Donnie wouldn't have been there (probably off molesting beauty pageant contestants at a golf course in scotland) and it would have made it personal.

Important to the wealthy.

We were pretty gung-ho for a fight though. They could have flown a handful of cessnas into McDonalds' across the country and incited the same vitriolic insanity, as long as the drums were beat to the same tune. Imagine G.W. standing on the rubble of Hamburger University, giving the vengeful speech he did at WTC.

And you know the hosed up thing, is McDonald's probably has more every day interaction with the american people than any company ever based out of WTC. The reaction would probably have been worse if they struck random McDonald's because then they'd have really made the handi-fat crowd mad and the lampooning cartoon of an american on a rascal with a flag and generic machine gun would have been reality, not an artistic interpretation of rising waist lines and dwindling masculinity.

Or maybe I'm just high.

I’m watching msnbc reporting on the story so I don’t have a link but it’s pretty :stare: worthy.

Also I’m not sure who attacked those ships, but I think the only thing less likely than it being Iran is it being a U.S. false flag.

I have absolute faith in the US military's inability to keep its operations a secret. If it were a false flag, there would already be a SEAL somewhere ready to get a book deal about it.

Random question but I’m genuinely confused

Who the heck even supports Biden? Just crusty old dems? I figured most the old folks were on the Trump train for *checks notes* evangelical reasons. They may have voted for Obama but he didn’t accomplish anything in eight years so not falling for that again! If they aren’t full blown republican then they’re some weird stuck in the closet libertarian...who support Trump anyway because *checks notes* religious reasons.

People know his name. And despite Biden being an old white man, he's heavily associated with Obama. That helps him poll very well with black voters: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/11/biden-black-economic-alliance-poll-2020-1359082

It's fun to accuse anyone who supports Biden of being a secret conservative, but the truth of the matter is that tons of people don't follow the horse race or considered Obama good enough and see Biden as a possible return to when things seemed less bad under Obama.

I'm genuinely surprised none of the many organizations trying to goad the US into over-reacting have bombed a Trump hotel somewhere. I can't see anything making the pissbaby president more angry than seeing pictures on the television of his gold plated ego-reinforcers damaged and his knowledge that the rest of the world is seeing it too.

Pretty much in that boat. Personally, I'm game for Warren. I'd take Bernie over Biden, too. Trouble is, I don't want another dinosaur in office. Warren is pretty policy laden and isn't freeballing it like mayor pete or beto, isn't a cop like Kamala, but she doesn't have the charisma to charm idiots long enough to digest her policies.

She needs a hype machine. I suggest she adopt another golden retriever. Dogs speak volumes about their owners.

The biggest negative that I can come up with Bernie is that the Bernie fans I know are so loving arrogant and annoying. I mean not enough to keep me from voting but it gets old after a while.


But I’m a NPA voter in FL so I don’t get a vote in the primaries.

Gravel's "campaign" is literally the result of some media interns astroturfing it into existence on social media without Gravel's participation. The only difference between this and Koch Bros bullshit is the ideology involved (which admittedly is a pretty big difference).

Also Gravel isn't making it to the debates, they've already announced the contenders:

Wednesday: Booker, Castro, deBlasio, Delaney, Gabbard, Inslee, Klobuchar, Beto, Ryan, and Warren

Thursday: Bennet, Biden, Buttigieg, Gillibrand, Harris, Hickenlooper, Sanders, Sealwell, Williamson, Yang

Along with Gravel, Bullock, Messam, and Moulton didn't qualify.

So who do we think drops first? It's gotta be one of those names up there that nobody's ever heard of.

She's with Booker and Beto. They're not Biden, but they're probably two of the more well-known names at this point in the primary field along with Warren and Sanders.

Can you point me in the right direction on this? Googling 'Trump MSNBC Jon Stewart" only gets me links to Jon Stewart yelling at Congress.

it was on Donny Deutsche's show Saturday Night Politics and he mentioned it in passing when he was talking about bipartisan bills that could be done easily. Stuff like your bill and the 9/11 first responders where theres no reason to not do it unless you are a coward or a raging shithead. he doesnt go into it at all, but it's a mention at least

It's about 30 min in, before he brings Amy Klobuchar on. He shows the John Stewart clip beforehand

At first glance I’d have kept Sanders and Biden separate, but I can’t fault the split. Night 1 feels slightly weaker but overall more level then Night 2 with Biden and Sanders.

Still going to be near impossible for any of the second tier candidates to stand out, but Night 1 feels like it has slightly better odds vs Night 2.

Biden beats trump in the Rust Belt. And the Midwest.

Bernie should be VP at most. Hes great but he needs to be focused on domestic issues.

Buttigeig is ok and should be fun at the debates
