  1. Thanks. What happened to that Jane Doe accusation? I remember the mainstream media wouldn't touch it and then the accuser declined to go public. Know of a story summing it up? This latest Epstein stuff made me think of it. Edit: Nevermind, someone posted huff po summary below. And don't think for a minute Trump supporters won't explain rape of a teenager away like they have everything else.
  2. So weird he keeps thanking Obama.
  3. They deserve it. Everyone working on this are either (1) political appointees who volunteered to work for this human repository of corruption and deceit or (2) career attorneys who stuck around knowing this was coming and having better options.
  4. Answer. It's technically a separate event. "A Capitol Fourth" concert: John Stamos will host a star-studded concert from 8 p.m to 9:30 p.m. featuring Carole King, Vanessa Williams, Colbie Caillat, the National Symphony Orchestra and the Sesame Street Muppets on the U.S. Capitol West Lawn. King made it clear to her followers the concert she's participating in is not "T's political rally," sharing a cartoon announcing her appearance along with a distant Trump https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/451401-trumps-salute-to-america-a-guide-to-the-dc-fourth-of-july
  5. How the fuck did Sesame Street get roped into this? Why would they go along with it?
  6. But on Monday, the Republican National Committee said they had received tickets to the Fourth of July event for distribution. Although the event is free and open to the public, the RNC tickets can get people access to better viewing areas and seating. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1025786 Spending a ton of the people's money to turn a public event normally run by the Parks Service into a political rally AND fundraiser. How the fuck does this not violate hundreds of campaign finance laws? Also, politicization of the military. This guy is going full dictator.
  7. We have also, due to Republicans, kept the number who can immigrate from those countries artificially low, much lower than our labor needs or the rate at which we can process and assimilate people. There is no way to explain this other than racism and it's no different than that towards Irish and Italians before. Those driving these policies are evil and if there was a just God they would surely burn in hell. Given the conditions we're learning about, the premise of God is unsupportable.
  8. Now, imagine the 100,000 day were white.
  9. Wait until the fundraising is consolidated. The Democratic nominee will likely have close to $2 billion at his/her disposal.
  10. Gonna be this season's Beto-Cruz with combo of a compelling and talented candidate taking on one of the most disliked politicians in America. He's going to raise a boatload.
  11. Seems like this is quickly going to come down to Warren versus Harris with Buttigieg on the periphery. That's pretty awesome. I want Liz though. Gonna be fun.
  12. So the dirty piss-soaked streets started 2-3 years ago? I have to wonder how, in his mind, he makes sense of this starting with his presidency. Libs ruining our cities to undermine MAGA? I'm in NYC this week. It's dirty as hell and smells but it's still the greatest city in the world.
  13. Just came to.post this. I continue to be shocked by how big a moron he is.
  14. If there's any reason to hope the slow food/local movement in the last 10 years has been great. Unfortunately, it's inequitable as fuck and the industry wants to keep it that way.
  15. K, $60 more for tshirt, bumper stickers and yard sign. This is what we need. Prioritize people over corporate greed.
  16. Just did $50. Have given $100 total to her. Gonna go get a t-shirt now.
  17. Biden's gonna Biden. I'll be surprised if he makes it to Iowa.
  18. Not this changes your point much but Howard Dean was already on a downward spiral when the scream happened. He happened after he lost Iowa, falling below expectations. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-dean-scream-what-really-happened/
  19. Counterpoint: (1) Possibly retarded (2) Probably a rapist (3) Definitely a traitor
  20. Castro isn't actually fluent. He's from one of those families where learning the native language was viewed as bad. He's worked on it more as he's emerged in politics but his speaking is still limited.
  21. This deserves more attention. Just her having the bully pulpit would do a ton to fix the corruption throughout business and civil society. Without passing a single law.
  22. Everyone, including her, agrees she fucked up with the DNA test. She apologized appropriately. This is Liz's "but her emails" and she should no longer engage it. And Democrats shouldnt either.
  23. That will not be an issue other than to the 40% of depolorables. Those are not going to be enough for Trump to win. The story is that like many people from Oklahoma she grew up with family stories of Indian ancestry. That is extremely common. I had the same in my family. Being from a different background--poor, socially conservative, working class--she played up that honestly believed ancestry at times as more or less a conversation piece. It did not advance her academic career--this has been researched and reported on thoroughly and there's zero evidence it factored in to faculty hirnig decision. Nor was it her intent to use it to advance her career. She fucked up by trying to play Trump's game with the DNA test but everyone that matters is over it. Her policies are ambitious and most won't get through as proposed--or at all--but she can succeed with the centerpiece of her campaign: end the rampant corruption across our government and society. You want to drain the swamp? Vote for Liz Warren.
