A couple of pictures can be worth a thousand words. Particularly when one of the pictures has a thousand words and the other has about ten.
Not to put too fine a point on it, the deal was that you guys get to keep talking about how bad and selfish liberals in the generic are and kirblar gets to bash the DSA in the generic. You can't really have it both ways.
A vacant home produces no income for the owner and has significant costs. What's the theory on why these homes are vacant?
LOL Hill throwing Clinton under the bus.
Clinton stans am cry.
(Hill said Clinton would have been helpful for Russia as well in terms of issue of legitimacy. They want to divide the country and Clinton would have helped on that front too.)

We saw this happen quite a bit in the 2012 Republican primary where it was basically always Romney in the lead, but there was a constant rotation of flavor-of-the-month candidates who were putting up a strong second.
Somehow it happened to land on Rick Santorum of all people when the time actually came to vote. But before that, there was Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain... some shot themselves in the foot, others just faded more naturally.
I actually don't know exactly who's equivalent to who in the 2020 Democratic primary, but also things aren't usually cleanly 1:1 like that, either. Biden isn't very formidable in Iowa or New Hampshire, so if you're strictly looking at those to determine a frontrunner that's going to paint a totally different picture. It's basically the only reason we're even talking about Buttigieg.
I would love for him to be Herman Cain, but his rise has been pretty consistent, no?
This isn't a great example because Romney only stayed afloat because
1.) He had the overwhelming support of the party establishment, and these people were involved in fundraising heavily for him
and
2.)Because of #1, Romney was able to simply outspend people like Santorum by ridiculous 12-1 margins in order to win states.
Biden is not in this position. Also noteworthy is that Romney was the lone voice of reason in a sea full of incompetent lunatics. On the other hand, every single other candidate running is more coherent than Biden is on a debate stage, and all of them sans Williamson are able to articulate detailed plans that run circles around whatever Biden has.
I wish I knew. Only he seems obsessed with these Trump nudes.
Can't tell if you're serious with the first two sentences there, but yeah. There'd still be a lot of division in this country if Clinton won the presidency.
I mean, Dubya hit 90% approval right after 9/11, but that came down to earth quickly. I think our prior needs to be that about ~40% of this country is always going to be angry at leadership. That's where polarization has led us, there's no politician who can realistically break 60% approval nationally. Obama is right around there, he's the closest thing to a unifier we have, plenty of people still fucking hate his guts either because he's black, because he's a Democrat or because he's pro-choice.
Well yeah, and I addressed that. Like I said, no comparison is ever going to be 1:1 neat and tidy.
Not just fake news. Now the entire press is fake. His brain worms are multiplying fast now.
Ew. Does he know something we don't or is he talking about the "pee tape"?

Wasn't being serious but it was interesting that Hill pointed that Clinton being elected would have helped Russia as well in terms of deligitimatizing the office of the presidency.
That tweet is amazing. There's only one tune to chant a three syllable phrase to!
As I recall, the Russian pranksters who called Lindsey Graham a few months ago l had called Schiff a while back and said they had the pee tape, essentially.
Schiff said that was interesting and told them to call the FBI. Republicans now bring this up as Schiff seeking unde pics of the pres.
Biden is sorta like Romey and Trump. Like Romney Biden is a weak frontrunner but Romney had NH to fall back on after an IA loss while Biden has to wait till SC to have a firewall. Like Trump Biden has had a consistent frontrunner national lead that hasn't really abated aside from a temp Warren rise that has stabilized.
What about the SportsCenter jingle? Or do we count that as six?
Finally, they had to wait until after the elections and I was wondering when they would announce.
BTW, do you guys catch the fact that when Sondland told Trump in Kiev, Trump didn't understand what that meant and clarified he was in Ukraine?
Should be:
"Former WH aide Fiona Hill accurately points out Republicans are echoing Russian propaganda."
Lol, I mean, how many ways can people do a three beat chant?
THREE BEAT CHANT
THREE BEAT CHANT
Fuck Tim Cook. He, Zuck, and the rest of these mega tech corporations are evil as hell, and will kiss Trump's or Xi's ass for more $$$.
Also gotta love Bill Gates worrying how much money he will have left if Warren implements her policies....just as he became the world's richest man again...

Pointing out that the DSA's tweet is disingenuous and in poor faith is not toxic.
That's way dumber than I ever imagined. How Schiff can go to work and not punch Nunes in the face everyday is beyond me.
I know people in the DSA and I appreciate it but don't like how they prop up Bernie while tearing down Warren just because Bernie calls himself a socialist (when DSA members are knowledgable enough to know that he's not one).
It took me a while to see Endgame, but I caught this picture floating around, and I honestly thought it was something from the Biden campaign. When people were saying that Biden looked ancient and decrepit, I was thinking, "But he looks really good in that campaign ad." I didn't know what "No, I don't think I will" meant, but he looked hale and hearty to me.Lol. My son thinks Biden looks exactly like old Cap from Endgame. He's kinda right.
And Biden's "punching at" comment is just a Classic Biden gaffe. He should lean into that more, instead of being defensive about it. Bush did and still has a genial goof persona. Same with Trump and his vision. If he put on a pair of reading glasses, it would humanize him. XI should have embraced the Pooh references. "How can he be a ruthless genocidal monster? He loves Winnie the Pooh!"
Herculean patience. Though he does get those smart jabs in here and there.
Get Trump on the phone with my mom.
Yassssssss
They had their shot with Morrison and Volker, they were GOP witnesses. That backfired tremendously as Volker and Morrison changed their testimony to state that they do believe that it was wrong what Trump did.
Also Bolton was trying to oppose them so he wouldn't really help Republicans much either.
I wonder if that will be enough for the opposition to form a government.
They have like 10 days left?
