I think this passage in the NY Times article was interesting

Yet the majority of ordinary Democrats in Virginia said Mr. Northam should remain in office, according to a Washington Post/Schar School poll a week later. And black Democrats were likelier than white ones to say Mr. Northam should remain.

I still think Northam should resign but the "woke" liberals on here running around like "ALL THREE SHOULD RESIGN RIGHT NOW, LET THE REPUBLICANS TAKE OVER, WHO CARES, WE DESERVE IT" who very blatantly had no skin in the game was fucking insufferable.

This is what I try to tell Bernie fans in the democratic nominee thread, but they still think Bernie is somehow going to win swing states if he gets the nomination lol

I don't really see the correlation between that article and his chances if he got the nomination tbh. Seems more like it's spelling doom on him in the primary.

Polls > conjecture.

Not conjecture, it's based on data. Including various polls. What's most important is that Bernie has a problem getting his followers to the voting booths, were it true that he had the numbers to outflank the other candidates and he'll have a rougher ride in round two.

What polls? He's not losing any of the 3 decisive rust belt states vs Trump (which is what the poster was arguing) and is virtually tied in Texas with Beto. The existing data we have - which isn't very accurate at this point, but it still better than unsubstantiated conjecture - contradicts the notion that Bernie will somehow struggle in the swing states.

Did you read the article? It addresses the polls and the specifics of what they found. This is about the primaries, not Trump.

Did you even read the post I was replying to? He was talking about a hypothetical scenario where Bernie gets the nom but would struggle in the swing states for some reason because of what that articles saying.

I think this is the important part - I'm sure black Virginians look at their neighbor states, think of the alternative, and will let Northam live with his racist past.

Congresswomen Lowey just asked how Barr could have read Muller's 300 page report and drafted a letter in 48 hours. Perhaps Barr is shady but........300 pages isn't that much to read.

shadow_shogun · Apr 9, 2019

@NatashaBertrand
Asked how he could have read/digested/summarized 400 pages in 48 hours, Barr says "the thinking of the special counsel was not a mystery to the people of DOJ prior to his submission of the report. He and his people had been interacting with the DAG in his supervision of the SCO."

In my experience that depends upon typeface size and whether analysis is required, or it's just straight reading to digest the information.

Barr shuts the door on Nita Lowey when she asks if the WH has seen or been briefed on Mueller report. "Im not going to say anything more about it."

3-400 pages of this material... on top of coming up with legal rules and analysis as well as coming to conclusions... I find it hard to believe he read it all personally. Maybe a staff read sections and summarized it and presented it to him. But then to make conclusions that quickly? Seems shady as hell.

I meant Lowey bluntly asking Barr whether the WH has seen the report, and Barr clamming up all of a sudden.

Agreed.

It can't be said enough that while the behavior of people like Northam isn't good, people have to take a step back and realize he still isn't even remotely close to being as bad as Trump. I do not like how Northam handled himself but given what's going on with the line of succession in the state there's no easy way out.

Ideally Northam should appoint someone else but I'm not sure how their laws work and if it would trigger another election?

I think they're waiting for the right moment to pounce and call Mueller himself to testify, which may be even better than the report itself.

That will happen before the full report comes out, but the full report will come out eventually. It's too important and too many powerful people are demanding it

I think it will come out eventually. But probably the Trump admin will drag it thorugh the courts until after next election when hopefully it won't matter because Trump lost in a landslide.

Replying to @kyledcheney
BARR says it would be against the law for members of Congress to reveal grand jury information. He also claims some Dems are being hypocritcal:

"Many of the members who are calling for the release of the report were basically castigating Ken Starr."

Q: Do you know why members of Mueller team are frustrated?

God just watching a few minutes of this Barr testimony makes me want to throw up. This guy doesn't give two fucks about right from wrong or transparency. He is drunk with power and will never release anything that would damage his boss which in return would cause him lose his power.

Whichever democrat wins in 2020 I just hope we can return to normal after this Trump run. Hopefully the Attorney General under the next President will not act like the president's personal attorney and their cabinet members will actually be knowledgeable in their field and not just some dumb as a rock rich white asshole who stroked the ego of the President.

He was scrambling. For sure. One second it's a hard no then he can't recall or didn't think so then back to a no and he kinda almost says yes in between all of that word salad. He's shady.

I think we can return to some normalcy within the presidency itself, but we need to fight like hell to keep it that way. Especially since the media is going to sorely miss the daily trainwreck that is the Trump presidency and the ratings associated with that, and his crazy ass fan base who loves every minute of this.

Democrat @McCreadyForNC raised $1.6 MILLION in Q1 in his bid for #NC09

I think we're going to win this one.
