Missed opportunity for Biden. Yeah. This has nothing to do with the Democratic party and everything to do with Joe Biden specifically. Elections have consequences, even primaries.

Eta: haha I see you got hit with GoT already! I never had HBO so watched GOT on dvds after the Red Wedding when I heard about it on different forum. Could only watch through the 4th season then quit cuz hated it. The books I love and still enjoy talking about them occasionally. I don’t watch TV so I miss many references to to shows, but that suits me just fine. Back to politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that novel, The Unfolding, lays out in great detail, as the anonymously massively wealthy and powerful plot a coup because of it, in order to "save everything we've built." They ever tell us what it is they built though, and must be saved, unless we're to infer this is Their version of US history, which is pretty banal and lacking but they believe they really know it all. Most of the plans though are told to us in contentless vague words, presumably all dog whistles that the coupster understand. ~~~~~~~~ Re the attorney requesting that declassification info must mean that the 3 million he ponied up for a real lawyer (did he actually pay in advance? if he didn't, we've got another chump here) got a real lawyer?

In The Hunger Games, the young girl Katniss befriends in the 1st film was black and there was a backlash. Then there was the black Storm Trooper in a Star Wars film, and now a black mermaid. The HG came out in 2012, so I guess 3 black actors in 10 years is just too much. /s I know, I was totally outraged by it. Everyone knows all Storm Troopers are Maori.

Martell Spy Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Ruben Gallego’s ready for a fight — even if the Democratic Party isn’t Inside the Arizona’s representative’s restless, highly online, and seriously combative plan to transform the Democratic Party. https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23323231/ruben-gallego-arizona-latino-voters Quote PHOENIX, Arizona — Rep. Ruben Gallego picked up a steak knife, twisted his left wrist, and began stabbing the air in front of him. He’d been ranting about why he hates Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing, and, an hour into dinner, he was clearly getting flustered. “Politics is dark and hard. It’s not a bunch of people trying to do their best. It’s who can shank each other in a smarter way,” he said. It was the Monday night before primary day in Arizona, and we were at an overheated Sonoran-style Mexican restaurant in South Phoenix with Gallego’s wife and a couple of staffers. One of them reminded Gallego we were in public, and he put down the knife. After some laughter cleared the air (“first of all, this isn’t even hard enough to stab you”), he continued. “Too many young Democrats grew up watching West Wing thinking that’s what politics is.” To Gallego, the 42-year-old Congress member from Arizona’s Seventh District and potential 2024 Senate candidate, politics should be treated like more of an existential fight. Republicans, inspired by Donald Trump, definitely are. The next day, a slate of election-denying Trump loyalists would sweep the primaries for Arizona’s statewide elected offices; a second GOP member of Congress who voted to impeach Trump wo uld lose his race in Michigan; and a third was on track to lose in Washington state.

Fricken proletariat trying to tell their betters what they can and can't do. Judges should know their place. They are put there to serve their betters and protect them from the revolting masses and from the masses revolting. They may be highly paid functionaries, but they are still commoners none-the-less.

Martell Spy Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I don't know. Trump definitely should be sued out of existence of course. But it also seems like another sign that he is above the law. Like certain pharma CEOs or OJ Simpson. The law goes for the cuffs, but then their hands shake. Then we are left with a lawsuit that will lead to a settlement of some kind. There's a headline that he committed fraud over 200 times? Does this mean it's OK for everyone to defraud now?

Fez Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Yeah, I don't really care about a civil suit against Trump. She did refer the materials to prosecutors for possible criminal fraud charges; and whether those get filed is far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
