Doesn't seem to be much point in any of this. #M4All


Speaking not as a Democrat, but a furious North Carolinian, I can’t imagine a more sick, damning invalidation of a candidate: Trump has told a “barrage of lies” & become “one of the country’s leading deceivers” on the “response to Hurricane Helene” #ncpol cnn.com/2024/10/06/pol…

JD Vance acknowledges the cat and dog stories are urban legends and then rationalizes it (via CNN): “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."




Obama Admin's Ben Rhodes warns White House about potential for bipartisan war powers coalition over unauthorized conflict in Yemen "This has the potential to be one of those left-right issues... that's a dangerous place to be with Congress because you can get to a bipartisan majority pretty quick." "What you heard from @RepJayapal and @RepRoKhanna is there's consistency to their position. In the Trump years, there was a coalition of a lot of Democrats that opposed even the participation of the United States in the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen because there's no authorization from Congress. And I think it's really important whether you're talking about domestic laws related to war powers, or you're talking about foreign policy, that we can't change our positions just because the Democrat is president. And I'm sure the Biden people will mount an argument rooted in some form of self defense, ships are being attacked. Okay, but then take it to Congress."
