Bloomberg-Liberman on rye
You're not worth engaging, but try to spell the names correctly when you're trolling around spewing anti-semitic vitriol & insulting those of us who are jewish.
Ugly.
They must have cranked the amps on the red hat transmissions to cause a hive defense swarm reflex against Bloomberg.
we're moments away from hearing a bunch of fake reasons why Bloomberg may or may not be catastrophic for the U.S., shifting the blame to the Democrats for choosing such an unelectable candidate, thus forcing the right's hand to have no choice but to vote for Trump again to save America from the dangerous and irresponsible left, who foolishly chose Bloomberg, who would ruin America. they will take their own thoughts and image, and project it right onto their opponents. what happened to these people? i used to enjoy engaging in debate about George W. Bush with the right. now it's a bunch of cult-like anti-social rhetoric.
The Trump Cult now has a uniform. The first link below features our number 1 model, Never Trumper turned Lead Trump Sycophant, Lindsey Graham. The second link features Mark Meadows and of course Don Jr. Soon it will be required attire for GOP House & Senate.
Bloomberg-Liberman on rye
yesterday the N-word was used in a joke, and now this.
Where exactly was the N-word used in a joke? I didn’t see it
By way of hijacking W/out Hostility...
One of the better known sayings in the sport of auto racing is “Gentlemen, start your engines”
President Trump will be saying it at the Daytona 500
Will he/they receive condemnation for doing so -
After all, “he persecutes children, he has criminal intentions against the United States, what is the matter with you wanting Him to give the command that defines our sport when he’s only using it for political gain” etc -
It will cause protests at the venue, likely for some drivers to drop out in protest.... - also, ”how can fans enjoy themselves when they’re outnumbered by security personnel.....”
it’ll generally be divisive & stain a famous American sports event, again, some believing b/c of Trump, others, not so much him but the protests & heavy security compromising their enjoyment of the day as fans - I hope I’m wrong, but......
If he or a poster did use the N-word, good riddance to them
With malice/ill will toward none

If you are referring to me, NIGS is not "nigger". If that is what you think, you have a serious problem that meds or therapy can never help. Context of the topic and what I actually posted has/had nothing to do with referencing race. How much do those glasses that see what isn't there cost? Maybe Bernie will give you free pair of you break the pair you are wearing now.
I don't think he'll get much in the primaries. If he doesn't do well in the Super Tuesday, he may just pull out.
Southern states are mainly rural and the phrase "god, guns, and country/family/gold (different regions)" is pretty much as well known as the Lords' prayer.
With Bloomberg constantly advertising his and Obamas' "gun safety laws", it's possible that a fair number of gun owning Democrats will not vote for him.
Could be. But the Democrats that are left probably all have similar positions on guns. Bloomberg does make it a top issue so it may turn some people off. I'm from a different part of the country but I didn't know many Democrats subscribed to a "God, guns and country" mantra...not that I'm saying those things can't be important to a Democrat, but I've always associated that as a Republican motto. So in terms of a Democrat primary I wouldn't have expected those feelings to play much of a role. I have no problem deferring to your point of view on the matter. The votes will show us what people think.
Looks like it’ll shake down to the four B’s, Bernie, Biden, Bloomberg, Buttigieg, as the DNC approaches
Quinnipiac: Nearly Half of Biden’s African-American Supporters Have Abandoned Him
By John McCormackFebruary 10, 2020 2:57 PM
Quinnipiac’s results among African-American Democratic primary voters in late January:
Biden 52
Sanders 15
Bloomberg 8
Warren 7
Buttigieg 0
And now:
Biden 27
Bloomberg 22
Sanders 19
Warren 8
Buttigieg 4

Guns are very important to many Democrat gun owners. However, most I think see the difference between enacting tougher background checks and assault type weapon bans and the knee jerk reaction the Republicans have that any restrictions on guns at all will mean the government is coming for their hunting rifle or hand gun.

Didn't Obama take away all their ammunition?
Many in the Republican establishment were scared of Trump too remember. Maybe Bernie resonates deeper with people than suspected? Bernie might be able to defend himself when given the chance.
“In many respects, we are a socialist society today,” Sanders responded, noting the tax breaks and subsidies Trump received from the government as a businessman.
“The difference between my socialism and Trump’s socialism is I believe the government should help working families, not billionaires,” he added.
Although...with Bernie, with friends like these....they're pretty polarizing
That was the best nonsporting event thing I've watched on network TV in a long time!
Almost seemed like there was some kind of backroom plan to take Amy out tonight between Mayor Pete and one of the moderators. She was attacked more than I expected.
Got to respect Bernie for his convictions, he is who he is. But the more things get brought up like eliminating natural gas extraction in 5 years and having employees own 20% of the companies they work for...that is going to be a tough pill to swallow.
Warren seemed to look pretty desperate to me tonight.
Biden was assertive and may've reestablished himself a little, like "hey man, I'm still here".
Mayor Pete, I don't know...didn't seem to fit the part.
That brings me to Bloomberg...man it was rough early on. Fortunately for Nevada voters, this debate won't matter. Clearly he was fresh meat entering the ring with polished prize fighters and talented up-and-comers and hew as wounded pretty good early. I did feel after about maybe 2/3 of the way in or a little over half he started to hold his own. I think Bloomberg will continue to do well in direct debates with Bernie as this process goes on.
I've wanted this for a long time and it is very clear watching this debate it only gets clearer - these parties need split. You can have Democrats divided into the far-left Sanders, Warren, AOC, etc wing. Then you can have the moderate Biden, Klobuchar type wing. Even throw in the Steyer, Bloomberg wing - hey Democrats can be billionares too, in fact many are. They don't need to be demonized. And the same with the Republican party...you can have whatever the Trump wing of the party actually is and then you can have the 1970s, 80s, 90s type Republican party. 4 or more parties with seats in both houses of Congress all vying for the White House. This big tent party stuff is crazy, Mayor Pete had a good line tonight...how about actually nominating a Democrat for the Democrat nomination (rather than a socialist or a Republican/Democrat).
Might've just heard the truest thing I've ever heard out of Lawrence O'Donnell...it's all fantasy world. They spend a half hour, or more, on healthcare plans that can not possibly pass the Senate as it currently is or as it potentially could be. Instead of focusing on things that the President directly has control over like foreign policy - which was nonexistent tonight. Bernie's plan and Pete's plan are equally unrealistic and Pete shouldn't pretend his is more realistic. Another good point, Mayor Pete once elected says he is going to go to Kentucky to convince Mitch McConnell's constituents to support his healthcare plan after Trump won Kentucky by 20 points - it's fantasy.
Mayor Pete, I don't know...didn't seem to fit the part.
what in particular? i liked him. i never speculate on whether a policy would be effective or not, but he seems very intelligent, articulate, good character, positive role model. i thought he possessed similar traits to Obama.
The manner in which he attacked Klobuchar was a huge turnoff to me, both times he did it. And other than Bloomberg looking out of place, for the first time I saw the lifetime of experience on that stage preparing them for the highest job in the land, perhaps the world, and I listened to Pete and I just couldn't see it. Now I didn't see it with Obama early on either...and Pete is no Obama. I don't dispute his intelligence or anything else you see in him. For me, I think he falls short in the resume department compared to his peers. I hadn't thought that of him before but something about last night made me think that way.
Political fans and junkies watch these debates, millions upon millions of other people don’t.
Just another blip. In the end, The Blue Team will vote Blue Candidate, The Red Team will vote Trump.

Which is why I find the idea of primary debates ludicrous. It's almost like high school debate teams arguing theoretical scenarios as something to add to their college applications. I understand it is the way the DNC works to get to the convention, but in 2020, talking about issues is irrelevant when the key issue is electability. What would be more interesting/useful is ALL dem candidates making a 5 minute pitch as to why they believe they're electable & can beat Trump in the national election - more like a job interview as to why you're best suited for the job over the other interviewees. I see no benefit to the party as a whole to have their ultimate nominee & party standard bearer being repeatedly beaten up by a collection of fellow dems on national TV.
Trump has hinted several times since his impeachment acquittal that he won't debate the dem nominee. He's running on his record as a bureaucracy busting wild card "genius." In his mind, it's a waste of time to even pretend to have a serious debate on "issues."

I wonder though, I can't say how many, but Bernie's base seems so unique - you think they show up for a nominee other than Bernie if the DNC super delegates take his nomination away? Or, if Bloomberg is the nominee (as strange as that sounds after a poor entrance last night), you think Bernie supporters will back him? Are Bernie supporters, some number of them at least, even on the blue team?

I have to agree. I'm one of those who doesn't watch. With the exception of one write-in vote, I've pulled the Blue Team Lever every time. That makes for a pretty sad success rate (McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore) but the Red Team wasn't offering anything in line w/my views. Those conclusions weren't based on run-up-to-the-election debates, but years of watching & following the candidates when they were governors & congressmen. For me, that provides a richer context for making a choice than who has been best groomed for a TV show.
I see no benefit to the party as a whole to have their ultimate nominee & party standard bearer being repeatedly beaten up by a collection of fellow dems on national TV.
"ultimate nominee & party standard bearer" Bloomberg?.....What does this guy stand for?...All we really know about him is that he is extremely wealthy and is willing to spend millions on TV ads. What substance has he shown?.... if it is Bloomberg, he was "Beaten up" solely because of the things that have exited his mouth. "Standard bearer"?...Was he not once a Republican?

Bloomberg?.....What does this guy stand for?
Google is your friend. Once I decided to bother to find out what Bloomberg stood for it took me about 30 seconds.
Here's a great quote from Mr. Bloomberg (while on stage in Vegas) showing that the fallout of the Mortgage crisis and how it affected Tens of thousands of homeowners is beyond his understanding and how it related to the average Homeowner. He is after all a BILLIONAIRE which places him squarely in that 1% Category the left is supposed to despise.
Quote: “It came about because the people who took the mortgages, packaged them and others bought them. That’s where the disaster was.”
"That's where the disaster was"!
No, that was the cause, the disaster was all of the homes lost by hard working Americans.
Maybe if he is elected we can bring back "Stop and frisk" and make it a National program!
Quote: "..I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little".....
Two real winners here from the former mayor!...Sounds kinda racist
Thanks!...Found these gems with a simple Google search!
YAAAWWWWNNN. So Bloomberg is worth a chuckle - certainly not the incessant sidesplitting farce of a president you go to bat for every chance you get.
"Worth a chuckle" Just what the leadership of the Democratic Party is looking for.
If you love Trump so much just tell us why
Because he kept Hillary and Democratic "values" out of the White House
Yeah we know, that is the tape loop you play every time you are asked to tell us what impresses you about Trump. That tells us zero about what you like about Trump, his policy, personality, endeavors.
Then for the umpteenth time, there is my answer, right there. I like not much about him other than the accomplishment of keeping the Democrats out of the White House.
I like not much about him . . .
Feel better?
I am having a wonderful day, thanks
Then for the umpteenth time, there is my answer, right there. I like not much about him other than the accomplishment of keeping the Democrats out of the White House.
it’s not that you want him, it’s that you need someone that you don’t like to save you from a perceived danger that won’t ever go away. What a position you put yourself in.
Suits me just fine
Donald Trump is the POTUS, whether I vote for him or not, he is my, he is our president. Barack Obama was my President, our President. If Elizabeth Warren wins she will be my and our a President. People can look st it different ways, until Trump leaves office he is President of the United States and I am a citizen of the United States, he is our President.
Suit yourself, speak for yourself. Not my president - he is an impostor. Just getting in on the ground floor of the right side of history, don't mind me. Worth having on record before the Redhat Coup kicks into execution mode after 2020. Like all those Germans who wished they had called out Hitler before it became the "in" thing to do after 1945.

I agree, and I suspect so would Santayana.
