BREAKING: 30 @CCIAction and @IAStudentAction members are refusing to leave @JoeBiden’s statewide headquarters in Des Moines over his lies about #MedicareForAll and his ties to the insurance company CEOs who are funding his campaign. pic.twitter.com/95qJWFv3x6

yeah I think that's the same incident referred to by a Biden surrogate as "Sanders sending gypsies"

it's cool that sanders sent ian mackaye

and william burroughs!

man bun guy is a Pete mole

as far as local protesting goes, I could tell it was CCI and not the Catholic Worker movement people because no one had chained themselves to anything

do not piss off the catholic worker people, is what I'm saying

A man in Iowa asks Joe Biden to stop supporting the building of new pipelines. Joe Biden tells him to go vote for someone else and then starts accusing him of voting for Bernie Sanders. Actually, the man says, he's voting for Tom Steyer. Very awkward. pic.twitter.com/OOuGiypED8

hmm I wonder if that man is who I think he is and he might be fucking with Joe

whoops meant to link this

Someone has informed me that the man in the Biden video above is Ed Fallon, a former long time Democratic state rep. in Iowa. Biden told a long-time Iowa politico on camera to vote for someone else and then grabbed him by his jacket.

— Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) January 28, 2020

Goddamn it

in any case, it’s Ed Fallon, a local sometimes candidate

I have to admit I kinda love how Tom Steyer keeps getting involved in stuff like this.

Whats happened to this guy? Six months ago this showroom dummy was being wheeled around checked out and everyone hoping no one would notice, now he's ready to bump heads

On my flight into Des Moines tonight I was seated in front of a very drunk Biden staffer who proceeded to give her seat mate a hand job. I wish I was making this up.

that's the kind of job creation america needs

used to have to park in one of the lots overlooking the airport in order to get that kind of action

vote for yang - he understands how machines and AI are quickly overwhelming the human hand job industry

YEEEEEEEEEEAH

"Finally some effective voter outreach"

wow I miss some p wild stuff skipping over this thread huh

i don't know exactly when joe was embalmed but it seems to be keeping him sharp

Savannah Guthrie: "Why would he [Hunter] have that job if not for who his father was?"

Joe Biden: "Cause he's a very bright guy." pic.twitter.com/mZQw6stvnu

If what Hunter Biden did was inherently corrupt to the point of illegality, it invalidates the entire operating premise of the Ivy League.

Well, it was about time someone fired Iowa tbf

‘We had precinct captains who didn’t know how to run a caucus. And a few didn’t even show,’ said a top Biden campaign official.

You think Uncle Ray-Ray is going to miss NCIS: New Orleans for this shit?

Handjobs and Showroom Dummies -- new thread title

Biden campaigns as if he's acting on the assumption that he's so well-known and well-liked that he doesn't have to say what he wants to do as president other than sit behind the big desk and be Good Old Joe Biden, That Regular Guy You Can Trust.

i dont like doing a tweet but if I have to see this

Biden, 95 days ago, filing for the New Hampshire ballot: “I plan on trying to win New Hampshire. I’m not here to come in second. I never enter anything to come in second.”

— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) February 11, 2020

except that time when i was vice president. for eight years.

he's never come in second yet! 4th in 2020 Iowa, 5th in 2008 Iowa, and dropped out before the primaries in 1988

still has some billionaires

DIGNITY, always dignity

There should be a thread for Dennis Perrin tweets.

Andrew Cockburn, last year

Henwood otm

Also, Biden is a worse candidate than Hillary. She had - and still has - a hardcore base of support, and she’s smart, knowledgeable, and can speak well. Biden lacks all those things.

— Doug Henwood (@DougHenwood) March 2, 2020

I have a hunch that "not Trump" might mean more for him than it did for her. But who knows, right?

i don't say this lightly, but henwood is worse than dennis perrin

Bad tweets are like Morbs’ Fox News

I think many Democrats genuinely believe Biden is "electable." It's also true that many blue party sinecures will vanish if Bernie is the nominee, while present jobholders will mostly keep their jobs for another four years if someone like Biden runs and loses. https://t.co/MD0Dj8y7Pg

I don't like Taibbi but that scans as pretty true to me.

biden woulda won in 2016, it isn't then anymore.

sad lol
