  • That’s what they’re referencing, but the idea that you can just start and stop a war every 60 days and it’s a new clock is ridiculous and defeats any concept of congressional power over war making.

    Trump is making a perverse legal move and Politico is validating it without question. They’re not even appealing to some convenient experts with a “lawyer says”. Just stating it as fact.








  • The Nazi theory isn’t stupid because no one would lie. It’s stupid because someone who wanted to lie about their beliefs wouldn’t keep a visible mark of their secret evilness until after launching the high profile campaign and getting caught. Also in his years of shit posting and edgy comments when he thought he was anonymous and wasn’t planning to run for office, he’d probably have said something worse than “why don’t black people tip better”.

    Fetterman has brain damage and is still worse for conservatives than if he served his secret cause by just losing. Platner got undone by being a sex pest and again could have served the secret masters better by just staying in and losing.

    So yeah, someone might ask that question, but they’d look like a nut who doesn’t think through their conspiracy theories very deeply.

    What both Fetterman and Platner have in common was extremely effective campaigns against the Democratic establishment. Hire some extra background checkers or even just use them for campaigning alone if you think their candidate selection is bad. This petition is asking people who have already been selected or who have self selected to not work with him.

    It’s just dumb.









  • The establishment can definitely find 500 hand-picked people to decide who the voters should have chosen. And that person is definitely going to lose if Platner and his team don’t enthusiastically support them.

    The establishment is just too fucking greedy. They could have just done some back channel communication with Platner and then moved forward together like they were a team, but instead they’ve been sniping him in the press like being a shitty man means the primary doesn’t count. Could have even done a new primary with him just endorsing someone and give the choice the legitimacy of a vote.

    But instead they want to be the ones to decide. Even reserving 100 seats just for themselves in addition to presumably tilting the selection process in their favor. They’d rather lose than give up control.
