I feel like "Presidential Harassment" really misses the mark. The problem is no one can relate to it, because only one person in the country can be a victim of Presidential Harassment. Trump says that being Presidentially Harassed is a horrible thing, but how would anyone else know?

I dunno, maybe you should ask Obama, Carter, Clinton, and Dubya about this oddly specific issue.

I'm pretty sure Trump thinks they weren't Presidentially Harassed. Except maybe Bush.

Right, it's not like prominent people and media kept insisting or implying that the last president wasn't even a us citizen and couldn't be president.

Andrew Yang put up 10M for Q3. That's a massive increase from Q2 and it probably him in a position to be competitive.

I am hyped.

Iunno about that. Tulsi's been coming off very moderate lately, and has even began to dial back on her more progressive issues with more moderate qualifications, and has outright attacked more progressive candidates for being more progressive.

She is the poster child for "We must work with the other side and not do anything that might upset them," after all.

Been checking the aggregate these days watching Warren get competitive with Biden

got within 10 points last week (only happened 1 other time this campaign season by Bernie end of August)

and good god Warren keeps going -- halved that difference to a 4-5 point gap yesterday, and today halves it again to a 1.7 gap atm

I need that first stream crossing nowww

*edit* oh god again reminder debate in 2 weeks, come on Liz take that center podium from Biden

Tulsi is the only candidate who is not acting like a 8 year old kid doing anything they can to win a game of Halo.

She actually is trying to bridge the divide and unite America again. I commend that approach a lot. Too many people feed on divisive shit than actually on being a nation.

Or maybe to put it another way: right now the biggest threat to American democracy is Donald Trump and the Republican party that enables him. The way to work together as a nation is to end the Republican party, or at least to wrestle power away from Trump and hope that political forces cause some kind of reform within the GOP to occur.

When you have a losing position, you want to reach across the aisle to make a deal. When you have a winning position, you want to press your advantage.

Democrats shouldn't look at Republicans being unreasonable and conclude it must be right for them to also be unreasonable. That might be the right strategy, but it could be because Republicans believe they have an advantage for 2020 and are correct.

I mean sentencing in general should be much lighter than life in prison

But not an ideal place to start

Her brother said he forgave her, didn't even wish she was going to prison, and that he wished her the best life possible, as his brother would have, as he gave her a hug in the court room.

Given that it was reckless but not intentional, that seems like a pretty middle of the road sentence.

Well, by definition the jury doesn't agree with you. Reckless and not intentional would have been manslaughter not murder.

It was a tricky case.

Sorry, my language was imprecise. Not intentional in the sense that she didn't intend to commit a crime. Intentional in the sense that she intended to kill him.

Wooo. Dunno what is funnier. The resetera thread on Brandt Jean hugging Guyger or the Chris Evans Twitter being bashed by liberals because he said the hug and forgiveness was one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen.

Chris Evans is like straight up liberal and being attacked hardcore for it. Hell, the response "You are the ugliest thing I have ever seen" in response to his comment was a hell of a response.

Though a member of resetera saying they hope she gets her head bashed in probably is a cake topper.

Started with calls of I couldn't do it but he is a better man to me... To the outrage party in full effect.

Nothing funnier than a man getting murdered In his own home and his killer only getting 10 years max. Since his brother is apparently a saint, its an ok situation, even!

Imo the funniest thing is another dude getting 45 years for killing a police dog, because thats a real joke.

Murdering a police dog and other charges including robbery? What is your argument here?

You seem upset that the jury which was like predominantly black and women decided 10 years was an appropriate sentence.

I mean, the case was so iffy between a manslaughter and murder case that if she got murder you had to of been expecting a light sentence.

I think its more of a general frustration about how the poor murderer has it so hard and just the general way shes been treated during this.

People are rightfully mad at her, and it shouldnt be surprising that theyre frustrated when they see her getting hugs from the judge and victims brother.

How often does that happen to black male murderers?

Try to put yourself in their shoes.
