Why is Cooper giving time to a crook?

"I am a political prisoner," former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich tells @AndersonCooper, adding "if you were to ask Nelson Mandela whether he thought the process was fair back in the early '60's in South Africa, he would say what I'm saying today." https://t.co/bTlyAqZmL6 pic.twitter.com/Z5ypvNiHAO

1. This is a fun account and people who actually interacted with Nixon like it.

2. This is true.

Tweets aren't loading on my device: is this a general statement, or a specific reference toBret Stephens' most recent column in the NYT, which is about how he won't vote Democratic if their nominee isn't Republican enough?

 

Nelson Mendala was jailed because exploited power of his position? Man, South Africa has been seriously misrepresented in history!

 

Wait, did he actually write that? I tune out Bret Stephens but this wouldn't surprise me.

If so, it most likely is. But given the dislike to Sanders, it can be general.

 

Major changes ahead. Guy who was a health executive is tweeting this.

I will not be surprised if the days of corporations and CEOs being the prize horse come to an end if Sanders is elected.

Tonight’s results in Nevada confirm something momentous that would have shocked me when I worked as a health insurance executive: Medicare for All is hugely popular & the winning position for Democrats. Between Iowa, New Hampshire and now Nevada, this is a fact. Here’s why: (1/5)

Stephens yesterday:

I’ve been enthusiastic about Mike Bloomberg’s race for presidentfrom its inception, partly on the theory that he was best positioned to rescue and represent the Democratic Party’s moderate wing. After Wednesday night’s debate debacle in Las Vegas, I’m starting to fear his candidacy might inadvertently destroy that wing — while wrecking the party’s chances in November.​

​

and my favorite

Alternatively — a darker thought — maybe Democrats aren’t being entirely honest with themselves when they claim their first priority is to end Trump’s presidency as soon as possible. There’s a certain self-righteous pleasure in hating Trump, as well as an entire cottage industry devoted to indulging that hatred, which would mostly vanish the moment he left office.

What’s more, the far-left that Sanders represents has always been at least as interested in wielding ideological power within the institutions that matter most to it — academia, journalism, labor unions, the Democratic Party — as it has been in wielding political power beyond those institutions. If Sanders were to win the nomination and lose the election, many of his supporters might call the result a wash, even a modest victory. The struggle always continues.​

​

Oh, wait, he might not be excessively wrong on that one.

 

Oh god.

That tweet was in response to a general question, asking what the Democratic establishment should be doing. Now, I'm sure the guy writing as Nixon will have also seen that column.

 

Hope so.

 

Blago’s pardon was priced right...

Good thread:

And if you're worried about his economic agenda, what's your concern, exactly? That he'll run budget deficits? Trump is doing that already — and the economic effects have been positive 3/

To be honest, a Sanders administration would probably leave center-left policy wonks like me out in the cold, at least initially. But this is no time for self-indulgence and ego trips. Freedom is on the line 5/

They’re so open with it now. There’s “No Fear” whatcha gonna do, impeach me?

 

Trump running on draining the swamp has gotta be the most ridiculous Presidential political effort that was ever successful.

 

This election is about vote for the Democratic nominee to preserve democracy, or don't. There isn't a third option.

 

Pretty much. Any other year, that’s fine, considering the circumstances, we have a 3 star meal or a turd sandwich.

Standards at Skynet and Omni have really fallen.

this is very embarrassing but an AI i trained on 100,000 hours of inspirational speeches has escaped, possibly into a human host. it doesnt actually understand language but can mimic the cadence and rhythm very convincingly. please let me know if youve seen it

Well, the GOP position will be it's okay to destroy democracy to save it from socialism.

 

People are concerned about higher taxes. Because the ones paying taxes are seeing it given to the 1 percenters.
It’s this reverse RobinHood thing. Take from the “poor” or working class and give to Trump supporters.

it’s a plot to stop people thinking about caged kids.

 

I wish that were a joke.

 

LMAO!! 😂😂 No one can troll Trump like @VicenteFoxQue!!
He goes straight for the jugular! pic.twitter.com/fwWT3HyEzS

physician, health thyself

President @realDonaldTrump’s Administration is COMMITTED to helping Americans struggling with mental illness.

The President’s new budget proposes closing a crucial loophole which would IMPROVE care for the seriously mentally ill.https://t.co/nKcZgdShn4

So basically Sanders will be forced to pivot to the center, and democrats in congress will be willing to control him.

I have heard something similar before.




But he is right, Sanders is 1,000 times better than Trump, so even if there are fears about Sanders, when he becomes the nominee, democrats need to fall in line and support him.



We will have to sink or swim with Sanders this November.
