LOL! Joe Biden's response when being told Trump is going to Russia for a May Day parade is priceless!

Comes in around the 4 minute mark of the video:

Black man beaten while restrained in a restraining chair. Almost no media attention

I posted a few days ago about the woman in Boulder because I was extremely upset about that. However, her story got picked up by all kinds of National media even Inside Edition. Here is a black man getting beaten in a similar situation and almost no media attention.

Here is one possibility where I might switch to Biden

If as we get closer to voting, polls in swing states show Warren struggling against Trump and Biden stronger. States like PA, WI, MI, FL, AZ.

My top priority is beating Trump. I will absolutely not take any chances period! Now if polls in those states show Biden and Warren about the same then I will stick with Warren.

Editing to say I really like Biden. I just like Warren more. I like all the candidates!

'A nightmare scenario' for Republicans: GOP panicking as voters increasingly abandon party

‘A nightmare scenario’ for Republicans: GOP panicking as voters increasingly abandon party in the Trump era

Published 2 hours ago on November 10, 2019By Tom Boggioni



A Washington Post report on this past week’s election in Virginia pointed out that the Republican Party is grappling with how to stem the flow of previously reliable voters who are turning their backs on them and either voting for Democrats or straying home and sitting out elections.

As the report notes, “A GOP candidate hasn’t won statewide office in Virginia since 2009. On Tuesday, Democrats gained majorities in both houses of the General Assembly for the first time in a generation; the House of Delegates swung from a 66-34 Republican edge in 2017 to a 55-45 Democratic advantage for next year’s session.”

Republican campaign manager Daniella Propati watched as her candidate for the House of Delegates, GayDonna Vandergriff, lost despite running on a campaign accusing her opponent of “socialism” which apparently made no impact on voters.

“Republicans — we’ve been running campaigns in Virginia the same way for 20 years,” Propati said. “We need to come together and say, ‘What do we need to do next time?’ ”

The one positive thing Trump has unwittingly done

His evil incompetence has inspired tens of thousands of good people who were never political before to run for office because they felt a calling. The lady on the bike who flipped Trump's motorcade off is a good example of this. I think AOC is also part of this inspired movement against darkness. These types of people are pure of heart! Like MLK Jr and the Civil Rights Movement, they are entering politics not for power but because they are good people who see a clear and present danger and our society and Government crumbling. They will be the guardian angels of the pure ideals of our Democracy and maybe for the first time in a long time we will begin to see some real, honest, well meaning changes begin to blossom. They give me hope in this very dark time.

The times they are a changin

As the rat gets further back in the corner and sees an election loss coming and a shit load of legal

jeopardy after he leaves office; what illegal things should the FBI and Democrats be prepared to watch out for as Trump attempts to stay in office? I really think if he gets desperate he will push hard on election fraud and could really incriminate himself because he is that stupid. The other rats don't want to go down with the ship and so he could be walking into all kinds of traps. I predict he is going to do a slew of incriminating things at the end and make things much worse for himself. It's so in his character! He is as dumb as a rock and a cornered stupid rat is extremely dangerous and extremely vulnerable to getting trapped!

Thoughts?
