I'm sure I'll be flamed for this (as the old expression goes) but does anyone else think AOC is too young and inexperienced to run for President this time out?
I was talking to one of my black female friends at the dog park yesterday and she said flatly "Democrats need a white male nominee."
Attacks against ICE agents (which ICE undoubtedly lies about) and murder of American civilians are two different sets with unknown overlap so you fail this test. Unless you were being sarcastic... hmm... never mind.
I have to wonder: did Kristen Welker have the intelligence or the cojones to challenge Ted Cruz on his lie about Talarico? Did she say to him "Senator, you know that's a lie. Representative Talarico said "cisgendered," which is a word in the English language that you should look up instead of continuing to lie about what he said."
If not why should I or anyone watch someone like her on a show like that?
You have to understand. While Talarico did say "cisgendered," Donald Trump heard "six gendered," so now the entire Republican Party has to die on the hill that James Talarico said there are six genders.
I do understand. Absolutely. But Kristen Welker sure as hell shouldn't be a member of the Republican Party. She should be a registered independent, as all the journalists at NBC News were when I worked there in the 1980s-90s; and she should call out ANYONE on their deliberate, blatant lies. Make Ted Cruz claim it over and over if he wants, while her job is to point out the facts, including the transcript, the corrections made, and the truth.
That Paxton "interview" was infuriating. I don't know how people watch that shit every week.
Every question was "react to this thing." I gave up 2/3 of the way through. Was he EVER asked about his record as attorney general or what he would bring to the table as a senator? I'm struggling to understand what the point was of having Paxton on the show instead of one of his flunkies.
The way the Republicans humiliate themselves is stunning. The "six genders" nonsense derives from when the Gropenfuhrer slurred the word "cisgender" during a speech about Talarico, making it sound like "six genders". Rather than issuing a correction the WH claimed that he meant what he said, and marching orders went out to repeat "six genders" in all public statements.
It's the verbal equivalent of wearing ill-fitting Florsheims.
And have you seen the President's new suit? I have never seen clothing of that quality before.
Of course, as I'm sure you know, stupid, low-brow people can't even see the suit because the quality of the clothing is too superior for them to perceive.
And still no Constitutional scholar has adequately explained whether FTC is eligible to run for preznit, being born in Canada to a Cuban father and perhaps a naturalized Canadian mother. Not like he was born to a diplomat or on a US military installation, it should be simple.
Senator Tillis. This has got to stop! Trump thinks the US is his private property that he can trash or sell to a friend of his as he wants too. None of this belongs to him!!! None of it. He has trashed the White House and grounds and not one Republican has spoken up. Trying to sell Yosemite to a buddy, and bulldoze Big Bend National Park? No! No more of this!!
Come on Man!! Speak up. DO SOMETHING! Republicans are already the party of do nothing. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain as Trump sells off our heritage, trashes Washington DC with gold statues in his honor, and arch for no purpose at all, and an algae ridden reflecting pool. I am getting the distinct impression that all of you Republicans are just out to lunch on protecting our nation. Stop virtue signaling and actually rein in this maniac.
Homan better come clean on the whole bag money episode soon. Cause it's still there. The WH swept it under the dumpster fire. There's a big firehose that's coming in November that's gonna soak that dumpster fire and there's gonna be a lot of forensic work done on the ashes. You listening, gruff guy!
"HOMAN: No, and I don't — I don't — yes, I don't think that treatment occurred. It will be investigated, but we get allegations a lot. Every law enforcement agency in this country gets allegations of mistreatment. But, look, we know that threats against ICE officers are up over 9,000 percent. Actual attacks are up over 1,400 percent."
* Of a certain the abuses never occurred. Aren't the ICEholes known for politeness and coddling of illegal aliens?
* People are saying that the investigators to be assigned are the same ones who proved that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were domestic terrorists attempting to kill gubmint agents just doing a thankless job.
* Yeah, law enforcement agencies receive allegations of mistreatment, but nowhere near the alleged (right... alleged) numbers that ICE has been racking up since the current regime took power. An agency shown to have systemic abuses within is subject to federal intervention, extremely large financial liability, policy overhauls, and independent structural oversight; none of which ICE is being subjected to.
* Before the dipshits now running the gubmint took over the ICEholes weren't angels but they didn't go out of their way to violate the rights of those living in the US. Even the undocumented were treated considerably more humanely than what we witness today. When you bully and assault people willy-nilly then of course threats will increase; the growing number of attacks on the ICEholes are probably 90%-95% self-defense. IOW, when the numbnuts in ICE lighten up so will the threats and self-defensive actions of laypeople.

"I mean, I — I'm not familiar with the country conditions in Haiti. I have never been there"
It's apparent that the eejits working for the Fulvous Fuckwad are as ignorant as he is.
* Homan has not paid any attention to news from Haiti for years if he's unaware of the living conditions.
* I've never been to prison, and especially solitary confinement, but that doesn't mean I'm unaware of the conditions prisoners experience.
* Homan's lack of awareness rivals that of Jay Clayton's before Sen Ossoff hipped him to what his predecessor had done.
God, I still miss Tim Russert.
Every time I see his face, I must post this:
“I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.”

I was talking to one of my black female friends at the dog park yesterday and she said flatly "Democrats need a white male nominee."
If attacks against ICE agents was up 1,400%, the murder of American civilians would be up 1,400%.
ICE agents only have one response to any perceived threat, real or imaginary.
Your math is not.
My math is hot.
Attacks against ICE agents (which ICE undoubtedly lies about) and murder of American civilians are two different sets with unknown overlap so you fail this test. Unless you were being sarcastic... hmm... never mind.

These figures are probably lies, but still - And why do you suppose that is, Tom?
Another thing; the 'six genders' thing is just astonishingly stoopid. It was 'cis gender', not six genders. Moron.

Y'see, it's just impossible for Rethugs to ever make a mistake.
And still no Constitutional scholar has adequately explained whether FTC is eligible to run for preznit, being born in Canada to a Cuban father and perhaps a naturalized Canadian mother. Not like he was born to a diplomat or on a US military installation, it should be simple.
Note to Senator Tillis just now:
Senator Tillis. This has got to stop! Trump thinks the US is his private property that he can trash or sell to a friend of his as he wants too. None of this belongs to him!!! None of it. He has trashed the White House and grounds and not one Republican has spoken up. Trying to sell Yosemite to a buddy, and bulldoze Big Bend National Park? No! No more of this!!

I tried to watch the videos, but all I heard Paxton saying was "Poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop . . ."
That pic of Ted (i could not bring myself to listen to him) is evil personified.
and
Fuck Ted Cruz.
WHAR US CITIZENSHIP, TED
I am SO TIRED OF PEOPLE TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY WHEN HE'S NOTHING MORE THAN A BAGMAN FOR EXXON WHO DOESN'T DESERVE IT
