Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

Sanders has split the PE vote

Public Enemy Fires Flavor Flav After Bernie Sanders Rally Spat

jesus I was just reading about how he sent a cease and desist to Bernie's campaign

my friend is at that rally and says it's pretty dope. he's a mega hip hop head and Bernie stan so not shocked

everyone making predictions about how the race will go seems to have forgotten about the existence of bloomberg

the same Bloomberg who's been mentioned many times in the last 24 hours itt and by Nate Silver himself?

p sure nobody could forget about him if we tried

He took out 2 full page ads in the A section of my Sunday paper. Not surprising but Christ he is unavoidable. I have yet to receive a single mailer but for the 3 - plus a letter - I received from him.

It might be time to strengthen my recommendation from “don’t listen to a politician speak” to include “don’t read their tweets” and maybe “don’t read what they said”

All of those things being foolish and misleading

yeah agree, these people are performing for us

fool deblast-you-oh

friends i am getting sad that joe biden could become the nominee, thats bad, im sad bc of the badness

I'm prepared to get ladsed this week and I will deserve it

wait until after Tuesday before you invest heavily in sadness about Biden's ascendency

im feeling sad about other things too i just have so much sadness

i did my part and i voted for the bern on the early voting and now i want my socialist grandpa to be president, i do not want the grandpa with veneers to be president

i just have so much sadness

now, that's very understandable. this year is shaping up to be a sad one. my best hope is spending time outdoors as much as possible. I find nature helps my sadness.

i wonder how many politicians actually write many of their own tweets?

At least one, at least this one time

Fred and I hit a deer on hiway 136 south of Dyersville. After I pulled fender rubbing on tire we continued to farm. Assume deer dead

jesus I was just reading about how he sent a cease and desist to Bernie's campaign

this bit seems entirely fair tbh

Any Klobuchar’s rally at my old high school cancelled because of BLM protesters.

The fanfic and political cosplay by Biden and Warren supporters again shows how many Americans prefer fantasy to reality. The larger culture encourages illusion, but countless people are eager to play their subservient role. Reality angers them, and not in a productive way.

Flavor Flav has always struck me as a total moron

(also a homophobic bigot)

Most of you know politics and I trust you understand what this is. https://t.co/4KR2VKL7rK

corrosive levels of minnesota nice

you can hear the teeth gritting

I dunno, the old 'your partner is the best!' gambit is a tried-and-true pass-agg classic.

Don't see how the Perrin tweet couldn't apply to supporters of all candidates in the race, including Bernie.

Flavor Flav has always struck me as a total moron

Because no African-American entertainer has ever made their name by playing a foolish character. Flavor Flav was a childhood piano prodigy, went to culinary school, and plays at least a half dozen musical instruments. He and Chuck D met in college. If you think he's a moron, you're seeing what he wants you to see and no more.

i have a pretty good flava flav story that i should tell sometime when this story is less hot

am i wrong in my belief that Chuck owns the copyright to PE? I'm pretty sure Flav has no real argument here.

there are all kinds of morons and/or cocaine casualties

I don't know. They had to perform as "Public Enemy Radio" when they were w/o Flav

I imagine Chuck has dealt with a whole lot over the years


still wish whatever was completed of Flav's Bomb Squad era solo album would surface

i have a pretty good flava flav story that i should tell sometime when this story is less hot

Does it involve getting his name right?

would imagine stuff like this more to do with it than Bernie

https://www.tmz.com/2017/08/30/flavor-flav-sues-chuck-d-public-enemy-profits/

though I personally can't conceive of PE without Flav, the dynamic and contrast between him and Chuck is the key to the whole thing working

Does it involve getting his name right?

Flavor Flav. . .went to culinary school. . .

no offense, but ime these are moneygrabbing vocational schools (i graduated from one, and i was, and may still be, a moron!)

also, i believe unperson went to college

Flavor flav is da first taste ya git in da mornin,
Ya breakfast is da flavor
In between dat ta lunch, in between dat dinner,
In between dat ta midnight flavor
Yeah, das right I got somethin fa all da fandangoes of damangoes of
Da fandangoes of da mangoes

who is working at these lyric sites?

am i wrong in my belief that Chuck owns the copyright to PE? I'm pretty sure Flav has no real argument here.

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses)

according to the Rolling Stone article, this is correct

his lawyer's statement said he owned and designed the trademark

NEW: In memo, Elizabeth Warren campaign manager @RogerLau basically admits the Warren candidacy is now a convention effort.

“no candidate will likely have a path to the majority of delegates”

“Milwaukee is the final play.”
