READ: Senate Intel Concludes Russia Intervened In 2016 To Boost Trump | Talking Points Memo

Oh well, I guess they’ll just have to vote for the sociopathic, pathological lying, authoritarian crazy guy. What’s a midwestern gal to do.

what happened to Biden and wha is being attempted against Warren, is two very separate things.

Nor do they admit to the interview question asked of young women, “Do you plan on having children?”

Part of the problem with the attack is that even if Warren were outright lying, to a lot of people (especially women) her version of the story rings true.

Lines up well with Graham offering Rudy a chance to set everyone straight.

I guess Senate Intel forgot to talk to Rudy. I’m sure they’ll have to amend their report once the “truth” is out.

This is perhaps a better time for this report to come out than a year ago - if it doesn’t get lost in the fog of chaos.

It is, but my point was that no one is even talking about that now. These sorts of mini “scandals” pop up all the time, and part of being a good politician is being able to weather them.

Trump regime negotiators reportedly wrote favorable terms for American beef, pork and wine into the deal, but those terms only match the language of the Trans Pacific Partnership . They don’t surpass or fundamentally alter terms that were negotiated by the Obama administration.

Like Trump’s fake replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Trump’s copy-and-pasted deal with Japan also won’t become law until it’s approved by Congress and that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

If I were Liz, I would have a long LONG talk with David Ploeffe. And if he’s still smiling after a few hours (which he will be, I suspect) I would Carry On with my own smile.

Ploeffe will tighten up the ship, give some pointers and, in the meantime, Trump will be, basically, Running For His Life.

I think you probably misread what I wrote, but to clarify, I was saying the attack is weak because Warren’s version sounds true even if it were not true.

nope.

n again, anyone believing that she lied and there is no need for a deep dive, are idiots.

Yep. There have been many threads in The Hive attacking Joe Biden while Bernie and Warren seem to be on some sort of pedestal.

IMHO all of this kind of reporting emanates from deep within the bowels of a corrupt GOP and their satellite media outlets and is meant to dishearten and divide voters. The hope is that we’ll once again stay home and sit on our hands next November.

I don’t think she lied either, for the record. It was a hypothetical argument.

Yeah, today, that wouldn’t happen and a lot of younger women are only vaguely aware of the impact of pregnancy on a working woman back in the day. I don’t know how this story would resonate today unless those long-gone realities were described in stark detail.

Has the Senate Intel Committee shared this info with Lindz yet? He’s been making big plans with Spankee’s other stooge (Ghoulinai) for a dog and pony show in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

During 2d year of law school everyone interviews with law firms - it’s part of the ordeal. Every single interview I went on asked me if I intended to get married and have children. Every. Single. One.

I remember a story about a married couple who went to law school who were ahead of me. After graduation, he got offered attorney jobs. She got offered legal secretary jobs.
