Sotomayor insults colleagues

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/23/politics/sotomayor-dissent-supreme-court/index.html

Sotomayor is honest about colleagues.

Kid cannot stand it.

It’s why popular vote losers should be prevented from making lifetime judicial appointments.

"Doesn't he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) want to see who the Democrat's going to be? Wouldn't you rather have, let's say, Bernie? Wouldn't he rather have Bernie, who honeymooned in Moscow?" Trump said.

At least Bernie's boudoir companion in Moscow didn't need a diaper.

Quote
"At a recent CNN town hall, Warren praised the women of Black Womxn For, calling us “pushy.” She wasn’t wrong — on that Sunday morning call in the midst of a highly competitive race, we pushed her and she listened. It was the first time I’d witnessed a powerful politician and major Democratic presidential candidate admit that she had made a mistake (when called out the first time, not the fifth), then immediately commit to doing differently in the future and lay out what she would do to fix inhumane practices in our criminal justice system.

I’m used to elected officials, even those who espouse progressive or even radical politics, failing at having difficult conversations about issues disproportionately impacting Black communities. I’ve come to expect elected officials to close their doors to concerns brought forth by Black people, especially Black women — only willing to open them after we bang loudly.

While taking responsibility for her actions is not inherently exceptional, Warren’s ability to do so and to grow from the experience is an exception in a political climate where personality is gaining traction over strategy and the ability to get things done.

Our exchange — along with Warren's Working Agenda for Black America, which focuses on making big structural changes in health care, student loan debt, access to free college, housing, and the criminal legal system — assured me that I should put my vote, money, and time toward supporting her candidacy."

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
