It was fun watching the kiddie table debate between Klobo and Buttjudge, but come on. Let’s get on with it and decide whether it’s the commie or the republican wannabe.

Well said!

But you forgot to mention quid pro slow joe. Did you forget about him?

I never heard of the guy before now. But yeah, you’re right. That was a powerful, well-written piece.

I guess if a woman is horse-faced, then she isn’t a lesbian.

Any other advice, Liz?

Biden=Mondale. Even the democrats are too smart to nominate that.

Mike is a very arrogant billionaire.

Arrogance often pays.

Of course you’re right. Quid pro slow joe doesn’t even know where he is half the time. And the other half the time he doesn’t care.

Thanks for posting. Interesting article and thread. So Matt is pleading...give politics back to the parasites...er politicians. The unipartarians have done so much for the republic. Where have you gone extortionist Joe Bidenson? The politico class turns its lonely eyes to you.

> Heh, you mean some might object to nominating a former Republican mayor? <

A former Republican mayor who backed George W. Bush for president in 2004. Somebody (Bernie?) even brought that up at the last debate.

"How much does a man who radiates impatience with the idea of having to pretend to equal status with anyone have to spend to get someone to say something nice?"

Taibbi nailed Bloomberg's persona but good.

“The Bloomberg Myth Explodes on Live TV”

who says candidate debates are useless and don’t shed light on candidates’ capabilities?

Towards the end of the Republican debates in 2015-2016, i realized that the grossly biased, unfair, and misleading questions did indeed provide us with an amazing service: we got to see how the candidates would react and stand up to the pressure of such continued fake stream media attacks should they win the nomination, or even the Presidency ...

what we saw was that most folded up like cheap suits like most Pubs do when attacked by the fake stream media, but there was exactly one true champion up on those stages who not only did NOT whine, grovel, and apologize for being a conservative, but punched back even harder than he was being punched and then aggressively went on the attack, and that one true champion is our beloved Donald Trump ... we got to see the stuff that Donald Trump was made from, and that stuff was solid titanium ...

(btw, does anybody have a clue what Megan Kelley is up to these days now that she’s not being paid to be on television any more? You know, Megan the Media Whore who thought she was going to become an international media star for being the “journalist” who brought down Donald Trump ... “spending more time with her family”, perhaps?)

” just imagine when Trump offers him a box to stand on and asks him how it feels to have to spend $4 million per friend.”

i’m imagining that right now!

Rolling Stone, eh?

They’re likely in the tank for Bernie, so “rich guy” Bloomberg has got to go.

Matt Taibbi is an "honest liberal" if there is such a thing.

He is also, as we say in Boston, "wicked smaht."

Here is is talking for two hours with another liberal podcaster Joe Rogan. Great exchange.

Rogan & Taibbi

Bloomberg should start a market for MINI MIKE BIKES...three wheels, of course.

He should have a hat (NOT MAGA) that says: If you can see this, vote for mini-mike!

If one of this crowd is the nominee, they lose to Trump in November.

Maybe this can’t be said publicly, but that’s got to be the way any thinking people would see it, and the way the DNC should be looking at it.

Which segment of their wildly fragmented party do the Dems WANT to lose to Trump? At this point, I think the Dems have to be giving up all hope of a nominee who “energizes” and helps downticket.

They can reign in their wacky “base” or accelerate toward the cliff.

This all presupposes that this is not going to be Hillary’s last hurrah.

I’m actually hoping Bernie beats Bloomberg just so the scumbag RINO Never-Trumpers won’t have anyone to vote for. Maybe they’ll resurrect Egg McMuffin.
