All purpose news and politics thread part v: The quickening

[Billy Batson]

I know why Kamala Harris was my top pick in the primaries.

Kamala Harris just convinced Senate Republicans to put Trump judicial appointments on hold pending the impeachment trial and that’s one of the most consequential things Democrats have won from Republicans in a while.

It's also more than Bernard Sanders accomplished in decades in the Senate.

Too bad about her criminal justice record.

Bizzare

Fun game: Search #QAnon on Facebook and Twitter and tweet to those lunies that:
Both Trump's new lawyers Starr and Dershowitz were previously members of the Epstein defense team.

Exhibit A for why Kamala Harris sucks ass.

Trump's judicial appointments will still go through, but it will take a little longer.

The most notable thing Harris has done lately is delay the inevitable by a few weeks. Maybe a month.

No wonder she was polling lower than Andrew Yang in her home state.

Who would you say your top 5 female politicians are, and why?

People should care less about candidate's gender and more about politics.

Alan Dershowitz Distances Himself From Trump Legal Team: ‘I’m Not a Full-Fledged Member’

He sounds more like a witness than a member of the defense team

Alan Dershowitz clarified his role on President Donald Trump’s legal defense team in an interview with Mediate founder Dan Abrams Friday, stating he is NOT a “full fledged” member of the impeachment defense.

Dershowitz said on The Dan Abrams Show on SiriusXM’s POTUS Channel, that he will just provide an hourlong constitutional defense of the president before the Senate as Trump goes on trial next week.

“I think it overstates it to say I’m a member of the Trump team. I was asked to present the constitutional argument that I would have presented had Hillary Clinton been elected and had she been impeached,” Dershowitz said.

“I was asked to present my constitutional argument against impeachment,” he continued. “I will be there for one hour, basically, presenting my argument. But I’m not a full-fledged member of the defense team in any realistic sense of that term.”

So a Nazi sympathizer rather than a Nazi?

I love that you have your utopias.

Meanwhile, in the real world, I would like to know which female politicians he respects the most.

This feels extra petty, announcing this on Michelle Obama's birthday.

I don't have a top 5 politicians because I don't treat politicians like trading cards.

I love that you have your utopias.

Meanwhile, in the real world, I would like to know which female politicians he respects the most.

I'm not a "he".

I'll remind you again that Bernie has more women supporting him than any other candidate running.

If you want a list of women politicians I respect, here are some.

AOC
Tammy Baldwin
Nina Turner
Ilhan Omar
Rashida Tlaib
Pramila Jayapal
Barbara Lee

This won't be obvious to someone that makes menopause jokes but ranking women is not respectful.

[SquirrelMan]

The Trump cabal has announced plans to role back Michelle Obama's school lunch rules, bringing back fries instead of veggies.
They are doing so in Mrs. Obama's birthday.

[SquirrelMan]

"Ranking women is not respectful" is the new "did you just assume my gender?"

[Superbat]

"Ranking women is not respectful" is the new "did you just assume my gender?"

"Did you assume my gender" is a "joke" made at the expense of trans non-binary people.

Pointing out to someone that has made sexist comments in the past that ranking women is sexist, is not something said at the expense of women.

[SquirrelMan]

Spectacular.

And if I ever made a post mentioning menopause (and I don't remember doing so, but I am sure you went through all my post to find some way for an ad hominem attack), I only did so in the most respectful and constructive way. I have several menopausal women in my life whom I love dearly. And their heat flashes are saving me money on my heating bill.
