A rare Democratic win/win situation: Mayor Pete vs Bernie

Today's headlines point to the fact that the race for the Democratic nomination is rapidly turning into a two person race. Mark the time: I'm calling it - Bernie v Mayor Pete. The good news is that both potential nominees are great. With Trump's numbers slumping, the only things that can trip Democrats up this year are zealots who cannot brook their candidate coming in second. In related news, Buttigieg expanded on his remarks yesterday. I don't think any honest Bernie supporter can take offense to this simple statement of fact below.

And, 2) The President didn't really commit crimes because he didn't have "criminal intent" to commit crimes. (Accidental crimes and crimes committed due to blundering ignorance don't count I guess.) Pretty weak stuff.

Kate Smith – Open Thread

Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" is a bullshit song. Woodie Guthrie answered the bullshit in real time by writing "This Land is Your Land" in response. So I'm never sad…
