Of course he does. It's unending musical chairs to the tune of blackmail. Per Stone's indictment, he was in regular communication with Trump about pending Russian/Wiki stolen email drops to benefit his campaign. Trump knew the whole time and has never stopped lying about it while the number of his accomplices going to prison continues to increase. Stone could bury Trump, hence the corrupt intervention by Trump into DOJ's sentencing of Stone. But if Stone came clean from his perjury, obstruction, and witness tampering, he would expose himself to worse than for what he is currently convicted. When you get put away for long enough, at Stone's age, silence and cover-up isn't worth it. Trump obviously knows this.

Crazy stat:

It’s like missing the early detection/treatable phase of cancer. Daily life was normal beyond entering the stage of a tragically foreshortened future.

The certainty of me voting in the general is greater than it is for you, bud.

So what's your algorithm ? What percent of his 2016 NH primary votes is Bernie supposed to lose for every additional primary candidate? Sanders garnered less than half the votes tonight ~70K that he did in 2016 (152K), and after IA and NH, he's losing the delegate count to "the rat". I'm all ears, I guess.

NH 2016 primary Sanders got over 152k votes over HRC. Tonight he’s at 65k with 86% of vote in. I suppose there’s different layers to it, but it’s striking nonetheless re how the primaries will continue to unfold.

I could see it coming down to the House having to use Inherent Contempt on Bill Barr. And if you can’t imagine the WH/GOP getting so unlawful that the House has no recourse but to forcefully cinch the gov purse, be glad that remains a viable option under the most dire circumstances.

It certainly looks like some NH folks who voted for Sanders in 2016 are voting for other candidates tonight. E : electability m : mass c : cult constant Needs more mass, but got the cult squared covered.

nevertheless fuck these mobbed up fuckers.

Interested to see how much smaller a margin Berns wins NH today compared to 2016. not that it matters.

You know, on this particular story, I'm actually more interested in transnational criminal organizations and their mass money laundering through the global banking system getting some serious sunlight. Not all billionaires are bad. However a good many, especially those doing business with the likes of Putin and a few notable others, are worse than dick cancer. They need to get walled off from the civilized world. Trump just happens to be a disposable scumbag helping to spread our cheeks for them.

Not to mention the near complete omission of anything Warren 3rd in Iowa or Klobs. There's a method in full effect. Not sure how far out their actual endpoint is or pegging a winner next Nov so much as it is about gaming today's set of info and variables for a daily ratings double over the next week. It certainly has the feel of fanning a gambler's addiction.

The NY Mag read on the DB/Trump relationship is good, but extremely light on the Russian oligarch part. I was hoping the name Broeksmit would surface in there. Importantly, what the article does do is lay out the names and roles of high level DB officials who played a hands on part in the corp's risky tango with Trump over more than a decade, including the teaser about SCOTUS Kennedy's son, Justin Kennedy. The article maps out the past prolonged outlaw culture at DB and how compartmentalized it was with branches nearly combating each other for business as if they were from distinct corporations. It lays out a virtual roadmap for Congressional testimony should SCOTUS rule that DB has to turn over its Trump financials - "The Trump Rosetta Stone" - to Congress. That would be the cue to enter the story of first hand accounts of Russian oligarch cash pouring into shadowy corners of DB as it simultaneously flowed out to Trump. The blurb from the other link last page to the Atlantic article - Europe's Whistle-Blowers Take On Global Corruption. "If anyone at Deutsche Bank—or at any of Europe’s other financial institutions, acc. firms, or tax offices—has evidence of wrongdoing by D. Trump, now would be a good time to share it." - raises the specter that SCOTUS is not the only gatekeeper here. I have to imagine a lot of overseas sources are keeping their powder dry until the right time to unload the goods on Trump with a clear intent to take him out of re-election. If Congress can get the ball rolling on this next June, it could accelerate.

yeah, it's coming out. Russia owns the fake billionaire and failed businessman. Trump gets by doing their laundry.

You may call me stupid, that's fine, but I'm not going to just antagonize you back. I get you.

I recall the narrative being " a socialist will never win the general election" and that hasn't really changed. Bernie also benefitted from Hillary the anti-candidate the same way Trump did. And minority vote in places like South Carolina and other states substantially less white than IOWA will be informative. We'll see how it goes.

Yep. Bernie has had a free pass from the actual dirty pool players dating to pre-2016. Quite the opposite, he's still getting boosted by the same entities that are patiently waiting and ready to drive him to a second heart attack.

facts...something something attack the messenger.

Useful compendium of reassuring considerations from someone with credentials to back it up: Election 2020 FAQ My credentials to speak on this issue: I have monitored voting and tabulation in two states, and I’ve done legal voter protection work in a third.
