Buttigieg is way dreamier, IMO.

I'm not saying a 3-way is off the table either…but we're really getting off topic

that beto was a skater, in a band and was a hacker really ups the hotness game in my book…what whatdoikno
Both of them are too good for this country….in terms of hotness I am with Mayor Pete and Tulsi Gabbard…maybe they could run a hot ticket
The bi guy, Spartacus. And Rosario Dawson.

Both of them are hot AF. They're the ones in want to have a threesome with.
So it seems if 2020 debates were turned into an orgy… we'd get a lot more people watching
Although Bernie and Biden are not invited


I think this is a good thing
VICE: 2020 Democrats are dropping like flies from pro-Israel AIPAC conference.

But not sure the public agrees and I am sure faux news is going to shout this from the mountaintops
^ unfortunately that just feeds trump's "democrats are anti-semites" narrative.
He's going to say it whether they attend or not, so who gives a shit?

EDIT: and also its good as hell

exactly my point…what is the irony of it Jews overwhelmingly vote for Democratic Presidential candidates
Jexodus is their latest line of lies

We all know why the GOP loves Israel…and it's not because of the Jews there (although they are pretty conservitave there) it's because the jews need to be in Israel for end-times baby!

As a Jew I'm sick and tired of the narrative that if you are critical of anything Israel does…you are an anti-semite
not f'n true.  We should always be critical of a State no matter who it is…even our own government

but different story when it's  of a race/creed/color/gender/sexual orentiation..and dare I say religion (although I'm vehemently anti-organized religion)
off the table…unless they are committing crimes, none of those categories should be protection for the rule of law


edit…from the A-holes over at the Heratige Found
https://www.heritage.org/political-process/report/making-sense-jewish-liberalism
At the outset, perhaps we should ask: Just how liberal is the Jewish community? Shall we say, ex- ceedingly? Shall we say, devoutly? It's a cliche that is nonetheless true that Jews have the incomes of Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans. – Ruth Wisse, professor of Yiddish literature at Harvard, writes: "Jews are associated with liberal-ism the way the French are associated with wine: It is considered native to their region." Excepting blacks, Jews are the most liberal demographic group in the population.
lot to unpack there…but the article goes to lenghts to quote jews saying really offensive things
About that exodus: Some 79 percent of Jews voted for Democrats in last year’s midterm elections, according to exit polling data, up from the 71 percent who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and the 69 percent who voted for Barack Obama in 2012. And Jews take a dim view of Mr. Trump, according to a 2018 Gallup poll that found that just 26 percent of Jews approved of the president’s performance, the lowest of any major religious group.

Should we create a rule that you're not allowed to talk about Jexodus without posting a photo of Elizabeth Pipko in her lingerie, since that's all the attention she wanted anyway?
Sheldon Adelson is going to reward Trump for moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights- I think- with at least $50 million…maybe $100 million

Context is important.
oh these headlines are getting depressing

Trump just got re-elected

Liberal obsession with the Mueller probe has gifted Trump the moral high ground and electoral momentum


this line is the zinger…
With few exceptions, America's liberal intelligentsia - in and outside the corporate media - always preferred to believe that one Russian was responsible for the election of a fascist, rather than 43 million Americans.

That's what concerns me the most…if for some bizarro reason we get rid of trump…what about these 43 million who thinks he walks on water


jeebus.  election is a year and a half away, and the electorate has the memory of a mentally deficient goldfish.  so much can, and will, happen - mueller will be one of twenty different threads trump & the dem nom will be pulling at…
Hey #allgoldfishmatter !
So the right is really going to try hard to make the Green New Deal look like Mao's cultural revolution

I think Mike Lee is an idiot…but he dropped some serious pop culture references on the floor of congress with this speech
https://www.facebook.com/WorldCloudLA/videos/262780134640855/?t=0

few comments
1. First recorded mention of Sharknado 4 on the floor of congress (and now a part of the record)
2. Tauntaus are NOT carbon neutral…have you smelt their farts!
3. Tauntauns are a species of snow lizard …NOT Space Lizards as Mr Lee states
4. I don't trust the veracity of his Cow quote as he didn't have a translator with him on that visit
VERY COOL!!!

"Fugazi capitalism would be inclusive, consumer-friendly and ethical. It would favor the interests of small businesses over corporations. It would reject cronyism. As O’Rourke described MacKaye, he “really did represent this super-ethical way, not just of being in a band, or running a label, or putting on shows, but of just living.”
