Wouldn't that just be continuing the same "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" mentality that caused all of the other candidates to endorse her opponent in the first place?
Teeeeeeechnically we've always been exporting oil, but facts be damned. One of those lovely "if they'd had an editor with half a brain they would have taken 2 seconds to correct it" things, not that it matters.
Yea, I mean I do think she will likely endorse Bernie. Just looking for reasons why she possibly wouldn't.
I don't think so
Bernie supported the most progressive candidate. Gillibrand and others who are trying to retrofit themselves as super progressives apparently continually don't do that if the person who is isn't the party favorite
If you are her who do you trust to actually do what they are saying they plan on doing if they actually become POTUS? Bernie who puts his money where his mouth is in trying to change the direction of the party to be better suited to achieve those goals or the ones who have so recently and convieniently evolved and agree with what's new and cool?
Classic.
"Democrats need to stop just running against Trump and talking about bathrooms, and focus on important issues like healthcare and infrastructure!"
I think we're gonna need government workers to revolt to get out of this in a timely manner.
We literally just need one old white guy to stop his bullshit. And we have two to choose from.
I regret saying timely. We're well past that. We need the revolt to get out of this before we start seeing needless deaths.
I know people in the IRS Austin office. They said it was a ghost town in there. Entire teams claiming hardship. I retract my earlier post about this not putting pressure on people. It's going to get pretty ugly.
What I hear, even if they all showed up might not help anything. Cuz you're not bringing back people in every department just the front line telephone if your tax return is flawless you probably get your refund if it's not there's no one to verify at a check it so you're probably not getting it back until the IRS opens again.
Beautiful, every single IRS employee should do this. Fuck Trump, he knows how bad it'll be for him if tax refunds aren't processed. IRS employees should not allow him to use them so he can keep the government shut down longer.
Edit: I also expect Republicans to "fix" this "loophole" in the contract promptly.

US Crude Oil exports have been at a huge surplus since 2012-13. Where is this assclown getting this stupid fake news from.
*Looks at tweet*
Looks like Fox News's favorite white supremacist.
Ain't it the tongue-clicking, kikiing, queer eye for the dumb straight guy motherfucking truth.
Overwhelmingly white, male industry identifies with and seeks to rationalize the actions of the party of straight white men, portrays the party of women and minorities as shrill and unreasonable.
The shock.
Yeah I heard Brokaw was both sidesing the shut down today and while I was supremely disappointed I ended up being ".....that's about what I usually expect"
As with most things in this presidency, what did he expect? People are supposed to spend $70 round trip per day to drive into work from Virginia, process tens of millions of returns under a new format shorthanded, and then keep this up for the next 9 weeks with no projected end in sight while bills pile up and their savings dwindle?
For a wall 1500 miles away that won't be built until their kids are in college?
Beat your rep in smash ask a question they don't get to review beforehand.
Anderson Cooper asked a Democrat today that since the republicans were in charge of two thirds of government shouldn't the democrats give them two thirds of what they want.
Called it. Did I not say they'd start pulling the same thing the TSA did if there seemed to be no end to the shutdown?
Yeah I was gonna say but I didn't even know how to respond.
If I was an IRS employee and I was told to come in for tax season but not get paid for it, and the only reason I'm being called in to work without pay is so the President can avoid signing a bill for me to work with pay just because he doesn't like the Speaker of the House and doesn't want her getting any credit for funding the Treasury and IRS...
My answer would absolutely be just fuck all the way off with that.

I already said fuck their voters too. They get no empathy from me.
I see we have another evening where PoliERA has devolved into creepy AOC infatuations.
He did come off pretty well. Though I'm trying to imagine Sherrod Brown giving a State of the Union Address. Not sure I could handle over a hour of his gravelly voice.
Re: Biden
Please no. We need a page turning candidate, not someone with more baggage than Delta and one foot in the grave. Biden has had a good career, but we don't need him to beat Trump. As those polls showed that someone posted earlier, a Democrat inanimate carbon rod could beat Trump in 2020. It's just a matter of the margins and how it affects the Senate map.

Biden running would get nasty, the ads write themselves. What will affect everything is how Obama views his run, if he's angry the rivals like Beto (if he appears) or Kamala will take the gloves off, but if not it'll fall to candidates like Bernie to shake him up. That's a fight Bernie would be able to deal some damage, and with a familiar opponent.
AOC has yet to open a district office, falsely blamed the shutdown.
I know we're not supposed to care because she's leading A Movement and Trump and the GOP lie more frequently and more severely, but the dishonesty and the neglect of the district are not the best looks. I believe you should remember whom you serve, and for her, that's the people of NY-14. Running off to build a national profile sounds like how you get your ass primaried back home if you don't do it carefully and tend to your constituents.
She just straight up... lied about something easily disproved. Brindisi, Rose, and Delgado got their offices up and running just fine.

Yeesh. It's not *that* big a deal but between this and the paperwork kerfuffle she had a while back it's a bad look. You're absolutely right in your assessment
This is what did in Crowley. He wasn't building a national profile, what he was doing was building a power base in Washington to become the next Speaker, he was next in line behind Pelosi.
I mean.. My point wasn't that I'm right. But in order to believe that this is Rudy's strat requires us to completely disregard sources saying the opposite. And it's not always as easy as just firing people. Trump has been talking about firing various people for months and even over a year without following through.
We are absolutely supposed to care and call shit out. It's the only way we get better.
Edit: sorry for double
im gonna just remind people here that this is a real head of a guy who was elected to do things
