Only because he successfully pulled a Cuomo, winning the general as an independent after he lost the Democratic primary for the Senate seat. He was officially unaffiliated for that term but still acted as a Democrat in most ways.

Remember that the original version of ACA had a public option and Joe Lieberman refused to be vote 60 unless that part was struck from the bill. It’s been sabotaged by Senate Democrats from the jump.

Either he organized it from behind the scenes (which looks likely because every single caver is either already retiring or not up for primary in the upcoming mid-term cycle) or he lost control of his caucus. Either way he should no longer be leading.

Because the “first past 50% wins all” electoral system we use doesn’t really allow more than two parties to exist over a long enough timeline. If you’re not represented by those two parties you either have to usurp an existing party from within or defeat a party so thoroughly that they dissolve.

It’s not, but I could easily see them finally giving us the fabled 6-1 game.

Her chosen successor lost his primary (and House seat) to AOC, this is why Pelosi has held a gigantic grudge against her ever since.

It’s telling how this story morphed from “he won’t disavow this completely different person who said it” to “how can you possibly trust someone who says such things” in plain sight.

The funny part is that the internet has shrunk so much over the past 10 years that that may not be viable anymore. What’s the point if everything is on just 6 websites now?

I’m pretty sure that was attempted between his terms and the justice system basically shrugged and let him get away with everything.

Yeah, this is that show. I’m pretty sure Richards was genuinely pissed because he has a reputation for getting annoyed and upset at people whenever they screw up a take.

There was a short time in the 80s when he became Iran’s representative in the UN just to have diplomatic immunity.

Same, honestly. Don’t have them often but when I do they really hit the spot.

I guarantee that guy has said “nobody wants to work anymore” on a weekly basis for the past five years while doing as much as possible to drive away every employee of talent that stumbled through his doors.

He posted an AI generated video of himself wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet, bombing protesters with literal streams of shit.

Maybe, more like they’re expecting the Ravens to get most of their starters back after the bye next week, which is also when the Ravens schedule turns pillowy soft for a good long while.

I’m gonna buck the trend and say Doctor Mordrid, the main character from what was supposed to be an early-90’s Doctor Strange movie, but it spent long enough in development hell that the rights lapsed so they had to genericize the whole thing. It was then unceremoniously dumped to direct-to-video.
