He also wants a full blown convention with 50k delegates in an arena. Are all the Republican delegates stupid enough to attend? Especially since Arizona and Texas are potential hosts?

Can't let China win

You've said this before but it is still unclear how you think he did this. If anything his candidacy gave Warren's faded campaign a glimmer of light.

"Bloomberg only cared about stopping Warren and Sanders"


last I checked neither are in the race. he cared about this tax rates. i never said in the above post that he was the one that singlehandedly drove them out of the race. i said he cared the most about stopping them.

so he's fine with whatever the result of the rest of the race is. neither president is going to impact his bottom line much. why spend money on it?

But Warren was already done before he entered the race.

An outside counsel appointed to review the Justice Department's decision to drop prosecution of former national security adviser Michael Flynn concluded the case against Flynn should continue. John Gleeson, a former federal judge asked by Judge Emmet Sullivan who is currently overseeing the Flynn case, also accused the department of abuse of power in seeking to drop the charges.

“As Mike has said, he supports Vice President Biden in defeating Donald Trump. We’re currently looking at how to best support Vice President Biden as well as Democratic victories up and down the ballot in November, just as Mike Bloomberg has done in previous cycles,” a Bloomberg spokesperson told CNBC.

Though it’s unclear how much Bloomberg will eventually spend, some of the people familiar with the matter noted that they anticipate Bloomberg to end up spending in excess of $250 million to support Biden, the apparent Democratic nominee. Any major financial support from Bloomberg backing Biden does not include what he could put toward assisting congressional Democrats. After dropping out of the Democratic primary for president in March, Bloomberg endorsed Biden and later announced his campaign would transfer $18 million to the DNC.

Definitely Stephen Miller's idea. Major dog whistle.

I did not look at the date when I saw this. It was more of an 'of course' reaction to him having an event. Now it is an OF COURSE HE IS HAVING A RALLY THAT DAY.

Know this, he wants out of DC that day as Juneteenth is always a celebration and this year it is targeted as a planned protest day.

Politico headline: ‘He has to get back to his life’: Trump looks past crises to resume his routine

For the first time in months, Trump is lining up in-person fundraisers, trips to his luxury resort in New Jersey and campaign rallies.

A pressure campaign would have Trump dropping provably false, demeaning, and flat out ridiculous ads left and right. It could be the kind of haymaker that would cement Biden as the choice in November.

November can't come soon enough...I'm going to gag hearing about all his stupid rallies...

At the Trump Administration’s request, Congress passed emergency funding legislation last year to help address the humanitarian crisis at the border largely created by this Administration and consistently made worse with repeated politically charged, anti-immigrant policies,” Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement.

"Instead of helping migrants and improving conditions on the ground, CBP then broke the law by spending this taxpayer money on things that were not authorized—such as ATVs, dirt bikes, and computer systems,” he added.
