You can't keep the baby gates up forever. When my sister turned 13, she just started jumping over them.
NEW * Season of Weakness "President Trump, whose paramount concern long has been showing strength, has entered the most challenging stretch of his term, weakened on virtually every front & in danger of being forced from office."
He had people like Fiona Hill, Bolton (lol but yea) and Yovanovich around him telling him no to his crazy ploys. They aren't working with him anymore along with a slew of other people leftover from the Obama administration. He has an insane turnover rate and now there are no competent people left at the WH.
YOU NEED TO PICK ONE
Fiona Hill and Yovanovich were very competent people. Bolton yeah that's a sketchy one but he at least knew the law and when to bounce out when things got hella illegal.
Honestly Pete is worse than both considering he's WELL AWARE of what people want and that progressive legislation is badly needed, but knows he can't compete in that lane with Warren and Sanders and instead is running as a young Biden alternative.Biden and Klobuchar are really trying to outdo each other on who can be the more annoying centrist in this primary.
Yes, his father Joe served in the US House for years and lost to Gary Peters in 2008. He's the one to whom Tlaib donated. Marty's never gotten above the state legislature.when I did a search for that name I found Marty Knoellenberg who... yeah. But his father was the one who served in congress in 06.
jesus christ.I can understand someone doing some stupid shit in 2006. I kinda did. People can change.
But the donation to Wadud last year? This is a quote from a Wadud facebook post.
"For instance, there was no need for America to go to war against Hitler. Hitler was not the enemy of America or the American people. There was a mutual animosity between Hitler and the Jews. So, the American people paid a very heavy price for fighting someone else's war."
Like, wow.

Article from August 2018, the same month Tlaib donated.I googled Wadud and just got a bunch of glowing articles about her as a progressive challenging the establishment.
Was this widely known back then?
I'm in MA, though nowhere near that district (it's Western MA) and it wasn't ever brought up in any of the local articles I saw. All I knew was she is a Muslim POC and was gonna get spanked (and did) in Western MA.I googled Wadud and just got a bunch of glowing articles about her as a progressive challenging the establishment.

Yep. She squeaked a 1% victory last year and actually lost the special election to complete Conyers's term. She's always been the most vulnerable of the four.Tlaib's district is 56.5% black, she's lost an election previously in the district, and she's expected to have a challenger. Would not be surprised if the squad is down to 3 next year.
Same, but controversy like this + the district being majority-black could mean that she gets primaried next year....always thought it was weird as hell that the voters split between the special and general
I wonder how many people saw her name and thought she was black. I thought she was till she got elected.Tlaib's district is 56.5% black, she's lost an election previously in the district, and she's expected to have a challenger. Would not be surprised if the squad is down to 3 next year.
A poll shows U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who frequently appears in the news, and is a member of the group known as "the squad," leading Detroit Council President Brenda Jones in a hypothetical re-election race in 2020, 56% to 19%, according the MIRS news service in Lansing.
I mean, Tootsie probably would've led primary challengers in her district at a certain point.
Have there been any polls of her v. Kai?I mean, Tootsie probably would've led primary challengers in her district at a certain point.
Fiona Hill was appointed and continued to serve a corrupt administration even with the knowledge that crimes were being committed.
Lol, everybody knows when Amy looks at you you look down at the ground.Pretty sure if someone looked Amy straight in her eyes, they'll receive a stapler in theirs.
The leaf can at least cause a rash.
One of the more concerning numbers for Gabbard is that 50% of Democratic primary voters said they would prefer to vote for someone else in the upcoming CD2 election.
The people who were trying to make the best out of a terrible situation who didn't really have the clout to stand up and do something about it shouldn't be punished for it.Fiona Hill was appointed and continued to serve a corrupt administration even with the knowledge that crimes were being committed.
She is not the bastion of competence you paint her as, even if she knows stuff about European and Russian affairs and once had a moral compass.
The Tlaib thing?The timing of this with the endorsement of Sanders is....... :chefs kiss:
(I'm sure Rose Twitter will call it a plot within the next 2-4 hours)
ThanksI think there was one poll out of PPP:
Scroll up. This is like literally minutes old but is probably gonna become a thing.
Nor should they be coddled or rewarded for it.The people who were trying to make the best out of a terrible situation who didn't really have the clout to stand up and do something about it shouldn't be punished for it.
