The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

Sirota and Brie are both just about the worst campaign people I've seen since the days of Mark Penn, although at least Brie just continues her sabotaging and hostility straightforwardly, instead of the endless whining and pity parties of Sirota (who was so terrible he was dumped from the campaign months before the implosion). Sometimes I read that Ben Mora's Twitter account, and even he would repeatedly talk about what a whiner Sirota is being. This is exactly why Bernie lost a primary by all rights he should have won. Just toxic and brain dead. 

 

Now that W is back in the news, soon to endorse Biden (boy will that be fun...but any vote helps I suppose), it's time to look at W-era flashpoint Valerie Plame, who went down in flames in her Congressional primary tonight. 

 

 

Plame's pushing of an anti-Semetic article in 2017 helped lead to one of the most vicious attack ads I've seen in a long time.

Oftentimes, the NYTimes can be utter crap but boy, was it glorious to read an uncensored quote of "Fu*ck Trump" in black and white in a news article. Now that's actually all the news that's fit to print.

Well, it looks like a Democratic Socialist did win a contest, and oh, look, she's a black woman!  In fact, if memory serves me correctly, the only two DSA candidates to win on Tues/Wed. were both POC. Isn't that something?  Bernie Bros. must be steaming.

BREAKING: President Barack Obama will address the nation at 5pm EDT today (livestreamed on http://Obama.org) regarding George Floyd’s killing and the ongoing protests around our country.

In other news, West Virginia's backstabbing governor Jim Justice said today that Obama is not welcome in his state. 

 

The only question I have is why he thinks Obama would ever want to be seen there anyway.

The NYT is scum. And now, an article from the NYT.

 

 

Mattis is complicit too, but this is still remarkable.

Then how about he get to work finding a vaccine if he wants that rally SOOOOO badly.

 

But I guess he's too busy hiding in his bunker...and that is when he is not getting peaceful protestors gassed.
