He is perfectly willing to work with foreign intelligence agencies to help him win, as we already have seen. There are no rules.

It's pretty easy to see why Biden is incredibly defeatable; one needs only bring up his years of shitty votes and legislation and his crappy rhetoric from the past.

Let's please not go down this road with Biden. He's a loser on the presidential level. Third time isn't the charm.
I honestly don't think that stuff matters in 2020 because lol nothing matters.

He ain't my first or 5th choice but I think he'd win. I also think any of the top like, 5 would win. Biden, Bernie, Harris, Warren, Pete. Maybe Klobuchar, Beto, Booker, and some other too.

I think Biden has enough top level support that the 3rd party defectors won't matter as much like they did with Stein.

Speaking of Stein, should we be concerned that there will be a Russian-backed third party candidate hammering swing states as either a more progressive alternative to the nominee (if it’s Biden) or a more moderate alternative (if it’s anyone else)?

Trump administration has a lot of similarities to the LA Lakers.

1. You are either a huge fan, or delight in seeing them fail. It's hard to be neutral.
2. Both are filled with people in the wrong roles
3. Both want to drain the swamp of recent past administrations, but find they can only bring in mercenaries, has-beens, and never-beens
4. Arrogant leadership at the top
5. Leadership who would rather be tweeting than working
6. Leadership enjoys using the press to manage their popularity, but with little success
7. Daddy thought that the opportunities afforded by the team/administration would improve their side businesses, but instead, the businesses went into the shitter as the brand is viewed as increasingly toxic.
8. Neither are "sick and tired of all the winning" that was promised.

"Why is President Obama allowed to use Air Force One on the campaign trail with Crooked Hillary? She is flying with him tomorrow. Who pays?"


Trump tweeted in July 4, 2016. Seemed like a good time to dredge up an old tweet to reflect on general hypocrisy.

McConnell said he'd be fine with confirming a Supreme Court Justice in Trump's last year.

Boy, who could've seen this happening?!

There are not many people in this world that I dislike more than Donald but Mitch McConnell is close.

McConnell is a parody, right? He's not a person, but some avatar of the absurd.

Mueller is having a press conference at 11am. Bet he announces his candidacy for president

That news seems nothing short of bizarre. The guy has been a shadow the whole time, and now he is having a presser? Be prepared for disappointment. I think it will be something like, 'I did my job, and my job is done. I will not be taking questions, thank you.'

CNN reporting Mueller statement will be "substantial."

That would be substantial.

I bet he announces that he meant to actually say instead of just imply "total exoneration".
