If Biden enters, there will be SEVENTEEN.
The same as the 2016 #GOP group.
Biden, Bernie and Harris lead.

2020 Presidential Candidates: Here’s the Full, Updated List of Democrats Vying to Take on Donald Trump newsweek.com/full-list-demo…
With such a huge group and others still talking about entering, like Tim Ryan suggested Wednesday on CNN and Stacey Abrams said Tuesday, who will rise and how? The 2016 GOP race was a sh*tshow.
What Democrats should remember is Bernie will refuse to leave the primary, just like in 2016. So Dems are running against him and Trump.

Bernie's getting 90% of the press at present, but that will shift to Beto, at least initially. Women will vie for air-time.

I get asked something like this at every convention and often through email or DMs: "Could you give advice on pitching ideas to companies?"
Presumably, because I've been in a position to be on the receiving end of the pitch process. Well buckle up, we're going on a short ride!
This advice is free and it's relatively simply to follow. Your mileage may vary (so many car metaphors), so I hold no responsibility here.
#1 - Check their website to make sure they accept submissions. Some will open submissions from time to time, so you may have to wait a bit.
#2 - See how they want to receive submissions (ie: link to a pitch package, attached to an email, mailed copy of package) and in what format they want that package submitted (PDF, a Word document and jpegs, physical print...that sort of thing).

Here comes the Freedom Train, you better hurry down
Just like a Paul Revere, its coming in to your home town

I first learned about The Freedom Train of 1947 through comic books
American history had similar things before and after 1947 - there would be another official American Freedom Train for the Bicentennial, and the Civil Rights movement had Freedom Riders, and the Underground Railroad has been called the Freedom Train.

Freedom - powerful word
The Allies had won WWII, and the Axis Powers of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan were defeated.

Then what?

What do you do after you've had a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin?

#comicbooks history

During World War II, many American comic books were fervent in their patriotism - from slugging Hitler to selling War Bonds and Stamps

One comic book story blended a real life event with one of their super-heroes.

The event is the massacre at Lidice
#comicbooks history

When real people are dying - civilians, partisans and military - you just can't have Superman win the Battle of Britain or save the day at Dunkirk. Super-heroes in comics were in a world of fantasy, living out the fantasy to punching Hitler.
#comicbooks history

This is Zip Comis 31, from late 1942. The publisher, MLJ, would later change its name to Archie Comic Publications.

WWII comics in general, not just MLJ comics, often had a shocking amount of racist imagery and characterizations.

1/27 ( Spectator Part 1)

The @Spectator recently published this little list of tariffs.

The implication is that we will save significantly by not having to pay the tariffs shown. Will we?

There are a lot of items and I can't cover it all in one thread.

2/27

I've covered some in other threads, and they are perhaps worthy of a recap. But in this thread (part 1 of X) I'm going to just cover the first item, beef.

That said there is an egregious error on the list. The tariff on unroasted coffee is for decaf only. It's 0% normally.
3/27

Firstly it's worth pointing out, that all countries use tariffs. Protection of agriculture is seen as a food security issue. While there some very high peaks they are often offset by preferences and FTAs. This reduces the EU's trade-weighted applied tariffs significantly.

Okay - given the immediate trolling I received just from posting a link about Dennis Shields being found dead - they're GOING TO *LOVE* THIS.

(Pour yourself a strong drink. Seriously.)
A whole f*cking lot of people in Trump's orbit have died. In suspicious ways. Let's just review them, along with other oddities.
