Well yes, this is the actual American Terrorist Tradition. I just can't see thegreatwaloo thinking this is terrorism.

New York City has hated him for years. Did he ever draw a supportive crowd there? He will still draw a crowd in Florida.

Fair enough.

The next set of bills seem to be the Voting Rights bills and the big infrastructure bills. I'm sure they are going to put a third in there as well. They want to put Sinema, Manchin, and the other Dems who are hesitant about changing the filibuster under a lot of pressure.

Yes it does. April 19. It's the Murrah Building bombing. It's the Branch Dividian raid in Waco It's the Covenant Siege it's the Boston Marathon Bombing. (And, of course, all tied to the mythos of The Battles of Lexington and Concord (1775)) If your argument is that there hasn't been that...

I think that specific kind of speech - some empathy, some reassurance, here's the plan - is right in Biden's sweet spot. He's good at that. He isn't a sweeping orator to lift up a crowd, or a witty debater, or any of that shit. But he's strong at "look, this is what we're doing, we get it"...

Rebuilding a party is hard. Paying Trump off so you don't have to go through a civil war makes a certain amount of sense. He fucked over their governing majority, sure. But he got them the tax cut and the judges; their rhetoric and grievance politics work better in the minority anyway; and if...

If you know US tradition, the obvious choice for an attack is April 19 - Patriots Day.

The lack of urgency in how Trudeau has approached vaccine roll out overall has been frustrating. I hope he is pitching Biden on getting the excess for the sake of the border but I doubt we are first in line. Trudeau should be copying Biden's approach of Federal backstop and coordination. I get...

I'm for music, but don't put your whole collection on shuffle because who knows what might come up. :) I'd let her pick a playlist if she's thought about it (unless I'm planning a specific mood.)

I thought this was well known?

I think it is "assassination" or "finally stop covering for his senility" to let the Evil Jezebel Kamala take over.

Congress has always had a healthy sprinkling of complete wackaloons. They just usually weren't front and center.

I don't think he's calling one for spring.

Because he is fundamentally an asshole.

You're the one crying about a plastic potato when nothing even happened to it.

So no one who is actually a Democrat? Clinton's never running again but Clinton and Obama were the last two presidents and had 8 year runs and have huge infrastructure. There is almost no one who is in the Democratic party who doesn't have some kind of connection to them except the people who...

It was a brilliant marketing ploy. They didn't do anything other than get rid of the "Mr" in the toy line itself. Mr and Mrs potatohead still exist, any other little potatoheads or whatever. No one would ever notice. But they knew that the Right Wing Outrage Siren would sound off and suddenly...

Every candidate they have put against Trump has gotten more votes than him. There is no "Strong presidential candidate" because for a bunch of people the very fact they are a Democrat means they are a bad candidate. What would you even consider a "strong presidential candidate" to look like?

It is still Trump's to lose. DeSantis is probably the most obvious candidate who isn't a Trump, but 4 years is a long time. If someone is smart they start going after the Trumps now. Not from the Romney or Cheney direction, but just from the "be an even bigger asshole" direction. Go after Eric...
