It's not going to matter either way but will be high comedy when trump denounces the "global elites" with a Yale/Goldman Sachs alum awkwardly standing behind him.
New York Times Editorial Board: "Mr. Trump’s political agenda cannot and must not be opposed by violence. It cannot and must not be pursued through violence."
Ok but to be clear Trump's political agenda *is* violence. We get that right? I dont want us to miss that

The fact Bezos made every meeting start off by submitting a 2-6 page white paper is held up as a sign of his business genius.
It makes all the sense in the world to verify people have their ducks in a row and can answer the next level questions before talking POTUS
I understand that our parties are not like parliamentary ones but how the hell don't Jeffries and Schumer call a conference vote and settle this one way or another.
The constant drip of mostly back benchers defecting is keeping the news cycle going
And they have no ground game! It's all being embezzled/paying Trump's bills!
I'm wondering if we get a Narrative Shift after the RNC convention. Even before Trump blew up the RNC, both of the GOP conventions were weird and disorganized. Why does anyone think this year's is going to go well?
The fact there wasn't a competitive primary on either side and thus non-politicos are still completely tuned out hasn't fully registered for us political junkies.
Would love to have "a Christmas Carol" style overview of a world where Obama held dubya's administration accountable for the blatant corruption and incompetence instead of looking forward to letting the same ghouls take over congress next election
It's really great Jerry Nadler and Adam Smith decided it would be better to call for Biden to step down then do any sort of oversight or look into the trumps and kushners taxes
Or lacking a theory of the mind.
"GOP says they want to help mom and pop stores but somehow keep giving taxcuts to Walmart. I don't know why they keep doing this"
The main thing the president does is build his team to actually do the policy execution.
Why personnel = policy and Biden's team is pretty good! (still think he needs to fire his comms dept tho)
a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won
Absolutely. He also seems to hold some core convictions contrary to the dem platform which is why he left the party.
I think Jamelle's point later that he's a vain man does mean he'd suck it up and stick to the talking points.
You think Manchin would be able to stay on message or do you think he'd constantly be affirming Harris is secretly antifa despite being a prosecutor or whatever nonsense of the day is?
