Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

I showered with Rahm and all I got was this shitty blog.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The revolution will be supervised.

Good luck with your asparagus.

This blog will pay for itself.

Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Just a few bad apples.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

This is a big f—–g deal.

What fresh hell is this?

Not all heroes wear capes.

    Maybe Kamala is the sleeper candidate (as opposed to the sleeper cell candidate), who will draw more attention closer to the primaries? My first choice is Elizabeth Warren; my second choice is Kamala Harris.

    Whatever Harris does from 2021 on: presidency, vice presidency, attorney general, California senator, we are so lucky to have her.

    Thank you Anne Laurie for doing like Sens Harris and Warren and getting important information out past the noise!

    I love them both and would be much happier to campaign for either of them than for Biden (sorry Uncle Joe!). Part of why I love them is how they are running such excellent campaigns and not getting baited by the current crop of Penns and Halperins and Cilizzas and other people who should be retired or working minimum wage jobs at best.

Why would being in Wisconsin and Michigan a few more times turn the tide there?

    Netanyahu vows to annex large parts of occupied West Bank

    This will end badly.

    Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he will annex large swathes of the occupied Palestinian territories if he is re-elected, a decision that for decades has been considered an endgame scenario for Palestinians’ aspirations of statehood.

    The Israeli prime minister said on Tuesday that he planned to make the move, which would permanently seize up to one-third of the West Bank, after next week’s election and hinted it may have been approved by Washington.

    “I am waiting to do this in maximum coordination with [Donald] Trump,” he said in a speech broadcast live on Israeli television.

    — The theft of Democratic analytics. The Mueller indictment also revealed, for the first time, that the Russian hackers were able in September 2016 to break into a cloud-based system hosting data for the Democratic National Committee and thus gain access to the party’s “analytics” — i.e., the critical data that campaign strategists use to determine whether to target ads, ramp up get-out-the-vote or registration drives and send the candidate (or, in the infamous case of Clinton and Wisconsin, where to not send the candidate.)

    @Baud: One thing I don’t understand about the obsession over Wisconsin is the fact that recent history is being ignored. Scott Walker won three state wide elections. Ron Johnson won twice against Russ Feingold, and I am pretty sure Feingold campaigned in Wisconsin in 2016. Also a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and civil unions won easily. I have only lived here for 26 years, but I have no reason to believe Wisconsin should have the reputation it has. Trump won campaigning on racism
    It may well work again.

She’s not super politically tuned in but is growing increasingly pissed off at every bit of tRump’s corruption she actually hears about (thanks, MSM, for fucking that up!). She came in pissed off yesterday over the Scotland stuff, and then I showed her Adam’s post about the high level spy we exfiltrated.

    Top Republican Official Says Trump Won Wisconsin Because of Voter ID Law: The law blocked thousands of Wisconsinites from voting in 2016, predominantly in Democratic-leaning areas.

    Yes retail politics works, but what’s even more effective is having control of state legislatures so these toxic voter ID laws aren’t implemented. Or having an effective Supreme Court so this doesn’t happen. People, still, going on about X candidate not visiting some place enough is just bullshit. She didn’t carry the Dakotas: why aren’t people harping about that? Idaho? Move the fuck on. She ain’t running, this isn’t 2016. It isn’t worth the energy to keep going back over these points.

    So how long before the MSM starts with the ‘she’s TOO prepared’ bullshit when describing Harris? She has years of experience and it should count FOR her. But instead everyone is obsessing over imagery and likeability again. Also, I challenge anyone who says her campaign isn’t being run well. By what measure? She’s getting enormous crowds (seemed to be the ONLY qualification Wilmer had in 2016) and is in the top three consistently as first or second choice in polls. She started out polling in double digits AND she doesn’t have nearly the name recognition that Warren or Biden have. So how is that a badly run campaign?

    At the second debate, she had a chance to solidify the bounce she got from the first. Instead she came off completely flatfooted against attacks on her prosecutorial record that she had to know were coming at some point.

    It gave the unmistakable impression that she’s much better at throwing punches than taking them. Her momentary rise as the “fighter” candidate who could stick it to Trump was shattered when she showed a glass jaw against a Z-list competitor. And her temporary bounce fell flat and hasn’t budged since.

    @Kent: My response would be that Finegold spent the entire campaign in WI (for Senate) and lost too, so that wouldn’t have been enough.

    I never thought that anyone’s vote would have been changed that late n the campaign by just showing up a few places, but YMMV.

    It’s easy to second guess after the fact. I grant you that. I would have thought Florida was going to be the swing state in 2016.

    Still, I do have the sense that the Clinton campaign was overconfident and trying to run up the popular vote numbers late in the campaign. Of course without Comey who knows. Likewise without the Bengazi nonsense which led to the so-called fake email scandal that the press obsessed with, who knows. If we had had a responsible press core Trump would not even have won the nomination.

    All that matters to me at this point is who can crush Trump in 2020. I’m feeling good about our chances with either Warren or Harris. Biden scares me becuase I don’t have the sense he has the energy for the sort of house to house combat we are going to see in 2020 when Trump decides to set the entire country on fire in his reeelection campaign.

    No votes will be cast until next year, and several early States will have a significant impact on the others down the line…

    I’m still betting on Harris, and 2020 is going to be hard fought and hard won.

    Based on how the race has gone so far, and where I think we’ll end up next Spring, I would not be at all surprised to see two of the candidates joining together to reach 50% of committed delegates in late May/early June, to prevent a brokered convention.

    The senator and former California attorney general plans to legalize marijuana, eliminate the death penalty for federal crimes, end federal mandatory minimum sentencing, scrap the cash-bail system, reduce the incarceration of juveniles, stop the use of private prisons and clear the nationwide rape kit backlog during her first term.

    OT: he “missed him”, that creepy sentimentality toward people he’s humiliated and tossed aside

    WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump began losing confidence in national security adviser John Bolton, whom he fired on Tuesday, he reached out to the man he had fired to give Bolton the job: retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster.
    In phone calls to McMaster — the first of which took place last fall — Trump told his second national security adviser that he missed him, according to two people familiar with the conversations. It’s a sentiment the president has also expressed to White House aides, they said. Trump has solicited McMaster’s advice on various national security challenges, even asking McMaster whom he should nominate to lead the Pentagon, they said.
    … At that time, Trump was barely speaking to McMaster and regularly did derogatory impressions of him in his absence, according to current and former White House officials.
    Like Bolton, McMaster’s firing was also hasty and announced publicly by the president on Twitter.

    wasn’t there also some degree of vindictiveness in McMaster’s firing? The timing meant he would never get a fourth star? Doc Silverman, you out there?

    @Kay: I think we’ll get a slice of them even if we don’t try. One thing that sort of hamstrung Clinton was running for the third term of a Democratic presidency. PBO saved the economy from collapse and had it back to “normal” and on the upswing, but people with shitty, unstable, low-paying jobs don’t want to hear about how great the economy is.

    We mock “economic anxiety” around here a lot, and rightly so. It was and still is used as an excuse for racist shitheads — but it is also real for many people. Clinton had plans to help folks in that situation, and Trump was selling obvious lies with a heaping helping of racism, sexism and xenophobia, so I’m not excusing anyone who fell for it.

    But running against Trump opens up all kinds of opportunities to talk about economic inequality and how Trump’s so-called great economy sucks for millions of people and the “great healthcare” he promised never materialized, etc. He has a record now, and it sucks if you’re not a hardcore racist and/or plutocrat.

    in my experience, women are much more likely to have to deal with the realities of modern day life that don’t fit into the WWC model of man-as-breadwinner, women, even if they work, take care of the house: from sick kids and broken down cars to unplanned pregnancies, deadbeat dads and sudden emergency room visits that aren’t covered by insurance.

    That was my point, though. Yes, she needs to be ready to defend her record as a prosecutor. She’s pretty good at that in interview settings, I think. My point was that Tulsi threw a bunch of shit she couldn’t possibly have been prepared for against the wall and Kamala got hammered for not seeing that exact shit coming. Tulsi’s attacks held her responsible for decisions her rank and file prosecutors made far away from her office that she reversed when informed of the issue. How was Kamala supposed to have the details of what her line prosecutors did, however many years ago, at her fingertips to rebut the charge that she personally suppressed evidence or was in the courthouse cackling with glee that some people got time for dealing or using pot?

    Tulsi’s barrage was like the nitwits in the GOP claiming that Obama was personally directing the IRS to target teabagger SuperPacs or micromanaging the NSA’s surveillance. It’s not realistic to expect Kamala to have detailed retorts ready for every instance of questionable or bad judgment on the part of her prosecutors.
