@JakeSherman@JoeBiden Think there was a little sunshine-blowing by our prez on that one. If you are doing journalism legitimately, why would you care what either Biden or Trump say about you?
@mtaibbi Matt, this is a great question and helluva revealing thread. Many of the responses show it's about which "tribe" is perceived to benefit at a given time from a position evinced by @ggreenwald and not the nature of the position itself. Tribes are how they view the world.
@ggreenwald Nah, same as Yellen and her great speeches, Raytheon earned that money in a fair market transaction through their expertise and, really, just the overall superiority of their goods and services.
@davidsirota Dems like Pelosi act like they have been in power for twenty years. Does she realize Republicans had all branches as of 1/1/2019, and control more states and the judiciary for the foreseeable future? You would have never heard this crap from Dems in, say, the 1960's.
@davidsirota This was the most explicitly politically-targeted tax bill I've seen in my lifetime, toward rich business and real estate owners, against professionals (who tend to have more education), and against Dem states like NY and CA (thru the SALT limit). Kessler is a joke.
@ggreenwald No one in their right mind buys that this is anything other than a bribe. While some elites know they're b-s 'ing, others I'm sure are convinced of one another's superior market value in much the same way Trump's underlings were in religious awe of him.
@RoKhanna You've got to do something to bring medical costs under control and care available to everyone. As it stands now, it is simply unsustainable and the party in power will always be blamed for it, as they should be.
@kronstein99 @IrzykJj @_waleedshahid @TahanieNYC @BrooklynNets@lsarsour Crap logic there. Injustice going on anywhere else in the world doesn't make Israel any less Apartheid.
@RepKenBuck @JoeBiden Sounds like yet another threat from the far-right that if things don't go your way, there will be more violence. You made this bed and we all have to sleep in it, you POS.
@jayrosen_nyu Probably more specific to some on your list, but the role of private military and security entities, if any; why credible warnings were ignored and responses were in stark contrast to the BLM protests; and what actually happened, what was taken, inside the various offices.
@JonWalkerDC Besides, the Dems are < 1 week out of holding slim majorities in both houses, many went to bed Nov 3 thinking Trump was going to win, Repubs retain strong majorities in the states; and Dems act like the Repubs are at death's door and need resuscitating. Not the 1st time either.
@CoriBush I would also find out which members were able to get out early or were not in their offices yesterday. Have a feeling it is a lot of the same people.
