Many more to go....

.... Epstein and all his fellow pedophiles must be sweating bullets. Good.

Truth: "You hear that loud beep-beep sound? That's the sound of Sen. Kamala Harris backtracking..."

From the OP article:

"You hear that loud beep-beep sound? That’s the sound of Sen. Kamala Harris backtracking on her busing position after ethering Joe Biden on the issue during the first debate. Now Harris says busing should be a “local” issue, not necessarily a federal mandate, essentially parroting what the former vice president stumbled to explain in the debate. Not only is this a total cop-out, Harris’ vigorous attack on busing now looks more performative than principle. Her new housing plan for black families is a decent idea, and it might fix our credit scores. However, homes aren’t always the best wealth generator for low-income families, who are often burdened by upkeep and repairs.

Given the senator’s own actions during the housing crisis, who knows if a Harris administration would commit to the followup needed for all these new black homeowners anyway? Finally, Harris’ second-quarter fundraising was just abysmal. If you’re going to take all that Wall Street money, then you better get in their pockets. Harris only raised $12 million, $2 million of which was in the hours after the second debate. If it weren’t for her National Education Association speech and Essence Fest, Harris would’ve fallen even lower on our list."

That makes a lot of sense.

Obama HQ in Des Moines were happy about that last poll but we did not dare relax. Hoping against hope it was right.

Who funds this group? Russian operatives?

This is just the sort of divide-and-conquer play they did all through 2016.

Steyer hugely supported GOTV efforts during the 2018 midterms when no other donor on our side did.

Steyer is for impeachment and has championed a long list of progressive ideas by putting his money where his mouth is which marks him is a genuine liberal in my reckoning. To discount because of his wealth is as bigoted as disdaining a man for his poverty.

I like him. I am glad he is in the race.

Here's a recent interview in The Atlantic where he explains why he is running and details his liberal special interest efforts on many fronts: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/07/tom-steyer-explains-why-he-decided-run-president/593677/

Wow. Hayden is sending a very loud signal to the intelligence community and our allies.

This is a clear acknowledgment that Chump is a traitor and Russian asset.

Bernie said nothing wrong. Ageism is as wrong as sexism and racism.

Bernie is hardly privileged given he grew up a poor Jew in a small Brooklyn apartment.

Bernie is always fighting for working families and is an honest genuine guy.

Bold move by the mayor. Congratulations!

Um, because the OP states that.

Perhaps AOC is the one whose whining brought what happened to light.
