I was wondering what happened with it. I read about it on twitter and then I looked for it and couldn't find any info on it. I looked for it on MSNBC because I thought Ari Melber was hosting but nada. Only Booker, Harris, and Steyer showed up. Why am I not surprised.

Ugh. People still watch Joe Scarborough? Why? These 2 sanctimonious a-holes should shut it. Where has all their outrage been regarding the hate rallies, regarding the Lock Her Up, Send them Back chants. They gave this clown Fluff coverage in 2016 and not once I suspect did they ever challenge trump on his UNAMERICAN spreading of the Obama birther lie. And I doubt very much as I have seen a few tweets, anyone on that show supports any democrat for president. They are all hoping (with NBC's help) for anther 4 years for the orange clown.

Thought you'd appreciate this.

I'm with Marceline. I don't believe a thing the times political desk reports. Especially after 2016. And I am frankly tired of their "access" reporting. That's how Judith Miller helped craft a narrative leading up into Iraq.

The photo is here but it was actually punked - a phony done I guess as a joke. https://twitter.com/drewharwell/status/1186827917126488065

LOL! Yep I can't believe they voted YES this quickly (I know there is a timing issue) especially with how many times they voted no on May's deal. But I find it hard to believe they would have voted yes while leaving the issue with Northern Ireland so explosive. Or maybe they really just don't care.

So ok I am unclear on the timetable issue. Did Parliament deliberately vote yes on the Brexit deal and no on the timetable so that it gets delayed and elections happen before the next potential EU exit date? Were both of these votes to stick it to Johnson?

I'm also not that familiar with Bloc Quebecois, the Quebec based party that won 32 seats. If I recall going way back this party was formed temporarily in the early 90'sand was progressive to push for sovereignty. Over the years evolved to become different things. At one time they were pro secession. I am not clear on where they stand now and whether they are still pro secession. I do wonder if they can be tapped on to help form a majority in some sense. The Liberals I believe won 155 seats which is more than was expected. So Trudeau needs to cobble together 15 more seats to gain a majority. And Trudeau also needs to stand by what he committed to. The Canadians for example, led by Trudeau, have been one of the beneficiaries of what's going on in the Amazon. Not the fires but the structured cutting down of the forests for lumber use. Doesn't sound like someone fighting climate change.

I knew Elijah Cummings was ill, although not this ill. I am in shock. When I imagine leaders in the US , he epitomizes the ideal. I just wish his life and work could inspire an entirely new generation to step forward. He will be missed. I know he was chair of the Oversight Committee, but can we detach his work from that cretin in the White House for one day and focus on his contributions and his decency. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/us/politics/elijah-cummings-dead.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

I heard this on a local radio station yesterday. Not progressive or conservative and people were calling in laughing about millennials being blamed like WTF.

😀😀😀 times 1000!!!!

I have always believe it was moderates who were more concerned about impeachment, although if you're talking about the extreme far left kooks - some of who support Bernie and Tulsi Gabbard I agree. I don't know there are any far leftists here. I was trusting Pelosi because she's an experienced politician and I think knows Trump and knew something else would come up. But at this point everyone should know the playbook and should know what to expect.

Maggie Haberman yuck. Talk about out of touch. Why is this tweet even newsworthy. This fraud was never going to show any courage. Who outside of these out of touch reporters don't know Rubio is an empty suit like Paul Ryan another so called star. I hope you realize Carl that this shows how completely out of touch all the Beltway press is and Haberman has become nothing more than a gossip columnist for Trump, IVanka, and Jared. Frankly she should be recusing herself from covering any of them based on her mothers PR firm having represented them.

That one surprised me since the Times tried to hard to give the right their talking point but most of the MSM did not take the bait or allow the right to go there before being shut down. I guess the only thing I will say is that everyone cries about how the Beltway is out of touch with Americans, yet we continue to rely on those same people to inform us how we are feeling. This is not a center right country it's center. Maybe even slightly center left. I refuse to go by why anyone in the DC press tells me. I finally heard that idiot Michael Moore admit that the working class is not Joe Sixpack at the local diner but women, PoC, and immigrants. Coming for someone, Moore, who loves to chide democrats for not chasing people unreachable, that was a big change.

I admit I am not super active on twitter but this is the first I as hearing of the AOC townhall stuff.

I don't know how well Trump is liked in Australia but don't. Everyone who Trump touches gets stained. It appears the Ukrainians knew that and tried to delfect and buy time, certainly our European allies know at this point, and China, Russia etc know how to play him. Maybe Morrison is too new or was promised a trade deal in return. I wouldn't bank on it. Trump has been known to cheat people repeatedly,

They should work with The NY Times who seems set on outing this person

This is shocking. I was expecting a watered down memo but this is damning. Did the White House think this was going to be good for them? I haven't really been interested in a Biden nomination, but sadly I think he's going to be dragged down along with Trump. Despite the nepotism, I don't think he deserves that.

So the photos from the "Iran attack" are not even proving what the administration claims it does. I am frankly disgusted hearing so many senators from the democratic side stand up and say without doubt it's Iran. I already called mine and said no to Iraq part 2. Someone is itching to start up a war with Iran. The Saudi's? Israel? Or someone in our current administration. I;m not buying this recent attack. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/16/world/middleeast/trump-saudi-arabia-oil-attack.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Yeah the woman cannot remember. I highly doubt that, but the fact is 10 people along with this gentleman(who has credibility across the aisle by the way) all contacted the FBI and never were able to provide information because they were not called back. We know the investigation was limited in scope as directed by Don McGahn.

I have been tuned out of the news channels for several weeks/months. Has it been this bad as the media is pushing Biden 1000%. I will vote Biden, and I should say I am not surprised the MSM is pushing the status quo.

Boris Johnson is not Trump, who is stupid. Johnson knows exactly what he's doing and has been doing for years. He deserves everything coming his way.

I don't even know why anyone pays attention to them. Most of these polls also qualify them by saying 75% of the electorate has not yet decided. I know it's a different election and I am not comparing anyone to Obama, but this time in 2007 Obama was 30 points behind Clinton in the polls.

Are we supposed to cry because David Koch is dead. This is more than apropos IMO, considering the horrible policies they have pushed , many which have contributed to climate change including this disaster.

A bunch of double talk and condescension. This man needs to be fired and the paper needs a good housecleaning. With all the layoffs, there have to be a lot of people out there who could easily do a better job than he and his team.
