Trump

[Digby]

Trump pardons Blagojevich in a move that's just... weird.

A political consultant, Brennan Hart, from Trump's 2016 election campaign noted "He's not saying it's OK," referring to the president's attitude towards Blagojevich's offences. "He's saying, it's been long enough."

Tremendous news for all those in jail for utterly nonsensical reasons under the three strikes and out policy, I'm sure we'll see action soon, tomorrow even!

It appears that white collar crime does indeed pay.

Bloomberg makes an utter arse clown out of himself.

Could cost him $200 million to correct, he might even miss it.

[Sandydragon]

Its certainly helping Saunders have a real crack this time. His core vote is fairly solid and he must be gaining support as the pack leader at the moment.

Sadly, he probably has very little chance against Trump who will bang the anti-socialist drum very loudly and will influence many voters in the process.

Warren seems to be on the up and up now.

Finally, justice4Milken

And handled so deftly by Trump, not even a whiff of corruption

[Digby]

Actually tbf the crap around Milken for all it stinks is still small potatoes in just this last week. If it was a swamp before heaven knows what it is now

[Son of Mathonwy]

I love this tradition of presidential pardons. Hilarious for a country that claims to believe in justice.

And firing staff for speaking truth to power, it's the American way

Gwan Bernie

Only candidate not going to get bullied by trump, hopefully the Democrats don't fuck him over again

[Digby]

Why is Bernie the only candidate not going to be bullied by Trump? I think they're all much more aware than 2016 that Trump is going to be brash, lie loads and never worry about lying over and over

[paddy no 11]

Fair point - Warren has already been ridiculed by him and lost

Bloomberg also

Pete I don't know and that looks to be the field at this stage Biden appears spent

[morepork]

Bloomberg is an utter spunk basket. Fuck him and good riddance. Warren is really capable, but women scare septics as much as black men it seems.

If Warren has been ridiculed and lost hasn't Bernie also lost? What's the standard for standing up to Trump beyond just that some people like Bernie?

Warren was caught out on the Cherokee thing etc everytime he mentions pocahontas she is being shown up

You may be partially right that I just want Bernie to win but I think there's something to it too

If you think she was caught out rather than had just been noting her story as she knew it are you perhaps going with the Trump spin? And too who gives a shit about it anyway?

Her record on banking, on education and so on seems more relevant, though it's 2020 and perhaps I need to give up that last sliver of hope

Her recent attack on Bernie was poor form and again shows a lack of character/judgement

Or she was spot on and it's Bernie who has shown a lack of character. Lord knows who're we're supposed to judge it given the classic of a she said/he said situation. If they're simply not supposed to make attacks on other Democrats then fine but everyone has piled into Bloomberg at that last debate started by one B. Sanders

She needs to make an impact and you don’t do that by being shy. I don’t blame her for giving it one last roll of the dice.

She moves one way she's accused that she'll be bullied, she takes a more strident tone and is accused of poor judgement.

Seemingly Morepork has brought the culture of misogyny to the USA

[morepork]

Stock market first - public health second folks. Coronavirus is being used to by the deep state to discredit King Donnel's tremendous powerful economy. It is not true.....nothing to see....the virus is not here...it has been engineered by socialists...

[gransoporro]

Before, the Medal of Freedom recipient stated that the coronavirus is just the common cold and all the panic was artificially created by Trumps enemies.

You can consider good old Rush as the unofficial spokesperson of the president of the USA when listening.

Then wash your ears.

Twice.

What a thundercunt. This from a guy who dismissed the cancer risks of smoking and now has lung cancer.

Good fucking riddance.

The stock market has never had less to do with the economy, well it might have done, but not often. Also the economy has any number of structural problems that Trump doesn't understand, doesn't care about, or is too incompetent to address
