More, please, Joe. This ain’t your 1990s GOP. The 2019-20 version will sell your vital organs and betray your country to save their own asses.

FIGHT. BACK.

“I am disappointed, and quite frankly I’m angered by the fact — he knows me,” Biden said. “He knows my son. He knows there’s nothing to this.”

If Biden can turn Miz. Lindsey back from the Dark Side, then I’ll know he’s got that bi-partisan mojo workin’ and I’ll vote for him (in the primary. Definitely in the general if it comes to that). Otherwise . . .

Trashing the Ukranians? Low, Biden. Please disappear.

“They have him under their thumb right now,” Biden told CNN’s Don Lemon, referring to Graham.

“Well you should have seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn’t a [thumb], believe me.”

Maybe this is what it looks like to disagree without being disagreeable.
Hard to say. It’s been a while.

Lindseymat* is plan C, after plan A failed (Kelensky announces investigation) and plan B came up empty (Barr’s excellent world tour for fake intelligence).

Glad to see Biden finally swinging back against this blizzard of hateful b.s., whether one supports him in the primary or not.

Lindsey despised Trump before he embraced him. Lindsey spoke highly of Biden before he betrayed him.

Drag him, Joe!

Good answer. Even the GOP’s witnesses said this was bullshit.

Just call it that.

Were the state department to provide these materials to Graham wouldn’t that undermine their refusal to respond to similar demands from house democrats?

That’s fucking absurd and you know damn well it’s not a fair pre-condition. Graham has been entirely co-opted and is as owned by Trump, his own self-interest and his personal white nationalism as the rest of them and the fact of his behavior over the past couple years proves him an irredeemable tribalist white nationalist kkklown.

Biden did not trash the Ukrainians. He said they didn’t yield to trump, which is positive and true.

More accurate to say that they ended up not having to go through with their end of the quid pro quo because Trump got caught first. Zelensky was 100% going to make that announcement on CNN.

Lindsy thinks maybe he can be the next “President.” He’s wrong.

He could have gone on CNN, but did not. He followed the sound advice of Taylor and others. He did not yield in the end, and he gets full credit for that.

He said the Ukranians were very tough despite being in a desperate situation while Lindsay crumpled like used Kleenex.
