Bevin must be pumping a ton of money into TV ads currently. They are all over the place. Amusingly the one they are showing the most just shows all of the kids he has adopted and only has him in it for a second or two.
Thanks
It's just a bad situation for my family as my uncle really can't handle her, but she refuses to go and my uncle wanted to "respect her wishes." She is just being selfish, which I know is part of her illness, but ugh.
She doesn't have Medicare because she was a government employee. She has coverage through a private plan through them. It's mostly shite but surprisingly they cover a home health aide 3 times a week for 6 hours total. But she would be getting support 24/7 from assisted living..... ugh, just thinking about the situation gets me really upset.
Primary time.
He's up next year.
Can Joe Kennedy carpetbag to Delaware?
Yes, those tremendous abuses of government power by a private citizen that are a book deal and a netflix development deal.
The tweets this morning are something else, with Simpsons-levels of punctuation that make them incomprehensible.
Wait... he's fundraising off of this?
At first I thought he was just giving away his own money as well, but apparently the campaign is paying this out.
When it was his own money, it could have just been considered a personal gift, but this seems like flagrant violation of campaign finance.
He really needs to fuck right off tbh.
A hot take I agree with. We're already dealing with it now to some extent, it'll be even worse when that base gets smaller.
Neverending bedwetting.
Would people go for it though? Wouldn't that look like the cheapest political power play ever?
Remember in 2017 when everyone was panicking about Gillespie winning because he made the election about race?
People saw him embrace Trumpism and fretted that it'd be any Republican's winning ticket to whatever office they sought, no matter where they were running.
yeah, how exactly is it legal candidate to fundraise off a promise to pay out money to supporters... money that will effectively be raised from other supporters?
So he's basically admitting he is enriching himself while being president.
I think this time has one glaring blind spot:
Minorities exist and have existed.
If newsrooms, which have traditionally been overwhelmingly white, are gravitating towards what appears "exotic" to them, why haven't they been rushing the hood spots to get minority takes on policies that also directly affect us?
I think the more correct take is this: despite how diverse this country has always been, we've always depicted "Real America" as looking a specific way.
What do you think, he pitched Netflix some garbage, got turned down and now he has an axe to grind?
Possibly.
Maybe he didn't even pitch anything but is mad that Obama got a deal and he didn't anyway because Netflix totally should have approached him instead.
Lmaoooooo
My thing is, when he's obsessed about someone it's because he's been slighted.
Yes, the simplest answer is this is about Obama, but I feel like him citing the Netflix deal repeatedly means he's pissed at Netflix.
Can't say I foresaw the shard of reality where we go to war with Iran immediately *after* canning John Bolton.
This is fucking hilarious. Something straight out of Simpsons.
I also think he's jealous.
Remember Trump TV? This is just me theorizing, but I think Trump's jealous because Trump TV was the thing he really wanted out of this. He didn't expect to win the Presidency. He expected to lose, and to then parlay his loss into a partnership with an existing Network to create a network of his own. I really think that was his dream.
But then he won. And now he's the miserable President hated by everyone whose respect he craves...while Obama nets a lucrative Netflix deal.
My soul LIVES
Tootsie taking cues from Beto.
Broken clock here.
Yup
Yeah, that's a good observation
I can buy that.
Lets wildly and inappropriately speculate about the candidate's health! That wouldn't be at all super fucking shitty. Sore throat? Laryngitis? PARKINSONS? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The first thing I thought of was in The Office when Toby grabs Pam's knee in front of everyone, then immediately announces he's re-locating to Costa Rica and flees the premises.
