you're frisky today

citing the vice president slipping into DJ D-Nice’s social-distancing Instagram dance party

had that thought earlier when I saw the atty general of Missouri is suing China/the CCP

again, this is the stupidest reality we're stuck in
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses)

so is a Hennessy and apple juice

The characterization that it took orchestration is even dumber

Though I guess it wouldn't actually be a surprise if there had been a week of meetings about which emoji Diamond Joe should use to announce his presence.

well do I remember when Governor Bill Clinton was asked about boxers or briefs on MTV.

While the testing fiasco is the administration’s most egregious failure so far, there is really no shortage of fertile material for political messaging....

[But] Biden has chosen to level an accusation that doesn’t track at all with anyone’s understanding of Trump’s character and motivations.

That’s right: It’s time to get serious about China. The Biden campaign, after telegraphing a plan to accuse Donald Trump of having “rolled over for the Chinese,” released an ad this week accusing Trump of doing just that, mainly by tweeting complimentary things about the Chinese government (which had no material effect whatsoever on our own country’s handling of the coronavirus).

...Trump didn’t “roll over” for China; he is planning to blame them for his own, ongoing, metastasizing ineptitude. His opponent might consider pointing out the consequences of that ineptitude instead of co-signing the bullshit excuse.

that's a relief: I was getting worried the banks might get left out of the recovery

Obviously I'm nobody's wonk, but I predict that we won't be getting Bernie or Liz as a VP pick in any kind of attempt to unite the party.

"Mike" and his memorable ten days as a contender, huh

Mike! You know - our good friend Mike?

Always been a Democrat. Ring a bell?

These days on my walks I see one too many MAGA flies unfurled in front of houses, some as big as hot air balloons. Can't wait to wear my Biden shirt as they glare.

Owning the cons

rejected Bowie album title

the only acceptable Biden shirt would be a spin on the Natl Lampoon's "or we'll shoot this dog"

I honestly blanked on who "Mike" was, and for a second wondered if it meant Michael Bennett.

Or Mike Gravel lol

Can't believe he hasn't endorsed yet

I bet the Gravel Teens are endorsing Jesse Ventura

I’ll entertain this because I’m sure mainstream media has already pumped this thought into people’s heads. You should always vote ethically. No exceptions. If DemoCRIPs and ReBLOODlicans aren’t up to your standards then why the hell are you voting them in? https://t.co/zNwigiVTHZ

I see his talent for sparkling wordplay remains.

rebloodlican isn't too bad

Ventura will always rule for suing Chris Kyle's widow and winning

rebloodlican isn't too bad

Good enough for Kendrick!

he's recycling his material from 2012 I see:

NEWS: Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is advising the Biden campaign on the economy, among others. Many progressives have made clear they are not fans of his. https://t.co/oBeda5cQ8G

larry summers? really?

really summers, larry

it’s ok. I’m sure he has some great ideas this time!

the biden cabinet is going to be a lot of c-listers and Obama second-admin retreads, and that’s going to be a billion times better than kush and mnuchin

I’d maybe spot you a million times better but a billion seems doubtful

Let’s meet in the middle then, like pragmatism

i'll raise you both 2 million

We should simply calculate the precise expected utility of each presidential candidate and vote that way

i will get right on that!

VORLC value over replacement level cabinet

has anyone made up an advanced sports stat called WinRAR

Uncle Joe TGZ

an M4A joke goes here

Obama hacks are only 6.4x better I think

but enough for a 4-year liberal nap

Here is an interview with Briahna Joy Gray. I'm not sure which parts I like best — the Baghdad Bob-esque "The primary's not over! Something could still happen to knock Biden out!" stuff, or the "I'm not saying (the thing I just said)" stuff. The whole thing is a joy, really. Sanders was so wise to pick her to represent him. She seems like a real coalition-builder.

ah yes former campaign press secretaries, famous for their coalition building (???)

If Biden is relying on Gray he may well run into problems with coalition building.
