Nah this is good news. The way the D primaries are set up this time means there's a 15% floor before candidates are awarded any delegates so further splintering the succ vote strengthens Daddy Bernie even more, nonlinearly. He's only going to sap support from Biden, Butt, and maybe, maybe Kamala.

lmao this dipshit must think clemency means "for all past and future acts," because there's no loving way any PAO signed off on this circus and publicly denigrating his own personal chain of command as active US Navy Sailor is absolutely chargeable conduct under UCMJ.

I know Bloomberg doesn't stand a chance. Just sick of the loving circus. You're dead on with the Schultz comparison, another billionaire rear end in a top hat throws in for long enough to have "presidential candidate" on their list of achievements.

The Democratic Policy Establishment (elites?) is more or less mistaking a crowded field for a weak field.

Poll after poll of the Democratic primary vote is basically saying "hey, we like all of them, here's my primary favorite, but I could change!". The media is more or less seeing the "but I could change" and amplifying that message. So, in come rich idiots like Bloomberg, or rando governors, without them realizing that the primary electorate wants *fewer* candidates, not *more* candidates.

So all of that just triggers Democratic handwringing, as Democrats are naturally scared of their own shadow.

I caught about 10 minutes of GPS with Fareed Zackaria who I used to think was an intelligent guy. He had on Tom Friedman. Lmao. First sign things were off.

They got to the topic of Bloomberg and every guest of his said they'd vote for him in a heartbeat. How he "ran the city so well," and "would be able to outspend everyone," and "how intelligent he is and how he's not a narcicist and is able to delegate very well."

I turned it off in disgust. Such establishment Dem assholes. Stick to foreign affairs, Fareed.

See above. Doesn't really matter what Esper is, as Trump is way more interested in listening to, and acting on, what Pete Hegseth says on Fox & Friends.

Doctors for Camp Closure.

The organization is a volunteer group of 2,000 U.S. based physicians who support the closing of the Customs and Border camps because of public health concerns. The organization volunteered to provide free influenza vaccines to those detained but the government never responded.

“We got no response, not even an acknowledgement of the letter," said Arzuaga.

seriously, what is left to prevent every mega-chud E-7 out there from public airing all their grievances with their leadership on fox loving news from now on?

i'd like to think that this guy's behavior throughout is just another indication of the serious failings of SEAL culture, but given this whole debacle it's only a matter of time before people are coming out of the woodwork from the active force complaining their UCMJ action for beating their wife was given because their leadership are "on a liberal vendetta"

The Bloomberg entry is interesting, because it's almost definitely an insurance policy in case Sanders looks like the favourite for getting the nomination. He's definitely not there to run against Trump, who is likely to have one hell of a Rudy-shaped boat anchor around his neck by the time the election date rolls around.

Biden hasn't been able to successfully drag things back into the centre as planned, and the rest of the candidates aren't popular enough, despite the Media's attempts to big up Mayor Pete.

In my opinion, he's there to piss 100 million dollars into anti-Bernie ads, because that crowd would much sooner see Trump re-elected.
