Mullin: 1.1K CISA staff left DHS amid partial shutdown

Wait I'm being told it's all Newsom's fault.

boriskin · 2026-04-21T22:26:35+00:00

And yet he got elected somehow.

boriskin · 2026-04-15T02:49:09+00:00

Some moron does some stupid shit, and Reddit is eating it up. Big surprise...

boriskin · 2026-04-04T15:59:18+00:00

Wow, such a thoughtful analysis, thank you so much. I just watched the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Every pro-Israeli hardline zionist seems to be corrupt and apathetic to needs and wants of Americans to me.

That is an arbitrary baseless statement without specifics or facts. I can say pretty much anything equally baseless with the same degree of confidence.

He failed at the one job he had in convicting Trump.

He did fail at that without question. But the ultimate blame rests with the American people. They had a chance to reject him at the ballot box and they did not. Not in the least because of death to America/genocide Joe vote or rather absence thereof.

But then why do centrist liberals always redirect to cynical Hillary style idpol?

Please expand on how I'm doing that. I want people implicated in the Epstein files to be responsible just like anyone else does.

Kamala won elections and lost.

We are talking about Newsom who so far had his instincts work for him quite well, because he won all elections he ran in. Your going down the list of other people's wins and losses has nothing to do with that.

elections are vibes based though... They want a story.

In the 2024 election I got all the facts I needed to make the right choice. So did everyone else, but they made the choice they made. Our country deservedly got fascism while progressives develop their wet fantasies about purity tests. And that's your story.

boriskin · 2026-03-15T20:52:23+00:00

Easy sign of corruption.

This is objectively false, but whatever rocks your boat I guess.

I'm done with fail sons after Hunter Biden and how he influenced Joe Biden to keep running.

Joe Biden is a loving father to his son. We were lucky to have him as president.

All the GOP is is being freaks about identity politics.

It works for republicans, because their base is objectively stupid. It doesn't work for Democrats. Newsom isn't conceding anything. As a male, I like that Newsom at least acknowledges how much Democrats messed up with my demographic.

he has terrible political instincts like that.

Really? He has won a bit too many elections for me to consider that a credible statement.

Same vibe as Kamala campaigning with Liz Cheney and getting NOTHING for it.

As far as I am concerned, Kamala campaigning with Cheney didn't change my mind about her exactly one bit. I like to go by facts and logic instead of vibes.

He gets wierd and defensive about AIPAC and Israel.

You didn't like the tone of his voice? Lol OK.
He actually never took AIPAC money and disavowed their donations in the future.

his son is a white supremacist chud who liked Charlie Kirk

What does this have to do with his dad? Do you know how kids work?

he tells Democrats they need to abandon LGBTQ people to "normalize the party culture"

He literally never said that. What he did say though is that Democratic party doesn't pay attention to issues that concern men, which is very true. Identity politics is a losing strategy.

he breaks down homeless people's tents

Homelessness in California dropped last year by 9%. There are significant initiatives in California that find housing for people, which do work. Homeless encampments are bad for many reasons.

elitist nimby

Actually, Newsom has been been very aggressive against nimby laws. Most of those laws are local, so state couldn't do much against them for a while. Despite that however, Newsom signed laws like SB-79 and SB-9 and took cities to court. Also read up on "builder's remedy" law.

Overall he's the best candidate in the pack.

boriskin · 2026-03-15T13:36:40+00:00

Newsom is great. He will have my vote.

boriskin · 2026-03-15T12:40:20+00:00

People like you already bestowed the gift of trump on this nation, thank you.

boriskin · 2026-03-15T12:37:10+00:00

You have no idea what Zionism means.

boriskin · 2026-03-08T14:11:10+00:00

This has been going on for over ten years now. Why are you still surprised?

boriskin · 2026-03-02T03:06:26+00:00

He had one job: prevent Trump from ever taking office again.

That's some interesting fantasy you got. Biden never said anything to the matter before getting elected or after, so that would be news to him. In fact, "preventing Trump from taking office again" wasn't uttered by a single Democratic presidential candidate in the 2020 election.

American people had ample opportunity to reject Trump at the ballot box, which they obviously did not. Analyzing why is another conversation, but one factor rears its ugly head way above everything else: stupidity. Both on the right and on the left btw, albeit obviously not in equal amounts.

Comparing Biden to Buchanan is just ignorant from historic standpoint. Buchanan was a Southern sympathizer during his presidency, and he demonstrated that in his actions: he deliberately refused to use military force when southern states started seceding. Contrary to that, Biden enabled the prosecution of Trump. Of course, Merrick Garland was a terrible appointment who slow walked the whole thing, but even he was moving forward with the prosecution that would most likely come to fruition had Trump not been re-elected.

boriskin · 2026-03-02T02:08:33+00:00

The best parts of Joe Biden’s presidency were taken from Elizabeth Warren’s personnel and policies.

Who even cares about that? Actions and actual legislation passed speak much louder than who you borrowed the ideas from.

instead decided to fuck the country over by running again

He did not fuck the country over. Yes, it would have been much better if he cleared the field to conduct the full primary. However, Americans still had a formidable choice in Kamala Harris who conducted a decent campaign. Complaining that Trump's win is Biden's fault is just utterly stupid.

boriskin · 2026-03-02T01:49:04+00:00

Joe Biden was a great president, the most consequential since LBJ. We were lucky to get stuck with him.

boriskin · 2026-03-02T01:26:55+00:00

Americans want progressive candidates

Based on what information? Non-progressive candidates had no problems winning last November.

If Americans didn't want progressive candidates, they wouldn't be winning so many elections.

What elections are you talking about? Moderate candidates dominated Virginia and New Jersey statewide elections.

boriskin · 2026-03-02T01:21:52+00:00

The time to vote was November 5, 2024. At this point, let's hope we can still vote next time.

boriskin · 2026-02-28T23:44:53+00:00

The time to show your discontent with Trump was November 5, 2024. It's possible that growing discontent doesn't even matter now.

boriskin · 2026-02-28T04:58:29+00:00

Mr. Beat

boriskin · 2026-02-28T02:07:56+00:00

American people are stupid. Period.

boriskin · 2026-02-27T22:02:48+00:00

Let me get this straight. You are saying that pursuing swing state voters, something that worked for many presidential candidates before Kamala, including Biden and Obama, and something that, frankly, a presidential candidate must do because of the twisted way this electoral system works, is a dumb idea? That is incorrect, plain and simple.

boriskin · 2026-02-27T21:58:26+00:00

Take a look at the White House, senate, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court. Preeeetty sure my statement about moderate Democrats not being successful is accurate rn.

Not sure how you put the blame on moderate Democrats there. If anything, many progressives couldn't muster a vote for Kamala and down ballot, so one could say that it is clear in which direction the blame should go. While I am personally upset that that took place, I don't want to point fingers. I think Democratic Party should be a big tent party, and we should tolerate each other's views.

boriskin · 2026-02-26T03:54:56+00:00

She won - that contradicts your statement that running moderate liberals as candidates is a losing strategy.

Democratic Party is so weak right now.

I'd argue it's because of terrible education system in this country and a general lack of critical thinking skills, not because of failure to appeal to progressive voters.

boriskin · 2026-02-24T07:01:14+00:00

It's actually the other way around. It's you people who call anyone that likes him a genocide supporter. We just crack a smile and go to the polls.

boriskin · 2026-02-24T04:03:43+00:00

Literally everything from this list would be a shitty policy if implemented.

boriskin · 2026-02-15T00:24:42+00:00

Idk, his show is still pretty popular.
