  1. more bs we never suggested US were blameless leading up to iraq invasion. opposite. have criticized the cherry picking o' intelligence by politicians o' available evidence, which were a blix complaint. we complained that the wh criminal mislead 'bout the numbers which would be needed to affect regime change. we criticized the bumbling incompetence and obtuseness o' multiple individuals in the bush administration, and we still do. however, to claim the administration knew 'bout absence o' wmds and lied 'bout such is false. that were your claim and is what inspired the blix stuff--blix made clear he didn't believe US lied 'bout iraqi wmds but he did say US were too certain in spite o' insufficient and often contradictory data. the senate report you quoted out of context, doing same nonsense you accuse us o' doing and same idiocy which bush administration did to convince selves 'o the need to invade iraq, would be amusing save for fact is utter predictable and is your one-trick pony. and is kinda obvious you used simile to distract from reality. we would argue further on the johnson interview, but absolute nobody is listening anymore and you are a lost cause. contrary to your silly gotcha narrative, which even johnson didn't claim or agree to, anybody reading the transcript can see the questions and context. were like, "asking a series of questions about car mechanics" before hitting johnson with aleppo? not even close. three questions, not all on the same focused subject, and one o' which had johnson reference regime change. gotcha? *chuckle* as is your typical response, you make a claim which you no doubt believe, and depend on the absence o' anybody interested enough to bother checking your claims, sources, graphs or quotes. HA! Good Fun!
  2. fair enough. perhaps is a quibble, but am thinking is worth stressing how the epidemiologists is emphatic that the vaccine is not a cure. fauci and others are worried that far too americans (we can't speak to south africans) is confused 'bout how the vaccine will protect a population from covid-19. even after old people and healthcare workers start getting the vaccine, will be a considerable 'mount o' time 'fore we see a return to normal and that time may increase if too many people either refuse to take the vaccine or discontinue covid-19 protocols mistaken believing that the vaccine = safety. the vaccine is not a solution in the short term if people continue to behave ignorant. perhaps a quibble, but is what we do. HA! Good Fun!
  3. wasn't our prediction. zor were claiming sanctions were gonna be laughed off by russia 'cause o' their vast currency reserves. in response we quoted a harvard economist who said if russia didn't take drastic measures, they could be bankrupt in 6-18 months, and that sanctions would make all that much more difficult for russia to avoid such a fate. 'course russia took severe austerity measures, but fact remains we were referencing the opinions o' a harvard economist to refute zor's belief sanctions were a non issue. btw, johnson admitted in a follow-up interview that he simply forgot aleppo, and didn't make any claim o' gotcha. additional, johnson made numerous other foreign affairs blunders during the campaign. regardless, is best not to take zor claims at face value. HA! Good Fun!
  4. *sigh* what you actual said were, johnson flub hardly occurs 'cause previous string o' questions has been similar to queries 'bout car mechanics and then he get hit with microbes. first question had johnson literal respond 'bout regime change. and why on earth do you feel need to reimagine the questions when those questions are there for all to see? is no need to try and invent a simile when exact words and context is available. question 1) "GEIST: That’s a good place to start. For people who don’t know a lot about you and haven’t had a chance to hear and learn about where you stand on the issues, what is the lane for the Johnson-Weld ticket between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? What do you bring that’s different from those two? "JOHNSON: Well, I think there’s a big six-lane highway down the middle that encompasses 60 percent of Americans. And broadly speaking, fiscally conservative, socially inclusive, skeptical when it comes to our military intervention. Skeptical when it comes to our going in and supporting regime changes that have not resulted in a more safe world — free markets. "So I think that that encompasses about 60 percent of the electorate and I think that the two-party system has really, really got to the fringes on both sides." again, since appears lost on zor, johnson specific identifies regime change in response to what is a "who are you," question. question 2) "BARNICLE: Which of those candidates of the two-party system — Republican candidate, Democratic candidate — do you draw the most votes from? "JOHNSON: You know, in all of these polls it’s just, remarkably, 50-50. Amazingly, I think, though, that with the exception of just a few polls it’s more votes from Hillary. "BARNICLE: Do you — "JOHNSON: But I think — I think when it ends up it will really be 50-50." second question asks candidate from which party johnson is drawing more voters. question 3) "BARNICLE: But do you worry about the Nader effect in 2000? "JOHNSON: I don’t worry one bit about it. I really do think that the two-party system is broken. I don’t think Democrats are able to balance a checkbook these days. That’s it’s all about bigger government and higher taxes. And then Republicans with, I think, the social agenda. Look, whatever your social inclinations are just don’t force it on me. And I think the Republican Party has gotten really extreme in that category." question three is no more than a follow-up to question two. ... and then aleppo no bs. no reimagine. you are comic exposing self with this silliness and nobody here requires a reimagining o' questions when questions and full context is readily available and discernable. were interviewer hitting johnson with question after question on tax reform and then sudden drops a query 'bout some obscure hamlet nobody save those with a subscription to foreign affairs is aware? were like, "asking a series of questions about car mechanics" before hitting johnson with aleppo? is gotcha only 'cause you misremembered or read somewheres on reddit that it were a gotcha w/o bothering to do the incidental research needed to see actual questions and context. trend. if this were a gotcha it were the worst gotcha setup we ever seen. heck, if you need explain how it were a gotcha, then it likely weren't. as @Hurlshot surmises, am suspecting johnson just didn't know aleppo from ankara. after all, once syria were mentioned, johnson responded as follows: "JOHNSON: Well, with regard to Syria, I do think that it’s a mess. I think that the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end. But when we’ve aligned ourselves with — when we’ve supported the opposition of the Free Syrian Army — the Free Syrian Army is also coupled with the Islamists. "And then the fact that we’re also supporting the Kurds and this is — it’s just — it’s just a mess. And that this is the result of regime change that we end up supporting. And, inevitably, these regime changes have led a less-safe world." again johnson mentions regime change in response to first actual question. he were aware and conscious o' regime change topic and am suspecting he were prepared to talk 'bout syria... had a clear prepared response for syria. johnson simple didn't know or recognize the significance o' aleppo. try and imagine a gotcha outta this is mild amusing. hang on so tenacious to gotcha narrative when is utter unsupportable from actual questions and context is laughable... and predictable. HA! Good Fun! ps "hans blix berkeley"
  5. am appreciating and agreeing with the sentiment o' the video o' spencer cox and chris peterson, but am wondering if such a video gets made if the race in question were anything but a forgone conclusion. if race were nail bitter close and the candidates nevertheless kept civil and admirable our applause would be a bit more energetic. while am not as rabid as gd, am admitting to a healthy degree o' cynicism when it comes to american political battles. HA! Good Fun!
  6. *chuckle* get yourself caught with shorts 'round your ankles and you retreat to old standbys? predictable. terrible part is just as you misrepresent your past fails, you try to misrepresent the interview in spite o' fact folks can see clear what actual occurred. hardly a gotcha question and nothing at all like you described. we posted in context, unlike somebody... a gotcha after three previous questions one o' which has johnson mention regime change? you can't possibly be continuing to push the gotcha' schtick given the reality... but here you are. thank you. did johnson recognize general mideast conflict issue once SYRIA were supplied? sure. can only imagine the fallout if johnson continued to stumble and bumble after mention o' syria. oh and low energy zor is not gonna once again cowardly retreat from his blix misrepresentation. can't even be bothered to literal google "hans blix berkeley"? amazing. HA! Good Fun!
  7. ordo ab chao say in latin makes sound legit... more legit. HA! Good Fun!
  8. Gromnir replied to Gromnir's topic in Way Off-Topic
    ... make excuses for dallas is not our mo. that said, the dallas offense is not dependent on rb or receivers or even qb the way it depends on the ol, and the dallas ol is in tatters. zac martin and brandon knight is out after having already lost tyron smith and joe looney... and looney were starter after perennial pro bowl center travis frederick retired. 'cause dak prescott were kinda limited in what he could do, the offense were kept extreme vanilla, which were ok just so long as the ol were absolute dominant. sure, all nfl teams need good ol play, but dallas were even more reliant on their production from superior ol, and your ol is a mess. defense, on the other hand... all too reminiscent o' keystone cops footage. as hard as it is to believe, we feel bad for dallas at the moment. extreme late edit to avoid the double-post: this week were one o' the fugliest weeks o' football we are able to recollect with an inordinate number o' games decided by poor or stoopid play. ordinarily we loathe bad football even if scores suggest games were close. even so, am gonna admit the weekend were one o' the more entertaining collection o' games we may recall from the past +3 years. weird. HA! Good Fun!
  9. bs GEIST: Joining us now, the Libertarian candidate for president, former Republican governor Gary Johnson of New Mexico. Governor, good to have you with us. JOHNSON: Great to be with you. There was a — there was a super PAC that did an ad — Abe Lincoln ad, and it’s now had close to 20 million views — BRZEZINSKI: My goodness. JOHNSON: — in 12 days. GEIST: Wow, which is really — BRZEZINSKI: What does that tell you? JOHNSON: Well, I think that there’s — I don’t know. Maybe a — maybe a little spice needs to get added to the two-person race that’s currently going on. BRZEZINSKI: Maybe a little less — GEIST: Right. BRZEZINSKI: — by me. GEIST: That’s a good place to start. For people who don’t know a lot about you and haven’t had a chance to hear and learn about where you stand on the issues, what is the lane for the Johnson-Weld ticket between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? What do you bring that’s different from those two? JOHNSON: Well, I think there’s a big six-lane highway down the middle that encompasses 60 percent of Americans. And broadly speaking, fiscally conservative, socially inclusive, skeptical when it comes to our military intervention. Skeptical when it comes to our going in and supporting regime changes that have not resulted in a more safe world — free markets. So I think that that encompasses about 60 percent of the electorate and I think that the two-party system has really, really got to the fringes on both sides. BRZEZINSKI: Mike? BARNICLE: Which of those candidates of the two-party system — Republican candidate, Democratic candidate — do you draw the most votes from? JOHNSON: You know, in all of these polls it’s just, remarkably, 50-50. Amazingly, I think, though, that with the exception of just a few polls it’s more votes from Hillary. BARNICLE: Do you — JOHNSON: But I think — I think when it ends up it will really be 50-50. BARNICLE: But do you worry about the Nader effect in 2000? JOHNSON: I don’t worry one bit about it. I really do think that the two-party system is broken. I don’t think Democrats are able to balance a checkbook these days. That’s it’s all about bigger government and higher taxes. And then Republicans with, I think, the social agenda. Look, whatever your social inclinations are just don’t force it on me. And I think the Republican Party has gotten really extreme in that category. BARNICLE: What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo? JOHNSON: About? BARNICLE: Aleppo. JOHNSON: And what is Aleppo? BARNICLE: You’re kidding. JOHNSON: No. BARNICLE: Aleppo is in Syria. It’s the — it’s the epicenter of the refugee crisis. JOHNSON: OK, got it, got it. BARNICLE: OK. https://time.com/4483779/gary-johnson-aleppo-transcript/ were a question right near start o' interview and johnson had specific identified regime change stance moments earlier. so, bs. oh, and before obama and trump, most folks recognized the President's domestic influence were largely limited to shaping the national agenda. foreign affairs were the crux o' Presidential power and influence. fact gary johnson didn't recognize were meaningful. am disagreeing with @Hurlshot conclusions precise 'cause we agree with him 'bout what were revealed by the flub. HA! Good Fun!
  10. dear lord are you stretching. a politician echoing words o' past icons? is common. do they footnote every speech? you think guys such as trump and biden even write their own speeches? biden is a nice guy, but he is not particular erudite. you think he would recognize origin passages? we laughed our arse off when melania were vilified for plagiarizing michelle obama, and her speech writer did far more than lift individual passages. most o' these speeches is cookie cutter replications o' successful past speeches and the speeches is written by people you do not know and is likely to never know. oh noes! tell us biden plagiarized multiple papers in college or his thesis, then we get ornery. heck, can do that for mlk and we still balk at questioning overall character w/o more. as to the second video... you are bat crap crazy. did you listen to biden? he is repeating US policy, and standing up to the kremlin sounds exact like the kinda thing republicans would near universal support up until 2016. your characterization o' events flies in the face o' reality but does align with the alt right narrative, a narrative which makes no sense. biden were pushing US policy and had nothing to do with specific investigations. for chrissakes, claims o' biden corruption nonsense with burisma woulda' been far more reasonable if biden did opposite o' what he did. IF in spite o' pressure from world leaders and his own administration, biden finds a way to keep a corrupt prosecutor in power, a prosecutor either dragging his feet or purposeful no longer investigating a company biden's son is involved with, then we would have the basis o' conspiracy. blame biden for following US policy crafted with near unanimous support o' european allies to remove a corrupt prosecutor who were NOT actual bothering to investigate burisma is... you are a meme. you will fight to the death to prove what you believe in spite o' evidence. you see smoke from fire o' rudy's laptop reveal? HA! you will buy into the alt right narrative regarding every ****amamie conspiracy theory 'cause the democrats are preparing to come and take your guns. you assume all politicians is corrupt and vile, regardless o' evidence, 'cause they is, "the government." meme. HA! Good Fun!
  11. misplaced hope. there is many reasons epidemiologists such as fauci, who is cautiously optimistic there will be multiple safe and effective vaccines by the end o' the year, has said we will need to keep basic covid-19 protocols in place for much o' 2021. the US may have as many as 100 million doses o' vaccine available by the end o' this year. maybe. 100 mil is assuming all vaccine candidates is successes. even if there is 100 million doses, that don't mean 100 million is inoculated. multiple vaccine candidates require a second dose administered ~ one month after the initial injection. so 100 million actual means somewhere indefinite 'tween 50 million and 100 million... which ignores fact there will be production fails and distribution fails and unpredictable but nevertheless inevitable everyday human error fails which will further reduce real numbers o' possible vaccinations also, has taken 8 months to administer 129 million covid tests in the US, and the testing efforts has been fraught with innumerable logistical issues. is not analogous situations for various reasons. tests need be administered, sent to a lab where they is processed and then results is needing be communicated back to individual tested. more complex than administering a vaccine, no? well, not so much as you will likely need go to a dr. office to get injection and the vaccines themselves is needing be stored cold... a few candidates need be stored extreme cold. is a whole host o' logistical hurdles which need be addressed by states and fed and so far the fed has not been communicating with states 'bout vaccine delivery efforts. initial vaccine efforts is gonna be a mess unless drastic changes occur... yesterday. additional, we won't know the initial efficacy o' the vaccines save for whether they reach some kinda basement effectiveness. one candidate will be measured at minimum 50% efficacy. another will be set at 60% minimum. have explained previous, and am knowing such attempts has been fruitless, but a 50-60% effective vaccine is more than sufficient for stopping the pandemic, but only if everybody takes the vaccine (current near 50% o' people will not volunteer to take initial) and just so long as people continue to follow basic mask behaviours for months and months and months. social distance is best, but social distance is not possible for every and all. masks and other covid-19 behaviours should continue to be routine everyday aspects o' life for the better part o' 2021, regardless o' vaccine. even if we have multiple viable vaccine candidates by the end o' this year, is a misplaced hope to see a return to anything approaching normal life before late summer or early fall o' 2021, and that is only if people actual follow guidelines. timeline will be stretched if science-challenged yahoos reuse to take vaccine or converse, take vaccine and pretend as if they no longer need follow basic covid-19 protocols 'cause they has been innoculated. in places such as the US and europe, something approaching normal will return w/i the next year or so but is worth recognizing the world population is in the ballpark range o' 7.8 billion. if you genuine wanna stop pandemic, you need get a significant % o' that population inoculated or everytime there is an outbreak in bangladesh or malawi, the threat o' a worldwide surge will be real. a whole lotta inoculations need occur before real normal happens. HA! Good Fun!
  12. obama, as tactful as possible, tried to discuss possible retirement o' rbg in a meeting with the Justice in earlyish 2014. the meeting shoulda' come as no surprise as she were an octogenarian cancer survivor (multiple) at the time. statistically, rbg were having a remaining life expectancy o' negative numbers o' weeks, months and years. rbg made it clear she were not planning to retire and were reported she told obama something to the effect o', "who would you rather have on the Court than me?" "men placed in this situation will generally soon feel themselves independent of heaven itself." applies equal to women? even extreme smart people may be a bit obtuse. video is from march 2018. in 2014, rbg believed in her own invincibility and at the time she were no doubt as certain as many others that democrats would retain control o' the wh. with scalia dying in february o' 2016 and mcconnell making clear there would be no senate consideration o' an obama nominee to the Court until after the election... too many democrats didn't vote in 2016. they didn't like clinton but they didn't believe trump had any chance o' winning neither. perfect storm o' apathy. HA! Good Fun!
  13. lifetime appointments were actual kinda common in england in 1787 when the US were creating its Constitution. keep in mind Constitution don't say "lifetime" for Justices, but precise 'cause such were common, the language, "shall hold their offices during good behaviour," were read by all as to mean a Justice had a lifetime appointment save for impeachment or scire facias. *shrug* furthermore, hamilton in federalist 78 recognized how a lifetime appointment may result in a kinda arrogance: "men placed in this situation will generally soon feel themselves independent of heaven itself." did not see such arrogance as a shortcoming but rather as necessary. hamilton clear believed the security o' a lifetime term were warranted as the judiciary, while s'posed a co-equal branch o' government, were powerless save for the willingness o' the legislature and executive to acquiesce to SCOTUS decisions. lifetime appointment, freeing Justices from not only the whims o' the mob but also the executive branch, would have a tendency to lead to greater judicial independence and the wherewithal to act in protection o' the Constitution. such were the reasoning o' the founders in defense o' lifetime appointments for Justices, although hamilton's views were hardly the unanimous held belief o' the founders. the anti-federalists were more than a little unnerved by the notion o' lifetime appointments. HA! Good Fun!
  14. if you can't find a way to eat meat while at your computer, am gonna suggest you ain't trying hard enough. thin strips o' steak on a plate, eaten with fork or chopsticks, is more convenient and less messy than trying to manage crumbly chips from a bag or box or even bowl-- no greasy fingers and no chip bits landing in our keyboard. chips and jerky win when am succumbing to sloth, but am otherwise not a fan o' such when meat is available. HA! Good Fun!
  15. apologies, but our teeth hurt from Gromnir thinking about your cookie sandwich. HA! Good Fun!
  16. when we get the "munchies," am more likely to turn to meat than chips or sweets. HA! Good Fun!
  17. you keep saying is a meme, but then you defend the point o' the meme as we describe. *shrug* have never met biden. you ask a lawyer to judge character o' a person with whom we has never interacted? for reals? am not knowing biden personal well enough to make definitive comments 'bout his character. we got impressions o' him compared to other folks we know only from tv and newspaper articles and from such admitted limited exposure, biden seems like a decent guy and better than far too many. regardless, is absolute no reputable evidence which suggests biden is deserving to be described as, "a shady, corrupted, disingenuous man of low character. his very presence in the office will further tarnish an institution that has long since lost its luster." none... save fact he is a member o', "the government." am knowing is pointless, but am ever hopeful gd eventual admits to himself that evidence and facts regarding biden is inconsequential from your pov unless they confirm your already established and immutable opinions 'bout "the government." the laptop evidence would be thorough unconvincing to gd save for fact is biden or some similar "the government" personage being targeted. on this point, you are the meme, but is not funny. is not at all funny. HA! Good Fun!
  18. proving our point. gd pov is nothing more than a meme. for gd, facts, investigations and even reality is meaningless particularly if they involve what he thinks o' as "the government." perhaps no presidential candidate in history has been subject to more investigations than has biden. obamagate. unmasking. multiple partisan Congressional investigations. fbi efforts. doj efforts. we even had trump calling on foreign powers o' ukraine and china to investigate, and lord knows the russians is still trying to cause problems... https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2020/PSA200924 https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa20-296a and yet all such effort proved useless and inconsequential as far as showing even a scintilla o' proof joe biden were involved in something illegal or even unethical. gd is nevertheless swayed to label biden as the following: "a shady, corrupted, disingenuous man of low character. his very presence in the office will further tarnish an institution that has long since lost its luster." based on what? giuliani and bannon's laptop evidence which were already in the possession o' the fbi since december 2019? nope, real reason is joe biden is part o' "the government." is all gd needs to know. worse, is all gd will genuine consider. laptop confirms what gd already knew and what from his pov should be obvious to everybody. meme am hardly convinced. am knowing the trump supporters feel like they found a gotcha moment, but who is the voters the reveal convinces? old people and suburban housewives? unless such folks is intimate entangled with the fossil fuel industry, their votes is not gonna shift... and such folks were already solid trump supporters before biden made his non-reveal reveal. trump is a guy hanging off the edge o' a cliff with nothing but handfuls o' dirt and perhaps a few blades o' sun-burnt grass separating him from a lethal fall. is nothing for trump to grab onto to pull himself back up onto solid ground save for loose dirt and a bit o' vegetation. when the only thing between you and oblivion is a desperation grab, you grab. democrats, converse, is so terrified by the potential o' another 2016 that they imagine biden onto the cliff face right along with trump. weird stuff may still happen 'tween now and the election, but we don't see the needle moved by any biden comment offered during the final debate. HA! Good Fun! ps is ironic but trump mishandling o' covid-19 did more to hurt the fossil fuel industry than am believing biden would be able to accomplish in four years even if he becomes President. trump's ineptitude accelerated the telecommuting trend... the real warp speed initiative? americans is driving far less today than they were in 2019. 2021 won't be much different than were 2020 insofar as our covid behaviours is concerned. has taken over seven months to administer 129 million covid tests in the US? a significant % o' such tests is the somewhat suspect rapid variety. converse, is gonna take something near 600 million doses o' vaccine, which needs be cold stored, to inoculate enough americans such that it ends the pandemic threat. telecommuting trends is here to stay... so, in a way, when trump brags 'bout what a fantastic environmentalist he has been, he ain't wrong. 'course his major environmental impact were due to his mishandling o' covid-19, mishandling which likely resulted in more than 100k unnecessary american deaths, so...
  19. am recalling an interview with gene hackman contemporaneous with the release o' superman. hackman were asked why an actor who had won an academy award and had such an incredible reputation for serious roles would play the part o' lex luthor, and particular richard donner's kinda campy lex luthor. hackman responded without a pause and complete deadpan that the decision were easy 'cause the producers drove up to his home with a dump truck full of money. general relativity and the vagaries o' time travel is inconsequential as any writer with a bit o' imagination will be able to come up with an excuse plausible enough to satisfy audiences. ever see the movie interstellar? some o' the biggest brains on the planet were technical advisors for the film and the director s'posed prioritized scientific accuracy, but at the end o' the day, we had what amounts to a quantum leap scenario and the only real explanation for the time travel and general weirdness o' interstellar's ending is physics in a black hole is ineffable and therefore anything is possible. the wormhole aliens is at least as ineffable as is black holes. anything is possible. imagination. the much more practical concern is the size o' the vehicle star trek producers were willing to fill with money when they arrived at mr. brook's residence. am not knowing the financial situation o' mr. brooks, so am not even gonna hazard a guess what it took to coax him out of retirement. even if mr. brooks needed no money to live well, am sure the sisko has enough imagination to recognize the good he could do charities and worthy causes with a dump truck full of money. then again, maybe avery brooks has been diligent practicing his karaoke since 1999 and they offered him another chance to sing with james darren? HA! Good Fun!
  20. am thinking your posting o' the link only highlights just how much has changed since the nyt article were relevant, 'cause is no way in hell biden woulda' direct involved himself in the investigation o' a political opponent back in 1988. political suicide. so much has changed since 1988. current President asks foreign powers and his own doj to investigate a political rival? what? never woulda' thought such were possible in 1988 or 1980... or 2015. regardless, gd sees smoke where he so very much wants to see smoke. the fbi has had the sinister laptop since december o' 2019 and if there were any undeclared foreign payments made to biden such would be serious illegal. biden released his taxes, so we know he didn't report such foreign payments. to make this conspiracy anything other than easy dismissed as something gd is smoking, we gotta imagine the republican initiated senate investigations, the fbi and the william barr led doj buried damaging and illegal behaviour by biden. what we do know is that giuliani is current under federal investigation and the fbi refuse to comment 'bout the various conspiracy theories perpetuated by giuliani. that should tell you something. co-conspirator bannon is having already been indicted for wire fraud. occam's razor is not gd's friend. nevertheless, you need to see equivalency 'tween trump and biden as your entire political reality depends on whataboutism. biden may not be as dirty as trump but he is still a corrupt washington politician, right? they are all bad. there is no better option 'tween the available main party candidates. fine. may be true there is no good candidate 'cause takes little effort to find biden shortfalls on policy and competence. however, gd knows this election is also 'bout character and given just how corrupt and mendacious is trump, to make the whataboutism balance, gd needs to find something terribad 'bout biden. proof o' biden's corruption, if gd is being honest, is that biden has been a washington politician for decades. is what gd believes. the giuliani conspiracy is the concrete proof o' what gd believes, therefore it is true. gd isn't a bad person and am certain he believes what he posts. genuine is the problem. your tendency to indulge conspiracy theories and make hyperbolic generalizations would be more funny if we weren't certain you is serious. HA! Good Fun!
  21. the investigation happened in 91. ... 'pon reflection, biden were senate judiciary at the time and were involved in the clarence thomas hearings. don't know why we didn't immediate recall date. biden did run for Pres in 1988 and there were talk o' him running in 1992, so is unlikely he would be involved even tangential in an investigation o' a potential political rival, 'cause that kinda thing were considered bad back in the 90s. go figure. speaking o' hypocrisy, trump, who said last night he wants to protect the nation's seniors who is more susceptible to covid-19, is holding a rally today at a florida retirement community where the crowd is not social distanced and a majority is not wearing masks. at least it is outdoors... and the trump campaign did pass out hand sanitizer. HA! Good Fun!
  22. and from your link, there is nothing to suggest biden were driving the investigation o' the 1980 situation. "Some in the Democratic Party have been concerned that the inquiry would be perceived as a purely partisan maneuver intended to damage Republicans as the Presidential campaign season opens." article continues and makes clear this were hardly an investigation universal embraced by democrats. house investigation, not senate and no mention o' biden. is actual telling that this were a house investigation and not senate in spite o' a democrat majority in senate. biden were on the senate foreign affairs committee at the time. so why not senate which typical has better investigative apparatus if for no other reason than their longer terms and more established relations with intelligence organizations and people? is hard to recall, but the senate, in particular, were far lass partisan in the 90s than it is today. but again, not same situation at all. your analogy is a stretch. HA! Good Fun!
  23. 1980. hypocrisy is a stretch as virtual no people involved in the 1980 campaign is still around and in politics, save for a guy who paints washington politicians with a very broad and indiscriminate brush. HA! Good Fun!
  24. your point? ... you are not actual equating the hostage release scenario to the laptop situation are you? you spin back to 1980 and come up with a complete non analogous situation? btw, there already were an inquiry into biden and the fbi has had the laptop in question for a considerable amount o' time. the senate inquiry had access to such "evidence" as you see as considerable smoke. a highly partisan investigation nevertheless found no evidence o' wrongdoing by biden. you are a dog with a bone. frequent. becoming more frequent. HA! Good Fun!
  25. Giuliani: Even if Hunter Laptop Story ‘Isn’t Accurate,’ Americans ‘Are Entitled to Know It’ again, change scenario and make it a citizen victim o' democrat legislators using the takings clause and consider how much smoke you would see as real as 'posed to contrived. you have shown a willingness to embrace conspiracy theory when such conspiracies reinforce your belief that government = evil. yowza level o' willingness. and we believe that you believe what you said. however, have seen on multiple occasions over the past decade that there is frequent a big difference 'tween your belief and the truth. HA! Good Fun!
