Other than the terrible stop and frisk stuff, what other controversy surrounds him? I'm not that familiar. Why would he be so scary?

He basically gave the entirety of NYC over to rich people and corporations through subsidies and tax breaks. He's basically a trickle down, socially liberal, gun-hating, moderate Republican.

Hopefully it's like last years SOTU where there was loads of hype leading up to it and then everyone forgot about it within like 2 days. Only the Pelosi clapping meme had any staying power.

Anyone fighting to retain caucuses is an enemy of democracy. This shit is embarrassing.

So.Cal.
Instead of not showing, they should all go to the SOTU, and scream in unison "YOU LIE", just like that one shithead did at Obama.
Only difference is that trump actually WILL lie.

this is worth taking into consideration


By the way they actually scored on a numerical system. Trump was also on there:

Seems about right for Trump.

So, I can't actually access the website that Essence sources. Can anyone else?

? Bloomberg has always been a Democrat. He was a Republican for about twelve minutes because it was easier to win their primary in 2001 (against another former Democrat, oddly enough)
While I didn't realize he was a Democrat before 2001, 18 years out of the party—and for his entire political career—is significant.

Collins pretty much pissed off both Dems for Brett/tax cuts/vote to acquit/concerned behavior and Trumpers with ACA vote/voting for witnesses so basically she pissed off everyone.

She might as well just give up her seat at this point.

I don't understand its valuation..
even if it ends up being the top US manufacturer, its overualued.

tech industry people who Fucking Love Science love teslas despite the comically bad build quality because it gives them both a status symbol and a feeling that they're really doing something to fight climate change without actually doing anything about climate change

looks like he flips the coin multiple times though.

I think he only flipped it once, it's just awkward as hell. To me it looks like he pulls it through his fingers and then does a flip, which I think is why it looks fiddly as hell.

Also, he's surrounded by people for other candidates, I would go by their judgement there in person.

Short squeeze is probably a big factor. We've seen it before with plenty of other bubbles that go parabolic. Even the renowned Sir Isaac Newton lost his shirt in one such bubble. I don't know if it's true, but I saw one article mention Musk had pulled his own shares from being able to be borrowed by brokers, which limits the short supply, which limits price discovery. It wouldn't surprise me, he has always been vocal about them.

This would be as annoying as Democrats naivety over "working with Republicans" if it wasn't obvious that she's just straight up lying at this point.

Yeah, a 73 year old man who has been rewarded for a life of crime is suddenly going to stop. Uh huh.
