“..this will become spin for Pete and somehow, someway Michael Harriot will eventually be labeled as the villain in all of this....”

He’s calculating, that’s what I pick up. The fact that he’s been given all this attention when Booker and Castro have the same pedigree makes me look at him side-eyed. He’s NOT getting my vote. Period. 

“But do you disagree with the point I was making?” Mayor Buttigieg asked, listing a few programs designed to alleviate this specific problem. “Sometimes children don’t get to see the possibilities. Do you think the lack of positive examples of educational success can lead to mistrust and a lack of confidence in…

Of course Buttigieg’s campaign called. I knew it would happen. He’s a democrat in desperate need of black support, so why not?

Not to his face, maybe ...

No, you don’t. Not when he’s had eight years to do something -- anything, especially as he brags about his “record” as an executive even when his constituents have plenty of evidence that all he’s done is throw them repeatedly under the bus — and he literally did nothing.

Well, not In those exact words, but...

“We have to disabuse ourselves from the notion that the problem with educational inequality is because of an esoteric lack of support,” I explained. “That’s a lie. And a man as educated as yourself knows it’s a lie. And to regurgitate that narrative publicly is not just dangerous, it is malpractice.”

Considering they’ve managed to cram all the internal components into a device when folded that is still less than 2x as thick as an iPhone is progress.

But you fold over your iphone 11 and it is >16mm thick, try it!

Please don’t run. Just....don’t.

I like John Legend just fine, but surprised it wasn’t Jason Momoa. I wonder if People approached him but he turned it down.

It’s not her politics or her competency for me, it’s the baggage.

RIP to the Toast and this series I revisit every year this is announced: https://the-toast.net/tag/the-sexiest-man-alive/

Terrible idea for a number of reasons:

You’re probably right but I wish she’d just say she’s not running. I don’t think giving self-flattering and cagey responses to flex her muscles is exactly helpful either. 

Ive never personally found him physically attractive though I definitely see his appeal. He seems to be a loving and supportive husband and father. Who happens to be very talented. 

To be fair she would make an excellent republican candidate.

Oh gods, I didn’t vote for her last time, and I wouldn’t vote for her in the future. She is NOT the president we need, any more than out current Commander-in-Cheetos is. She might possibly be a better president, but that’s a low, low fricking bar, and I’d rather pull the bar off and beat both of them with it until…

So we have two, maybe three, new candidates entering the race. All three are corporate shills.
