I'll believe your consultancy fees are worth it when you explain why republicans can say whatever fascistic sundowning shit they want without punishment, but Democrats are lectured not to use words they never actually use. Until then...

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...
Have experienced. It's not fatal, except for Whoppers future purchase intent. Sorry for your loss.
Please tell me that's not a mirror under the whole contraption.

I'm not a follower. I made an observation about what I regarded as his petulant savior complex. He quote-tweeted it rather than replying where we could have hashed it out, had he so desired.
Mr. Confident disabling replies is really on-brand for him.
When @radiofreetom.bsky.social extracted everything he could from the republican party, he framed himself as a hero rather than a late-stage convert. And now he's indignant that his ilk -- personified by an unrepentantly corrupt right-wing justice -- wasn't rewarded back in the day.

Interested in closings, are you? Great! Here's a list of 700 or so hospitals at risk of closing thanks to the republican budget. Stay busy. www.commondreams.org/news/hospita...
I'm a little surprised he even offered his Dem-consultant conventional wisdom for free. Insights like that are usually worth big bucks to the folks who can't seem to get elected.

I've only ever heard her having one job. What, exactly, is her work release in service of?
Is this why his secret service codename is "Douche Canoe"?
You're not wrong on the merits. But expecting GWB to do the logical or moral thing ignores everything we know about him. If I wasn't so annoyed by everything else, I'd be annoyed at his reputation rehab simply because he wasn't this guy. His unitary executive theory led us directly here.

We've had "work or die" labor arrangements in this country before. We had to fight a war and amend the Constitution to get it properly resolved.
Right after Trump finally names Vance heir apparent to MAGA, JD goes rolling around in the Epstein muck. I don't grant trump much credit for planning, but it would be pretty funny for this to turn into some kind of Hillbilly Effigy.
No woke, go broke.
All the rubes who used to go around warning people not to trust fast-talking city slickers were the first to buy into what djt was selling. And now they have to sit around deafening each other with praise for dear leader, lest reality intrude.
These are the people too many Democrats are trying to meet halfway. Still trying to reach across the aisle? At least spare us the performative surprise when they slit your wrist.
Well, there were some inappropriate sexual situations with a close relative. Which is a lead-pipe cinch marker for Trump.

this is a must-read. and it's not great that zero democratic politicians/candidates have been willing to speak up about this level of corruption over the last decade. no wonder consultants are so terrified zohran
The Dems at the presser are calling it Trump's Texas takeover cause that's what it is It's all to protect him ffs That he just sent his buddy Maxwell to a Texas prison should be part of this conversation

It's almost like their collective guilt bubbles up in the form of manic projection.
Is there a day in the last year where one of these stories HASNโT come out about a Republican?

I don't do recurring donations anymore after being, essentially, trapped into forever donations to the HRC (way to ruin it for everyone, guys). But I threw in some cash to help your voice break through.
Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who donโt stand up, just remember we will never forget.
The Hill, a poliitical journal cozy with the right, has finally recognized trump's a gibbering moron. I wonder what changed over the last few weeks that have them reconsidering his strengths. ๐ค
Keep hearing from respectable econ-knowers that this administration's data is fine and there's no evidence they're cooking the books. But why do the alarmists keep racking up points while the rational folks keep ending up ambushed by events? This note also works for establishment Dems.
I think the way you're posing this question -- as if your grudging presence is a favor to the platform -- explains your limited success. It also suggests an answer about whether you should stay.
Sounds like she shows up at a party where no one knows her and complains it's lame because people aren't beating a path to talk to her. Stay or go, but don't be a prima donna.

Chris Murphy: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it. Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.
Without the picture, I wouldn't know which one you were talking about.
Look Rick, Naught for nothing but I don't want to hear a word about any type of insurance from the person who defrauded the Medicare and Medicaid system. You should be in prison, not the halls of Congress. But we do need insurance reform in #USDemocracy floridapolitics.com/archives/749...
Most reliable idiot control I know of is republican party registration, but I guess that's a non-starter.

Is there a way to extrapolate what that means for landfall? I'm no expert but led to believe the incline of seabed toward coast amplifies the tsunami. Is there a calculation, or does it just depend on local geography?

Wow, we got a real first-order-thinking hero here. She voted in favor of a process that cleared the way for Bove to be seated. She didn't have to do that. Most of her base didn't want her to do it. Sorry it upsets you, but the fault lies with her for doing it, not me for pointing it out.
Compelling.
So she didn't invoke cloture, without which the nomination couldn't go forward? Or she DID do that, in which case your message wasn't just condescending but incorrect? bsky.app/profile/sena...
You just voted to install Emil Bove for a lifetime seat. Have you ever considered not capitulating to the republicans' whims? That might be a good place to start.
Big night for @cortezmasto.senate.gov She voted for another Trump nominee. Got into a fight with Cory Booker - and Emil Bove will get confirmed to the Third Circuit seat that should belong to Adeel Mangi til she launched her islamophobic attack on him
FYI
Turns out the big problem in this country is we're not compromising with republicans enough. Thanks for cracking the code.

I guess @jaketapper.bsky.social's Biden book didn't sell that well. But now book buyers have the chance to do the funniest thing.
Jake Tapper is wrong on a fairly important date. USA Alex Acosta signed a secret plea deal w Jeffrey Epstein in September 2007 that was only made public in June 2008. In the interim, Epstein transferred $48M in investments to Leslie Wexner. First & last page of Epstein plea deal:
He's talking about "invasion of privacy." Because Coldplay famously broke into his secret love nest to film the couple canoodling in front of a fireplace. Right? That's the footage we all saw, right?
That CBS newscast did everything it could to dial up the sympathy for the Trumper woman and family. And yet, nothing.
Remember when they all freaked out about Obama's "FEMA camps"? It's always projection. We'd be much more effective in combatting them if we started looking into what they're plotting whenever they toss a bizarre conspiracy about Dems out there.
Well, sure, but the trump bible has the hottest centerfolds you'll ever see. Many people are saying so.
Colbert to CBS
Trump is puppeting Axios and Paramount as we speak. They downplay his failures and ignore Epstein. To hell with them. Worse yet, weโve let corporations, especially big tech and media, grow into monopolies. Itโs time someone blew the dust off the antitrust laws.
Maine has the oldest population in the country. The state's centrist fetish, where Susan Collins enables republicans' worst instincts and Jared Golden struggles to meet them halfway, is a realistic way to lower the mean age by getting rid of The Olds.

Based on what real-world evidence? Not her voting record. Why do republican women who make "moderate" noises hold such sway over reporters and pundits? Lucy's just going to pull away that football again, guys.
If you havenโt heard about the horror story unfolding in Alabama, itโs beyond evil. A bunker found where children were being tortured and sexually assaulted. Tommy Tuberville, the dumbest U.S. Senator always has lots of smartass comments about blue states. Tommy, fix your shithole. Dumb Fuck.

He's a trump enabler trying to engineer some plausible deniability for the day when the inevitable arrives. See related genus: Susan Collins.
The next Dem Congress needs to make it priority number 1 to absolutely gut anyone who has benefited from Trump's second term. Fire every single ICE employee on Day 1, target all tax priorities on fleecing the rural gentry, etc.
Katy Tur's husband? Bowing at the altar of both-sides-ism? Yeah, that lines up nicely.
Evidence keeps piling up that there just isn't any such thing as a "meritocracy" creating the very wealthy. There's just a skewed tax code.
