When my wife was teaching 3rd grade they put a 5ft high climbing wall on the playground.

One of her students fell off it and broke his arm.

The parents sued.

There was consideration about ending recess completely.

I always thought breaking your arm was a normal part of growing up (?).

There's a little insight to the bullying phenom as well.
I came back from a business trip to Venezuela in the 1980s to find my 11-12 year old daughter in two full arm casts, bent at the elbows and a little at the wrists. Seems she was hanging upside down from the playground bars by her legs. She thought she could swing just enough to drop to her feet. Fail. Broke both wrists. The bitch was my wife had to help her every time she went to the toilet since my daughter was unable to reach her umm privates to wipe. I took off on another trip the next week so I missed most of the show. Kids being kids. Litigation? Nah...

I dislike Bloomberg but holy hell is that taken out of context.

classic snippet journalism the fake news screechers should be screeching about.

Bloomberg seems to be making comments about using the data and reacting accordingly, which in in the Woke era gets attributed to "hate facts". And then compounding this social sin by explaining it bluntly and poorly.

The righties have been on the receiving end of this dishonesty for a long time so that makes it especially cynical for them to be doing the same to Bloomberg. The more subtle usage of this opposition research would have been to give it a little sunshine and then let the wokesters in his own party eat him alive.

I SAID GODDAMN POCAHONTAS GO HARD IN THE PAINT

I think the rest of the Democrats might hate this MF more than I do.
If it’s comes down to Bern vs Bloom, which way would you choose? (Insert old school drowning and toilet emojis)

Damn that's a tough one. Good call on the emojis because drowning in a toilet sounds pretty plaeboi of the three options.

I think Bloomberg would be bad electorally, and I have it as an article of faith Bernie would be. Bloomberg feels less likely to lose the (D) the Senate races though.

The flip side is, if we send Bernie out to get the entire party's dick kicked in up and down the ballot from dog catcher to President, I can deploy "does xhe remember when xer dick got kicked in with muh real progressive" and we might not have to suffer through whoever his successor is in 2024 the same way we've had to suffer through him in 2016 and 2020.

Gahhh I guess Bernie will be dead by 2024 and his successor probably won't have the cult of personality. I guess get the loss and the strident populist screeching both into the dumpster, the sooner the better.

Give me the batshit socialist. Maybe he'll cut the swing state Senators free and they can still win.

So apparently Mini has already campaigned as a Republican. And Failed.

He's tried it as an Independent. And Failed.

So now he's a Democrat.

A Democrat with a billion dollars to throw around and try to make people like him.

Start at the top, work your way down and eventually you'll find somebody stupid enough to vote for you...
