Barr wants to be one of the Commanders of the Faithful cultists. Dude has mid-level manager in Hell written all over him. That wacko speech he gave wasn't an accident, he's laying down the narrative that his people will use to mythologize their theocratic putsch through courts and minority political rule
Biden and Harris didn't either. Because they are smart...
Ok, Biden's campaign team is smart. He just needs to listen to them more.
Wait..wait.. So now it's the DNC's fault for not rigging shit?
I guess people don't care if it involves People of Color.
If I was Gulen, I would be looking for places in Toronto
Or Biden.
There were multiple candidates that didn't comment on that whole situation.
So easy not to get caught into the Tulsi Trap, yet people did it anyways.
lol that Biden video, I love how he keeps having a train of thought that he just suddenly jumps ahead of. He didn't really defend her, kinda deflected the issue to the topic at large and didn't take a bullet for Tulsi for no reason.
Gotta love how this is after the NYT corrected their story. The dems who defended her are complete idiots
OP
OP
Ok. Harris and Warren didn't but Harris isn't gonna win it so stop ruining my running gag!
He did comment on it though. He said we need to respect our veterans.
Unironically, the clown car primary this year and in 2016 on the GOP side indicates that parties have lost too much power in terms of winnowing and candidate selection. Normally people would drop out because they ran out of money or can't get campaign staff, things mediated by the party. They can't seem to wield this power any more and it's genuinely a problem. Not to put too fine a point on it, but if the GOP had had the power to exclude Trump from the primaries in 2015 the world would be a different, better place.
Oh, didn't see this video lol
Of course he responded to it.
However, I feel like this reading of what he said was accurate.
just shamelessly repeating GOP talking points
people on the left who like her are the biggest suckers on the planet
What's the word on the IG doing the FISA investigation? Career guy or in the tank?
oh, and I forgot this gem from talking to my mom. I asked her if she had read the call memo. She said she had and there was nothing wrong with it, because you had to "read the paragraphs separately". Separately. Because they were in separate calls and shouldn't be taken in context? I was literally screaming. (Actually screaming, it was exasperating. This is why we never talk politics.) There was also the part about how Northam (they are in VA) wants to kill babies coming out if the womb if they have Down Syndrome. And she is pro choice yet believes these things.

Yeah, literally all she had to do was endorse Bernie and then talk shit about the DNC and that was enough to get certain folks to fall for her.
Tulsi is the danger of a one-party state, all the conservative politicians in Hawaii worth their salt run as Democrats since they know they won't get elected as Republicans.
sure they do. it's not a super high bar but they need to have some reasonable indication that there's a crime; they can't just open up a criminal investigation for the hell of it and go fishing (that is, if everyone is following the rules)
i guess it's possible the news of it turning into a criminal investigation was leaked to distract from the president's latest problems but the actual 'crime' being investigated is some lame but legitimate 'someone lied to an investigator' allegation and not anything more explosive or nefarious.
michael horowitz, he's been in the job since 2012. People have called him a straight shooter so I hope he hasn't lost his mind.
Well they're about to start calling him an Obama-appointed DNC shill, so we'll see.
Warren drinks a beer at home while Trump extorts foreign leaders, no problem
Fairly long thread on why this article seems sketchy
kind of funny article about how people keep projecting their feelings on pictures of what they don't realize are right wing women

Tootsie endorsed Been in 2016 though. She served, guys. /s
She is as irritating as Eyepatch. Maybe even worse.

Hillary was on the money about Tulsi being groomed to help Trump Win. All the Bernie Bros will go to her in a 3rd party bid vs. Warren or Biden.
Russia is paying her so what do you expect she will do. She is going to go full on DNC rigged primary again and expect to get some small support from Bernie stans in PA/WI/MI
Cool. It wasn't looking good for her primary anyway. Only thing is that seems like a set-up for a third party run.
Neat. Now she's free to run a third-party campaign. Because of course she would. Hillary is literally Cassandra spitting out truths.
Of fucking course she isnt. So she can just pivot to a third party run.
Hillary, as always is right about everything lol
Good.
Her third party run (if she's stupid enough to try it) won't go anywhere besides the usual shit-for-brains trolls. Sanders will endorse the eventual nominee and the lion's share of his supporters (who are smaller in numbers this time) will follow along, especially if it's Warren.
Clinton was smart to call her out on it, now if Tulsi does run she'll have zero credibility among any liberal or Democrat.

ma'am fire literally which ever members of your staff that are telling you to do things like this and that time you got Big Mad About Polling As A Concept
I'll let Bernie slide for the moment, but... you respect Tulsi?
Why? You're getting all the side-eye here.
If there is one thing i have learned from the fuckery of the past, it's dismissing fuckery like this as 'good!', doesn't seem to work out. This Tulsi thing is worrying me. We got a lot of time left for the bots and propaganda to do their work.
Honestly, there's an important lesson here, that we've seen play out over and over again...
The inclination to appear fair, balanced, rational, thoughtful...is causing a worrisome number of people who really should know better to overlook blatantly obvious things because no, really, there has to be more to it than this!
Republicans and bad actors in general have learned that if you pull your grift right out in the open, the "smart people" will actually bend over backwards to come up with your alibi for you.
Every move that Tulsi is making has been obvious. So, so obvious.

Say it again for the people in the back.
Also, another important lesson--Always listen to Hillary Clinton.
She definitely is not, but yeah, the people plugging their ears because of the messenger...
It's "good" in that she won't be in Congress anymore. I'm aware of the possible ramifications, that's why I laid out why I don't think it'll be that big of a deal (but I could be wrong!).
