The Goat Pen

Uh huh

Tick is STILL peddling ridiculous absurd nonsensical Russian conspiracy theories. Wow. That after the great paragon of virtue, the noble ex-Marine, the war hero, the guy with the sharpest crease in his Brooks Brothers pants, and all around stand up guy, Robert Mueller, disproved three years worth of that idiocy.

This proves yet again that definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but each time expecting a different result.

PS, if Bloomberg picks Hillary as his VP, and he wins, I’m starting a pool on how long until he “commits suicide.” I already bought the day after inauguration square.

In that case, I wish you were Mike Bloomberg...

I never thought Yang was that tall.

Pull your head out of Trump's ass. Bloomberg's people dropped that nugget at the same time the "redlining" video came out. A classic deflection move, the staple of the orange autocrat himself. Wake up.

Trump goes pardon crazy, proclaiming that he's the country's chief law enforcement officer (wrong - that would be the AG). Milken gets pardoned after his backer gave Donnie a $10 million donor dinner Saturday. Also a pardon to some obscure contractor named Pogue, whose family donated hundreds of thousands to the trump campaign. Drain the swamp.

So Trump claims he's 6'3", 239 lbs. (just one pound shy of being classified as obese, nah, I'm sure they didn't fudge that number to get him under the wire), so I'm guessing he's 6'1", 260 (at least) lbs. No doubt he wears "riser" inserts in his shoes these days. His 2012 license, where the applicant just gets to say how tall he is, lists him at 6'2", but I guess even that extra inch lie wasn't enough when he became president...

Trump’s old news. I’m all in for Bernie now.

My man has opened up a double digit national lead:

He’s way ahead in the next state, Nevada:

The Bern is running away with California:

I just hope the Dem Establishment doesn’t give some other candidate an automatic “superdelegate” lead over Bernie again.

FEEL THE BERN!!! BLOOMBERG IS A RUSSIAN SPY!!!

No way - NO WAY - Bernie the Socialist can win, and that's why right-wingers are chomping at the bit to see him get the nomination.

No comparison to 2015-16 when the crude reality show host maybe-billionaire was considered the longest of longshots though. That'd be crazy.

longest of the longshots?

he came in second at the Iowa caucus, 3 % points behind Cruz
he won New Hampshire by 20 % points, and he took 7 out of 10 states in Super Tuesday.

The comparisons to Bloomberg are premature to say the least

Sanders scares me more than Bloomberg.

all he is getting right now is the Anti-Bernie people - the Hillary holdovers.

Bernie absolutely has a shot to win, especially when he gets a chance to talk about the benefits of Medicare for all, and extending taxpayer paid public education to include universities.

There is an active revolt going on this country against the 1%'ers going back to the financial meltdown under Bush and democratic voters aren't about to accept one of them as their president, especially one with about 7 hours of soundbites from rationing soda sizes, predatory lending, and black/latino disparagement

Bloomberg flew in to Virginia to throw money and his weight behind gun control - a state controlled by Democrats.

-----------------

Democrats took over both houses of the Virginia Legislature in November thanks in large part to voter support for gun control after mass shootings. Or so they claimed. But if they believe that, they now have some explaining to do after Gov. Ralph Northam’s restrictive gun-control proposal was shelved Monday for lack of votes.

The bill had passed the state House, 51 to 48. But in the state Senate four Democrats joined every Republican on the Judiciary Committee to kill Mr. Northam’s so-called assault-weapons ban. The bill would have prohibited the sale of many semiautomatic firearms, as well as banned the possession of magazines holding more than 12 rounds.

The latter would have required tens of thousands of Virginians either to surrender their legally purchased magazines or face up to a year in prison. The Democratic rout of the Democratic bill is a rebuke to Mr. Northam, who has interpreted last year’s narrow takeover of the Legislature as a license to try to impose restrictive gun laws similar to those in New York and California.


The Virginia Legislature has waved through much of his gun agenda, including universal background checks, and a one-gun-per-month purchasing limit. But the voter backlash has been loud and swift, with more than 20,000 Virginia gun owners rallying last month at the state Capitol in Richmond. Ninety-one of Virginia’s 95 counties have also declared themselves to be “Second Amendment sanctuaries,” saying they won’t enforce state gun laws that violate the U.S. Constitution.

The committee vote refers the bill to the Virginia State Crime Commission for further study, and some Democrats are attempting to mollify gun-control activists by claiming they aren’t opposed to a ban as much as to the bill’s vague wording. The truth is that the dissenting Democrats are worried that a voter revolt on gun rights would cost their seats, and perhaps their two-seat majority in the state Senate.

The conventional media wisdom is that the politics of gun rights has moved left, and that bans are now possible even in swing states. Every one of the leading Democratic presidential candidates favors a ban on so-called assault rifles. But support for individual gun rights runs deep across the country. Voters rightly mistrust politicians who say they support “reasonable” gun laws while campaigning but then try to ban weapons or magazines once in power.

------------

when 95% of the counties in your state pass Gun Sanctuary resolutions, law enforcement says they won't enforce the law and the governor threatens to turn the National Guard on its own people because they refuse to give up guns they purchased legally - yea, I'd say a voter revolt is a real concern.

Lonshot to win the presidency. That's why dems wanted Trump to get the nomination. That's why he was on Morning Joe every other day during the primaries.

Trumpers are going easy on Bernie for the time being.

You know, its just soooo weird how sometimes its really kind hard to tell the difference between socialism and fascism.

What's going on with the Astros. I heard they cheated, first thing I thought was "well, they're from Houston, duh." Your thoughts?

I did see something where a pitcher who got called up , had an outing against the Astros where he got shelled, got sent back to the minors for that performance, never got another shot and ended up in Japan

The guy is suing the Astros for derailing his career. I would think he has a case.

I'm not a baseball guy as everyone knows, but what's the problem with picking off signals? I would think that's just part of the game, if you can't signal your pitcher in such a way as to not get the signal picked off, that's your problem...
