VP race?


Karen Bass is a lunatic Fidel Castro acolyte, who praise Scientology and once belonged to an armed revolutionary group. She's out.

Stacey Abrams is so delusional she thinks she's the Governor of Georgia, and by the way, she's essentially unemployed. In one of her last regular jobs, she wrote bad porn novels -- for real.


Kamala Harris, meanwhile, is so transparently transactional that even Democratic primary voters who have a strong stomach found her repulsive. Pretty much no one who knows Kamala Harris likes her.


The odds have seemed to shift dramatically in another direction, away from Karen Bass and Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams, and towards someone you have seen before. That would be former National Security Adviser, Susan Rice.




-------

Say what you will about Susan Rice and we're about to, but she is not a buffoon.

Susan Rice is smart. She is hard-eyed. She is experienced.

Susan Rice knows exactly what she wants and she understands the system well enough to get it.

She is a threat.

Nothing like looking to the nonsensical ramblings of a racist who employs white supremacists on his writing staff for opinions on Biden's Black VP choices.

Needs doesnt like the Rice pick


A Harris guy, I guess.

I think the delay is they are still looking for their Palin - their Game Change.

Top of the line interpretative skills, as ever, Kid.

Pay no attention whatsoever to what was said, but make up your own bullshit.

I think the delay is they are still looking for their Palin - their Game Change.

They could just take the original - and I do mean original - she was a doozy!

We don't need our game changed as much as Palin changed McCain's.

Then again, neither did McCain.

Palin's been pretty quiet for a while now. Wonder what's up with her, though not enough to bother doing more than writing this sentence.

I wonder what response the US government will make to the explosion in Lebanon.

Yikes.
I took a trip to Malta and Cyprus in late Feb to March 3. 
And had wanted to fly in/out of Beirut, but Lebanon was experiencing protests and economic turmoil.  So instead we used Athens as our base, which worked well, since people were really friendly in Athens and the food is terrific.

But I had researched quite a bit for a 4 or 5 days in Lebanon.  There are some ancient Roman ruins in Baalbek, near the border with Syria, a few world-class vineyards in the Bekaa Valley (two were recently rated in the Top 40 worldwide), and the world's largest statue of the Virgin Mary on a hill outside Beirut aka Our Lady of Lebanon, plus both Beirut and a coast to explore.  I was looking forward to Lebanon.

Last year their prime minister was kidnapped by Saudi Arabia, resigned, then returned and was reinstated.  But I think he resigned again during the protests last Fall.  Lebanon's currency has lost 80% of its value this year.   USD has traditionally been used as a secondary currency.   But not sure how folks survive when their money becomes worthless.

I can only imagine that CV-19 has made it even more clear how important health insurance is.

Not to mention, how potentially catastrophic tying health care to employment can be.

Back to 36/49 today

Has it occurred to you yet that a number that jumps around that much from day to day is useless?

[facilitatorn]

Trump has a solid 40% regardless what he does or says.

During the debate he could reach in his pants pull out a lump of shit and throw it at Martha Raddatz and his base would claim it a superior debating technique.

Fuck trying to change anyone’s mind.

Just help the 60% get their votes cast and counted.

“Keep marching”.

Trump's African American outreach is going well.
