Quote from: shosta on June 19, 2019, 04:19:27 PMHas Bernie even attacked anyone at all? I scrolled past this earlier but hellllllllllllllllll fuckin yeah he does , he regularly throws subliminals at his political opponents saying they're in the pockets of the bouj. I mean they are and he's right but an attack on credibility is still an attack. I think this is one of the reasons 'Hillary Clinton revanchists' and neocons like TA accuse his fanbase of purity testing, because they emulate this behavior as well.I will say he is mostly polite and passive aggressive about it. A civil payola card caller.

Wait just a doggone minute. The Roosevalts and Eisenhower have arab genes in em?

Prediction: if/when Biden implodes, there will be a ton of concern-trolling from Republicans about him being forced out because of Political Correctness, Cancel Culture, etc. along with some bullshit about how he was the one candidate they were worried about facing.
Sleepy Joe was forced out of the Democratic Party because he wasn't a radical feminist socialist who hates America! Very Sad!
Biden getting dunked on by fucking Jon Chait.
Does Joe Biden still believe in the death penalty? His campaign won't sayAn aside by the Democratic hopeful at a town hall triggers questions about whether he's changed his mind on another hot-button issue.
Biden’s campaign would not comment on his answer, or shed light on whether he’s changed his position on the death penalty. The ACLU also declined to weigh in, given the ambiguity of his comment.Biden's support for the death penalty was consistent throughout his 30-plus years in the Senate. Whether that stand holds will be another case study of how he reconciles long-held beliefs with the leftward march of his party. His record is full of tough-on-crime bills and statements that were in line with Bill Clinton-style centrism, but now look out of step.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declined to answer questions on the campaign trail this week about his son's overseas business dealings in countries where the then-vice president was conducting diplomatic work, an issue his political opponents have already begun to wield against him as he wades into the 2020 presidential campaign.More than once, after his father engaged in diplomacy on behalf of the United States in foreign countries, Hunter Biden conducted business in the same country. At two separate campaign stops on Monday, Biden avoided questions about his son while his staff blocked reporters from approaching the candidate.Biden's campaign did provide ABC News with a statement saying the former vice president has always adhered to "well-established executive branch ethics standards," adding that if Biden wins the White House he will issue an executive order to "address conflicts of interest of any kind.""This process will be set out in detail in the executive order," the statement reads, "that President Biden would issue on his first day in office."The ethics pledge follows renewed questions about a pair of overseas business opportunities involving Hunter Biden – one in Ukraine, another in China – that already have begun to generate political attacks from Joe Biden's conservative critics. Ethics experts interviewed by ABC News said these are legitimate questions about possible past and future conflicts of interest.
Within weeks of [Joe Biden's] visit, Ukraine's largest energy producer, Burisma Energy, appointed Hunter Biden to a paid directorship on the firm's board.Just months before, in December of 2013, there was a similar episode when the then-vice president led an Obama administration effort to tamp down tensions in the Far East. Hunter Biden disembarked from Air Force Two in Beijing alongside his father, ahead of a series of meetings between the vice president and several high-ranking members of China's ruling party. Upon his departure, Joe Biden called Chinese President Xi Jinping a "good friend."Within weeks of that visit, Hunter Biden was doing business there, as a participant in a firm called Bohai Harvest RST. The corporation formed a novel Chinese-American investment partnership that involved such Chinese state-owned firms as the Bank of China. Reports at the time said they sought to raise $1.5 billion.
The US drone shot down by Iran had masked its identification equipment after being launched from a US base south of the Gulf, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said Thursday, according to the country’s Fars news agency.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore into Charles and David Koch on his show Wednesday night, arguing that the billionaire Republican donors are largely to blame for the resistance President Trump is meeting from his own party...."But in the case of the Kochs, conservatives might want to pause and rethink the relationship," Carlson continued. "As it turns out, the Kochs don’t have much in common with conservatives. They are totally opposed to most conservative policy goals. The Kochs are libertarian ideologues, passionate and inflexible.""America first? The Kochs find the very notion of that absurd, if not fascist. An economic policy that seeks to strengthen families? The Kochs denounce that as ‘crony capitalism,’ or ‘picking winners and losers.’ They think it’s immoral and they’ll tell you so. Controlling our borders? The Kochs consider that racist."The overwhelming majority of Republicans want a secure border and less immigration," he said. "That’s why they voted for Donald Trump. Two-and-a-half years later, the border is more porous than ever. A tide of humanity is flooding in illegally. Republicans in Congress have done almost nothing to help. Why? You can thank the Kochs for that."..."The Koch network has also successfully pushed Republicans to join the left in going soft on crime. The Kochs aggressively backed the First Step Act, which is currently allowing drug traffickers to leave prison early. They support the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, which would cut required penalties for heroin and cocaine traffickers in half. They’re doing all this, remember, in the middle of the deadliest drug epidemic in American history. The Kochs don’t even argue that these so-called reforms will help law abiding Americans in any way. They just believe it’s the libertarian thing to do....From crime and drugs to Medicare and tax cuts, Carlson further condemned the Kochs for their stance on several other issues "that bear no resemblance to those of most Republican voters."Carlson also accused the Kochs of colluding with the "left-wing campaign against free speech," joining with tech companies such as Pinterest, AirBNB, Patreon, and Mozilla, which hope to formulate the "best practices on the fight against hate and extremism online," which Carlson argued really means censorship."Big tech has become a far bigger threat to your freedom than government is," Carlson concluded. "The Kochs don’t care. Nothing Google does violates libertarian orthodoxy. More to the point, the Kochs don’t care about Republican voters or what happens to them. OK, but then why are they running the Republican Party? That’s a question Republicans should start asking themselves."
