    So I have no problems with Warren's work as a bk consultant.  But at the same time, this smells rather hypocritical.  I also don't care who Pete consulted while at McKinsey.  At the end of the day, if you work for a consulting company, you're going to consult the people that your management team tells you to consult.

    This was pathetic, as usual with Hillary. Maybe he would have endorsed her sooner if the entire DNC wasn't in Hillary's pocket conspiring to make her the nominee. 
    Did the DNC conspire to make 55% of Democrats vote for her in the primaries?  They are awfully powerful.  
    Nah they conspired to make 100% of democrats vote for her, but came up 45% short lol

    what the fuck is cilliza talking about? did he listen to the same interview I did?

    if what was said is a diss its really mild.

    she stated an. opinion.  one, its reasonable to believe that it did hurt her to an extent by delaying endorsement  tw she said she was disappointed. three yes she did say she hoped it didnt happen again if another got the nod over bernie. so what. isnt it about defeating doucher in chief?

    4th. Fuck bernie. HE ISNT A DEMOCRAT. Hijacking the apparatus to avoid doing the work. Ran as what you are or stay in your current role. Even in that he doesnt run as what he identifies as.......

    I'm sure if McK asked you to consult NAMBLA, you could say no.  I'll grant you that.  But by and large, you don't get much of a choice if the request is reasonable.  Consulting Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, Amazon, while may be distasteful to some progressives, you could not say no.  Trust me on this one in regards to consulting in the US.

    I would assume there is contract language about this very thing.

    NAMBLA is specifically called out in the contract which I'm working under today.

    Interesting.. Pete and Biden at the top in NH.  This whole thing is really unpredictable.  There are so many undecided that it could swing to any of the top four candidates in NH and IA.  https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/474139-poll-buttigieg-biden-neck-and-neck-in-new-hampshire

    it's only Tuesday, but smartest thing I read all week : 

    "Buttigeig is what Boomers want Millennials to be; while Sanders is what Millennials want Boomers to be."

    Twitter forgot about the yelp and growl that sunk Dean.

    You think in binary just like Trump does. There are more than two ways to think in the world. I know you really aren’t here looking for opinions, but here’s mine anyways. Sanders would have efforts to get things done be hamstrung at every opportunity, and would divide a country that I honestly don’t know how much more division it can sustain. The desperate and reckless “blow it up and start with a radically different reality from today” is not an approach I or any moderately risk-averse person should ever advocate for. Signed, a millennial who doesn’t much appreciate being told how I feel.

    I'd like to see the Mayor and some of those Senators (and Hunter's dad, for that matter) yield some of their collective time to Cory Booker and Julian Castro tonight.

    Tulsi not so much.

    "Hunter's dad"?  What a strange way to name the VP.  And why would they do such a thing?

    Where will Cory Booker, Julian Castro (and Tulsi Gabbard) be tonight? Maybe watching the new Star Wars movie or something?

    Anyway, enjoy your white people (and Yang).

    Thanks!  I enjoy people who earn the votes based on the rules established at the beginning.  I don't understand why you hate white people.  That's a really bizarre statement.
