Joy points out that Trump thinks the new Air Force fighter jet has Romulan cloaking technology and can’t be seen if it is right next to an enemy jet. Trump is an idiot!

Joy is filling in for Chris Hayes tonight.

And Maxine appears.

I love this.

Too soon (at least for me) to get a link.

It is just fun to hear Maxine and I include this comment so I do not forget about it.

For those who,like me,never bothered to check on his campaign positions on things until now, this article by Bill Scher @ Politico has a good laundry list of them and it's an interesting mix:

Why Conor Lamb (Probably) Won/Lessons from the Pennsylvania special election.

I would just add the cavaet that everybody should all keep in mind the "local, local, local' thing and also that if he tailored anything to the district in particular, this district will not exist very long....I think the only lesson should be that there is at least one item in his platform that would piss off each and every person on this website, i.e. perfect is the enemy of the good.

In reply to Heh, pitiful:

If that's true then voters prefer Trump policies from someone who isn't Trump or endorsed by him.

White House says Dem's upset win came from embracing Trump policies

@ TheHill

given that nearly the whole damn Trump tribe went down there to campaign. Some might actually buy it but only if Trumpco had totally stayed out of it and acted like they didn't care.

(no it wasn't Huckabee Sanders,it was White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah, he's looking to be the new Kellyanne!?)

Data shows that race played a major role in the white vote for Trump. It is ridiculous not to point out the obvious. Calling out racism is important. Calling out racism and bigotry was a major part of the message of Martin Luther King Jr. Hearts of whites were changed by calling out racism. King called out so-called moderates who were silent. There are many Republicans like Charlie Sykes and Jennifer Rubin call out racism that is allowed to occur in the Republican Party. Micheal Steel was called an affirmative action hire at CPAC. The head of CPAC said that Steel should not be upset but be more understanding. It is unconscionable to remain silent in the face of racism. Trump is a racist. How can you not point out to people who voted for Trump that they support a racist?

Take a look at the situation in reverse. Tamika Mallory, a black woman, is a co-director of the Women’s March. Mallory has a relationship with Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan is an anti-Semite. Should there be no comment on the relationship? There are demands for Mallory to address her position regarding Farrakhan, Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam rescues men in prison and does good in the black community. Should his supporters not carry the taint of anti-Semitism?

Shaun King has an excellent take on Mallory and Farrakhan. It will be painful, but she has to address the anti-Semitism, just as Trump voters cannot escape his racism.

Edit to add:

If you are black and you point out Farrakhan’s economic aid to the black community, you will be labeled an anti-Semite. Trump voters are labeled racists.

Everyone's picking on Hal but at least he's always been thinking about making some kind of coalition with some of these people. (unfortunately some of his ideas on doing that also include stuff that turns off a major portion of the committed Dem party.)

On the other hand, I really thought it totally counter-productive for supporters of the Dem party to post on political websites that everyone who voted for Trump is a racist and that the Dems don't need and don't want any of their votes because they are stupid racists. When I said so at the time, I remember bascially being called a racist as well. That's exactly the kind of political correctness that makes me refuse to register as a Democrat to this day, actually. I hate that,it's beyond stupid. I have a mixed race family with some members that once had racist feelings. I know how it works to change their hearts and minds, I've seen it happen up close and personal, life long feelings change. One thing that certainly does NOT work is to scream "you're a racist and I don't want to have anything to do with you." That does not work. It does not work in personal relations and it doesn't work in getting elected, either.

Your take on “pro-life” is important. We need to take the meaning back.
