Vaguely? The first thing I thought of was a sexual reference haha
He's actually part of the same gang as D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty.
Looking at how ridiculously nationalist, racist, sexist and conservative the kids coming after us millennials are, makes me sad. They make the boomers look downright liberal...
We're never going to get a break. As soon as the boomers die out, the Trumper kiddos are going to be coming of age where they're politically active.
We're going to have to be the generation to keep everything not exploding into hellfire until we all die out...
Like a delicious sandwich between two moldy pieces of bread.
This is a bad take, Gen Z is probably the most left on record. While young conservatives are often very far right, they're a tiny slice of the population compared to the huge amount of college republican types that stink up the Millennial generation.

I think the dnc should come up with a comprehensive list of the 30-40 house seats they believe are "most likely" to flip and send them all out in emails so that all registered democrats can see what they are and target them specifically
It shouldn't be up to political junkies to do their own research and figure this stuff out.

When is the election? Having no leader right now is a huge issue.
Really? The same people who just stripped back on an EO stating that mentally ill people on fucking social security should still be allowed to own their own guns even though they are incapable of taking care of their own finances?
Good luck with that.

Sigh, I miss Adam
As well as an easy stD.
I think the DCCC already released the target list. But, yes, this shit needs to be made far easier and more frictionless. The party has very little understanding of how to tap into this grassroots activism so far.

I'm not sure. Can't say I'm looking forward to it because it's almost certainly going to be Perez coming out for some stupid reason.
But whatever. Hopefully whoever it is can give voters visible direction like this.
if the party makes it easy for people who want to be active to know where to go, given the size of these rallies and protests, I bet we can get tons of people getting mobilized trying to help flip places they aren't even registered to vote in.
I want dems marching in Jordan, Montana or where ever the fuck random places there might be a vulnerable seat in 2018

The next PPP poll 'troll' question has to be "Do you approve of President Trump's handling of the D?"

Do you consider the D President Trump is waiting on to be easy or hard?

#ShePersisted is trending on Twitter. Republicans are really good at giving their opponents ammo, huh?
That's an amazing slogan for protest

He is probably waiting on Putin's D.
It's a budgetary thing, so they can't just sneak anything through. It's also subject to the Byrd Rule. So they can't use it to get right-to-work through.

He was not nearly as insulting as that clip makes it out to be. Demonizing our opponents and not trying to understand their position is not helpful, and probably leads to things like Trump in the WH.
lol I like how they want to tout this all because of Trump, not like a company could have planned this before

You must be so fun at parties.
Too bad the opposition doesn't know how to load the ammo.

The every weekend protests? The massive amount of phone calls? Trump's policies' approvals falling?
These are all great, it doesn't make us good at marketing, just really mad right now.

Nordstrom not carrying Ivanka's brand because it's not selling is now an attack on the POTUS.
Congrats to free market conservatives.

People wouldn't do those things if they weren't being talked about and marketed.

I mean, maybe, but also, #ShePersisted is great marketing. I get your mad, but we can't let our frustrations get in the way of recognizing when something is a good idea.
Telling people what they should be thinking is more important than cogency.
- Hordes of Muslims are swarming into the country. Throngs even!
- Be afraid.
- The judges are dumb and a liability. If anything happens it's their fault. Should be an easy decision.

Wait--he said saying the Yemen mission was "unsuccessful" is wrong because a guy died?
Am I crazy, or wasn't that pretty much exactly what the republicans did ad nauseum to Hillary over the last few years?

hell no, he acts like even the most reasonable questions are outlandish. Then he loses steam so fast.

I think one of those weird things that Trump and the white supremacists want dearly that they haven't realized they won't get regardless of what position they occupy is respect.
Trump probably thought things would change when he became president and that people would have to respect and admire and adore him, just like they did Obama. He doesn't realize it wasn't President Obama that they respected, but Barack Obama.

Spicer? He apparently was a Priebus pick, so he was probably living on borrowed time even if he had done a bang-up job. Now i expect he won't see March, unless Trump knows that Spicer hates his job and wants to keep Spicer out there twisting in the wind to spite him.

Trump is so easy to manipulate. "Obama wouldn't be bold enough to do this." That's all he needed to hear to give it a go.

lmao wtf he just puts words in King's mouth!? This is pathetic.
No worries! Still considering subscribing to them regardless. I feel I need to digest more print media than skewed internet echo-chambers, lately.Seems to just be an email offer.I had a quick look, and though the site it redirects to is pretty generic, I think it identifies my email account somewhere along the line. Sorry for getting your hopes up. :/
The New York Times has incredible journalism. It just happens that their politics desk is probably their weakest department and their staff is pretty hit and miss. Haberman and Thrush bring the heat.
I don't know if the fact that he was a former GOP operative is coloring my view of him (and his unwillingness to ever disclose that), but Jonathan Martin seems to be king of the both-sides-ism/horse-race stuff, which is disappointing.
Oh, and Mark Liebovich is one of the best politics writers out there. The Times is practically worth subscribing to for NYT Mag alone.
