No 29th District Candidates Forum After Meghan Schroeder’s Scheduling Breakdown

It was better BEFORE 7:20PM, when she had failed to respond at all, but dems da breaks I guess.

Wait you have to run against a hot girl now?

No I have to run against a competent and engaging young woman.

Who happens to be hot.

Wait, so she's 32 years old and, "she started working for O’Neill as a volunteer and has worked for his office for the past 16 years as a legislative aide and district coordinator."

So she started working for him as a legislative aid and district coordinator when she was 16 years old?

something's not right, either with the story or with her bio. Get on that, Moz. She may be fudging her credentials.

she's pretty well-known locally to have done exactly what she's claiming, MB.

he can beat her on the merits.

A 32 year old republican woman eh. Seems fishy to me!

Obama endorsed 260 candidates... you might be surprised who was left off* the list... or maybe who made it GOOD LUCK Moz.

*there is a list out there that is supposed to shock, but I did not make it past the teaser.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE NUMBER 7!!!!

Jaworski? Why not?

Turtle is crying about Dem delays and proper order for SCJ? His hypocrisy is amazing.

Seriously. A reporter should ask him if the name Merrick Garland rings any bells.

Speaking of which, I was watching TRMS last night (though Joy Reid was sitting in) and Joy showed a chart of the final net favorability ratings of SC nominees from Gallup. RBG has the highest net at +39, followed by Roberts (+34), Thomas (+28) and Alito (+24). Sitting in fifth, ahead of Sotomayer, Gorsuch and Kagan is Merrick Garland at +23. And the dude never even got a hearing.

I was kidding about her making things up. I assumed it was a reporting error.

she held those positions when she was 16 years old? Wow, I was working at a grocery store when I was 16. Then did put me in charge of frozen food one summer though. I mean, it was hard keeping the ice cream stocked, you know.

Graham is going to burst a blood vessel in his tiny little heart at this rate. I imagine he's upset because Mueller is close to finding out that some of the bigwigs of the GOP were involved in the russia scandal. Like did you know that Graham received a huge donation in 2016 from one of the russian oligarchs? He wasn't even running that year. Now technically it's ok because the guy was a us citizen, but he got his money through typical Putin channels and is doing Putin's work here in the states.

but I digress. He's mostly acting this way because he's garbage.

So, what's the bad news?

Tale of two spins.

MSNBC - Nearly half of all voters do not support Kavanaugh

Fox - A majority of voters support Kavanaugh

FWIW - Fox is mathematically correct

Jason Kander drooped his bid to become KC Mayor to treat his PTSD/Depression.

Vox wants you to think that the Yale bar fight is important because it show a pattern of heavy drinking, but I want to insist that it is because there could be any amount of rage ginned up at a UB40 show.

Major Trump tax fraud story out in the NYT. No idea anymore if this will be a one-day story or something that lingers:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... e=Homepage

Eh...he'll just say that he was taking advantage of the system which makes him smart and the system was broken and he is fixing it.

(now I'll go and read the article)

see ya tomorrow

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/p ... trump.html

there's a TL;DR

It's pretty wild, Trump's dad was paying him on the payroll when he was 2 years old. $200,000 When Donald was 2 years old. Then when he was 8 he was a millionaire and his father had transferred ownership in at least one building. And he was also listed as a consultant making more money, at some point it rolls up to his father transferring over 400 million dollars to him. That's when the tax schemes really start to kick in, and that's what the rest of the article is built on. Basically new and inventive ways to defraud the government. In the end, it's all too late. Statue of limitations rotted into the Earth long ago.

A true self made man.
