She's a blasian woman so she's basically a super minority (Jamaican and Indian).
Now I had a vision of Obama giving his farewell address in a tearaway suit and prosthetics to reveal the aforementioned.
They weren't "death threats" in a "legal sense" they were simply "setting the mood" and seeing where the night would take us. Like an hors d'oeuvre and aperitif before the tasting menu begins. I really regret
that anybody found out it was me who did

I know it's awful but I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of this all.

That's only true if the first few states aren't too different from the national average.
like imagine this primary season, except Washington, New Hampshire, Vermont, and a bunch of other Sanders states were first, giving him a large lead at the beginning

Now NBC is all like "yeah clinton might pick mark cuban"

I mean, they're being accused of being corrupt and dishonest and it's being implied that they deserve the abuse they're receiving. I feel like the tone for the interaction was pretty much set already.

Mark Cuban would make a pretty cool attack dog to go after Trump, he probably knows he's much richer than him.

on the other hand: fuck no.
He opposes net neutrality.
He's a fucking rich asshole with no political experience which is part of Clinton's argument about why Trump would be bad
Fuck. No.
Not even on the list.

We may need to add a third circle to the diagram for the media then.
She's more than that though. She's a smart and accomplished woman who's fought for progressive issues as attorney general of California and has a very good record. Assuming she doesn't run in 2024, she will be on the VP shortlist.

Good point, but a favorable schedule like that would have definitely helped Sanders regardless.

Picking Mark Cuban would be like McCain picking Palin. How do you run on experience and then undercut your message with the very first important decision you make as a candidate. The only way you make that decision is if you're stupid or desperate - neither of which apply to Hillary Clinton's camp.
Cuban is basically a libertarian btw.

Sanders had a pretty favorable schedule didn't he? New Hampshire IS/WAS at the beginning. And he came out of Iowa with a basic tie, which gave him shitloads of "Sanders surprises everyone!" and "Hillary underperforms" press. Post NH is where the Sanders campaign started pushing the super-delegate-"We've already basically lost" conspiracy theories, which probably hurt him more.
I hear Wendy's is considering taking your side arms in exchange for a frostie.
Pretty tempting

This is semantics, and nothing more
You've been saying this from the outset, but it's no more true now than it was then. Nobody's being doxxed--the records will be kept under seal unless a state can show it has a good reason to access them ("such as a showing by a state of actual or imminent damage that could be minimized or prevented by release of the information to one of the Plaintiff States"). In short, the records of one part of the government are being delivered to another part of the government, which other part may disclose the information to yet another part of the government if there's a good reason for disclosure. That's not doxxing.

This really isn't all that burdensome a requirement. States require attorneys to take annual continuing legal education courses to maintain their good standing, including a certain specified number of hours in ethics courses. The fact that it extends to all DOJ attorneys in the states involved in the suit may be unusual, but then, so is a suit that involves 26 states as plaintiffs, and in which the DOJ lies to the court and does what he orders them not to do. It's certainly less drastic than the other remedy he considered:
Judge Hanen said:
(Striking the government's pleadings would mean that it loses automatically.)
I'd like to see that argument:

I'm still surprised Bernie didn't win Iowa to be honest. That should have been a slam dunk for him.
Says the guy who will flip back to Rand Paul or Trump as soon as Sanders drops out and supports Killsry.
Those are the three branches of government right? Executive, Media and Establishment.
Department of Shills.

I really want to create a text adventure game based around this concept now.
Title it Bernie Goes to Washington or something.
I feel like it would fall subject to Poe's Law though.
He might indeed be richer, but it's hard to say.
From Forbes last June. They estimate his net worth is $4.1B, but I think it's possible it's much lower and it's hard to draw more conclusions without his tax returns.

I bet if any pundit makes a point about his overinflated net worth, Trump will flip. He's thin skinned AF
Considering how Bernie's campagin handled themselves through this entire issue. I'm not suprised NV dems are upset,
.
It's a great target for a Hillary attack dog to go after. Maybe Warren should
Hillary has already been harping on "why won't he release his tax returns?" which is addressing it as well.
Not sure his base cares, they'll probably believe him if he says the IRS is "lying" or something, but might sway some independents idk.

Who the fuck actually writes "petty-bourgeois," oh my god.

I'm not surprised either, and I don't blame them for being upset. I'm saying there's a way to handle it that would be more effective for them, and won't escalate the problem more.

Just met steny hoyer. Lol he doesn't like Alan Grayson. Although he did say "with all due respect"
To keep us occupied before the next round of primaries, we'll get to see May fundraising totals.

I've heard Hoyer is very straight laced. Doesn't curse, incredibly nice etc. if it's true couldn't imagine a bigger contrast than Grayson.
Something about broken clocks.
There is literally nothing anyone can do besides give the nomination to Bernie that will cause them to not escalate.
I can't wait for Hillary to unload on Trump.
That makes sense about Sanders, he fundraised record numbers but also spent in record numbers, and in the end just to lose by a delegate and popular vote landslide.

Damn. His campaign is broke as hell. I can't imagine the donations are pouring in. When it's the last time they mentioned how much they raised. His bern rate is insane. No wonder he's not running ads in California. He can't afford it
I'm watching the newwwwwws and now they are wondering if the plane crash was an electrical fire of some sort. If this isn't terrorism, and Trump said it is 100% terrorism and anyone who doesn't think so is wrong...it's not going to matter, right? Can a tragedy be used to attack Trump when innocent people have died? I don't think so. Sigh.
Eric Bolling sticking up for Trump now even with people still wondering because Trump is being bold. Everyone's an asshole.

Did they send a fund raising email off it? I assume. Also as I read that tweet, Roar started playing as I started on my exercise bike. Thank you based Queen!

It reflects very poorly on his ability to be a competent President at the very least.
I think you could hit him with an unfit for president attack. Definitely fits the "loose cannon" label. Guess we'll see. Would hope it wasn't terrorism regardless.

Odds are there won't be a definitive conclusion to the investigation in 5 months so he'll get by on that.
It's interesting that no one has taken credit.
