Politics Thread: Wear Your SPF and Don't Get Bernie'd

The White House recently asked the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for a list of all its employees at the federal government’s top pay scale who have worked there for 90 days or more.

Politik as the the Russians say.

I fixed Roman Quinn by offending him by comparing him to someone as loathsome to DeBlasio.

Good recent profiles I've read of a couple candidates.

Ignore the hysterical headline:

Tulsi Gabbard

Definitely both ambitious and meretricious, but likely you need those to get elected (it's the New Yorker, so you know it's long):

Kamala Harris

I would suspect that Don spend part of the day today on the golf course. Because you know, there's a tweet for that.

Regardless is very generic tweets are rolling out from his time in bedminster. Hate to break up that free time.

I have not sought out the El Paso shooters manifesto, but I heard it said that he absolved Trump. Because he had the "send them back" thoughts long before Trump said it out loud. I hope that is a fabrication. I hope that that is fake news.

God help us all if any politician whatsoever picks that thought process up as absolution.

This shit terrorizes me and I shouldn’t feel frightened to go fucking shopping on a Saturday or out to dinner.

Hopefully someone was there to roll him back over.

Earlier in the day at his go Mitch go rally, or whatever event he was having, the event was interrupted with the chant of Moscow Mitch, Moscow Mitch!

of course he doesn't understand where any of that comes from, because he's always done a great job and has always had a super high approval rating until he was the speaker, or so he says.

Yep, great day to hit the course today. Nothing going on that needs any attention Mr. President. I hope you hit'em straight, and brought it in low.

It is not confirmed that he golfed today. He has been at his clubs 216 time since being president. Obama golfed 305 times in 8 years. I am sure with very little work Trunp will beat Obama in that stat.

Of course Don has tweeted about how horrible Obama was golfing while the county is enduring a day of mourning gun violence.

No one can tell you how to feel, obviously, but there are dozens more likely ways you might die while out in public. We're all liable to be fucked at any time.

Alejandro Bedoya, the captain of pro soccer team Philadelphia Union, called on Congress to enact gun control legislation during a televised game Sunday.

After scoring a goal against D.C. United, Bedoya ran to a microphone on the field and shouted “Hey Congress do something now, end gun violence, let’s go,” before jumping back into the game.

That could go a zillion place, but here is as good as 'guns'.

Murdered while shopping for toilet paper should be 0% probability. It’s shitty that it’s not.

So can the “if more people carry guns, these shooters won’t be a big deal because anyone will be able to stop them” line be done now? The Dayton shooter was neutralized in 20-30 seconds and he had already killed 9 and wounded 27.
