There was a really brief window right after Biden dropped out and everyone just assumed she’d do things differently where she polled strongly iirc

But then somebody asked her what she would do differently than Biden and she said (essentially), “Nothing, his policies were all completely perfect, his presidency was entirely perfect, and I am just going to try to follow his example” and then her numbers fell off a cliff and never recovered

It seems incredibly petty at first glance, but tbh if it was my last day on earth I would probably spend at least a bit of it trying to remind people what an unbelievable piece of shit the Clinton administration was

Then again, I have probably been tormented into complete insanity by the last two decades of American political news, so maybe that’s not saying much

Gottheimer has been a massive piece of shit in terms of supporting Republican shit, attacking progressive’s ideas, and throwing as much taxpayer money and resources towards wealthy companies as possible for years, plus he’s been a huge supporter of money for Israeli weapons the whole time regardless of how many documented human rights abuses they’ve committed

He doesn’t make headlines that often but he’s one I would be even more excited to see get thrown out in a primary than Schumer or Jeffries or maybe even Fetterman, just the absolute worst kind of scum in our party

Biden tried hard to win them back by telling everyone what great pals he was with Strom Thurmond and going after efforts to desegregate schools

At this point, he’d argue that a law requiring you to vote Republican is fine since it’s only politically discriminatory.

He’d also shamelessly declare that anyone who disagreed with that law a communist, because trolling is the only thing they know anymore

How stupid do they think we are?!! (jk)

Yeah, all of this (along with the facts that 538 and MBFC say they have a right leaning bias and this same poll still has Trump’s approval rating at 42%) sounds like a poll of mainly upper middle class people. That might win you a Democratic primary but that’s been a recipe for crashing and burning in the general since at least 2016.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement field offices across the country were verbally instructed by their superiors that they should no longer enter homes unless they have a judicial warrant, two Homeland Security officials told NBC News.

Because two anonymous DHS goons wouldn’t lie /s

Also, the fact that they (allegedly) did this verbally instead of putting it in writing pretty much guarantees it’s going to suddenly have never happened the moment an attorney tries to reference it in court

Next time Dems have control over the federal government they need to defund red state governments like red states do to their blue cities

Taking statements made by the Daily Mirror and an executive who did business with the Trump administration and was trying to fuck one of its members at face value is indeed a wild idea

There are legal mechanisms for the removal of elected officials

And yes woman are treated worse and often the fall girls for a corrupt admin. But it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be removed. They all need to be.

Fair enough, being willing to work for this administration in any capacity demonstrates a lack of either intellect or morals or both that ought to be disqualifying for any government jobs, but by the same token I’m not going to take an allegation from someone affiliated with this administration about one of their own at face value. If a trustworthy voice like a Democratic lawmaker comes forward and says “I have information showing this person is corrupt and needs to be removed” I would be prepared to believe them, but a complaint from an executive who was happy to do business with this administration is meaningless.

At the end of the day any Trump administration official being removed from their job is a good thing, but we really shouldn’t be taking claims made by anyone in their orbit at face value just because they’re saying things we want to hear.

Can you not think of a scenario where a Trump administration supporting executive would lie out of their asses to punish a woman who denied their advances?

Generally, once upon a time, people with bad financial situations did not get security clearance

The fucking president of the country might as well have his picture in the dictionary next to the entry on “bad financial situations,” if you genuinely believe that’s what this is about I’ve got a cryptocurrency to sell you

20+ years of voter suppression bullshit later and reasonable results like that are a lot harder to come by in the state of misery

We need to do something to prevent Blue Dogs from staying in office

Stuff like what? Being stalked?

I’m sure she’s a fucking piece of shit the world would be a better place without, but how is accepting voluntarily made gifts from someone else any kinda crime? There might be aspects to this we don’t know yet, but considering the original source for all of this is the Daily Mail and the Trump Administration I think it’s safe to assume this is 100% pure misogynistic bullshit and they’re just destroying the career of this woman (who thought the leopards wouldn’t eat her face) because she refused to fuck someone with the power to throw a tantrum about it.

Looks like your screenshot is a month out of date (arc)

Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.

Whether a 5% drop is “slightly down” or “cratering” is a pretty subjective thing, but that’s a sharper decline than we have seen previously.

Yeah, unfortunately this is just making it easier for connected people to do what they want and sell what they want, but plebs are still going to be getting their asses kicked by shithead cops for having suspicious looking multivitamins

Saying someone is a good rage baiter when their shit posting puts them in prison is like saying Timothy Treadwell was good at taking care of bears
