Progressives, part 3...

Your description sounds more like Warren Buffet.  Trump was never in a category like that.  

Warren took it on the chin today.

I think he's going to be okay.

I know y’all kill CC for his dumbness as a teacher, but holy shit, someone taught these kids this. Also LOL at Feinstein, she just moved up in my book.

Outrageous how that zealot is manipulating and using those children to push her agenda.  That "12 years" comment wasn't just bad science, or even fake science...it's flat out propaganda.  It seems, as climate change hysteria continues to lose its luster, that activists are resorting to more and more extreme warnings, probably hoping to move the center left by pushing the extreme further and further out.

Yes, imagine the kind of hysteria being taught in that classroom for those kids to act that way.  That's shameful - you're convincing little kids their future is over before they even graduate highschool.  Makes you wonder about the parents, who not only aren't getting that teacher fired but apparently are cool with their kids being used as political props.

As for Feinstein, it's always interesting when politicians forget about cellphones and accidentally act rationally with a rare grasp of reality.

No.  He was a personality, a marketing/branding savant but hardly a savvy business guy.

I know people who are big time negotiators/deal makers and they say his book "The Art of the Deal" is a complete joke.  Nothing all that brilliant about leveraging power/size over the little guy.

LOL at "I know people who are big time"

Well, I imagine it might be hard for a dodgeball teacher to comprehend, but I don't think I'm the only person on this board who knows and has worked with people worth $100M+.

And, umm, you don't have to be rich or even a bigshot to be doing contracts for tens of millions of dollars at a Fortune 500.  Or leading an acquisition on a multi-billion dollar deal.

That whole video makes my head hurt.

1.  Why is she talking to these kids this way?  Unreal.  The 16 year old is right when she asked who voted for her.

2.  What is this teacher trying to accomplish by letting those kids spew that crap about the world ending.  SHe is damaging those kids beyond what she knows.

Serious question gut- what do you do? My guess would be you work in the insurance industry.

Broadly speaking, because it's actually kind of a small world, let's say the work I do falls under the Wall Street "umbrella".  That could include firms like AIG but, no, I don't work in insurance.

I like how Feinstein handled those kids, but she can forever go fuck herself with how she handled the Kavanaugh/Ford situation.

Really?  She acted like a total bitch.

Well, you'd know!

Acted?  That seems like how she normally is.

The surprising part is that she was offended by the question.  Probably rumors of disgust among party leaders with AOC are true, I think a combination of being loony and not having paid her dues.  Feinstein wanted to talk about HER "new deal", obviously not wanting to give any credit or support to AOC's plan.

Yes, and I’m not one to give much credit to her. She pretty much told them to fuck off. If this were Trump you would be creaming yourself.

Saw where AOC chimed in on this...basically telling Feinstein - one of the party leaders - that AOC is in charge and the establishment needs to get in line.  It's almost like she WANTS to ruin her political career before it even gets started....or maybe she's not as dumb as she acts, and this is all just about raising her profile so she can land a $500k job at CNN or MSNBC.  But good for AOC - she found a good paying gig where being smart is completely irrelevant.

“Yup. If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis,” she said.

“Until then, we’re in charge – and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats,” she said.

AOC is going to train cows to stop farting. 

Then she she can try and do the same to Al Gore and Trump. 

All are large, gassy beasts releasing a lot of sulphuric smelling CO2.

Don’t let your kids be used as pawns. I’m glad she shut them down.

I saw a week or two ago there are already rumors that the dems might redistrict her district to get her out of there.  I think she acknowledged this herself.  She signed that $10M Netflix deal (the irony), so she is straight.

How can she keep outdoing herself?  She is the biggest ignoramus we’ve come across; she may be dumber than Tim Ryan.
