If it ever really sinks in for Trump (and his supporters) that he's going to lose/has lost, anything's possible. He can tweet mass shootings into existence at any time.
It would happen after Presidential election. You don't give up the seat unless you get the other job!
I get wanting to focus on what Trump did, it should be front page news for the whole week.
But I'm sick of the shitheaded casual bigotry going unabated on the left. And it always fucks up left movements. And it is always from the same dudes ill equipped to handle diverse audiences acting up because they chose to ignore nuance for the "bigger picture".
And then wonder why a section of people make their own off shoot branch because they don't want to fuck with them.

Yep
this whole thing is a cancer. Progressives infighting all over social media.
I think the problem with that is that everyone pays different rates for different levels of coverage and so it's really almost impossible to put out a broad "how much money people will save" statement because its so variable. For my family we spend just over $300/month through our healthcare through my wife's work for a really good plan (I do not know what the portion the company pays). If we got it through my work it would be slightly cheaper but also our out of pocket expenses would be a lot higher. Medicare for All might be a wash for us (not factoring in company contribution because that's also very variable with what may happen to that) but it sounds like it might work out better for you. That's kind of why I prefer Pete's plan, if you're fine with you coverage then go ahead and keep it but if you're not then here is the other good option for you to go to.
I'm more worried about the safety of common people if the notion of a power transition is ever broached again.
Really interesting how Vox things that Bernie and Warren had both a good night. I happen to agree, and im quite interested to see if today"s polls reflect that.
Oh, for sure. I'm not saying it's wrong, just that any sort of detente wasn't going to last forever. Especially under these circumstances.
While Putin is the President I assume the Russian Prime Minister gets to do jack shit.
If that isn't a typo it doesn't mean much. This basically happened as recently as 2018.
If nothing else, this illustrates the real advantage that Biden has as a former Vice President: people feel like they know him. Nothing's really stuck to him so far (and not for lack of trying!) because he is - or is perceived as - a known quantity. Most people have only known about Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren for a few years, in spite of the fact that they've been around forever, and so there's still room for reassessment.
I'm sure it'll get traction within the day. It's sordid, terrifying, and frankly insane; it's the reddest of meat. Like, there is no way to see those screenshots as talking about anything but assassination.

Bernie Sanders can unify Democrats and beat Trump in 2020
The first in a Vox series making the best case for each of the top Democratic contenders.

So I fully expect Tulsi or the Green nominee to exploit this, with the help of social media, and siphon off a couple million votes. A lot of the people complaining right now on Twitter don't realize the importance of the judiciary branch or just don't give a shit.
Meh, Tulsi can't siphon a million votes in the primary. Let alone the general lol
The russia thing is quite bizarre. Puting proposed massive constitional changes like removing powers from the president and giving them to the Prime minister and the Parliament. In response, Medvedev and the government resigned. These proposed changes sound way too good coming from Putin so i am quite confused.
Putin is term limited. He wants to give Parliament new powers, then appoint himself to parliament (maybe as Prime Minister?) and keep on being in charge of the country.
I'm surprised he didn't just propose removing term limits, maybe his power does have limits.
Putin's Presidential Term limits are kicking in so he wants to change the government to shift power away from the President to the Prime Minister which is where he will install himself
Democracy has been dead in Russia for some time now but this just blatantly cements it
It is, but the world has made massive progress in the last century or so. We still have a long way to go, but progress is happening slowly but surely.
Only two consecutive terms for presidents. Putin and Medwedew already switched places to let Putin have another two consecutive terms. Putin is in his second term again (until 2024). They will likely switch places again to let Putin have another two consecutive preidential terms.
He's just setting it up so he can maintain power after his term is up.
Commence more eye rolling
I'm actually surprised Bernie and Warren didnt coordinate to align messaging before the debate
This sucks. The same ol primary politics needs to be retired for something new. Especially with so much at stake. This entire circus is fruitless. In fact it may have longer lasted negative consequences
User Warned: Inflammatory generalization
Worse IMO, Trump supporters don't pretend to be non-misogynistic allies.
The twitter replies to Moore are somewhat encouraging.
Also, not every dubious or friction-laden interaction between candidates is "backstabbing". His comment also suggests he viewed Warren as having a role to play on Sanders' behalf. Not helping.

House Dems are set to demand that the State Department account for Yovanovitch's safety during her stalking, in light of explosive Lev Parnas documents, aide tells me.
Pompeo's stonewalling suddenly looks much worse.

Thinking Warren is playing politics with an extremely contorted account of what happened is not "telling" about anything other than their possessing that selfsame belief.
Anecdotally, the most pro-Bernie acquaintance of mine last night posted an editorial from the Washington Times calling Warren Pocahontas.
Putin is leaving the presidency in 2024. So he is reducing that power. If i get this right, he plans to become PM again....where he has powers again. Then run for president again, when he can. And restore the power he took away.
The Native American stuff is alive and well in the main threads about this kerfuffle.
