Ongoing Dem Debacle Thread: Commander will kill us all

Going to copy and paste from a thread about Pelosi trying to force FISA and PATRIOT Act reauthorizations through last night:

I just want to be extremely clear that right now Nancy Pelosi the so-called leader of "The Resistance" is actively trying to gut a bipartisan amendment that specifically protects journalists & religious groups from abusive surveillance, so she can reauthorize FISA & Patriot Act

Here's what's happening: late last night @SpeakerPelosi attempted to ram through a reauthorization of #FISA and #PatriotAct surveillance authorities. But she had to cancel the vote at the last minute when it became clear she didn't have even close to enough votes to pass it.

She's trying to blame that on Trump tweeting about it, but the reality is that the vote was going to fail anyway because the entire Congressional Progressive Caucus (nearly 100 member of the House) came out against the bill after Pelosi let @RepAdamSchiff gut a privacy amendment

Now @SpeakerPelosi is trying to do an end-run around her own party and is going to attempt to sneak the reauthorization through by using an obscure congressional mechanism to reconcile a previous version of the bill the House passed with the version the Senate passed.

In the process protections in the bill could get even weaker than they already are. She's explicitly threatening to gut Lee/Leahy amendment the Senate passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. It specifically protects journalists & religious groups from abusive surveillance

And to top it all off, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to be reauthorizing these surveillance authorities in the first place. and certainly not while an open authoritarian like Trump is in power. there is no evidence to suggest these mass government spying programs make us safer

Speaker Pelosi has a tremendous amount of power. She should be using it to protect the people the Trump administration is targeting, not hand the Trump administration more power to target them. Call your reps right the fuck now and tell them to oppose this

sounds a bit like Joe Biden holding domestic violence victims hostage to ram the 94 crime bill down our collective throats
 
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU ALL CRITICIZE THE PARTY OF DONALD TRUMP AND RACISM AS MUCH AS YOU CRITICIZE THE ONLY PARTY THATS FIGHTING FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND WOMENS RIGHT TO CHOOSE. YOUR PURITY POLITICS ARE ONLY GOING TO HELP DONALD TRUMP GET REELECTED
 
 
And companies need to stop blocking my ad blocker. I don;t want to see their shitty ads.
 
Re:ads

Built a PiHole and never looked back.

Rare that I get an ad on anything. Hulu being most of exception.
 
Don't take my word for it https://www.forbes.com/sites/billyb...e-chrome-users-a-reason-to-quit/#39b7563b4439

Google Chrome is the world's biggest internet browser with a staggering near-60% market share but new rivals are gaining ground amid rising privacy concerns.

This week, podcaster Joe Rogan, who has recently been thrust into the limelight after he signed a major deal with streaming service Spotify, revealed he uses the cryptocurrency-powered Chrome rival Brave to avoid internet ads and Google's overzealous tracking.

Hard to fathom the DSCC is backing Amy McGrath over Charles Booker in KY.

McGrath had to be begged by Schumer to run, Booker is running like his life depends on it.

Matt Jones just publicly endorsed Booker yesterday, same day that Booker announced his campaign had raised a million dollars

What a shock that Jones doesn't like McGrath.

"Jones blamed McGrath's campaign when he was replaced as host of WLEX's "Hey Kentucky!" TV program last August, though her campaign manager said they had no role in the decision."

Yep, he has an open mind. :bowrofl:
 
I don't know anything about Booker. But you have to admit, if someone believes one cost him/her their job, it's very likely the person who lost their job would support almost any opponent.

Would Danny Manning support John Currie or Ron Wellman?

He was thinking of running against her, so of course he doesn't agree with her candidacy. What's your point?
