    Newsweek: Tulsi Gabbard, the Only Non-White Dem Candidate With Primary Delegates, Confirms She Was Not Invited to DNC

    Gabbard is also the only non-white candidate of the group. The other six candidates who won delegates—Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigeg and Senator Amy Klobuchar—all spoke over the course of the convention.

    The 39-year-old Hawaii congresswoman, whose father is of Samoan ancestry, won more delegates than vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who made history as the first African American and the first Asian American running mate on a major party ticket.

    The Democratic Party was criticized last week, after releasing the full convention schedule, when constituents noticed Andrew Yang and Julian Castro were also left off the lineup.

    Yang ended up speaking at the virtual convention Thursday after he tweeted his disappointment that the party had not asked him to participate. Democratic lawmakers from California expressed their support for Yang's presence at the DNC.

    Why do Democrats hate women of color (other than the one they picked, totally not because of her two X chromosomes and her color)?

    When in doubt, throw it out. The question is the answer. Especially chicken.

    I was just watching his speech to some business group. Good speech and he laid out a pretty fair list of his administration’s accomplishments. If he can stick to the record and stay out of the mud he will do well.

    There's a reason that proper racing and rally drivers have to abide by a ton of rules and take additional tests.

    Assholes.

    It makes sense. I imagine they might cancel the super bowl if the left guard got sick. Because that would be the right thing to do.

    The pressure to take a boat or ship out can be extreme. For commercial fishermen, you don't fish, you don't make any money. For others, it may be a schedule problem.

    My FIL's neighbor is the captain of a container ship. It has an A crew and a B crew, plying a regular route between Houston and Amsterdam. The ship runs a tight schedule. A couple of years back, he was under intense pressure to take his ship through a storm, in order to keep that schedule. As captain, he refused, changing his route and losing a day and a half. He had to come before a committee at work to explain his actions, because of the money lost.

    Our Malamute chases birds like that. He has killed chickens before, back in China. For some reason birds are the only animals that activate him like that. He ignores every other critter.

    @Horace said in Pretty soon you're talking about real money:

    I struggle to love much of the classical repertoire as it is. I suspect I would be batting zero in an attempt to love the left handed stuff.
