It is kinda unfair to let Bloomberg on the stage without earning the spot. It’s kinda of unfair to change the Superdelegate rule to hurt Bernie. It’s kind of unfair…..silly me, what was I thinking? We are talking about Democrats and the DNC here. They are the same bunch who shout for fairness the loudest and the least likely to embrace fairness themselves,lol.

The temporary swing away from the shampeachment (no doubt they’ll find some new thing to ‘vestigate) made me think about the Democratic primaries.
It really is a parade of political dwarves (no offense to Mr. Bloomberg), but I was considering the behind-the-scenes work going on at KAOS headquarters.
What are the odds that the DNC rams Biden into the slot (of course), but…, the VP job is offered to Ms. Clinton. She knows where the bodies are buried, is insanely ambitious (more so than usual for what is basically an ambitious profession), can bring in money and organization, and is sort of a member of a protected class. If successful, they’d have to double up the Secret Service guard for Biden, but it’s a clawback into a seat of power.

BillT on Bloomberg@8:27
That also makes a certain amount of sense. The Democratic party is a dollymop waiting to be bought this time around but it’s rare that the john isn’t simply an organization looking for a change in tax code or labor law. It’s hard to dissuade a rich guy on a mission doing it purely for the fun of being a power broker.
I have to root for the situation that’s the most fun, and I have to admit that a brokered convention, with an elderly jewish east coast communist as a clear front runner, sounds like drama aplenty. Elderly party apparatchiks vs young messianic extremists, what’s not to like?

I like their spirit.
“We are horrified and angered at the shocking damage already done to lives here and around the world by the Trump/Pence regime. We recognize that they are poised to do far worse, including threatening WAR, even nuclear war. Through an unrelenting barrage of daily outrages and twitter outbursts, the Trump/Pence regime is radically remaking society – step by step hammering into place a vicious American fascism. This is not insult or exaggeration, it is what they are doing.”
I mean, NUCLEAR WAR, that is what they are fighting against. Who can blame them?
By the bye, I ran into a job description for a place called Champlain College. Someone here might be interested in the gig.
“Champlain College invites applications for a full-time faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor in Interdisciplinary Studies to begin August 2020. We specifically welcome candidates with interdisciplinary teaching expertise in one or more of the following areas: postcolonial studies, decoloniality, critical race theory, queer of color critique, ethnic studies, indigenous and/or settler colonialism studies, disability studies, feminist theories, gender and sexuality studies, transnational studies, or composition and rhetoric with a specialization in any of the above areas. As we strive to create the most intellectually diverse, equitable, and inclusive institution that we can, we especially encourage candidates from historically underrepresented groups to apply. . .
Additionally, submit a separate statement describing your experience with and/or vision for mentoring underrepresented students, as this could contribute to Champlain’s diversity, equity and inclusion goals.”

In a ‘pre-acquital assault on Democracy’ Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said “The President’s behavior was shameful and wrong. His personal interests do not take precedence over those of this great nation.” Apparently Murkowski thinks shameful and wrong don’t matter when it comes to partisan politics great nation or not. She probably got promised more oil field jobs because, after all, fossil fuel pollution that effects climate is a hoax and she, as you, will probably be dead when the shit really hits the fan, so sticking to the republican politically correct policy of denial is more expedient to getting re-elected.

Energy Policy That Wins
“It’s obvious that fossil fuels and nuclear energy are not welcomed in the Democrat Party, as evidenced by the lineup of presidential candidates whose policies would stall the American economic engine, killing millions of jobs while massively increasing prices.
As Salena Zito and Brad Todd wrote in their book, The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics, those who are red-blooded and blue-collared are now the GOP — yes, it’s a Growing Opportunity Party. As the elections inch closer, expect effective reminders that Democrats view those who cling to their God and guns as “deplorable,” as well as disdain all who see the value in America being first in energy exploration and production. That might be called #Winning for conservatives.“

Well, it’s always best to carry on about things you’ll never see and can’t prove. Any old theory holds up in those circumstances.
The shit always hits the fan, but it’s only obvious after the fact. The world appears more brittle than it used to be, that pesky stack of technology combined with overpopulation for one thing, but I doubt I could guess correctly where the flaw really is.
With the possibilities of a nuclear exchange (see: Stanislav Petrov), bioweapons lab leaks, currency collapses, global warmingcooling causing the oceans to go up or down for the umpteenth time, near-earth objects, or the unguessed actual doom, it’s hard to get too excited about the Trumpocalypse. Unless your primary interest in life is the invasion of the First World by the Third or men using the women’s bathroom, it all sounds a bit overwrought to sweat the Rethuglicans.
