So that Green Party... so arent they up in arms with how Trump gives no shits about Climate Change? They don't seem to be clamoring for the spotlight like they were previously with all of the recount shenanigans.

Just wanted to remind you that Putin is known not just for funding far right parties but also funding far left parties.

Right, but that's not falling in love. They're voting for who they vote for because they think this person wants the same things they do. Notice that, in how you've described the Republicans, you have a strange harmony with how Sanders works - you don't tell people what you think you can do, you tell them about where your end-goal is. In truth, there's very little that Republicans can ever do to seriously challenge access to abortion at the underpinnings, only messing around with funding and clinic locations and the like. That doesn't stop them saying what they want is to end abortion - because they understand how powerful the appeal is of telling people about your principles and not your pragmatics.
Any political advisor who comes up with the idea that you should campaign on what you could definitely and absolutely achieve is an idiot. Especially because that would leave you with basically nothing to campaign on at all given how obstructionist American politics is at the moment. You end up with a nothing-campaign full of great big nothings. You're Jeb Bush by another name.
Sean Spicer is beyond clown status. He's a fucking Nazi and its amazing to me that even before the first official press conference he put on such an aggressive display. Like, it's scary stuff. And to think, this is just the beginning.
Very concerned about the economy and our security. These people lie so much. Trump's behavior at the CIA thing was strange. I don't think he is going to keep us safe. I think he's looking for anything to serve as catalyst to go to war.
Also I really think they are going to try and control as much as possible how information is obtained online. They so desperately yet aggresssively want to put an end to dissenters. Killing net neutrality is just the tip of the iceberg I fear.

It's just so sad and predictable, yet manipulative to his supporters. Totally disregards everyone who protested yesterday, like they don't matter at all. Can't believe this shit works.

Tomorrow the first full day of fuckery begins.
Remember that one ABC/WaPo poll showing Hillary +15 over Trump? Such innocent and fun times.
Does anyone know when DNC is going to release their autopsy?

Hillary ignored the rust belt while the FBI, Russia and Trump conspired against her. The end.

Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly.

Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views.

Relying on Republicans to do good is a fool's errand
The collapse of international diplomacy vs. having to feel respect for Marco fucking Rubio.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I'm not sure which outcome I'm rooting for.

Rubio is going to vote for him.
No Trump cabinet picks are not going to get confirmed. Period.

Clearly he has something to hide. Glad we can stop pretending, too.
The white house press corps should ban together (at least those who are willing) and make a rotation of who asks them about his taxes, so they face that every day.
I can understand why a reporter wouldn't want to waste what is probably his only question on something that they won't answer, but doing it once every couple of weeks should be doable.

That would be a great idea, but the press isn't going to organize itself to do that and 2) the WH will just say "we won, move along, sour grapes, etc" because they know there's some nasty stuff in there (never bought the audit crap).
Welcome to the new America, where the facts are made up and the lies don't matter.
That's literally what she implied. If you attack trump or call him out she made it very clear that they will not apologize, not explain any actions but just flat out attack back for random shit to deflect anything they do

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Remember in 2012 when Biden took on Ryan in the VP debate, and every time Ryan said something that was blatantly false, Biden's facial expressions and actions showed the ridiculousness of the situation?
We NEED people to do more of that. That's why I'm pushing Biden 2020 right now. I want people that will be visibly up in arms about it instead of trying calm reactions with polite retorts.

Graham just said on CBS that he is voting for Tillerson. Looks like he's getting thru. Little Marco will fold.

You forgot the "SHOCKING NEWS." Every single pick will get through. Every one.
Remember: RNC was hacked. No information was leaked. They still have this information and are going to be blackmailing everyone.

Why is the media so afraid of using the word "lie"?
There's not going to be a single GOP vote against any of his picks.
That's what you get when you nominate the wife of the Senate majority leader to a key cabinet position...
That's what Biden was so good as a debater, because he understood appeals to morality. Lying is wrong, and Ryan is wrong. Bingo.
I really think picking Kaine was a huge strategic mistake because he couldn't provide that kind of clarity. He got in some decent hits but never effectively reacted to pence's obvious mendacity and cornpone theatrics.

Was wondering this while watching Chuck Todd. "Falsehood." Just say he lied.

I was disappointed that Wallace didn't call him out on this particular bullshit. The Trump crowd photo clearly shows the smaller crowds while Trump is pictured on the big screens speaking:

Any time some big name republican gives hints he might not vote for some administration candidate, they are doing this just to preserve a sense of authority and power that Trump took away from them. It's just a way to save face in front of their electorate because the guy who never spent a day as a politician and crushed their future aspirations by attacking became their boss and president.
Rubio, McCain, they just don't want to look like cucks.

This is semantics, and nothing more
Clearly?
Also, good luck, Chuck. I look forward to all the newfound appreciation for my no-constitutional-duty-to-confirm argument from last year.

When exactly is the point when the media is going to be willing to pull off the band-aid with this administration?
I realize they're not used to being in an antagonistic relationship with the White House, but this has gone beyond the pale.

If it looks like a cuck, swims like a cuck, and quacks like a cuck, then it probably is a cuck.

Again: People need to understand how great Chris Wallace actually is as a journalist. The guy was easily the best debate moderator, and isn't afraid to challenge republicans even though he's on Fox News.
If it gives you any consolation, now that McCain and Graham have declared their voting intentions, the easiest way for Rubio to not look like a cuck would be to vote against Tillerson in the committee. And while he would still have the necessary votes in the senate, there will have to be a one week delay before it can vote.
