I'm guessing he created several handles in a rage and then plans to use them one at a time.
 
What’s interesting to me is that bkf would have been all in for Mayor Pete 10 years ago. He checks a lot of the RFK boxes.
 
BKF was all in for Bernie 3 years ago. He was the only "card carrying" socialist on the boards back in the day.

Is BKF Rosanne Barr? Their politics and the timing of their changes in their politics mirror each other incredibly closely.

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg officiated a couple’s wedding on Monday, less than an hour before the birth of their baby.

The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, explained in a Facebook post how he was enjoying some “unstructured time” at around 8:15 a.m. when the young couple, Mary and Gabe, paid him a visit.

Buttigieg was “just the person” they wanted to see, they told him. He noted in his post that he “saw the rare few minutes of free time I had left vanishing” with their appearance.

But, after they explained they were headed to the hospital for a C-section appointment at 9 a.m. and “were hoping they could be married before she delivered,” Buttigieg said there was “only one answer to that question.”

I'm in the Florida for Pete Buttigieg Facebook group and there is a fascinating coalition building there. It got to 1000 people last week and it's a mix of Progressive activists and Dem party folks, independents, and Republicans who are reminding each other that they need to change their party affiliation before the primary.

The NC group has 49 members...
 
Just checked. It's up to 1193 members. The mod announced it was at 500 members last Sunday.
 
He could be a good pick for VP. Saw a good interview with him.
 
to be honest, she was more "hot mom of 3yr old according to mid-30s dad while reading curious george at the library with his 3yo on his lap"

but she had crimson highlights and cool eye makeup, guys
 
the groveling is simply disgraceful and counterproductive, even Don Lemon agrees:

CNN host Don Lemon warned Democratic presidential candidates that they’re working to re-elect President Trump if they continue what he described as an “apology tour.”

On his show Monday night, Mr. Lemon downplayed the recent allegations of unwanted touching against former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and argued that “some things” warrant a “sense of humor.”

“It’s definitely reaching a peak now — the official Democrats apology tour,” he said.

“Don’t get me wrong. Nobody should be touching anybody inappropriately, OK? Men, women, nobody, period,” he said. “But we spent a lot of time in this country getting to the point where women feel like they can come forward and tell their stories, they have to be comfortable to come forward and tell their stories. And that is progress. That is very important for this country. And if you’ve done something wrong, then you should apologize. That’s true for all of us. Still, an awful lot of Democrats have been apologizing an awful lot lately.”

Two women have come forward alleging that Mr. Biden touched them without their consent, in a non-sexual way, and made them uncomfortable. Former congressional aide Amy Lappos said the former vice president grabbed her by the back of the head and pulled her in to rub noses during a 2009 fundraiser in Connecticut. Former Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores said Mr. Biden approached her from behind at a 2014 campaign event, smelled her hair and kissed the back of her head as she prepared to give a speech.

Mr. Biden, who has not yet formally announced a 2020 bid, denied that he acted inappropriately and said it was never his “intention” to make anyone uncomfortable.

On his show, Mr. Lemon appeared to suggest that an apology from Mr. Biden isn’t necessary. He played a montage of 2020 hopefuls giving their own apologies, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for her exaggerated claims of Native American heritage and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii for her anti-LGBTQ past.

“Can we have a sense of humor about some things?” Mr. Lemon said after the clip ended. “Let’s give all of them credit, though, for owning what they said, or what they’ve done. Some things are worth apologizing for and admitting when they’re wrong. And let’s face it, voters don’t expect people to elect a perfect person.

“Some things are worth apologizing for,” he added. “But some things are not. Let’s just be honest. Should you continue to look at things through a 2019 lens, from 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago? Otherwise, who would want to run for president? No one is perfect. If Democrats keep like this, good luck. Hashtag Trump 2020.”
