It's comforting to see how trash Bloomberg is on the mic. The only thing propping this guy up is unlimited money.
Why worry about his face when the shit coming out of his mouth is so vapid?
"Term limits." "National referendum." "Washington outsider." "Immigration by non-who-ites." "Rich people are your rulers."
SHUT UP. I don't even do cable anymore and I still can't get away from this asshat.
I thought they were too busy drinking bleach to ward off coronavirus.
I could be wrong, but I feel like I was the first to jump on the Duckworth for VP train. I've been suggesting her for like a year or more lol.
He claims Bernie doesn't know how he's going to pay for his health care plan, maybe I missed it, but does Steyer doesn't seem to mention how he's going to pay for his?
Watched it again. "Bernie Sanders doesn't know how he can pay for his plan now let me show you mine (and not tell you how I'm going to pay for it?)" Doesn't seem like a well thought out ad, but maybe I'm wrong?

Trump will probably play these comments if Duckworth becomes VP but they're pretty mild in comparison to last VP picks.
Stacey makes it obvious she really really wants to be an executive and executive only.Stacey Abrams is all for being VP for any Dem nominee.

“BORTAC is the Border Patrol's military-style tactical organization based in El Paso. I last saw them at the Walmart mass shooting. They've also been sent to prison riots. Now the Trump administration is sending BORTAC into American neighborhoods. https://t.co/OhLCkt7J00”twitter.com

That comment by Buffett that all papers that ain't already utilizing paywalls or bought out by fair-natured billionaires like him and Bezos will die continues to ring true.
When was the last time the nominee was the VP of the previous (unsuccessful) ticket? Is Tim Kaine the front runner? Everyone remember Edwards 2008 and Lieberman 2004? Paul Ryan 2016 and Sarah Palin 2012?
And yet that exact same response could be applied to stop and frisk.

“FYI, the needle is skipping NV to go on to SC, where its poll numbers are better.”

Steyer was running an attack ad against Biden and Pete in NH. And I think Bernie ran an attack ad against Biden's record on Social Security in Iowa?
Solidarity!
I've been saying this but she'd make a HELL of a VP for Bernie.

I'd pay money to see somebody make a real attempt at a Nevada needle. This is going to be so much worse than Iowa.
Oh, 2016.

Skipping NV, just like Biden.
As a liberal NASCAR fan I actually think this is a great idea. It's fun, harmless, and will get him the cheers that he wants.
You've heard of the presidential first pitch, now it's the first lap!
Would that thing even survive the banking of Daytona? That shit is steep.

All the cheers he wants from a dwindling NASCAR attendance, he's friends with the France family
Haven't heard anyone give a shit about NASCAR in years, real talk. What happened to it?
They kept changing the format. Now each race is broken up into stages or some shit.
It's been in a very deep slump, but there's still millions of people that watch it and go to the races. Why more Republican Presidents haven't embraced it I don't understand, it is the easiest way to connect with blue collar voters in a way that is light and fun, without the usual issues of "keep politics out of my sports" that you get elsewhere.
In my experience, NASCAR fans as a whole aren't the crazed right-wingers that most of you are imagining. In fact, my gut tells me that there's probably a large swath that don't vote at all- so they could be easy pickups for Trump.
Now, what caused the slump is a much longer conversation.
The France family, most particularly Brian, shares a lot of the blame on this, they kept changing the rule and stage formats, Car of Tomorrow debacle, the recession, younger people don't find it exciting compared to say F1, in combination with the old guard drivers retiring causing TV ratings (cord cutting comes into play too) and fan attendance at tracks going down more each year for the past 15 years, which in turn is making sponsors pulling out and the ones that do stay it pays less than it used to.
Sure it still draws in the South and in some other places but nowhere near what they had during their peak in the 90s-early 2000s. I would consider 2004-5 as the company's absolute peak in terms of ratings and attendance.

I think the comments from that GWB Judge from earlier today are worth repeating. It seems despite Trump's vindictive efforts, the DoJ had no case against McCabe. This is crazy stuff, when even a Republican leaning Judge is sounding the alarm about "banana republic".
In one of the newly released transcripts, from a hearing in July, Cooney, who heads the Washington U.S. Attorney's Office fraud unit, told the judge they expected to make a decision on whether to charge McCabe within 60 days.
When they returned to court in early September, Cooney told Judge Reggie Walton, a George W. Bush appointee, that no decision had been made, but they expected to have one within days. At the next hearing, on Sept. 30, Cooney said "That prediction was obviously incorrect."
The judge asked why it was taking so long.
"I don't know why it's so difficult for a decision to be made," Walton said. "Either you have a case or you don't." Cooney told the judge "this is an exceedingly difficult matter and situation" and that he needed another three months.
"I don't get it," the judge said, telling Cooney he needed to make a decision in the CREW lawsuit and that "it seems to me from the standpoint of Mr. McCabe, he has a right to have the government make a decision and not hold his life in limbo pending a decision as to what's going to happen."
Walton added, "I understand there are political implications and other implications involved in reference to whether you go forward. And I fully appreciate the complexity of the assessment, especially — unfortunately, to be candid — in light of the way by the White House, which I don't think top executive officers should be doing. Because it does, I think, really complicate your ability to get a fair adjudication from the government's prospective.
"Because the public is listening to what's going on, and I don't think people like the fact that you got somebody at the top basically trying to dictate whether somebody should be prosecuted," Walton said. "I just think it's a banana republic when we go down that road, and we have those type of statements being made that are conceivably, even if not, influencing the ultimate decision. I think there are a lot of people on the outside who perceive that there is undue inappropriate pressure being brought to bear."
"It's very disturbing that we're in the mess that we're in in that regard," Walton added later. "Because I think having been a part of the prosecution for a long time and respecting the role that prosecutors play in the system. I just think the integrity of the process is being unduly undermined by inappropriate comments and actions on the part of people at the top of our government. I think it's very unfortunate. And I think as a government and as a society, we're going to pay a price at some point for this."

they should just turn it into "racing entertainment" with storylines and stuff.
Then Grave Digger can have a casket match against TruckASaurus.
BAH GAWD IS THAT HERBIE THE LOVEBUG's MUSIC?!?
She needs money, nothing to got, maybe she should get ask them for money cause shes out of cash now and her donators dont seem to be doing anything for her anymore.
He's not the only one. And this thing is going to be a shitshow that keeps those of us who actually liked it at one point from really engaging with the sport again.
NASCAR's diehards want the sport to go back to its roots. Keep it up and it'll be a regional sport again by 2030.
I've actually never met anyone who watches NASCAR in my entire life but i've only ever lived in Texas and California. Which states watch this?
Southeastern states + Midwest/Great Lakes states used to be the heart of it, but the Midwest/Great Lakes crowd has been fading away.
Ironically, the Frances do know how to run a sport and grow it. IMSA's return has been doing well but that was primarily Jim France's baby. Brian France did a ton of damage to the sport chasing making it more like the NFL or MLB.
The only driver I know is Danica Patrick.
Why is it so hard for women to get into NASCAR when it's just driving lmao

Funding. They usually don't have the money to get started or to keep going to pay for seats in competitive equipment.
Yep, I think she'd be my preferred choice for VP. A Jewish/Palestinian ticket would be earthshattering.
