Darn, found another one I don't really recall the reasoning for...

She might have taken offense when asked her if she was skiing on Arbor Day.

It's probably just that your reputation is spreading far and wide among the hollywood elite

Yep. Spreading. Far and wide.

My guess is her PR/social media person was a fan of blocklists. I know I'm on a few of those from the Gamergate days.

You're on a list.
They block everyone on the list.

Bwah! Ha! Ha!
Two Democrats say that evil Trump supporters interfered with the phone system so it must be true...

How did all those Trump supporters know that the primary reporting tool would fail and force them to call results in?
Are a continuing flood of calls preventing reporting full results 2+ days later??

In case any of you have not been following, there is a separate thread that is highlighting the outreach to traditional democrat constituencies, particularly the outreach to the black community.

If Biden fades quickly, I see the Boomers headed toward Bloomberg. The gay issue is something many of them are not comfortable with and although Pete is admired by a lot of the older set who remember a young Jack Kennedy, I don't think they'll ever get over two guys in the White House.

I can't imagine Mayor Pete in the White House acting like JFK, that would involve way more than two guys.

And if the Weinstein case proves nothing else, it proves that the Hollywood Elite knows all about spreading far and wide

Best Term Limit Video...

Term limits will only help if you can apply it to all government work. Without chasing the rest of the government out you will just institutionalize a "government" that does what it wants and simply waits until the next election. Call it deep state or whatever.

Congress will never self limit themselves.
And we already have a solution.
STOP reelecting them.

This is an unintended consequence of term limits. Only the staff people and deep state will have experience and guile.

In 2000, the average Representative hired 14 staff members, while the average Senator hired 34. In 2000, Representatives had a limit of 18 full-time and four part-time staffers; Senators had no limit on staff.

In the year 2000, there were approximately 11,692 personal staff, 2,492 committee staff, 274 leadership staff, 5,034 institutional staff, and 3,500 GAO employees, 747 CRS employees, and 232 CBO employees.

So somehow sending new neophytes representatives, say every 6 years, limited to 3 2 year terms to represent us, into that swamp is a winner for we the people? I once was a term limits believer, but now am a skeptic. The real change Washington needs is to remove power and restore it back to the states...

I don't believe something that doesn't work in the real world is a solution.

 

[actaeon277]

If you have a flat tire, and an air compressor, you have the solution.
Choosing not to do that doesn't change that.

Sadly the states are not much better if at all than the Fed. People seem not only to accept the boot of the government on their throats, but also to crave it. It is a sad situation.
