Tonight's lineup:
Sanders-Biden-Klobuchar
Warren-Buttigieg
Steyer
Sanders strong on the left wing, Klobuchar on the right, Biden looking better on faceoffs.
Well-heeled defense on the left with Warren, a surprising rookie on the right.
The backstopper lacks primetime experience.
Warren with a nice pass from deep in the zone to Klobuchar but a missed opportunity with a rather weak shot.
Sanders juggling the puck with some nifty mitts there on the far left wing. Outskates his support though, nobody to pass to.
Not a terrific shift from the unit, mostly stuck in the neutral zone, too much aggressiveness, not much creativity up front.
Sanders playing his game. Nothing fancy, scrappy around the boards, a solid backcheck. This is a value of having a veteran in your lineup, a blood-and-guts type of guy who will lead by example.

Lev's accent is getting more pronounced as the interview progresses. It's like seeing the cheap "abibas" logo wash off the knockoff track suit bought at a market in Zhytomyr.
It is absolutely bonkers that this ex-Soviet dealer of stolen Oldsmobiles who knows a guy who can make your gas meter run backwards, hundred bucks, no problem, is MORE CREDIBLE THAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Which he totally is!
Parnas is from Odessa, the city with a very particular reputation. Basically, it's Ukraine's North Jersey, where every single resident is Tony Soprano dialed up to 11.

My top 5 favorite quotes from the Parnas-Lutsenko texts...
5.
L: Call me after [I've drunk] 350 [ml of whiskey]
P: For such a volume one needs strong company
L: Bullshit. Now, 700 is a good plank.
P: 700 is a lethal doze!
L: Only the first time. Then, you get used.
P: Only pros!
4
L: Hey, I am being summoned by the State Dept with an insinuation that I am lying. A question: the fuck I need these adventures, especially 10 days before the election? And State is telling me my statements are helping the corrupt. Fucking great help for Ukraine!
3. L: Sorry, I am fucking sick of this. I haven't gotten the visit. My No. 1 hasn't gotten shit. I am ready to fuck over your opponent, but you want more. We gotta do it all, but you - always later. It's not fair.

To be precise, the Russian word снять, which is here translated as "get rid of" usually means "to remove from position" and not "to murder in a dark alley by means of a dagger to the liver."
Doesn't change that the whole exchange is bonkers, but we MUST be precise.
Also, Parnas' Russian is borderline illiterate. Think an American redneck stereotype.
Not only does he omit all punctuation and use the completely wrong form of the pronoun "me," he can't even spell Lutsenko's first or last name properly.
This is the Russian of someone who really hasn't used it in a long time and who was never well educated to begin with.

#Biden has always been a disastrous candidate for women and thus far is performing badly as ever.
Biden's rollout in majority black Philly was small, majority suburban and male.
Biden has zero policy, but much baggage.
Biden is NOT our future.
The future is female.
I know no one who is pro-Biden.
Not my MIL who rolls her eyes over Biden but likes Warren nor a single other family member, friend, colleague or neighbor, whether boomer, gen x or millennial.
Polling has been limited and 67% say they are still looking while Biden's numbers drop.
This long, well-researched piece on Biden by @rtraister is the story of Biden & women. It clarifies why he's not the choice for an electorate that has moved left & younger. The excitement is for the women & younger men. Debates will shift the narrative.

#Biden slumps, #Buttigieg soars, tied with #Sanders and #Warren, #Harris next in benchmark #Iowa poll thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Critical point here is that the MSM is claiming that #Sanders "came within a handful of votes" of #HillaryClinton, when he lost in a landslide of 4M votes, 1k pledged delegates (not SDs) and a dozen states.
2/
This false narrative harms #Sanders--it's meant to highlight how badly he's doing in 2020 and prop up #Biden. But Sanders is actually doing better than in 2016. There are just more players. And Biden is being replaced by a younger centrist, #Buttigieg.

#Warren, #Harris and #Castro had previously called for #impeachment weeks ago.

More Democrats Are Calling For Impeachment After #Mueller Said He Could Not Clear Trump buzzfeednews.com/article/paulmc…
A week ago both #Beto and #Buttigieg had joined the impeachment calls.Today #Booker, #Gillibrand and others added their voices for impeachment and #Sanders said he would support whatever Pelosi chooses to do, but said it seems time to examine the issue.
The outlier among the frontrunners is #Biden, who took a wait-and-see attitude. In his
statement, #Mueller declaratively punted the ball to Congress.

#warren/#buttigieg 2020. Tell me why I'm wrong.
I was really hoping to elect a person of color, and I still have some interest in Harris. But she's getting too much heat for her prosecutor background. Besides Warren has the most policies that align with my view of America, AND she knows how to make those goals achievable!
And Buttigieg... I'm still learning about his ability to govern, but I'm continually impressed by how worldly and hella SMART he is. and he's obviously had some inside experience of oppression as a gay man from middle America.

This thread from @0x49fa98 has got me thinking about what a new reformation of Christianity would look like. What are some possible ways that it could go? One possibility is that it could shift (back?) to being concerned more with internal transformation than external actions.
(This is not my own idea. I think I probably picked it up from Bruce Charlton at charltonteaching.blogspot.com, but I can't find the post I seem to remember reading).
At the moment, the Church, at least from my perspective, is more concerned with the actions of a person, than the inner reality from which their actions flow. This is found in both the 'left' and 'right' wing leaning members.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
