We don't want any wall waste. If an extra six billion has to be spent, increase Social Security benefits.

Just saying. Only an absolute nasty man would screw up TSA - Airport security over pure duncery. Only a dunce could be so nasty.

Hold steady. Don't cave in to the creep. Tell him our taxpayers are not "the Mexicans" where we were promised "the Mexicans" would pay for a wall, any wall, no wall, fence, trench whatever. I bet Pence is behind it, Trump fronting for him.

The nutshell reason of why I would never vote for Joe Biden even if the other choice were Mike Pence or four more years of TRUMP. [UPDATED]


Not that I am strongly drawn to Kamala Harris. I am not. But this idiot thinks it is a social club to make choices, as with Ms. Clinton, and that's pure bullshit.

Just as it was not "Hillary's turn," this time is NOT "Joe's turn." While favoring Warren and Bernie, and Steve Bullock, any Dem, other than Old Joe, would likely be acceptable, short of "Hillary's second turn."

IDIOTS! Brazen idiorts. Why has that woman been reelected? Her disdain for the electorate comes through loud and clear. The caucus and primary system exist for a reason, and there's zero "super" about Biden or Feinstein, though each because of obscene biasing of things, will be a "superdelegate."

REFORM THAT STEAMING PILE OF VOTER DISDAIN, PLEASE.

Even Beto, to show how far I'd compromise.

LAST: Click the image. You have to read the fine print.

-------------------
UPDATE: Gillibrand is off limits too, after the shiv job she did to Franken.

FURTHER: Harris was too quick to join Gillibrand, but otherwise is better than others. Booker is close to the line, but not in the cellar with Joe and Ms. KG.


And Amy K? That's meant as a joke, isn't it?

___________FURTHER UPDATE____________
A YouTube brief segment from 2010 explaining the 2020 Biden candidacy. As it explained 2016 well in advance of 2016. Too few paid heed.

Few public banks? Why so?

TuYoube. And more beyond public banks.

UPDATE: Fingers err. Proofreading skipped is obvious. As a bet, most figured from the nature of the link that "TuYoube" was intended to say "YouTube."

Jeffrey Sachs is on YouTube.

Start here if you are unfamiliar with him.

Romney goes WaPo to trash Trump's character. This is the guy that wrote off 47% of us now trying to write off Trump, and not surprisingly turning to the world's richest man's newspaper to gain a forum.

Romney's item is headlined: "Mitt Romney: The president shapes the public character of the nation. Trump’s character falls short."

Besides the obvious, that forty seven percent of us don't care a rat's ass what that pompous Uriah Heep says now or later, there is the clueless man saying all the disastrous policy decisions are fine with him and ringing his okay button, but the man, himself, is an asshole. Mitt needs to look at the man in his shaving mirror when making that judgment.

SO --- Mr Romney Goes to Washington; installment one.

As to choice of forum for his hatchet job, Citizen Bezos as a kid had a sled he called "Rosebud." Proving it takes one to publish one. Kindred souls. Birds of a feather.

UPDATE: A friend sent a link.

LizSez 01: Forming a committee; expect Biden and Booker to decline to join. Nobody from Goldman Sachs expected to board the train.

Gillibrand says the middle class rejects Al Franken. Booker says he'll check with Wall Street about it. Biden says CHANGE and HOPE, and that Tom Perez is his kind of guy. Kamala Harris points out Warren is not from California with all its electorial votes. Berniecrats say welcome. Trump says Pocahontas, but fearfully so, and Warren has the sense to not go there, knowing that calling Trump "HushMoney" or "TwitTweets" would only distract from running on the issues via a sensible platform of reform. Gen. Kelly says working for Trump was worse than combat. Hegseth says, ..., well, who really cares what Petey says?

______________UPDATE______________
Warren's declaring as being wholly into the contest earlier than others is a very positive thing for the nation. Not only is she a contrast to Trump, as very many are, but she's a contrast to the Blue Dogs and middle-roaders of her own party, (Claire, watch the doorknob as you pause to whine on the way out). Warren is one who will KEEP PROMISES and who will promise improvement, not MAGA smoke screening, but actual things for those besides Apple. Speaking of which, the prediction here is that Paul Ryan's first lobbying customer in 2019 will be Apple, after that tax bill, because they owe him. What we owe him we can only hope he encounters, but he never was our Rep, he always was a business asset of the super corporations and the very rich most mean-spirited among us. (How's George W. B. doing these days?) Playing golf with Franklin Graham? Painting Putin portraits? Unless Bernie gets into a candidacy this cycle, Warren is the choice here. Pollsters and pundits can have their audience, my place is for championing progressive things, and not for taking ill-intentioned CNN talking heads seriously.

That CNN thing, their interviewee, Cenk and Anna offer commentary in line with the YouTube comment stream the CNN item generated. Aside from their analysis, I was distracted by his bending his head sideways at the neck, suggesting to me that good posture goes with good ideas. The interesting points in that YoungTurks dialog, Cenk noting how Kamala Harris, the pundit's favorite wannabe did worse in her Senate election relative to Hillary's percentage in California than Warren did against Hillary's percentage in Massachutetts; a truth absent from CNN coverage. Also, Cenk pointing that when the characterization was Warren's polling favorability ratings against Biden et al, were below par, below par is better than above; so watch your figures of speech. CNN is a tool.

Warren interviewed here and here, earlier in time than Jan. 2019.

_____________FURTHER UPDATE____________
Beto says Texas has many electoral votes, that losing to Ted Cruz makes him a viable candidate, and that he's younger than Bernie and Warren put together. Also he can pose progressive, pose trumping substance.

FURTHER: The last Texan to get national traction was "Landslide Lyndon," and that came with a war quagmire; so now "Beaten Beto" should be vaulted past actual progressives? Who sez? Somebody needs to explain to me, Trump beat Cruz, Cruz beat Beto, so logic sez Beto can beat Trump? Riun that explanation by me sometime soon. Time is moving on past Beto.
