I would have guessed you were born in Daly City at worst.
I was born in San Francisco after a taxi ride from Daly City. And proud!

I knew it! I had a project that required me to go to Bakersfield every month for 6 months. You are not remotely fat or white enough to be a product of that forsaken city.


There are plenty of Asians in the valley. 300lb Asians.

Mired near the bottom of most polls at 1 percent or less, she has drawn thinner crowds on the trail than the top contenders, and her televised CNN town hall event drew the worst ratings of any weekday town hall that the network has hosted. She has struggled to secure home-state support and also faced a complaint about her own office’s handing of a sexual harassment complaint that eventually resulted in the departure of the aide in question.

PoliBore: Mandatory IUDs are sexist

A businessman is preparing to have a hysterectomy after doctors discovered he was born with a womb.

The 37-year-old Lancashire man discovered he has a full set of female reproductive organs after undergoing scans for suspected bladder cancer.

"It appears I could even potentially get pregnant. But I've been told by doctors I'll be having a hysterectomy in the next few weeks. Bizarrely, that could lead to menopause."

that'd be kinda hot though :smug

seriously thought, those are clearly corporate designers that went political.


Bernie though, that dude's logo looks straight from the 65's

Betraying anxiety about Biden’s standing here, Trump sought to undermine Biden’s local credentials. Biden was born in Scranton in 1942, but his family moved from the state in 1953.

“He's not from Pennsylvania,” Trump said. “I guess he was born here, but he left you folks. He left you for another state. Remember that, please....He left you for another state, and he didn't take care of you, because he didn't take care of your jobs. He let other countries come in and rip off America. That doesn't happen anymore."

These people are really trying to do this? You're not 8 or 12 years old, you can't say Obama inspired you while running for POTUS as a fucking 30 or 40 fucking year old.

Latest Sign of Beto O’Rourke’s Flameout: Opposition Research Requests Have ‘Died Off’
Quote
In the days leading up to Beto O’Rourke’s presidential campaign, a top Republican opposition research firm was brimming with requests from political reporters angling for dirt.

America Rising, a political action committee that shared details of its internal inquiries with The Daily Beast, said the asks came from a dozen or more reporters and ranged from broad questions to more tailored points of interest.

But 10 weeks after O’Rourke’s official launch, those requests are virtually nonexistent.

“The requests for oppo on him have completely died off,” a staffer at the oppo group said.

...

America Rising, which has cornered the market on opposition research on the nearly two dozen presidential contenders, has tracked what it considers a steady decline in the public’s interest in O’Rourke.

The Republican National Committee, known for slinging insults about Democrats into mainstream consciousness, has not received any requests from reporters for O’Rourke information in recent weeks, according to a senior official.
                is this a form of opposition research?

Actually sounds plausible to me. He spent his 20's as an urban creative type (subsidized by his business-owning parents) and his first run for public office was after Obama had given that famous keynote speech at the Democratic convention.

Obama's been a national figure for a decade and a half now. We're all getting old.

Sure, but this stinks of this guy ( beto? ) trying to get some shine off a popular person. Beto seems like a super great guy with great morals and ethics and people around him that want good for everybody.

But he's coming off like a huge fucking fake.

Let me stand on shit. *hoarse voice*

He's not a great guy, and while his statement about being inspired by President Obama may be true, it's extremely difficult to not see it through a cynical lens when you've read much of anything about his rise in local politics.

The other Castro brother also passed on a Senate run. Ditto the Dem attorney general in North Carolina.
