The future of the party.

Quote

``I read where Russia is helping Bernie Sanders,” Trump told reporters before leaving on a trip to India. “Nobody said it to me. Nobody said it to me at all. Nobody briefed me about that at all. ... They leaked it.”

Imagine getting mad people don't tell you shit you don't want to hear.

i don't get with the obsession on twitter/foums demanding everyone drop out. super tuesday isn't for a week and all these dopes staying is the best possible situation for bernie. if you are rooting for him why not hope for every one of these moderate types to stay in and split the vote up?

How do I know that important events that advance the plot are happening if characters aren't being eliminated?!? Especially these fringe characters that were only introduced to be taken out at some point like John Hickenlooper and Deval Patrick.

Let's go back to last week

Quote

Bernie Sanders isn't the frontrunner in the Democratic race. The moderates are.

Now that voting has gotten underway, Sanders is the apparent answer. The media quickly proclaimed him the front-runnerafter he took the most votes (albeit by a razor-thin margin) in New Hampshire, demonstrating that he had consolidated the support of the progressive wing of Democratic voters to lead in the polls.

But the rush to crown Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont and self-proclaimed democratic socialist, as the heir apparent to the Democratic nomination overlooks a central dynamic. Sanders is topping the polls as Biden’s support has eroded and the moderate lane has completely fractured. Yet the combined backing for progressive candidates is much lower than it was in the fall — in fact, it now trails the combined support for moderates considerably.

I read recently that Chester A. Arthur apparently spent a couple hours a day working on his beard/facial hair. Of course he'd also try on multiple pairs of pants before deciding which ones to wear.

This is a history nerdsperging thing but I last year for the first time came across a picture of James Weaver after the style changed to finally get rid of the Civil War beards to go to big ass mustaches and it threw me. Books and shit always illustrated him by using one of the bearded photos:
1870s:

1880s:

1890s:

It's always been kind of weird to me how for old timey dudes we often only have like a single photo/painting of them or whatever, so represents them FOREVER at all ages often. (I mean I understand it, but it's kind of a weird thing to picture in your head. Like seeing a Lincoln photo where he has no beard even though he spent his whole life without a beard, he grew it as a playoff beard during the War.)

"You could've prevented this" - From the New York Times Editorial board.

Desperate times require desperate measures. Even though the Democratic field is blessed with best pool of candidates ever assembled(Avengers anyone?) we are rolling fast towards disaster.
Like the Germans at Stalingrad we think we have won but we don't see our enemies lurking behind the fog. Of course I'm talking about the Bernie Bro's. They are ready
to hurl their toxic insult Molotov cocktails at what they call 'elitists'. Echoing the MAGA crowds with hateful rhetoric that would make the German Fuhrer blush they're stopping 'rat' Pete in his tracks.
Boom, another dynamite goes off in the distance and Biden is stuck in the mud. "Drop out! Drop out!" they chant as they chop off his head not unlike the scenes from when we finally got to Qaddafi.
As the brainless empty vessels fill the air waves with the messages of the Kremlin. Who would've thought that it was not the GRU avant la lettre in the likes of Rudy Giuliani but
Bernie Sanders that would stick the dagger in the Caesar of our times? Michael Bloomberg, more a man than a god, struck down with a fatal blow because of a failure in character not policy.

As Mike screams for help that not even his billions can buy him Amy is caught off guard, defeated by a devastating blow from the right wing trolls and memes seeking to destroy the last remainder of our
once great party. All that is left is the rallying cry of Elizabeth Warren. Once thought to be the designated survivor of a long and bloody battle between Bernard and Joe Biden.
Now battle hardened by insults from Trump but also under siege from within our own ranks. The betrayal of Warren at the behest of Putin is the biggest political blunder
in the history of our great Democracy. Like Hillary Clinton another woman has to face sexism, harassment and dare I say abuse at the hands of Bernard Sanders.
Perhaps Disney can finally do something meaningful again and make a movie out of that 'Pocahontas' story of hope, diversity and empowerment instead of pumping billions into showing off muscular men in leather suits
playing with cheap toys and keeping women strapped to their role as the needy and pretty.

Back to the topic at hand a shadowy figure once able to unleash his socialist spell on Vermont has now evolved into a parasite taking over our party from those that want better things for America.
Moscow says our country should no longer be Democratic and behold the minions of Bernie and Trump snuff out the last light of the barge crossing the Potomac river.
Perhaps both Trump and Bernie should go on Honeymoon to Russia together and end this false charade of rivalry? Tulsi gleefully drops out as Bernard clinches the nomination and chokes out our last line of defense
when he denies Hillary Clinton a spot at the table. Et tu Yang? The man that said impeachment was a waste of time suddenly finds himself not wasting his time at CNN.
If we didn't know better we'd put him in the Kremlin column but Yang seems even too radical for the cold war spy masters seeking vengeance against our beacon of hope.

As the lifeless bodies of our great field of heroes hit the floor and the socialist stampede runs over them... the drums of war can be heard in the distance.
"Socialist! Communist! Maoist! Marxist!". Can we say the Trumpers are wrong when they say executions in Wall Street are next? Dare we say the President's son is wrong
when he says that after our healthcare they'll come after the food and farms next? The introduction of collective farming in the United States of America will no doubt introduce the side product of collective famine as well.

What about American power in the world, when the President sides with Hizbollah, Maduro and perhaps Putin? What even can big tech do when the socialists demand to look into our private lives? A surveillance apparatus that would make the hated East German Stasi blush in the hands of the reds? Democrats far and wide, would have no choice but to vote for the man who might secretly be a Russian asset but he's not Bernie Sanders. Yes Bernie will unite us, but not
under the banner of Bernie. The second Trump inauguration accumulates in the biggest political rally the world has ever seen with Kanye and Joe Rogan holding hands singing the national anthem no doubt at gunpoint.
Don Jr. becomes President of the World Bank. Ivanka Trump becomes the UN Secretary General. Some of us might be lucky enough to get some scraps because it keeps the markets from sinking and that would make the new emperor look bad.

Not them, us. Unity everyone. Thank you Bernie.

What of the world in this American tragedy? Putin retakes Constantinople for starters and from his cell in Guantanamo, once built to liberate the oppressed from the Taliban, Bernie cheers him on.
Our legions of freedom and liberty vacate the fields of Afghanistan and the state our sweat, tears and blood soaked ideals of persistence and equal rights for all genders created in Iraq.
Europe turns ever more inward as if that was even possible. Suckling on, excuse the language, the teet of mother Russia for gas, energy and earthly pleasures.
Ivanka waves and smiles when the brown shirts patrol the great cities of the old Continent.

You, yes you, the American voter could've prevented all of this if you just sat down and listened and backed a sensible candidate like Joseph Biden or Amy Klobuchar.

We vowed to not repeat history after 1945 but here we are and we couldn't help ourselves to make it echo.

Quote from: https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/23/politics/intelligence-briefer-russian-interference-trump-sanders/

Washington (CNN)The US intelligence community's top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community's formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN.

The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.

The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia's interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said.

"The intelligence doesn't say that," one senior national security official told CNN. "A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it's a step short of that. It's more that they understand the President is someone they can work with, he's a dealmaker."

Pierson's characterization of Russian interference led to pointed questions from lawmakers, which officials said caused Pierson to overstep and assert that Russia has a preference for Trump to be reelected.

One intelligence official said that Pierson's characterization of the intelligence was "misleading" and a national security official said Pierson failed to provide the "nuance" needed to accurately convey the US intelligence conclusions.

Oh, well, close enough anyway. #DropOutNowBernie

Quote

Former Vice President Joe Biden attributed his drop in African American support ahead of the South Carolina primary to billionaire Tom Steyer’s spending in the state in a Sunday interview on “Face the Nation.”

“What’s happening is you have Steyer spending millions of dollars out campaigning there, so I think a lot’s happening in terms of the amount of money being spent by billionaires to try to cut into the African American vote,” Biden told CBS’ Margaret Brennan.

Quote

Biden also doubled down on calling on Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to disavow abusive supporters or those claiming to be supporters, which the Vermont senator has done on multiple occasions, saying “that’s Trump-like stuff.”

The former vice president went on to implicitly contrast himself with both President Trump and Sanders in the wake of reports that Russia had acted to intervene on the two candidates’ behalf.

“The Russians don’t want me to be the nominee … no one’s helping me to try to clinch the nomination.”

Biden also claimed Facebook had alerted him to bot traffic attempting to spread misinformation about him.

Does Steyer have any ties to the Russians?

Quote

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) racked up an impressive win in the Nevada caucuses, crushing his opponents and expanding his support to older voters and Hispanics. Unless Democrats manage to alter the race swiftly and dramatically, a 78-year-old socialist with a history of praising left-wing dictatorships will be the Democratic presidential nominee. While no one should exclude the possibility that Sanders might beat President Trump, his manifest weaknesses and extreme ideology make such a victory unlikely, thereby subjecting the country to the horror of another four years of an unhinged, authoritarian president. We should shudder at the prospect of what the country might look like after another Trump term — especially if, as is likely with Sanders at the top of the ticket, the Republicans retain their Senate majority.

Quote

What, if anything, can Democrats do in the next week or so to change the trajectory of the race? There is very little chance that they will do what is necessary; that would require selflessness and self-reflection as well as party leadership, none of which is evident in today’s Democratic Party.

Nevertheless, there are steps Democrats could take to save the party and the country. First, former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg has offered a model for other candidates in making Sanders the top target. Buttigieg will hang on for now, relying on his results in Iowa and New Hampshire, and what looks like a barely adequate third-place finish in Nevada. In a speech Saturday night, Buttigieg laid out an effective case against Sanders:

That is how it is done, and Buttigieg must bring that firepower to the next debate.

Second, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) must step away. Coming in fifth and third in the first two races respectively, and expected to finish sixth in Nevada, Klobuchar — despite her feisty demeanor and practical agenda — has no path to the nomination. The 5 percent to 7 percent or so of the electorate that has supported her certainly could be used by a more viable candidate.

Third, Tom Steyer’s vanity run should end as well. The share of the nonwhite voters he draws is desperately needed by a viable candidate, which in South Carolina is former vice president Joe Biden. Steyer has zero delegates and has placed near the bottom of the pack in each contest. No amount of spending will lift him into contention.

Fourth, Steyer and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg should use their millions to go after Sanders, the candidate who threatens to sew up the race before Bloomberg gets started. They would do the party a favor, frankly, by getting all the opposition research out there now so that Trump does not spring it in the final days of the general election. (If Bloomberg’s next debate performance is anything like the last, he will need to bow out as well; there are not enough ads in the world to compensate for a candidate who cannot perform live.)

Fifth, both candidates and elected leaders in the party must demand that Sanders release all medical records, as he promised. This transparency is essential both to inform the public and to inoculate Sanders against Trump’s inevitable attacks, if Sanders becomes the nominee, that would portray him at death’s door. At the next debate, Sanders’s rivals should be united and resolute in their demands. Moreover, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) needs to turn all her considerable firepower on Sanders in the next debate, and would earn the gratitude of her party and a top Cabinet post if she blocked his ascent. She should present Sanders with a consent form authorizing release of all of his medical records.

Sixth, Biden, who kept himself in the running with a second-place finish in Nevada, needs to do something dramatic to shake things up and emerge as a Sanders alternative. In Nevada, Biden won a healthy share of nonwhite voters and delivered a muscular speech going after Sanders. "I ain’t a socialist,” he said. “I ain’t a plutocrat. I’m a Democrat. And proud of it! ... I was proud to have, and run with, Barack Obama. I promise you, I wasn’t talking about running a Democratic primary against him in 2012.” (A recent Atlantic magazine report documented how Sanders flirted with a primary challenge that year.) Biden needs to keep hitting at Sanders, but he should also consider announcing an exciting running mate, possibly a woman of color. Stacey Abrams or Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) would add pizzazz and offer the hope of a female African American president should Biden decide not to run in 2024. If he can deliver an impressive win in South Carolina, he will be the party’s best hope to block Sanders.

Kinda crazy seeing MSNBC freak out lol

They lost the plot the day after the 2016 election when they started believing in the rumors they made up themselves with their guests such as John Brennan that Trump was a Russian asset.

And when Trump says the intelligence agencies spied on his campaign (which they aptly named OPERATION CROSSFIRE HURRICANE) he's obviously lying.

Quote from: https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/23/politics/intelligence-briefer-russian-interference-trump-sanders/
Washington (CNN)The US intelligence community's top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community's formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN.

The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.

The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia's interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said.

"The intelligence doesn't say that," one senior national security official told CNN. "A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it's a step short of that. It's more that they understand the President is someone they can work with, he's a dealmaker."

Pierson's characterization of Russian interference led to pointed questions from lawmakers, which officials said caused Pierson to overstep and assert that Russia has a preference for Trump to be reelected.

One intelligence official said that Pierson's characterization of the intelligence was "misleading" and a national security official said Pierson failed to provide the "nuance" needed to accurately convey the US intelligence conclusions.
Oh, well, close enough anyway. #DropOutNowBernie

I can tell by that quote that The new dude is the “senior security official”. The “he’s a deal maker” gives it away.
