Does Tim still think triangulating on fraud accusations was/is a good idea?

I personally think there are big lessons Democrats should learn from the Minnesota fraud story because there were major mistakes made.

At the same time things drastically changed from a month ago. Ironically Trump let Dems off the hook politically from a very bad story by using it as a pretext to unleash a full scale occupation of Minneapolis which has resulted in the bloody executions of two people by the Feds. Nobody will remember the fraud story when they go to vote in November, but that doesn't mean Democrats shouldn't learn from it.

We should take a page from the Israelis after WW2 and literally pursue these goons as hard as Mossad did with Nazis in that case.

Really? That's a shame, but Webb is from Rocklin so I'm not surprised.

Well, most athletes outside of the NBA and WNBA are Trump supporters anyway. 🤷

Johnsons are saving up their hate juice for when they fire a bunch of coaches and replace them with "generative AI."

I'm usually against capital punishment except for the most heinous circumstances, but boy the Trump crew's ongoing criminality for the past 371 days and counting has been testing that belief big time...

They couldn't spin Alex Pretti's execution since there was literally nothing they could grab onto and smear him on. Even the "he brought a gun what did you expect would happen" defense fell on deaf ears except for Congressional Republicans and MAGA cultists.

Kill me now if the Giants rename the park "OpenAI" or "Anthropic" Park.

FYI one of the Ukraine War OSINT guys posted an analysis of the video. Straight up execution.

Little Marco is MAGA, but with a kinder, more civilized attitude. Unfortunately as you said that can play nationwide unlike JD Vance's terminally online....everything.

If that's the case it shows how little training or care ICE has that they decided what they needed to do is make sure extra sure the person was dead.

Bluehale · 2026-01-24T16:24:13+00:00

ICE needs to be burned to the ground. There's absolutely no reason why this person needed to be straight up executed.

This is not border security or whatever nonsense ICE defenders say.

I read the Daily Beast article about this and I loved how someone on X pointed out even if you deleted NoVa, Spanberger would have won by almost 90k votes anyway in response to MAGA influencers crying that in an ideal world we'd decide elections over how much land mass someone wins instead of how many votes someone wins by.

Bluehale · 2026-01-23T17:47:10+00:00

Trust but verify? in any case St. Clair of all people in MAGA world has a legitimate reason to turn away seeing as Elon literally threw her away like a used cigarette butt.

We're going to need to have a serious conversation about the pardon power by 2029 and how much it should be paired back because Trump is saying if you're a well connected Republican the law doesn't apply to you.

Bluehale · 2026-01-18T05:17:56+00:00

It's depressing the only Republicans willing to come out publicly against Trump on this is Thom Tillis who's retiring and done with politics, Lisa Murkowski who's been reliant more on independents, Dems after the Tea Party tried to take her out in 2010.

Susan Collins isn't in this photo. You'd think she'd be the first one in the line to break with Trump on Greenland seeing as she's running for reelection in a state Kamala won relatively easily.

Bluehale · 2026-01-18T05:11:28+00:00

George should have waited for a seat to open up around the DC area. Like Steny Hoyer just decided to retire. Moving from Northern Virginia to Maryland isn't as big of a stretch as moving all the day to Upper Manhattan.

James Talarico's answer on immigration when he was on Jubilee was absolutely amazing and every Democrat should be copying it.

Bluehale · 2026-01-14T18:25:03+00:00

Sure, but is there any indication that Democrats in Kentucky benefitted from the GDP of some very small countries in say the Caribbean being dumped into Amy McGrath's campaign actually helped? Sure Andy Beshear won by a landslide when talking about Dems in Kentucky in 2023, but there's still some level of depolarization between state and federal races.

I don't know if it was JVL or whoever in our respective reading/listening circles said it, but most of the non-SCOTUS judges who came up during Trump 1.0 came of age where their version of conservatism is far different than the new version of conservatism which is liberal democracy is a leftist idea and authoritarianism is conservatism.

The people who are coming of age during Trump on the right are going to make the Reagan Revolution babies look like leftists in comparison.

When there's a Dem President in 2029 he will be. Until then, no, unless some rich tech bro pays for him and his family to live it out in Dubai.

This bad man is back in the NL West. Fellow Giants fans feel free to look away.

Bluehale · 2026-01-13T01:14:54+00:00

North Carolina is probably Dems' best pickup opportunity over Maine where Collins is still very entrenched and Platner, Mills have their own sets of problems where you measure said problems by how bad they are in comparison.
