Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Looks like a 'quiet' attempt to dip into a more "centrist" strategy by the Our Revolution folks. Bernie and his cohort are certainly not above being calculating, despite what the purity ponies claim. He's a politician who has been in office for decades, likely backed by a cohort of other politicians and no matter how well their intentions all are, they function as politicians. Every day, it's a burning trash fire with Trump Inc. So much so that it's now become an entire garbage dump. How Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., Avoided a Criminal Indictment Tillerson tries to talk around this but he still has yet to deny that he said it.

Members JaneAusten Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Good article by Ari Berman on the case in front of the Supreme Court on gerrymandering. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/10/anthony-kennedys-questioning-suggests-extreme-partisan-gerrymandering-could-be-in-danger/ And when people want to claim Jim Crow is over, just another version of a "poll tax". discounting thousands from the ability to vote https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/04/alabama-voting-poll-tax?CMP=share_btn_tw Edited October 4, 2017 by JaneAusten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) The Berniacs are trying to change the narrative because Bernie is being dragged to hell for being bought and paid for by the NRA.His pro-gun votes are getting a lot of scrutiny right now.

Members Khan Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'll probably get into some trouble for saying this, but speaking as someone who (unfortunately) toiled for a season at Gorsuch's alma mater, Columbia University, it REALLY doesn't surprise me to see him grandstanding. Students at Columbia have a tendency to grandstand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 5, 2017 Members Share Posted October 5, 2017 The media obsession over Tillerson calling you know who a "moron" reminds me again just how useless and harmful the circle jerk of the press often is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted October 5, 2017 Members Share Posted October 5, 2017 I can't even pretend to be surprised. These guys are hypocrites almost down to a man. How many times have gay bashing congressmen been caught having sex with a man? How many times have "family values" congressmen been caught having an affair or worse yet leaving a wife with cancer? Even John McCain is said by some to have left his first wife because she was disfigured in a car accident. He cheated on her first of course. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 5, 2017 Members Share Posted October 5, 2017 That's nothing new. I used to work for an abortion rights group so I occasionally visited abortion clinics for work. I can't tell you how many times people protesting have come into clinics to get their own abortion then were right back out there protesting in a few weeks later. I went to one where a nurse said "Two of the women out there have been patients." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 5, 2017 Members Share Posted October 5, 2017 Cognitive dissonance. Some people are so committed to this. I liken this to the raging homophobes who are then caught 'tapping' signals in the men's bathroom stall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
