So many pundits claim to know just whom Joe Biden needs as a VP candidate, but I a probably the most reliable! (j/k) Anyway, I have concluded that Michelle Obama is the best choice! https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/04/20/joe-biden-says-he-would-pick-michelle-obama-to-be-his-vice-president/

Perhaps Bernie Sanders is correct: Some people should not be allowed to be billionaires. Notorious gay billionaire, David Geffen, proves what an asshole he really is. David Geffen Takes Instagram Private After Tone-Deaf Post About Self-Isolating on His Yacht He thinks by removing his Instagram account, that alone will save him from looking like an orifice above the scrotum.

Weird Photo Of Mitch McConnell's Social Distancing Has People In Stitches https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/mitch-mcconnell-social-distancing-094614723.html

This is a fine example of how dangerous the Trump crowd really is: Limbaugh and Trump fuel coronavirus conspiracy theories It's easy to get political and say out loud: If the ignorant voters who listen to Limbaugh and voted for Trump wish to risk their lives on a new virus, then certainly their deaths from the virus, if that were to occur, would lower their voting numbers for the future. That would be one more way to decimate Trumpism. However, viruses do not take sides. The more people who throw caution to the wind, the more dangerous it is for everyone else. Make no mistake, Trump's incompetence in dealing with this health crisis can certainly derail his …

Senator Ritch McConnell wants to take care of his fellow aristocrats and has put a $500 BILLION slush fund into his proposal to lift the economy out of the cesspool it is about to enter due to coronavirus. He says that Democrats should go along because he incorporated some of their ideas in the bill. The slush fund would be under the control of the Treasury. From the Washington Post; A major sticking point is a $500 billion pool of money for loans and loan guarantees that Republicans want to create, which some Democrats are labeling a “slush fund” because the Treasury Department would have broad discretion over who receives the money. There is little pr…

At first sight, what happened on Super Tuesday looks like a reversion to something like normality… I don’t think that Bernie’s supporters have any reason to feel discouraged by the campaign’s performance. It’s just that the hopeful expectation that Sanders would steal a march on a disheveled and disorganized Democratic establishment simply turned out to be premature. The establishment got its act together, as it needed to do, in the nick of time – the Clyburn endorsement, Klobuchar and Buttigieg dropping out and rallying to Biden after South Carolina – all of which made sense. Klobuchar of course spared herself the political embarrassment of losing her own state of M…

Joe Biden grabbed Pete Buttigieg by the shoulders after the endorsement. One Indiana politician got his jollies from it. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-indiana-state-senator-mike-young-homophobic-meme-biden-buttigieg-20200304-oofhxwmk6ff2toakv6z7gegxyu-story.html

It sure feels like a slap in the butt. I think Pete could have stuck it out until Tuesday. We just mailed our votes in, now they are wasted. He did the gay community proud, at least imho. But, c'mon! 3 more days? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/01/us/politics/pete-buttigieg-drops-out.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=Politics

...In a subsequent salvo Trump compared Bloomberg to his 2016 Republican nomination challenger Jeb Bush. “Mini Mike Bloomberg is a LOSER who has money but can’t debate and has zero presence, you will see. He reminds me of a tiny version of Jeb ‘Low Energy’ Bush, but Jeb has more political skill and has treated the Black community much better than Mini!” Twenty minutes later, Bloomberg returned fire, drawing attention to doubts that Trump is not as wealthy or as successful as he likes to portray himself. “@realDonaldTrump – we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown,” Bloomberg said in a …

He's a United States Senator, a millionaire, owner of three homes, in the news every day, and angry all of the time. Or so it seems. Why?

The UGLY is coming. The Democratic Party loves to shoot itself in the foot. Utter incompetence is no way to fight the Republicans and win over the electorate. IMO, Iowa can go fuck their righteous selves, and fuck their whiny ass caucuses. They were so complicated this year, no one could explain them properly to voters. IMO, they never made sense. They have now proven they are unworthy to go first in the future. It's time to mix up the states who vote first, and give other states the privilege of setting tone, agenda, and precedent. The Bernie Sanders camp seems like a bunch of militant assholes who seem determined to fight dirty. I'm hoping Independen…

Pretty good. What I learned watching Bernie and Biden for hours on end Biden is a creature of the Senate. Sanders is a creature of the campaign trail. Seeing them back to back in these two settings clarifies the choice. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/30/biden-sanders-2020-election-109416At

Do you like Pete because he is gay or because he is more center than the "left" Dems? If I were looking for a Dem to vote for it likely would be Pete. Some think Joe is the moderate but he is fading and fast. Bernie and MS. Warren are way too far left for many, if not most. Pete is facing a lot of challenges to include not enough experience in politics, never mind his sexual orientation. I only have one comment on that subject and that is Jimmy Carter faced many of the same questions and, obviously, so did Barack Obama. Who ever thought the US could or would elect a Black President? Some thought the same about JFK being a Catholic but I could never understand that …

With the Senate poised to laugh at the House's impeachment case, they will create a situation where Trump will be accountable to no one. It will be much better for him than killing someone on Fifth Avenue. Our system of government provides checks and balances with its three tiers. The Supreme Court will cast the final vote, and it is hard to believe that a majority would act to stop Trump's rise. He can snub the Congress and the Constitution. Wait until his term is up and he refuses to leave. Will Mitch McConnell grow a pair then, or will it be too late?
