I'm willing to concede that Trump is doing this in part to damage an opposing candidate. Unfortunately for Joe he's friggin on tape describing how he strong-armed Ukraine into firing Shokin who was making life miserable for a company friendly to his son. Unfortunately for Joe, Hunter's appointment to the board of the gas company with sizable compensation makes zero legitimate business sense. Unfortunately for Joe and his party there are other pre-existing (his candidacy) suspicions with evidence that are being reviewed. Joe's like Manafort in that inquiries into other possible crimes or election meddling have led investigators to Joe on other somewhat unrelated matters. Unfortunately for Joe, Rudy was investigating the Ukraine corruption while Joe and the Dems and media weren't looking. Joe really ***** up by not having someone else in the Obama admin apply pressure for the Shokin firing. Unfortunately for Joe, Shokin has given testimony as to the reasons he was fired. Joe has left a very legitimate door to him being investigated open for Trump and the DOJ and the Ukraine government.

That and I can't see Hillary accepting 2nd chair with her ego.

Money will keep Bernie and Biden in this thing long after they are polling dead. Maybe someone should write a movie called weekend at Bernie and Joe's.

If you're counting semi-pro, why not include D-I college ball?

I'll go with Kelvin Benjamin as another and say that he never figured out how to moderate his intake.

So do we blame Scott Brown or Obamacare if Lizzy is our next Prez?

Only about 1% of his net worth so no big deal.

There's an argument that Barkley became a blocker after the pass as he stood between the ball carrier and the defender. You don't have to face the defender to be a blocker.

Looks like a clean hit within the rules to me.

Let him sit. If ever there was a week when he needs a full week of practice it's this week. He's got a lot of work to do and a few extra days of no contact from that injury isn't a bad thing. Barkley can run the offense. Hopefully they get a healthy Singletary back.

These folks Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer and some others are pure evil along with many in the media. It's hard to understand how their brand of selfish, power hungry and ideological determination can take such a foothold in this country. It's truly scary particularly how they're enjoying almost free reign to pursue this. Elections are the only thing slowing them down and given how much of the electorate is uninformed or uncaring or misguided makes the grasp on the republic very thin.

The punter

If he was such a scumbag, why didn't Ukraine fire him without the threat of the money being withheld?

So when Joe told Ukraine to fire the prosecutor within the next 6 hours or $1 billion in aid isn't coming, he was acting in the best interest of the United States and making a reasonable diplomatic request? One worth withholding $1 billion to a country that desperately needs our help?

A lot of truth but tackling dummy 101 teaches defenders to wrap and hit in the torso with their shoulders. Had #31 done that he'd have made the play and avoided scrutiny.

Anyone notice how few Dem pols and media are rallying around Biden? They are perfectly willing to let him go. Sorry Joe, sucks to be you. Maybe someone will write a book and give him credit for taking down the President.

Agree Josh doesn't protect himself as he should. That hit though is exactly what the league is trying to eliminate.

Yes I have. There are about 100 plays in a football game where someone is tackled. You often see celebration but not taunting someone that is down and out. Had the teammate not intervened it would likely have been worse.

Watch #31 after the hit as he has some attitude toward Josh only to be removed by a teammate. Smart on the Teammate's part but #31 was savoring the moment.

Most here will see you being called a stooge a compliment.

You stooge. Biden was a potential defendent long before he was a candidate for Prez.

Hopefully Josh isn't going to be out too long. League will be looking at that hit and as the player started to celebrate and taunt Allen after the hit won't help his case. He'll be suspended IMO but really wish it never happened.

Allen was horrible today. With even just a bit of offensive production and fewer turnovers the Bills win this one. A huge missed opportunity. Huge.

So in other words, Ukraine isn't going to investigate this on their own. The U.S. needs to do it so Trump asking for cooperation between the U.S. gov't and Ukranian gov't would be an appropriate request.

Yes but for a time she identified as a woman of color. She was ahead of her time, a real trailblazer.
