Feck me, she and a few others are literally out of fecking control.
Is anything going to be done though?
Is it time for MTG, Boebert and Hawley to have their own thread?
They are quickly filling Trump's shoes and outdoing eachother with shittier and shittiee acts every single day. They are dominating the news cycles as well. I wonder how long they can sustain this and how bad it could get?
Absolute mentalist PoS.
feck the poor, nobody is allowed to do anything unless with my permission.
Ds are going to get obliterated in 22/24, and they will deserve it.

Reacting to a report in the New York Times that founding member John Weaver has been accused of sexually harassing young men while sometimes offering to help them get work in politics, the Lincoln Project has cut him off from the anti-Trump group saying they are "disgusted and outraged" by his alleged actions.
According to the Times, Weaver, "has for years sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received them, " adding, "His solicitations included sending messages to a 14-year-old, asking questions about his body while he was still in high school and then more pointed ones after he turned 18."
The report goes on to note that Weaver has been a high profile conservative consultant, having once advised John McCain's presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008 and John Kasich's in 2016.
The report notes that there are no accusations of sexual assault, stating, " ...none of the men accused Mr. Weaver of unlawful conduct. Rather, many of them described feeling preyed upon by an influential older man in the field in which they wanted to work, and believing they had to engage with his repeated messaging or lose a professional opportunity."
Extending their sympathy to the Weaver's victims, the Lincoln Project's statement claimed they are "absolutely shocked and sickened' by the news, adding that they feel "betrayed and deceived."

These are the good Republicans, apparently.
Can't get around the paywall, even in private window mode.
So not dressing up is male white privilege now? Or is it just a cantankerous old man who probably doesn't want to be outside for two hours in Washington DC in January so he wore a warm coat and mittens?
it's stupid, this was the type of nonsense that was in blogs and twitter when he ran against hillary 5 years ago, i thought it would finally end now.
This language, "space", "hold accountable", "validating", "trauma"... it really rubs me the wrong way. Not making a big point here, just that reading these things makes my skin crawl a bit.
It's early but I have no clue what you're trying to say with that?Y'all, this is SO IMPORTANT! So take a seat folks. Take several seats. After a period of self-care, AOC is sharing her lived experience - and doing so in a space that habitually centers the voices of white men. Gentle reminder that it's not her job to educate you. Trying to gaslight her is simply highlighting your toxicity and fragility. Do better. Now, let's unpack this and speak truth to power...

They're just in-group signifiers. It's why every lib suddenly has pronouns in their bio to show that they're part of thecultclub.
