Cory Booker announces he is running for president

What I remember of Senator Booker is that he made a fool of himself during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. His accomplishments as a senator leave a lot to be desired.

At least he didn't try to justify rape.
 
Sorry to those I didn't respond to in the last thread. Grown up stuff to do, too much stupid to respond to, and so little time to do it in the great state of Ohio. Anyway, I woke up to the news that Spartacus is running. Wow, the sexual harasser finally decided he wants to run. It would have been better if he was dressed in slave clothing, with a bunch of other Leftists behind him, and should have said "I AM SPARTACUS" instead of a video. I tell you what, we've got a great collection of freaks in the Democrat field, don't we? You could make a sitcom out of it:

-Cory Booker as Spartacus - the man who touches other women inappropriately and says "this is my 'I am Spartacus' moment."

-Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas - a 1/1024 Native American who performs her sacred rituals with a video and a beer.

-Kamala Harris as The Mistress - a woman who kicked off her career sleeping with a mayor in California and telling him that she wants to abolish his and everyone's private parts.

-Bernie Sanders as Crazy Bernie - the old, socialist, secular Jew who never earned a paycheck until the age of 40, wants the banks to pay for his 3 homes, and hates billionaires and millionaires, while being one himself.

-Kirsten Gillebrand as The Blonde - the very same woman with no accomplishments to her name (and a little ditzy, thinking that she does), but is a preppy and very spirited person, who can be fun and witty.

-Pete Buttigieg as Mayor Butt - a homosexual mayor from the provocatively named town of South Bend, he's what the media calls a scholar, and failed at his bid for the DNC chairman, so who knows what else might come up, or out, the poop shoot.

-Tulsi Gabbard as G.I. Tulsi - a former soldier who's anti-war, but accepts money from the defense industry, and flips on her positions so she can "adapt" to the battlefield.

And the cast is growing as the march to the first primaries continues on, under the title "The Leftie Bunch." Coming to a debate late 2019. I tell you what, I'd pay to see that show.
 
Actually copping a feel of another teenager's breast while you're kissing her isn't sexual assault, especially when she didn't say no.
Actually she pushed him away if you had paid attention to the article, but involves facts that you don't like.
He reached for her breast, and when she swatted his hand away, he made another attempt.

We all know the story. If it's sexual assault, most American boys would be arrested before they turn 18.

Statutes of limitations please look up the term.
 
The same could be said for you and Republicans.

the issue is that all of these people are going to have to trash burn and destroy each other as to who is the biggest liberal of them all.
they are going to have to move so far to the left that they will never be able to move back center for the general.
they will have to run on their extremist platform from the get go.
 
Have you been to Newark lately? I worked there all through the 1980s and it was one of the worst cities in the country. I was just there recently for the first time in many years, at a Devils game. I can not believe the difference in the city. It isn't even the same. Booker did a great job as mayor. I still can't stand the place, but I felt completely safe there.

It's changed a lot, that's for sure. The addition of the Red Bulls stadium in Harrison also helped develop the surrounding area; the downtown Newark area has been improved as well. It's still has a lot of grit in the outlying areas though, but all change takes time.

You are so right. What he should have written is this:

I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. Then all of a sudden I see her, and I think she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. I wanted to see if her tits were real. So I'm thinking, at 15, I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a high school football and academic star, they let you do it. You can do anything. I could even grab 'em by the *****. I could have done anything.

Then he would have been a hero of Trump Fan Nation.

Yes, she pushed him away. Or rather "swatted" him away. As they were fumbling and kissing on the bed.

No idea what the "statute of limitations" has to do with what I said. You want all 15 year old boys who try to touch another teenager's breast arrested. Lobby your Congressional rep for that. I'll bet it'll be a real popular endeavor, because we should be tossing all 15 year old boys in Juvie for trying to cop a feel.
 
The field gets more and more interesting. The GOP have a problem...old white man with questionable morals and mental capacity vs young vibrant men or women.

Of course this means the Dems will choose an old white man... Murphy's law...

I worked at 550 Broad for 5 years back in the 80s. Oh was it scary. I even witnessed a stabbing death right in front of my building one lunch hour. That's why I was so shocked at how nice it is now.

It still has bad areas. Springfield Avenue seemed to not be much better than it was then. Same with the area near the Colonnade Apartments. But even the Broad Street station, which I used to commute to and never walked to alone, looked like it could have been in Millburn.

Booker cleaned that city up, no question.
 
Sparticus!

Oh dear Lord....Now we have to listen to that phony for the next two years? Just the fake whiny voice tactics alone will be enough to make some regurgitate....

TDS post. we are not talking about trump we are talking about booker.
please stay on topic.

this has nothing to do with trump but booker do you not understand?
probably not.

please show me where i said i wanted all boys arrested?
can you no you can't why?

because you are so hate filled that you can't write a simple response.
It is the left's standards to hold people accountable for what they did 20 30 40 years ago.
not mine.

booker is a hypocrite and a POS.
but i guess that is ok as long as you have a D beside your name you get a pass.
your post is yet another TDS rant of nonsense.

Oh no! It's awesome! Personally, I think they are both two extreme, and too much flash/not enough substance to win the nomination. But the competition should be entertaining... East Coast vs. West Coast. New Jersey Boy vs the California Girl. They are already fighting for the support of the congressional black caucus. You saw the fireworks during the Kavanaugh hearing. It can only get better!

More seriously, they are both at least nominally qualified, with solid backgrounds and some executive experience. They've been active in the Senate and in their party. The more qualified candidates we have in the mix, the better.

That isn't TD's post. he's not in this thread. It's mine.

I'm on topic. It's about Booker sharing his story while he was in Stamford. You don't like what I think he should have written to make that situation palatable? We're talking about sexual assault, aren't we? Or do you not want to talk about sexual assault?

yes it is a TDS post. you went on another one of your rants about trump in a thread that has nothing to do with trump.
that is what TDS is.

this is about booker and his self admitted sexual assault. Trump has nothing to do with the topic.

in any event according to bookers own standards he isn't fit for office.
not that you care.

What you think he should have written is irrelevant to the discussion. so he and the democratic party is going to hold him to
their own standards of sexual assault on women or he is going to get a pass because he is a democrat and the party doesn't give a **** because of it.

so now that you are back on booker instead of trump maybe you can actually have a discussion but i doubt it.

It isn't Turtle Dude's post. It's mine. He's not posting in this thread yet.

So every 15 year old boy who is kissing a girl and fumbles for her breast is committing sexual assault. You better let the authorities know that so they can be out arresting every 15 year old boy who does it.

They just put someone on the Supreme Court who did way worse. The right is disqualified from any kvetching about secual assault.

These people are absolutely radioactive hypocrites.
 
I really liked Ron Paul, and I respected John McCain. I'd like to hear what Democrats Bucky actually does like.

Ron Paul is a Libertarian.

And I'm sure Bucky would love a Democrat who did to the Democrats what McCain did to the Republicans.
 
just another loon added to the bag of loons that are running for president for democrats.
i guess they didn't learn their lesson from clinton.

i would rather vote for the star bucks guy than any of those nut jobs.



You need to back off of Spartacus.
 
Glad he is throwing his hat in the ring.

He will make the democrats look worse.

He will also have his ass handed to him.

YES, it is sexual assault. Sexual assault isn't determined by age. It's shocking you'd lighten it up or trivialize it with the crap you pasted before. For your memory convenience, here's the actual piece he wrote in 1992:

Exact Title
So Much For Stealing Second

Exact Quote
New Year’s Eve 1984 I will never forget. I was 15. As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss. As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next ‘move’ as if it were a chess game. With the “Top Gun” slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my “mark.”

Our groping ended soon and while no “relationship” ensued, a friendship did. You see, the next week in school she told me that she was drunk that night and didn’t really know what she was doing.

Truth is he's damaged goods from the start. The MeToo and women's groups would become total hypocrites if they endorse someone like him.

Why do you place such an emphasis on age, race, and sex? None of those characteristics should matter as those are all traits you are born with and can't change.
