The Swamp

Joe K

I saw somewhere that the actress is 24 years old. But you gotta love the arrogance of 76-year-old Giuliani thinking that a woman in her 20s wants to sleep with him.

Per Wikipedia: The public option was initially proposed for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but was removed after Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) threatened a filibuster. Subsequently, the Obama White House did not include the public option into the bill passed under reconciliation. Ob...

I wonder how many people parroted the Pelosi line about not supporting challengers when she used it against AOC et all. Its not about ideology, just simply protecting the party from being torn apart from the outside, for sure. Every now and then I chuckle when I think about how the guy who spent th...

Joe K

Ha. This is perfect for my point about primary challengers. Feinstein faced a primary challenge in 2018 from Kevin DeLeon, a younger more progressive state congressman who is the son of Latino immigrants. But guess who Obama, Biden, etc. campaigned for? But I’m glad we’re having “serious talks” wit...

The ACA could have been passed with a public option had Obama been willing to use the reconciliation process. But he didn’t do that because he (and his key advisors at the time) didn’t actually care about a public option very much. Also, if the party didn’t want Lieberman to torpedo good legislation...

Populism is more appealing to people than appealing to progress across the board, right? It's a tool that can be used by progressives but also by non-progressives depending on the candidate. It's a technique not an ideology. I think of progressivism as essentially left-populism. Right-populism migh...

Joe K

I also think you can’t deem Democrats as “progressive” based on the standard that this is the best we can get in this country while ignoring the host of other countries that have done the “unattainable.” Popular politicians have the power to shape public opinion and change the scope of what’s “possi...

Joe K

In the historical sense, going back to the start of the turn of the 20th Century when the term rose to prominence, “progressive” meant fighting for the economic benefits of workers and common people as opposed to corporate and wealthy interests. That’s still a good definition in my opinion. “Progres...

Joe K

Okay, who is Biden lagging behind? Out of the other Dems in the primary? Lets say four debates is the cutoff here so I don't run out of characters ... Biden would be behind Sanders, Warren, Yang, Booker, Gabbard, Beto, Steyer, Castro and probably Buttigieg. Right, but I meant out of credible presid...

Joe K

Fuck this is exhausting. "Wow look at how progressive Biden is once you eliminate almost every other candidate who was bypassed by the party because they were relatively too progressive." Also, did Biden beat everyone else because he’s less progressive or because he served as VP to the be...

Joe K

Weird stance taken by the most progressive presidential candidate in the history of the world. Just in this country. Seriously, dude, wasn't it like two hours ago you posted a tweet talking about Biden's progressive positions - and how popular they were? Anyway, if you think Biden is not running on...

Joe K

JoeK , come the fuck on. Are you steve bannon? Yes, I must be Steve Bannon for having the audacity to think that emails are real, even if illicitly obtained, where not a single person copied on said emails has come forward to deny their authenticity. I’ve repeatedly said that Giuliani may have done...

Joe K

Again, if they are bogus why hasn’t Hunter Biden, the Biden Campaign, or anyone else copied on the emails come out and said as much? It’d be pretty easy to determine whether are not they are forgeries and wouldn’t you expect to see a prompt statement to that effect if they weren’t legit? Not sure i...

Joe K

By addressing the charges, Biden gives them credence. It’s been hard to keep track while on the road ... what’s the actual charge supposed to be, based on the emails themselves? There isn’t much “new” because already it’s long been well-established that Hunter Biden was making a lot of money from b...

I think the emails are likely legit, based on their content and the response from the Biden campaign. Funny, lots of people working at the Post thought they were bogus. https://twitter.com/existentialfish/status/1317944813732450307?s=20 Again, if they are bogus why hasn’t Hunter Biden, the Biden Ca...

Joe K

I think the emails are likely legit, based on their content and the response from the Biden campaign. Read that NPR story. The story is bullshit. Hunter Biden took a laptop to a repair shop and never picked it up. The Shop Owner (who isn't sure who dropped it off) then passed it along to the FBI an...

Joe K

What exactly is the "disinformation" theory? Is it that (A) Russia (or someone else) forged the emails altogether; or (B) Russian hackers (or someone else) illegally obtained real emails that were then fed to Giuliani? Because if scenario A happened, I think you'd see a lot more forceful d...

I’ll never forget watching the epic Will Smith showdown.

Its probably the weed talking, but getting melancholy thinking about Thornton moving on from the Sharks to the Leafs. I met him once, on a plane, and he was a really cool dude. Pretty much one of my two favorite athletes, ever. Who is the other you fucking tease? I'm guessing it's the iconic Bronco...

Joe K

Oh my fucking god stop. Ask all those same fucking questions then add in "those who are bankrupt with medical debt" and wonder why you aren't all-in for Sanders or someone who cares EVEN MORE about helping people beyond the EVEN MORE levels you love to point out. Every single fucking time...

Joe K

Right. Look at Biden and Romney. Their positions on abortion are almost exactly the same! And taxes! And healthcare! And worker safety! And civil rights! And environmental regulation! What does this even mean? Is Biden going to give Steve Schmidt veto power over appointments? Appoint Rick Wilson to...

Joe K

Please let them latch on to this. What a waste of effort and resources. This is literally the best idea they've got? Swear to God - it is far too late to change anyone's mind. Footage of Biden eating puppies, maybe. But this idiocy won;t make any difference. I think you’re probably right. I mean do...

Joe K

Or not. This is a good counter-point: https://twitter.com/Bernstein/status/1316464407426338818 Yeah, I think that’s a valid counterpoint that makes Twitter and Facebook look like they’re being inconsistent for political reasons. They didn’t censor links to the NYT’s stories about Trump’s tax return...

The terrible and biased data analysis in the tweets on this page are going to make my head explode. I'm sorry, a line chart of polling data does nothing to prove anything about why the numbers are there. It only proves that the survey data can be put on a chart. It most certainly says nothing about...

Arguing over CNN performances ffs. Yes, the public statements of the Speaker of the House regarding economic relief that would affect tens of millions Americans struggling to pay rent or afford food is surely a more frivolous topic than what people typically post about on message boards. Certainly ...

Pelosi and the House passed the heroes act months ago. It has been sitting on McConnell's desk for months. Th Dems want money for states that have been hit hard by the virus. The Repubs want money for a FBI building that has nothing to do with the pandemic. So the Senate is now trying to pack the S...

CNN is run by Jeff Zucker. The same Jeff Zucker that ran NBC when The Apprentice was on TV. CNN is the media equivalent of the gimp from Pulp Fiction .

How does this help anyone? Put it in one of thousands of mailboxes in texas. At least the lawyers get paid. The GOP calculus is that their voters are (1) less likely to care about social distancing, (2) more likely to live in rural or suburban areas where the crowds won’t be as big for in-person vo...

Honestly it’s pretty damn boring at this point. I watch a lot of tennis and I don’t think I’ve even watched a Nadal match at the French Open since 2007.
