Mad props to Beto. He's put the GOP on the defense, with a powerful and consistent attack. One based in not only emotion, but reality. The Dems need to learn from it.

Dems need to learn from her, not ****ing Eric Adams.

Mad props to Beto. He's put the GOP on the defense, with a powerful and consistent attack. One based in not only emotion, but reality. The Dems need to learn from it.

Also, that the GOP can't just hide behind their "Blue Lives Matter" flag here helps.

True. But too many Dems would see that as a no go zone. Beto is pressing the advantage for the betterment of the country. Not much more you can ask for, from your politicians.

The one issue Beto is good for is gun control. I just hope he can get somewhere with that passion cause our state needs it.

Associated Press - Clinton 2016 campaign lawyer acquitted of lying to the FBI

Data published by the Pew Research Center in 2019 highlighted how federal prosecutors have a 99.6% conviction rate. To put those numbers in perspective, U.S. Attorneys filed 79,704 cases in 2018. Of those, only 320 resulted in acquittals.

Pew Research Center - Only 2% of federal criminal defendants go to trial, and most who do are found guilty

So Trump grievance warrior Durham ends his first case with egg on the face.

This article pretty well lays bare the argument Manchin voted selfishly for his own greed against climate change proposals.

Did Joe Manchin block climate action to benefit his financial interests?

A former Dianne Feinstein staffer insisted that keeping the 'diminished' 88-year-old in office is 'better than a junior California senator'

I'd rather have a potato in office than Feinstein.

I think they're afraid of someone who may actually vote or lean more "Left"-ward than her. She's actually a Conservative Democrat.

They enjoy protecting their own. That way their own positions aren't threatened.

Ocasio-Cortez in ‘mini-rant’ criticizes Democrats for railing against ‘Latinx’ term

I mean, at the moment, it doesn't seem like there is much difference.

Ocasio-Cortez in ‘mini-rant’ criticizes Democrats for railing against ‘Latinx’ term

Pretty much no Latinos use this newly invented term and so I won't and don't and it's also silly for a member of Congress to fixate on. As a politician you need to pick your causes and debates wisely and this is not one of them.

About One-in-Four U.S. Hispanics Have Heard of Latinx, but Just 3% Use It



Look it's possible that ‘Latinx’ will one day be adopted widely by Latinos, but in the meantime it's like trying to make 'Fetch' happen (Mean Girls) while turning massive amounts of Latinos and everyone else off.

Whoever wins it's a thankless job without much potential for advancement. The job of mayor isn't to be super ideological - that's state and federal office. I probably would have ranked Garcia first and Wiley second. Adams and Yang act too eccentric for me, I don't know why us dudes have to act like buffoons. No real love for whoever wins, the job of NYC mayor is to be generally hated with exceptions.

NY1/Siena College poll finds pessimism about NYC's future and Adams

And what about Adams, who’s at the helm of the city? His job approval rating is deep underwater. Just 29% rated his performance as good or excellent, while more than twice as many (64%) said he’s doing fairly or poorly.

This was always inevitable for whoever became mayor absent a catastrophe like 9/11. That's why acting like Adams had some secret sauce when he barely defeated Garcia was silly. (Garcia joined the Hochul administration in the state government.)

I mean, he's a cop. What did they expect?
