There be thread in OT. WAPO Letter pleading with repubs. Says Mueller report might come soon.
I hope you ding dongs aren't going to have a go at Maddow for hyping something she didn't hype again.
Well, thats a wrong take. Maddow doesnt frequently do your hype 'bombshells'. Also comparing her to Beck...lmao.In general I'm down on shows like this because I used to be really into them during Dubya's terms, and then I realized the only difference between Beck's dumb whiteboards and Olbermann/Maddow's is that the latter were telling me things I wanted to hear. It's always "we've got a bombshell connection tonight that you aren't gonna believe." It's never what the shows claim it is.

Ah yes the reductive 'they're all trash'. Such a complex stance. I'd love to see all the times she has done it. I remember 2 or 3 off the top of my head where she got on the twitter to say watch for new news. I watch her usually, and it typically involves recapping the days events with context.I agree with that poster. They're all trash. She has done this too many times.

Like, your position is basically interesting historical events dont matter especially when they are brand new. That's not a winning position and you just look silly for thinking it.Why should I care about something someone who's dead did 40 years ago? It's not a bombshell about *anything*

Gaetz cannot control his attraction to AOC.
of course if it was any congressman infatuated like this it would be Gaetz.
Her show is the complete opposite of CNN prime time but she can go a bit too far in the other direction at times.Tonight's show was extremely overhyped, bu that's a ridiculous comparison. No other cable news host devotes so much time to *explaining* the news and historical context instead of chatting with talking heads. It's telling how notable it is when she misfires, because she rarely does.

You know ive seen more 'bombshell' and overhype talk from you guys after watching it than i did before. I know I wasn't expecting anything earth shattering, even after reading her little 'we got new news tonight' post.That's not what I mean at all. It's just not a bombshell in any way, shape or form.
Her show is in no way similar to Ed Schutlz's show (RIP, Ed). Like, I don't know what you expected? She said they were working on getting documents earlier in the week. Like, were people expecting pictures of Mueller's bulletin board?
Did I mention decency? She and Chris Hayes are the only actual *humans* in this disgusting ass lizard kingdom of cable news.
It happens any time she suggests she has something new. People act as if she's claiming she's got the evidence that will get Trump impeached no matter how mildly she promoted the show.You know ive seen more 'bombshell' and overhype talk from you guys after watching it than i did before.

To be honest, I kind of can't tell them apart. I refer to Chris Hayes as "male rachel maddow" when I talk with people about him.
She's wandered from Tucson to Buffalo to Florida to Los Angeles to New York City, from one cause to the next. It's all, her aides say, part of a bildungsroman that naturally culminates in a run for an office that's second in line to the mayor of the biggest city in America.
Konst came to POLITICO's office on Tuesday to discuss her background and her aspirations for the office of public advocate. POLITICO followed up with 19 fact-checking questions that same night. Citing debate preparations, she declined to answer those questions, some simple queries like what year she graduated from college, and how much of her life she spent in Tucson. The campaign ultimately declined to answer many of the questions.
"Given that this election is less than 4 days away, it is simply impossible to accommodate this request on this timeline," emailed campaign manager Dominique Shuminova on Thursday evening.
The Nomiki Konst story begins in Tucson, where she was born. She moved to Buffalo with her family when she was eight. Her mom was an Erie County legislator. Konst attended Nichols School, a private prep school in Buffalo.
Much of the rest of her life remains occluded by imprecision.
Konst says she attended the University of Arizona but declined to say if she graduated. Inquiries to the university were not returned.
She was also briefly an actor and says she was an Obama organizer. In news articles and television appearances over the past decade, she has been described using more than 30 different titles, from "former blogger" to "film industry activist" to "pro-Sanders journalist."
In 2012, she started showing up in Tucson papers as a candidate to succeed Gabby Giffords after a gunman shot the congresswoman.
"I really don't know any other home other than Tucson," Konst said at the time.
She failed to make the ballot. More recently she disputed that she really ran for the seat, both in the interview with POLITICO and at a debate among the candidates running for public advocate this week, where she was asked by another candidate how she could call herself an outsider candidate if she had run for Congress before.
"I was never on the ballot. I did not run," Konst said.
Konst frequently argues that the Public Advocate's office needs someone with her investigative skills.
Steven Weiss, a reporter and a former Wayne Barrett intern who worked with Konst on the Accountability Project, said he was impressed with Konst's work and her managerial skills.
"I do know that Wayne Barrett thought well of her, spent at least dozens of hours with or speaking to her, and recommended her to others he cared for and respected, as the manager of that process and organization," Weiss said.
"As to her claim of being an investigative journalist, specifically, and whether Wayne would agree with that characterization of her work, I've not seen or heard anything that would suggest that she was, or that he would."
As a reporter for The Young Turks, Konst sometimes interviewed politicians whose campaigns she publicly supported, or activists whose political positions she openly agreed with. But Konst sees no dissonance between her political activism and her journalism.
"Politico was founded by Republicans," Konst said. "The New York Times invented this in the late 1800s, invented this concept of non-partisan. And it was actually a PR stunt."
Let's take a break from primary discussion to shit on Nomiki Konst! Politico published a new article today which completely eviscerated the Debate Champ:
Surely this "former blogger" and "pro-[ANYONE] *air quotes* journalist *air quotes*" has important things to say!
She's on TYT, ergo she's a progressive. Don't disrespect her like that.
I'm finishing up the 3rd movie in the atlus shrugged trilogy and this is my first exposure to atlus shrugged and I can't believe people read the book and thought any of this was a good idea.
The ultimate irony was the movie failing at the box office, and relying on donations for sequel production.
I was dead serious. I get all my progressive news from TYT and Bernie Sanders's Dank Meme Chest.

There was an Armenian genocide, certainly not an 'armenian' one tbh.
Well, fair enough, but do you believe there wasn't one, since TYT certainly don't.
