These seem like two awesome politicans who should be running for Presdident
*pause*
Wait, I'm being told they did run for President, but we decided a Final Five of Biden, Bernie, Amy, Pete, and Bloomberg was a better idea.

This god damn mother fucker. He's making me defend Cuomo????
While good, this is like a few months too late and the House has bigger issues to consider now.
I'd rather bet on momentum, organization in-state, and money on Pete being able to make up ground than Biden's cratering, broke, mess of campaign that has repeatedly shown bad judgement and poor information awareness for months.

Absolutely insane. I don't think a campaign has paid people on the ground this much ever.
Infuriating really. Next : the White House unusually decides to call off the November election.
Damn tricksy twins.
Forget Bloomberg being banned by the DNC, twins running for President should be banned by the DNC!
Pete needs to win NV to have momentum, and his chances there are slim. He's going to be fighting over white voters with 5 other people. His numbers with hispanic and black voters will start to sink him in NV, and SC. The momentum argument is about to end for Pete, and how far can you go without winning over minority voters is the big question.
Hopefully this snowballs, but I won't hold my breath. Miller should be gone.
he's about to open an office close to where i live...i have no experience, a full time job, and don't want him to win...but is there a way i can sign up part time? only half joking
The Castro who did run is a bit* of a prick. Kamala isn't bad, but she's bad at campaigning. Or her hires were. Actually, both.
*Not a bit
She should considering she lived under his policies and her experiences are probably just a glimpse into all the shit that went down
Yup, like they were all born yesterday and this is just a one-off. Time and time again. It's mind-numbing.
I'd still like to have someone from this administration explain in what capacity Guiliani is working for the US government when he isn't a government employee.
They might as well just use "concerning" or "troubling" for all that matters.
Interesting article from Phillymag. Intended to start as a "Why Joe Biden Chose Philly" fluff piece but turned into something ENTIRELY different.

Pretty sure this exact thing has been introduced in Congress at least once before.
What does this have to do with Pawn Stars guy? He was part of the pitch?
I almost wonder if we're seeing some sort of psychological block from reporters, almost like a "no no, it can't really be this bad. I don't want to overstate things and get called out for being hyperbolic." Almost as if they're so close to the action that they can't see it clearly anymore. These people aren't dumb, they have talent. I know that we often espouse theories about their motives (sales, bias, strong-white daddy syndrome, etc) but I think there's something else going on. Trump is grabbing control of the Department of Justice in completely unprecedented ways and Congress is doing nothing to stop it, and yet the media almost seems too stunned to react.
Yeah, Rick was part of the pitch as well in lobbying
It's normalizartion and tunnel vision. Usually there is something so big going on (like impeachment, coronavirus, Dem primary, DOJ prosecutors resigning, Trump Middle East blunders) that the horrible but not as big stuff gets kinda glossed over.
Kinda wonder what is the breaking point for the media and public. We have basically got to the point where Trump can murder someone on the White House floor and face 0 repercussions.
They either want to keep their heads in the sand or just love the ratings so much.
I think you're kidding yourself if you believe Trump will debate the nominee in the first place
EDIT: Classic reply without refreshing maneuever means this comment is probably hopelessly late

I'll agree with the tunnel vision part, but not the normalization part. While there is normalization taking place, it is the symptom not the disease as far as I see it. I don't think most media outsets are trying to normalize what's happening, but their coverage is inadvertently normalizing it. I think it still goes back to what I referred to as a psychological block, they can't accept that things are falling apart, so they report on it using weak language, which in turn normalizes it.
The breaking point will be if Trump loses the popular vote by 5 million or more votes but ekes out an EC victory. If that happens I think there will be an explosion. I think blue states will start to make a lot of noise and start bucking federal authority.
I've said it before, but I don't think the next 10 years are very good for this country.
Hope this son of a bitch doesn't release endorphins moments before his death
Only if you shoot me first. Lord have mercy, I hate that man.

Shorter Barr: "Shut up, dude. I'm on your side but this doesn't work when you go around telling everyone the fix is in"
Good thread on how Bloomberg has accumulated political power over the years:
Chaos reigns

Union leaders being all regressive on health care is so unbelievably dumb and bad and I hate it.
FTFY. I'm all for unions, but dear god are they twisted up in today's climate.
I can see a scenario where by 2024 union votes are considered the swing votes.
