The Democratic Primaries

the 2000 bust was the dotcom bubble... it's just not true that the effect of the 90's bubble ended here

the subprime mortgage crisis that eventually helped bring down the 2008 economy largely consisted of homes that were sold in the 90's... and many of the irresponsible trading practices that helped fuel the post-2000 bubble were basically made legal by the clinton administration in the late 90's when they eliminated the barrier between commercial and investment banks

I mention Clinton's neo liberal policies towards banking legislation that helped bring about sub prime mortgage crisis.

I had taken events into account, though I forgot about 911 & the dotcom bubble upon Bush's arrival, but both Presidents did have 8 years to turn things around, in which it looks like Obama may have.

GDP growth for the last quarter grew at 3.9%, good news for Biden...if he decides to run.

I don't really put much stock in the rise in employment. Most of it seems to be low-level and part-time bull****, like fast food and Walmart, rather than anything that might actually revitalize the American economy in any meaningful way.

Do Democrats want to sit at a table with ISIS? I wasn't under that impression. Assad, maybe, but Putin kind of has other options taken off the table in the UN. Iran, definitely, and Republicans hate that.

Clinton can suck my dick. She whipped out a bunch of political cliches and showed that she's the master of the non-sequitor while Sanders mostly said **** that was on topic.

I didn't really like Webb, either, ftr.

I loved how when Clinton was tackled on ANY issue she almost always began by saying "Let me say this..." and proceeded to avoid the question. Her defence against changing her stance on every single issue being "We learn, we adapt." Bleedin Borg queen!

read between the lines

"we learn, we adapt"???

she's a blatant shape-shifter and card carrying member of the reptilian illuminati

which also explains her difficulty in mastering the subtler aspects of human speech and intonation.

No, I told you: she's a Borg Queen!
ALL will be assimilated when she comes to power...
