In 2020, the great likelihood is that an independent would just split the anti-Trump vote and end up re-electing the President. That's a risk I refused to run in 2016 and we can't afford to run it now. https://www.mikebloomberg.com/news/mike-bloomberg-statement-independent-run/ …
The trip took place while Sanders was mayor of Burlington, Vt., from 1981 to 1989. Toward the end of his mayoral tenure, the small city on Lake Champlain launched a sister-city program with Yaroslavl, located 160 miles northeast of Moscow.
The program, which is still operating today, has facilitated exchanges between the two cities involving "mayors, business people, firefighters, jazz musicians, youth orchestras, mural painters, high school students, medical students, nurses, librarians and the (Yaroslavl) ice-hockey team," according to its website.
Along with sister-city relationships with Bethlehem in the West Bank and Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, the Yaroslavl program was part of Sanders' unorthodox attempt to take on international issues from a small city in New England. Sanders also actively pursued his agenda outside of the country, writing letters to world leaders and even traveling to Cuba to meet with the mayor of Havana.
"Burlington had a foreign policy," he wrote in his 1997 book Outsider in the House, "because, as progressives, we understood that we all live in one world."
The bond between Burlington and Yaroslavl solidified when Sanders and his wife, as members of a 12-person delegation from Burlington, paid their Soviet counterparts a visit in 1988.
The timing of the trip was unusual. Bernie and Jane were married May 28, 1988. The delegation left Burlington the next day.
"Trust me," Sanders writes in the book. "It was a very strange honeymoon."
When reached for comment, Sanders' campaign said that the dates for the trip had already been set, and the couple "set their wedding date to coincide with that trip because they didn't want to take more time off."
In a 2007 interview, Jane Sanders also recalled the peculiar timing: "The day after we got married, we marched in a Memorial Day parade, and then we took off in a plane to start the sister city project with Yaroslavl with 10 other people on my honeymoon."
Bernie Sanders also refers to the trip sarcastically as "quiet and romantic" in his book.
Yep. "Give me some money in case I run for President"This is about as subtle as OJ's "If I DID IT" book.
"If WE RUN ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN"
"Let's hear your truth" thoNot all billionaires are equal.
I don't agree with Bloomberg on a lot of things but his intentions are generally good and unlike Shultz he actually understands our political system. I'm glad people are telling Mr. Starbucks to sit down and get out of the way.
Yeah, I don't think Mueller is interested in anything Stone might know.
I've made a habit the last few years of dropping leftist dog whistles in my conversations to weed these people out. Just casually saying things like "The new season of Handmaid's Tale is so good" will work miracles. Doesn't matter if you've even seen it.
Why the fuck was he in soviet russia. Post-2016 that alone sinks a candidacy.
I do this and I didn't even realize it.
But for a humorous example, I once did it with a guy who was the boyfriend of one of my wife's coworkers when we were out to karaoke. Said it "just wasn't his thing" despite liking sci-fi a fair amount. He also sang country-rock for his turn at the mic.
I did end up fb friending him, and to my surprise, he posts anti-Trump stuff 24/7.
Either I need to tune my whistles, or there's just some people they don't work on!
Love seeing all that offense in TX. Even if Beto's not on the ticket, I think we get one or two of those districts due to shifting demographicsThe initial DCCC target list is out

Imagining being able to go to UCLA/UCB/UMich/UT for free is really wild.
The Harvey Dent approachThe answer is in the middle. Every child asylum seeker gets to flip a coin. Heads, you get citizenship. Tails, you get the cage.
Donnelly did carry IN-05, albeit barely.Love seeing all that offense in TX. Even if Beto's not on the ticket, I think we get one or two of those districts due to shifting demographics
Surprised but not totally at IN-05. Brooks's margin fell pretty far against a nobody. Did Donnelly carry it or come close?
I have Pete King on retirement watch. All four statewide Democrats carried NY-02.
I'd remove if NY-27 and CA-50 if they have new incumbents by November 2020. We won't get them without scandals.
He can read the tea leaves when he wants to.

Roger Stone met with Trump associates hours before raid — and the FBI probably caught it all: CNN's April Ryan https://t.co/zrmeURsYRb
Shocked to see his name. I think McConnell will bring it to a vote out of respect for him
Graham supported the Mueller protection bill last year but Turtle still didn't bring it to the floor.Shocked to see his name. I think McConnell will bring it to a vote out of respect for him
It just includes targeted GOP districts, not incumbents we want to protect. Of course they're doing that, too.Yes!!! Includes my district TX-22. Pete Olson is utter garbage for how diverse his district is. Refuses to hold any town halls.
Does that mean they think they will hold Lizzie's district just fine?
Imagining being able to go to UCLA/UCB/UMich/UT for free is really wild.

Who's the guy in the right? This really doesn't work when one person actually has the tatoo in the cartoon.
