Mini Mike reminds me of the Detroit Lions. Every year in training camp, the Loins are said to be a great team, a vastly improved team, a better team than anyone can remember; then they have to play against other teams and they are a great big nothing. Mini Mike was a great candidate until he actually had to get some votes. LOL

Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg has decided to form an independent expenditure campaign that will absorb hundreds of his presidential campaign staffers in six swing states to work to elect the Democratic nominee this fall.

The group, with a name that is still undisclosed because its trademark application is in process, would also be a vehicle for Bloomberg to spend money on advertising to attack President Trump and support the Democratic nominee, according to a person familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. …

The new group, operating with the same potentially limitless bankroll that funded Bloomberg’s campaign, could play a major role in shaping the race this fall. Bloomberg, who is worth more than $50 billion, also has not ruled out using the group to spend money to support former vice president Joe Biden during his primary fight against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Bloomberg dropped out of the race Wednesday.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Bloomberg is more dangerous being the money man behind the scenes than he is as a candidate.

Bloomberg made his billions by the labor of programmers who wrote stuff Bloomberg himself couldn't understand.

After 35 years in the computer field, I can assure you of several certainties. Among these are the following:
  • 35 years ago, the best programmers in the field weren't "schooled" in programming. They weren't subject to code reviews, walkthroughs, and the like. They were problem solvers, and found ways to program solutions.
  • The computer field is full of wild and often competing ideas. I have a favorite saying: "The beauty of standards is that there are so many to choose from."
  • The operating principle of technologists seems to be, "If it ain't broke, break it. THEN fix it!"
  • Computer "geeks" are stereotyped for a reason. One of my friends, who managed a technical staff his entire career used to say they were the "flat food group." As in, "I'd put them in a room to work and push pizza (flat food) under the door." Social skills are not high on the list of positive character traits in the computer field.
I could go on. The point I'm trying to make is that just because one can pay a lot for technical "expertise," that doesn't mean you're going to get quality as part of the package.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Then there's this rocket scientist plus Brian Williams showing how they can believe Bernies numbers are correct. And no one on the set could help them either?
Even A-OC might have picked up on this one.
Are they smarter than a fifth grader?

Leftist math:

Thursday on MSNBC's "The Eleventh Hour" with Brian Williams, New York Times Editorial Board Member Mara Gay and the host accepted without question a tweet that (jokingly) said that Michael Bloomberg could have given every American one million dollars with the five hundred million dollars he spent on his short-lived presidential campaign.

"When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear," Williams said.

The tweet read: "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over."

"It’s an incredible way of putting it," Williams said.

"It’s an incredible way of putting it," Gay said. "It’s true. It’s disturbing."

In reality, $500 million divided by 327 million Americans is about $1.53 per person.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

What’s disturbing is that they are the people whom vast numbers of Americans listen to and get their information and ultimately many of their opinions from.

He'll have to be very careful not to wind up in jail for violating campaign donation limits, doing that. There is no limit on using your own funds on your own campaign, but if you want to donate to a campaign, there are rules.

When have rules meant anything to Democrats?

Except when they are going after a Republican?

sdy's post above appears to basically be a Super PAC, probably open for contributions from others but largely funded by him, and then he'll be able to run practically nonstop ads. If it was like his primary ad buy, people will be so sick of them they'll be ready to fight back by voting for the President rather than the Democrat nominee.
