on a more general note, it kinda bothered me to see how the DNC are ignoring their young multi-cultural progressive members.
The future of the party is being ignored because the old crusty front think they know what's best.
Lets give anti choice republican John Kasich 20 mins and give AOC 60 seconds...
They never learn.
I hope the likes of Schumer gets booted the next time he's up.
Senate majority leader Warren has a nice ring to it.

Disappointed in him, been impressed in how he acted and how he came out and fronted the issues at the height of the crisis.

Should have waited a few years.

Some of his press conferences were good but he has repeatedly passed the buck on the initial awful phase “nobody told us it was going to come from Europe” is pretty weak tea for a communicable disease in the age of international travel.

I don’t think he should have tried to make money off the tragedy at all.

Are they going to put back the mailboxes and reassemble the sorting machines?

Tbh I can believe the reduction in mailboxes might have been a genuine efficiency measure. Can’t remember the last time I used one but for sure it has been years and suspect in my area I’m not alone so making them less prevalent wouldn’t have surprised me in a different admin.

The sorting machines seem far less easily explained, along with the drastic cut in overtime, just prior to the election. Of course the cherry on top was Trump’s own comments.

Holy Shhhhhh.....from Wikipedia:


Laura Elizabeth Loomer (born May 21, 1993) is an American political activist, conspiracy theorist,[1] and internet personality known for her far-right politics[a] and commentary. She was a reporter for Canadian far-right website The Rebel Media during the summer of 2017, resigning that September.[2][3][4][5][6] Prior to June 2017, she worked for Project Veritas with James O'Keefe.[3] Loomer is banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Medium, GoFundMe, Venmo, MGM Resorts, PayPal, Lyft, Uber and Uber Eats.[7] She was also banned from the March 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after she attempted to confront reporters by chasing them through the conference.[8]

Loomer won the August 2020 election primary to become the Republican candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives against Democratic Representative Lois Frankel in Florida's 21st congressional district — President Trump's home district.[8][9]

Amazingly Wiki entry omits one of her more infamous stunts!

Far-right activist Laura Loomer cuffed herself to Twitter's NYC headquarters; police removed her

Twitter banned Loomer a week ago after she tweeted that Congresswoman-elect Ilhan Omar was anti-Jewish and pro-Sharia law.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

Far-right activist Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to Twitter's New York City headquarters for about two hours on Thursday afternoon to protest the company's banning her from the social media platform, then asked police to remove her.

Loomer attached herself to the building's front door, blocking the entrance to the building in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood in a protest that was livestreamed on Periscope, which began at about 3:45 p.m. ET.


The video stream showed Loomer wearing on her chest a yellow Star of David such as many European Jews were forced to wear during the Holocaust, and a sweatshirt that read on the back, "#STOPTHEBIAS."

edit I’d forgotten she’d done it in November without a coat!

This thread is one of multiple in the twitter war between Steve Schmidt on one side, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rick Scott on the other. It is epic and it is glorious. A no-holds-barred eviscerating of three of the craven cowards in the Senate.

I'm getting fat on all this popcorn I'm eating while watching "Republicans" and "ex-Republicans" slap each other.

There’s no slapping going on in that thread. Schmidt is just out there throwing (and landing) haymakers like he’s Mike Tyson circa 1988.
