I was at Obama's speech in Elkhart today. It was a really good breakdown of counterpoints to Trump's entire economic platform. My friend and I started a "four more years" chant at the beginning lol.

Bernie hiring Jeff Weaver, and not having fired him yet, is some sad shit. I guess they've been working together for a long time, but man Weaver sucks ass.

What has Weaver accomplished

He's talking to a co-author of Dodd-Frank

Sigh

Did you hear what was yelled near the beginning of his speech when Obama replied "I can't do that. The constitution and more importantly Michele won't let me!" I couldn't hear over the video

Just watching that Matthews clip, the way Sanders' campaign has played out makes a lot more sense when you think about having fuckwads like Weaver in your ear the whole way.

But Donald Trump is not much of a reader, despite having written The Art of the Deal, “the number 1 selling business book of all time.” Asked by Megyn Kelly what his favorite book is besides The Art of the Deal, Trump chose All Quiet on the Western Front. (Not sure what happened to the Bible!) Kelly, perhaps sensing that Trump may not have read a book since sixth grade, asked him to name the last book he read. “I read passages, I read areas, chapters, I don’t have the time,” Trump said. “When was the last time I watched a baseball game? I’m watching you all the time.”

"Name three Supreme Court cases, Donald." "Name a State Senator from New York." "Name three Supreme Court justices." "Name two US Representatives from your state."

There are a lot of minefield questions out there to make The Donald look
even more
incompetent.

So he chooses to watch her show over reading books? Sad!

Edit: Was this before or after that softball interview she gave him?

Did you read the Daily Beast ariticle on Goodman?

Its amazing
Click to expand...

I'm curious if he has thin skin or just blocks people on Facebook. He seems to like a lot of the replies people leave on his screeds. He might have a lot invested in his ego. I can almost imagine an epic meltdown via trolling. I feel like someone like HA Goodman has the potential to be the most entertaining salt volcano next Tuesday.

Also, I wonder if his telephone number is still around. Not for anything nasty, I mean, just to pester him a bit.

After DC, he'll bow out and release his delegates. It's a long month until the convention, and the headlines will be brutal. Also, why pay Weaver for that month?

Would be legitimately surprised if this happened. I mean, he posted this on his official website just yesterday.

Anyways, Sanders knows he's not going to be the nominee, so why would he release his taxes when there is no reason to do so?

At this point it's pretty meaningless, yeah, with this being over (for realsies) Tuesday. Would love to know what hilariously damaging stuff is in there, though!

I already know how he thinks and what his response would be.

He would point out that those women Trump criticized are "asking for it" because they only care about "their appearance" and serve to be "vases in the room" (decoration). Or he'd say that maybe they should have kept quiet and not said anything at all. My dad's definitely super conservative so to him, women's right to choose is totally not a thing.

As for future prospects, my dad buys into the idea that if you bootstrap you can do it. He'll point to himself as an example ("my parents never gave me anything, I earned everything, I worked hard, I was smarter, etc").

So, he'd basically tell me that if I don't draw attention to myself, "act properly" (dress properly, speak properly, not stick out), and keep my head down and "work hard" and do the right things, I should have no worry.

(My dad has trouble having empathy for others. I used to be like him, so I really understand where he's coming from because he's the one that taught me all my views, but I think growing up on the internet and having a bit of my mom in my personality really helped.)

Who murders their professor over failing their prelims? Jesus christ.

Iraq War veteran Corinne Sommer is not allowed to talk about the settlement she reached with Trump University after she was fired in 2007.

But in a deposition first made public on Tuesday, Sommer said she believed the real estate seminar provider terminated her because her military commitments as a reservist interfered — a little — with her work as an events planner for the company.

“I was fired because I was in the military,” she told attorneys as part of an unrelated fraud case against Trump University. “At the end of my [performance] evaluation, they wrote that it was a problem that I was in the military.” Sommer was an Army staff sergeant who had deployed to Iraq in 2003.

Things have gone well for Trump recently.

Bernie why can't you just go away.

I don't know if I've ever felt so strongly the need to want to approach someone I don't know who is a national figure and tell them to shut the fuck up.

You watch that interview with Weaver and Frank and you can see how smitten the Sanders campaign is with the turmoil and dragging this out until the last second of the convention for NO REASON.

For another reason, the Sanders campaign is the one generating the most excitement. “Our campaign has the energy and enthusiasm that Clinton does not,” Sanders said. “I believe we can leave that convention with the Democratic nomination.”

If energy, enthusiasm, and excitement were the key factors parties would take into account when choosing a candidate, Ron Paul would have been the Republican nominee years ago.

I so hope he gives up when he loses California, but somehow I doubt he will.

If your dad is all about bootstraps, maybe bring up the fact that Trump was born on 3rd Base and thinks he hit a triple.

No wonder Salon is shit:

I reached out to David Daley, the executive editor of Salon, which gives Goodman perhaps his biggest platform.
Daley told me that he reached out to Goodman after reading his pro-bono columns over at the Huffington Post, and was impressed enough to repurpose one of them for his site. Every time Goodman puts something up over at HuffPo, he sends to Daley, who estimated that they end up publishing—and paying for—only about a quarter of what he pitches.
“He is the full-throated avatar of the Bernie-Or-Bust movement,” Daley told me. “This is an important element of the progressive cause right now and it deserves a voice.”

Geographically, Clinton is ahead in the Bay Area (56 percent to 42 percent) and Los Angeles County (54 percent to 40 percent), while Sanders has the advantage in the inland/valley areas (54 percent to 44 percent) and the coastal region (58 percent to 36 percent).

I brought up the website and had them request absentee ballots.

Sure, if the phrase, "I, Donald J. Trump, believe President Obama will go down in history as one of the top presidents and I fully endorse Hillary Clinton", comes out of his mouth then I think people would change their minds.
