Bloomberg staffers like @GregHale1 trying to drum up a controversy over Bernie’s summer house are just astonishing in their total lack of self-awareness and/or shame
@GregHale1 There's nothing hypocritical about 1) Wanting serious reforms to the USA economic system 2) Accumulating enough wealth in your 70s to purchase a relatively modest vacation home by writing a popular book. To my knowledge no workers were exploited in the process of writing the book
@GregHale1 Also, LOL at Trump supporters inevitably making a big deal out of this when Trump infamously had his products manufactured in China while railing about how China is sucking jobs from the USA

Bloomberg is a far bigger threat to your cherished "democratic norms" than Trump. There, I said it spectator.us/bloomberg-bigg…
Trump is correct when he says that Bloomberg would be an easier opponent than Bernie, because Bernie has a real following whereas Bloomberg has to purchase his. This should be 100% common sense, but the Bloomberg marketing operation is infecting voters' brains
I humbly recommend reading this piece before the debate tonight because it will hopefully give you some additional insight into the utter emptiness and shamelessness of Bloomberg

I don’t think this response is going to be adequate in the long-term. The heart attack issue will continue to come up for the remainder of the campaign. Many concerned older voters have brought it up to me unprompted
Also, memo to Bernie supporters, you don't have to be personally offended/outraged every time someone who is broadly sympathetic to Bernie makes a lightly critical strategic observation
I just wrote two largely pro-Bernie articles in major publications in the past week. I am relaying to you what I have heard on the ground from voters who do not use Twitter

Why not pick up a copy of today’s ⁦@NYDailyNews⁩ to read my Sunday feature on how Bernie beats Trump
@NYDailyNews Yes you can also read it online. But it's nice for the internet-addled among us (including me) to occasionally grasp something tactile in your hands nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…
@NYDailyNews The one big glaring liability that I'm forced to note in every piece or comment I make about Bernie (because no one else will seemingly do it) is the uncritical embrace of the Russiagate/impeachment stuff. It's gonna come back to bite him.

How ridiculous and out of touch with reality is Bloomberg?

This ad shows you.

For one thing, Donaldson is a relic of the dead past.

Having him endorse Bloomberg is meaningless. The days of Sam Donaldson are long gone.
Next, Donaldson uses the fallacious argument of Appeal to False Authority.

SO WHAT if he covered politics for 52 years?

He was a talking head. A loudspeaker.

That's all.

@SAS Scandinavian Airlines proves how Scandinavian it is by claiming that nothing is truly Scandinavian.

@SAS This is the classic Law of Jante, characteristic of all Scandinavian cultures.

The Law of Jante states that seeing yourself as a unique individual is unworthy and inappropriate.
@SAS The Law of Jante has ten rules:

1. You're not to think you are anything special.

MSNBC is trying to drum up ratings by pretending Bernie Sanders is the "frontrunner." Anyone who can read a national polling average knows he's not. But when he loses the nomination, his tinfoil hat supporters will scream conspiracy. MSNBC pulled the same lying bullshit in 2016.
For those asking, Joe Biden is – without any question whatsoever – the frontrunner. That'll remain the same no matter what happens in the demographic outlier state of Iowa today. The national polling averages are the ONLY determination at this point for who's the frontrunner.
But you don't get a lot of people to stay tuned in when you boringly report that the longtime frontrunner is still the frontrunner. So instead MSNBC is using outlier polls, etc to pretend that Bernie – who's hated by two thirds of liberals – is the frontrunner instead.

TV shows I rated four stars this year, in alphabetical order! I watched ~66 complete seasons of 62 different shows this year.
Big Mouth season 3! I tweeted this when it came out, but this show puts the lie to all of the idiots who claim diversity has killed comedy. It's a more accurate portrayal of my puberty experience than any other show I've ever seen.
Seriously, FUCK Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret. Who were these idiots who prayed to get their periods? What was this dumb bitch thinking?

Basic rule of trade policy - if you want a deal with the US or EU you have to accept their terms. The privilege is tariff free access to their market. The cost is whatever they want it to be and you will pay.

No food, no NHS, no serious US trade deal.
The question 'what will it cost us?' is never asked in the UK in a Brexit or trade context. Always us, us, us, me, me, me. And while it isn't, no deal with EU or US. The glory of isolation because nobody else understands how important we are.
Still it's good to read that Number 10 has spotted the risk and is increasingly worried a US trade deal could be exploited by Labour. I only wrote this article 10 months ago...
