I kinda think she's done after today's al-Assad drop.

She'll at least be one of the first out, IMHO.

Any politician who openly uses the phrase "Big pharma" is not presidential material frankly.

funny name (and not 'Obama-funny') and openly gay. doesn't have a prayer.

That depends.

If someone isn't really impressed with the entire group of "Washington" candidates, he is probably someone they might be interested in.

In sad news today, a reminder that the horror of school shootings will never cease for survivors.

This is horrifying.

Sydney Aiello, who survived the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last year, died by suicide this weekend. Her mother says she struggled with survivor's guilt and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

CNN: Dow falls 460 points as US recession indicator flashes red

Meanwhile, Trump's approval is doing fine, in spite of record deficits, a lackluster economy and the NZ terrorist naming him as an inspiration:

New USA Today/Suffolk U poll as him at 48 approve, 49 disapprove.

God damn America.

He'll kick his opponents in the Buttigieg and win the nomination.

It's pronounced BOOT-edge-edge.

To be fair, Boehner got elected multiple times.

That's a terrible name, too.

That's a **** poll, on par with Fox web polls The rest have him mid-40s at best.

That is still way too high.

It has a B+ rating at 538, which puts it on a level with Ipsos, Emerson College and well above Rasmussen.

The Mueller Report has been delivered to the AG.

Well, what do you know. The 5th time they claimed the report was imminent, it was actually true.

[ed2962]

there's money in it. that's why Trump and that pizza guy ran. they are also trying to push people closer to the center by attacking more progressive platforms.

I agree with this and I also find it troubling.

I should clarify that I find their motives troubling, not that we agree.

First 2 official comments on the Mueller Report:

"I'm reviewing the report and anticipate that I may be in a position to advise you of the special counsel's principal conclusions as soon as this weekend. We shall be meeting with the Special Councel and the Deputy Attorney General to determine what other information from the report can be released to Congress and the public consistent with the law. It's a comprehensive report. This will needs more eyes on it." -- Barr

"The next steps are up to Attorney General Barr, and we look forward to the process taking its course. The White House has not received or been briefed on the Special Counsel’s report." -- Huckabee-Sanders

[PaulBullion]

Apparently no further indictments suggested in Mueller reports.

Junior can breathe easily.

We'll see.

It's not like the current administration has lied or anything.
