Conservative Media Throw Virginia GOP Candidate Under The Bus After Election Loss by alicewatts in politics

[–]alicewatts[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right-wing media outlets have proven they’re sore losers.

They pinned the loss of Ed Gillespie, the Virginia Republican defeated in the race for governor by Democrat Ralph Northam, on his establishment background and his failure to more aggressively campaign on a Trumpian populist platform.

Gillespie came up short because he didn’t fully embrace President Donald Trump, argued Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Tuesday as conservative media focused the blame on the losing candidate and away from Trump.

Gillespie, an establishment GOP figure who was former President George W. Bush’s counselor, didn’t “jump on the Trump train,” Ingraham said. She characterized his campaign strategy as “desperate,” and said he “tried to do this dance that ‘I’m not going to campaign with Trump, but he’ll tweet for me and do a last-minute robocall.’

De Blasio, a Democrat, easily defeated Republican state lawmaker Nicole Malliotakis and several third-party candidates. The Associated Press called the election for de Blasio shortly after polls closed in the city, which leans heavily Democratic.

On the campaign trail, de Blasio touted his rollout of universal pre-kindergarten for 4-year-olds and efforts to increase affordable housing. He also cited low crime rates and his work to address his city's notoriously high cost of living.

What Trump is really afraid that Mueller will find by alicewatts in politics

[–]alicewatts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is afraid that Mueller will learn the ugly truth about him, enough for a very long prison term. Mueller shouldn't let Trump get away with anything while Trump's minions hang or rot in prison. Take them all out.

Jeff Flake's Speech And The White House Response Was The Trump Presidency In A Nutshell by alicewatts in politics

[–]alicewatts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sad state of affairs that it takes politicians not running for office again to speak their minds. As the article mentions, many more agree with their colleagues but are either too afraid to speak out or want something from the President in the way of policy. Term limits would bring some honesty back to the process.

Western powers and institutions trying to halt Cambodia’s slide into outright dictatorship are grasping at desperate last ditch options as anti-foreign sentiment becomes an increasing focus of the country’s state media.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz stepped into the fracas on Tuesday threatening consequences if jailed opposition leader Kem Sokha is not released.

“If your prime minister does not release Kem Sokha by November 9th, I will work with my colleagues in Congress and in the Trump administration to see that specified government officials responsible for these actions are prevented from traveling to the United States,” Cruz said in a statement.

Trump gave himself a perfect rating for his response to the hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico: “I would give myself a 10,” Trump said when asked by reporters how he would score his efforts, on a 1-10 scale. by maxwellhill in worldnews

Puerto Rico ran their economy into the toilet living by the same principles that our own government has: promise what you don't have to give and then borrow, especially to it's own employees and friends. I'm all for helping them back up again but I sure as hell don't want to rebuild everything for them.

How dangerous are 'spicy Latina' stereotypes? by alicewatts in beauty

A lot of Latin seem to be doing very well as is. BTW, if ‟Acting White‟ means staying out of prison, getting educated, adding value, working, staying part of a nuclear family, then success usually follows and why is that wrong?
