WAPO has characterized Biden's behavior as an
affectionate, physical style with women
Be cognizant that you now have to start referring to allegations by #MeToo and sexual predation by politicians, et al as just an "affectionate, physical style".
As in, 'Bill Clinton had an "affectionate, physical style" with interns and cigars', etc.
Behind a pay wall but here's the link
This is a sign of total regulatory failure and criminal cost-cutting by the airline industry. Throw some craptastic software in the design and then just let the public take their chances.

I had been ignoring the patently corporate campaign of nobody Pete Buttigieg - until I came across this definitive demolition of the man's fake persona. The article goes into immense detail, which I suppose is necessary to rebut the flood of corporate media puff pieces that are being cranked out.
To tell the truth, the alternate title of this essay is a lie. I always choose laughter, even if, as here, it may seem inappropriate: It's how I've always survived.
April 1 is the 91st day of the Gregorian Calendar year,
Prickle-Prickle, Chaos 4, 3185 YOLD (discordian),
And let us not forget 13.0.6.6.12 by the Mayan Long Count
It is also April Fools Day, a day of pranks and tricks.

Just a very quick update. The number of new donors Tulsi has gained in the last few days has been accelerating greatly each day. She has now recorded 57,292 unique donors of the 65,000 needed for her to be in the debates. That leaves only 7,708 new donors needed, or 176 new donors per day through May 14. No question she will reach that end goal now.
I’m still laughing but I shouldn’t be. Because this is embarrassing.
According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."

Neoliberalism "...is a regime of truth and value that construes all aspects of our world as business enterprises; even human beings are increasingly transformed into a kind of "human capital". In other words, under neoliberalism, we increasingly relate to ourselves as a resource in which we must invest in order to increase our value over time. In such a regime, only capital-enhancing subjects are worthy and only human capital that enhances the credit of the nation, now construed as a business enterprise, will thrive. This is precisely Trump's dream for America."
Trumpism is neoliberalism on steroids, and 2020 campaign financing to defeat it will be no different than previous elections, even if not expressed explicitly.
The financing of primary campaigns and the associated problem of media celebrity incumbency will remain a problem for 2020’s candidates. Even if “money is the mother’s milk of politics”, political engagement should not be seen as a function of small or large donations but a panoply of human participation like GOTV. In 2020 it will include voter suppression using geolocation. It’s always more than money.
...many veterans of Democratic fund-raising believe that the eventual nominee will have to marry a robust network of small-dollar online givers with a high-dollar fund-raising operation in order to both claim the nomination and defeat President Trump.
The news media tells us about all sorts of important stuff, like Russiagate and rich kids cheating into college, but not as much attention is given to far less important things, like how will the working class keep a roof over their heads?
