[What no one talks about is the blatant fact that Joe Biden is now America’s Manchurian candidate as his platform has migrated from ‘bipartisan civility’ to hard left socialism.  That ol’ Bumblebrain is the ‘safe alternative’ to Trump and will bring the country back on even keel is perhaps the biggest lie that the Dems and their lamestream are foisting on Americans.  Joe has made a bait and switch pact with the devil, and is now our proto-communist candidate a la Bernie and AOC, having publicly accepted and promised to implement their respective policy prescriptions.  And no one knows or even cares about it, as the Hate Trump campaign outshouts all else.  (more here) gjr]

    ahhh… fresh litter in the box!
    Repeat after me… “Good morning, President Quayle”. Do it without cracking a smile. Double-dare ya.
    I had the mother of my son ask me at the time why I thought Bush the First was unimpeachable, and I asked she say the above line. We both got a great laugh out of it.
    Sometimes, besides being a plausible VP on paper (Quayle was a two term congressman and a two term Senator from Indiana), a VP doesn’t have to be a plausible President. I think he was the best VP George HW. could choose that would keep Democrats from impeaching him. He was also a white dude from Indiana, balancing a white guy who was somehow from both Texas and Maine, and the CIA.

    Somewhere…..probably in the mountains…..a deep thinker is conflicted.

    “Faizel Khan was being told by the news media and his own mayor that the protests in his hometown were peaceful, with “a block party atmosphere.”
    But that was not what he saw through the windows of his Seattle coffee shop. He saw encampments overtaking the sidewalks. He saw roving bands of masked protesters smashing windows and looting. Young white men wielding guns would harangue customers as well as Mr. Khan, a gay man of Middle Eastern descent who moved here from Texas so he could more comfortably be out. To get into his coffee shop, he sometimes had to seek the permission of self-appointed armed guards to cross a border they had erected.
    “They barricaded us all in here,” Mr. Khan said. “And they were sitting in lawn chairs with guns.”
    For 23 days in June, about six blocks in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood were claimed by left-wing demonstrators and declared police-free. Protesters hailed it as liberation — from police oppression, from white supremacy — and a catalyst for a national movement. . . .”

    Yeah I remember the good old days when guys sitting in lawn chairs with guns just had to be hated privileged reactionaries…..cruelly blocking all progressives path to a just and radiant future!

    The Sally Yates’s testimony coupled with the FBI agent’s notes (the dude investigating Mike Flynn) show clearly that:
    a) the Obama Administration is going to throw Jim Comey under the bus as a man gone rouge.
    b) the idea of using the Logan Act came from Joe Biden. Notes reveal from meeting “VP-Logan Act.”
    c) where did a dufus like Sleepy Creepy Joe come up with the idea of using the Logan Act to thwart a member of an incoming administration???? Life imitates art.
    A working theory:
    s “Can you imagine if the Obama Administration vis a vis Joe Biden got the idea for the Logan Act – we know Biden said it, it’s in the FBI’s own notes, ‘Hey, we should hit Flynn with the Logan Act’ – Can you imagine if Biden got the idea from a television show? The craziest thing I have ever heard, except that we’re living in the craziest times ever. And things you previously thought were insane and not even worth entertaining, we seriously have to entertain, or else we’ll never get to the truth.”
    Somebody really needs to ask Biden how he came up with the Logan Act.
    Insane or possible? Readers?“……(Dan Bongino)

    A Dem Big Lie exposed, once again.
    The Leftinistas have been saying that the rioting, looting, and burning the town down is in response to Trump moving G-Men to protect Federal property, such as the Mark Hatfield fed courthouse in Portland. Never mind Trump waited through 7 weeks of daily attacks on federal buildings before he moved security in to Portland to protect federal property and federal agents from the attacks. To pacify the Leftinistas and the Dem mayor and Gov, Portland agreed to protect Federal Property with its own LE.
    Ok, all better now. Trump’s Brownshirts have left the building, no more instigating mob assaults on LE and nightly rampaging, right? Well, not quite. In the first two nights since the Brownshirts stood down, there have been escalated assaults on Federal property management in Portland, Ore. But, but, but..
    We were told that once the Feds withdrew, calm and order would resume. Ha! Big lie that I certainly don’t not fall for.

    PaulE 1200pm – It is more than common knowledge across the land that Barack Hussein Obama was called and went by Barry in his pre-political circles. At one time he was even known as Barry Soetoro along the nefarious route his identity took in the attempt to clear his foreign-entangled roots. So now you know – better late than never.

    RobertC 1110am – were you to check some non-lamestream outlets, you would be aware that the Dem congressional leadership, the DNC, and his immediate handlers are extremely concerned about his unsupervised public presentations. It is they who corroborate that he most definitely is a Bumblebrain. But rejoice in the knowledge that he’s not the only politician so afflicted.

    From last Sandbox, Posted by: Don Bessee | 06 August 2020 at 06:20 PM:
    “Trump Victory data obtained by Axios this week indicated that the campaign’s ground game is continuing to reap positive results. The GOP is reportedly closing the voter registration gap in key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina:
    According to the data obtained by Axios, the GOP has “lessened the margin by 133,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania and 87,000 voters in Florida” while gaining “a net 216,410 voters since Election Day 2016” in North Carolina.”
    You say tomatoe, I say tomato. You say “closing the gap, lessening the margin.” I say out registering the Dems. In Pennsylvania, for example, the R’s are registering new voters and folks as R at a two to one pace over the Dem registration drive. Two to one. Closing the gap? Yes. Kicking the Dems’ butt on the ground? Yes! Dems closing the enthusiasm gap? Hell no.
    Whatever the Dems are doing, I really hope they talk more about peaceful protestors and defunding the police and their whole ball of body wax.

    What to look forward in a Biden presidency…….

    “He’ll be fine; he’ll have a whole Establishment and staff covering for him and keeping him away from microphones. Biden will simply not act as President. The vote is actually for the Biden administration.
    Like most senescent individuals, Biden will shuffle along in a contented daze, fumbling through familiar neural pathways as his executive function disappears. When he starts bumping into walls and dozing off in Cabinet meetings, they’ll tell him to resign and he will.”

    Best time for Biden to gracefully step aside is right after the next mid-terms. Use any nice spin as an excuse, perhaps say his declining health prevents him from faithfully discharging the duties,of the office and feels compelled to selflessly set aside for the good of the country. That way the Dems will have theIr Bernie Sanders-AOC approved VP as POTUS for almost two years before the next general election. Not a bad plan. Didn’t work for Gerald Ford, but who knew a Dem Southern Governor was on the horizon in the form of a peanut farmer. A governor has much more administrative experience than a freshman Jr. Senator from the great state of Illinois. 🙂
    Hey, wasn’t Sarah a Governor of a state? Didn’t she whip the R incumbent’s ass? Didn’t she take on Big Oil against ALL odds and negotiated a deal with Big Oil that benefited every resident of the Great State of Alaska? By Jove, I believe she did.
