  • I've seen at least three articles on this topic, and none of them seem to say what the sanctions are. It could be anything from denying entry to the US to freezing her bank accounts.

  • Could you expand on this? It isn't obvious to me that this is true, and I haven't seen the argument before either.

  • This is the result of the Republican party, starting at least with the Bush neocons, weaponizing patriotism to be a way to slander their critics, and to publicly demonstrate their allegiance to the conservative movement.

    After a couple decades now of conservative pundits and politicians responding to criticism by implying their opponents don't love America as much as they do, or even trying to stifle conversation by demanding everyone profess their love of America on the spot, I think everyone else is pretty sick and tired of the flags and pins and stars-and-stripes punisher tee shirts.

  • I'm gonna disagree here. The impeachment resolution was a dumb idea, and should not have been introduced. It was never going to be successful. The more impeachment resolutions are introduced and fail, either in the house or Senate, the less likely they are to ever succeed. It looks more like boring partisan messaging, and less like an extraordinary situation. Introducing this resolution makes it less likely that Trump will be removed from office, not more.

    I'm not going to take a position on whether it was a good idea to vote against it, that's more debatable, but as a message to their fellow Democrats they are right that the resolution was a terrible idea.

  • Harold's got some competition

  • Did nobody hear her say that the national guard is there to "liberate" the city from their local and state officials? It was in that very same press conference. I get that there's a lot to track right now, but that seems like a bigger deal to me

  • In the article it explains that some states allow people without immigration status to enroll using state funds.

  • And the poorest will feel that $1600 painfully. The richest won't even notice the $12000.

  • Exes? Okay.

    Favorite car bangers? Right.

    Fast food orders? Wut?

  • I imagine it would be hard to be on the news side of the news/analysis divide, having to talk to these chodes in a professional manner, and also never being able to publicly say they are the biggest chodes you've ever met. I bet that sucks. I do get NBCs position on this though.

  • When I was in high school, gay was the generic negative word. If Wendys gave you a medium fry when you ordered a large - gay. If your homie cancelled plans last minute - gay. If you slipped on the stairs and busted your ass - gay. It's bizarre in hindsight.

  • Sure the American public is going through a bad phase right now, but that's pretty normal. The fact that having a demagogue capture maybe 15 percent of the public's support (I'm only counting real MAGA) has caused the entire government to radically change is an indictment of the political systems, more than the public. Specifically gerrymandering, plurality voting, the electoral college, bicameral legislature with filibuster, lifetime court appointments, and an independently elected president. Probably more that I'm forgetting about. Human nature isn't going to change, but we can change how a nation makes policy.

  • Nah this is 60 minutes putting pressure on their new handlers to not squash the segment. Now everyone knows it's coming, and if it doesn't air people will notice. I think it's a wise move.

  • Honestly what are you talking about?

  • More than Abrego Garcia? Probably because he had a court order not to be deported.

  • Maybe the staff don't want to come back after being doxxed.
