All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

Justice Democrats is now facing a HUGE backlash for ousting Cenk From the board.
I don't think they expected this when they tossed him under the bus. He in NO way shape or form did anything to an ACTUAL woman during that time frame.
Geezus me and other women at work talk about other men and women sometimes. Wonder if that's gonna come back and haunt us in the future.
It seems everyone wants some lily pure people runing for everything.

Dr King had a bad past and even a current one when he was marching in Selma. He cheated on his wife, did that make him less of a Leader for Freedom and Rights?

Damn the witch hunts are getting crazy. I fully suspect rightly or wrongly the coming backlash is going to be swift and damaging to actual women coming forward in the future.
Hey, I stand with people actually being harassed and abused. But people are not even investigating, they are just hearing the accusation and tossing people out. Damn.

Creating a hostile work environment that objectifies women doesn't do anything to actual women. Check.

He still was a sexist p.o.s. as recently as 2012 when I worked with him so ....

Speaking of Senator Sanders, he just made an unforced error and praised the Trump Tax Scam. Expect the clip of him saying "that's a very good thing" to show up in many GOP campaign ads next summer and fall.

If he had been talking about the entirety or the plan(assuming you are talking "Tapper"/"State Of The Union"), you might have a point.

Meanwhile, this is what actually happened...

"Meanwhile, at the end of 10 years, well over 80 billion Americans are paying more in taxes. Thirteen million Americans, as a result of this legislation, lose their health insurance. Health premiums are going up. You've got a $1.4 trillion deficit as a result of this bill. And [Speaker] Paul Ryan [R-Wis.] is going around saying 'Oh, we have to offset that deficit by cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid,' " he continued.

"To answer your question, should we have focused on the needs of the middle class? We should have," he said.

Yes, because there is no way to end the clip after the first fucking thing he said in an ad.

Oh, wait.

[PaulBullion]

And since when is Bernie a "tax cut" guy, anyway? How are we going to have universal health care, free college AND tax cuts? How abut ponies? Can we have ponies too?

Sounds like a brilliant plan.

Not like Tapper has an actual show on television where he could point out that your "Ad" was only a single piece of what actually happened.

Also not like Tapper seems to love doing that very sort of thing.

Should White Supremacists Be Allowed To Practice Law?

The legal profession is supposed to weed out people who aren’t morally fit to be lawyers. But they let neo-Nazis in. Well now, isn't THAT interesting, in a reprehensible way.

The top 10 House races to watch in 2018 http://politi.co/2kTPThu via @politico

They should have included the NJ seats. There are 5 Republican Seats up and 7 Democratic. The Democrats stand a good chance of keeping their seats, the Republicans are going to have tough fights in at least 3 of the 5, if not all five races in 2018. The most hard fought races are likely to be in Districts 11 and 7 which are races with traditionally higher numbers of Reblican voters. But that is changeing.

In District 7 there are already 7 Democrats and 1 Republican challenging Leonard Lance for the seat.

In District 11, there are 4 Democrats and 1 Republican going after Rodney Frelinghuysen's seat.

Just about every Democratic-held Seat has no registered challengers from the Republicans.

The Trump team has a long history of attacking Andrew McCabe, the FBI official reportedly set to retire

On Saturday, Trump celebrated McCabe's prospective retirement, hinting in tweets that the news confirmed his suspicions that the FBI official was biased against him.

But several reports pointed out that news of McCabe's imminent retirement is likely prompted by the fact that he's about to become eligible for his full pension benefits.
