This. To hell with the inevitable cries of “ageism” that we’ll be hearing from Bernie’s supporters. This job sucks the life out of those who take it seriously. Remember how quickly it wasted Obama? Now the public will be considering that for a man in his late 70's who now has cardiac issues.

I wish him a speedy…

For shits sake, that’s even dumber than their original comment. How does this person breathe and chew gum at the same time?

Seriously. This narcissist can’t even manage to extend empathy to his own children. Who is surprised that his “friends” are also treated like shit?

I’m coming Beanie Boy!!

Starred for being the only person other than my mom who knows this cartoon existed.

I’ve seen a few test shots in the vein of “Warren is being pushed because she’s more appealing to Wall Street” when she started gaining on Bernie around the first and second debates.

I snickered.

Pete Buttigieg, the Rory Gilmore of the Democratic primary

Wall Street mega donors threatening to put their money behind Trump. Zuckerburg opining about how bad she’s going to be for him. The 1% hasn’t been this riled up since FDR. Even Bernie didn’t have them running to the papers like this in 2016.

The OP pointed out that he’s not a medical doctor, and maybe a doctor should have been sought for an article attempting to spin vaping as “ok”. Then you commented that he’s an epidemiologist. I pointed out he wasn’t. Rather than leave it at “I failed to google” and move on, you’ve been scrambling since to attempt to…

“While, perhaps, he should not be giving medical advice, he is very well positioned to talk about health behaviors like addiction, nicotine use, smoking, vaping, etc.”

I’m not arguing so much as pointing out that you’re statements are spinning facts to suit your own purposes, the same way this author is twisting this persons statements for their article. If you don’t want to have your half truths pointed out, maybe use google first.

Saying these are essentially the same thing is disingenuous at best. Especially when the author is using this persons expertise to support their opinion about “vape panic”.

It doesn’t say that he’s an epidemiologist anywhere in his bio. I even searched for combinations of his name and epidemiologist. The only positive result was a study titled “Importance of Survey Design for Studying the Epidemiology of Emerging Tobacco Product Use Among Youth” which he’s oddly not listed as an author…

Unfortunately, the expertise this is mining isn’t from a medical doctor. The assistant professor in this interview is a behavioral scientist who focuses on the societal impacts of tobacco and alternative products.

So the author went and cherry picked a friendly scientist to make an appeal to authority supporting their…

An ouroboros. Or as I like to say, an ouroboros of stupid. 

This is true narcissism. He’s incensed by the public’s inability to perceive his inherent superiority. He continues to implicate himself because his psyche is completely incapable of comprehension of his own wrongdoing. His handlers have completely lost control. There’s not going to be enough pop corn for this melt…

She just can’t win here no matter what she does can she?

This is the smartest thing to do. If people are hoping for the best case scenario (i.e. getting Trump out of office), this is the one that also takes out Pence. Trump has already thrown his ass under the bus. It’s their best shot, and time is limited.

Much more detailed and historically sourced than my short take in agreement. There’s no winning with this blog. The smartest thing they could be doing now being spun as cowardice and the pile on to that shit take is something to behold.

It’s not bad. Splinter just needs to grasp at a reason to bitch about how she’s doing it.

Like, the reasoning for it is shit. Doesn’t make it less effective. It’s a clear violation of the law. A clear conspiracy to obstruct justice. It clearly implicates the VP, and AG with the likely addition of 1 or 2 cabinet…

Nope, fast tracking it is smart. I’m seeing commentary worried that we’ll get stuck with Pence this way . If people are hoping for the best case scenario (i.e. getting Trump out of office), this is the one that also takes out Pence. Trump has already thrown his ass under the bus. Fast tracking it means we get Pelosi…

AirBnB is turning out to be quite the plague.
