I’d put my money on AOC in either case. In heels.

I have never done the twitting, because there is nobody in the world I care enough about their opinions to want to know what they are thinking RIGHT NOW. And there are a metric fuckton of people I never ever want to hear from, and all of them seem to be twittlers. So, no.

My grandparents were civil service union folks. Granddad was at OSHA until the late ‘80s, grandmother was safety inspector at Treasury for the same period. I think she served as a union officer, but don’t quote me.

They gave me my work ethic, patriotism, and appreciation of worker protections - laws and unions both.

Barstool is the perfect name. Trump has always reminded me of the drunk dumb-shit at the end of the bar with a completely uninformed opinion about everything who just spouts out crap that makes no sense.

Have you ever listened to her podcast with Chuck Rosenberg? She's not really very ideological at all if she's being honest in that podcast. It could have gone either way - when she was first hired out of j-school. She interviewed with a Democrat and a Republican - the Republican hired her. And then she fell in with the Bush family.

Wonkwriters- why aren’t you in a union? I’m the UK we have the National Union of Journalists, and it doesn’t matter what publication you work for, you have union protection. Do you have a similar thing in the US?

Barstool started as a small paper in Boston, then scrapped the paper and went on line and moved to NYC. Portnoy has always been a piece of shit no matter his location...
