By Phlebas Go To PostFlynn's Twitter account is gone.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostOne thing that might lead to Flynn getting kicked out is that he just fucking sucks as a co-worker and no one other than Trump can stand him.

Hopefully office politics allows the Trump admin to actually fire the traitor.

By reilo Go To PostI assume Obama fired the guy for incompetence not because lack of complaints from people around Flynn.

By DY_nasty Go To PostObama was not above hiring a few incompetent ppl, pls

By DY_nasty Go To PostBut usually there's a bit of stick-togetherness in those offices. Flynn must be cancer.

By Fenderputty Go To PostI mean, considering the amount of leaks coming, I would assume Trumps entire admin is a rather caustic place to be right now.

By DY_nasty Go To Postlol everyone loves being the new nigger

its so trifling…

By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostIt really is.

Same people performing 9.1 scoring mental gymnastics about Sessions would be the same ones invoking it.

By KingGondo Go To PostIf it ever gets built it will be a fitting monument to this shameful era.

By Fenderputty Go To PostCan you give me examples of Blue Dog Dems not being moderate? Their entire platform in centrism and bridging gaps between the left and right. So far I provided a perfect example of what I was talking about. Killing single payer. In fact, a GOP backed bill at the time included single payer (though to be fair it was garbage because it didn't include a mandate with it)


The blue dog dems didn't go hardcore left and they were still voted out. That's my point. After a black man was voted in in 2008, democrats have been losing moderate seats in red states and it isn't because they're all super liberal.

By reilo Go To PostGiven the list I posted above, what does Manchin stand with Democrats on? Those are basically all major issues he's sided against Democrats with: guns, abortion, environment, gay rights.

So, again, what does he side with Democrats on?

By DY_nasty Go To PostThe Sessions stuff…. man, I know you feel the same way I do. Its so easy to "stand up" against a boogieman like him. The whole thing is pathetic show - but it's popularity shows how many still don't get why so many black voters are as indifferent as they are now.

Amid growing newsroom discontent over his perceived resistance to critical coverage of Donald Trump, Wall Street Journal editor in chief Gerry Baker will host a town hall meeting next week where he is expected to address the paper’s reporting on the new administration and answer questions from his staff.

Baker has been hesitant to allow Journal reporters to characterize Trump’s false assertions as lies and has suggested that media “elites” are out to get Trump. During the campaign, reporters say, some of his editorial decisions tended to downplay Trump’s transgressions while he urged his staff to be tougher on Hillary Clinton.

The result, some reporters say, has been a decline in morale that has been exacerbated by the just-announced departure of deputy editor-in-chief Rebecca Blumenstein for The New York Times. All in all, there's palpable concern among the rank and file that Baker, a former columnist, has placed unreasonable restrictions on the Journal’s Trump coverage.

By Enron Go To Postreilo: because a proper democrat is going to be tough to vote in. Even harder for house seats. if your district is a swing district, the candidate is going to have to reflect the district as a whole otherwise they are going to get unseated.

I don't get the argument that "what we need is an even more Left/Right candidate" or a favorite one of Republicans, the old "He lost because he wasn't CONSERVATIVE enough" whenever a RINO-in-their-eyes loses an election. It's not like the other side is going to ever vote for your guy unless something is DREADFULLY wrong with their candidate. It's the voters in the middle that you are competing for.

That's why in swing districts you need Blue Dogs if you are a democrat, because at least they will stand with you most of the time, instead of NONE of the time.

For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN.

Reached for comment this afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, "We continue to be disgusted by CNN's fake news reporting."
Spicer later called back and said, "This is more fake news. It is about time CNN focused on the success the President has had bringing back jobs, protecting the nation, and strengthening relationships with Japan and other nations. The President won the election because of his vision and message for the nation."

By Hitch Go To PostStill can't get over how bad 'I'm With Her' is as a campaign slogan. I'm sure it made no difference, but jesus….

The worker, 43-year-old Jose Moran, said on Friday that his goal was to unionise at the factory where he has worked since 2012, often pulling 12-hour days, six days a week.

“A lot of workers believe we have a right for union representation and a right to represent ourselves and our own interest. We don’t believe the company is doing that for us,” Moran said.

Earlier in the day the UAW said Moran had never been paid by the union.

“We can confirm that Mr Moran and others at Tesla have approached the UAW and we welcome them with open arms,” the union said.

Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk, told Gizmodo on Thursday that Moran was “paid by the UAW to join Tesla and agitate for a union. He doesn’t really work for us, he works for the UAW”.
