  1. Oh, my stars and garters! Lindsey Graham may just have to find a fainting couch.

    Democrat Jaime Harrison challenges Graham for Senate seat.

     

    This video plays; the Twitter one doesn’t for some reason:

      1. Congressman Clyburn had a pre-announcement reception for Jaime last week and I had the opportunity to meet him personally and hear his life story.  If there is anyone that is the antithesis of Ms. Lindsay, it's Jaime.  Our Senate would be well-served with him as a member. 

  2. Kamala Harris did well in her msnbc town hall last night.  Dare we hope for a saviour who hasn't been on medicare for a decade?

    Keep on truckin', Kamala.  Another check is on the way.

      1. Amy has been my main squeeze.  I sent her $50 twice.  But kamala was my number two and she's showing more momentum.  So, we sent her $50 and will match that soon.

        they are both great but I just want a winner.  I'd even vote for biden over Stinky Boy.  If disaster strikes and we nominate Bernie, I'probably even vote for him, then move to Borneo.

        amy is the cooler head and has a more moderate perspective, but Kamala is the better campaigner so far.  Right now,  my wife and I are content to back them both and let the debates, Iowa and New Hampshire sort them out.

        I turn 74 tomorrow, so this is probably my last chance to see a woman president. But nothing, nothing, is more important than beating Donald Demented. I just don’t think America can survive eight years of fascism with democratic values intact. Trump is Stalin with bad hair.

  3. Mayor Michael Hancock apologizes for comment about suggestive texts as officer accuses him of “telling additional lies”

    Asked why during a Denver Post-hosted debate Tuesday night, Hancock suggested the released exchanges didn’t include some of Branch-Wise’s comments: “When you see the texts from Detective Branch-Wise, you see my texts,” he said, prompting outcries from the crowd. “The reason I said it wasn’t sexual harassment is because you don’t see the back-and-forth conversation that occurred.”

    “It’s clear to me that the mayor is blatantly telling additional lies,” Branch-Wise said at Giellis’ campaign headquarters in south Denver.

    “I have nothing to hide and nothing to prove,” Branch-Wise added, challenging the mayor to bring forth any inappropriate text messages written by her. She said some apparent gaps in the text chains were pauses prompted by her shock at what the mayor had written.

      1. Between equal adults, this might be innocent,  fun and flirty. But he was her boss! Or if not in her direct chain of command, as Mayor, he would have some influence over her evaluations, her promotions, etc.

        I've been in that position, of having coworkers/ bosses come on to me, and it is not fun (really uncomfortable) to decide how to respond. Treat it like nothing weird happened, laugh it off, lie and say you're in a committed relationship, simply say, "No, I don't think of you that way?" All of those have risks and consequences.

        This has been mostly men harassing women as a power dynamic, because men mostly are in those supervisory, powerful positions. In the education world, every year, there are cringe-worthy examples of teachers (male and female) becoming involved sexually with students.

        It's not that difficult. Don't come on sexually to people you work with. Don't come on sexually to people you supervise. Don't come on sexually to people where there is a gross power imbalance because of age, status, or whatever.  If Hancock doesn't get this, he shouldn't be Mayor.
