Joy Reid Debuts with all barrels loaded

Joy Reid brought the big guns on for her debut prime time episode.

Hillary Clinton with Joy Reid

ICYMI Hillary joined Joy for an interview that aired on Saturday morning. Here are some excerpts.

Here are a few stills Joy shared on Facebook.
 

Food for Thought: Taco Trucks on Every Corner! YES!

Wishing everyone a lovely and safe holiday weekend. It promises to be a blustery one on the east coast, so batten down the hatches and be sure you have necessary supplies.

One thing Americans do over summer holiday weekends is party. We barbeque or bring pot luck to the picnic.

This guy, who visited Joy Reid last night when she was filling in for Chris Hayes at All In seems not to understand, nor does Trump whom he was representing, that assimilation is a two-way street.

Yay! #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner https://t.co/x1MsI4KQB4

Immigrants quickly adopt American holidays, and Americans tend to be inclusive about immigrant contributions.  Especially when it comes to food, Americans welcome a broad array of traditions. 
So when Marco Gutierrez, founder of the group Latinos for Trump, issued what he thought was a dire warning, Americans were all a-Twitter with the hashtag #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner.  They were most creative!

#TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner? Some Americans think that actually sounds pretty delicious. https://t.co/ZCVCPpeTci pic.twitter.com/jixleBC64s

Democrats hopped on the taco truck with gusto!  Forthwith, there was a taco truck parked outside Trump's Colorado headquarters serving lunch and registering voters.

The twitterstorm was quickly usurped by the whole Hillary 2016 movement where convoys of taco trucks came to represent what most saw as positive all the way around, for the country and the economy.

Whatever apocalyptic visions Gutierrez sought to communicate, Americans on Twitter embraced the concept and even a few tweets from the UK and the Netherlands bespoke a desire for a candidate who would bring taco trucks to London and Amsterdam, Brexit notwithstanding.

The most popular comment was, "Dude, you said that like it was a bad thing!"  So far, no one has figured out what was supposed to be so awful. Seems impossible to find  anyone who isn't down with #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner.

¡Sí se puede! We are so there!  As opposed to this at Beau's (apparently a sandwich tractor).

Like #Trump himself, an unappetizing choice that lacks any appeal. Let's have tacos instead #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner pic.twitter.com/OXWcUi3yTK

One thing is for certain.  There is broad agreement in the Democratic ranks that November 8, 2016 will be #TacoTuesday!






On a serious note, if you are facing the storm this weekend, we pray you stay safe. I can say this. When Superstorm Sandy blew my house to pieces, the contractor who had scaffolding up within days was Mexican.  I did not ask to see his documents before he started closing up my poor, damaged home.  I didn't care.  My insurance company didn't care, and my town officials didn't care either.  I hope no one has that kind of weekend.

Wishing everyone a Happy Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, falafels, Korean BBQ, sushi, kebabs, French fries, General Tso's,and tacos.  Who's bringing the guacamole?  The sangria is on me!  Pour yourself a nice frosty margarita or cerveza and join the fun here >>>>

 

Joy Reid to Bernie Sanders: Tell the Truth

All I would add, that Joy fails to point out, is that "Hillary's PUMAs," as she calls us, consolidated specifically over the 05/31/08 RBC decisions re: Florida and Michigan. I had never seen delegates taken from one candidate and reassigned to another before, as happened with the Michigan delegates.  I have not seen it since. I still see that as outrageous. Filing deadlines mean something.

As to the seating of Florida delegates (it was decided that half would be seated), these were elected delegates chosen by Florida voters who dutifully voted in their primary. The argument was between the Florida DC and the DNC over when that primary should have been held.  Democrats voted in good faith.  There is no parallel to unelected delegates not being seated in Nevada since they were unelected and were not registered Democrats as of May 1 of this year.  Registration deadlines mean something.

Hillary was as good as her word to support the ticket and launched "Hillary Sent Me." Yes, supporters peeled off.  Some have never returned to the party. Some joined the Tea Party and turned against her viciously.  Hillary Clinton did her darnedest to pull the party together. 

Reid is right. Now it is Bernie's turn.  Feeding an anti-DNC and  anti-Hillary frenzy only helps Donald Trump.

GET IT TOGETHER

05.18.16

Come on, Bernie, Time to Level With Your Dreamers

He must stop indulging his people’s fantasies, tell them the truth about the math—and get them to stop with all the nasty about Clinton.

Soon and very soon, Bernie Sanders is going to have to help his most ardent fans confront the fact of his defeat. How he does so will help to determine his legacy.

That is not meant to disparage the campaign or the candidate, despite the vitriol that’s sure to start flooding into my Twitter timeline right now. It’s a statement of mathematical fact. As of today, no matter what happens in Kentucky (or Oregon, or Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, D.C. or even mighty California), Hillary Clinton is going to be the Democratic nominee.
