Warren herself just confirmed this is what she heard him say, so I assume there will be more nonsense emanating from on both sides over this. Sigh.

I love Bernie, I caucused for him against Hillary last time around and will happily vote for him again if he’s the candidate — but don’t allow yourself to imagine that he doesn’t have personal background that will be mercilessly exploited against him, like anyone else. Warren never published an essay on how women…

Saw this recently and had to think of you:

I’m convinced he just got his head stuck in a vase.

It’s also laughable that they want the whistleblower to be outed in order to reveal ... more “hearsay” -- when their own leader is the one blocking actual testimony from the people directly involved.

If they don’t like “hearsay”, ask them to tell their congresscritters to get Trump to stop blocking the testimony of the actual people involved. Sheesh.

Possibly, but the voting coalition and economic circumstances that got Trump into office are really a historical one-off that is very unlikely to be repeated. We may get another populist, but it will have a very different valence, possibly even be a Dem like Sanders.

I had no rights to assume that we could walk into any country and stay much less disrupt the existing citizenry lives

I’ll vote for my cat-shredded ottoman if it wins the Dem nom, no fears. But I really don’t think Biden has a better chance in the general than the others who are also polling above Trump  — the man has already lost at this Presidential run two times, and that was back when he had more energy. I just don’t see it. What…

when you’re [sic] candidacy is based around the idea that all things are achievable through engagement and hard work—even things that everybody knows are not achievable

I went to Fox the other day, a rare occurrence, just to see how the news of Trump’s having to pay the fines for his corrupt Foundation was being presented. Not an article on the topic to be seen, lol.

What state is healthcare/the ACA in KY in at the moment? Tatters or revivable?

Unfortunately, primary voters in other states (along the bloggers they read) don’t tend to think about such niceties in their choices. I’ll say one thing about the process prior to 1972: as bad as the political bosses could be, they cared deeply about stuff down to the county level since that’s where their patronage…

And she will now be Supervisor where Trump’s golf course sits. Heh.

I can’t find it now, but there used to be a really great site that had women upload photos of themselves in their undergarments, their weight, measurements and dress size. It was the most eye-opening thing, and super helpful for understanding why clothing manufacturers have such a difficult time getting sizing correct…

Ha! Same thing in German — it’s a turtle or a “land turtle” (which nobody ever uses).

I’m a Gawker-Splinter refugee, so this entire wanton destruction of what was formerly Gizmodo Media Group has hit a little hard. I really hope Jez et al are not next in their targets, but I wouldn’t be terribly optimistic. :(

Oh no, I detest the movie, I meant the tragic shipwreck of Deadspin. :)

We’re .. we’re not really talking about the Titanic here, are we?

As a longtime Gawker Fusion Splinter reader-commenter, this bad judgement simply amazes me. Like leaving money lying on a table!
