How Donald Trump’s bizarre voter-watch effort could get the GOP in trouble

 

Face palm.

Still not deleted ...

 

Well, at least she's found the right employer. Really a feel-good story.

In Connecticut, I've seen Democratic candidates for governor and state representatives be listed under both the Democratic Party and the Working Families Party. Not sure the reason for it.

Corbyn on entryism: Tom Watson is talking nonsense – and he knows it

 

Does Labour have a chance of victory under Jeremy Corbyn?

I can't stand Jess Phillips.

 

I kind of liked her when she was first elected, but she's started to grate on me since then. Birmingham doesn't have a great record with Labour MPs, hah.

 

She's a good example of the many Labour MPs that have not supported Corbyn, despite his huge mandate. In an interview with Owen Jones last year, she said she would "stab Corbyn in the front, not the back". What kind of message does that send to the electorate? The actions of MPs like her over the last year are the reason why Labour aren't doing so well in the polls right now imo. At this point it's fairly obvious that she never intended to show Corbyn any support and was just waiting for someone to launch a leadership challenge against him.

 

lol

 

I mean, she's not wrong.

 

While a failure at a plant can be catastrophic, it's not to the degree she's trying to insinuate (think it shows more of her misunderstanding of science) -- a plant can't/doesn't make weapon grade nuclear material.

 

The Perfect GOP Nominee: Hillary


"They already have a 1-percenter who will be totally fine in the Oval Office, someone they can trust to help Wall Street, boost the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, cuddle with hedge funds, secure the trade deals beloved by corporate America, seek guidance from Henry Kissinger and hawk it up — unleashing hell on Syria and heaven knows where else."

"each and every "next big thing" is increasingly reliant on worker abuse."

 

And of course people are like "don't work for them if it's not worth it, stop whining" how fucking blind do you have to be.

AirBnb, Uber, all they are is a new way to cheat laborers, they just use the internet and on demand hiring to mask that and people love it.

 

"We want the chance to listen to everyone individually"
"NO -- WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING"

 

Obviously her hyperbole is an issue but I wouldn't tell the victims of Fukushima or Chernobyl that a nuclear plant is as safe as, say, a hydrodynamics plant. I think she understands the science fine, it's the delivery of her message that's been a recurring problem.

 

If we hold her to the same standards as other nominees (not saying those standards have been met though) we shouldn't have to guess at what exactly she means. I think she understands it too but I want to be sure of that.

 

I didn't really have a problem with the "stab him in the front" thing, at least at the time, although it's debatable whether she's stayed true to that by now. I think she's gotten more and more hostile towards the current leadership for reasons that don't necessarily seem that well-reasoned, and in retrospect stuff she's said and done in the past is more questionable. I've gone back and forth on whether she is at least well-intentioned on some level or if she genuinely is just disingenuous, either way she's pretty frustrating.

 

Okay, Donny
