Precisely. This is more phony posturing just like that TV interview.

“Buttigieg tells CNN's Erin Burnett at tonight's #CNNTownHall "Sure," he'd accept contributions from Mike Bloomberg, saying, "we have, I think different approaches and different visions," but "I'm not going to reject that help because because it came from a very wealthy person."”

When you get another California poll on the same day and it has Bloomberg with 10% more support...

“Barr has told people close to Trump that he is considering quitting over the president’s tweets, officials say https://t.co/PibwG7jR6Q”twitter.com
Will believe it when I see it.
Translation:
"No boss, seriously, shut the fuck up! I can't crime for you if you keep talking about the crimes in public!"
and "I need to make it look like I care about DOJ independence."
Wouldn't be surprised if Barr did. His job is done anyway. The Iran-Contra fixer returned for Mueller and did OT for impeachment.
Not only that I bet Biden thought he was like Hilary; she cleared the field before she even officially ran. The campaign probably never expected for Bloomberg, Amy, and Pete to be as competitive as they were. That just demonstrates his weakness. Still I think it is premature to count Biden out right now. Iowa and New Hampshire were places that Pete and Amy would do really well in, but I doubt they would as well in Super Tuesday as they did in NH and IA. I will say those two are more the flavor of the month type of candidates than anything.
Bloomberg is still a threat, but he hasn't been attacked as heavily like the rest of the candidates. Considering what I heard about him and him being fairly insecure like Trump is, I expect him to get trounced in the debates.
It's from the @elbloombito Twitter account, a parody account where Miguel Bloombito speaks entirely in broken Spanish.
I don't believe this shit about Barr for a second. The guy is a shameless craven political hack who's main interest is in consolidating power for his party and his vision for the country. He is not giving that up unless he's pushed out. All this "thinking about resigning over Trump tweets" is pure media bullshit he and/or his allies are saying on background to puff up his stature now that he's starting to take on more public heat than usual, and from peers in his own profession. Remember this is the same guy that planted shit in the media in 2018 about how he wasn't interested in the AG job and simply wrote an unsolicited memo to DOJ purely out of his own interest about how the president was innocent of obstruction all as part of a ploy to actually get the gig.
I would refer to Bloomberg as "Bloomberg Long Money", but the eventual BLM acronym use would be too sarcastic.
Agreed, the heat is on specifically from his peers and he is trying to come off as less of a fascist to compensate
Then horrifying to wonder who Trump can get who's even worse.
More data from that California Survey USA poll.
Bloomberg has 41% support from black people.
...what the fuck
Who can he even appoint? Jeffrey Rosen? Then we would have acting AG, acting Deputy, and acting Associate AGs all in the same place!
That seems wacky as hell. Bernie organizers did hear from a lot of black Oakland residents that they were supporting Bloomberg but I doubt it's that high.
Why focus on that one when there are other California polls (chances are the black subsample is borked cause it's a small number lol)
Americans might not hate politicians as much if the majority of them could just act like normal fucking people for five minutes. Then again, regular people who don't constantly tell terrible jokes to come across as "relatable" don't tend to run for office.
I'd love it if that Barr leak pissed Trump off enough for him to fire him. Sadly he'll probably just claim it's fake news.
I really wish Obama would say somehing about that misleading Bloomberg ad.
Mainly because it's not the only poll that has shown Bloomberg getting unusually high support from PoC. I sure hope you're right about the subsample being borked though.
If you thought Biden liked to go off on a tangent, you should see Amy's town hall tonight...
In every other poll his black support is in the low 20s at best though, 41% is really out there.
The narrative that Bloomberg has a problem with black support is perplexing. He won the NYC mayoral election 3 times, and by commanding leads the second and third times around. In 2005 he only lost the Bronx because his opponent was from there.
But also:
What's her healthcare plan? Would Goldar make a good Sec of State...?
Ah hell, if Forma is done I guess even Rita could get my vote on the ticket.
Ten thousand years of free healthcare, then complete human annihilation.
Honestly they tell the bad jokes because you got to hide the "highly competitive, workaholic" version of you from the voters. Nobody votes for that person, they just want that person in power whenever shit happens.....

I see. Still...ugh.
I really fucking wish Bloomberg wasn't in this damn race. His ass is giving me so much anxiety, even more so than Biden did when he was leading.
Bloomberg is a competent Biden with an infinite bank account. He SHOULD be giving you anxiety.
Yeah of course all of those things exist and are part of the problem. I'm of the mind that economic power is easily the strongest of those things though, and to even begin to look at solving those other issues we must address the absolute fact that some have more say than others due to wealth, and because of that it is far easier to ignore and not address the problems that any oppressed class has. Once everyone has equal standing economically then we can address those issues, if they even continue to perpetuate after said economic issues are dealt with.
Yea I see the Barr comments as 1) nothing more than another hint to Trump to shut the fuck up...and 2) a feint to critics and the media looking for any bit of appeal for integrity, just a wee bit to shift the conversation.
He ain't doin shit. But he knows he has to create a shrewd minimal 'appearance' of distance. Remember, actions not words.
