Yet the media will sanewash him because no one can believe NBC would have had a longstanding relationship with a bigot.
this is racist as shit
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

If you look at Trump descending into deep dementia and wonder “how can Democrats repeatedly lose to this guy” just remember that Democrats are awful at politics because they never talk to normal people unless it’s part of a rare campaign stunt.
Replace them all with ransoms from the phone book.

Two things Democrats are overlooking:
1) Voters hate weakness more than stubbornness or even differences in opinion
2) Voters hate pols who sell them out more than they hate the pols who were against them all along (Americans remember Benedict Arnold but most can’t name a British general)

Hey I wonder if Senate Democrats will at least demand that the federal workers (who already went 40 days without paychecks) get more than the miserly 1% annual cost of living increase Trump is proposing.
Ha ha ha yeah not holding my breath.

Can’t wait to see Musk post pictures of him with children who were obviously pulled in to the photo at the last second.
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Tommy Tuberville slowed the Senate to a crawl by denying unanimous consent over a Biden nominee. Is any Democrat who opposes this budget cave-in as smart as Tuberville?
Let’s see how outraged they really are over this.

These are the sort of Democrats who would join Republicans in bailing out farmers who supported Trump and are facing foreclosure thanks to Trump policies, but now are insulated from the effects of their support for the guy who screwed them and can now go back to continue supporting him.

One thing people like Kaine don’t understand is that more than anything else, all voters despise weakness. They’ll sooner vote for someone that don’t agree with on policy if they at least think such a person is a fighter, because a fighter may end up fighting for you but a weakling is useless.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Angus King’s son is running for Governor of Maine so if he wins we can expect him to give half the state to Alabama because standing up to thugs never works.

Are any of the Dem senators who say they’ll vote “no” on caving in to the Republicans actually willing to deny unanimous consent and slow things to a crawl to give voters time to register their anger?

Replace every Senate Democrat with a Sicilian (not necessarily literally Sicilians, just people who think like wartime consiglieri—cunning and ruthless with an appetite for the kill).
We need a Tea Party of the Left.

I hope everyone who thought Manchin and Sinema were the only thing kneecapping Democratic legislative wins a few years ago realize that the problem is the whole caucus and Manchin and Sinema were just taking the heat for them.

It seemed as if Democrats were pushing the GOP to a breaking point where they would kill the filibuster and end the shutdown without Dem votes. Both would have been positives for the Democrats!
This is what's so aggravating — yes, it was not working in extracting a policy concession but it was working in *driving down trump's numbers and provoking GOP infighting* which is what's important if you take Dem rhetoric about the perils of MAGA remotely seriously.
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy
they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

Just to remind you this guy’s son is running for Governor in Maine next year. Full disclosure, a friend of mine is his primary opponent.

You’ll see just how “upset” Senate Democrats who voted “no” on caving to Republicans based on whether any of them openly call for replacing Schumer with new leadership.

Democrats pulled this weak caving because they figure voters will forget it by next fall and they might be right because until now voters had forgotten about them caving last spring.

I still think Trump’s power derives entirely from the sheer ineptitude of his opponents and the cravenness of his enablers, and Democrats are demonstrating the former right now.

If you’re inclined to send a single dollar to any Democratic Senate candidate, I advise refusing to do so until they topple Schumer.

Congratulations, Democrats, you just taught the Republicans that if they sneer at you and refuse to give an inch, you’ll just fold and give them what they want anyway.

Whatever is the opposite of a “wartime consiglieri”, that’s the Senate Democratic leadership right now. Completely folding right as Republicans are feeling the heat.
Primary every fucking one of them. It’s dangerous to leave any of them in office.

If Dems are going to cave on this shutdown then the only sane thing is to wipe out every weak-ass in the primaries next year. It’s only because they think they’re safe from their primary voters that they’d pull this weak shit.
Notice that Republicans live in constant fear of THEIR primary voters.

Unlike with most grossly unpopular lame ducks, Republicans are afraid to distance themselves from Trump and Trump has no interest in trying to help them survive re-election.
What a fun spot they put themselves in.

If liberals and Democrats don’t right now go to war with the mainstream media (denying them interviews, directly calling out their collaboration and bias in favor of the Trump regime, give access only to trusted independent media), they’ll be entering the next campaign cycle with a big disadvantage.
