Bout to give Congress Trumps state tax returns which would include some info from his fed returns.

I wonder if they got wind of the NYT story and punted until they knew what was in it. (answer: not what they were looking for.)
NY's AG and WA and CA's state governments have really driven home the purpose of federalism to me this past three years.
Shit, we should just ignore the feds entirely if the GOP wants to rig the government.

He would just shut the whole government down, I imagine. The House can't just "withhold" their salaries, can they?
General rule to keep in mind with Nate Silver is to listen to him when he's talking about numbers and completely disregard his punditry, because it sucks.
He's talking about statistics. He says "most", which acknowledges there are black voters who identify as more progressive. Analysing voting preferences of demographics is part of his job. I don't get your problem with that tweet.
What on earth is disgraceful about noting the unique characteristics of the demographic relative to other parts of the Dem's coalition?
Obama ran to Clinton's right in 2008! We've literally seen someone do what he's describing.
He literally campaigned on Hillary keeping the status quo of Washington politics and being to closely attached to lobbyists and Wall St.
This week on "let's ask the wife of serial harassers how we should handle the harassment he espoused as she distorts the truth and determines it's her place to give a timeline on when the harassed should get over it"
Fuck offffffffffff
And bashed NAFTA and said his healthcare plan wouldn't include a mandate.
That's not running to her left. That's a generic outsider populist argument. He ran to her right on healthcare. He ran to her right on trade. (NAFTA!)
This is ACTUALLY disgusting coming barely two weeks after Anita Hill went public and said Joe Biden reached out to her, what he offered was not an apology, and she did not forgive him.
Pathetic. All of them.
I hope by some miracle Biden gets wrecked in the primaries and then they realize they're not popular anymore and there's a reason he keeps losing primaries.
I mean, this is true. There's a reason why Biden has 40-50% support among African American's and it's not just because he was Obama's VP.
The American Left is overwhelmingly white. That's a simple statement of fact. Doesn't mean that they're wrong, but it's true.
Trump losing the most money of anyone in America for multiple years has me laughing so hard I'm in tears. He literally is the biggest loser.
I was looking for it but missed it.
Also I couldn't choose the right caption for this pic between "what a thread on era would look like with more lax moderation" and "reason #101 I'm not on twitter"
Oh no, I didn't realize that. Used to watch his consumer advocate show all the time.
He also has a gaming connection because he was on the Super Mario Bros show (yes the one you can Netflix).
"excuse you cunty"I was looking for it but missed it.

Wowee.
I'm glad I never got into Twitter.
A) I don't think Black voters (right now) are favoring Biden or Harris for reasons that have to do with policy. Or at least not mostly policy.
But its also true that Black Democrats are, on average, more moderate than White Democrats for reasons that I think should be obvious - Conservative and Moderate Whites are mostly in the GOP
B) I'm not sure why Jill Biden thought it was a good idea to talk about Anita Hill. Putting aside that she's wrong, it had kind of fallen out of the public discourse. It would assuredly enter again but for right now it was gone and just from a politics point of view (to say nothing of moral) it seems dumb to bring it back.

To be fair Biden would not be 4 more years of Trump
Trump is like nothing we have ever seen in the white house.
I dont like Biden much either but lets not get crazy here
Oh agreed
Throw that guy in the pile of trash with the rest of them
Joe Biden is the one Democrat who could make Bernie look good on race.
Good lord Joe
The fuck? How about the more accurate fact that Public school funding has been hijacked and robbed by bad policy and tax evasion all across the country
Hurting poor areas the most regardless of race/minorities (but they always get hit first and the hardest)
We are surely going to find out if the people really want a presidential election with the two major candidates having mindsets that are both stuck in 1987.
I'm pretty sure it really is that he was Obama's VP and that decade-long association is hard to break because many, many people don't vote ideologically.
And it's more white than the democratic party because it's an ideological slice that cuts through demographics pretty evenly leaving them proportional (and thus majority white.) It's why Bernie's voter numbers are now pretty much the same with all races (at around 17-18%) when in 2016 he was tying Hillary with white voters 50/50 while only getting 25% of black voters.
The Democratic Party is more heavily minority than the nation as a whole, and it's because of the racialized nature of class, politics, etc. here in the US. Black voters aren't magically more liberal than nonwhite voters, it's that those voters understand the impact of racism and what's at the heart of the GOP. You get moderate to conservative on econ and/or social issues more heavily in the black/Hispanic voters who probably be Is or members of the conservative party in a alternate colorblind universe, but since we're in this one, they go with the party that doesn't have a white supremacist leading it. On the flip side, this reduces the amount of "moderate" white voters that join up to the party.
And btw, everyone should follow Matt Grossman on twitter, he posts all sorts of cool data stuff.
WHAT DECADE IS IT
Dude is still stuck in the segregation era.
Apparently it's from 2007 but it's honestly just as YIKES considering Obama was the candidate back then.
Also from the thread:
AND OBAMA CHOSE HIM AS VP
