Open Thread | So, the Latest in Politics

Posted on February 5, 2020 by rikyrah

I already told you how I felt about the Iowa Caucus. So, count me among the delighted at the mess it has now become. Couldn’t help but be overjoyed. It is a mess, and they deserve every minute that they are tarred with unprofessional. The mess that it became overtook the announcements of the “winner’-Mayo Pete?!๐Ÿ˜’

Don’t ask me to get excited about someone polling at 0-2% with Black voters.๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’

Wasn’t going to say anything about Dolt45 and the State of the Union.

Dear certain Black People:
Stop allowing yourselves to be used as props for this racist Administration.๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ 

Leave it to Nancy Smash๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š

      Yeah, I don’t like what is going on right now.

      Iowa was most unfortunate with their technical problems. God knows we didn’t need that. But MSM effectively declared Pete the winner with 62 percent counted and that was the delegate count winner not the vote count winner.

      But okay, Iowa says it’s the delegate count that wins even though the delegate count is weighted more heavily in some precincts than others.

      Now that they’ve counted 99 percent it appears that Pete and Bernie have just a tenth of percent difference which is effectively a tie. But they are very reluctant to talk about Bernie so, as a result, Pete gets a BOUNCE going into New Hampshire. And Pete got that BOUNCE with only 62 percent counted.

      This better be the last year they do this in Iowa.

      And don’t even get me started on Bloomberg, the Stop and Frisk Benevolent billionaire.

      Maybe this will shake itself out and maybe it won’t. I don’t think the Democratic leadership would allow Bernie to be the nominee. I doubt they really want Pete either.

      I guess we’ll just have to wait for New Hampshire and Nevada. Biden will win South Carolina.

      I would advise Biden to stop attacking other candidates and stay focused on what he’s got to offer. Warren is doing that much better than he is, he should take notice.

    Oh God! Trump is STILL rambling nonsense. What in the ever loving fuck? It’s disturbing to listen to. This is insane. Something is wrong with him!

    But the media narrative is that Pete already won which gives him a bounce going into New Hampshire and Nevada.

    Nancy’s press conference today was so good. She ain’t holding back although she says she is.

    Indeed.

    Let’s not lose sight that one of the main reasons why our democracy is withering away is that there are two senators from each state. California gets two senators and so does Wyoming.

      They don’t want to live in a banana republic. They believe that the population control measures touted by the GOP will reverse demographic trends (deport all undocumented POC, do not allow any more POC to enter the country).

      The historical record is what it is.

      The Democrats did the best they could given they only control the House. All they could do is get the corruption on the record and they did.

      Historians will get this right.

      Glad and relieved about Sinema. Honestly, I expected her to vote for acquittal. She must want to be re-elected because if she voted for acquittal she would be done in Arizona. The Democrats would never support her again.

    #MittRomney Numbers 30:2 If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

      I realize that Mitt Romney just did what was right and doesn’t deserve a parade or anything like that.

      However, I think it is to his credit that he took the long view and told the GOP to go f**k itself. He does not want to be on the wrong side of history and lumped together with a despicable lot of traitors who violated their oath and put their slimy, corrupt political party ahead of the US Constitution and democracy.

      He did himself a huge favor, he will stand apart from the slime, he will be remembered. And he knows that.

    Because #RightMatters. Mitt Romney is honoring his Oath before God. This isn’t a game to him. He takes his Oath very seriously. Mitt Romney was emotional too.

      The first thing that popped into my mind when I read about Speaker Pelosi tearing up Trump’s speech on national TV was, “Where are the matches?”

      Yeah, we knew there would be problems with her but she ran against She-Devil Martha McSally and we had to support the lesser demon.

      Right now she just looks like one stupid bitch, she thinks this is how she holds on to her seat in Arizona.

        So Sinema ended up doing the right thing. And I’m sure it was hard for her because Trump has a lot of support in Arizona. But she did the right thing and deserves credit for that.
