Also, Venezuela is a model of socialism we should emulate. Also, let all the prisoners vote. Also, well, you get the idea.

Hey Bernie, it's been an oligarchy since 1929, a legislative oligarchy, when you assholes stopped growth of representation in the US House
330,000,000/50,000 = 6,600 members of the US House, not 435.
Article the first. .... After the first
enumeration required by the first Article of the Constitution, there
shall be one Representative for every thirty thousand, until the number
shall amount to one hundred, after which, the proportion shall be so
regulated by Congress, that there shall be not less than one hundred
Representatives, nor less than one Representative for every forty
thousand persons, until the number of Representatives shall amount to
two hundred, after which the proportion shall be so regulated by
Congress, that there shall not be less than two hundred Representatives,
nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons.
Slate's Jordan Weissmann is scared of Joe Biden's propensity to flirt with cutting entitlements like Social Security and Medicare
[O]ur ex-VP has talked extensively about his desire to return to an era of bipartisan cooperation. And whether we’re talking about Social Security or another major program, the budget is one area in which those instincts are truly scary.

CNN orchestrates woman-hater smear of Bernie on behalf of Pocahonky, then releases poll showing Bernie in the lead
Ass-covering, pure and simple.
In all the polling compiled by Real Clear Politics, Bernie has polled in the lead only one other time, in April 2019 in a tiny Emerson poll, where he was +5.
Previously CNN polling has shown Joe Biden consistently and decisively leading, by an average of +12.6 across eleven polls.
CNN polls have also been consistently tiny surveys of registered voters, not likely voters. A very large likely voter poll recently by Morning Consult shows Biden ahead nationally for the Democrat nomination by +5.

Club for Growth and Freedom Works both stop funding Justin Amash, so he'll just have to tap the family Chinese tool company fortune made on the backs of America's downward-spiraling middle class
Story here, whose author has probably never once in his life seriously thought about trimming legislative power overreach.
Matt Taibbi: Bernie Sanders "poised to receive the same kind of bump Trump got in 2016 from media stupidity"
Here in Rolling Stone.
I don't think so.
Biden's lead today over Sanders is 8 points, higher than it was in March 2019 when Sanders peaked at 24.0 in the polls. Sanders is at 20.4 now.
No one has been able to dirty up Biden enough to bring him down. Meanwhile both Bernie and Warren have brought themselves down by their own radicalism.
And now the revenge of Nancy Pelosi's impeachment will sideline the radicals for a while, just as Iowa prepares to vote.
The radicals' only hope is a quick trial from Cocaine Mitch.
Everyone on the Democrat side who wants to drag out this impeachment is on the side of sidelining the radicals.

World's second best kept secret: Joe Biden once had a big problem with stuttering
Could partly explain some of his verbal gaffes, but honestly, nobody but a nincompoop says "JOBS" is a three letter word.
CNN Business is stupid: "Women now hold more jobs than men"
Here's the lede:
Women held slightly more jobs than men in December — the first time that's happened in nearly a decade.
That's based on the Establishment Survey, which undercounts civilian employment by the millions.

Oops, GAO charge that Trump OMB violated 1974 Impoundment Control Act is hogwash
But concerning the withholding of funds, there is no potential crime
here either. There is a process in place to sort out any disagreement
between Congress and the president on such a matter. Section 683 of the
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 states that “whenever the President
determines ... that such budget authority should be rescinded … [or]
reserved from obligation for such fiscal year, the President shall
transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message” to that effect
with an explanation. The Congress then has 45 calendar days to concur,
or the funds are to be “made available for obligation” and “may not be
proposed for rescission again.”
Although Section 684 calls for a special message if the
funds are to be deferred within the fiscal year, this special message
does not force Congress to concur.
The lack of a special message from Trump for either section
is not an impeachable offense. First, the president clearly had not
made a conclusive decision that he wanted to propose the funds should be
“rescinded” or “reserved from obligation.” Neither Trump nor his
Democratic critics disagree that he was awaiting further information
before deciding whether or not he wanted the funds conclusively
rescinded. All he had done as of this summer was to withhold the funds temporarily. Therefore, it would have been premature for Congress to receive a proposal from him to rescind the funds.

Breaking: Pelosi delayed the impeachment waiting on her commemorative embossed souvenir pen order bearing her signature
The choreography is so over the top for the somber occasion, too, designed doubtlessly to mock Trump.
Speaking of carving out new states of the union, Virginia looks set to divide again, over guns, giving us West Virginia, Virginia, and South Virginia
Maybe what's left of Virginia will call itself Northern Virginia, but probably not. Might remind people of the Army of Northern Virginia, Robert E. Lee, minstrel shows in blackface, Gov. Ralph Northam, you know, that kind of thing.
I'm confused: How can the world be ending in 11 years when Obama stopped the rise of the oceans in 2008?
I mean, he just bought a house on an island, amirite?
