How is a wedding consultant from Chicago the one breaking this news?

psunate77 · Post by **psunate77** » Wed Oct 07, 2020 4:00 pm

Well I figured this would happen.. DT is now asking Barr to arrest Obama, Biden, and Clinton

Wonder how long before Barr caves and they get arrested?

Dammit. If this is not true I am gonna be bummed.

To be fair, I imagine any news like that would come from a hospital leak, but claims of three sources from that profile just kinda seems dubious.

Amazing, the President is calling for SOMETHING TO BE DONE!?!?! due to a nonsensical clip from a nobody making vague and baseless claims. If only there was someone with the authority over all of these Executive Branch employees...

Why I'm not believing it at all. If he dies, we'll definitely hear about it. Until then I expect him to recover completely.

I mean, they could desperately be hiding it until after the VP debate...(looks at our NJ forum connect on such matters with eyebrows raised...)

I haven't heard anything yet.

ETA: I read through the thread of the woman reporting it on Twitter. I put zero stock in anything she said. She also said it'd be made official by 2:00 pm EDT, and still nothing. If this leaked, the press would have been all over it by now.

Any HIPAA risk for the first credible source to report? After that, everyone else can just reference the initial report, I would assume.

I don't get how the Dems allow shit like this to happen.

Let’s hope it goes well enough this evening that they continue to eat their own the day after.

Really worried about this one. I don’t like Pence, but he is a decent debate guy. Kamala was horrible in the primary debates.

That sounds right, and a much bigger HIPAA risk for the person who leaks the info, if it's a hospital employee.

4 years ago we had 'Birdie' Sanders. Now we have Joe 'Fly-den'. (Did Twitter use that already? I know Jeff Goldblum was trending last night.)

The absolute best part of that clip is the last sentence. Of course he won't agree to a format where he can't constantly interrupt.

DT is really pressuring Barr to arrest Biden, Clinton, Obama.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Oct 08, 2020 9:06 am

Continued flailing at anything that resonates with his base (hatred of Obama, Hilary) while tying in his current opponent (Biden) for guilt by association.

There's a low hanging fruit joke about current day Biden debating 1980s Biden. I don't feel like writing it.

Uh-huh. Someone who says that the Dems have abandoned the New Deal - when the Dems are the only reason Social Security has survived decades of R attempts to weaken it - is not credible.

In the past few decades, the party has avoided embracing a clearly defined progressive program or engaging in the politics of confrontation

JFC. He’s talking about the party that sacrificed its majority to raise taxes on the rich to bring health care to twenty million people, over months of vehement Republican opposition? And then stuck by that law in the face of years of Republican opposition?

Joe Fucking Manchin saved the ACA from being repealed in 2017.

Why don’t the Dems shut down the government? Because (a) it’ll hurt millions of people, including the ones the privileged left claims to care so deeply about, and (b) the Republicans won’t care (in large part because of (a)); the Dems might as well threaten to cut corporate taxes.

There’s no way the Rs are going to give up this lifetime appointment. I originally had some hope that there’d be 4 R senators willing to stop it, but that’s not happening.

Was hoping you'd quote this part:

... the Obama era has served to convince many liberals of the need to compromise even further—anything remotely ambitious being doomed to fail on the altars of conservative partisanship and Republican obstruction. (Rampant opposition to Medicare for All from centrist Democrats despite its considerable popularity has been justified on these grounds for years.)
