oh, lol, I forgot that the guy who stripped and danced was doing it in protest for Darryl

IIRC there was a lot of pushback from the audience claiming people wouldn't take them seriously after that.

I still don't think Sam knows exactly what he's in for if he takes this half-seriously, there's a good chunk of the Party that loves promoting the goofiest thing for the party or to put it in modern parlance "enjoys trolling the Party" as the sole reason for participating in the Conventions. A lot of them sucked it up the last two times because Gary had a legitimate shot at 1% and then 5%. :lol

The guy who took all that colloidal silver and turned himself blue got upset at finding out that his base of support weren't true believers in whatever his weird platform of like three personal issues were but people who wanted to nominate "the blue guy" because he was blue.

Let's dispel this fiction once and for all that Sam Seder doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing; he's undergoing a systematic effort to change this country and make America more like the rest of the world.

Trump rules out expanding Supreme Court in a dig at 2020 Dems
By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 03/19/2019 02:52 PM EDT

President Donald Trump asserted Tuesday that the Supreme Court will remain with nine judges for at least the next six years.

Asked in a Rose Garden news conference about the budding proposal among some 2020 Democrats to expand the Supreme Court, the president definitively ruled out the possibility, guaranteeing that if the court added justices, it wouldn’t be until the end of his second term.

“No, I wouldn't entertain that,” he said.

...

But Trump on Tuesday was conclusive in his view of the matter.

“We would have no interest in that whatsoever,” he said. “It will never happen. It won't happen, I guarantee you, it won’t happen for six years.”

BENJI BRINGS YOU THE NEWS FIRST
is his campaign actually a front for his fetish of standing on countertops in front of people? :thinking


https://www.thedailybeast.com/baristas-to-beto-orourke-come-on-man-get-off-our-counters
Quote
When Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke arrived for a campaign stop at Beancounter Coffeehouse in Burlington, Iowa, he hopped right up on the shop’s counter and addressed the masses below. During a visit to Narrow Way Cafe in Detroit, Michigan, O’Rourke grabbed a microphone and scrambled up on counter. At Sing-A-Long Bar and Grill in Mount Vernon, Iowa? You bet he got up on that counter.

Critics have accused O’Rourke of running on a vague political platform. But there’s one platform the Democratic hopeful openly stands on: the sturdy countertops of Midwest cafes. After a week of stump speeches from a perch next to the cash register, Beto’s countertop habit has become a meme. And some of the nation’s baristas are asking him to please get down from there.

Josh Wilson is the owner of Cohesive Coffee in Greenville, South Carolina. He said he could envision himself voting for O’Rourke, but still wouldn’t want him standing on his counter.

“As a cafe owner, the way the picture shows doesn’t make sense,” Wilson said of a picture of O’Rourke squatting on a counter to listen to a woman standing on the ground. “I would understand standing on the counter because the crowd was so big, although organizing it would be better. But he’s kneeled down. It seems like a photo opp that wasn’t necessary. His feet are right by the cups.”

...

Connor Finnegan, a Brooklyn coffee shop manager said if O’Rourke comes to his cafe, he’s “definitely not” getting on the counter. “He can be heard and seen perfectly well standing on the ground,” he said, citing the 6’4” candidate’s height.

“I'd say it's safe as long as he keeps his balance,” Finnegan added. “Acoustics are fine, no cafe in NYC is gonna be too big for him.”

Third Party Watch actually uses a real polling firm and they have legal staff who understand third party ballot stuff. They probably won't be any worse than any other polling you see which typically comes from Libertarian websites, including the LP's own website.

That reminds me that Darryl Perry also tried to stuff one of the online polls and he still came in fourth with 10%, and he was getting like 5% in polls like all the non-Johnson/Peterson/McAfee candidates got for months. :lol

I still don’t understand what’s so wrong with Beto outside of being a dweeb.

I think it’s that he doesn’t really seem to have any sort of vision for the country.

He is sort of the worst elements of Obama and Hillary from a policy perspective, where he doesn’t really have any deeply held beliefs beyond what he perceives to be 1) popular enough to win the current election 2) annides taken seriously by gateway press.

He’s been all over the place in his career on social security.
He supported the recommendations of Simpson-Bowles, has said we need to consider raising retirement age to 69, cutting benefits, and raising payroll taxes, and has come out in support of the Social Security 2100 bill (which actually is pretty good) now that he’s running for President.

Similar on environment. Voted for oil and gas and fracking the entire time in Congress, but now that he’s running nationally as a democrat he supposedly supports the Green New Deal.

He just strikes me as the type of dude that will push for cutting social security as soon as Tom Friedman writes a column about fiscal responsibility... (much like Obama and Hillary did circa 2013).

I don’t want Joe Manchin for President either.

Also, I would point out that Beto is in one of the safest Congressional districts in the country. It’s had a Republican an representative only one time for 2 years since it’s creation in 1907.

If you want to know what Beto truly believes look at what he voted for, because there’s no reason to appease anybody in that seat.

Edit: he’s also a member of the New Democrat Coalition, which is “moderate, pro growth, and supports a balanced budget”.

He’s not a part of any of the House Progressive groups. If you like the politics of Bill Clinton with legal weed, he’s a good pick.

I'll say what I said 4 years ago, at the end of the day whoever's high-minded rhetoric, idealistic policy, and feel-good signaling you prefer is going to get confronted with the same set of congressional, institutional, and judiciary constraints that are going to box in and limit the realistic range of movement anyone occupying the executive is going to have. To the point that functionally a Bernie or Beto or Yang presidency is likely not going to look all that dissimilar in practice compared to the framing people give into in primary season.

There is certainly enough notable deviation that can come from prioritization, crisis decision-making, appointments, and focus to warrant pulling for who you prefer, but at the end of the day McConnell is not going to be persuaded to give everyone $1000 by a Yang meme or let any of his caucus get behind a Green New Deal, liberals aren't going to allow Beto to go too moderate, moderate Dems aren't going to allow anyone to go too left, foreign policy is not going to drastically shift, and even the most progressive appointments are going to come face to face with institutional inertia and court challenges that will bog them down and limit their allowable scope.

Obvi the presidential race is just one small piece of the puzzle. Progressives would need to win majorities in the legislative branch to make substantive changes. I am under no illusion that if by some freak chance Yang gets in all of a sudden we're going to have UBI and everyone is gonna hold hands and sing kumbaya.

One thing that Trump should teach us is how far stonewalling and pushing boundaries can actually take you. He’s gotten a remarkable part of his agenda moved forward to some point without ever having a filibuster proof majority.

Lmao this shit on the lawn, Trump yelling out NO COLLUSION before even being asked a question, bringing out props, saying that he doesn't understand how someone can just write a report out of nowhere when he has the most electoral college votes of all time, still shitting on James Comey, takes shots at Mueller, Rosenstein, says the Mueller report is ridiculous (though he hasn't read it) but wants it to be released to the public, says he interviewed Mueller for head of FBI the day before the probe started.

he is completely rudderless, dude.

It's hard to draw conclusions from anything he says or does. It would make sense to think that he is freaked out by something coming in Mueller's report, but that's assuming that this is a person that functions in a somewhat logical way. And he isn't that person. Everyone has done that song and dance of trying to figure out his internal motivations too many times and it's futile.

It doesn't have to be a theory of the mind.

He's honestly not that difficult to get a beat on most of the time.

Most of the days he's just live-blogging Fox News during "executive" time and when things get really crazy there normally is something in the recent present triggering it.

Trump's motivations are simple, I'd say, it's basic political survival, trying to look good (or his critics look bad) with the smallest effort and probably scheming for his businesses to profit from his office.

However, where I agree with you is that it's hard to follow his logic (he's just as libbing most of the time), it's all reactionary and as such it's pretty obscure what policies he really is trying to push. So far the only thing we can be sure of : he doesn't like foreigners & dark skinned people, he obviously believes in "protectionism" -from walls to tariffs- and on foreign affairs it's all survival of the fittest and being obsessed with extorting as much as possible from the current US standing as possible. That's the stuff where he exhibited some sort of focus and continued interest. The rest is more boilerplate "right wing entrepreneur turned politician" and felt opportunistic or bones thrown at "his" majority.

John Childs, the billionaire financier who is accused of involvement in a Florida prostitution ring, is among the group of wealthy donors who wrote big checks to the Republican National Committee in February, according to a new campaign finance disclosure.

Childs, a longtime Republican donor, cut two checks worth a total of $50,000 to the RNC on February 19, three days before news broke that he was charged with soliciting prostitution at a Florida day spa tied to alleged human trafficking.

The RNC did immediately respond to a request for comment. Childs has denied the allegations, telling Bloomberg in February: “The accusation of solicitation of prostitution is totally false.”
