I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."
It’s not just a strategic error (unless the strategy is to keep the neocon status quo in place even if it means more trumpian outcomes) but it’s a massive expression of contempt from the management class.
We are witnessing a massive strategic error by Democrats to support Jeffries. They are violating a crucial political rule for the left: be honest with people and treat them as adults. I explained why it matters in my recent essay Why Is Everyone Lying: https://t.co/5RldWyr1sa
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
This was no mere Live-Action adaptation. Oh no. This was an event! I have seen it more times than I can count. At one stage, the highest grossing independent film of all time.
I wrote a piece about the transformation of aging suburbs into immigrant communities, modern incarnations of the old Chinatowns or Little Italies. This feels to me like a really overlooked point that slips by all of the typical analyses.
Today in 1990, Darryl Strawberry joins the Dodgers in one of the most anticipated FA signing in team history. Expectations in LA were high with the addition of the 8-time AS. But after a strong first season, hopes soured as his production diminished the next several years.
@W0nderStress@AsadFromNYC Play ball in order to do what? Explain Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth then. They don’t play ball, they just fuck everything up, but we’re supposed to “play ball”.
@AsadFromNYC Nothing you just said is true. There’s plenty to criticize him about, and folks rightfully are, (some of it has worked, too) and if projecting into this fantasy that he’s omnipotent is what you need, then that’s on you.
Maaaaaaaaaan listen...I honestly think this is a top 5 remix EVER and I'm completely ok with being on an island with this jawn too! And then the video?!?!?! With Da Youngstas as REAL youngstas?!?!? STILL pissed that whole #nutass bank robbery DESTROYED his legacy smdh.
