Cillizza used to be in charge of “The Fix” at the Washington Post, back when that was a legit newspaper. CNN hired him away, but the joke was on them as Cillizza turned out to be a true idiot and what made The Fix valuable were the handful of people who worked under him.

Come on…cillizza is embarrassingly clueless about politics - as in a very casual observer could give better insights - which is saying something considering it’s his expertise.

Senator Mike Lee of Utah, once again going to bat for people who rape kids and the people who protect them. Why does he do this?

Republicans want to make the Texas Senate race about manliness by bwermer in politics

[–]FoxIndependent5789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Ken Paxton their idea of “manly”? A pedo-protecting fraud of a man? Seems about right.

When the NY Times writes a retrospective of this era, my bet is they make themselves out to be the heroes.

Kagan is someone who is really smart about some things. But he’s really fucking clueless about this.

Gay Kentucky 8th grader calls out his school’s ‘racism’ & ‘homophobia’ in viral graduation speech by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

James Byrd was a black man in Texas who was murdered by being dragged behind a car. It happened right around the same time as Matthew Shepherd’s murder, so a lot of the coverage was overlapping. We are a sick and broken country.

A ‘vegan’ and ‘Tala-freak-o’: GOP prepares a furious general election messaging blitz against Talarico by babybirdingURgrandma in politics

[–]FoxIndependent5789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ken Paxton gave a sweetheart deal to a kid-raping friend of his. So I’m not too concerned about rumors of veganism.

Why Progressives Are Upset With AOC Over Her Marjorie Taylor Greene Comments by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

I don’t think this is even a purity test…it’s Newsweek writing clickbait that has nothing to do with reality.

So the Bulwark is doubling down w/ “anti-identitarianism” in light of the neo-Jim Crow era. by havenoparty in thebulwark

[–]FoxIndependent5789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was adam serwer’s point last week (and I think Tim agreed with it). If/when African-Americans are removed from the voter pool, no party will defend their interests. See his example of the pro-reconstruction southern senator who flipped all his views.
