On Beto's press coverage:
The breathless, sweeps-like cable television coverage that greeted the former Texas congressman’s first campaign events stunned and frustrated many Democratic operatives — particularly women — who viewed it as an example of the double standard at work in the historically diverse presidential field.

I don't know that any of the candidates have any real gravitational pull (yet), but I think 2020 is probably a bad year to be a straight white dude not called Biden seeking the Democratic nomination. And I'm not sure about him, either.

This is absolutely shocking. Iman Fadil, the 34 Moroccan model who was due to give evidence against former Italian PM Silvio Burlusconi (one of Putin’s best friends) in the Bunga Bunga trial suddenly died of radioactive poison before trial

Perfect example of why I'll never be for abolishing the death penalty. He should be publicly flayed and hung out for the birds to pick clean.

On the recent non-binding vote (420-0) in Congress about releasing the Mueller Report, I told leadership to let all Republicans vote for transparency. Makes us all look good and doesn’t matter. Play along with the game!

Didn't **** face stop this in the Senate?

"Makes us all look good and doesn’t matter" is perfection.

I’d rather it be 21 unless you are in the military.

Stupid idea. Much rather see a maximum age for elected officials and maybe taking away voting rights for those over a certain age.

What's the age that you need to be to legally own a gun? Make that the voting age.

Maybe you should try not insulting people for a change. Then you might actually fit in society, and not be an outcast.

This is a suggestion, not an insult.

Reuters knew Beto O’Rourke was a member of secret hacking group but agreed not to publish until after Senate race was over
