Politics-What's on your mind?

I'm going to miss Chris Matthews. I think it was probably time for him to go, but the MSNBC primetime lineup is weak without him. He has character and personality. I disagreed with him on many important issues, but I liked his show. I like Lawrence O'Donnell, but he's weird as fuck. I get really tired of Rachel's historical ramblings and tendency to exaggerate. Chris Hayes is a sweetheart, but omg his show is like watching paint dry. I guess they could bring Al Sharpton back from the weekend or rehire Melissa Harris-Perry so the weekday lineup is not lily white. Just don't move the homophobe "my emails were hacked" Joy Reid back to prime time, please.

They might put Steve Karnacki into the slot. I like him, but I hope not. It would be another dull white boy.

Well, I will miss Chris. There's no replacing that kind of experience. He was a power broker himself when he worked for Tip O'Neill. He knows politics from the inside. In contrast, Brian Williams is just a slick network journalist. And talk about dull. Anyway, in spite if his anti-Bernie hysteria, Chris Matthews will really be missed. Damn.

“I think it’s rigged against Bernie,” Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for a campaign rally in North Carolina, adding that Sanders could still “pull through” and win the nomination.

He SO wants it to be Bernie he runs against!

His hope is to play the "socialist" card to the hilt! I mean he threw it into his state of the union speech to a resounding applause!

Until I see Trump hug, kiss, or even shake Xi Jingpin's hand without surgical gloves on, I wont believe a word either of these vile political demagogues say about controlling the spread of coronavirus.

Maybe Pence could be the "King's Taster"....Xi kisses Pence, if Pence doesn't die within 2 weeks, Pence kisses Trump.

Bloomberg says contested convention "only way I can win".

MIAMI (AP) — Mike Bloomberg acknowledged Tuesday he’s aiming for what some Democrats say would be the party’s worst nightmare: A contested convention. “It’s the only way I can win,” he told reporters during a campaign stop at one of his field offices in Miami.

Bloomberg has argued he’s the only candidate who can beat President Donald Trump in the general election.

BLOOMBERG THANKS SAMOA.

Bloomberg, in gratitude to Samoa, has announced he will buy it and make it the centrepiece of his financial and personal empire. He stopped short of announcing that he, personally, would move to Samoa but he did say that at least half of his Cabinet would be Samoans.

Mario Cuomo gave this keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 1984. I was living in NYC at the time and was a fan Cuomo. Despite the roar of applause, most Americans weren't interested in what Mario had to say. The "Masters of the Universe" were in charge telling us to be patient because "trickle-down effect" would soon be in action. <snort>

This is what's on my mind this morning.

It's about time these dems and reps put their dicks back in their pants and stop having these pissing contests at the American workers expense!

Thank you so much for finding this video of Mario Cuomo's speech from years ago. I was watching Andrew Cuomo's co-vid 19 briefings via YouTube and a couple days back, a news reporter referenced Mario Cuomo while asking the Governor of New York some vital questions about the on-going status of the crisis NYC and NY state is dealing with daily.

I sure do Appreciate you posting this video. Thanks.
