Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."Comment

Wrong.
Being a hugger, toucher and openly affectionate does not equate to harassment unless the person is informed that their manner is unwelcome and yet they continue.
Many people, including myself, use their hands when they talk. They touch to emphasize points and communicate things like empathy, compassion and understanding.
You may not, but many do. And yes if you are a don't touch me kind of person, which is totally understandable, it can be uncomfortable, seem strange or creepy.
However to automatically equate this behavior with sexual intent without further evidence is short sighted.
I'm not saying I don't believe Reade, but I haven't convicted Biden yet either.
Like I said before, they need to give the woman a chance to prove her accusation, then respond appropriately.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

My resume:
I have never been accused of sexual harrassment and/or rape.
I have never declared bankruptcy 6 times to avoid paying people.
I don’t have a home brew server in my bathroom so conversations about my yoga plans are secure.
I don’t have Twitter.
I’m not rapidly rushing towards senility.
My platform:
I won’t pal around with brutal dictators.
I won’t pick a fight with every reporter who asks a tough question.
My kids won’t be on the board with any foreign corporations earning millions for no show jobs.
I won’t drone bomb weddings in the Middle East.
At the end of my term, I won’t manufacture a crisis to sabotage the next President.Comment

A couple of changes from Cook Political.
Georgia now has both its senate races as lean R as the Perdue race moves from Likely to lean. A few polls have shown that race tightening and it now becomes the 9th senate seat that Republicans will defend that are in the Lean or tossup range where Democrats have the Jones race as a lean R and Peters in MI as a Lean D. I think Montana and Iowa may well wind up true tossups going into election day. Democrats may not win the senate but they have a lot more ways to do it this time than in 2018.
Trump and Biden were within 1 point in a recent poll but Cook has not moved it to a tossup yet and explained more here. Personally, Georgia won't be the tipping point in 2020 but gains in Georgia and Texas matter long term as pushing two states that have been reliably red for decades to purple would open up the electoral map.
Unlikely to mean anything just like Mitch being in a Likely and not safe state, but Harrison is doing a good job trying make a race of this against Graham.

Since CBB is just a troll unwilling to back up his bullshit, I'll ask you. I agree with everything you listed above, but most of it is pretty low-bar personal stuff which most ordinary people could pass under. Nothing mentioned about the budget.
How does Libertarianism function during this pandemic? Would you slash government funding for the response? Would you further privatize health care and education and continue to deny the public necessity of M4A? No more lockdown I guess, since people will need to work without any social safety net, right? Bailouts for devastated industries? Would the millions of people who received testing or medical care for Covid be covered for that care? Or would they pay the "fair market rate"? How would you handle the Michigan protesters showing up with no masks, coughing in the faces of public servants with assault rifles in hand? Libertarians are much more likely to support such idiocy, fighting against government intervention, even in a pandemic. (Am I wrong?) How would you get elected catering to these idiots' desire to remove gov't from their lives?
Covid-19 exposes Libertarianism for how completely unworkable it is. Prove me wrong.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."Comment

Yeah, I was making a joke, not actually making a run for the Libertarian nomination. Most of my views I have repeated ad nausem in here—no one needs to read them again.
To Quickly sum up as briefly as I can: I feel about your socialist leaning views how you feel about my libertarian views. Enjoy your day.Comment
