Maddow is trash. She could literally tell me that the sky is blue and water wet to which Iād shrug.
I just saw a coalition against Nancy Pelosiās socialized medicine commercial. What in the actual fuck?
She doesnāt do it for you, huh?
Thatās boring. wtf is your incredulity about? bless your heart. @ corvette
Apparently a local Wisconsin spice company is outapending Steyer on impeachment advertising on Facebook. Gjge Steyer.

An interesting look back on Turkey, Erdogan, and Trumpās model for his economic strategy, from an August 2018 episode of The Daily on the economic cost of authoritarianism.

This is very true. That he constantly gets away with crimes by just doing them in public is the most tilting part.

That is the weird part. They keep attacking the whistleblower like they are relevant. The whistleblower could vanish tomorrow and it would not change the evidence at all.

I guess this could go in any number of threads, but I consider it yet another strategic failing of the Democrats that nothing was done in the House about what weāre doing to the Kurds. They should have passed a resolution within 24 hours of him announcing the decision to condemn it and call upon him to reverse course, or even passed a narrow declaration of war to protect the Kurds or a congressional-executive treaty requiring us to defend the Kurds from Turkish aggression.
Best case scenario: it leads to some sort of action that protects the Kurds.
Worst case scenario: it puts Senate Republicans to a tough vote where they have to either go firmly on the record crossing Trump or turn their backs on an ally, and it drives a wedge through the party one way or another.

They should condemn Turkey, but for some reason our government is so afraid of Turkey that they can barely recognize when they killed 1.5 million Armenians.

Thatās at a bare minimum, but thatās kind of like pointing at a fire and yelling āFire!ā when youāre a cop and thereās a huge unattended fire hose next to you and the arsonist is running away. They have better tools than just calling out Turkey, and they should be using the strongest ones, and theyāre doing nothing. Pick up the hose and turn it on, chase down the arsonist, call it in to dispatch, ANYTHING!
Iām just so fucking sick of eDems and Republicans expressing the urgency of problems and their deep concern over them while standing on the sidelines twiddling their thumbs.
She is the M Knight Shamalan of politics. She is amazing if you arenāt aware of her sleight but once you I knew her schtick the connections she makes are much less trustworthy. MSNBC in general is total trash. They are owned by NBC Comcast (LDO) and never take any position contrary to their interest. They are the American version of RT. When has RT ever ran one story slightly critical of Russia? Maybe you could find one if you reallllly tried, but its aside of the point if there have only been 2 stories lifetime for the network.
Thom Hartmann used to broadcast on RT and criticized Putin/Russia all the time. Yes āused toā, but I think he left and he said they never complained about content.
I like Rachel, but thereās a ton of stuff that she just doesnāt talk about. Her Overton window is tiny.
