Like I said before, a Kennedy would probably be following the same polling trajectory as Biden is now.

The real problem is that Democrats NEVER FUCKING LEARN that Republicans aren't their friends.
"They promised though!"
The federal government wouldn't have the authority to manage local homeless populations. Vagrancy is not a federal crime. Vagrancy could not *be* a federal crime due to the 10th Amendment. Nor are any of the other typical laws used to roust the homeless federal laws. The only things I could think of would be sweeping ICE through or sweeping the DEA through (much more likely to catch something in a given homeless settlement with that), but even that wouldn't have the authority to do more than arrest people breaking federal laws.
What executive order would let him do this? I get the admin loves to flout laws but this would be inventing a whole arm of federal law enforcement whole-cloth.

The problem is Trump doesn't care about the laws. He will do it anyway via EO and by the time civil groups file lawsuit, he will have caused enough damage. Then if the case gets assigned to a dipshit judge who will side with Trump, a counter lawsuit will follow and some sane judge will strike it down. Then they hope it goes to Supreme Court where Trump's Supreme Court justices will side with him and Roberts will side with Democrats ending in 5-4 ruling.
Kinda dramatic but that's how cynically I feel about the state of politics today in US.
Honestly speaking though, if there's one commemoration you will expect Republicans to hold sacred beyond politics, it is 9/11. It checks off their neocon ass-tingle, speak in generalized terms about terrorists, and have good photo ops for their base. I don't fault Dems on this tbh.
Man, you've gotta imagine that the Warren Campaign is gonna try and angle hard for a primary endorsement from Carter. How funny would that be. She voted for Ford, but Carter wants her anyway.
Im trying to figure out how in 2019 "Kennedy" has such a cachet with MA despite the sheer length of time that's passed since the 60s and how there's probably more GOP Kennedy's running around than Dem ones.
His bosses musta allowed him to squeal more like it.
Remember: he gave up the farm on Individual-1 and his time working for him as fixer/bagman, but was apparently very tight-lipped to SDNY at the same time (which you aint supposed to do if you plea).
Im taking everything that isnt DONE but merely TALKED ABOUT as a way to convince the grunting rubes he's "doing something like a bigly winning man does" and scare the non-RW newsmedia, and generally throw shit in the fans.
It's falling apart, but all this is doing that trick to get us to not notice it's not just one bolt falling out, it's a succession.
But yah, there is somethings they're doing, like stealing from military families and blocking refugees, but there's a difference between "what they say" and "what they're doing".
edit: if im reading this right, LOLOLOLOLOL
"2. One tidbit that stuck out: Parscale is not allowing the RNC to share critical info about President Trump's standing with state parties and down ballot candidates because it might embarrass the president. This ends up hurting down ballot candidates."

Would a Kennedy be electable in Georgia or one of the Carolina states?
Actually, the only time Trump ever showed human decency was during the one GOP debate when Cruz tried to hit him on New York values or whatever, and Trump managed to turn it into a thing about 9/11. He's a total sack of shit with zero human empathy, but he managed to play decent in that one moment.
To answer the question in the tweet: They do, but McConnell is smart enough to shut his mouth and never answer. He just stoically walks past them.
They don't report:
"McConnell dodges questions about XYZ yet again"
I dunno. Maybe just keep on trucking.
I want to see Selzer lady put out another Iowa poll. It's probably her most likely early state win. The shitty caucus structure also means that when Booty and Harris are non viable their caucus goers can be shouted into joining the Warren section.
I think Biden's support is soft, but can rebound.
I think Bernie's support is hard, but capped.
So right now I would still think it will be Biden or Warren.
There was also that time he seemed like the most compassionate person on the stage because Rubio and Cruz were attacking him for saying he wouldn't let people die on the street.
To me, this actually sounds like a good reason to not hand it to him. Lol he didn't do shit
"Please proceed, Mr. president."
Well, they do on twitter.
Prefacing this with the fact that he is basically the worst person on the planet and has almost zero redeeming qualities, but I think it is important in this context that Trump is a New Yorker, even if the city has nothing but disdain for him. The Republican hypocrisy in which they claim 9/11 while shitting on New Yorkers left and right for being liberal, queer, etc. is utterly disgusting and probably the single most craven thing about them, and I'm glad in that moment Trump called it out for what it was.
So like, fuck Trump, but if there was .00001% good in him, it came out there.
Prepping for immigration roundups under the guise of "collecting the homeless" sounds like a thing Trump would absolutely totally 100% do.
To this day it's the only thing I've ever complimented him on saying the way he did.
GOP house reps are retiring at a rate like they expect to stay the minority there.
Senate will be harder. We're probably gaining in it but might get stuck at 48 or 49 seats
As in huge House gains, significant governor wins, losses in the Senate? Currently it's looking like Democrats will hold the House and flip a few governorships (New Hampshire, Vermont seem like the easiest targets. Maybe West Virginia given how hated Justice is/how Manchin has considered running for governor?). Senate is currently a toss-up reliant on flipping every seat currently considered a toss-up/Lean D (Arizona, Colorado, Maine) while holding on to Doug Jones' also currently rated as a toss-up seat, assuming Democrats win the presidency and thus will have a 50/50 + Vice split. They're doing well in special elections in terms of performance when factoring in partisan leanings but it's way too early to say if we'll see another blue wave when the election is over a year away and no one knows who will be leading the ticket for the Democrats. At the very least another seat opened up in Georgia so there's another potential chance for a seat to flip (although it's likely that if one seat flips parties, both Senate seats in Georgia will do that instead of splitting it between the two major parties).
I actually complete forgot about this and it was pretty awesome watching that smackdown at the time. As horrific as he was during the primary, he still seemed 10x more coherent than he does now.
He wants to run for president. That's why he's building progressive cred. Not sure all of this is being attributed to him in the media though.
I'm never voting for Newsom in a presidential primary lmao
Biden or Warren are going lose next year's GE and then we'll be stuck with that fucking greasebag in 2024
Shame Jerry brown is somehow too old for this year's primary, he wouldbe been a better alternative than Biden for the people who want a moderate, steady hand.

Have you seen Joe? Just a name's enough.
I'll be here all week, goodnight everyone!
Call me cynical, but I wouldn't even give him that .00001% of good. He used 9/11 and his status as a New Yorker as a tool for political points in that moment, nothing more. He's used 9/11 before to puff up his ego (lying about being a first responder or clearing rubble, bragging about his building being the tallest again, lying about donations) or just to make himself the center of attention (claiming he could see bodies falling from the towers from his apartment four miles away...).
Same shit, different day, no matter the significance. He lies about everything to make himself important. At best it was a broken clock moment.
Um what a fucking queen
Leftists go sit in a hole and cry
Also that hair
That dress
Wow. She looks younger and more vibrant than autodidact which is basically age 0.

I don't know why Israel needs to spy on US when GOP basically is their government's lobbyist arm.
Insurance since they know Trump/the GOP are just dumb tools for the ends of the rich. That kind of intel could help you manipulate more efficiently as well.
Is this a case of "not learning" or being complicit in the act of pretending not to learn and then feigning surprise once Lucy pulls the football away from them for the umpteenth time? Because I'm more inclined to believe that it's the latter. I can only swallow so much purported naïveté before I question whether this is simply them acting out their intended role in a mutually beneficial dance.
Plan O'Clock!
