Now that Donald Trump has Won

Because he calls himself a “Democratic Socialist”? (although, in reality, he’s more like a Nordic-style Social Democrat, but I digress).

AOC, rookie mistakes and all, looks far better to me to carry the flag of the most progressive aspects of the Democratic party (though, again, she’s more of a Nordic-style Social Democrat than a Democratic Socialist). I used to like Bernie, but as more and more about him has come out, I’m no longer enthralled.

I mean I don’t, I like that he espouses an actual liberal agenda. I voted for him in the 2016 primary, but only as a way to endorse the platform - I was much happier voting for Hillary in the general.

But no, Sanders himself is an assbag and I wish anyone else would espouse his platform.

Like AOC.

Per AP

Rep. Tom Marino R-PA is retiring from Congress to pursue life in the private sector.

What stands out: Marino was in charge of Donald Trump’s Presidental campaign in PA, which is one of three states where Trump won by the narrowest of margins.

This could be someone fleeing a sinking ship, but it would not surprise me if he ended up in prison for reasons.

By “force” I mean for the use of the ABC app, which I have found convenient after downloading it from a shady APK store years ago (as they like to say, you can get ABC podcasts where ever you get your other podcasts from) . The other two I knew, but Sleek Geeks is new to me.

Looking forward to the Hottest 100 next week, too.

Edit: Muelller’s team released a statement disputing the Buzzfeed article.

Thank you. :one::five:

Sanders raised “talk not listen white guy” red flags from the outset.

Isn’t that even worse because it implies he was going to target those groups next? The democrats should dig their heels in harder when they hear something like that.

You wish this was an Onion piece…

This is the third or fourth time this dumbass idea comes around and every time it boggles my mind how little lawmakers know how computers, the internet, and the First Amendment work. It reminds me of an old Keeping Up Appearances episode where Hayacinth keeps trying to call the BBC to come install a device on the TV that automatically bleeps out curse words.

To be fair, the BBC does also claim to have TV detecting vans that work through a secret method they can’t reveal to anyone, and refuses to budge on this claim after it’s repeatedly been proven to be nonsense.

Still better than NHK’s army of farmed-out door-knocking scumbags.

Fair, at least a fictional van isn’t going to roll up to your front door and start and bothering you.

I suppose that’s one way to shut down an investigation, burn the whole system into the ground.

Now the question is: can they literally keep the government shut down until the next election?

I’m not a lawyer, but this smells a lot like witness tampering to me…
