No one gives a damn about CNN town halls. What got Pete in the news was his fight with Pence. Very smart on Pete's end.

A job's a job, there are only that many of those position and those people want to get paid. And it's not like running a failed campaign poorly is gonna make you unhireable in the future.
I'm sure they're getting paid pretty nice penny though, working for free is for plebs, errr, I meant go volunteer in a campaign, do your civic duty!
Hey look at that
Almost like the emoluments clause exists for a reason.
Town Halls have shown they work pretty well to get media exposure and are also good opportunities for fundraising. Most candidates see fundraising spikes after them. We just have to see if Beto can create a viral moment at his like Pete did against Pence.
Mixed support among black leaders

Who's going to enforce it, tho?
We know at least one Senator who will vote enthusiastically for war.
Rhymes with Zee Leldin.
Nobody.
It's time to admit the President is basically immune to oversight.
Glad he's establishing all this precedent though! Redirecting congressional funds at will, ignoring subpoenas and having the DoJ just investigate his enemies for the lols.
Beyond this, I would argue that almost every black leader who supported the crime bill also expected further addressing of problems in black neighborhoods that led to crime, like attention to funding gaps in schools and more support of community centers, and of course, that didn't happen at all.
Lmao
I fucking wish
Comrade Kamala will lead the worker revolution
He's causing kids to die in ICE and DHS custody on a pretty frequent basis and is still separating kids and parents defying court orders. Hard to feel pissed off about what he gets away with anymore
Even Tulsi fucking Gabbard would be an upgrade over this shitstain, and that's saying a lot.
Good.
Maybe he is signaling to soldiers that it will be OK to commit war crimes for the Iran war.
Oh ffs here we go again ascribing long term motives for what is actually a very simple and short term impulse. He's doing it because the war criminals team has gone on Fox News repeatedly and lobbied him directly knowing that they had an audience of one watching regularly and he finally agreed to do it because he gets off on the power trip that the Presidential Pardon gives him because it's the one power he has that he can unilaterally do without immediately running into a wall of resistance whether in Congress or in the Courts. He's also a vile human being who openly talked about being "going after the families" and other "tough on terrorists" shit on the campaign trail before he was even elected. That's why he's doing it. It has nothing to do with some Iran War scaremongering.
This alone will make the holidays ten times better. Really aiming at the younger generations here
Roy Cooper has a 56-29 approval spread.
I think he'll be reelected fairly easily and help the Senate and presidential nominees.
My brother is six years younger than me and uses this 🤢
And I hope Deutsche Bank can be prosecuted over here and have it ripple back to Trump in the US...somehow.
Wow it's almost like people are nuanced and boiling down to "pro-this person" "anti-this person" is reductive and dumb
Anything Jill Stein supporter Gray says, does or tweets is best written off.
How did the Biden speech go? I'm seeing surprising little about it, and I live here. About 10 minutes away from where it was.
Usually it would have been the type of thing I went to just to say I went, but...I was cooking brisket.

He said "folks" 37 times in a 30-minute speech. That's more than one "folks" per minute.
Somehow I've never seen this logic applied to people who support Bernie Sanders.
Watching Biden's speech from yesterday. His promise to work with republicans to make progress towards "civil liberties, civil rights, voting rights, a woman's right to choose, national security, social security, health care and a climate change policy" is an incredibly bold claim.
Outside of national security, how in the hell does he expect to get republicans on board with any of those causes? And even if he did, what kind of watered down nothing policies would those actually look like?
EDIT: Oh I guess he invalidates the Working with Republicans thing in the next sentence. So I'm assuming he doesn't mean anything by working across the aisle or creating unity?

I have to imagine that sort of talk is meant to placate voters who pine for the old days and he actually doesn't mean it, because the alternative explanation is way too depressing. Nobody's that deluded, right?
I mean, how is anything going to get done for everyone without the Senate? It's not a Biden-unique thing lol.
I think without Mitch, there's plenty of room on climate change, infrastructure, and even health care to work with Republicans. Gonna need them no matter what!
More likely his usual caddie called in sick and couldn't arrange his usual cheating antics. Everything I've heard about Trump's golf game (and god damn do I wish we lived in a timeline where I didn't have Donald fucking Trump golf factoids rattling around in my head) is that he's awful at it.
Everyone in senate should not try and be President. We need every seat. That leaves us with Biden.
Personally, I think people should stop concern trolling about senate seats during a Trump year where the top of the ticket matters most.

Yeah but really who the fuck went to watch Amy klobuchar's event? Just why would anyone do that?
Welllll....
If anyone actually believes it it'd probably be Biden considering the Obama administration's strategy involved a lot of policy meant to entice republican congressmen to vote for it.
Honestly the Republicans are a completely lost cause. Things got worse since the Obama administration and I don't see them caving on anything. If you want to get laws passed you need to take back the Senate.
