That clip from Huckabee is incredible. She plays the whataboutism card by asking "what would have happened if the prior administration had been mercilessly attacked by tv show programs" as if that **** didn't happen every single ****ing day on fox.

Is that supposed to be the tick tick tick...boom?

Also isn't it a great strategy from Wittes? As long as something gets published within a week of his tick tweets I'm all giving him credit as a source of information and he may know nothing about it :P

It will become a nothingburger when it hits the right.

Re the request by Trump commission for voter info: the letter asks for publicly available voter info. It doesn't ask for private info which they plan to make public. Considering that practically every voter's info has already been exposed, this request seems like not much. Which is not to say they're not planing evil doings.

For those who didn't commit crimes there should be public hangings where they have to answer for all of this to us.

I'll tell you what the **** it is. It's a little something Donnie wanted to have ready to leak to Putin on the sidelines of the G20 meeting.

IMO Trump shouldn't be allowed to meet Putin given the circumstances. Not sure how to restrict access though. Can't issue a restraining order to the POTUS, right?

That's not what I'm suggesting it is. I'm suggesting they want a more detailed demographic picture of turnout patterns so they can optimise their suppression efforts. No point passing a bunch of laws in places where there won't be much return.

Or maybe I'm wrong and it's all entirely innocent.

These promos are the nut low. Msnbc spent a ton trying to gin up interest in her and her "can't we all get along" bs when there's a rabid animal attacking the country's face.

I mean they dumped her in the middle of a campaign specifically designed to promote her.

I hope she blew all her cash on Scientology lessons.

Politico saying McConnell is 15-20 votes short. I'm sure Trump's recent tweets will get them on board.

Trump couldn't make a deal to pay retail price for a candy bar.

LOL McCain.

"I regret it."

So McCain regrets what exactly? That Trump did something he had zero control over?

This guy.

Also good god someone in that press room needs to just walk up and kick Hucka****s ass.

It is also the contention that the vast majority of those in bad shape are not largely to blame for their circumstances. They consider that contention an insult to them. It implies that their moderate success is due to luck.

In other words I am speculating that there might be more support for helping the needy if the estimate among liberals for the number of people who are partially to blame for their own bad circumstances was INCREASED rather than decreased. That seems counterintuitive. But it is based on my opinion that the average semi successful hard working person would fell more generous if he or she was thrown a compliment while being asked for help.

David this is one of those times where your political views incorporate some insanely right wing premises as the default instead of accurately evaluating your personal views.

For example, asking? Uh, it's not asking. It's telling. This is how society is made better.

(also being a victim of capitalism is not a ****ing moral failing, we underfund their schools, subject some of them to centuries of institutional racism, and allow employers to **** them over)

The welfare state is not ****ing charity from the morally blameless hard working rich.
