Jake Sherman’s job for the last two decades has been doing PR for whoever is the House GOP leader

Could it be possible that Klein and Schumer arrived at the same conclusion independently? Nope apparently Schumer is so hapless he can only do good when the NYT tells him to

You know, in hindsight it shouldn't have surprised me that Trump would eventually end up shouting "DO SOMETHING" at Chuck Schumer just like every other terminally online moron does, but it did

The irony of "I'm concerned but I have to trust that he means well" as an orientation toward finding an opponent for Susan Collins

Fuck You

I don’t really remember corporations doing this, no. It was mostly just conservatives and influencers running scams and having mental breakdowns in Targets

As a northerner, it’s so awesome to see that after decades of convincing non-southerners they aren’t backwards anymore plus we got good football doesn’t this look fun!?! so out of state students would subsidize their in-state tuition they’ve decided to blow that all up for no reason

Thinking about this again and how multiple ppl here say they voted for Trump for his business prowess. I think Dems have msged that pretty hard and even convicted him for fraud. Maybe ppl aren’t just empty vessels that will believe whatever thing they hear the most!

ok so AI is like 30% of the way to NBC but like 80% of the way to Adult Swim

I refuse to believe you’re too stupid to get the point he’s making but just in case: he’s saying that Republicans have won despite supporting some very unpopular policies so supporting unpopular policies alone doesn’t doom you to lose

Who says I want economic populism? Economic populism sucks ass!

now here's a good take goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/a-mantra-f...

“If you REALLY don’t want them to shoot the hostage why don’t you just pay the ransom?” - Jake Tapper

Fourth choices can be awesome though!

Every time this site devolves into “if only Harris had done X she would have won” I need everyone to do this quiz and remind themselves of how unpredictable the average voter is www.americansurveycenter.org/quiz/

This isn’t defending Sliwa but I think it’s giving him *way* too much credit. The company building this (which would have been the 2nd or 3rd largest BESS in the U.S.) had never done anything even close. They probably just couldn’t get the financing for this

I for one salute everyone attempting to convince Billy Pencils of polycausality right now, a task with approximately the same reward level & chance of success as negotiating with a labradoodle that has heard the word “outside” even though it was part of the sentence “it is negative thirty outside”

Forget it Jake. It’s Gendertown

I think I’m generally pretty optimistic but all the people thinking that swing and GOP voters will finally and permanently turn on the GOP if things get bad enough just doesn’t seem likely at all

Certainly hope this works out but there’s not much reason to believe it will! Lot of people are going to get hurt in the process either way though

If I were in charge of the DNC (which also isn’t “the Democratic Party”) I wouldn’t commit a bunch of federal crimes

Oh hey look what’s on his hat

Holy shit I cannot believe people are falling for this

GPS loves to route you off an interstate highway to “save” you 15 minutes only to get stuck behind a truck on a one lane road

Democratic lawmakers should carry around pictures of the east wing rubble lol

Wrong rock

I will become the joker if the only number here that matters is gasoline -0.5% lol

Not the main point but this dude ever talk about anything besides his time in the military?

I guess if you turned 15 in 2016 this is plausible

This leaves out my favorite part which is that between the Muslim Brotherhood Visit thumbnail and the Cocaine Discovered thumbnail there’s one for Melania’s tennis pavilion

Oh great another round of gambling discourse where people pretend sports gambling was invented in 2018

I know everyone loves to be annoyingly puritanical about gambling now, because they are dweebs, but the prevalence of gambling sites where large irregular wagers are easily flagged with names and bank routing numbers is not increasing illegal gambling schemes, it’s increasing arrests

Yeah right lol. If a democrat said “your mom lol” to a reporter that’s all we’d ever hear about. They’d break into football games to tell us it happened

Soon to be hungry children: don’t worry I’ve been told by people on the internet this is just called touching the stove and it’s good actually

Wtf man

It's genuinely wild that people looked at a movement that hollowed out an entire party's ability to make policy, & made it ripe for a takeover by a grifter who's now destroying the country for his own enrichment, & enthusiastically said "yeah we should do THAT!"

Today I learned people think Teach for America is bad? What?

The obvious stuff aside who says we want a working class party in the first place?

Bro who gives a shit

Trump saying Platner is being treated unfairly by the woke left tomorrow is gonna be awesome

First indication I’ve seen that this guy has people around him that know what they are doing is that he went to Dave Weigel to explain how his Nazi tattoo is leftist actually

1) that’s frankly an impressive amount to spend in Syracuse 2) what’s the child poverty rate in Syracuse have to do with anything? Would it be less bad to do this in a city with less child poverty?

A really fundamental thing a lot of people seem to forget or don’t care about is that the standards for public officials needs to be higher than that of regular people. The guy wants to be one of the 0.00038% of American adults that’s a Senator. It’s good to be incredibly discerning about this!

Oh cool we are doing “erm actually the swastika means good luck according to Buddhists” but leftistly

I think many marines have this tattoo because they are Nazis but also very few marines should be senators

this would piss me off so much if I was the brain surgeon www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Having a tattoo of any kind should preclude you from being a senator imo

This is perfect lol

also low character to get half naked at your brother’s wedding reception but that’s a discussion for another day
