It was earlier when Castro said Biden was a pussy

Did I mishear earlier or did Buttigieg straight up say he fucked his commanding officer in the military?

thats why he keeps tweeting about the JDPON coming to kill him. he knows he's become an indulgent first worldist shitstain with all that patreon money.

It's generally not as noticeable until today.

He also needs someone to do his hair and trim that beard.

Okay, I admit, I did not see the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields used in a fucking political attack ad. Hey fuckers, you want to talk about how Nixon's secret bombings in Cambodia helped create the instability that allowed the Khmer Rouge to take power, we can start there. Fucking A, man.

Nate got plenty of shit for his model not having Hillary at 99.99% and instead at like 75%, and then fairly early on election night showing Trump as winning. (Along with the NYT's model which is derived from an older 538 model.)

His biggest 2016 cycle mistake was the whole endorsement based model. Especially since it weighted for things like who State Governors and Senate Chairmen supported but not who Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity supported. Nor did it weight the value of non-endorsements.

I honestly can’t figure out what the Hell Nate means about Klobuchars electability argument. Like... I don’t even know where she’s from. Just that she throws staplers at her staff. Like that’s all anybody knows about her. She gets mad as hell and throws shit. What’s the electability argument in that?

And Jesus, I hope Biden like dies soon or something. Anyone looking st thst guy and thinking this dude who’s too senile to apply fixodent to his dentures is the right guy to nominate is crazy.

She's supposed to appeal to the middle class, because she's from Minnesota, and the middle class loves Minnesota. And hunting! She hunted one time! Just like other people in the Midwest. That's why the people love her, especially in key states like Iowa and Michigan. And Minnesota! Also her dad was a mean drunk, just like people in the Midwest who all have drunken fathers. Appealing! Relatable! Talks about the issues that middle class people probably want to hear about like health care!

Quote
The rear of the cafe buzzes. Reporters love Klobuchar. She cracks jokes, gives good quotes, and reminds everyone of a relative. Maybe her? “She’s great,” someone whispers from the nest of tripods. “And funny too!” Some are repeating their favorite Klobuchar lines, like her bit about Trump being “all foam and no beer.” This is the Minnesota version of “all hat and no cattle,” a standby that holds the record for being told the most times by the most politicians without earning a genuine laugh.

Klobuchar plunges into her speech. It’s border crisis, climate crisis, and jokes about Trump. “All foam and no beer” takes a turn as a metaphor for Trump’s tax plan: “All the beer went to the wealthiest people.”

A 55-year-old cancer survivor named Sue Baethke stands up and asks Klobuchar what she thinks about H-1B visas. Such visas are for “specialty” positions, and are supposed to be used only if companies can’t find a qualified local hire. In practice it’s an insidious loophole that corporations use to replace high-paying American jobs with cheap foreign labor — a kind of government-enabled offshore temp program.

“Under current law,” Baethke asks, “can American companies lay off American high-tech workers and replace them with H-1B visa workers, and pay them less than U.S. wages?”

“Well, they shouldn’t be able to do that,” says Klobuchar, losing eye contact momentarily to take a swig of coffee. She mentions that she’s working on legislation with Sen. Dick Durbin, and says, “You have to have these qualifications in place if you’re going to continue to have H-1B visas,” which, she says, “we’ll probably continue to have.”

Thinking the matter settled, Klobuchar starts to look to the other side of the room. But Baethke’s husband, Morgan, a lean, bright-eyed man with a farmer tan and close-cropped hair, interrupts. He asks the senator if she’s going to do anything to “retroactively” address the problem, i.e., help people who’ve already lost jobs due to this program.

Klobuchar shakes her head. “Yeah, I’ll have to look at that. I just know that we’ve been trying very diligently to put in some checks and balances on that program.” She reiterates that Democrats have already introduced protections to make sure companies don’t give jobs to foreign temp workers unless there’s a qualification issue.

Moreover, she says, Democrats have proposed raising fees for H-1B visas to use the proceeds to retrain those who’ve lost their jobs to more-skilled workers overseas. Even better, there’s an opportunity to strengthen the law through comprehensive immigration reform, which all Democrats are for, she says.

The original questioner, Sue Baethke, tries to point out that H-1B visa holders aren’t immigrants, but Klobuchar ignores her. “It was really a big deal that we had comprehensive immigration reform,” Klobuchar says. “It would solve so much of our problems right now at the border, if we’re able to give a path to citizenship to people that are following the law.”

She turns to the audience. “That’s where this president has completely failed us economically, that we don’t have comprehensive reform.” Klobuchar by now has completely changed the subject, but no one in the room seems to notice. She moves on.

The event ends. In the Des Moines Register the next day, Klobuchar will get excellent reviews, in a story titled “All Foam and No Beer: Back in Iowa After the Debates, Klobuchar Doubles Down on Trump.” It cites audience members at multiple Klobuchar events saying she’s “steady,” “believable,” “thoughtful,” “intelligent,” and “down-to-earth.” It even quotes an attendee from the Winterset event as saying Klobuchar is like a “female Joe Biden without the baggage.”
