    You’re not going to believe this, but Tulsi Gabbard, who portrays herself as anti-war, and who constantly attacks Clinton as a war monger, had nothing to say about Dump starting a new war.

    Meanwhile, all the candidates weighed on twitter, except Gabbard, Steyer, Bloomberg, and Pete.

    Wilmer was dragged kicking and screaming into responding.  He hates criticizing Dump and only did so a half an hour after Warren’s strong response and even then he only posted a mealy mouthed complaint about the financial cost.

    Sad!

    @Pete Downunder: My husband grew up in Buffalo, NY and has no desire to ever see snow again. I haven’t seen snow in decades, but I would like to see it again — from a window while seated near a roaring fireplace. I think it’s beautiful as long as you don’t have to drive in it.

    Speaking of weather, it’s supposed to get into the mid-80s today, which is rather warm for January, even in Florida. I refuse to turn the A/C on during winter, so I’m doing the old cracker trick of opening up all the windows and doors while the air is cool, then shutting the cool air in before it gets warm outside.

    This is on Wilmer from 4 years ago:

    The letter from Dr. Brian Monahan — the attending physician at the Capitol — said the 74-year-old senator has had a variety of medical conditions over the years, and acknowledged his hernia surgery late last year as well as the removal of “superficial skin tumors” and a cyst from his vocal cords.

    Among other things, the letter said Sanders has had gout, a form of arthritis; a “mild” case of high cholesterol; diverticulitis, a kind of inflammation of the digestive tract; and hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones.

    It also said he has had laryngitis linked to acid reflux, and has had lumbar strain — lower back problems.

    Geez, what a mess.

    Now it was a 4 paragraph letter, not his records. The letter also said he had no history of cardiovascular disease, yet three years later he had two blocked arteries, which triggered a significant heart attack. When you miss something that big, it casts doubt on finding of the rest of the letter.

    • Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg have qualified for the January debate so far.
    • The January debate will be broadcast on CNN, CNN International, and CNN En EspanĂ”l, and likely streamed on CNN.com and desmoinesregister.com as well.

    @Baud:

    It still amazes me the NYTimes managed to portray Hillary Clinton as in poor health and barely functioning. It is visibly, obviously, not in any way true. Watching her for decades she was really, really consistently functioning on a very high level and yet Republicans planted this seed of an idea that she was somehow ill and addled and they just RAN with it.

    They can do this to anyone if they could do it to her. No one ever thought she was frail prior to the smear job. They created it in a matter of months and sold it, although it contradicts decades of objective evidence- the actions of the person herself- which we all watched.

    I’m upset that 2020 begins with Trump and media selling a war. I could cry. I cannot believe we are doing this again. It’s the exact same cast of characters too, with the addition of Donald Trump. “Addition”. Huge subtraction. So, incredibly, worse than the last rush to war.

    @Kay: I’m still gobsmacked that the media accepted the first White House physician’s absurd, DPRK-like attestations to Trump’s robust health and that his mysterious visit to Walter Reed was swallowed by the memory hole almost immediately.

    Here’s what I wonder: does the collective media shrug over 78-year-old Senator Sanders’ heart attack prove that it’s not a Trump thing, or has the Trump era lowered the standard across the board? I think it’s the latter, but I do wonder how the NYT Beltway hacks would react to Senator Warren catching a cold…

    I have some trouble with the whole “health”analysis, honestly. 1. it will be bad and sloppy and dumb and, 2, since it will be that, how useful is it?

    Sanders supporters know he had a heart attack and they know how old he is. Is dumb analysis of his resting pulse rate going to add anything?  These are people who took the hale and hearty Hillary Clinton and turned her into a barely functioning crone. If they want to do the same to Sanders, they will do so, medical records or no medical records.

    @JPL: I’m afraid you are asking the wrong guy. I have always preferred to use natural finishes that let whatever wood I am working with speak for itself (oils, maybe a satin polyurethane).

    As far as staining cherry for an ebony look… Well just the thought is blasphemy and the act itself is such sheer sacrilege that excommunication is to be followed by burning at the stake!

    On the slightly more serious side, I would think that stripping the furniture first with most any of the commercially available brands would be sufficient (remember to follow all safety protocols!) and then using a quality ebony stain would give you the desired color and then a few coats of polyurethane to finish would do the job.

    But again, I am not that well versed on finishes.

    TheHill:

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) raised more than $21.2 million in the last three months of 2019, her campaign announced on Friday, a total that surpassed a self-imposed $20 million goal for the quarter, but falls short of the fundraising hauls of her top rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination.

    Warren raked in nearly 900,000 donations from 443,000 people in the fourth quarter of 2019, with an average donation size of $23, her campaign manager Roger Lau said in an email to supporters.

    Her fourth quarter total was bolstered by more than $1.5 million in donations in the final day of 2019, the best day of fundraising for her campaign to date, Lau said.

    The $21.2 million haul is a sizable one for Warren, though it was eclipsed by the fundraising totals of her three top rivals in the primary race. Former Vice President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he had raised $22.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, while former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg raked in $24.7 million.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) eclipsed them all, bringing in more than $34.5 million in the last three months of 2019 – the largest three-month total raised by any candidate in the Democratic presidential field so far.

    President Trump outraised all of the Democratic contenders. His campaign announced on Thursday that he had raised roughly $46 million in the last three months of 2019 and closed out the year with $102.7 million on hand.

    Warren’s fourth quarter haul also fell short of the nearly $24.7 million she raised in the third quarter of the year, which spanned July through September.

    Still, Warren finished the year as one of the primary field’s most formidable fundraisers. She brought in more than $71 million over the course of 2019. And unlike some of her rivals – Biden and Buttigieg, in particular – she has eschewed traditional big-ticket fundraisers that often provide candidates with sizable financial boosts.

    “Elizabeth didn’t host any private events to raise money from wealthy donors behind closed doors. She didn’t take any money from Washington lobbyists or PACs,” Lau wrote in the email. “And we still hit our goal. That’s because grassroots donors are building a grassroots movement to change the way campaigns are funded. And that’s a big part of how we’ll change who government works for.”

    […]

    Good numbers for Team Warren. I was a little worried when her numbers were delayed so much longer than everyone else’s yesterday.

    Biden’s numbers are surprising to me, being the [klaxon]front-runner[/klaxon] and all…

    @Kay: I think that total is the number to compare to Rump’s, not his total against individual candidates. Democrats are raising lots of money to defeat him.

    As much as I hate waiting in Doctors offices who by 2 PM are ALWAYS running at least a half hour late, if your lucky, I will always make my appt for the earliest available time.

    @OzarkHillbilly: I’m pretty sure the entire American right now believes the story of Iraq is “we were doing fine until Obama cut and run”, because why wouldn’t they?

    @OzarkHillbilly:

    Will confess, our family doctor always takes most all day for appointments, but, on the other hand, always sees you today if you get sick or are injured. He takes his time with you if you are hurt, sends you across the street for imaging when needed, has a lab in his office to capture that profit, but also means your blood work is at least in part done before you actually see him.

    Have been seeing the same guy since before 1980…

    On the other hand, dentist, 1:30 every time, eye doctor, 1 or 2 pm.
