The fix is in, again –
The announcement drew heavy criticism on social media, with several users accusing the DNC of shutting Gabbard out of the race.
“God forbid Tulsi gets back on the debate, right?” one asked.
“Funny how you waited, then, to make this change until after Tulsi earned a delegate,” another observed. “I’m not sure which I hate more, the DNC for this continued primary/debate rigging, or the voters who will just be good little sheep and vote for your corrupt party anyway.”
Another called the move “utterly corrupt,” and another mused, “Translation: We have to do everything we can do keep Tulsi off the debate stage.”
Gabbard has battled the Democrat establishment over the course of her presidential bid. She told reporters in January that CNN never gave her an explanation as to why it excluded her from its series of town halls with Democrat candidates — candidates including Deval Patrick, whose performance fell below Gabbard’s in the national polls.

The DNC is suppressing its own voters for November –
The Democrat establishment appears to be rallying behind Biden.
Citing long lines, voting machine issues, and reports of Sanders appearing on the second page of some ballots, Democrat voters across the country, mainly supporters of the socialist senator, suggested that the DNC was manipulating the election against the Vermont lawmaker.
Sen. Sanders himself has blasted the DNC for taking measures that benefit his rivals.
“The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN,” Trump said on Twitter on Wednesday, echoing comments he has made in the recent past.
In 2016, many of Sanders’s supporters accused the DNC of stealing the Democrat party’s presidential nomination from Sanders and giving it to Hilary Clinton, who lost to Trump.
Former DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile also indicated that the Democrat party rigged the election in favor of Clinton.

Well, I looked at a headline by media Critic Howard Kurtz blasting fools for saying put a fork in Biden. Opps, I indeed called Biden toast. I was merely premature.
Foolish error. I should have known better. When that apparatus kicks it into turbo, mountains are moved. Did I say apparatus? I meant apparatchik. There, much more accurate.
Amy, Peter, and Tom on a coordinated pull out right before Super Tuesday with Bloomberg three days later, all supporting Biden and a sea change in media cheerleading. No more talk of Medicare For All or that silly New Green Deal. Nope, it’s three cheers for Biden now. I bet Michael Moore’s blood vessels on his temples are exploding. BTW, saw a recent pic of Rosie the Pig, but I was wrong! It’s wasn’t O’Donnell, it was Michael Moore. I had to do a double take, lol. They have both seen better days.
All the big donor boyz, politicians, mega corporate types, the whole shebang, the whole apparatchik made a decision. They choose Biden. It is the same Industrial Political Media Complex. And, when you ponder upon The Industrial Clinton Complex was bigger than the DNC and included kings, oligarchs, and the highest (and lowest members) of the bureaucracy and Deep State),……well, it just amazes me that one man and his Twitter machine is still standing. Heck, he ain’t simply still standing, he is on the move and smoking them rats out. He is not human.
All that to say is thank your lucky stars they went safe and with Joe Biden. Now we can start talking about his mental health. Diminished capacity…if there was much of a capacity to start with.
No matter how they package Joe and rewrite his record and bio, it’s still ole Joe for Trump to slap around. Good news. And Joe wants your guns….putting Beto in charge. Get woke, go broke.

So George this comment by Trump should pretty well finish him off. Unbelieveable that the POTUS would say this in direct contradiction to ALL medical advice.
“So you can’t put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu and/or virus,” Trump continued. “So you just can’t do that. So, if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work. Some of them go to work, but they get better.”

PaulE 1040am – Yes, another occasion to celebrate the demise of Trump – how many of those have we had now? But to the joy of your point. If you listen carefully to what Trump actually said, there is nothing outlandish about it. To begin, he never told people diagnosed with the coronavirus to go to work – that’s liberal bullshit. But he did correctly characterize the preponderance of how prediagnosed flus and the coronavirus behave in the aggregate. Every year since time immemorial the overwhelming fraction of people, those who have had such viral infections asymptomatically or with low level symptoms, have gone on with their routines and recovered. The President’s words addressed this well-known effect, and was meant to quiet unreasonable fears of low probability events. Of course Trump haters see everything of this sort as one more opportunity to attack and harm, regardless how such beratings affect the less-read population (here concerned about the spread of the coronavirus). Politics über alles!

Restaurants are expensive, though. Anyway, Punchy sat on the Guerrilla Street Artist work for ten days before he exploded over here. “We must stop the racism, George!” “The Nazis are marching down the street just like in they did in Skokie, Illinois!” I heard about a Hitler B-Day Party years ago in GV and there was a Nazi flag flying on a house in Nevada City two decades ago! I am not reassured!!!
What made him think Nazis used the endearing term, ‘Stink Asses’? I don’t see the connection.
Anyway, that’s the 2nd time (in a row) for Punchy bitching that the President is not reassuring him and addressing his fears.

PaulE 116pm – You and yours are embellishing Trump’s words. He did NOT say people “exhibiting symptoms of coronavirus such as a fever, coughing, and/or shortness of breath” should go to work and public places. There are many levels of feeling a bit under the weather that are below those symptoms, symptoms we all have from time to time, and with which we go on with our daily round and then feel fine. Trump’s words clearly meant – to me and mine – that if today you have such minor discomforts, then don’t blow them out of proportion and immediately think you got the coronavirus (or flu) – that is a very low probability event. React to your feelings with the same prudence today as you would have always reacted were not the coronavirus in the news. If your symptoms get worse, then again, treat them as you would have in the past, which may include seeing your doctor. For some reason, I don’t think you get any of this.

I remember a workoholic co-worker, a technician, in the mid ’80’s. I had a private office and a computer that one day, he needed to use. To program a bunch of PAL and PROM chips. No problem, come on in.
After about an hour I mentioned he didn’t sound very good… coughing, blowing his nose. That’s when he fessed up that he also had a fever and felt like crap… but he had too much work to do.
So did I but I took off a week from work as a result of coming down with a bad case of the flu that he gave me. I suspect my boss thought I was a slacker… the kind of boss that had the department secretary call up people who had taken a sick day to see if they were really home and sick.
