Clyburn’s Biden endorsement, the kind that money can’t buy.

Deeply personal, methodical, mentioning friends and neighbors in South Carolina, invoking MLK Jr.

“I’m voting for Joe Biden, South Carolina should be voting for Joe Biden. And here’s why.”
We don’t need to make America great again, it’s already great. We need to make things accessible and affordable, Clyburn says during Biden endorsement.
“I know Joe, we know Joe. But most importantly, Joe knows us.”
There is no way you can argue Clyburn’s positive comments about Biden aren’t effective. My question is whether he turns that authority on South Carolina to hit other candidates, like Sanders.
Clyburn says he can’t think of anyone better for South Carolina than his old friend, his late-wife’s friend, Joe Biden.

Biden lost his first wife in a car crash.

NEW @UnivisionNews University of Houston TEXAS poll:

Sanders 26%
Biden 20%
Bloomberg 20%
Warren 11%

mediaite.com/election-2020/…
Sanders leads with 31% Latino support, Bloomberg in second at 23% and Biden at 19%. Not great for the former VP and shows the strength of Bloomberg unprecedented $30 million Super Tuesday spend aimed at Latinos thru direct mail/digital ads mediaite.com/election-2020/… via @Mediaite
@Mediaite "It’s clear the Sanders campaign is doing a lot of impressive outreach to Latinos and the polling data suggests that it’s working and he’s improving his standing with Latinos," said Latino Decisions co-founder Matt Barreto, who conducted the poll. mediaite.com/election-2020/…

Bad Bunny tired of killing it exclusively in Spanish has now decided for the first time to be our English-speaking Latino trap king on @FallonTonight
Literally love @sanbenito. He debuted his newfound comfort in English to announce his album #YHLQMDLG has 20 tracks and is coming out Saturday. Then he had fun with @jimmyfallon and said how about tomorrow at midnight? Fallon jumping around excited about getting the “scoop.” Fun.
I’m a big fan of Bad Bunny clearly. But using his voice to elevate PR, LGBT & domestic violence issues is so important. His shirt tonight brings attention to the disgusting murder of Neulisa Luciano Ruiz, better known as Alexa, who was targeted Monday after using women’s restroom

Maybe the most powerful moment I’ve seen from Biden this cycle at CNN town hall answering pastor who says he remembers him and Obama’s visiting. An emotion Biden, wiping away tears says he came back the next day for Sunday service because his son Beau had died and he needed hope.
Biden says people forget after Charleston church shooting, the parishioners forgave the shooter, calls it the ultimate act of Christian forgiveness. Says when his wife and daughter were killed and son died he had to find a purpose. “When my son Beau died, he was my soul.”
Biden was asked about how his faith informs who he is so between that and the pastor thanking him for coming after the shooting, that’s why Biden got so personal.

My 140 favorite quotes from The Ethics of Money Production (2008), by Jörg Guido Hülsmann
1. “#Money is omnipresent in modern life, yet the production of money does not seem to warrant any moral assessment”. J.G.Hülsmann
2. “To be sure, central bank representatives are lecturing the public on the importance of business #ethics; but their concerns do not seem to apply to themselves”. J.G.Hülsmann

#biden #working the #erogenous #zones. Yes, your friends at @WebMD have published a helpful guide to these pleasure points on the human body. Here's their take:
"2. The Nape Of The Neck

Though some people might get all Marie Antoinette about having their neck touched, neck kisses are almost always a turn-on, says McCombs. In fact, women ranked the nape of the neck above the breasts and nipples as an erogenous zone, [cont'd]
according to a study published in the journal Cortex. 'It’s such a sexy place because it’s such a vulnerable place,' says McCombs. 'If you combine the lips with the neck, it’s quite a turn-on.'

 Far too much energy has been depleted in condemning how the rich and the famous spend their #money (legally inherited and/or legally earned) on weddings. In one straight piece @monikahalan makes mincemeat out of them – and forces an introspection livemint.com/Money/Tzr7GQyG…
2/n
 How many of those calling such high-decibel weddings “vulgar” opt for a simple registered wedding for their children, asks @monikahalan – scathing observation on #money!
3/n
 Rather than condemning those who spend their earned/inherited #money, we need to look at how taxpayers’ money is spent on the personal upkeep of ‘public servants’ in acres-large bungalows in prime locations, argues @monikahalan
[We don’t because so few of us pay income tax.]

Covering the sure-to-be-a-shitshow HJC hearing w/RosenWray. Holding a party line vote on whether to waive notice requirements.

Cohen voted nyet; the poor clerk didn't get the joke.
The GOP is using this hearing to justify their vote to censure Rosenstein today so they can justify firing him.
Fuck you @RepGoodlatte, for invoking MLK Jr to justify your cynical obstruction. Fuck you.

I'm one of a few million Americans awake when we should be sleeping because of the pain of #cancer or some other chronic illness.

Adding to our sleeplessness is knowing #healthcare is under threat. We may not be able to afford it due to the #GOP's actions.

It's terrorizing.
My parents were Civil Rights workers. My father was a Freedom Rider. As a small child I was taught the legacy of #MLK.
I watched people invoking MLK on Monday. Not in defense of #votingrights or in outrage over how the #SCOTUS ruled on two pivotal cases on gerrymandering.
2/
MLK wasn't being invoked for #votingrights but for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who lies to America every day about policies that could very well kill me & others.

Policies that are hurting millions.

Policies that have kept me a citizen without equal rights in my own country.

So the long anticipated ICO freeze is coming techcrunch.com/2017/12/12/sec… is a good example of what's here now, and what's to come. I have three thoughts on this phenomena and how it's going to shape the markets as we go forwards into the regulated portion of the blockchain's future.
The first thing is that the smart money has always known the regulators were coming. reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comm… Obama made it clear nearly two years ago. Look at the length of the Reddit thread: people knew. The President told us the way this was going to go. Don't act surprised.
The second thing is that the regulators have an *amazing* array of tools at their disposal because people have been fleecing the public for centuries. Law evolves. Securities law, insider trading, anti money laundering etc. "Token" isn't a legal category so law gets to define it!
