conventions, as this point, are largely symbolic affairs that are designed to promote the candidate and platform. it makes sense to push it back.

They should probably just cancel it and do pre-taped stuff or cut it to one night . Don’t need the spectacle of the Bernie people booing, the Clintons thinking they should get to talk, the Booker/Buttigieg/Beto/Klobuchars boring people, or Biden slogging his way through a live speech. Then again, maybe none of it matters as the last Republican convention included Trump and Lyin’ Ted staring each other down like pro wrestlers and Melania completely stealing Michelle’s speech.

I’d like to see them lean heavily on both Obamas to campaign they’re willing. Events with Barack and Biden together riffing back and forth would play more to Joe’s strengths.

This 4 year old article is pretty interesting, at least for me reflecting on my political journey. The more new information I find myself taking in, and reflecting on positions based on evidence, the more liberal I become. I wonder if I am simply following my enlarged anterior cingulate gyrus?

https://www.salon.com/2016/06/06/study_ ... s_partner/

"Basically the study showed that if you just based it on brain structural size difference, you could predict who would be a conservative and who would be a liberal with a frequency of 71.6 percent; 71.6 percent is a pretty high ability to predict who is a conservative and who is a liberal just from brain structure," Saltz said.

I suspect that this is one of the studies she's referencing:

Heard 5G signals shrink the amygdala. Verizon and ATT are in on it which explains the Clinton's stake in each company.

I think it's reasonable if he really CC'd 20 or 30 people. For his sake I hope he didn't leak it himself.

apparently he was continually ignored / disregarded. if that's the case 20-30 CC's is reasonable.

In a comment about governors: "What a lot of the voters are seeing now is that when you elect somebody...think about who will be a competent manager during the time of crisis."

Jared Kushner (unwittingly) really making a solid case for one of the many, many reasons why his father-in-law shouldn't be president.

My hatred for Jared Kushner is equal to my hatred for Donald Trump.

After a brief visit to Twitter I'm even more glad I started skipping the daily propaganda briefing.
