50 Tactical Nukes are sitting in Turkey

Evidently we cannot decide how or when to get them out of the country.

Sleep well.

I have an alternative on why all those positions are remaining unfilled

No one who can pass through a Senate confirmation hearing is willing to take them.

The GOP doesn't care about the Biden allegation

Literally could give not one damn. The President bought a teenage beauty pageant so he could walk into the dressing room.

Kavanaugh got confirmed despite credible evidence he attempted to rape someone.

Jim Jordan enabled someone assaulting his students.

No amount of us going overboard and over punishing people for minor personal infractions is going to get the GOP to change their behavior. They are still not going to care.

The far left is weaponizing this right now in an attempt to take Vice President Biden before he even declares but the right will weaponize it. The people on the Bernie side promoting this should be careful with the sexual harassment allegations from the 2016 campaign which will no doubt be brought up again if he was to become the nominee by both the media and the right.

The people who allege this both say it was not assault, sexual harassment, or malicious. I don't even know why we are having the conversation.

I also say this as a person who literally cringes when anyone touches me that I'm not very familiar with. Setting boundaries with people seems appropriate and not taking offense when someone is more friendly than you are as long as they don't take offense you don't like being touched seems to be the prescription here.

The campaign

Senator Harris is polling really well for this stage and she is raising money.

Based on the Vice President Biden stuff going on I think Senator Sanders is about to be on defense because it is rather transparent it originated from Senator Sanders campaign.

Hopefully while this is going on Senator Harris can use the opportunity to be positive and focus on Trump and garner more support.

Lest we forget about Donald Trump and College Records

Remember in 2012 when he was on Fox News demanding President Obama release his academic records.

Any Whovians here?

I found the series 4 years ago and have started to delve into classic Doctor novels and Big Finnish audio plays when I work out. Just love the character so much. Really taking a liking to the 7th doctor.

Here is what I wrote to a friend who campaigned for Bernie tonight in PA

She was for Hillary in 08 in PA and I was for Obama. I'm for Hillary now.

"You stood up for what you believe in. Fought hard. Be proud. I lost in April 08 as well."

Snark and internet wars aside. Be proud of yourself if you campaigned in any of the states tonight.

Voted for Hillary Today

Beautiful day for an election. Was very happy to finally get to cast my 1st vote for Hillary Clinton and her slate of delegates for the convention in Philly. Hope to cast my second vote in November.

Doesn't feel like the primary is that competitive in PA

I remember in 2008 there were yard signs everywhere and I had been visited by a canvasser by both campaigns and been phone banked at least once by both as well. The only yard signs out in my neighborhood is my Hillary sign.

Obama opened up 3 offices in the Lehigh Valley and Hillary had opened up 2. There were competing rallies with both candidates locally.

This year Bernie has one office and the closest they have come is Reading and Philly burbs.

The only visibility yard signs are for Kasich on the highway and those were put up by my congressman's people.

Just doesn't feel like there is an election on Tuesday that matters.
