[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]

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.

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.

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.

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. 🙂
