He tried. Republicans in Congress were just obstructionist as usual.

Immigration reform died in the house after passing the Senate. Parts of his executive actions were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. He tried and did stuff.

Lester Holt moderating the 1st debate
Garrison Keillor.. what a funny read. I knew he could have a tartness to his bite, but damn that was harsh.
When we were college students, the earliest dates my husband and I would take were hiking/picnic trips into the wilderness, usually with the local NPR station playing in the background on the handheld radio. I have a strong memory association of our early days with Keillor's program, so when I hear of him or his voice, I get nostalgic in my own weird way.

And most younger LGBT folks don't have a point of comparison on how far we've come. They don't know what it was like to have sodomy laws (and the multitude of legal/social fruits borne out of them) hanging over you. Most kids born in the late 80s/early 90s weren't politically aware until after these laws were struck-down. That's amazing to me.
They don't know a pre-Internet world where there often was no communication with others like oneself before leaving home. They don't know a media environment where queer jokes were perfectly acceptable on mainstream TV programs. They didn't get to see mainstream politicians comparing gay folk to the worst, sickest dregs of society; nowadays, this this is something that mainly fringe politicians do, as mainstream Republicans are often wise enough to dodge the topic as much as possible.
The country has changed on these issues, more quickly than many of us ever could've dreamed. But movement leaders should always take time to remind folks - young and old - of where we've been, and of the fact that there are still politicians and areas of the country that want to roll things back.

I totally forgot about that Red Hot and Blue album. That was surprisingly nostalgic. My friend's dad used to play that tape when he'd pick us up from school. I remember seeing Lee Atwater play a song off of that (possibly with BB King?) on Letterman's old show on NBC. Huh.
Third debate is foreign policy, right?

Decent moderators.
Yeah, no objections here.
This is one of those times where I want to see what the reactions are like across the aisle..

I think Holt is too green for such a big debate, could've used a more experienced moderator.
Hope it works out well.
Guess Guiliani and Ailes pushed for Wallace.

I dislike the legitimization of Fox News as an actual news channel and not just a massive propaganda machine.
For our purposes, that's good enough. Time's almost up for an "economic decline" narrative to take hold.. only a 2008-style collapse will change things now.

Thread on policy? Ha.
I almost made a thread about it earlier and got distracted, so I'd say yes, it is thread-worthy.
One of the better examples of the strengths she'd bring as President.

A couple nights ago I asked what would happen if Conway got fired.
I never thought the answer would be "Fuck it. Everyone's a campaign manager."
I mean no wonder Trump is constantly contradicting himself. He probably has 6 different people telling him to say 6 different things.

how about instead of a policy thread, i overfit some trendlines and post how TRUMP WILL WIN
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I love the idea, but my pessimism says this will be useless.

You should do a bait & switch by having that as the thread title then posting links of that dude who plays HearthStone.
The problem is that you have to make sure they don't just monopolize and price hike but at the same time you need to make sure these companies are motivated to do the R & D in the first place.
