Things I learned from the Dem Debate (1/14/20)
Joe Biden said that North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong un called him a rabid dog who should be beaten with a stick. Overnight polling of likely Dem voters after the debate shows Kim pulling ahead of John Delaney in Iowa.
Tom Steyer argues that only a billionaire can solve the problem of billionaires causing problems, which supposedly includes the problem of billionaires spending their billions to buy elections.
Pete Buttigieg thinks that restating every problem in a patronizing, 'gee whiz' lilt makes him sound profound and smart, so smart that we won't notice the 'noblesse oblige' stupidity of opposing free public college for all just to prevent a few kids born to wealthy parents from slipping outside their assigned class lane.
Someone really needs to tell Amy Klobuchar that claiming M4A will never pass because of opposition from DEMOCRATS is probably not the best look for the party.
Elizabeth Warren has an Aunt Bee, which is presumably why with every debate appearance she sounds more and more like Opey.
Four anonymous sources linked to the Warren campaign say that Bernie doesn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom. CNN has wall to wall coverage.

The word "Klobuchar"
sounds like one of these entities you'd see on the old Star Trek series, in which Captain Kirk goes downplanet with Spock and McCoy to confront the natives, who worship a god named Klobuchar (represented in much the same way that the Wizard of Oz was represented in the old movie with Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr.)
If she becomes President we can expect a booming voice to emanate from the White House: "Klobuchar has spoken!" I will put in a formal request to be beamed up to the Enterprise.

The paternal family
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Klobuchar
was originally from Slovenia.As senator, Klobuchar has been a reliable vote for Monsanto and GMO technology. Someone ought to ask her if the recent trials, in which Monsanto lost, have caused her to change her mind about that support.
I will say that Klobuchar looked good, to the extent that optics matter. I wish Warren would understand that skinny jeans and a T-shirt with too much décolletage, not to mention a rumpled jacket that badly needed ironing, is not a good look for a woman in her 70s, no matter how fashionably thin she might be. I am glad to see that none of this year's group of women candidates has gone all Klinton with the chunky jewelry.

Wait Klobuchar! Stop!
My Obamacare doesn't cover me off world!
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Liz has a plan for that
Isn't Klobuchar

HA-ha-ha-hahaha.
IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"
Sounds like restaurant equipment
Introducing the klobu-char 1990!
For that taste from the past.

Asking what would happen
to the employees of the insurance industry after M4A passes is like asking what would happen to the soldiers after peace breaks out worldwide if we bring our troops home.
We will retrain them for useful occupations.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
If we end the Spanish Inquisition...
I suspect that if a candidate suggested the bureaucrats who throw people into a paper maze from The Trial be left hanging by their thumbs, there would be a hearty round of cheers. But it would leave all those people who are employed for the purpose of carrying out the dictates of the bosses stuck between Scylla and Charybdis.

Meanwhile no word was said about
the many corporations that have been laying off thousands of people or how congress passed legislation that allows 300,000 foreigners to take American jobs.
As always it's the f'cking hypocrisy!
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Biden too
Meanwhile, what do Democratic voters think?
When the corporate Dems say "democrats" they don't mean working people.
They shouldn't even say Democrats.
They should say, the 1% Corporatists in their party will be against M4A. That is the reality!

Hey! I actually agree with rocket man on something!
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
Golly, Buttigieg has been planning
...his campaign for a really long time.
I could see him as a VP pick for Biden.

I especially like his campaign slogan:
"What, Me Worry?"
It really captures the American Centrist view.

Is there a picture of Tom sniffing the girl's hair?
I always thought he was a Biden man.
This really cracked me up:
