What does the contempt of court vote mean? Also how is it that trump and his group can just stiff arm every actual attempt to hold them accountable?
It's always fun trying to defend the lofty goal of making strides in defeating a near undefeatable disease because it came from the wrong person. Politics is stressful
Well, I guess you ain't voting because no one's going to say that word in the primary or the general. Also, consider the electorate MO Democrats have to work with.Any democrat not willing to call republican fascist is not a anyone I will vote for
Your state has a weak Democratic party because the Democrats are outnumbered. Your shitty neighbors are the problem.Any democrat not willing to call republican fascist is not a anyone I will vote for
Honestly, the democrats in Missouri have just been so toothless and spineless, it makes cynical about the future of Missouri
I genuinely want out of this state ASAP. There's so much spinelessness I can take before I want to leave for a state that'll treat me like a real human and not a second rate citizen because Im not fucking abled bodied and abled minded.
The democrats in Missouri are mostly powerless. Them not being able to do anything because Missouri sucks doesn't make them spineless.Any democrat not willing to call republican fascist is not a anyone I will vote for

According to sources, Emmer specifically took issue with three members of GOP leadership, all of whom are reportedly mulling Senate bids: House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), House Republican Conference Vice Chair Mark Walker (R-N.C.) and Republican Policy Committee Chairman Gary Palmer (R-Ala.).
During the meeting, tensions arose between Emmer and Walker over the NRCC opting not to provide funding for Walker's legal expenses after he voiced interest in launching a primary challenge against Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) during the next election cycle, according to two sources.
The legal fees pertain to an indictment that mentions the North Carolina Republican. Though unnamed in the filing, Walker was identified by Politico, using Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, as "Public Official A" in a case concerning the state GOP chairman's indictment on bribery charges in April. Walker has been adamant that there was no wrongdoing on his part and that he is not a target in the investigation. The Club for Growth, a conservative political action group that has courted Walker to run against Tillis, has repeatedly come out in his defense.
One source with knowledge of Tuesday's conversation told The Hill that Walker "proactively said he was not going to pay his dues because the NRCC reneged on a deal to cover $50,000 in legal bills after he made it known that he was considering a primary against a sitting Republican senator."
"He felt the NRCC didn't do what they said they were going to do," a source in the room told The Hill.
Another person with knowledge of the discussion said Emmer's "kind of anger" was directed more so "toward two members who haven't paid up, which are Liz Cheney and Gary Palmer," adding some lawmakers have voiced concerns their potential bids for the upper chamber could be interfering with their dedication to the NRCC.
"There were other members of leadership [other than Walker] that were challenged about their commitments to NRCC and pushed back pretty aggressively," one source in the meeting told The Hill.
Also, keep in mind that Biden's shortcomings (loose lips, foot-in-mouth) are also Trump's weaknesses.
Might hurt in the primary, but in the general it doesn't really matter.

Did Biden really say "Let's make America AMERICA again" today?
Jesus... That's awful.
It was the same thing with Hillary. Once you hate someone, everything they say sounds ridiculous and awful.I mean, maybe it's my Arts degree background, but I know what he means by that. It's riffing off the whole "This is not what America is" thing. Which, okay, there's a good argument to say that this is what America is, but Joe's not going to go down that route, given his target demographics.

I think Biden's massage will work for the majority of fetish voters.
Civility gets me respectfully hot.I think Biden's massage will work for the majority of fetish voters.
The only part of his message that's working for leftish voters is him saying that he'll beat trump, which is silly since the last thing that caused the 2016 loss was hillary being too focused on her leftish base.I think Biden's message will work for the majority of leftish voters.
They don't care. They just literally want you to only go on MSNBC, CNN, or something.West is the kind of guy who will talk to literally anyone because Jesus said love your enemies.
He's been on Tucker's show multiple times. Why is this surprising?
Well, something's causing his numbers to drop. It might be somewhat linked to that part of his message.Nothing Biden is saying is going to play poorly to the Democratic base outside of the Twitter bubble.
Charlie Baker (R) has a +64 favorability rating among Democrats in blue-ass Massachusetts.
I'm not saying they're right at all to want Biden or cooperation with figurative (and quite possibly literally) Satan but the notion that the base will revolt against Biden for saying "let's work with Republicans" is nonsense.
I didn't know "not associating with literal Nazis" was an exacting standard to meet.They don't care. They just literally want you to only go on MSNBC, CNN, or something.
So long as he doesn't agree with them on those views, I'm not going to cancel someone.I didn't know "not associating with literal Nazis" was an exacting standard to meet.
"Trump tells the truth no matter how rough or expletive filled it is!"
The only two reasons to voluntarily be around Nazis are (1) you're dumping a milkshake on them or (2) you agree with them.So long as he doesn't agree with them on those views, I'm not going to cancel someone.
So has Glenn Greenwald. So has Michael Tracey.
He goes on this stuff because he's a shithead like them.
The fact that you even had to say this is insane. What a fucking trash take by Kid. Sometimes I'm so grateful for your snarkSo we're actually at the point where objecting to someone sharing a table with Milo and Gavin "Proud Boy in Chief" McInnes - you know, actual fascists - on an alt-right program, thereby going on their turf and legitimizing them, means you're just an imperialist shitlib who can't handle criticism of Obama.
This is the same reason why Pete, and Bernie had town halls there. You think they can't change minds. I disagree and so do they. I'm sure Cornell West disagrees too. I'm not going to act like they're going to make a majority change their stances. Come on, I'm not that naive. That's not the point. They already have a large audience and appearing or rather not appearing on there isn't going to somehow change that.The only two reasons to voluntarily be around Nazis are (1) you're dumping a milkshake on them or (2) you agree with them.
Just sitting around shooting the shit with them legitimizes them, implies you find their company tolerable. Haven't we spent the last three years saying not to give them a platform or share one with them? Why does Cornel West get to be special Sally who can associate with Nazis yet not get rebuked for it? He's not going to change their minds, he's not going to make them look bad to the people inclined to like them, and if it's about ~~~free speech~~~ or ~~~The Discourse~~~, congratulations, you've just furthered their goal of using and deliberately misunderstanding that principle to launder their hateful ideas into the mainstream.
Mariana Williams's time to shineIs there any likelihood that we'll see a Fiorina style bump from a relatively unknown candidate during the debates?
Man, the Fiorina and Ben Carson bumps were whack. I don't know, maybe Booker can solidify 6th place with a good performance, or Gillibrand gets a very mini bump, but it's probably going to be tough with so many candidates over two days.Is there any likelihood that we'll see a Fiorina style bump from a relatively unknown candidate during the debates?
There's a huge different between going on Fox and making the case their policies versus basically making Tucker Carlson's point that the "left" (Read: Liberals) are too damn PC and want to take away your free speech.You don't think it's a good idea to do that for the reason you stated. I stand by the idea that I won't cancel somebody over appearing on there so long as they don't share the same hateful views of them. Calling them a shitbird over it sounds like you guys more or less are done with those particular people, rather than you just disagreeing with their single action(s).
I wouldn't say no, but I doubt it. I don't think there's anybody that unknown that isn't also a complete joke.Is there any likelihood that we'll see a Fiorina style bump from a relatively unknown candidate during the debates?
