Them's the breaks.

How is your throwing arm? It appears that there may be an opening for a QB in New England, and the job pays upwards of $20 mil.

Stupid science...

I prefer the possibility that they are looking for the door into summer.

And they were wrong in 2016 for the most part, and they are wrong now. Their thinking is "It's rigged if he loses, but it's right if he wins" and that's not rational or playing fair by any measure. Sanders NEEDS to tamp that shit down, or we are facing another 2016, especially if he loses.

No results from Iowa, but a satellite caucus in Palm Springs reports a winner: Amy Klobuchar

That's it. Next presidential election primary, California goes first. Iowa can't handle it.

Bernie was fanning the flames in 2016 and I'd go out on a limb and say he'll do the same again in 2020. just watch.

it wasn't just his supporters.

So I should blame Hillary for not controlling her people's tech firm screwing up the election software?

Twitter is a hive of scum and Nazi villainy in countries that don't have anti-Nazism laws.

... which is why some of us have pushed so hard for them in the States regardless of continued disdain and ridicule, because Dorsey has to watch his *ss in the countries that DO have them, lest he find himself in jail with the likes of the Aryan Brotherhood types who are also inside.

I'm REALLY curious how that line of reasoning gets there. If Hillary was the coder and the person pushing for this, then yes, but I highly doubt she's anywhere remotely involved in this, so yeah it's weird you brought her up.

Anybody who thinks this is not as much a propaganda war as anything else doesn't have their head on straight about any of it.

Of course, that's mostly "leadership" who wasn't at all willing to listen to messaging experts (an interesting percentage of them POC) who've been trying to tell them this this whole time.

The passive racism of denial on the left enables the violent racism and electoral interference on the right.

The Russians know it. That's why they keep trying it.

Democrats in denial - the white ones - should be embarrassed that the Russians know "us" better than we know ourselves.

Sherrilyn Ifill -- yes, the same lady who got stopped on the Amtrak recently and asked to move to the back like she wasn't the Lead Counsel for the NAACP (which she also is) - has been writing about this literally for years.

I'll keep saying it.

Too true. I get why places like Europe have those laws, but I also know thanks to the ACLU's precedent, that shit ain't flying here as much as it should.

Because you fault Sanders from not preventing some of his people for inventing reasons for the Iowa meltdown. So I logically asked, since Hillary's campaign people built the software that screwed the caucus, if it would be fair to fault her for them.

So you see, if we're going to apply your standard, then might as well apply it equally. But in fact, neither Sanders nor Clinton can be responsible for all their supporters actions.

It's not like the Iowa Republican Party didn't have issues in 2016. It took weeks to get their results out.... and Santorum won the caucus.

Except Sanders has a long history of letting his supporters and surrogates get out of hand, dox people, send death threats, and generally act shitty. Hillary isn't even remotely involved in this. Your standard and logic are bad, so you should feel bad.

I'll be damned if I'm going to designate ANYTHING about John Bolton 'heroic', but I certainly do appreciate the fact that Bolton's 'stache isn't stained with streaks of orange.
