7. What they deserve.. TY.

[sheshe2]

13. Hey!

20. ..

[hlthe2b]

4. How the hell some on this board can support Nina Turner escapes me...

Have we turned into our own worst enemies?

I can not think of someone running on the Dem ticket in recent years who has been so derisive to the party and its members--including our own President.

[msongs]

9. AOC endorsed and approved. gotta stop at that... nt

[sheshe2]

14. **snort** nt

[hlthe2b]

15. Ditto to not knowing how the hell AOC could have endorsed her either.

Some things are inexplicable. I may not always like AOC's positions, but I honestly think AOC will come to regret supporting Nina Turner.

[comradebillyboy]

16. They are two peas in a pod.

[empedocles]

17. Not quite 'inexplicable'

[Cha]

21. Exactly.. no where near.

[Historic NY]

41. Its called reaching for power a larger say

These two would have comfortably welcomed Trump back in the WH, especially with their active measures long after the primary's ended.

[sheshe2]

19. Welp.............

Never mind.

[moonscape]

40. And how can Katie Porter? Boggles. n/t

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. I am wondering the same thing

Turner bragged about voting and campaigning for stein and tried to help TFG beat Joe Biden. She is not a Democrat

[betsuni]

50. Those who have no idea who Democrats are and who the base is.

[BannonsLiver]

59. It's people who hate Biden on the down low

They know they can’t say what they want to say about him here so they boost those who say voting for him is “like eating a bowl of shit”.

Clyburn is hated because his endorsement put it out of reach for their guy back in 2020.

[Demsrule86]

65. And who recently formed a party to compete with Democrats ...she is NOT A DEMOCRAT.

She messed up on this one

[Hortensis]

73. My guess, their long anti- Democratic Party histories are

a very significant part of the draw. It's been a consistent note through all their perambulations, from attacking from outside and openly advising people to not vote Democratic (as in 2016) to current actions from officially within. Both have spent years equating Democrats with Republicans in intractable shared-evil narratives. Killer's famous agressive hostility toward politicians:

It's scammer bliss when you puttin' villains in charge of shit
All of us targeted, all we doin' is arguin'
Pardon them as they work until every pocket's been picked and soul been harvested
I'm ready to mob on these fuckin' charlatans (Charlatans, charlatans, charlatans, charlatans, charlatans, charlatans)

Echoed, of course, by Ms. Turner's famous depiction of Democratic policies as shit.

I sometimes wonder, if attacking Democrats from the right as a Republican were seen as acceptable among some as attacking Democrats from the left is, how people like Mr. Blacks-should-buy-guns might identify.

[Cha]

6. I love Shontel Brown.. Excellent Statement

about Rep Clyburn endorsing Biden & the rest is DEMOCRATIC History! Boom!

TY Rep Clyburn, Sec Buttigieg, Sen Klobuchar, & Beto O'Rourke!

[Chili]

33. I sincerely hope...

... that she pays dearly for her agreement with the attack on Clyburn. She already had enemies, but she's riling them up. You go, girl.

[Cha]

39. My same thoughts!

That's all they have are vicious attacks.. . that's what they do.

Must think it works.. it sure as hell didn't work with President Joe Biden!

[Trueblue1968]

58. Just say MP to NINA. We don't need politicians who lie about Hillary & Badmouth PRES BIDEN

"NEGATIVE NINA" did both of those rotten actions. I can't stand her.

[brooklynite]

8. But Killer Mike was so POPULAR in these parts.....

[George II]

10. I think some in the Democratic coalition have redefined "popular". Remember that infamous poll?

[uponit7771]

52. With who ?!?!

[comradebillyboy]

12. I can see why AOC endorsed Turner.

Common values.

[Cha]

22. Oh yeah.. as I said on that thread..

Because of course she did.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

49. Who was surprised by this endorsement?

They share common values which are NOT the values of many in the Democratic Party

[Guilded Lilly]

23. K&R...Brown is the class act. N/T ( aka as No Turner, heh)

[Chili]

24. absolutely

What a difference between the two.

And I swear, those pro-Turner people on that twitter thread reminds me of those freaky bot people who used to suddenly take over pro-Biden threads before the election. So obvious.

[Guilded Lilly]

25. ...

[Chili]

30. ...

[Cha]

42. Yes.. Shontel is brilliant & a Class act!

[Guilded Lilly]

43. ...

[BGBD]

26. I like killer mike

Run The Jewels is great....but he has some pretty out there politics.

[George II]

28. He supports the NRA. Enough said as far as I'm concerned.

[sheshe2]

34. Not only supports the NRA...

When Parkland students put together a walk out against guns...Mike told his kids if they followed they could not walk back in their own front door.


WTF?

[betsuni]

27. Anyone who doesn't agree with me is stupid because I'm right, both sides are bribed by corporations.

Same old script.

Someone in the comments reminded us about Mike meeting Georgia governor Brian Kemp, how much Mike liked him: "Politics and policy don't matter to me as much as human decency and principles and he seemed to be a principled human being when I talked to him."

Principles and human decency? Policy not important? Okay, Mike. You're a really good judge of character . Nothing wrong with meeting Republicans, but if you think they're more decent and principled than Democrats, if you can't bring yourself to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee because you think they're the same or worse than Trump ...

Hillary Clinton/Joe Biden and Trump? Same, can't tell the difference! Everyone is corrupted by corporations somehow because corporations control everything! Everything is terrible and everyone's out to get me because I am the only one who cares about working families in this bleak corrupt neoliberal establishment corporatist status quo oligarchy. Don't vote for Democrats except for me when I'm forced to run as one of them because my third party isn't on the ballot yet! Authentic, principled!

[Chili]

32. whoa

Nailed it!

[sheshe2]

35. Sing it sister.

Good ole Mikie...

Hate the corporations and love the NRA.

Said he would kick his own kids out of his house if they walked out with Parkland students in protest of guns. What father, what black father does that? I don't get it.

[betsuni]

51. I hadn't known about the gun protest comment. Whenever I look up something KM says, "backlash"

is often somewhere there.

[sheshe2]

63. Here is that and more.

Then, I checked my phone, and shook my head. I finally regained some internet as I was walking away from City Hall shortly after the rally ended. Right before my battery died, I learned about what Killer Mike did.

The Atlanta rapper had pre-recorded a segment for NRATV, the National Rifle Association’s broadcast outlet, in which he argued strongly for gun rights. The video went online during the March. Killer Mike, half of the fierce hip-hop tag team Run the Jewels, filmed a pre-recorded chat with NRATV host Collins Iyare Idehen Jr. (who is also black, hence the stage name “Colion Noir”). In the video, Idehen added an introduction to the video directly challenging the March organizers. “What are you really marching for?” said the host, apparently unable to discern that from the event’s title. “Because from where I’m standing, it looks like a march to burn the Constitution and rewrite the parts you don’t like in crayon.” Idehen’s corny screed set the tone for a conversation in which both he and Mike question the “wokeness” of black gun control advocates and show condescension for the hundreds of thousands of marchers who took to the American streets. It was less an interview than it was propaganda for the NRA, arguably the most powerful political organization outside of the criminal justice system that works consistently to create societal acceptance of untimely black death.

snip

Mike proudly recounted how he forbade his children to participate in National Walkout Day, saying that, “If you walk out that school, walk out my house.” Killer Mike even finds space to give caustic NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch some dap, buying into her February CPAC remarks about the media not caring about black gun victims, as if the NRA is scheduling town halls on Chicago’s West Side for families grieving loved ones lost to gun violence. It was nauseating to watch Mike lend his legitimacy with black audiences to an organization that exploits racial anxiety in order to encourage white people to buy more guns.

Thank You

44. Sorry fans.. KM is an Idiot.

[Progressive Jones]

81. Which record label (corporation) does "Big Mike" work for, making his money?

Which music distributor (corporation) puts his music out there, making him money?

I know "Big Mike" isn't a candidate here, but he certainly seems to be a surrogate for Turner.

[Duppers]

29. K.M. - No!

Hitting Congressman Clyburn & Biden!!! Just No!!

[brush]

36. Killer Mike is an idiot. Clyburn is the reason Biden is in the WH and Dems...

control the House and Senate. So sick of these alleged Dems blasting Dems for actually being successful.

[Cha]

46. They don't care... that means

less than nothing to them.

55. Nina ran sanders South Carolina operation which was a major disaster

It appears that Nina holds a grudge with respect to her failed South Carolina operation

[MrsCoffee]

71. Well Sanders campaign was a disaster in general.

The consequences of which we will be living with for generations to come.

He made it fashionable to assault the party from within.

[niyad]

38. who is this killer mike person?

[comradebillyboy]

45. A prominent Sanders supporter and sometimes surrogate

from both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

[uponit7771]

53. RIGHT !?!?

[betsuni]

54. He's a political activist.

[BannonsLiver]

60. A part time Russian asset

[tonedevil]

62. He's a Rapper. /nt

[sheshe2]

64. Big time NRA supporter.

See my posts above.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

47. This is sickening

This Mike person and Nina need to apologize for these comments. I am appalled

[mcar]

56. Stupid "with love?" Hosted by TYT

That's all I need to know.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

57. Ted Lieu needs to answer some questions

Link to tweet

[Cha]

61. Rt TY & I had a question of my own!

[tonedevil]

68. Now we hate Representative Lieu?

I think he is one of our better Congresspeople and will allow him to support who he wants to support.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

72. Do you approve of the statements made by that Mike idiot and Nina Turner regarding Rep. Clyburn?

Ted Lieu will be asked about these comments and his judgment in supporting a non-democrat who voted for Jill Sein and tried to help TFG win re-election should be questioned

Link to tweet

[tonedevil]

74. I think it is demonstrably untrue...

that Rep. Clyburn is stupid. Somehow that hasn't turned into me thinking Rep. Lieu needs to explain his endorsement or take responsibility for what Nina Turner or Killer Mike say.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

75. Lieu is endorsing a non-Democrat who voted and campaigned for Jill Stein

Rep. Clyburn is the reason Joe Is the nominee of the party and Nina was in charge of sanders’ South Carolina campaign that was so bad that is was funny. The comments of Nina on that encounter are sad and the comments of the Mike idiot are disgusting. Lieu needs to clarify if he agrees with these comments.

Lieu will be asked about this endorsement and these comments It will be interesting to see how Lieu answer these questions

[tonedevil]

78. I'll await this comeuppance. /nt

[George II]

76. There's also the half bowl caper AND that Turner refused to vote for the Democrat in '16 & '21.

That's three strikes in my book.

Shontel Brown has zero strikes.

[tonedevil]

77. Then there is no way that...

Nina Turner can win the election so problem solved.

[George II]

79. If only it were that simple.

[SunSeeker]

67. K & R & Retweeted!

[jml510]

69. As a Californian,

I'm disappointed in Lieu and Porter for getting behind someone who not only backed a 3rd party candidate last election cycle, but has openly expressed contempt towards our party and the leader of it. I expected them to know better.

[NurseJackie]

70. I can't support anyone who compares Biden to a "bowl of shit" or who supports Jill Fucking Stein...

I can't support anyone who compares Biden to a "bowl of shit" or who supports Jill Fucking Stein... AND I have nothing but disappointment and contempt for anyone who believes that the things she does or says is appropriate. Politicians who have endorsed her have soiled their reputations. Fact of the matter is that Nina is NOT A FRIEND of the Democratic Party or Biden or Hillary. She says and does divisive things that only weaken and fracture the party.

I'm not at all surprised that this "bowl of shit" is being presented by and promoted by TYT.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

80. This makes me smile
