Not Col Sander's greatest fan, but I'm starting to think, he might be the emerging candidate.
This despite having a conversation with a genuine US born Bernie believer in my local coffee shop. He wanted me to get into his artist fold for only a 33% cut, informed me, that Kim Jong-un was part of the secret cultural revolution, that FBI had already arrested Hillary Clinton and asked me, what I knew about the nukes fired at Hawaii. He asked me for my contact information and I told him, I couldn't commit. When he left, he left me with a drawing, which I promptly discarded, but I have recreated for you all.
There were also lots of words scribbled on the backside, but I didn't dare to read it, because I'm not sure how infectious insanity is.

They couldn't turn this **** over to Mueller's team during the investigation for immunity?

Mueller wouldn’t have granted immunity to Assange. I recall an answer he gave during his congressional testimony, though I’m not sure what the exact question was.
Regarding the campaign’s involvement with Wikileaks, Mueller testified “problematic is an understatement” in response.
Assange would also have to admit things he continues to deny to this day. He has shown no indication of willingness to do so.

Florida will seek an en banc review of the ruling.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/el...ar-felons-vote-over-fines-fees-court-n1138736
Florida can't bar felons from vote over fines and fees, court rules
The state constitutional amendment was approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 to allow most felons who served their time to regain the right to vote.
Florida cannot, for now, bar felons who served their time from registering to vote simply because they have failed to pay all fines and fees stemming from their cases, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Tallahassee federal judge's preliminary injunction that a state law implementing Amendment 4 amounted to an unfair poll tax that would disenfranchise many of the released felons.
The state constitutional amendment was approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 to allow most felons who served their time to regain the right to vote. But the Republican-led Legislature soon after passed a law stipulating that they had to first pay any fines and fees before their sentences could be deemed complete under the law.
“We disagree with the ruling," said Helen Ferre, the chief spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. She said the state would immediately ask the entire 11th Circuit to reconsider the ruling.
Voting rights groups representing 17 plaintiffs sued federal court, seeking to overturn the law.
In its ruling Wednesday, the circuit court said the financial requirement "punishes those who cannot pay more harshly than those who can — and does so by continuing to deny them access to the ballot box."
The court added that previous U.S. Supreme Court rulings required it to “apply heightened scrutiny in asking whether the requirement violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as applied to these plaintiffs.”
The appeals court ruled that it does, and it affirmed the preliminary injunction issued last year by a federal district court judge in Tallahassee.

I just don't know how this country comes out of this era (not just looking at Trump's term(s) but 10-20 years beyond) unscathed. People don't realize how terrible all of this looks. Or maybe they do, and they just take part in the great American tradition of denial.
Funny how people believe Wikileaks but will fry you for quoting Wikipedea…
Confirmation bias is a B^%$#

The stop and frisk guy? The guy who was the mayor that oversaw and celebrates policing policies that covered a lot of the known NYPD racist murders of innocent black men from Amadou Diallo to Eric Garner etc? You can't be this easy.For starters a continuation of the Justice Department study of police departments nationwide and a revamp afterwards given the latest findings. The one that was started by the Obama Administration and stopped by the Trump Administration. For practices and unfair stops and sentences of black people....(or People Of Color asrolaholic would say).

while I'd of course prefer a candidate who is not racist, I'd rather have a racist president who is accountable to PoC and non-racists rather than a racist president who is accountable to white supremacists.
but we all know the worst case: a black president married to a white person. THANK GOD THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Bubba getting love in Da Heights, Ninja must be sick right now.
Bill looks so washed doe. Hillary still probably abusing that man. Bet when she goes to bed early, he grabs da Double Stuff Oreos out the pantry, pours himself a glass of Scotch, opens up an Incognito tab, and has himself a grand ole time. As soon as the light goes out in the bedroom, it is party time...

Regarding the Assange thing, let's not forget what a deplorable said about his fellow deplorables:

100% and I wouldn't expect anything less tbvh after they supported 45 overall over one of their own the last time in spite of all the documented history of sexism and misogyny
Good thing they're not exactly the main demographic that typically swings elections...

Birds of a feather...
That Brazilian neo-fascist swept his way to power on a similar strategy of overwhelming the airwaves and social media, buying up support of well known figures in entertainment and politics and touting himself as a 'realistic' alternative to a corrupt government.
No surprise the Bloomberg campaign wants him on the team

over one of their own running against him.. over the many of their own that warned them because what he had done to them.. over the couple of their own who were married to him.. over the video recording from the show where they’re the primary audience

Bloomberg is absolutely a Republican posing as a democrat to get on. Always felt someone should try the reverse but you'd probably have to compromise too much of yourself to get elected.

Like I said, if Joe got anything left in the tank he gotta tap into that tonight. We need a banger from him.
As soon as the moderators ask him their first question, just say "Ok now, thank you for the question. Before I answer I feel I need to address something regarding Mayor Bloomberg and the politicial ads he has been running regarding Barack....Mayor Bloomberg, first off, **** yo ***** and the clique you claim..."
