beto and bernie may have raised millions of dollars, but they haven't raised a single pie.

Au contraire, mon frère. Beto is a pie raiser from way back.

Actually, Bernie raised $5.9 million in the first 24 hours, but who's quibbling?

Tellingly, though, he hasn't been bragging about his first-day haul yet, so we'll have to wait and see if his support is still as strong as when he took on Ted Cruz.

Perhaps Beto just isn't prone to boasting about his millions like Bernie is. :)

NEW RULE

If people are going to keep referring to Beto O'Rourke as "failed Senate candidate from Texas," they are required to announced other candidates in similar fashion.

Beto's big announcement followed a cover story in Vanity Fair, and his launch is the biggest since Bernie Sanders got in the race.

You mean Bernie Sanders, Independent from Vermont and failed presidential candidate running as a Democrat, right? :)

A quick glance at the Trumpertantrum on Twitter reveals that Perp POTUS realizes it. :)

Seems Beto's donations have eclipsed those of Sanders' initial interest. Let's not lose sight of the trillion million he still has kicking around from the state run against Cruz...he may fall short in the end, but I think he may become a political force in a few years.

New Zealand...what can be said. Ordinarily I have little or no regard for religious goings-on, massacres or otherwise, as I find them all repellant, but this one is different. This outrage was about another right-wing dick, trumped up on conspiracy theories, terrorising unarmed, peaceful souls going about their (imho, pointless) business. The fact that these clowns seem to fall into police hands alive, tells you what they're in it for...they like the notoriety for having done so, not the so-called 'cause'.

Trump's an arsehole. I was amused when I saw two separate news blurbs about Trump's recent twitter-twaddle...Apparently, Biden is a 'low-IQ' individual, and recently deceased Sen. McCain finished last in his class at military college... I guess it did sting when Cohen said (under oath) that Trump dispatched him to put the kybosh on his academic records, which we can assume were quite poor, given he's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I'm aghast, CW...say it aint so that Trump, despite his campaign promises of 2016, would like to slash Medicare, Medicaid, housing, education and ignore national debt. Next you'll be selling that his trade fracas with the rest of the world and its imposed tariffs has all but destroyed the auto industry in Illinois... I'll unsubscribe if you then go on to tell me that putting a five-time bankrupt scallywag in charge of a thriving economy was a shrewd idea. NO SHIT. You score zero points for hindsight, we all knew Trump to be a demagogue, his budgetary request garners nothing more than a shrug and a mild eyeroll.

Biden-Bloomberg...has a nice ring to it. As does Biden-Booker.

LL&P

Things like the Sunday Talk shows are dominated by GOP guests. With so many Dems running, they'll need to get out there. This is how to move the "Overton window."

Oh, it gets even worse! Supposedly Boeing had been working on a complete software update for the Boeing Max line after the first crash occurred. They would have had it finished by now had Trump not shut down the government and the work on the project was halted for five weeks!

So, yes, feel free to blame Trump for the lives lost in the most recent crash!

It's a nasty lot over there.

I'm not sure Trump is even paying much attention anymore...between his many hous of executive time, and his hollow staff, the executive tiller seems unmanned.

This actually makes sense! It’s like when Trump says, “No collusion with Russia”; that’s just his fast talk for:

There is no doubt that there was collusion committed by me and my campaign to steal the election with the help of Russia!”
