Elaine Godfrey, a staff writer covering national politics for the outlet, was wearing her press badge identifying who she was and had “attempted to join a closed-door press scrum with the congresswoman that was open to the other reporters at the rally,”
Other reporters being there is where the issue lies.
And this is why Talarico is the better candidate. Not because he’s more electable as a white christian man, but because he’s more measured and understands how to handle contentious reporters or leading questions. Maybe he and his team have also thrown out journalists at their events, but I’d wager against it.
Let me break the news for you bud. We’re already facing a wide open constitutional crisis. The 1st amendment has been broken in hundreds of instances along with the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th. Alex Pretti was murdered for exercising his 2nd amendment. Ordering federal enforcement agencies into specific states/cities breaks the 10th. Trying to end birth right citizenship broke the 14th. He’s currently planning to break the 15th with a federal seizure of voting processes via a drafted executive order declaring a national state of emergency. The 19th is under attack by proof of identity voting laws that deny some women the right to vote based on mismatched identification between their birth certificate and state IDs with name changes from marriage. Its an open secret that he will push for a third term which would break the 20th and 22nd in addition to already attempting to break the 20th on Jan 6, 2020. And Voter ID laws constitute breaking the 24th.
So to summarize, that’s 9 that he’s already broken by my count and 4 he’s actively trying to break. That’s 13 of 27 and 7 of the original 10.
1 (broken) 2 (broken) 4 (broken) 5 (broken) 6 (broken) 8 (broken) 10 (broken) 14 (broken) 15 19 20 (broken) 22 24
There’s something silly about describing a NSFW intance’s shut down as untimely lol. As if it could have had a more timely death. Not to criticize the wording in any way, it just gave me a chuckle.
And the whole forcibly raping a 13 year old girl while she was tied down thing.

Your job sounds really cool! How likely is Alberta to be on fire again this year?
That’s what’s crazy to me, they survived the dot com crash and were so diversified that I have no idea how they stayed afloat. I would think that all of the combined expenses across all of their ventures without a true cash cow would sink them. Instead they survived and became the trash heap of consumer rights violations that they are.
You can’t really compare online book retailer Amazon to global online marketplace Amazon. Your underlying point is still mostly correct, but I would exclude the years that they were primarily focused on books. From my lived memory they didn’t really become the online retail juggernaut until a few years after the launch of Prime. Free shipping turned them into what it is today. So maybe the best comparison would be from like 2006-2016? Or maybe I’m wrong and the distinction isn’t necessary. Idk. I’m just trying to foster conversation
Should it? Yes. Would I be any happier with either of those two you listed? Only marginally. Considering the significance of the French relationship with the United States (probably second only to England in terms of importance/loyalty of alliance) I would much rather the ambassador be someone like Karine Jean-Pierre. Born in France and worked as the White House Press Secretary for 3 years. Her political affiliation is independent. And it shouldn’t matter but she’s an openly LGBTQ black woman and unfortunately diversity is lacking at the moment. So she’s experienced in public communication and she has a Master’s degree from Columbia University in Public Administration.
Do I want to die? No.
Best I can do is wish them death and in the meantime voice my disapproval in peaceful protests and repeatedly demanding more of my representation AND fellow constituents when it comes to enforcing laws.
Why normalize it? She’s from The Atlantic. Its not like she’s a Breitbart reporter? This should be no different than the White House booting BBC reporters out of the press pool for their press conferences.
