When are we getting a Spicecast
So fucked up. What is so bad about cameras in a press briefing...
If there's one senator I'm glad we have it's Heitkamp. I'm willing to overlook some of her annoying plays to the center to be like "holy shit we have a D senator from North Dakota in 2017."
Yes, Kennedy has a massive name recognition in the state. I would say second only to Barack Obama's when he was still a Congressman. I think the most recent polling a month ago had Kennedy with a massive lead over every other contender including JB Pritzker.
Yeah, I realize the ones I mentioned aren't much better.
Don't a lot of jobs have waiting periods of up to 90 days before benefits kick in, so even if you were lucky enough to go directly from one job to another, you could risk being blocked from getting insurance if you didn't pay for COBRA or whatever during the gap?
I'd argue it's been like that for, well, years, but the nature of what they have to defend is pushing them to new levels of ridiculousness.
This. People need to stop giving any benefit of the doubt to any politician willingly associated with the republican party. They are all fucking monsters, every single one. I don't know what else it will take for that message to be drilled into the heads of people on the left. Especially democratic politicians. It's like most of them live in some alternate reality where there are plenty of good republicans wanting to do the right thing, and bipartisan opportunities abound if only we try a bit harder, or give the republicans a bit more space.
Fuck comity and being politically correct with colleagues who are evil pieces of shit. It's that attitude that has a lot of people frustrated with the party; this compulsive need to remain amicable with the opposition and cling to every norm as if it still means anything. Start telling it like it is. Go full blast demonizing the Republicans because you have the fact that they are actually demons on your side. Attempt to mobilize the massive numbers of apathetic non-voters who republicans fuck over on a daily basis, rather than chasing the middle/upper class suburban NIMBY white voters who will always vote for republican tax cuts anyway.
Yeah I understand for someone in the business it's different, but it's a hard bridge to sell me as an observer that no, these guys are alright, honest!
spicer is actually a mole to undermine the Trump administration, nice
It certainly feels that way. Build the narrative that everyone was colluding, so the actual meaning of the word is gone and it is now redefined for media purposes.
What kills me is no one really thinks any of this is a good idea. The only way they've been able to sell this is by spreading blatant lies and misinformation.
