Is Sanders really the poster boy for sane gun legislation, though? Asking for a friend.

Vermont itself is pretty friendly to hunting, and he certainly hasn't gone out of his way to support gun bans. At the same time the bill people like to bring up (making it not possible to sue manufacturers for crimes commited by a third party user) was entirely fine and he was right to support it.

Not very hard to get a job in Europe in general if you are in a professional field. Don't go to England, they are Tory scum. Come to Scandinavia.

You don't want to come here lol

The brexit minister just told parliament that asking to see what he'd done over the last year is unpatriotic

Our international development minister went on a secret trip to Israel and wants to use the foreign aid budget to fund the Israeli army

And the new guy in charge of the military keeps a tarantula on his desk to show what a machiavellian wunderkind he is.

Any bets on the Atlanta mayoral race? Does Vincent Fort have a shot?

Latest polls suggest that it is going to be a run off between the "I am totally not a republican *wink *wink" Mary Norwood and the "Pro Business" (i.e. super duper corrupt) establishment democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms.

The next UK general election is scheduled for 2022, unless the Tories are dumb enough to call another snap election, which they probably won't

Atlanta doesn't have party primaries, and the municipal elections are technically non-partisan. There are like 11 or 12 candidates running, and all but 1 or 2 are democrats. Top 2 go to a run off next month. Vincent Fort is the Bernie guy, and has consistently polled 4th or 5th. Mary Norwood has the vote from the mostly white north side of the city, and Keisha Lance Bottoms has a mountain of cash because she is openly corrupt, like the current mayor.

Nina Turner is about to be on Tom Ashbrook's show on NPR with Tom Perez, I have the day off because I am dedicated educator in new york city where it is election day, so I am listening. I may post some reactions to what I hear live in the Suck Zone thread, so sorry about that.

Philip Rucker, who is "the only reporter who we could find who has read the whole Donna Newsome book" says "what we have is not the same as rigging the primaries, those were run by the states" the dnc was just "unethical and structures were tilted in her favor but no particular votes were rigged"

That's the whole bad dem defense hat trick.

So the line, as we already know, from the establishment media is what it is, Tom says "well, what you are saying sounds like rigging, why not call it rigged?" Reporternerd says "well it looks bad and it shows the dominance of money and it also was caused by Obama and Donna brazile shows how the party was trying to quash Sanders"

Ugh I am dreading the calls, I forgot it was a call-in show.

It sounds like he is going to be speaking to Nina Turner and Tom Perez separately which ain't as good as the alternative. Maybe it a good that Nina Turner goes first.
