I haven't decided on one Democrat hopeful or the other, and I probably won't until the DNC, because I think too much could happen between now and then.  Someone who looks good today could be undone by this time next week with some "juicy" "scandal" that pushes the REAL newsworthy stuff off the front pages and cable shows.  For now, though, I'll say Kamala Harris is certainly among the cream of the crop.

She's my first choice.  Notice people are attacking her for being both too lenient on crime and too harsh. CNN just did a piece basically calling her out for not seeking the death penalty on a police officers murder.  Also for not being compassionate to the family.  It rubbed me the wrong way, although I understand the family felt they deserved more consideration.

Yes. I don't know that much about Ganz. I figure he must be better than BN. At the same time I read a thread the other day talking about how Netanyahu is actually pretty hesitant to go to war.  There have been several situations where he could have justified it and people were even demanding it, but he went with a ceasefire after blowing up a few empty buildings.  I get that he's a bad guy, but there is something to be said for avoiding bloodshed.  Hopefully Ganz is the same in that way, but better in others.

 

From what I've read, heard, Ganz was the former head of the IDF and was in the same party as Netanyahu until he broke ranks and started his own political party, colloquially known as the "Blue and White" party and it is considered to be of a centrist-leaning party.

 

Kind of a mess, in that both Netanyahu and Ganz claim victory at this time but the full results do not appear to be in yet.

And the full results appear to be far off, if reports are accurate.

The two-minute 2020 campaign video using the score from The Dark Knight Rises "showed badly-edited jump cuts of the Clintons, Barack Obama, hundred-dollar bills, and Trump speaking at rallies and walking through the corridors of the White House." Whut. https://t.co/2hhfhflL5d

Bernie telling people that they can be a millionaire like he is if they write a best seller.  So much for our working class hero. 🙃 What a stupid comment.

Harris is also my first choice.

At last!  Some GOOD news!

More about the Avenatti indictment.

 

“Geoffrey Ernest Johnson, was a mentally ill paraplegic on disability who won a $4-million settlement. The money was wired to Avenatti, but he hid it from Johnson for years, according to the indictment.” https://t.co/OpRMfXrDBl

On second thought, maybe we SHOULD let him run against Trump.  Like they say, it takes a thief to catch a thief.

I think he's going to be a little busy doing the laundry on cell block C.

 

Damn! Taking advantage of someone who has physical and mental disabilities. That is LOW.

I laughed and laughed when I saw some of Julian's supporters going on about how even Obama hadn't brought him up on the charges Trump is. 

 

Yes, that's because Obama (mostly) cared about the rule of law. The President YOU wholeheartedly supported never has and never will. 

 

All of these people can kiss my ass. If they did not know that Trump turns the knife on anyone at any time, they were not following him closely at all. They did incredible damage to the world...all to avoid charges for their king that they now insist are simple and easy to beat.

I see some journalists worried that Trump will use Assange to go after the free press and all I can think is that if the free press had done its job in 2016 they wouldn't be looking at this kind of threat.
