Did the moderator question what she said at all? Did she provide any proof?
Republicans have been doing this as long as I can remember . And I'm pretty old.
How long before Conservative judges start siding with Trump no matter what the Constitution says?
Perfectly expressed
It has always had more to do with not wanting to be perceived as "liberal" media than both sides.
Does he have to stop or will the illegal tariffs remain for the foreseeable future?
Where were these people during the Bush II nightmare?
Go back to Bush I. That dude should have served life for treason. He literally sold arms to an enemy state that was actively seeking to kill Americans at the time. To me, Iran-Contra and Oliver North’s smirking mug and the conservative defense of their lawlessness was the first open step to here.
One of the most disillusioning things in my life was Obama talking about looking forward back and his DOJ not pursuing charges against bush and cheney. If those dudes were in prison right now I think we wouldn’t be here.
Anyone who supported Reagan, Bush I, Bush II , McCain or Romney can go fuck themselves. I don't care how often you appear on MSNBC, you brought this.
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Simply ignore them and do what you want. I was involved in govt. for yrs. No one knows what you are doing or cares.
This is right out of the Conservative play book.
I have an older, 75, friend who has lived in the east end for yrs and feels the same, especially now that he needs some help.
Has she collected any of the money?
This evil woman can gfh
Gun violence will continue to happen until everyone who is not in the GOP stops parroting their talking points and demands a ban on ALL guns.
Ich auch
out of office Democratic politicians should fight Trump, not play both sides-2000 politics.
I am currently at my 2nd home in Weimar, Germany. I have been to at least 2 large public functions where there was a small police presence. Not only were none of the citizens armed, but neither is law enforcement!
I thought it was funny when he confessed to throwing the sandwich.
Let's put on our big boy pants and call for an all-weapons ban.
When Jeff van Drew ran as a Democrat, we knew something was up. When he turned full Republican, no one was surprised Now, he is just a Trump kissing asshole . Don't cover him, don't vote for him .
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
As an actual liberal Democrat who was actively involved with the party for over 30 yrs, tell which Dems are doing this? Also explain to me why our party should move even further to the right to attract voters who will NEVER vote for us?
She needs to go back to being a parking-lot lawyer or whatever the hell she was before she got Mar-A-Lago face and began losing cases for trump
Or Conservative . Essentially the same thing .

One of his shining moments was his duet with Tina Turner. The live version is a gift.
In 2 weeks I will go to Munich where they had a king the world calls "Mad King Ludwig ". He built beautiful palaces. Small change.
People in power did know and still did nothing because, you know, norms.
Just like when Conservatives under Reagan told us 401k plans were better than defined pensions because we were in charge of our money. They lied.
Too bad no one said this during the "true Conservative " Reagan or Bush years.
Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.
Brace yourself.
So you posted it for yourself?
Poor Bolton! It's a good thing his participation in having Bush II appointed president, his constant support of failed Conservative policies and his original support of Trump did not in any way lead to this.
I grew up speaking only English and started learning another language in high school and then college . I now have spent part of the last 20 yrs out of the country speaking that language. A 2nd language is a gift. Fuck Trump administration.
These people have no clue.
Agreed. But who will charge and prosecute them? Not trying to make light of the situation but these people break the law with impunity and simply pointing it out is useless.
Let's assume it is illegal. Now what?
So, after all these years Conservatives have finally gotten back to Antebellum counting.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where politicians and news outlets will treat this as ok?
But he did win. Has anything at all happened because of this judgment? Has it stopped or impacted him in any way?
Why is MSNBC paying John Kasich to blame both sides for the gerrymandering mess when it's clearly driven by Republican mischief? Democrats want a fair, independent process; Republicans want to keep stealing political power from voters of color. It's obvious.
I purposely did not watch that interview because I suspected what it would be. Apparently, I was correct.
I have spent half the year in Germany for 15 years and have never had a car.
Why doesn't she just leave and make them physically stop her?
What is the ratio between the amount Tennessee pays to the Fed and the amount they receive in Fed aid?
I do not want to hear anyone tell me this is "unprecedented ". They did it anyway!
“Progress” is not what got them to drop everything, including Merloni leaving her vacation, to scramble and fly to DC immediately. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt is both stupid and a douche.
Great . Did you ask Michael Steele if the party he ran would welcome Eugene Daniels?
Now do BushI and Bush II
She should attempt to leave and make them physically stop her.
Oklahoma is a failed state! Why would any teachers from NY or CA want to go to this hell hole?
"Boston will never back down from being a beacon of freedom, and a home for everyone." Do you hear that tyrants?
Backup. First you have to explain what Budapest is and then what a memorandum is.
I think most whores have better taste.
Why did they return? Who didn't see this coming? No need to point out how illegal it is, they will do it anyway.
What was the old meaning? Because I go back to Reagan and I don't remember it ever meaning anything good.
Once again, executive orders are NOT laws. They don't have to be followed.
The reason for this is that none of the elites want Conservatives to call them "Liberals " or "left leaning".
Happy Hour martini in beliebte Weimar!
D's couldn't do anything because their "friends across the aisle " might have been upset.
Nothing new. When did the GOP ever want to count non-white people?
How about Lewandowski 's apartment? Could she live there?
Except they cut most assistance.
As if being a young "Conservative " was ever a good/intelligent thing. GFY
Also, the word "unprecedented " is meaningless.
So happy to be back at my second home in the land of "not assholes " !
Y'all need to get paid subscriptions to Elliott's newsletter, because *so much* of the meat here is past the paywall (as I realized when I first saw the post from a non-signed-in browser). For instance, this list of things *other than ideology* we should be focused on
Don't Federal judges normally remain silently in the background, not involving themselves in public discussions?
Just like every other Conservative government since 1980
Ready for a Greek dinner in beliebte Weimar.
No way! Seriously?
Assuming, of course, she's only on box #1.
Why do these National Guard members comply?
Every Conservative president adds to the debt. It's just that now we're pretending only the Trump part counts.
And calling it "unnecessary " is just the ticket.
Everyone seriously needs to stop making legal rationalization for this administration. They follow no laws and don't care what anyone says. Least of all legal/institutional apologists.
The "officers" who do this should, at some point, be held accountable and at the very least, shunned by everyone.
It is way too soon for football!
They have always believed "the rich will inherit the Earth."
How is $2300 a month, low rent?
Having been very involved in local, county and state politics for years, i can tell you that, sadly, that is how it is . Both sides know if they don't do it the other side will.
The thing is they don't disagree with the policies. Conservatives have been like this since Reagan.
I wish he was dead.
Same with Trump's trash family . They want nothing more than to be part of NYC'S elite.
I'm asking for the Qataris to just give me the cash instead. Let's see how that goes too.
Why are you trying to bring logic into this?
When will people, including the press, realize that an executive order is not law and can be ignored?
Well, he thinks of himself as a tsar and this is what his pea brain imagines their palaces were like.
Am i so old that no one else remembers what a catastrophe Reagan was? Or is the Conservative propaganda machine that good?
