Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recommended colleagues as potential hires for Pete Buttigieg’s campaign soon after the South Bend, Ind., mayor launched his presidential bid in mid-April.
Buttigieg campaign spokesman Chris Meagher confirmed to Bloomberg News that Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had initiated the contact by sending several emails recommending individuals as potential campaign hires. A Zuckerberg-Chan family spokesman said that the employees had asked to be recommended.

Steve, instead of jumping on the low-hanging fruit of the story, maybe use what’s left of your Trump-addled brain to read a little more carefully.
“We are against Ankara’s establishing of military posts in Syria,” the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, said. “The issues should be resolved by diplomatic means.”
…
Washington’s departure from north-eastern Syria leaves only a small contingent of US forces in the country – all based in a desert outpost in the country’s south-east, where their focus has increasingly turned away from Isis to Iran. In the vacuum created by the Isis rampage across both sides of the Iraq-Syria border, Iran has emerged as a prominent actor, shoring up supply lines into Syria and Lebanon, which have helped secure Assad in power.
What the US has done makes Iran unhappy.
Steve, why do you choose to support Iran, which has made Death to America its rallying cry for more than a generation?

@23 “Thought experiment: what effect does average studio Apartment rent rising an about $100/year have on working class and or recent graduates and how does that relate to homelessness?”
You also might want to ask that question in a slightly rephrased form, i.e., “and how does that relate to restaurant sales?”
Probably has more impact than raising the min wage to $15. In fact, if restaurants don’t pay $15 – $25 min wage or no, there won’t be any restaurants, because high rents will denude Seattle of restaurant labor.

$57m could convert about 570m diesel buses to electric.

I doubt anyone will be troubled by the optics of a Republican in Democrat wool failing to get much support in the primaries yelling from the cheap seats that she has ideas(rejected at the polls) and must be heard while not Getting anywhere near the stage. She’ll have sewn up he totally existent fiscally conservative socially conservative Wing of voters planning to vote not Donald.
Optics….
The only way someone named Clinton is on the stage at the 2020 convention is if Chelsea introduces a #metoo video montage of 25 women in the early hours of Day 1 or they hire Parliament-Funkadelic.

No, we don’t have to choose from either or of irrelevant.

You’re increasingly difficult @ 35 to distinguish from Steve, Cz-252. The only real difference is the sound of my laugh when I read what the two of you write.
SCOTUS reversed another lower federal court ruling against gerrymandering today, in this case Michigan’s. Technically, the high court is saying gerrymanders are “political questions” that courts can’t interfere in. As a practical matter, the conservative majority is placing gerrymanders — no matter how extreme, unfair, or anti-democratic — beyond court review.
Democrats, you have your marching orders. Remember the Golden Rule and take no prisoners.
@35 “She’ll have sewn up he totally existent fiscally conservative socially conservative Wing of voters planning to vote not Donald.”
Unfortunately for her, Joe Walsh has sewn up that vote.
Speaking of Joe Walsh, who’s not a funny guy, his take on how his former colleagues still in Congress feel about Trump, and who they’re really afraid of (not Trump), is downright entertaining.

Wrong. JFK and Herbert Hoover donated the entirety of their presidential salaries to charity. Obama donated about a third of his presidential salary income to various charities.
@ 38
Technically, the high court is saying gerrymanders are “political questions” that courts can’t interfere in.
This isn’t the first time the Court has pointed out political rather than legal questions. Breyer, in his dissent in Bush v. Gore, wrote:
Despite the reminder that this case involves “an election
for the President of the United States,” ante, at 1
(REHNQUIST, C. J., concurring), no preeminent legal concern, or practical concern related to legal questions, required this Court to hear this case, let alone to issue a stay
that stopped Florida’s recount process in its tracks.
…
Of course, the selection of the President is of fundamental national importance. But that importance is political,
not legal.
It follows that the results of downballot elections are, too, fundamentally important. It is therefore unfortunate that Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit and his ilk permitted the loss of more than 1,000 legislative seats during Obama’s tenure as president.

@42 “It is therefore unfortunate that Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit and his ilk permitted the loss of more than 1,000 legislative seats during Obama’s tenure as president.”
It’s also unfortunate that the majority of German people who were reasonable people allowed a minority party (the Nazis) and a charlatan (Hitler) to come to people, but the primary fault of what followed belongs to those who supported the Nazis and Hitler, just as the primary blame for Trump and GOP legislative atrocities like gerrymandering lies with Republican voters, of whom you are one.
@44
Open Secrets…
“Hawaii state Sen. Kai Kahele, a Democrat, has raised $345,616 from Hawaii donors in his bid to unseat Gabbard. That’s more than Gabbard’s presidential campaign has raised from donors in the Aloha State — $221,501 — over the same time period through September.”
She’s getting primaried from the left. There is no declared R in this deep blue district so the winner will be in Congress. Given that Hilary took 62% in 2016 I wonder how this is playing at home?
@43 “Take Back the Democratic Party from Corrupt Elite”
Interesting that you’re silent about taking back the Republican Party from its corrupt elite, but I guess you know an impossibility when you see it, because there’s no such thing as a Republican who isn’t corrupt, so there’s no one to do the taking back.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that he could not form a new government after President Reuven Rivlin asked him to try in the wake of a deadlocked election. … The opportunity to form a stable government will now fall to his rival Benny Gantz, who leads the main opposition Blue and White party.”

“Well your first mistake was trusting America but you never learn do you.” Donald, or words to that effect.
@52 I can answer that. The whole thing. They despise the entire idea of it, i.e. being based on the principle of majority rule. They hate term-limiting the presidency (vs. having a rightwing president-for-life), having a legislative branch with oversight authority and impeachment powers, the separation of church and state, due process, the works.
The only parts of the Constitution they accept are the Electoral College (and then only when it puts their losing candidate in power) and the slavery provisions (which, to their great disgust, were repealed after they lost a civil war that forced them into dependency on cheap labor instead of free labor).
The rest of it simply stands in the way of minority rule, imposition of a theocratic rightwing dictatorship, suppression of the liberal ideas, arrest of critics and opponents, and facilitating the corruption they love so dearly — overall a damned nuisance.

And in a fragmented world, every country capable of building nuclear weapons will build them. Then, when everyone has them, and they’re all at each other’s throats with no policeman-of-the-world to keep a lid on things, sooner or later an accident or miscalculation will happen.

Demorat Pornstar Party Of Hate America & Brilliant Hoaxes Fartblower Blowback Update – Thanks again Demorats for your inspired Fartblower Hoax, here comes more Demorat corruption blowback.
———–
In short, multiple intelligence sources have produced evidence which will soon be publicly announced that Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that had Hunter Biden (Vice President Biden’s son) on the board getting paid fifty thousand a month, paid the former President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko $100mm (that’s one hundred million) to suppress the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office’s investigation into money laundering and kick backs to the Biden family, as well as other financial crimes. Then Vice President Joe Biden famously (in his own words) forced Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden and the Burisma group of companies, threatening to withhold security and financial aid. Sound familiar to the current charges against President Trump? It’s called projection.
Our sources allege FBI agents have taken bribes, some up to $5 million. The Embassy of the Untied States in Kyiv was neck deep into this corruption, involving corrupt FBI and CIA, where former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was alleged to be directing a Deep State disinformation operation against then presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, with the aid of the Clinton Campaign and corrupt Ukrainian officials.
