I forget whether it was Klobb or Gillibrand, but I remember the time when they were near dropping out of the race and somebody leaked a whole bunch of stories of how they were apparently a nightmare abusive boss who got in screaming matches with their staffers and like threw phones at them and poo poo.

that was Klobb. She'd throw staplers at the heads of her staffers, allegedly

there was also that insane story about how she'd eat pasta with a comb

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

The story which everyone was too cowardly to put their name to was that Klobb forced a staffer to shave her legs while in a moving car

the staffer system doesn't get talked about enough for how crazy it is. the level where it's a normal part of the day to have a stapler whipped at you is actually a few steps up the ladder, believe it or not.

they all are young people who paid their dues with a string of unpaid "internships" during college, basically moving to some random location and working 70-80 hour weeks for some candidate you've never heard of, and doing that every summer. they'll probably be sleeping at some random local activist's house too, unless their parents can afford to bankroll an apartment for them.

the ones most able to put up with that bullshit will get a paid job on a campaign somewhere, still working 70-80 hours a week but this time with at least some compensation. no job security though, because if your candidate loses, you definitely won't have a job after the election. if they win, well, you might get a spot

then if you do a real good job there, you might get the chance to have Klob wing a stapler at your head. those are senate staffers.

it's considered a rather plum job, as staffer jobs go, because if you can put up with that, there's then a chance that you'll get a crack at a senior staffer job, and that's where things like "job stability" or "a living wage" actually become possible. getting that on your resume opens up a lot of doors

so by the time you're diving behind a desk as office supplies get flung about, you've already spent years trying to work up to that spot, and there's hundreds of other bright-eyed little sociopaths eager to take a swingline to the dome for democracy who will replace you in a heartbeat

these days the type of person who becomes a democratic senate staffer (i.e. someone on the end of many years of unpaid internships and low-paid positions populated entirely by true-believer lanyards) is the type of person who would never, ever, not in their wildest dreams, consider talking to glenn greenwald

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was a trendsetter in 1996

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Abdul-Rauf

Wikipedia posted:

Abdul-Rauf is perhaps best known for the controversy created when he refused to stand for "The Star-Spangled Banner" before games,[44] stating that the flag was a symbol of oppression and that the United States had a long history of tyranny.[45] On March 12, 1996, the NBA suspended Abdul-Rauf for his refusal to stand, costing Abdul-Rauf $31,707 per missed game.[46] Two days later, he worked out a compromise with the league, whereby he would stand during the playing of the national anthem but could close his eyes and look downward. He usually silently recited Islamic prayer during this time for those who are suffering from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds.[47]

In a special event, MSNBC presents "Wargame: Iraq," an inside look at how the National Security Council might advise the President on a decision to attack Iraq. "Wargame: Iraq," airing Monday, November 25, 10:00p.m.-12:00a.m. ET, is a dramatic account of simulated meetings of the National Security Council, enacted by veterans of past administrations and experts in foreign policy, as they decide the terms for going to war.

The purpose of the wargame is to educate the public on the considerations and complexities in making decisions on war and peace. To achieve that educational purpose in a two-hour program, events and discussions were necessarily condensed and speeded-up.

NBC News and experts from the nonpartisan Council on Foreign Relations collaborated to create a scenario based upon current circumstances. The scenario begins with United Nations weapons inspectors on the ground in Baghdad, 50,000 U.S. troops in the region, and a declaration by Saddam Hussein that he does not possess weapons of mass destruction. The United States has ambiguous information to the contrary. In two separate sessions, the mock Council must cope with a series of increasingly difficult fictional developments in Iraq and around the world, and at each turn decide: What are the President’s options? Is Iraq in material breach of its obligations to the United Nations? And should the President proceed with military action?
