(Anonymous) Dude, watch your mouth.

 “There was a period after the campaign ended where there was intense trauma bonding,” said a fourth former campaign aide. “It was like, ‘What the fuck did we just go through?’”

Somebody doesn't want Marianne Williamson in this presidential race, putting Joe Biden on the spot at debates before his allegedly pre-ordained re-election...

She's become -- all these years later, we learn from numbered anonymous sources like the one cited  above -- another Sen. Amy Klobuchar -- DFL MN, who allegedly  threw things at campaign staffers and... something about a salad fork and comb?

“It would be foaming, spitting, uncontrollable rage,” said a former staffer, who, like most people that spoke with POLITICO, was granted anonymity because of their concern about being sued for breaking non-disclosure agreements. “It was traumatic. And the experience, in the end, was terrifying.”

Williamson would throw her phone at staffers, according to three of those former staffers. Her outbursts could be so loud that two former aides recounted at least four occasions when hotel staff knocked on her door to check on the situation. In one instance, Williamson got so angry about the logistics of a campaign trip to South Carolina that she felt was poorly planned that she pounded a car door until her hand started to swell, according to four former staffers. Ultimately, she had to go to an urgent care facility, they said. All 12 former staffers interviewed recalled instances where Williamson would scream at people until they started to cry. 

Remember when Coach Mike Ditka broke his hand hitting a locker?  lol.

Somebody needs to primary slow-old-Joe, who is busy putting this youngish, ever-changin' country in a rerun coma -- more unwanted wars, more bank bailouts, more non-citizen labor importation -- pretending the future conflicts and social problems can be... bought off, or left unaddressed as the current old people in power make themselves richer at the country's overall expense.

Bring on Marianne, and have some respect for truly Feminine power in politics after so many years of do-nothing decliners coasting in DC.  Call it a Spiritual Mystique... with a common-sense core. People who care aren't so bad, even if they holler and hit out when the staff fucks up. It means they want to do better at least.

People should have a choice. People who are citizens and can vote. I'd bet we would vote for Less War, More Choice, More Freedoms and Respect for Others.

Real Change.  She could run the same populist platform that attracted pick-off voters from the Establishment in 2016 by just pointing out that the current president has not been the moderating force keeping things calm and making things better as promised.  Remember that?  All the people in those primaries who dutifully dropped out and united behind the retired senior senator and ex-veep who was selected  because of his now faded promise?

Wouldn't you take Marianne Williamson over Ron DeSantis any day of the week? Think of what ugly he would usher into a country that needs no more divisions stoked.

Williamson would be an establishment upstart, in the mold of Carter and Trump, with the public Nice persona of the former (Carter).  We could do worse.
