Move aside Benghazi. Get out of the way, VA. A new scandal is about to rock the White House.

quote:



As Sonny noted earlier, the tweenage sons of four Obama administration officials (including White House press secretary Jay Carney) are in a band called Twenty20.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j283rTiyc8M&t=35s

What does D.C. law have to say about this reckless behavior?



It is unclear if the children (who are all under the age of 16) were apprehended and fined during the course of shooting the video, or if they are first time offenders. The good news is that their parents can probably afford the fines. But on the other hand: WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

The revelations come just one day after President Obama hosted a conference at the White House to highlight the dangers of head injuries among young athletes.

One wonders if this burgeoning scandal had anything to do with Carney’s decision to step down as press secretary.

It's almost as if certain Democrats don't think brain injury is a big deal.... because it didn't happen?!?

RE: the Working Families Party stuff from earlier, Cuomo is leaning on other elected officials to get them to reject a potential WFP endorsement, per Buzzfeed (I know). I'm not from New York, but I believe if they don't get enough votes statewide they lose registration or something.

Also, this quote is precious:

“Let’s remember there’s a national debate going on right now about where the Democratic party is. Is it a party of Bill de Blasio and Elizabeth Warren? Or is it the party of Cuomo, Governor O’Malley and Hillary Clinton?” the source said. Cuomo is “trying to blend that into this years re-election bid.”

I hate Cuomo so much. I used to just be indifferent towards him and then he made some huge 30 minute speech about how great charter school are and how terrible deBlasio is because he dared to block expansion requests from three schools while approving requests from dozens more. Sometimes I wish the left primaried people like the Tea Party does.

Why can't you just superficially look at a clearly overwrought dramatization of each example and laugh at how dumb Obama is? If it's because the guy is in a hoodie, just remember it's a white guy so the lady stand in is not in imminent fear for her life.

What in the gently caress is this? This is why Twitter needs some way to detect and auto-delete (or at least auto-warn about) absolutely awful tweets, for the poster's own sake.

edit: like in this case, a system that can detect that you are making an analogy between rape and comic book preferences, and greys out the post button for like 30 seconds to give you time to think about what you are about to do.
