Best part of her “shattering” the world record? Her record was broken in the next heat.
It was Friday, October 12, and both women were hanging out at the master’s track world championships, held this year in Carson, California. Erickson did McKinnon’s track bike fit last summer, and she wanted a pic with her client after McKinnon broke the 200-meter sprint world record for women in the 35-39 age bracket.
The record only stood for a few minutes until another cyclist—Sarah Fader of Boulder, Colorado—broke it again. Erickson noted this detail in her post, but it didn’t matter. Within minutes of McKinnon sharing her achievement online, negative comments flooded the post.

I still want Buttigeig to be the VP for Warren. We need someone who can take the Fundies by the balls as a liberal Episcopalian and being a gay male makes up for the white aspect. The religious right needs to be put in their place.

Yeah, but that’s sort of a retread of the Great Gay Scaremongering of the 80s and early 90s. oh muh gawdzzz! we can’t be havin’ some gay boy teachin the PE, they’ll be seeing our boys naked in the locker room… and ya just know them lezbianas are going to be lookin at our gurls in the showers!!!
This is a new angle which is really weird (to me at least) because I can’t imagine any male athlete would be willing to sit out a year to undergo hormone therapy as part of a transition just so they could win a competition. And that’s basically how they try and frame these stories for their audience… a cross-dressing guy just trying to beat up on women in sports.

Carryover from last thread
[Embedded content]
Thanks one and all for support and good wishes
Time to call it a night. Have a good one, Lizards.
I don’t deny Bernie’s appeal. What I really worry about Bernie is I don’t like who he has surrounded himself with and I really think a lot of his supporters don’t know what a President actually does. When I say, I want an anti-Trump to replace Trump. I mean someone in personality too. Bernie reminds me way too much of Trump sometimes and it’s a shame that some people I know who are genuinely progressive minded can’t see that because they see his promises and ignore the truth which is that the guy’s a bit of a dick but even if he weren’t, I would be very concerned after this heart attack. He’d turn 80 his first year in office and he’s had a heart attack. If we knew Trump had a heart attack, we would rightfully make it an issue.
I actually while I think Biden is too old do trust his judgment to surround himself with capable people. What I worry about with Biden is yes his age but also I think he’s a little too naive about the opposition.
re: #142 Belafon
Yeah, but by your criteria, Biden and Sanders should be struggling to get money.
Sanders won’t struggle so long as he has an army of folks willing to blindly follow him anywhere. He’s like a left wing version of Trump in that regard.

In those three years of teaching, I also did on average 100-200 miles a week at least cycling. My favorite route took me past the home of Izzy Stradlin, and I lived about 1/2 from Jefferson High School where Izzy and Bill Bailey went to school.

Let’s select the incapable option. Even the few people left in the country who would work for trump realise this is the worst job in the US and only those going insane with power - or who can’t get a job anyplace else would want to do it.
It would seem the GOP in congress are the only folks left who want to work for trump & I have no idea why that is so. They have their judges, they have their tax cut, why not impeach him now?

I do love how 75% of the Dem presidential field and about 90% of the political press have jumped to Tulsi’s side and continued to decide that the worst thing that could ever happen in politics is Hillary Clinton being right about anything.
Very on key, very on-brand. Very fucking exhausting.

She doesn’t need an explanation. The Great Dread Hilbeast subtweeted her, therefore she must be objectively good and objectively unimpeachable.
A reminder that when approached with an offer of information from the Russian government offering dirt on a political opponent, Trump Jr. responded “If it’s what you say it is, I love it,” brazenly and serially lied about it, and then refused to speak to federal investigators. https://t.co/rJKw2upslq

re: #141 HappyWarrior
I like her too. Silly thing to say I agree but it’s all gotten so absurd now. Kamala to me represents the new generation of leaders, someone who isn’t as naive about their Republican colleagues as Biden is but not as leftism or bust like Bernie is.
I like Kamala on her own merits. Not in comparison to anything but the raw needs the Office of the President will have. “Okay, better than Trump” is an inadequate measure. We need a firebrand smart as anyone in the office lately. Older is a bad idea, sorry to say.

re: #221 Weaselone
I believe the the rest of us would drag Bernie over the finish line if he were nominated despite the sure knowledge that after holding our noses and providing the votes that actually won Bernie the election, we’ be subjected to obnoxious crowing by the bros.
If Bernie’s in the general, we’re going to need VERY thick skins! Either he will win and his bots will gloat. Or, he will lose, and his bots will gloat like McGovern in 1972.
Of course I would vote for Bernie Sanders in a general election.
But if he became president, his administration would likely become a dumpster fire, differing from Trump’s dumpster fire mainly by the absence of criminality flowing directly from the top.

So it’s best we vote for Trump so we can impeach him.
re: #161 goddamnedfrank
I also thought the Twitter thing was kind of weird to campaign on but the difference between the things that are allowed to hurt Harris and the genuinely fucked up bullshit that Bernie, Biden, Warren and even Buttigieg are allowed to skate on is goddamned stark. Maybe Harris shouldn’t have kept repeating something that should have just been a one-off observation, but all she’s really saying is that Twitter should enforce its goddamned rules, which shouldn’t be controversial.
Harris was Hillary’ed from the very beginning. The BernieBros and Bots were out in full force to destroy her (as they are to destroy Warren). Every candidate has flaws and social media can do a good number on destroying anyone’s standing, especially if the Russians have decided you are a threat. Most people judge based on rumors they have heard without having the interest, skill, or time to really investigate the truth. And the MSM has proved of little value in pursuing and publishing the truth.

And now we’re seeing the campaign to ‘Hillary’ Warren again, this time in earnest. Showing it doesn’t matter who, they’re going to try and tear down any Dem candidate, but especially the strong female ones.
Soooooooooo C3PO dies.
That’s my takeaway.

The wife and I played hooky today and hit the city for the day. We planned to go to the Hard Rock to see the items they’re auctioning off this weekend (Cobain’s custom Fender Mustang is among them), but all they had on exhibit was Madonna’s ‘Like A Virgin’ dress and some clothes that Olivia Newton-John wore in ‘Grease.’ So we hit the Highline instead and ended up in the amazing Vessel at Hudson Yards.
We made it up to 8 of the 10 stories before it just got too skeery. Pretty amazing.
For those of you who friended me on Facebook, there are a bunch of photos here.
I’m doing the math here and it looks really fucking bad guys.
Just so we’re clear, Rudy Giuliani has been on TV waving a deposition by corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin, made on behalf of indicted oligarch Firtash to avoid extradition to the US, as “proof” of Biden’s supposed wrongdoing, without telling anyone that Firtash is his client. https://t.co/vxsTSk6WPr

So to break it down. Bill Barr deliberately hid the ongoing criminal investigation of Rudy Giuliani from the head of the DOJ Criminal Division & let him meet with Giuliani, the President’s private lawyer, about a criminal proceeding involving a player in Trump’s conspiracy theory
