Maddow had a democrat on her show who said hes trying to pass a law that freezes the statute of limitations while the president is in office to prevent running the clock out, so i dont think that tweet about it being on hold is correct.
I think he is. Way too many state crimes and he's insulted the intelligence community to no end I think they'll follow through on federal crimes to the maximum extent which I hope bankrupts all trump business.
It is. It's the next evolution of the Obama internet movement.
Normally I'd agree but man he sure is pissing off a lot of powerful people.
Beto only invited Jontron on his Iowa bus tour the one time
So Beto is going full Will Conway? Doesn't really appeal to me, as others have noted, but it's smart in terms of controlling the narrative and eating Trump's media time. He doesn't have to wait for rallies and interviews to give standard media outlets a soundbite or a video clip.
They dont run on policy becauss it doesnt work. They understand the game they're playing. As someone said on The 100, "The problem is people."
Can't wait to have a PiP "Beto Cam" for all of 2020 on every channel
If we elected people based on well researched policy proposals Hillary would've eclipsed Obama 08 numbers. But we don't. That's why I'm all for Beto, dude clearly understands how to cultivate a cult of personality around himself and that's what we need to bring out our voters.
The cult of personality thing can be used for both good and evil.
I'm generally against such a thing, but it's clear that the American people will only turn out in significant numbers for someone with a cult of personality, so...
End justifies the means I suppose.

It's like how all the funny people in late night shows are the writers
I do like Beto a lot right now. He's not hostile to the left flank and appears willing to listen to them while also being popular with moderates. He doesn't seem to piss anyone off very much, has a pretty good policy agenda, and seems malleable to pressure from the left.
He also seems to be the best shot at eating away at Trump's media advantage and, I think, the most likely to win right now.

Anecdotal of course, but some of the conservatives i've seen that usually argue in bad faith completely dropped all pretenses of this being a witch hunt and have admitted that they just don't care if he worked with Russia because "it was worth seeing the liberal meltdowns when he won".
I don't know why Rand is even bothering, the charade is over, american's know what happened and now its just a matter of how many of them care that the president is a traitor.

Basically. The "I did it and it was awesome" phase of this is going to land before Valentine's Day, I feel.
Everybody likes it when Beto livestreams but Mark Zuckerberg eats Earth toast and visits a hu-mon truck stop and no one gives him any praise. We are going to throw away the greatest candidate of all time just like that.
So, what are the odds that John Kelly is being replaced by one of Trump's own kids? I have a suspicion that'd be a nice cushy job for Kush.
I was going to post a ridiculous picture of Tiffany, but that would mean I'd have to save it to my phone, and I'm not ready to make that sacrifice.

random aside:
someone on my tumblr feed just shared a meta-analysis of income inequality studies ostensibly covering 1979-present (specifically, findings on real median incomes, the top 10%'s share of income growth, and the top 1%'s share) done by Stephen Rose for the Urban Institute, in which he throws shade at methodological issues in Piketty and Saez (2003)'s famously-cited study
...immediately before half his conclusions rely on studies with starting points 10 years after the rest of the analysis

What Chuck Todd is doing is deliberate. He knows there is no Democratic equivalent which is why he couldn't be arsed to cite a single example. He is 100% a Republican propagandist at this point. Ignore him and all NBC Politics output.
