What is this about? Civil Lawsuit -Brunson Case on Docket for Supreme Court Conference

Yep - Weird Al Yankovic - "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" Whole thing here. https://genius.com/Weird-al-yankovic-pretty-fly-for-a-rabbi-lyrics
Wait a minute... or was it Dave Frishberg - My Attorney Bernie? https://genius.com/Dave-frishberg-my-attorney-bernie-lyrics
Nah - witty, like ALL Frishberg songs - but not the right one. I'll stick with Weird Al for this one.

 

The "How ya doin', Bernie" was provided by one Fran Drescher.

 

WRONG AGAIN, JOHANN! It was a film, "Weekend at Bernie's" https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/WeekendAtBernies
Oy Gevalt! So many Bernies!

Frankly, I think the songs are better. I especially like Dave Frishberg, whom we lost in 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Frishberg
I hear him often on the jazz station I listen to daily. Great songwriter, fine jazz pianist. He's missed - greatly.

 

Thanks, Rich. I (obviously) didn't know. She's responsible for a lot of good entertainment. Witty lady.

 

Well, if Bernie runs, it's clear the Democrats finally realized Joe Biden is just too young to be President!

 

Is VP Kamala D. Harris a potential Dem's Presidential candidate in 2024
in case President Biden due to his age decides to step aside?
Harris certainly tops the list of Democratic presidential hopefuls in 2024.

 

I hope Kamala Harris doesn't run. Too many people, on both sides of the aisle, still lose their absolute minds at the mere thought of a female president. It doesn't matter that other countries have female presidents and prime ministers, and may have had them for decades. Noooo, women "can't be leaders". It's divisive enough that I think that'd be too many people voting R simply because they'd be running a man, not because of any actual policies that man might have.

Maybe in 20 or 50 years, the USA will be ready for a female president. Not now. (I'd love to be proven wrong, though. I didn't think Obama would make it, either.)

 

And some for ...not so long. Here in Canada, about 30 years ago we had a female Prime Minister - Avril Phaedra Douglas "Kim" Campbell. I liked her. She appeared to have strength, a quick mind - and style. Unfortunately, the Rt. Hon. Kim Campbell lost that position less than six months later, when her party (Progressive Conservatives) suffered the worst election defeat in Canadian history, reducing it to insufficient numbers for official party status. I've often wished that had never happened.

I like Justin Trudeau - much more than I liked his late father as PM. But when the younger Mr. Trudeau hangs up his parliamentary guns, I hope that we can give another woman the chance to be PM. I've long had the feeling that women are the only ones who can save us men from ourselves, in the long run. But before they can, men in general have to accept that. And accept women in positions where they can carry out that mission. In some quarters, (not mine) that's a tough call. But I'm hoping.

 

I believe the first female president will be a Republican.

As we saw in 2016, a woman running for president is in for a political beat-down--primarily from conservatives. But if they ran one of their own they wouldn't do that--and that person would also be less subject to sexist attacks from the opposition.

Would conservatives back a female presidential candidate? I think so, especially given the number of female Republican governors we've seen.

I'm not precluding a female Democrat as the first, but I think it will come from the other party.

 

"Only Nixon could go to China"? Well, why not. Boebert or Green, take your pick.

I voted for Harris. I'd still vote for Harris but I don’t think she will run against Biden.

 

I don't think she does. She couldn't even perform well in the Democratic primaries. She was chosen because she is very different than Biden, in the same way that Biden was chosen because he was different than Obama. As a VP she's had few successes due to the intractable nature of her portfolio and regular reports come out about the VP's office being in shambles. I think Pete Buttigieg will run and he has a shot at winning.

 

I tend to agree. I don't want to agree with you but I do. I voted for Harris. I'd do it again in the hopes that I'm wrong though.

I like Rich's assessment that a Republican female candidate might have a better shot at it.

 

Agree, Harris will not run against President Biden, I was speculating for event if Biden wasn't running.

 

Yes, it was a scary strategy to me. Not a fan, perhaps I'm just less bothered with the idea of a decent Republican winning the seat?

 

I believe that there are more decent Republicans in the house and the senate than indecent ones. Unfortunately the indecent ones in the house seem to be calling the shots for the house Republican caucus though.

 

Here's one of the indecent Republicans. An election denier that recently lost as a Republican candidate. He was in prison for 7 years and the Republicans still nominated him for the seat he lost. He was just arrested for shootings into 6 Democrat homes in Nosbourne's home state!

It's important to note that it was Republican voters who nominated him. In a democratic republic, it's the people who choose their representatives.
