Biden's not coming off good brehs 

[BisMarckie]

Kamala‘s voice trembling sounded so incredibly fake.

She has done it twice now

Uh, no, dude, that woman is actually mad as hell.

Maybe I am too much of a cynic, but it seemed like a calculated move and not genuine at all.
But maybe my dislike for Kamala is clouding my judgement.

I called harris as a presidential front runner the day she won her senate seat

But you fools don't listen to me

Bennett sounds sedated

she is Attorney General material

we have had TV debates for 17 years now, but it’s so incredibly different. It’s so much less emotionalized.

That's what I mean, the UK debates used to be ten times more boring than the Commons is on a weekly basis, but they were totally like nah, enough of that. And other countries have all been copying it because the same political advisers go all over the world saying the same thing to all the campaigns. Most of them are trained here and the whole 24/5 CYCLE becomes part of how you just do things. There's a book on this for us official academic types like you, me and Glen but I can't remember the name at all or the author, it has a funny chapter on Iraq and Egypt candidates trying to copy our morons by watching untranslated YouTubes.

[BisMarckie]

Bennett sounds sedated

Maybe he had a drink with Yang while Kamala murdered Biden?

these intra-party debates are like nba summer league, they don’t show you which guys can play, they show you who can’t

It's both. Harris's parents are both educated, and has money. Still living in mid 60-70s Oakland was probably still tough for a young kid.

Kamala Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, to a Tamil Indian mother and a Jamaican father. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, was a breast cancer scientist who immigrated to the United States from Madras (present-day Chennai) in 1960.[3][4] Her father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University economics professor who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics at University of California, Berkeley.[5][6] Recalling the lives of his grandmothers, Donald Harris wrote that one was related to a plantation and slave owner while the other had unknown ancestry.[7] In a 2019 interview, Kamala Harris said, "'I am black and I am proud of it.'"[8]

[Kara]

benji, I know you're not a Say's law guy anymore, but do you still chuckle when U.S. politicians complain about the PRC manipulating the value of their currency?

[Phoenix Dark]

The juxtaposition of democrats focusing entirely on fantasy federal solutions while republicans dominate state policies that actually impact people's lives. Harsh realities.

[Himu]

Just tuning in. Who is winning?

People were centered in the politics of JFK's day, just ask the guys who went to the Bay of Pigs!

Holy shit, New Zealand reference.

COVER STORY : The Power, the Glory, the Glitz : Marianne Williamson, an ex-nightclub singer, has attracted many in Hollywood with her blend of new-time religion and self-help--and alienated more than a few

Wearing feathers in her hair, spike heels and a strapless evening gown, Marianne Williamson, New Age guru of the hour, is seated on a hotel ballroom stage in Marina del Rey, shoulder to shoulder with unmarried soap opera actors and other eligible and glamorous singles. Amid much banter and giggling, they will be "auctioned off" by talk-show host Cyndy Garvey and producer-director Garry Marshall.

Laura Dern and Linda Blair are no-shows, but Williamson, on the verge of becoming almost as famous as they are, will wait patiently for two hours until it is her turn to go on the block. She will answer politely when Garvey asks her how to pronounce Muse, the name of the restaurant where she plans to take her date. She will urge Marshall to tell the well-toned crowd that she is "very interesting." In exchange for an evening in her company, a man from the Midwest will contribute $1,200 to the Family Assistance Program, a charity for the homeless.

Although on other nights she exhorts her followers to give themselves up to God, there is nothing incongruous in her now offering herself up at a bachelor-bachelorette auction. This, after all, is Hollywood, and Williamson, who has been mentioned in the same breath as Mother Teresa for her work on behalf of people with AIDS, is no stranger to the combined worlds of glitz and good causes.

In a field crowded with purveyors of spiritual wisdom, the 39-year-old tough-talking, quick-witted former nightclub singer from Texas has blazed her way to the top.

The "spoiled child" of a Houston immigration lawyer, she dropped out of college in her junior year and roamed around the country, leading a dissolute life as a singer, cocktail waitress, office temp and bookseller and getting involved in a series of unhappy relationships. She was married once, she says, "for a minute and a half."
