I appreciate that Grassley is referring Kavanaugh to the FBI for perjury on items that selectively omit the huge, glaring lies Kavanaugh has spoken into congressional record under oath.

Mulva posted:You can still hang them from the feet Immediate flashback to being eight years old and visiting the local butcher shop/slaughter house with my father. I watched in kind of a daze as they bolted the steer, attached it by the ankle to a chain, and raised it into the air. They slit its throat, and let the blood drain freely into a thing on the floor. From there the memory is fuzzy, except for when they removed the stomachs and the fat. Something looked like a big, shiny purple beachball. Hooray childhood!

It also kinda depends what aspects of his presidency you want to read about. Like, do you just want to know what stuff happened, or some sort of judgement about whether some of that stuff was good/bad, etc.

Biden is really, really bad and I'm hoping he makes sure people don't forget about it since otherwise he's going to ride Obama's coattails to a nomination. Then he'll either leave us with another term of Trump or lose in 2024 when he does nothing except continue extremely unpopular policies and moan about complainers. Like all he does is complain about people unhappy with rich people or his lovely record.

I, for one, enjoy that Biden has gone with the bold political strategy of "actually, rich people are loving great and you can shut the gently caress up about them; and also, this woman needs to give a guy a break, I mean for God's sake, Anita, act like an adult"

"Geeze how long is she gonna hold a grudge?? It's not like I did anything anyway" is an impressive thing to go for both in terms of being a sexist shitgoblin who used his power to help Republicans but also look incredibly whiny and entitled. Whenever Biden pops out of his lair to say something stupid since 2016 all I can think of is someone else making that famous "can you believe this guy?" expression he made when debating Ryan.

I'm terrified of it because I fear another round of Serious people circling the wagons around him after Obama endorses him and idiotic pundits deem him the most electable and therefor not supporting him is tantamount to supporting Trump. Democratic primary voters seem to still value the idea of distinguished statesmen and resumes even if that doesn't translate into general election wins. Biden winning is probably the worst thing that can happen short of Hillary running again and deciding she needs to poison the primary a third time. Like logically he should fail like he does every time since he's garbage but it's hard to not feel dread in 2018 for stuff like him.

Yeah a lot of the fear around Biden is explicitly centered around the possibility of him riding an Obama endorsement (complete with actual campaigning from him) through the primaries. I don't necessarily think that's going to happen (due to a combination of Obama both having a functioning brain even if his politics suck poo poo, as well as him seemingly favoring a run from DeVal Patrick much more), but it is what it is and you can put it at even odds that Biden is either running because he thinks he's going to get that support (genuinely) or because he thinks he's going to get that kind of support (egotistically). It's just that it's impossible to tell which it is until things start to shake out.

I'm not sure I'd characterize Booker as to Biden's right. Cuomo is probably the worst outcome in terms of people who are both terrible and likely to win, at least in my opinion, with Biden as a close second.

Yeah I'm not really worried about Rahl or Cuomo since they have zero charisma and wouldn't survive out of their own little fiefdoms where they control everything. Bloomberg's primary strategy apparently is highlight all the poo poo everyone doesn't like about him since his ego is so off the charts he thinks everyone else just hasn't had his greatness explained well enough. If any of those three won the primary it would have to be due to literal vote manipulation so they dont scare me.
