The DNC calculated that Hillary would perform better in primaries if the dates and times of the debates were structured such that primary voters didn’t have the opportunity to vet her positions.
They were correct. Until the general.

What’s the difference between:
• buying an election, as Bloomberg hopes to do
and
• buying an election by promising free shit purportedly paid for by other peoples’ money but ultimately paid for by Joe and Jane Taxpayer, as Warren and so many of the other Dem candidates hope to do?

@6 last Friday I could have saved $10. Someone I know would have been able to “put my name on a list” to get into a club instead of paying the cover charge. But I told him no.
I happen to frequent this place soften because it’s one of the closest places I go out to. I think by putting my name on the list, I think it was implied that it would be for a while, but maybe it was just that one night because my friend was performing there that night.
Anyhow, I go so often that sometimes they’ll just charge me $5 instead of the $10. But I elected not to take him up on it. I just felt that if I had to tell someone my name just to avoid paying $10 that it was kind of an elitist attitude, unlike any fucking Republican would do. That night they charged me the $10, I didn’t even get the discount of $5….and I was no poorer than I am today.

This Thanksgiving I suggest that Steve somberly reflect upon his sins, notable among them the loss of two (and counting) Supreme Court seats and the theft of his sanity by Hillary Clinton, due to his devastatingly moronic decision to go all-in on her candidacy in 2016.
In fact, Silverman noted, for the last 50 years, the Wampanoag Indians have marked Thanksgiving as a National Day of Mourning. Like many other Native Americans, they spend the holiday somberly reflecting on a history of genocide, the theft of their lands and the assault on their culture. At the Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum in Plymouth, some staff paint their faces black on Thanksgiving and perform traditional ceremonies to both honor their ancestors and remember a legacy of oppression.

Bloomberg News’s union pushed back on the decision on Monday and demanded that reporters be allowed to cover the campaign. It accused the editorial team of “silencing journalists” and urged them to reconsider.
“We are extremely alarmed by management’s decision to silence the journalists we represent at Bloomberg Industry Group, as well as the unrepresented journalists at Bloomberg News,” the Guild at Bloomberg Industry Group wrote. “Journalism’s first obligation is to the truth and as journalists, we must maintain an independence from those we cover.”

Tom Cotton’s seat is one y’all libbies won’t flip.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, meanwhile, questioned the challenger’s work history, tweeting that Mahony had been “unable to remember the last time he was employed.”
“Other damaging material that has not been made public” was in the hands of reporters, Colas wrote in the memo. The memo — which urged Cotton backers to continue to support the campaign — did not spell out what that material was.
The Republican bombardment was brief.
“Two hours later, Mahony dropped out, without first alerting the Democratic Party of Arkansas,” the memo noted.

Hell, I’d love to be able to take the credit. And I honestly wish we could say Democrats did all this to them. But the really astonishing truth is that REPUBLICANS DID THIS ENTIRELY TO THEMSELVES.
Republicans designed their primary to elevate the most accomplished Birfer-In-Chief to be their nominee.
Republicans staffed the campaign with incompetent, lying, criminal grifters like Stone, Cohen, Flynn, Manafort, Gates, etc. all now doing time.

Republicans set up Giuliani’s team of Russian-Ukrainian bag men.
Republicans arranged the quid-pro-quo.
Republicans proffered the solicitation to bribery.
Republicans faked the transcript.
Republicans locked down the real transcript.
Republicans assembled and carried out the conspiracy to obstruct.
Republicans promoted the latest iteration of Stoopid TIME MUSHEEN Qanon conspiracies.
Republicans witnessed it all.
Republicans testified about it all.
And now Republicans are falling all over themselves conjuring up dumb reasons why their impeachment voting fingers got injured doing POOOSEY GRAAABS.
I wish we could take credit for this debacle. Fuck me, I do. If Hillary could take credit she’d go down in history as the greatest progressive politician in history. But in truth she’s just an old lady who ran a bad campaign. The rest, and boy howdy it’s a fuck ton, the rest we have to admit the Republicans all did entirely to themselves. These years could have been a triumph for them. But for one thing. Republicans.
#youbuiltthat Republicans. You really did. You can cry and piss and moan and point fingers and hold your breath, and it won’t change it or convince anyone differently.

Hunter Biden suspected of smoking crack in DC strip club’s VIP room
The incident, which took place at Archibald’s Gentlemen’s Club in Washington, DC, late last year, represents the most recent alleged drug use by Biden, 49, who has acknowledged six stints in rehab for alcoholism and addiction that included a crack binge in 2016.
Workers at Archibald’s, located about three blocks north of the White House, said Biden was a regular there, with two bartenders and a security worker all instantly recognizing his photo and one worker identifying him by name.
https://pagesix.com/2019/11/26/hunter-biden-suspected-of-smoking-crack-in-dc-strip-clubs-vip-room/

History remembers the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre as an atrocity. Although the mostly-disarmed Native Americans fought back as best they could, most of the Seventh Cavalry casualties resulted from their own fire (so-called “friendly fire”). Afterwards, 20 of the soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor. (By contrast, only 3 Medals of Honor were awarded to South Dakota residents in World War 2.) The Lakota tribal council has called these awards “medals of dishonor.” Now, Democrats in the House and Senate are supporting a bill to rescind them.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-revoking-medals-wounded-knee-massacre_n_5dde7cc6e4b0d50f329a68bf
Roger Rabbit Commentary: There is ample precedent for rescinding medals. During the Civil War and Indian Wars, medals were handed out capriciously, and a 1917 review board rescinded 911 Medals of Honor, although about half a dozen of these were later restored to individuals who were deserving but deemed ineligible because they were civilians (two of these recipients were Buffalo Bill Cody, a civilian scout, and Dr. Mary Walker, a civilian surgeon). The Wounded Knee medals are a thorn in the side of Native Americans, and were awarded with flimsy justification. This bill shouldn’t be controversial, but it remains to be seen if Republicans will support it, and don’t be shocked if Cadet Bone Spurs vetoes it. After all, the victims were Native Americans, so to his racist mind, why shouldn’t this bloodletting be applauded?

75,
most people not on a single payer system who get sick with cancer spend the bulk of their treatment fighting with insurance companies over bills, and rearranging their finances to try and pay those bills while they are far too sick to work and earn any money to pay those bills. If they are lucky, they have lots and lots of money to begin with, or they (very rarely) have a generous insurance policy, and so they survive the institutional torture with some financial foundation still intact.
But about half of them end up going through everything they’ve got, selling off assets, liquidating savings, canceling future plans, and depleting all the principal in their primary residence in order to pay all the bills for treatment.
Because they got sick. And they had insurance.
Call it whatever the fuck you want. Most don’t file for bankruptcy because since Republicans reformed the bankruptcy laws it offers them little protection from medical debt and costs them more than its worth. Under our system of private health insurance you may “get to pick your own doctor!” But you still don’t get to pick whether or not you get sick. And for about half of all Americans who get really sick they lose everything to pay for it.
Maybe we are all just incredibly lucky. Maybe none of us will get cancer.
Then again, maybe Puddy got cancer.

Ford truck transmissions suck, and have for a very long time. Chickening out of a public duel with Tesla perpetuates Ford’s poorly kept secret.
Ford says it has nothing to prove to Tesla in F-150 vs Cybertruck tow battle

I preferred the F-250 features but went with the RAM 2500 because of the Cummins engine and the more reliable transmission. Probably the last time ever I’ll buy a new vehicle.

Yeah. About that.
You see, in Trump Afterlife you get to watch everything you’ve worked your whole life for taken away slowly by lawyers.
See: Michael Flynn, Dylan Howard, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, Igor Fuhrman, Lev Parnas, Konstantin Kilimnik, George Papadopolous, Alex Van der Zwaan, Richard Pinedo, Sam Patten, Bijan Kian, Skim Alptekin, etc. etc. etc. fooorevaaaaah……

In Obama afterlife you get to watch everything you’ve worked for your whole life taken away by executive orders that undo yours. Because you didn’t work through Congress, Pen/Phone dude.

Wasn’t paying much attention. But had not noticed a long line of Obama’s close personal associates pleading out, signing away all their belongings, or squandering their life savings on quixotic extended legal battles ending in maximum sentencing.
And maybe it’s just me, but I’ll be damned if I can see how beating up Sobbing Guatemalan Toddlers or building Baby Rape Cages deprives Bob Bauer or David Plouffe of their beach lodges in Bermuda.
Come to think of it, the most famous Obama alum dealing with this kind of shit is Greg Craig. I guess that just goes to show you, eh? Choose your clients. Don’t let them choose you.

You should have been noticing a long line of Hillary’s close personal associates being granted immunity in order to speak with the FBI.
You should have noticed all of those destroyed laptops and Blackberry phones not evaluated as part of the FBI’s “investigation” into Hillary’s malfeasance.
Had you done so, there likely would have been time to substitute a nominee who could, you know,
beat Donald Trump.

Hillary.
The Kiwi who first summited Everest?
Admittedly progressive in his politics. But not even an American.
Much less and American President.
I think he was a dairy farmer, or some shit like that.
Were his cows in trouble? Geez. You Republicans and your cows.
Sorry Dumbfuck. That wasn’t just a swing and a miss. That’s wood choppin’. No wonder you need to change the subject whenever you bring up your president.
In the end, Gordo is really no different than any other Trump stooge, so really no different than you.
Trump got the better of him. And Trump got the better of you. You and every other Republican. He fucked you.

Having seen what his presidency has reduced you to, why would I want that?
“Y’all” Groypers did it for the lulz.
Look who’s laughing now.
