Yes let's ban a WOMAN of COLOR from becoming the US President. The Left are so tolerant aren't they? and these libtards wonder why Trump is President?
It doesn't appear that Gabbard is running a viable primary election campaign. She has participated in every primary election but has only won 2 of 1794 delegates.

Apparently, the American Democratic voter has shown a preference for Biden or Sanders that far outpaces any desire for them to choose to vote for Gabbard.

It's difficult to become the nominee if you aren't a favorite for the primary voters. And the DNC is at liberty to choose who they want for the party to satisfy their party voters. That is their function.

Of course, Gabbard could always choose to change her party affiliation. Trump became a Republican in 2011 and he won the White House. Perhaps that would work for Gabbard, too.


Yeah because the liberal media and democrat politicians have continually accused Gabbard of being a Russian Spy working for Putin on behalf of Assad from Syria they have continued to push this insane conspiracy theory from day one right now she is suing Hillary Clinton for defamation.

So like I said, the tolerant left doesn't want a WOMAN of COLOR running for President they want a puppet who will work for corrupt businesses.

The ONLY person who has given Tulsi a fair shake is Tucker Carlson from Fox News he is the only one who speaks the truth and is willing to give anybody a fair chance.

nah, is plainly the majority voters are simpletons. just like unc/pnm has their loyalists, who dont understand policy, those numbers are basic voters, who only understand, red bad, blue good, vote blue.. they are the people that if they try to think for themselves, they will get hurt, so they dont, they just vote the last thing they managed to figure out donkey years ago.
most of biden voters are +60. the old people are keeping the young voter's choice out.

they are absolutely stupid for believing that biden is more 'electable'. within their party, prolly yeah. but against trump, nah! policy wise, not different enough, and competency wise, trump will elder shame him... trump will boblize him so much he might forget and call him Corn Pop.

its highly irresponsible for the dem establishment for forcing biden, in this state, on the voters. same thing like voting maxie cuffie. u know u could do it cause the voters are idiots, and will vote party no matter

Some interesting reasoning but offering no substantive alternative that would convince the average voter from doing what most people do - going with what they know.

And if because most voters or the electoral college results allow the Republicans win the election, then that's what those people want. And perhaps it is their right to get the representatives that they choose irrespective of the opinions of others.

dummies will vote blue no matter who. if dem tell biden to bow out, he will, and the dummies are so afraid of a trump presidency, they will fall in line and support the dem candidate.

their whole argument about electibilty is about a candidate that will get elected to beat trump. but they think that a middle ground candidate will convince the conservatives to vote blue. not so at all. especially after trump promised jobs and didnt deliver. they not taking compromise decisions. they seeing the green new deal as a transition from coal jobs to green jobs, they seeing the money back in their pockets from medical insurance, by a national health system. they seeing the walk back of trade agreements that removing jobs to china.

but dem voters just afraid of a nookie grabbing orange man, to understand issues like that. and the dem establishment milking them

Right but answer me where are all the feminists now? everytime the politicians and media try to assassinate the character of a Woman of Color running for President, why are the feminists suddenly so quiet? but they quick to jump up and ra ra ra they cyathole over complete and utter nonsense with Trump bragging about how he used to grab the fake tits gold digging whores by the pu.$$y

Maybe the cause wasn't worthwhile after all since Tulsi isn't an establishment puppet........

And you wonder why people now consider feminism a joke?

I am not arguing whether you are right or wrong. I am just stating that the latest polls and strawman contests are not in agreement.

If you have spent any time in politics or marketing you already ready know that nothing gives you a better indicator of what will happen than waiting for it.

No matter what is said here, most voters have made up their minds. And the ones that haven't won't make a decision until the last few days before the election.

By now you must have realized that wanna-be GOP Erectile Dysfunction only froths up when it comes to Dems right? Imagine trying to make a case for a candidate who so far has managed a grand total of 0.10 % of delegates thus far, and calling it gender bias. Gabbard has never featured top of any polls, stats, or anything of substance. She's never gotten close to any lead position in any caucus or primary. So what, besides her being a woman, makes her so special?

Made no sense for her continuing. After endorsing Bernie back in 2016 instead of Hillary, she has been marginalized by the DNC and the liberal media throughout her campaign.

Endorsing Biden might at least move her from the black to grey list.

U.S. jobless claims skyrocket to 3.283 million

Yahoo Finance
March 26, 2020, 8:30 AM AST

The COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc on the U.S. economy, and data released Thursday morning reflected the severe damage being done to the labor market.

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits skyrocketed to a record-breaking 3.283 million for the week ended March 21. Consensus expectations were for 1.64 million claims. The previous record was 695,000 claims filed the week ended October 2, 1982. Initial jobless claims for the week ended March 14 was revised higher to 282,000 from 281,000 and was the largest single-week increase since the Great Recession.

“Millions of Americans are filing for benefits, and that means the economy is not just staring down at the abyss, it has fallen off the cliff and down into the depths of recession,” Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank, said in an email Thursday. “How far it goes is anyone's guess, but certainly close to 10 million people are out of work, and this means the official unemployment rate will match the 10% threshold of pain reached in the 1981-82 and 2007-09 recessions.”

USA taking wartime measures for manufacturing medical devices.
US President Donald Trump has ordered General Motors to make ventilators for coronavirus patients after attacking the car giant's chief executive.

He invoked the Korean War-era Defense Production Act, which allows a president to force companies to make products for national defence.

Trump is right on this part these companies are wasting time on nonsense, force everyone of them to start making essential much needed medical equipment to save lives. They outsourced every fcking thing to China now nobody has the capacity to make one ass anymore. This virus is showing the world now dangerous it is to depend on a single country for making everything.

Rowley should do the same locally force places like Angostura to start making hand sanitizers well actually Rowley don't have to force them I saw on the news they are going to start doing just that. Don't know if Rowley spoke to the chairman or if he decided it on his own but right now we have no need for drinking rum this is serious business we have to get other manufacturers to start making masks like the N95 mask, face mask with shields.

Slow your roll there Trumptista. The reasons why Trump delayed enacting the Defense Production Act, even though he cited it twice :roll: was that these companies lobbied for, and got a delay via the Boy Wonder Jared Kushner.

i did feel impressed when trump finally buss out and say they pelting resources at it, it kinda shine up the dnc, but it distilled towards being a buffet for big businesses.

Imagine Trump was saying how hospitals does have 2 ventilators so he can't understand why they want 30,000 and that how something doesn't seem right there.

I not sure if Trump pretending to be dotish or naturally dotish but I am beginning to suspect maybe this wasn't an act all along to pretend to be dotish for votes maybe the man really dotish.

But then the left still sucking China's d!ck and it isn't going to stop only a few media outlets are exposing China the ones like 60 minute australia are exposing what China did to this world, kidnapped and murdered any doctor who tried to raise the Alarm, the rest of the cancerous pests like CNN and MSNBC etc are defending China and trying to protect the CCP.

As dotish and illiterate as Trump is he still isn't as dangerous as the left wing media.

Correct first they said Trump didn't know what he was talking about and how drugs used to treat Malaria is useless and Trump is causing more problems by recommending it.

Now the FDA and all top doctors are actually recommending it for treating COVID 19 because according to doctors and patients the drug actually WORKS and saves them from death.

The left is absolute disgusting they would happily kill people just to push their leftist agenda, imagine we have a decades old life saving drug that with no doubt helps covid 19 patients from dying and these nasty phaggots CNN and MSNBC etc etc etc prefers to spread fake news.

The phaggot reporter Jim Acosta was even more despicable the man kept trying to bait Trump and the top doctors into creating panic and fear among the population and the doctors kept telling the phaggot to shut the fck up and that how he doesn't know what he is talking about he isn't a medical doctor he is a fake news journalist he should stick to his profession

Sen. Chuck Grassley releases statement on firing of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson

Butler County (KWWL) -- US Republican Senator Chuck Grassley released a statement Saturday on President Trump's firing of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson.

"Inspectors general play a critical role in protecting against fraud, waste, abuse and misconduct, and their work helps ensure the government efficiently serves the people. And they often serve as an outlet to whistleblowers who shine a light to problems in government. They help drain the swamp, so any removal demands an explanation. Congress has been crystal clear that written reasons must be given when IGs are removed for a lack of confidence. More details are needed from the administration. The intelligence community inspector general is particularly essential to ensuring the nation’s secrets are well protected and powerful, highly invasive surveillance authorities are not abused. Going forward the ICIG must step up its focus on investigating those abuses and preventing leaks of classified information. "

Exclusive: Pressed by Trump, U.S. pushed unproven coronavirus treatment guidance

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In mid-March, President Donald Trump personally pressed federal health officials to make malaria drugs available to treat the novel coronavirus, though they had been untested for COVID-19, two sources told Reuters.

Shortly afterward, the federal government published highly unusual guidance informing doctors they had the option to prescribe the drugs, with key dosing information based on unattributed anecdotes rather than peer-reviewed science.

While Trump, in a series of tweets and press comments, had made his opinions on the drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, well known, the nature of his behind-the-scenes intervention has not been previously reported. The guidance, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has received scant notice outside medical circles.

The episode reveals how the president’s efforts could change the nature of drug oversight, a field long governed by strict rules of science and testing. Rarely, if ever, has a U.S. president lobbied regulators and health officials to focus their efforts on specific unproven drugs.

“The president is short-circuiting the process with his gut feelings,” said Jeffrey Flier, a former dean of Harvard Medical School. “We are in an emergency and we need to rely on our government to ensure that all these potential therapies are tested in the most effective and objective way.”

In a statement to Reuters, the White House said the president had not launched a “pressure campaign” but was taking appropriate action.

Trump fired me because I handled whistleblower complaint properly

“As an Inspector General, I was legally obligated to ensure that whistleblowers had an effective and authorized means to disclose urgent matter.”

----------

The intelligence community watchdog removed abruptly late Friday by President Donald Trump says he believes Trump ousted him because of his evenhanded handling of a whistleblower complaint that ultimately led to the president's impeachment.

"It is hard not to think that the President’s loss of confidence in me derives from my having faithfully discharged my legal obligations as an independent and impartial Inspector General," Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general said in a statement Sunday, "and from my commitment to continue to do so."

Atkinson was the federal official who revealed to Congress in September the existence of a whistleblower complaint against Trump, which indicated that the president improperly pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. When Atkinson sought to share that complaint with Congress under a federal whistleblower law, the White House and Justice Department intervened and blocked the transmission of the complaint for days.

Ultimately, amid withering pressure, Trump provided the whistleblower complaint to Congress, as well as a transcript of a July 2019 call with Ukraine's president, two pieces of evidence that became crucial factors in the House's decision to impeach Trump for abuse of power. The Senate later acquitted him on a nearly party-line vote.

"As an Inspector General, I was legally obligated to ensure that whistleblowers had an effective and authorized means to disclose urgent matters involving classified information to the congressional intelligence committees, and that when they did blow the whistle in an authorized manner, their identities would be protected as a guard against reprisals," Atkinson said in his statement. "Inspectors General are able to fulfill their critical watchdog functions because, by law, they are supposed to be independent of both the Executive agencies they oversee and of Congress."

Trump informed the House and Senate Intelligence Committees late Friday that he would be removing Atkinson after a required 30-day wait. But Atkinson was immediately placed on administrative leave, according to congressional sources, effectively circumventing the one-month delay. The move has prompted some Senate Republicans to demand more details about Atkinson's removal.
