Nah the way to bait that is inferring that the victims preferred the other 'guests' over him.

Yeah, this is sore feelings over primary challenges, and a bit of local politics:
https://www.nydailynews.com/news/po...0190712-wgbfh35akrf7bmakyuqugzltha-story.html
"Rep. Greg Meeks warned fellow Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to back off on her racially tinged feud with Democratic leaders — or face a battle for her own political life.
"If they want to come after members of the Black Caucus, it's two ways," Meeks, who is also the Queens Democratic party boss, told The Hill.
The AOC-allied Justice Democrats announced it would target 10-term black Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) for a 2020 primary challenge.
The insurgent group has also made noises about taking on Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-Brooklyn), a member of the Democratic leadership team, and the unpopular Yvette Clarke (D-Brooklyn), who barely squeaked by a little known challenger in the same 2018 primaries that saw AOC stun longtime Rep. Joe Crowley in Queens.
The group is also backing a primary challenge to Eliot Engel (D-Bronx), a longtime moderate whose district is majority minority.
Meeks could also be a target after he backed establishment favorite Melinda Katz over leftist Tiffany Caban in the still-undecided Queens district attorney race.
"(They) seem to be targeting members of the Congressional Black Caucus, individuals who have stood and fought to make sure that African Americans are included and part of this process," added Meeks, whose Jamaica-based district abuts AOC's."

This guy is the fucking worst and I'm so glad he hasn't caught on at all nationally. We're stuck with him forever here in MA unfortunately.

btw by contrast Obama only made two replacements in his Cabinet during his first term, and one was replacing Robert Gates, a holdover from the Bush administration. The other was Gary Locke, his Secretary of Commerce.
He did have a mostly new team during his second term, but even then only replaced his Secretary of Defense (Chuck Hagel) in 2015.
Amazingly Tom Vilsack stayed on for the full eight years.
Also amazing how the utter inanity of the Trump administration is just going to keep making Obama look more and more competent and qualified by comparison. I think he will absolutely be the new Reagan, in the sense that many of the current generation will remember him as "the last good one"

Who the hell does Weaver even think is talking about these things? Honestly, Weaver is just throwing out not even a thinly veiled misogynistic attack against the two primary challengers both holding Sanders down in the polling.
Apparently Mueller requested the delay.
Mueller wants to testify in front of Congress about as bad as Pelosi wants to start an impeachment inquiry.
I said this yesterday when I saw FOX take a swing at him. He was a dead man walking.
I hope Dem members treat him as a hostile witness and the Mueller Report itself as just a parcel of a completely unfinished investigation that is full of holes that Congress deserves to know.
I'm worried they'll just suck him off and raise him to the level of Republican Jesus and fail to really grill him for answers and info.
Also 4 hours is a joke. If Hilldawg can go 11 hours for some bullshit, Mueller can devote at least that much (way more) considering the level of crimes and the people committing them we're talking about here. This shit is literally global. Trump himself is merely just one player of so so so many.
yeah the "journalism works" thing is a bit odd because they don't need to tour them to fix them, they need to tour them to make propaganda to combat the journalism.
You think Pence is going to talk to detainees and not just BCP?
Maybe if we're really lucky though we'll get a video of another guard "owning the libs" by drinking out of a toilet.
This stuff is all gonna end up in The American concentration camp museum some day.
"Some really interesting stuff in that article. Yet Mr. Sanders's campaign faces a conundrum in how to run against Ms. Warren. Though aides grumble that she has claimed some of Mr. Sanders's long-held, anti-big business stances, they all but rule out the prospect of aggressively confronting someone their candidate considers a personal friend."
Yeah i dont expect Bernie to ever go after Warren. It would also be pointless.
"However, even Mr. Sanders's aides acknowledge that they would like to see him talk more about his post-World War II childhood in Brooklyn"
I wonder if he would gain support if he talked more about his personal life and attacked biden. We'll see what happens on that second debate.
Pete is the only person in that pic that doesn't look like they're taking an painful shitexcuse me, excuse me
I'm not up on the details, but I've seen a few twitter journos mention that blocking staff from testifying would be reneging on terms of their agreement they came to a while back (think subpoenas and holding Barr in contempt)

NEW: President Trump has told confidants he's eager to remove Dan Coats as director of national intelligence, according to five sources who have discussed the matter directly with the president. https://www.axios.com/donald-trump-remove-dan-coats-director-of-national-intelligence-2ba4275d-7624-4f4b-9026-ee0d0606ce32.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100 …
Coats has rankled Trump more than once with his public comments:
• When he appeared to criticize Trump's relationship with Putin
• When he told a Senate panel that North Korea was unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons, contradicting Trump https://www.axios.com/donald-trump-remove-dan-coats-director-of-national-intelligence-2ba4275d-7624-4f4b-9026-ee0d0606ce32.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100 …

So it's about half.
Remembering fondly the days when Ryan, Pence and Priebus were supposedly a power trio that wanted to force Trump out so they could take over. Thooose were the days.
It's already begun!
This is from the court filings in 2016 when that woman claimed that Trump and Epstien raped her when she was 14.
Fucking YIKES!
Or, what about the Democratic candidates make their pitch to the general public and not tear down fellow candidates in the meantime?
They had a falling out.It's already begun!

What's funny is that is exactly what the presidential election is. People want to feel like they know the candidate on a personal level.
Basically...
"I could have a beer with George Bush!"
"Clinton is mighty fine on that sax!"
"Kennedy sure is pretty!"
I have to say I'm not a fan of this tweet
It's one thing to attack Pelosi for abdicating responsibility to hold Trump accountable, or for letting the administration have their way. It's another to accuse the dem House of not doing anything to pass bills that help people. Because doing so actually hurts voter propects of the Democratic party.
It's also not true because the dems in the House have actually passed bills that would help people in the short or long run. Part of the issue is the media isn't covering them because Trump controversies are overshadowing everything, and now dem infighting.
Also there are bill the dem house wants to pass but blue dogs are stopping from passing.

Another blind item, this one is pretty easy. I'll put it in spoilers so only people who want to read it see it, but I'm like 99% sure it's Tootsie.
His criticism is actually less about passing bills and more about dems failing to make the bills they've passed something people know about and can get excited about. If the strategy is to focus on kitchen table issues, what does it say about the kitchen table strategy if voters can't name anything dems have done for their kitchen table issues? If the conclusion is that the scandals make it too difficult to execute your kitchen table strategy, then the kitchen table strategy was a mistake -- or at least, hasn't been executed well.
Jesus. Wasnt really prepared to read that. Honestly the part not circled is worse than the top part.It's already begun!

Issue is getting the press to write about bills they know will never pass the Senate in a million years when there's actual stuff happening every day that affects people's lives. No one is going to spend money or column space on a bill that will never be a thing.
The funny part of all this is I remember a year or so ago when these same types were saying there was too much of a focus on Trump and not enough on these kinds of issues.
Good riddance Acosta, full confidence means you're much fired and that press conference was not Brett enough to justify his job and standing
Pat Pizzella is an old Reagan/Bush toad who used to work with Jack Abramoff, He'll probably get Scott Walker for the job
Firing Coats would be cause massive problems in the intel community
Firing Ross would be hilarious
