No, no reparations. Also, it's a bottle of wine. We drank all the wine boxes during the reception.

 

I keep looking at the liver spot on Bernie's scalp and wondering why he never thought to have it lasered off. 

 

Maybe it's the wine talking but now I'm thinking in a game of F/M/K, Yang is now my F. I think he might be fun.

Yeah sure ask the person who has never served about how people should serve in the military. This is freaking stupid

Don't you think that's a reasonable question though when the current commander in chief also hasn't served in the military? I mean, what if the general election (just hypothetically) was Buttigieg v. Trump. Should they avoid this question because Trump never served? I think it's a valid one to ask of anyone who would command our armed forces, if only to dismiss them. :)

Why does military service by the president matter?

I wasn't saying that -- I was actually saying the opposite. I don't think it matters in the context of that question. :) 

 

Booker just called Biden out on marijuana, good for him.

MSNBC Democratic Debate Captured 6.5 Million Viewers, Lowest in Current Cycle

Not quite that bad and a mega increase on MSNBC's normal numbers but would explain why nobody I know seems to have much of a clue about these debates.
