you can easily find this stuff at any ivy league architecture department, likely written under the influence of amphetamines, but taken very seriously by people who are stone cold sober

Drain The Swamp works because it names a real problem! Just that instead of the plain meaning, its 'persecute our political enemies'.

talia jane was a transplant to the bay area now to NYC and if she doesn't think people should be able to live in those places she should have the decently to fuck off back home.

the longer he stays in power, the more chance baseball pope gonna get his ass

Epstein tried to hire Wolff as his biographer. He declined but by Wolff's own account, they became fairly close around that time.

Wolff's whole career has been access journalism at its purest.

Without an ethos of curiosity, without a constant undercurrent of self-doubt to innoculate us, anyone among us will gaze into a mirror and think we see the world.

the people you talk to when you call congress are poorly paid administrative staff. they aren't working on policy and aren't working on a campaign. if you're attacking a 19yo college kid who met their bosses once three months ago, you're a bad person.

would you also make a teenage cashier miserable because you don't like the price of groceries?

you have a right to vigorously express your frustration with a politician. you do not have a right to be an asshole to people working for little/no pay who aren't themselves at all responsible.

hey if it works, it works

Which imo, while at least somewhat strategic, is why he needs to lose his leadership positions immediately.

(Also he clearly can't keep the senate caucus unified in opposition, and like his colleague from NY, he's an ugly bigot. But I digress)

Dumb people will claim there's more backroom dealing than there is here. Not even Schumer wanted this outcome, his work was to limit the damage for the 1-2 defectors up for reelection.

90% sure Kaine ate somebody else's vote. Only Senators who weren't up for reelection or were true believers in giving up would have considered this defection a good idea in the first place and Hasan's strategic thinking really is that bad.

i'm willing to say that i was not a great judge of which candidate might literally lose all empathy due to major brain trauma.

fetterman was mostly judged correctly as an anti-establishment outsider, most but not super progressive. but then part of his brain died and he became asshole #1.

this is why i think the path to democracy in this county, for better or worse, passes through angry mobs demanding the heads of sitting senators

fuck john husted. send his ass back to asstown.

this is a good idea, but i'd also add that schumer can be stripped of his leadership position rather easily. we'll have to eat his votes, but its his negotiations as leader that have hurt the most.

as a socialist who spends too much time online myself, i feel confident saying some people need to stop arguing with a stubborn midwestern lawyer and start studying the blade (spreadsheets)

a lot of that wealth is directly attributable to vietnam's garment industry too, resulting in those low prices for quality t-shirts. it obviously hasn't reached globally high wealth and their garment workers still deserve better wages but for real vietnam is doing fucking great all told.

i think democrats in congress have been let off easy this year and calls help.

i want them to fear angry mobs. the alternative if they don't pull this through is going to be much worse.
