    When a woman asks a tough question, he calls it "nasty." 

    The word "nasty" has a totally different connotation than "mean." Almost like "You're a nasty bitch for asking that question." This isn't isolated. You can find plenty of examples online.

    He's one sick farker.

    Being a functional illiterate is always 24/7/365 for President Pinocchio and band of idiots who serve his corrupt agenda at the cost of most Americans  More every day Americans are catching on to this snake oil show. So get ready for Joe Biden & Son ! And say goodbye to ,The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns ,The “genius” who hides his college grades,The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years ,The “playboy” who pays for sex ,The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church or read the bible,The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity; like the Veterans,The “patriot” who dodged the draft”,The “innocent man” who refuses to testify,The “married family man” who is divorced twice and had affairs behind the backs of each of his 3 wives including the current one,The “hard working and minimal golfer” who has golfed more then most modern day Presidents in his first term…..and we have payed Trump over $115 million to golf at his own resort so he can pocket our money. .....And heaven awaits ?

    Trump comes off as the delusional out of touch chump that he is. He might as well quit going to pressers because he comes off as a snobby rude jerk and that is because he IS that way.

    Not saying that Biden or Sanders are so much better but they would not come off as some disinterested bully as Trump does. At least that ultra-right wing Pence knows how to act in front of the press and how to address people. Trump is just used to dictating and telling people off but it isnt like the goofy GOP clowns didnt know that already...maybe now that it is impacting THEM, the selfish dopes will start reconsidering that this clown is better suited cheating on the golf course and eating his McDonalds on his yacht vs in charge of something important like this country.

    After Khashoggi ran into financial problems, he sold the yacht in 1988 to the Sultan of Brunei, who in turn sold her to Donald Trump for $29 million. After a refit, Trump renamed her Trump Princess. Then she was sold in 1991 to Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal for $20 million.

    This dope lost 9 million on the sale of his yacht even after a refit.

    Joe Biden is vetting 7 women as he looks for a running mate.

    I hope he doesn't pick Kamala Harris. I want her to be the country's Attorney General.

    It’s a shame he doesn’t talk to Andrew Cuomo, if it’s a women I’d think Amy Klobuchar is the logical choice she has more experience and is closer to the Middle.

    Really?  What reasons do you like her for that post?  Instead of VP?  Not saying anything would happen to JB. But he is older and she for sure would be front runner as VP in ‘24 instead of AG?

    Not sure ‘middle’ is what the boisterous want at this time though.

    Other than replacing the President due to death, the VP doesn't really do too much. But as AG, Harris can bring a law and order perspective that is missing with Roy Cohn right now. I know many in Cali have an opinion she didn't so so well in that role but she makes sense to me when she speaks which is rarely found in politics. I also believe she will do what is best for the country and not the rich and powerful. We need the DOJ to have a leader that respects their work & efforts to keep the country safe.

    This Kamala:?

    pointed out that as California’s AG, Harris refused to allow DNA testing that would’ve exonerated a death-row inmate and prosecuted more than 1,000 marijuana cases—though as a candidate she later laughed with a radio host about her own pot-smoking past.

     

    case of Daniel Larsen. After 11 years of incarceration, a federal judge ruled that he was innocent. Harris kept him in prison for two more years while she appealed this decision on a technicality: She argued that Larsen hadn’t provided proof in a timely manner.

     

    first was as a pro bono habeas investigator trying to free an innocent young man named Eric Frimpong from prison. The second was as an author chronicling the wrongful civil prosecution of a California company by both the State of California and the Department of Justice. In both, the deputy attorneys general working for Harris, if not at her behest, seemed less concerned with doing justice than with keeping the conviction count up and scoring a payday for the state.

     

    As a recent piece from Lara Bazelon in theNew York Timesdetails, Harris was far from the “progressive prosecutor” that she has tried to rebrand herself as in recent days.

    For example: When Harris was San Francisco’s district attorney in 2010, she was condemned by a judge for staying silent about a police laboratory technician who had been accusedof stealing drugs and “intentionally sabotaging” her work. She could have and should have warned defense lawyers about this technician’s wrongdoings, but she chose not to — and even went so far as to contest the condemnation, claiming that the judge had done so only out of bias because her husband was a defense attorney. Harris eventually lost this argument, and more than 600 cases that had been handled by the technician were tossed out.

    Kamala is certainly the wrong pick.  There are plenty of other good choices for AG and VP.  Biden and Klobuchar are the worst combination ever.  Biden really needs to extend an olive branch to the progressive wing and pick Tulsi or something to trick the Bernie supporters into showing up for the polls.  If they go MIA like they did in 2016, Trump is going to get re-elected.

    This Kamala:?

    Also in 2014, the California attorney general’s office (during Harris’s time as attorney general) opposedthe release of nonviolent inmates on the grounds that “prisons would lose an important labor pool.” To be fair, Harris later claimed that she did not know about this and was “shocked” to read about it in the newspaper, but it still supports the narrative that her office was not quite as progressive as she’d probably like you to believe.

    Oh, and there’s more. Within the past year, we may have seen Harris tweetingmessages of support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement, but in 2015, she actually “opposed a bill requiring her office to investigate shootings involving officers,” according to Bazelon, who added that Harris had also “refused to support statewide standards regulating the use of body-worn cameras by police officers.” So much for her record on officer accountability.

     

    In 2010, a California Superior Court judge declared that as San Francisco district attorney, Harris had violated defendants’ rights by hiding damaging informationabout a police drug-lab technician and was indifferent to demands that that the lab account for its failings. The crime-lab technician had been convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence in 2008; district attorneys are obligated to hand over to the defense information about prosecution witnesses that could be used to challenge their credibility. Prosecutors’ failure to disclose the information about the technician led to the dismissal of more than 600 drug cases.

    Some have asked tough questionsabout whether Harris, as San Francisco district attorney, did everything she could to root out abuse in the local Catholic churches. Prosecutors had obtained personnel files from the Archdiocese of San Francisco dealing with sexual abuse going back decades. But her office did not prosecute any priests, and she argued that those records were not subject to public-records laws:

    Harris’s most financially significant decision as state attorney general came in 2012, when she negotiated a $25 billion settlement deal with the nation’s five largest mortgage companies (Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, CitiFinancial, GMAC/Ally Financial, and Wells Fargo) after the companies were accused of improper foreclosure practices.

    This Kamala:?

    By 2013, the state reported that California homeowners had received $18.4 billion in mortgage relief from the deal. When all was said and done, roughly 33,000 homeowners received an average reduction of $137,280 on their first mortgage. That sounds like a lot until one looks at the scale of the problem: More than 600,000 Californians received a foreclosure notice in 2009, and in 2012, when the agreement was struck, more than 30 percent of California homeowners with mortgages owed more than their houses were worth.

    One bank that was not part of Harris’s settlement was California-based OneWest. A 2013 internal memo from the California attorney general’s office, first published by The Intercept, alleged that OneWest and its CEO, Steven Mnuchin, violated state foreclosure laws and recommended filing charges against him. Prosecutors claimed they had “uncovered evidence suggestive of widespread misconduct” and “identified over a thousand legal violations.”

    But Harris, the state attorney general, did not pursue charges. She later told The Hill, “We went and we followed the facts and the evidence, and it’s a decision my office made. We pursued it just like any other case. We go and we take a case wherever the facts lead us.”

    If anyone finds someone offering any odds related to this year's presidential election NOT taking place in November as scheduled, please let me know. Dead serious. I know it sounds like betting that there will be no score in the super bowl, but I like my chances of getting a big payday. It's a crazy "new normal' world now.

    Relax. I'm unvaxxed!

    Don't sell yourself short, this is a waaaay better proposition than no score in the Super Bowl. This actually has legs. I wouldn't bet the farm because I think this will taper off with the season as the flu does. (Not saying corona viruses are "like" the flu. They are seperate and unrelated but they are spread like flu, and will seasonal much the sams.)
