The Bernie base is still extremely excited about Bernie, but seems like other Democrats are not.

(yet)
I assume by "'08" he meant to type "16"...

These numbers will probably change, but this looks like the Pete+Amy vote is equal to the Bernie+Biden+Warren vote in a state that should be one of Bernie's strongest and voted 61% for him in 2016.

But idk

2016: Bernie wins NH by 22% over the heir-apparent to the Democratic party and the head of the country's most powerful political machine

2020: Bernie wins NH by 1.5% over the hitherto unknown former mayor of South Bend, Indiana

I can feel the Political Revolution!!!
Sorry I meant 1.2%

1/Anyway, I've been reading @rickperlstein books, and I've naturally been thinking about the parallels between 1965-1976 and 2014-present...
2/It seems like the outpouring of leftist energy has proceeded roughly analogously to that time, with Obama as JFK/LBJ. The GOP backlash, with Trump as Nixon, also seems somewhat analogous...
3/But one big piece of the analogy is missing: the conservative movement.

By 1972 the conservative movement was already gathering strength. It had already captured the GOP nomination once, with Goldwater. Eventually it would triumph in 1980...

1/Today's @bopinion post is about one of the most amazing countries in the world: SOUTH KOREA!

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/Parasite's big Oscar victory drove home the undeniable reality that South Korea is a global cultural superpower.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
3/But this was true long before Parasite, and the movie is only one small part of the Korean Wave. K-pop is a huge global phenomenon!

The weirdest defense of Bernie's OK-but-not-great showing is "yeah, but it's a 5-person race".

OK but if Bernie were getting more support, it *wouldn't* be a 5-person race.

"Lots of people are supporting candidates other than mine" is just a weird flex.
I mean, these other candidates didn't just drop out of the sky and get 24%! There's no reason "former mayor of South Bend, Indiana" should have been a contender.

And if Bernie had lit a real prairie fire, he wouldn't be.
I predict Bernie will win the nomination (and I predicted this from the start), but I thought he'd be getting 35% in New Hampshire and Iowa and he's getting like 26% or 28%.

Looks like Democrats now want to pass a law to force the whole country into supporting unions & their corrupt leaders.

No more right to work, everyone forced to pay union dues, no more union members voting by secret ballot & doing away w independent contractors.

H/t @TomAdsit
Not sure if my whole thread is visible to others bc Twit has been chopping it up on me, but here’s just a small taste of Union leader/executive corruption:

This isn’t anywhere near all of it.

Trump vows to VETO the #Democrats recent bill that would ban almost all freelance work across the country (mirroring California's recent law that did the same).

#BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT

It's been a long journey to reach that conclusion. Please hear me out.

My journey started in Beirut, where I grew up in a brutal civil war. Violence and injustice everywhere.

But today's America alarms me more than Beirut...
BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE

In America today, children are stolen from their parents, locked in freezers, caged, gunned down in schools.

Billionaires get richer while children go hungry, homeless, and without healthcare.

A society that brutalizes children is BROKEN...
BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE

When I quit my music career to become an anti-Bush activist at the turn of the millennium, it stunned me to see the Democratic Party, my party, largely go along with Bush's assault on civil liberties. Torture. War based on lies. Patriot Act...

Gonna do a #Bernie2020 #thread, but I want to preface this by shooting down the "Not a Real Democrat" argument - the Democratic and Republican parties are hemorrhaging supporters like crazy right now, the only "real" anythings right now support the status quo that got us here.
But, this trend isn't recent, let's zoom out… Wow, look at that giant drop in "Real Democrats" after Carter, when the New Deal Democrats had been soundly defeated, first by the DNC itself at the 1968 national convention - then the '72 rule changes - and Carter's poor performance
What happened in '68? Why, the DNC decided that it knew better than 80% of Democratic voters and the delegates chose Humphrey - and the Anti-War protestors didn't like the pro-War candidate that they wouldn't vote for, and The Establishment didn't like that, man

I know just how much everyone’s still extremely excited about the #SpendingRound - here’s my take in advance of the statement, the Chancellor’s first big fiscal event ... bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
Understand that Departments made £50bn of bids for new money as part of this Spending Round...
Spending Round coming up...

the key numbers on planned public spending at previous Spending Reviews/ Rounds

The real annualised growth in RDEL - non capital Departmental Expenditure Limits

2010 -2.1%
2013 -2.7%
2015 -0.8%

2019 - will be first positive one for 12 years...

CVE-2019-0708 RDP vulnerability megathread, aka BlueKeep.

Going to nickname it BlueKeep as it’s about as secure as the Red Keep in Game of Thrones, and often leads to a blue screen of death when exploited.
If you want a quick and dirty mitigation for Windows 2008 and 7, turn on NLA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_L…
There are no public PoCs yet, and no sign of exploitation in wild.

Joke PoCs are already appearing on Github. Don’t run random PoCs you find online; they will often be malicious.

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.
