US Politics Thread

[Bigga]

I think both of you, @mat and @inbetween might be interested in watching the 'Bad Faith' podcast fronted by Brihana Joy Gray, former campaign leader of Bernie Sanders.

She's gone on to be further left of Sanders, but she's very intelligent and challenges the status quo. Her latest podcast with Kshama Sawant is a wealth of information from her guest.

Her podcast with Andrew Sullivan (who sounds like many on here), 5/6 months ago is, particularly, illuminating!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — politics is a circle, not a line.

Of course he doesn’t give one fuck about “working people”, but who cares, right?

MTG in court later today.

A US law allows any insurrectionist to be barred from running from office. That is the question at stake - is she an insurrectionist?.

She's got a very interesting constitutional argument against being banned from running as prescribed in the 14th Amendment. She claims not to be a Confederate which she believes absolves her of any guilt.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure her a Boebert were giving 'tours' of the Capitol building on Jan 5th for people who were later arrested for trespassing on Jan 6th at a time when tours weren't being done because of Covid protocols.

She should be asked point blank if she was the pre-insurrection Capitol Hill pipe bomber.

Bet she can't account for her whereabouts at the time.

Not sure if you are being serious with that comment or are saying it tongue in cheek. Having seen the video numerous times of the person planting the bomb I always thought it could possibly be a women, or a man with an effeminate walk.

MTG if far from effeminate.

I think it might be something to do with her 'vitamins' and exercise regimen.
