dudes seeing a woman who visibly reeks of marlboro reds and the must of a warm refrigerator: if she says it's okay to say the n-word i'm going to bring back slavery

Is this the best character assassination of Chris Murphy the purity test flunkers have? 🤨 He speaks out effectively against Trump and the current admin’s corruption and lawlessness Murphy’s comments on podcast content not even sourced just vibes SMH

he's a horndog listening to red scare for, uh, nonpolitical reasons

We need to elected people who build like 40k figurines or something because wtf is this shit

Before I agree to this I need to know which army. The GOP seems to already be chock full of Black Templar players.

that bad show become really bad when the male actor started doing that ( i was watching it for Robin Wright not everyone else, I never finished it )

Imperial Guard army painted like the Wehrmacht

I’ve never listened to red scare and never will, but “hot younger women give you permission to be reactionary while considering yourself cool” is a (literal?) siren song to men of almost any stripe

unfortunately yes.

I don't want to be too alarmist but I feel like he's a heavy favorite to be the next leader in the dem senate and I cannot emphasize enough how bad it would be for dem senate leadership to be under the sway of post-libs

The guy mostly known for sexually harassing interns is going to be leader? I'm about as pessimistic about the Democratic Party as anyone, but he has no chance.

That would definitely not be a disqualification for Dem congress. They are jonesing hard for Cuomo to win NYC and he's about as lecherous as they come.

No they’re not?

Lol

I'm into Chris Van Hollen lately, is there anything I should know about him?

Connecticut. Karenlandia. Oy.

Look, at least Murphy's takeaway was "stop fucking collaborating with Republicans". Most productively brain-damaged congresscritter.

I want to go back to the world where Senators do not know what a podcast is. Give me 100 Chuck Grassleys before we permit one red scare listener in the senate

I believe it is technically “Chucks Grassley”

This is not just a good pluralization, but a highly amusing verb-object pairing.

If we must live in a stupid cyberpunk world, I am waiting for some heroic hackers to destroy X’s servers and save us all from it melting the minds of our elites.

Days (hours?) away from an AI render of Anne Hathaway & Sydney Sweeney reading “Camp of the Saints” captures a divorced Democrat congressman.

Wonder if there is a difference between a government run facility like a school and a privately owned bar?

End of days END OF DAYS

Both CT senators could and should be replaced

wtf last I heard from him he was more clear-sighted about the Trumpism threat than most

He is weirdly variable. I have a running joke about this ("Murphy good again." I regret to inform you Murphy is bad again." etc.)

Classic for a Connecticut lib WASP: sincere and earnest but with many blind spots

yeah, like 70(?) percent of the time he says fairly progressive Democratic things & then the remainder will sound as if he wants to write for Compact Magazine.

I think that he, like many journalists, is very easily impressed by Heterodox Ideas & feels that he has to take them seriously & seek dialogue, etc.

He’s got a less shitty form of a Ro Khanna cycle. But every time he really gets cooking he swerves the car right into the ditch.

Key difference: Khanna usually endorses something vile by accident and then has to pass it off like he didn’t. Murphy’s sin is usually “we should hear them out” / try to understand them sort of bullshit well past when that’s tenable.

Had a feeling Schatz was lost when he came back here and then left for X a second time

Schatz is dead to me when he supported Schumer in the last CR

People were attacking him relentlessly, so I don't blame him.
