(Let the games begin!): Clinton not ruling out running in 2020: report
Who knows if this is true or not but this might irritate some of the fifty other opportunists who are already out mugging in front of the camera, telling us all the reasons why THEY should be this coming elections answer to all our problems. As for us plebs, instead of dreading the coming 2-year campaign for the 2020 election, we should turn it into a game. Get some FUN out of the hysteria and hyperbole. Maybe like the drinking game. Or we could have a weekly contest for who told the most (or fewest if possible) whoppers in a week. Anyone who wanted in could ante in a dollar and the final kitty go to C99%. Or something.
Clinton not ruling out running in 2020: report
Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, reportedly has yet to rule out running for the Oval Office again in 2020.
CNN White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny said Sunday on CNN's "Inside Politics" that Clinton told people "as recently as this week" that she isn't "closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020."
"I'm told by three people that as recently as this week, she was telling people that look, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, she talked to several people, saying 'look, I'm not closing the doors to this,' " Zeleny said.
"It does not mean that there's a campaign-in-waiting, or a plan in the works," he continued.

UGH! The old “I'm told by three people” validation. Like “Anonymous sources tell us...” And we have 2 years of this crap in store.
But maybe we could get some entertainment value out of it. Lord knows, the cast of clowns gets bigger and bigger by the day so we have plenty to work with. And there’s going to be a shitload of petty feuding and one-upmanship going on, like in this instance. How is this gonna go over with the ‘Young Socialists’? Hell, what if the old Clinton-DNC band gets back together and tries to shut them out? The DNC is still run by Clintonistas. There’s one group who might support her. I think all our new ex-CIA reps would be thrilled to vote for the money grubbing old war whore. There’s gonna be pie-fights galore.We can run a new contest a week or month.
It’s just an idea.

Yeah, that’s more like it.

Failing? Nonsense.
I'm sure her friends at the Department of Homeland Security will help her out.
Unless, of course, Trump has friends at the DHS too. D'oh!

Somewhat OT
Markos is still an asshole
Looks to me like Kamala is Kos' candidate.
Went to his main twitter line, and looks to me like he is big on Harris. He is having a brainstorming meeting with dailykos staff. probably outlining an defense and promotion of Harris.
Should be a real wreck over there if
Biden, Harris, and Hillary are all in. Which neolib will Kos support?
Will Deoliver dump Harris for Hillary?

Which one? One with biggest wallet.
I thought all along that she would run again
and that she would wait for the others to blow their wads of money and fall out or just be inserted at the convention.
Okay guys. Never forget.
It's her turn still! Dammit
Her fans are waiting patiently for the most qualified candidate ever to run again.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
Aaaaaaaand here we go again...

Somebody totally needs to cover this with "Hillary" as the subject...
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
I've seen her light.
It's remarkably akin to looking at the sunset through a 1980s Los Angeles smog.
Nasty, smelly and unhealthful.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Snort!
Just happy that I wasn't taking a drink when I read this.

Yes, spewing onto the monitor
Totally ruins the premise of the drinking game.
More like a dim bulb. Everything she touches
goes to Hell.

It's truly amazing isn't how people see Her
Isn't this what Hillary did with people who donated?

Gag me with a maggot
Yea it's cute. Until the little shits do damage.
Don't get me wrong. Nothing bad about squirrels but never give them an inch.
Ever seen what they do to roadkill and dumpsters? Opportunistic, fast, long tailed rats.
Want some? Will ship for free. No guarantee on receiving live specimens.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Lmao! What on earth do squirrels do to road kill?
And no, I don't know what they do to dumpsters. I know they fuck with dogs. I've eaten squirrel stew before, because I live down by Louisiana.
What on earth do they do to roadkill? (I know opossums will eat roadkill, which is a good thing; same with buzzards, vultures and Mexican Eagles.)
Btw, Cajuns will stop and check out roadkill. If it's still warm, it's edible . . .
Mood killers :)
Come on guys it's just a cute vid of a squirrel robbing a dude on a bench and stuffing himself full of seeds.
In a world full of ickiness let's just enjoy something that lightens the day a bit.

Perhaps
I should have replaced the smiley face with a /s.
No harm was done to squirrels in this post.

I missed the snark, but it was funny, pricknick n/t
That's obviously a Russian ad to sway the 2020 election
That video proves you're a Russian bot! /s
It was cute, but before I could comment on it . . .
SQUIRREL!
May I recommend
a good cookbook?
Thanks, CB, but I have Cajuns ;) n/t
We protect them
in Brevard NC. Our white squirrels are highly prized by the locals and a source of wonder by tourists. There are number of other towns that have white squirrels, but Brevard is believed to have the highest concentration of them at about 40% of the total squirrel population.
Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?

Those are my some of my working assumptions also.
Donna Brazile in her book said that if Hillary could not continue because of illness in 2916, she would install Biden as the official candidate. Pretty telling.
Could the DNC not allow Bernie to run in the primaries? That could clear the deck for Hillary.
I could see also a large field going into the convention with no winner. Second round super delegates get to vote, and install Hillary to get a second chance at the White House even though she did not run in any primary.
Overall, the same slavish national and state democrats who cheated Bernie in 2016 are still in place.
Bernie can certainly beat Trump, but will he get out of the primaries?
But ... didn't Russia start that rumor of Her being sick?
So whenever someone says that Russia made that up we can refer to Donna's book. Or the videos of her being thrown into the van at the 9/11 celebration.
Boy it seems like we just got done with the primary and election and yet here we are again hashing out a new one. No way that they let Bernie win this time either. This is why Warren is running. She's supposed to be Bernie's clone because she's just like him. Right?
My bet is that Hillary will be installed and Kampala will be her VP. 4 years later guess who gets to be the president?

Probably not
and the msm would continue to treat him unfairly if he were nominated. That being said, his running in 2016 sure as hell changed the conversation and revealed to anyone that cares to look that the leadership of the Democratic party are corporatist shills. Issues he pushed are now mainstream and we would not have congresspersons like AOC or Tlaib if he had not run. Hillary was nominated but she certainly has lost control of the agenda. He can do good by running even if he doesn't win.
Loyalty oath
Didn’t they put a clause in the primary “reforms” that if someone wasn’t deemed significantly Democratic enough, they couldn’t run in the primaries? Of course, I can’t find it now, but I remember that seeming pretty explicitly designed to keep Sanders out.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
'Light itself?'
I should thank that person for illuminating so clearly how authoritarian this personality-driven politics is.

Some silicone sister
With a manager mister
Told me I got what it takes
She said
"I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
Play the song with the funky break"
I got a boulder on my shoulder and I'm feeling kinda older.
Unfortunately the fucking calliope won't crash to the ground.

Damn! Would someone please drive a stake
through her heart.
The country couldn't tolerate a Trump second term.
Maybe these rumors are designed
to make us relieved and grateful at the advent of Biden/Harris 2020.

The only thing worse than losing to Trump
would be losing to Trump twice!
Uh-huh
Where have we heard that before?
I'm sure she's already out (illegally) fund-raising for it.
Why won't she just GO THE FUCK away?
