Damn. That's bleak AFIt is a cult. And it's really sad. It's like a cult for boomers whose children don't speak to them anymore.

What do you mean an aide is out on msnbc with Pence in photo? I know about Pence.The news is still going tonight, an aide to pompeo is out and on msnbc at least Pence is now fully in the photo, not just his shoulder.
As for the town hall, cuomo shouldn't have gotten a pass for that...uh...joke?

Fraud Guarantee is too on the nose for me. We're gonna have to change the name when we make the miniseries.
There's the context! Suddenly Sondland makes more sense!Shit i just realized they let Sondland testify because Fiona just got announced about dirt on Sondland.
Here's my thing. I'm not a gay who particularly cares about pronouns. In that sense, that moment from Harris wasn't for me.
But there are a lot of queer people across the gender spectrum that do care. That not only care, but actually want a reality where open pronoun identification becomes normalized. We see those arguments play out all the time.
I have problems with Cuomo's joke there, but giving Kamala shit for being one of only 3 candidates in this race to embrace pronoun identification is a bit bitcheatingcrackers.jpg to me.
So, I wanna be clear...I don't hate Harris at all. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between Harris/Warren. I landed on Warren, but I don't think ill of Harris most of the time. My son is one of those younger gays who is into pronouns. He's just a kid, of course, but he gave a gay gasp when she did it...and not in a good way. The way she presented it was so flippant that it DID really piss me off (who also is an old school gay who doesn't really give much thought to pronouns...especially being a CIS-gender male.) It just really, really rubbed me the wrong way. Cuomo's joke was even more gross, I agree. Harris often tries too hard for a moment, and the reason she doesn't always get them is because of that. She's trying too hard.
And, believe me, I would give my right tooth for Harris to be the alternative to Warren as opposed to Biden...cause then I'd only have a preference not an actual fear that my girl won't win it.
She should've called out the shitty joke on stage. That would've been the smart thing to do, not just go awkwardly say "alright". But she didn't and that says something to me.
This is what I keep saying.If I sent writing as lazy as this reality to my editor, he would have kicked me out of his office.
Sorry, those are two separate things. They weren't showing pence in the photo with trump and giuliani's associates, initially.What do you mean an aide is out on msnbc with Pence in photo? I know about Pence.
Either they determined he doesn't have damning info or they got their stories straight. It's tainted, IMO
Mr. Giuliani's moves also ran counter to a long-running American effort to curb Iran's nuclear program as the United States was trying to punish players, like Mr. Zarrab, who helped the regime evade sanctions.
The case, called the single largest evasion of Iranian sanctions in United States history, revolved around a scheme by the Turkish bank in 2012 and 2013 to send billions of dollars in gold and cash to Iran in exchange for oil and natural gas.
I just mean trying too hard to have a "moment." Warren's moment worked because it was organic. It just happened. Harris' didn't land for me because it was clearly planned and rehearsed to hell. Sometimes rehearsed moments CAN land. Her attack on Biden did. Hillary's "I prepared to be President" thing landed. This one didn't. And I think her campaign has become too reliant on trying to go from a moment to a moment with lulls in between. I don't think that served her well.Of course, everyone is entitled to how they feel.
But for me, it's going to take a lot (a LOT), to believe that the woman who was a part of the fight and multiple significant victories for LGBTQ+ people, who was ignoring federal law and marrying gay couples in 2008, who's AG campaign manager was Harvey Milk's campaign manager...it's going to take a lot for me to believe that person is "trying too hard." Because, to me, "trying too hard" is implying disingenuous intent.
To me, the "....alright" was calling it out.
Probably just repeat the "no quid pro quo" line and lie about the rest.
But hey, here's more info on yet another massive crime:
Warren's moment was almost certainly a planned answer for an obvious question. She just delivered it better, making it seem more natural.I just mean trying too hard to have a "moment."

Once you leave employment of the gov they can't control your appearances (with some exceptions)
My parents are boomers too. They're not like that though. But in a general sense, boomers are so much different than millennials. Fundamentally different life experiences.You know what I've learned about boomers from all this? They CANNOT admit fault. I had to sever from my folks because of just how bad they got and introspection is impossible to them.
How the hell do you argue with "Brett Kavanaugh couldn't have raped these women because he has a family!"? That's a lot literal talking point my parents have.
This is the most charitable interpretation, and if it's true then the response is still so weak as to be irrelevant in the face of blatant transphobia. I'm sure she'll release a stronger statement of condemnation very soon.
That revolving door is starting to present some issues, eh?

It doesn't take too much to be like "that's not cool, Chris." In the moment. You can expound upon it later but in the moment, being a good ally means calling it out when you see it. Her response was just too subtle.It's hard to do the kind of thing Harris tried to do. It inherently feels like pandering unless you're doing it even in other contexts. Because it clearly is pandering to only come out with that in the safest possible place. But people like to be pandered to and it's a gesture of respect, so whatever.
And likewise I think it's asking a lot to expect a candidate to react in just the way you'd want in real time to something as weird and offensive as Cuomo's response. They have to parse this really surprising thing -- "Did he just do what I think he did?" -- and then be the right amount of outraged without crossing a line, and if they overstep at any stage it's disastrous.
I just think it's very hard to decide fast enough that that's what happened. I guess you can ding her for not being so immersed in this stuff that she didn't automatically tag it as really offensive, but I feel like lots of people who are genuine allies, in a context where calling someone out when it's not warranted would be disastrous, would take a few seconds to decide that they're sure enough about what just happened to clearly call it out.It doesn't take too much to be like "that's not cool, Chris."

To clarify, I'm not dinging or condemning her for anything here, just a small critique from me is all. She handled the rest of the townhall pretty well IMO.I just think it's very hard to decide fast enough that that's what happened.
