As I have foretold, whoever Joe picks, they are going to be attacked mercilessly by the right wing media and by the right's idiot ventriloquist dummies in the "objective" media. Nevertheless, here is my list in order of my level of excitement. 1 – Susan Rice 1 – Kamala Harris 1- Stacey Abrams 1 – Elizabeth Warren (four way tie for first) 2 through 98 - Anyone not named Clinton 99 – Gretchen Whitmer 1,997,931 – Amy Klobs Literally anybody but Klobs

(CNN)Belarus' main opposition candidate, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, has rejected preliminary election results giving the country's longtime President, Alexander Lukashenko, a landslide election victory with 80% of the vote. "I believe my own eyes, the majority was for us," Tikhanovskaya said in a news conference on Monday, according to multiple local media reports. "We do not recognize the election results. We have seen real protocols. We urge those who believe that their voice was stolen not to remain silent."
Be prepared.

The sickeningly inevitable media war on Biden’s VP pick.

Whoever he picks, the right wing media will go berserk, and the so-called objective media will "cover" that berzerk-itude by tsk-tsking Biden for making such a [insert adjective here: a) banal b) controversial] pick. It is as nauseating as it is predictable. I only hope that Team Biden is not dumb enough to try and short-circuit the sickeningly inevitable media war by making a "safe" choice. There is no safe choice. Just pick the best person.

Jesus Fucking Christ, Coons is the absolute worst.   In his recent appearance on Fox News Coons could not resist undermining the Dem's negotiating position:
