The Politics Thread

Yesterday DOJ sentence recommendation for Stone was 8 years (I think), but after Trump tweeted it was too excessive, has today descended their recommendation, claiming ots to excessive

 

Also Graham says AG Barr and the DOJ will work with Guiliani in investigating the Bidens!

I read somewhere that Bloomberg was only running to stop Bernie, but it looks like he's helping him more than anything.   He and Tom Steyer (maybe Mayor Pete as well) are just taking more votes away from Biden.

 

Idiots like this don't help.

4 of the Prosecutors on the Stone casehave resigned in the last few hours, a Tuesday Afternoon Massacre!

On a side note Ryan Nobles from CNN is hot.

Bloomberg is racist is currently the #2 trending topic on Twitter. Can't say that I'm surprised, it was bound to happen.

 

Apparently, a tape where Mike Bloomberg is heard defending stop-and-frisk is making the rounds on social media.  I'm not surprised either, @DramatistDreamer.  Like you said, it was bound to happen.

 

But, I thought Bloomberg's defense of the procedure (which, granted, he has since apologized for) was common knowledge, so where is Twitter's sudden outrage coming from?

I wonder how fundraising is going for Biden? I've seen questions about how much money his campaign has, but I haven't seen the numbers laid out.

South Carolina will be the final nail in a few coffins. the field will really thin out, but with Bloomberg rising in the polls....

Biden and Warren aren't getting delegates in NH.

 

If I were Warren I'd be pissed that Bernie hasn't had to answer how he'll pay for any of his plans.

Warren and Biden are a disaster tonight.

It looks like Michael Bennet is dropping out, too, which is good, in terms of narrowing the field of candidates.

 

Of course, I can't help but wonder if he stayed in this long, because his voters kept confusing him with the guy who directed "A Chorus Line" and "Dreamgirls."

Not just Bernie Sanders.  It seems like Elizabeth Warren is the ONLY candidate who keeps getting pinned down by how-are-you-gonna-pay-for-it questions, like she's the only snake oil salesman in the group.

Less than a minute and CNN has said twice already that Warren and Bidden performances have been embarrassing.

A "disaster"?  Perhaps.  But, as we know already, Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren were looking ahead of NH.  So, the results aren't entirely unexpected.
