So today, I want to do something that most presidential campaigns would not do:

I want to ask you to make another donation today, but not just to me — to split it between twelve other progressive candidates and elected officials running for office at all levels of government:

Florida Dems

“You’re homophobes, that’s what you all are, you’re homophobes!” a Buttigieg supporter yelled at the protesters after the event.

“We’re all gay!” a protester responded.

One proposal the Trump administration is considering is creating tax incentives intended to encourage U.S. households to invest in the stock market, CNBC reported on Friday, citing four senior administration officials.

A separate payroll tax cut would be an option only if the strength of the economy drastically declined, CNBC reported, citing two senior Trump administration officials.

This administration and the fucking stock market.

Lawyer Michael Avenatti has been found guilty on all counts of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike.

The verdict was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, which brought the case.

Avenatti faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison. A judge set sentencing for June.

After his poor showing in Iowa and NH, how might this alter his Nevada chances?

what a dick

[EightBitNate]

Kinda fucked of Yang to not just endorse Bernie. Such a little bitch.

[Transhuman]

Well... it' not like he's endorsing anyone else, and the majority of Yang voters are pretty clearly going to go to Bernie anyways.

[james]

Anyone who doesn't endorse bernie is the enemy

 I'm gonna give Bloomberg the benefit of the doubt for now and say he's buying up people who would otherwise be bought by Republicans as a long game.

Editorial: Amy Klobuchar will change the tone of national politics
U.S. senator from Minnesota provides best opportunity for California Democrats who want to win back the presidency

The United States needs a president who can heal the nation’s deep political divide — who can work with, and appeal to, members of both parties and independents.

Someone with a proven record of collaboration who can meaningfully address climate change, provide health care for all, achieve responsible gun control, resolve the bitterness over immigration, protect our environment, address tech privacy and anti-trust issues, and regain international respect for our country. And someone who can change the tone and tenor of our national politics.

The Democratic candidate who can best do that is Amy Klobuchar.

“I’m someone who tries to find that common ground,” she told our editorial board. “Courage is being willing to stand next to someone you don’t always agree with for the good of this country.”

Of the leading primary contenders, the U.S. senator from Minnesota would provide the party’s best chance of victory in November. She may be too centrist for some voters in our deep blue state. But she understands California’s issues, especially related to technology, better than many of our own elected leaders. Besides, California Democrats and independents participating in the March 3 primary would be wise to remember that their politics are not shared across the nation.

Klobuchar applies to her presidential quest the same inclusionary strategy that has bolstered her support in Minnesota. “I am the one that is going to be able to build that coalition of people that can win,” she said. “My policies are bold, but they are practical.”

Infusing it all is Klobuchar’s profound sense of realism. She doesn’t pander.

Discussing health care options during the October debate, she challenged Sanders and Warren’s single-payer approach: “The difference between a plan and a pipe dream is something you can actually get done. And we can get this public option done.”

While many other candidates have dropped off the radar and out of the race, Klobuchar has hung on and has finally started to get the media and voter attention she deserves. It’s still early, but the primary pace will accelerate rapidly in the next 2 1/2 weeks with the Nevada caucuses on Feb. 22, the South Carolina primary on Feb. 29 and the March 3 primaries in 14 states, including California.

The results from the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, albeit terribly small, suggest that a majority of Democrats are wisely looking for a centrist candidate. Sanders has garnered the most votes only because the moderate vote splintered between three candidates. Most Democrats are not seeking a political revolution like Sanders and Warren advocate.

Of the centrists, former Vice President Joe Biden’s surprisingly poor finishes raise questions about his staying power; Pete Buttigieg’s only political experience, as mayor of South Bend, Ind., gives one pause, however articulate he may be; and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, with troubling questions about his treatment of women, seems to want to bypass the vetting process the others have been subjected to.

Klobuchar is gaining traction because she has become more effective and articulate with each debate. Voters are realizing that she has the energy, character, compassion, intelligence and common sense to win in November.

Californians should support Klobuchar.

why would u take a lap in a fucking limo instead of one of those nascar vehicles

i hate this trash idiot

Secret Service #1: "Sir you can't drive in a NASCAR car it would be too dangerous, imagine if something would happen"
Secret Service #2: "Yes *cough* imagine"

Trump: "Ok, what about the limo isn't the beast bullet proof"

Mulvaney: "Well sir, that would look pretty bad and..."

Trump: "I DON'T RECALL ASKING YOU SHIT MICK"

Secret Service #2: "Well technically you could sir but it would be a logistical nightmare for the weekend shift hehe"

Trump: "Well remember what Kennedy once said fellas "we don't do things because they are easy but because we get hard"""

Secret Service #1: "*sigh*"

trump wanting to do a lap in a Nascar is fantastic

Its probably 100% related to that episode of getting coffee in car with Seinfeld episode where they joker about not being able to leave the lawn.

Hey look at what Biden's supposed numbers were vs. what he's actually done in the polls. They're just desperate to make anyone happen.

All bets are off regarding ethical and accurate polling. They have the data and money to microtarget areas to get results they need.

it's how trumps path to the electoral college was delivered.

Because his base doesn't care:



Quite literally, his base of shithead cops (of which I know one, hello high-school) doesn't give a fuck because "Trump good! Nascar good! Therefore Trump driving Nascar track = double-plus good!"

The one trump policy I support is stealing from the military budget to build wall.

1) it mostly fucks states that vote trump
2) rather piss money away to build wall than piss it away on military funding

I wonder what the next construction project will be when the wall is finished.

A moon base? Space elevator? Trump airport? Trump Island?
Perhaps a magnet train rail connecting Mar-a-Lago Florida to the White House and Trump Tower or a giant dam to regulate the waste of water in California.

That was very authentic and still important to hear.

On MSNBC they had a reverend on air saying that Bloomberg's apology isn't good enough. They went,"well let's stop talking about racial discrimination and talk about Bloomberg's memes". So this discussion is very important and it being out there is too.

We are literally in a situation where people are dismissing Bloomberg's record. Sylvester Turner said we shouldn't judge people by their prior mistakes.

So continuing to publicly decry Bloomberg's record is very, very important.

How is this video in any way inauthentic?

[Transhuman]

How is this video in any way inauthentic?

Well he did throw in jokes...

Honestly even down to his demeanor and the way he moves his hands, it's just a presentation to him, it's all patter. I know at the end of the day it's designed to make the audience feel a certain way, but at least with Stewart you could sense his rage and disgust when he spoke.

Maybe i'd appreciate Noah more if there had never been a Stewart.

It's that bad?!
