Good. The more people hear this from the likes of Tlaib the more moderate voters will not associate Biden with this wing of the Democratic Party.

This won't help, all this will give is that the average voter will see biden as a incompetent idiot that own party is in a ideological civil war with one half hating him, Meanwhile they will see trump and his party almost completely unified behind him and stable, might not be true but that will what voters will see.

The GOP is not unified behind Trump. He has underperformed in every primary

I can feel you're not fond of Godoy lol.

Au contraire, I sort of respect his magnificent bastard qualities. But man are the historical sources - and every single book I read to prepare - rough on him!

Truer words have never been uttered before the LNC

Trump obviously is a stupid moron, but it's honestly quite funny that he belittles them and doesn't back down.

He sounds and looks like a petty child when he tells them to keep getting 3%.

He is kind of right on that one. Though still overestimated them quite a bit.

Must be posting on different forums to the ones where I post.

I only post on the threads:

"People bitching about each other"

"People bitching about Fuzzy"

"People bitching about Trump".

"People bitching about people who bitch about Trump"

"People who bitch about Israeli's"

"People who bitch about Illegal Immigrants"

Why is tactical voting is so much less effective in NI than in England?
It's easy to see a theoretical path where SDLP/SF would carve up West of the Bann, and Alliance/SF dominate the East, yet this is never considered.

Why would Alliance ever make a deal with Sinn Fein? The core of their support is moderate Unionists who probably hate Sinn Fein even more than the DUP.

If the members of both parties could stomach it, strategic Alliance-SF dropouts would bring down the DUP very effectively since their heartlands have almost no geographic overlap.
e.g. the 3 Antrim seats to Alliance, and East Derry & Upper Bann to Sinn Féin.

Neither party would want that, and their voters would not vote in that manner. In particular, the idea that Alliance voters would have *Sinn Féin* as their second choice is utterly bananas.

I don't even see how an originalist argument could uphold a punishment like this under the Eighth Amendment. This isn't really an area of the law I'm too familiar with, but from what I've read, chemical castration is an option for the convicted. Even then, it appears to be generally reversible. For obvious reasons, surgical castration is not reversible.

I have to say a law like this is really disturbing.

Chemical castration as far as I know isn't even administered by the government in those cases - sex offenders voluntarily undergo it through non-government medical providers of their choosing. Government actors doing that would still give me pause, considering it's been used in the past to punish homosexuals (Alan Turing being a famous example.) Louisiana's legislature is doubtless full of people who think drag queens are "groomers" and I have absolutely zero confidence that this idea wouldn't be abused even if I agreed with it in principle (I do not.)

I think Turing was "voluntarily" chemically castrated, as in he was given the choice between prison or chemical castration. Obviously I hope that America would never criminalize homosexuality again, but I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that Republican judges would prevent that from happening.

Even we are talking about actual sexual predators, I don't like the idea of the government deliberately damaging a person's body as punishment. If you really stop and think about it, there is no difference between this bill and some medieval Arabian kingdom severing the arm of a thief. It genuinely makes me more uncomfortable than the death penalty, although I have recently come around to being nearly 100% opposed to that too.

Absolutely shameful levels of irresponsibility. Undermining the current Democratic nominee should be grounds for severe disciplinary measures by the party (and please note that applies to Manchin sh**tting on Biden on Fox News as well).

I agree with fuzzy. Shame to the victim for believing even for one moment that the cops were normal human beings and not a pack of sociopathic jerks who'd throw their own mothers under the bus if that gave them a "confession".

I've not said this.  This is not normal operating procedure for police, but these guys were running a psy-op, which is something very different from normal interrogation. 

lol what a pathetic performance by Trump.

She is for DSA, not for the DNC....

I´m  surprised why AIPAC hasn´t recruited and funded any black democrat to primary her.

Supporting genocide of Palestinians isn't a winning issue in the Democratic primary.

Even AIPAC knows that.

The ads that AIPAC runs aren't about Israel.

AIPAC support pro Israel candidates. These candidates usually also have other strenghs and their opposition usually also have other weakneses.

Well, House members are supposed to representate their district, be the voice of them and
their interest to the country.
Tlaib kind of does that by representive Dearborn interests, but there are more areas in the district. Inkster, west Detroit, Southfield, etc. Her district is 45% black accoding to DRA.
Now, Tlaib's stances on domestic issues appealing to a good part of the black and white democrat electorate there. That´s her main appeal. The way to confront her on that would be running someonw with "experience getting democrat goals done".
Kinniebrew isn´t a bad fit like Dolan, but he isn´t a strong candidate. He can´t run on any record agaisnt Tlaib. I can see him trying to make himself better know for 2026, and get some ties for the next primary...
