Ouch! Betsy! Just stop!!! https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...rich-rhetoric-made-him-walk-out-of-her-speech
I know that everything about every candidate at this point needs to be prefaced with "it's early" but I dont see how Warren makes it from here. other than some hope for VP. She is wayyy down in the polls, and came out with a ballsy and stupid plan of not accepting money from large donors but to go with grassroots support. Admirable but stupid if all indications are that regular folk hate you. I am pronouncing her - not dead on arrival- but on a heart lung machine. You can't get there from where she is. Meanwhile, the old grumpy white guy, Bernie, rolling in the cash BIGTIME, mostly because he has worked for it and has a grassroots following. Pocahontas is not even on the same planet with Bernie. Yeh, white privilege is the reason. Whatever. Even her finance director doesnt think it will work so is leaving. She can always weasel around and try to renege on the promise to not take larger donations but there are two obvious problems with that 1) she is already known as a weasel so that would not help, and 2) I doubt that the larger donations are there to be had either. She is not headed anywhere. I dont know. Maybe I am just prejudiced against Cherokees. And no Tards. The debates are not going to help her- unless you think voters are suddenly going to warm up to having their 3rd grade teacher re-appear to lecture you about how you will never be a good citizen because you returned those library books two days late. She will start getting louder and more obnoxious to try to get some attention, and that's fine. Be all the more fun watching her take some beating on the way out. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattv...has-finance-director-has-jumped-ship-n2544089
Sen. Elizabeth Warren unveils a bill to make it easier to jail executives for company abuses https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/03/eli...ill-to-make-it-easier-to-jail-executives.html Sounds like Pocahontas is pandering to her audience again.
Speaking of genealogical bullshit, the other day Trump was speaking to a crowd at Elmendorff Air Force base in Anchorage, on his way back I guess from North Korea or something. So he starts bloviating about his connection to Alaska and his grandfather, and how he/Trump won big in Alaska in 2016, and that probably that was because some of the people there were even thinking about his grandfathers connection to Alaska and that got him some votes. Saying that his grandfather was in AK looking for gold. Okay fine so far, or not. Problem is I read up on the grandfather once in some articles and I dont have a recollection of his being in Alaska so my bullshit-o-meter went off a little but I did not hear the press jumping on him about it later so just shrugged. Sure- he was in British Columbia and the Yukon, which, I suppose is like Alaska if you live in Simi Valley or Tampa, except it isnt. If one of you guys who likes to be right about all sorts of minor things knows the answer just spout it out and I will stand informed. Otherwise. I am calling bullshit. Yet, I have to believe that the press that likes to jump on him for all sorts of insignificant stuff would have done so. What part of Alaska was he living in and mining for gold in. Yes, the road goes from Whitehorse to Alaska but it also goes to Key West, Florida if you want. That dog don't hunt. Keep in mind that Trump said that probably he got some votes in AK because people remembered that his grandfather had lived there. Sounds to me like something Pocahontis's Paw Paw might have told him.
Trump is pathological. There’s no doubt about it. However, you do make an interesting point in that he uses this stuff to ingratiate himself among certain populations and movements. No doubt that German nonsense is angled for the purists in his following but he also uses it as some sort of bona fides in dealing with the EU, like it makes any difference. This Yukon stuff is just another lie in a long list that will some day be cataloged by historians when they deconstruct this presidency to try to figure out what the hell happened and how we ended up with such an embarrassment for a president.
Fauxcahontas wants to pass a law clarifying that a sitting president can be indicted. Probably this will/would not pass or would be vetoed. Not to worry though. I am sure that if a dem president assumes office in 2021 they will go right to work to get that passed. I could be wrong.
