Dave McCormick: "When people say there's not that many illegal immigrants that vote, I say, it doesn't take many to change the course of history. We recently had a guy, Mahady Sacko, he's a registered Democrat, he's an illegal immigrant, he's voted in all of the Presidential elections."

Dave McCormick: "Iran is a country that said they want to destroy the Great Satan, America."

The reason Jeffries is visibly taking this so personally, by the way, is less about particular policies (though there are certainly differences) and more that Mamdani and the DSA are fucking with the existing NYC Democratic machine. That said machine is a rusted out hulk is neither here nor there

SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett has 2 Black Haitian kids who she adopted. Today she ruled to expel 700K Haitians who were here legally. Proximity to white supremacy is not protection from white supremacy. And proximity to Black and brown people is not exemption from being a fascist and racist.

Excellent idea. Maybe the NYT can divert one of the dozen reporters on its Ohio Rural Diner beat to look into this?

Brother the reason they were elected is you haven't solved the problems. Some might even say you've contributed to them

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

Um, you very OPENLY oppose the billionaire tax, Gavin. Has our pressure made you see the light? Or is this another of your ploys?

The October 2024 cover of The Economist:

You can make far more money being a conservative hack at these right-wing university centers than you can doing actual teaching and research as a faculty member. Moreover, there are actually jobs for right-wing bizarros in higher ed but no jobs for credible scholars.

Hakeem Jeffries on losing to Zohran Mamdani in New York: "I have no idea what Elissa Slotkin was talking about. What happens in a handful of primaries in one of the bluest cities in the country is not in any way indicative of what needs to happen in November."

You all know that there are two primary reasons why retirement plans are tied to the stock market, right? First, those funds backstop the market during a crash and justify a govt bailout. Second, it’s to give you a stake in capitalism. They want you to defend capitalism to protect your 401K.

vance is basically nixon if nixon were a dipshit and not a genuinely impressive guy

Tom Homan: "Uhlook I mean this is what Sultamajoritydissent din't talk about right, Trump - he's deporting record numbers of people as he promised, but resawful - they're not escaping fear and pershecution because of pillical affiliation - 9 out of 10 asylum seekers are fraudulent claims."

“The mayor and I agree to strongly disagree about some of his endorsements,” Jeffries said after all three of Mamdani's endorsements won in NYC. “He’s got work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward,” Jeffries said of Mamdani.

Temu Obama 3rd-way Corporate hack

hakeem the corporate slug is the problem. the whole corporate slimeballs at dnc are the problem.

Get lost. You're done, Jeffries.

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.

I was a supporter of President Obama from the beginning but cozying up to the GOP after his huge win and not jailing the banker crooks who caused the Great Recession is a big reason why there’s so much (deserved) anger at Democrats

They defend only their privilege.

Again, “moderate” is just code for “smiling enabler of EVERY right wing evil, pretending to be the ‘good guys’ while only really concerned with a need to save dying white privilege that is so obsessive that it even trumps any desire to save their OWN KIDS from genocide & climate chaos.” Eat 💩.

My only comment on Emmer’s latest racism is that there‘s a local through line almost 3 decades old, when KQRS ratings kingpin Tom Barnard told immigrants to “assimilate or get the hell out.“ (In Barnard’s case it was the Hmong.) Barnard paved the way for Emmer & his ilk. archive.is/xpk1v

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Would a guy who owes his political career to billionaires, dark money and $2k plus a plate fundraising dinners really want to end citizens United? Sure he could campaign on it but is there really anything a President could do considering the make up of congress and SCOTUS?

"Right wingers are worried that economic populism appeals to the masses during the Gilded Age 2.0" FTFY.

Oh, he's so close to getting it.

How I wish I wasn't living through the fall of the American empire.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.

I swear to fucking God. If Democratic primary voters are as gullible and ignorant on pretty much everything to nominate that obvious Wall Street plant Mayo Pete they deserve anything and everything Trump, the GOP and the authors of project 2025 are trying to do.

Emmer is a Trump butt-kisser. All you need to know to conclude he is a corrupt, lying, sack of shit, racist, prick.

Emmer is a sick, disgusting, vile racist, in addition to every other horrible thing a person can be.

"Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion." - Ben Franklin on Emmers' German ancestors

This man will go down in history as one of the biggest obsequious Trump Toadies. This is total bullshit.

She's already in her place -- she's asking you these questions because she's the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. It's her job! There's even a little nameplate in front of her that spells it out for you. Ask one of your aides to help you sound out the words, Markwayne.

Trump thinks South America is a country.

The founders, in the Treaty of Tripoli -- begun under Washington, signed by Adams, ratified by a Senate filled with other crafters of the Constitution -- said "the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Tom Emmer is a dumb-as-dirt bigot.

Get fucked, Skeletor.

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

He was always like this. While Clinton was undeniably charismatic, his first victory was due in large part to Perot being a spoiler. Everyone then took the centrist track as gospel and pursued the triangulation strategy.

They're scared. They know Mamdani could easily be the beginning of a massive movement and response to lopsided, outrageous corruption, greed, and abuse we've been enduring under Republicans and corporate Dems.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

We did it! No more text messages!

This man will go down in history as one of the biggest obsequious Trump Toadies. This is total bullshit.

These are the actions of an authoritarian regime, where their agents come to intimidate you if you share public information about how they have killed American citizens

Trump is actually out here whining that a "radical left lunatic" who loves Hillary and Biden ruined a pool that is "like a piece of glass." Imagine being so utterly broken by your past political rivals that you think a fountain issue is a DNC operative hit job. Seek help!

Fetterman claimed that to be contemptuous of Israel is to be “anti-American.” Fetterman is now a Republican lackey. Being against the slaughter in Gaza has nothing to do with being antisemitic or anti-American and everything to do with having humanity. Fetterman betrayed his party and all Dems.
