West Wing: Sorkin borrows Josh Malina's twitter.... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 21, 11:34 3
- related: if I'm a tv scheduler for any of the Max channels...I'd get the West Wing show running pronto -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 11:35 2
  - man fuck that asshole and his dumb fuck show -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:36 1
    - oh I just saw what he suggested earlier in the day. Ugh that was dumb. But I'd still program that show -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 11:39
Mayor Pete's statement -- (link) - Remlik Jul 21, 11:31 2
- Mark Hamill with a good one too -- (pic) - Trending Jul 21, 11:35 [Attachment]
- ...annnndddd -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 11:34
The first time I hear, "I would vote for a woman, just not THAT woman," my head may actually explode. -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 11:30 7
- 1000% -- nm - prayformojo Jul 21, 11:34
- Kamala so much more, “likable” than Hilary—Hilary is brilliant, etc but Kamala hasn’t had 20+ years of people dumping on her -- nm - Trending Jul 21, 11:33 4
  - lol trust me, the beltway press corp is up to that task -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:35 3
    - Oh yeah as I've said, the Perfect Candidate What Makes The Press Plays Fair doesn't exist and never will. - Reagen Jul 21, 11:37
    - Don’t have enough time to poison the well IMO— -- nm - Trending Jul 21, 11:36 1
      - prepare to be surprised -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:40
- presumably this gets Obama off the sidelines and out on the stump with her in the AA communities (unless he hates her guts as much as Biden’s) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:32
Pete B. for Veep. Fight me! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 21, 11:23 17
- Probably my top pick. -- nm - nubby Jul 21, 11:27
- Make it so. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 11:26
- Cooper or Shapiro if I had to guess right now -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:25 11
  - I think shapiro is a great choice but I worry that his jewishness hurts him with more conservative Dems, sadly. -- nm - amandaphone Jul 21, 11:36 1
    - I don’t think those granular factors will come into play. It’s still a choice between this or Trump - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:39
  - I think you need a rust belt person and Shapiro has the biggest state and the best approval rating so yeah. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 11:31 2
    - Shapiro makes sense. VPs don’t make a big difference but in a close election a small difference in PA could be enough. -- nm - Dano Jul 21, 11:36 1

- Sounds great -- nm - Pippy Jul 21, 11:24
still a long way to nov but Trump running for president because one black man won the WH only to then elect the first black woman would be hilarious -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:22 2
- On the flip side, we saw how they reacted to a black man running this country, how much worse is it going to be when a black woman wins? -- nm - znufrii Jul 21, 11:25 1
  - the same they would have if it was Hillary in 2016. fuck their feelings -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:26
Joe endorses Harris -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 11:17 1

  - the Michigan poll today was brutal, if you believe it. which effectively closes off his most viable path -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:14
  - They knew they were headed to disaster and nothing Biden was able to say/do in the last month was going to change that. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 21, 11:12
  - They in fact do not know what they are doing -- nm - Narrator Jul 21, 11:10

    - he just got too old too fast. no way to out-strategize Father Time -- nm* - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 11:13
  - "Know what they're doing." BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 21, 11:07
  - fucko will be too afraid of debating Kamala. He'll talk like he's going to, but a week before, he'll chicken out. It'll be so lame. -- nm - mud Jul 21, 11:07 6
    - Give Hillary another shot -- nm - eag Jul 21, 11:09 5
      - No. If they're saying Biden is to old so is she. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 11:13 3
        
        She's younger than Donald if she wins then you save Kamala or Gretch or Gavin or whoever for 28 - eag Jul 21, 11:18 2
        
        she's 76. not going to be her. now I'd offer her a cabinet post. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 11:19 1

      - The problem is multiple, we're 4 months out. if it's anyone but Kamala, they have to raise insane money in short time. - Remlik Jul 21, 11:16
      - Kamala didn't even make the primaries last time. That's how little she energized Democrats. She's done nothing as VP. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 11:10 4
        
        Women of color in America. That's all that needs to be said about this. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 21, 11:13 3

F1 makes no fucking sense to me. In the overall standings, Verstappen leads -- the 2nd place guy is Lando Norris. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:47 5
