"I’m a big fan of Sen. Harris, and I work with her. But she’s brand-new here, so it takes a little bit of time to get to know somebody."

Said Dianne Feinstein, endorsing Biden (L.A. Times):
“He has the experience, the drive, he was chairman of [the Senate Judiciary Committee] when I came” to the Senate, Feinstein said Thursday. “I worked with him closely on a number of different things. I have a great respect for his integrity as well as his ability. And I think experience is really important at this particular point, where our world is today.”
That's a very bland endorsement, based entirely and openly on the length of her personal relationship.

She destroyed and integrity she had left at the Kavanaugh hearing.

Is Feinstein seriously going down the the "experience" road again?

Clinton was the most experienced candidate in history, remember? What is Biden? The second-most experienced?

How about in 2024 they exhume FDR's body and nominate his corpse?

In 2000 the Democrats lost running the most experienced Democrat.
In 2004 the Democrats lost running the most experienced Democrat.
In 2008 the Democrats achieved stunning success running a charismatic newcomer.
In 2016 the Democrats lost running the most experienced Democrat.

What is wrong with this party?

Translation: He's old, very old. When I got here, he'd already been here as long as I have now.

One of the things that has amazed me for decades is how people can think a VP or former VP can be a presidential candidate.

Feinstein is a long-time professional politician and even she does not see it.

Bush and Nixon and then you have to go back 180 years to find another.

Bush, Nixon, Van Buren. Hardly a pantheon of greats.

Ditto ford, lbj, truman, tr, arthur, johnson and others (coolidge is an exception)

This is in addition to the fact thatJoe Biden is Joe Biden.

The charismatic newcomer gutted the party.

It’s interesting to see which physical characteristics coloured girls carry from each parent. In Harris’s case back nipples and straight pubic hair, is my guess. Any carry forward, other than the eyes, from the Caucasian parent is a disappointment though.

The average penis is a lot longer than the average vagina, so unless you're into cervix jostling, circumference would seem be the important feature.

New research on the internal extent of the clitoris indicates that depth and breadth are important stimulation factors, from the woman's retrospective.

stevew म्हणाले...

My first reaction to this is why now? But then I realize that the field of POTUS candidates, particularly for the out party, is forming. Is DiFi sending a message to Harris? Trying to encourage Biden to commit? Publicly expressing loyalty to a long time colleague that she truly respects? Then I think about the shenanigans she engaged in late in the Kavanaugh confirmation and realize I've got to dig deeper for the real meaning, and that what I'll find is the intent of this act is likely to turn out to be politically nefarious and manipulative in some way.

Mr. Groovington म्हणाले...

Dark skin colour is the best carry forward. I love it when you can’t even find the asshole. That and the construction of the genitalia, which in black women is consistent and perfect. The variability and random construction of Caucasian pussy is frightening.

Howard म्हणाले...

DiFi don't like Kamala. Hopefully, the Dem women will scratch each others eyes out before the primary season kicks off this summer.

I think it's a pretty big deal. DiFi is sending a message to K-Harris: It ain't you. Not this time around.

Ask any woman, they hate working with women, and much prefer an all male environment, to an all female shop.

According to by better half, who has done both, women are petty, back stabbing, ambiguous, wishy washy, suffer analysis paralysis, and are in general unpredictable. Men are aggressive, focused, don't hold grudges, respect results, clearly communicate expectations.(they will however look down your shirt given the chance)

When the Dems do away with the electoral college

they should improve voting

just appoint using an Intersectionality Score Calculator

more more scientific

Get with the arc of history, baby!

After a black girl has duly gone to any one of the many clinics (so far in SA, Namibia and Botswana they do an HIV test anywhere in 5 minutes and a full spectrum test from a few days to under a week, depending on distance from a major center) you’re free to enthusiastically do what black guys mostly hate doing. When you ask black girls why, they have no idea except they themselves consider it a bit much to expect. I think it’s a historic thing. The Himba tribe of NW Namibia don’t wash ever, for instance. They use sand and the local red dirt instead. So Himba men justifiably don’t. Just a guess. The downside is that black women are greedy lovers. You get jaw ache.

Mr. Groovington म्हणाले...

Talking about tribes, an unachievable goal is a Herero woman before moving from Botswana to Zambia. Specially the ones here that fled Namibia during the “Hitler war”, as they call it. Google Herero and you’ll see what I mean. However it’s nearly impossible. And I don’t know anyone who has. They’re sacred.

Well, you wrote it about a bland endorsement.

When the comments devolve into black women and oral sex, that's saying something.

Before agreeing with Althouse, above, I was going to comment that Dianne Feinstein must believe that her grand daughter Eileen is too old for Joe to grope in public.

So, 80 y/o Diane endorses 76 y/o Biden.

That should win Joe the youth vote.

I know a lot about travel, probably in the top 1%, and since I do it alone, something about the women along the way. So that’s my contribution, a few travel and sexual anecdotes, as I read daily what is probably in the top 1% of political discussion in the blogosphere.

Sorry.

The last black gal I bedded poured a shot of Whistle Pig on her lady parts and commanded me to "Finish your drink!" I obeyed orders. She was a beautiful woman, but a bit of a freak in the sack. Fun, but freaky. I can't envision Kamala Harris doing much beyond laying on her back and repeatedly asking me if I was almost done.

Rosalyn C. म्हणाले...

Feinstein has to work with Harris for the next six years and this was the best spin she could come up with for not supporting Harris's presidential ambitions. Very clever and ladylike. This is a genuine illustration of why people dislike and distrust politicians (and perhaps women too) -- everything is PR approved. Boring and not honest.

Didn't Althouse say she wanted boring in politics? Maybe not this boring.

This endorsement is great because Chi-Spy DiFi can simply turn to whomever gets the nomination and say "that other endorsement was solely based on familiarity."

So it is the perfect non-endorsement endorsement.
Very politically crafty.

Ramaphosa is solid but the ANC still has a majority of the Zuma crowd in powerful positions. If there’s a peaceful outcome, he’s the one who can navigate it, so him being there now is fortunate. He’s stalling for time and needs the election behind him. I think there’s a 50/50 chance he can navigate this without going full Zimbabwe.

The radical EFF represent the blacks who want all whites dead, but will settle for all their assets and jobs. They represent the worst case but can’t seem to muster more than 12% of the vote. Their numbers will escalate if the economy tanks, which is looking possible. Mismanagement of everything is the rule. Unemployment has doubled since the end of apartheid.

The whites are going to have to take some heavy losses no matter what.
