B-Man Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 From Prof. Ann Althouse Let's talk about Joe Biden's new "Why are you so obsessed with me, Mr. President?" ad. Some random thoughts:1. Who is that music supposed to be for? Does it cheer some people up? Make them feel "pumped"? To me, it's so aggressive that I could barely pay attention to the voiceover, and it just seems ludicrously bad, like somebody without musical talent was trying to recreate the MTV theme from the 80s 2. With my mental space occupied 85% by how irritating the music was, what can I remember without rewatching? It seemed to be a bunch of clips of Trump saying "Biden" and an assertion that Trump is "obsessed" with Biden and that this obsession exists because Biden is the one candidate that Trump believes will be able to beat him. But I'm sure a montage of Trump saying "Sanders" or "Warren" or "Boot-edge-edge" could be assembled. The saying of the name doesn't prove the obsession.3. Trump is so tricky that if he were sending out the signal that Biden is the one opponent he fears, I would suspect that he doesn't fear him.4. There were various words on screen and statements by the voiceover telling us Joe Biden is experienced and ready to go on Day One. Basically, he's qualified and he can win. Lukewarm material. Maybe that explains the addition of the distracting, annoying music.5. We're shown poll numbers indicating Biden would beat Trump in some key states, including Wisconsin. But I remember the most recent Marquette poll showing only one candidate beating Trump in Wisconsin. That person was Cory Booker.6. I'll rewatch the ad after I put up the post and update with any new impressions. ADDED: I rewatched. It was very unpleasant. We see lots of pictures of Trump and hear his voice yelling "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden." I think Democrats imagine that there's a successful political move known as "getting under Trump's skin." They've been trying to do that and claiming to have done that for the entire Trump presidency. I think they are deluding themselves. Trump gets energy from opposition. Nothing wears him down. He's not losing it, and the idea that Biden as his opponent would drive him into some sort of self-destructive frenzy is at best silly. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Biden's team seized on a New York Times report Monday, which said Russian hackers attempted to hack into Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas firm that employed Biden's son Hunter and is at the center of President Trump's impeachment, to claim it is not just Trump who is intimidated by the former vice president. “Donald Trump tried to coerce Ukraine into lying about Joe Biden and a major bipartisan, international anti-corruption victory because he recognized that he can’t beat the vice president,” said Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates. “Now we know that Vladimir Putin also sees Joe Biden as a threat,” Bates said. “Any American president who had not repeatedly encouraged foreign interventions of this kind would immediately condemn this attack on the sovereignty of our elections.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-camp-russia-hacking-burisma-shows-putin-views-former-vice-president-as-a-threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Joe Biden's streak of being wrong on foreign policy continues, uninterrupted Editorial Original Article In Tuesday night's Democratic debate, Joe Biden claimed a vast array of foreign policy accomplishments in an attempt to make the case that his foreign policy experience made him the best prepared candidate to be commander in chief. But all he did was remind viewers that he has an extensive history of getting it wrong. Don't just take it from us. In his 2014 memoir, Duty, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates famously shared his view that Joe Biden, then the vice president and previously chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had been wrong about “nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s even agree Joe paid her the $2 for the babysitting and an extra $1 an hour to violate her personal space and smell her hair for an hour. All very doable on $40k+ at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 ..Oh No Joe...…..MORE??…….. Biden speaks against racism, lumps Trump in with KKK during speech before black congregation By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News Former vice president Joe Biden delivered a speech before a mostly black congregation at the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Columbia, S.C. Sunday in which he spoke of race relations in terms befitting a biblical prophet warning of impending destruction. Biden’s brief address the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day included tales of the Civil Rights Movement while expressing fear that the progress made during the 1960s was unraveling, at least in part due to President Trump. “Folks, some mornings I wake up and I think it’s more like what it must have been in 1920 than 2020,” Biden said. He went on to recall the efforts and success of the Civil Rights Movement, saying that at the time people “thought we began to move and that civil rights was beginning to make some real progress.” Biden forebodingly claimed that this progress was part of a movement that “has not been able to be stopped until recently,” warning that while “I thought you could defeat hate … hate only hides.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-speaks-against-racism-lumps-trump-in-with-kkk-during-speech-before-black-congregation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 LIKE “SWIFTBOATING,” A “CONSPIRACY THEORY” IS JUST A TRUTHFUL REPORT THAT DEMOCRATS ACTED BADLY: ? John Solomon: Joe Biden’s ‘conspiracy theory’ memo to U.S. media doesn’t match the facts. It is irrefutable, and not a conspiracy theory, that Joe Biden bragged in this 2018 speech to a foreign policy group that he threatened in March 2016 to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid to Kiev if then-Ukraine’s president Petro Poroshenko didn’t immediately fire Shokin. “I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden told the 2018 audience in recounting what he told Poroshenko “Well, son of a B word, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event. But the purpose of the memo isn’t to convince reporters, it’s just to get them to fall in line with the Democrat narrative. . 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden thought he was simply throwing the dumb black congregation a vote-winning racist dog biscuit.As a black and grateful proud American, it turns my stomach the way Democrats repeatedly pander to us, pretending race relations in America have not progressed beyond the 1950s.
