Here's the @SenFeinstein video threaded #DianneFeinstein To recap: she engaged on substance, told them she might vote "yes," and OFFERED ONE OF THEM AN INTERNSHIP. pt 1
A thread as you remember Jackie Mason, who campaigned for Rudy Giuliani in 19189 until he made a series of racist attacks on David Dinkins.
This is Mason telling Arsenio Hall about campaigning for Rudy — before he was booted.
...and this is the rest of the appearance, in which a bemused Arsenio does his best to let Mason rescue the bit. Mason would go on to get reluctantly dropped by Rudy for remarks about Mr. Dinkins, like...
"There is a sick Jewish problem of voting for a black man no matter how unfit he is for the job. All you have to do is be black and don't curse the Jews directly, and the Jew will vote for a black in a second. Jews are sick with complexes." - Jackie Mason orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-19…
Visiting my mom in the hospital for possibly the last time today. I happened to pick this shirt, and then I remembered it's the exact same color as the cushion she handmade me for my sousaphone (yep, I played that).
Lots of reminders of Mom today. Passed an AccessLink van on the Parkway, that's how she would come to see us sometimes. Passed a Stewart's. That was our special place when I was little. She...
... Mom used to tell me about going to "Stortz Root Beer" is what I thought she was saying, with her grandfather. And one time, we were out running errands and she said "Let's go to Stortz."
I was probably 4 or 5 and I told her I didn't like the taste of beer. She laughed and...
There are 2 related reasons. The June poll included an oversample of Black voters, while the August poll did not sample enough Black voters to include them in crosstabs, which means fewer than 125 (see poll methodology). And the Aug poll oversampled "battleground states" voters.
Pretty much all of Trump's gains and Biden's losses are attributable to white voters and independents. So this poll basically reflects and exaggerates the reaction of white people to the selection of Kamala Harris.
THREAD on the Joe Biden "n-word" video smear that's been going around. It's obvious he's quoting someone, this is the passage it was clipped from. He was grilling a Reagan nominee about pre-clearing an obviously racist redistricting plan. mediaite.com/a/isgeg
Biden first brought up the quote the day before, but the video was jacked up, there's only audio. He was reading from a memo that the nominee William Bradley Reynolds saw BEFORE he precleared the racist plan. mediaite.com/a/isgeg
Biden absolutely GRILLED the guy on this case, a grilling I present here in parts. Part 1: mediaite.com/a/isgeg
@fawfulfan@leahmcelrath@emilycrockett@Mediaite There are a few reasons why this bothers me, but I'd first like us all to agree on the facts. What she said in 2007 is definitely in conflict with what she says now, and what she said in 2007 was factual. She lacked the credentials to keep the job.
@fawfulfan@leahmcelrath@emilycrockett@Mediaite From a purely political perspective, Warren has considerable strengths, but also vulnerabilities that need to be addressed and aren't. They need to be addressed before she's the nominee, not exploited after. So I'll stipulate to her strengths.
