Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Chicago's top federal prosecutor noted in a court filing that his office has already dropped charges in the case, implemented “robust root-cause changes” and started the process of reviewing over 1,00...

this is not at all clear and is a poisonous sentiment

It's pretty clear that, for centrist/establishment Dems, "Blue No Matter Who" applies only to progressive voters whose preferred candidate lost The establishment has cooked their brains into thinking winning over moderate GOP voters is a winning strategy

🇷🇺Welcome to Russia—every day is a new episode of 💩

Several factors explain the rise of the uber wealthy: greed, power, fame, selfishness . . . My mom blames TV wealth porn shows like Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous, Dallas, Dynasty, Kardashians, etc. She even points out that shows like Friends or Full House falsely portrayed what is affordable.

Kagan also says that he does not want to be called neoconservative lol.

Kagan also says that the Iran War as it exists is a mistake and that the US has proven itself incapable of extricating itself from the conflict due to its commitments to Israel.

"America is broadly Islamophobic, and so any enemy of Islam is a friend of ours"

Fascinating interview with Robert Kagan, where he says that the biggest mistake of the Iraq war was that it permanently crippled the American public's conceptualization of their country's role in the world, and then admits that America is exceedingly Islamophobic and this informs foreign policy.

Robert Kagan: Sometimes US intervention is worth blowback

In a wide-ranging interview with RS, the hawkish historian talks primacy, neoconservatives, and why he opposes the war in Iran

Asking gamblers why they’re gambling and actually believing them when they say “I see no other way to get ahead in life” is incredible.

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

One way to be safe is to never write an electability take

Why are the poors voting for socialism instead of dying for capitalism are they stupid or something? The media

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

If Stevens had made it to the general election and lost in the fall, the argument would have been that the left cost the Dems the Senate. The left is pretty used to the media narrative always being “the left is at fault.”

If sayed loses in the fall then the argument will be the left cost the Dems the senate which would be bad IMO

Since MAGA brought up Covid again..Some MAGA brains thought this was a good argument.

They won last year in a way that seemed to take divine intervention. If anything, the world in general is showing that if you want anything good to happen you should get more evil if you believe in this superstitious shit, but hey.

I think it's quaint that every time the Dodgers go on a losing streak, people on here seem to think it's karma or whatever. By this logic, you deserve the shitshow you're suffering through right now.

The irony is that there’s plenty of evidence that the idea they’re totally toxic to Democrats in a primary now is flat wrong (see Bell just last night), but their own strategy and poor choices have mostly obscured that and made them look worse!

essentially every decision AIPAC has made this year they have made not just wrong but maximally wrong

btw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs
