In other news, Michael Avenatti was convicted of extorting Nike today. He's looking at some substantial prison time.

His representation of Stormy Daniels was one of the weirdest things I've seen. What kind of lawyer goes on CNN or MSNBC twice a day for months? Especially when his client had signed an NDA!

I had to google this for confirmation because it triggered my "too stupid to be true" alarm.

It is sadly not too stupid to be true. Extraordinary. And he is a representative from NY too!

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but guess who has taken a liking to Bloomberg?

Richard Spencer. Y'know, that neo nazi guy who got punched in the face?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQyFpjbU8AAF83g?format=jpg&name=small

Apparently he's seriously considering the possibility that Bloomberg might be more racist than Trump.

Bloomberg was actually pretty great on crime here, which is probably the #1 job of a mayor. If he didn't have such outwardly authoritarian tendencies and wasn't the poster boy of the nanny state, I might root for him to win the nomination!

She can run in 2024, because she would be 35 before inauguration despite being 34 for most of the campaign

Probably would not be the best move politically though.

By the way, have you seen the picture of AOC looking at Bernie at a rally?

https://i.imgur.com/DCp2dPs.png

I know it may sound silly to the more cynical of you but imagining those two in that hospital room in October, when everyone was counting Bernie out, only for AOC to tell him that she had chosen THAT moment to endorse him... still gets me misty eyed.

I think AOC is... maybe yeah literally the same as Bernie but with her age has a more nuanced understanding of the social connective tissue whereas Bernie just takes his lived experience of growing up poor and goes "fuck that no one should go through that." Bernie's a bit more to the point whereas AOC "gets" it more.

I don't know how the next 20 years will go down, but I think one of Bernie's most important lasting legacies will likely be the generation he inspired that will transform America even after he is gone. Fuck that quote about "Society is great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit under" I am donating again LET'S DO THIS.

with how much the US has been moving to the left in the past several years, i think it's entirely possible that the country is ready for AOC by the time she's able to run. socialism used to be pretty much non-existent in the US (lol nader). as bernie's popularity shows, that's changed quite a bit by now.

Bernie is popular because he's an honest politician, and hasn't fallen for third way center left politics. Not for socialism per se.

You are choosing to take it literal there when he undoubtedly doesn't mean it literally there, and it is just a quote.

He is saying when you go after the top dog, you better aim for the head.

Lol.

He is saying if you go after the President and fail, expect him to champion that victory and take the attempts at him to the campaign trail as a consequence of your failure.

Has nothing to do with he "didn't really mean it". You are saying a quote of a quote of a quote has to be taken literal when the person quoted initially hasn't even been alive in like 140 years. Lol.

The person he is quoting is applying the quote from the other person to the situation now. Trump tweeting the quote is simply him applying that quote to his own situation. It isn't him declaring himself a King lol.
