"The Intercept found that exact passages from at least eight Bloomberg plans or accompanying fact sheets were direct copies of material from media outlets including CNN, Time, and CBS, a research center at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the American Medical Association, Everytown for Gun Safety, Building America's Future Educational Fund, and other organizations."

Stealing Biden's voters wasn't enough for Bloomberg, now he's snatching his plagiarism too.

*Sigh*

She's getting Harris'd. I think it might be over.

😒😒😒

😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah this is the sign.

Honestly this is the first time I have been disappointed about something coming out of the Warren camp. Seemed like they were doing just about everything right. Yea she fumbled on the M4A bit but I personally didn't at all help that against her and especially not that spat with Bernie about woman president.

This though is disappointing and is election losing stuff.

In other creeping fascism news:
US Customs and Border Protection is now considered a "security agency," a move that allows the agency to shield information about personnel from the public.
The move has raised concerns among lawyers and advocates of government transparency, who say the agency will be further shrouded in secrecy.
One of the implications of the change is that information that might usually be made public could be redacted in Freedom of Information Act requests, sparking concerns among lawyers and advocates, who worry that it could shield personnel from being held accountable for wrongdoing.
"One thing we find in FOIA responses is agency employees breaking the law or doing the wrong thing. Sometimes we can identify them because their name is on the email," said Matthew Hoppock, an immigration lawyer. "Now we may be getting FOIA responses showing people breaking the law but we don't know who they are."

Got to hand it to Ari Melber on MSNBC. Keeps pushing Bloombergs guy on stop and frisk. I forgot just how horrendous some of those Bloomberg quotes are.

^Finally, bloomberg stop and frisk getting his campaign manager taken to task. More argumentative than Sanders's Weaver, even. He's not prepared for this, yet.

More of this will probably be slung and brought to people's attention by the bragmans of twitter first, but this stuff is out there. Still waiting to see when media begins discussing how he got his third term as mayor and what he thought about others having a third term after him.

Eh, it's a very bad look, but Bernie had sexual harassment (I think that's what it was) in his campaign and per the same article Butti had issues with minority staffers leaving prior to the Iowa caucus and they are doing alright. It also looks like one of the people who left is still okay with Warren and it's more that she wanted people to be aware of what's going on:

All three departed Warren staffers said they did not want to hurt the Massachusetts senator's candidacy but decided to talk to a reporter because they believe their issues are not uncommon on campaigns and that will only change if the issues are aired. Two of them said they are unsure whether they will still support Warren after their experience, but Lewis said she will be caucusing for her.

She said she felt compelled to speak out because she believed the campaign's internal systems failed and needed to be fixed. Too often, Lewis said, such problems are ignored or swept under the rug because people fear damaging the larger cause.

"Every election will always be the most important election of our lifetimes," Lewis said. "Organizing culture needs to change because the fact is our well-being is more important than any election. I hope this starts a conversation that helps facilitate personal reflection about ways we can change campaign culture."
.

The bigger issue seems to be that Warren has apparently visited the state the least of the four early states. Honestly, after Iowa, I probabably would say that Nevada is more important than New Hampshire simply because of how entrenched Sanders is in New Hampshire (not that she shouldn't try or anything just that maybe she is focusing on Nevada/New Hampshire in a different order than I would...). Unless she's counting on a Harry Reid endorsement or something...

Okay. So they're incompetent AND they did it on purpose. Gotcha

Also you didn't answer the question lol

Well the least they could do is try to take control of the narrative and squash these suspicions but that's apparently too much to ask. I wonder why (and on it goes) lol.

Sorry I was just bothered by door knockers from the Red Cross.What was your question? I kind of glossed over your post because it didn't seem like you were saying anything interesting.

I may have asked this before here but can anything be done realistically to completely erase or at least hugely minimize the damage Trump is doing to the federal judiciary if a Dem wins in November? Or is he just appointing SO many judges that the damage is already done?

This is the situation that seems most hopeless for me. Even when the cunt is gone we'll be saddled with hundreds of ultra-right wing judges ruling against common sense.

No way...I mean, really?

I hope this is more of the unintelligent goons working the data and placating the world's whiniest thug.

Tom Perez is going to be on the Rachal Maddow show today as well. Not enough he jumps into this shit without thinking, but now he's probably going to defend himself poorly on Maddow.

WH urges its surrogates to go after Romney... https://twitter.com/AshleyRParker/status/1225524503842828318 …

4:19 PM - Feb 6, 2020





Ashley Parker @AshleyRParker

The WH is now sending around anti-Romney talking points, including:
β€’Romney's decision was unsurprising as this display of self-serving political expedience has come to define his career.
β€’Romney has a long history of flip-flopping, with no sign of principles to be found.

Jan 25:


"CBS News reported last night that a Florida Man confidant said that key senators were warned, 'Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike,'" Schiff said. "Now, I don't know if that's true."
He equated his "head on a pike' comment to how kings treated those considered traitors to their country.
Schiff said he was struck by the irony, adding "We're talking about a president who would make himself a monarch."
His comment drew immediate blowback from Republicans.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a key moderate Republican who could be a crucial swing vote in the impeachment fight, broke her vow of silence on the floor.
"That's not true," Collins said several times from her seat, loudly enough to be overheard by reporters sitting in the upper level of the chamber.
She was also seen shaking her head several times in apparent frustration at the his comments.
"Not only have I never heard the 'head on the pike' line, but also I know of no Republican senator who has been threatened in any way by anyone in the administration," she later told reporters.
Another key potential swing vote, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, also hit back at Schiff for his rhetoric, calling it "unnecessary."


Now they know how Zelenskyy felt.

Astounding work. You've gone from they did it on purpose to, they were so bad it's on purpose, to the least they could do is make me believe they didn't do it on purpose.

It certainly makes for interesting posts I'll give you that. Tell you what, since you're just going to avoid answering the question, again, let's just agree to drop it until, presumably, they come back with proof that the dnc is rigging it

Just saw the Bloomberg interview about the bathroom issue...

Exceedingly transphobic and somehow manages to make fun of midwesterners for being too dumb to understand sex vs gender. He think it's a nuanced talking point but there was nothing nuanced about his transphobic diatribe.

I really hope the electorate rejects this guy.

I think any third person to our exchange can see the dynamic here but okay since it seems I have to correct the record.

I said having suspicions that this highly suspicious thing might be motivated is reasonable which is to say not unreasonable. There's really no basis for foreclosing on the possibility or granting the benefit of the doubt. That's it, my argument hasn't changed once, and if you think it did, you misinterpreted me.

Unfortunately not, the process for removing a federal judge is the same as removing a president.

on a slightly less terrible note, the vast majority (2/3 last I heard) of judges being appointed are replacing thoseof the same party so it's not nearly as apocalyptic as it seems? (Jk, it's still pretty bad)

He's basically funneling his disgusting views of trans folks through poor Midwesterners in order to justify them. Hope he shows up to a debate so he can get taken to task.

The idea that one bad report comes from within Warren's campaign and people are saying "that's it, guess we gotta go with Bernie" as though his campaign staff isn't rife with fuckheads sure is something

Trump's airing of grievances was like a 1.5 for him; the Treasury express-mailing Hunter Biden's sensitive financial records to the Senate while still sitting on Trump's taxes is a "do you smell smoke"?
