Progressives, part 3...

I agree she is a joke but to care about her test scores/intelligence and not trumps is stupid. Easily a draw 

Trump is playing 12D chess. The rest of you are playing checkers. 

Not sure if she is just plain stupid or she is using Trump play book to get massive amounts of free press.  Bad press is still better than no press

I think it comes naturally.  Probably why she couldn't get a real job.  Imagine interviewing her - you'd quickly realize she's crazy, or just plain stupid.

Oh, she's definitely on the Trump playbook of making shit up out the ass on a daily basis, being so out there that everyone has to stop and double-take at what you just said/tweeted/etc. With the added benefit of having a lot of people blindly supporting to the point that anything, no matter how crazy it is, will be automatically believed by them with no questions asked. Part of that swamp draining, I guess.

Anti-fascist tries to fire bomb detention center in Washington. Weird that this isn’t all over the news?

Also this weekend, a Colorado group is doing its best to get Trump re-elected by protesting an ICE office and removing the US flag and raising a Mexico one.

It's where people get the concept of "fake news" wrong. It's not how a story is covered (by now, people should be savvy enough to see through the biases), but in whether the story is covered. An alt-right hate group has a rally, hours of coverage. An alt-left hate group assaults a journalist or commits arson, silence.

Stricter gun laws would have prevented this...

For whatever reason, the Dems choose to ignore this.

The most alarming thing about that is that 22% of swing voters have a favorable view of AOC.  But probably like 10-20% of swing voters have a favorable view of Trump.

Just shows there are still a lot of stupid people out there.

EDIT:  1003 white likely voters with less than 2 years of college (i.e. Trump voters).  Makes that AOC number even more shocking.

FFS  Is he hoping to find Trump behind that, too?

My reaction was "typical liberal - federal govt is the answer for everything". 

Maybe see how NY handles NY's problem before demanding the feds come in.

It would seem that plenty of NY's problems are the result of NY trying to handle things.

Maybe getting someone else in there wouldn't be such a bad idea.  They're obviously not handling things well.

New 007.  Might as well go maximum wokeness and make her lesbian.  Make her transgender, too, and then we can still have James Bond.

Sure,  but perhaps not the federal Government, because we all know they would fuck that up.  Larry Sharpe had some good ideas on how to move NY (specifically NYC) to be privatized and run more efficiently.

From what I read she has the 007 code name and finds Bond to pull him out of retirement and take back 007.  If the ultimate plan is to transfer 007 from bond to this lady (or any other actor/actress that tries to appease the woke crowd), that will be a terrible idea and kill the franchise.  It might work for one movie, but it will wear off pretty quickly when the woke market, who has never had any interest in Bond, stops caring. Nobody is watching James Bond to get woke.  

If 007 is going that route, why not then make the actress that played Moneypenny, Naomi Harris, in the last two films take over?

Because in Skyfall she determined she was not meant for the field.  It's also not the purpose of Moneypenny's character.  It would be weird for Moneypenny to all of a sudden become 007 lol.

Yeah, but ehh, she could have easily decided to go back in the field in the upcoming film. Hey, it would be weird, but this news of the new 007 is just as weird.

Once they named her Moneypenny, that shit was out of the window.  Woman, man, transgender, black, white, asian, alien, etc.. it doesn't matter.  Anybody that is a fan of the franchise would not be ok with Moneypenny all of a sudden becoming 007.  It would be just as stupid if Q became the new 007.

I will wait and see what the plot will be for the new Bond movie.  I don't think this lady will end up being Daniel Craig's replacement.  It won't go over well.  

FFS, I can't even go to the damn farmer's market anymore!
