[AmGreatness] Sometime-Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden was at it again, voicing his brand of tough-guy boasts that he can "beat Trump like a drum."
A 1980s sci-fi cult film about a weirdo, Buckaroo Banzai, who travels through time dimensions in many manifestations battling evil and saving good guys reminds us of the latest incarnation of Joe Biden.
Biden sees himself as something similar, as Americans are reacquainting themselves with the three-time presidential candidate, who for years has been regaling audiences as the swashbuckling hero of an amazing repertoire of his own larger than life stories.
Sometimes the bard Buckaroo Biden entertains crowds as the self-sacrificing tribal white knight who physically stood down punks who threatened his family.
Sometimes Biden becomes Captain America Biden who stands up to his country’s enemy bullies abroad who would corrupt the international order.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Rudy Giuliani claimed Monday that he's learned that a Ukrainian laundered $3 million through Joe Biden's son, and the Obama administration had a prosecutor fired to cover the scandal up.
The personal attorney to President Trump claimed in tweets and in a television appearance that he has 'evidence' to support the allegation, although he did not share it on either medium.
Giuliani demanded Democrats launch an investigation into the charges he's levying against the former vice president and leading presidential candidate and said its Biden who should have to prove he's innocent of criminal conduct.
'Biden says he never talked to his son about his overseas business. Do you think we can prove, with our fact a day disclosures, it’s a lie-a false exculpatory statement. Do we have to prove, or do you already know, it’s a lie, and an incriminating statement,' the attorney asked.
[Breitbart] Less than a year after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declared herself vindicated for being less than two percent Native American, the former Harvard University professor is leading in multiple state and national polls for the 2020 Democrat nomination for president.
In the most recent Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom poll out of Iowa, Warren took the lead with 22 percent of Democrat primary voters for the first time. Former Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, fell to second place with 20 percent, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) trailed in third with 11 percent. "Ima gonna have myself a beer to celebrate"
When Democrat primary voters were asked who their second choice for president would be, Warren gained 20 percent of voters for a combined first and second choice tally of 42 percent. Biden, on the other hand, is only the second choice for about ten percent of voters, while Sanders about doubles his prospects.
Warren had led hugely against her Democrat contenders in an Iowa Starting Line-Change Research poll from August. In that poll, Warren surged past Biden and Sanders by 11 points, earning nearly 30 percent of support overall.
Since the second Democrat presidential primary debate on September 12, Warren’s Real Clear Politics average of Iowa polls leads all other candidates with 23 percent. Biden comes in with 20.3 percent average post-debate in Iowa, while Sanders garners 12 percent.
Warren’s surge in Iowa, though, has been met with confrontation from some farmers in the agricultural state who vehemently oppose the Green New Deal, which she has endorsed. In one conversation, an Iowa farmer confronted Warren over her support for the plan, which he said would cripple his industry because of its goals to eliminate cows.

When people start paying more attention after the nomination process, they'll be turned off by this condescending, lecturing, screechy and completely uncharming battleax that 'has a big government socialist five-year type plan for everything' like all of us are - a painful reminder that the Dems just nominated Hillary 2.0, and I can't wait until it happens.

The best part will be how unconvincing her "move to the center" will be if she wins the nomination. Might actually make Swillary look credible by comparison...

Won't find the road to the White House even with a Tom Tom.
[FOXNEWS] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Rep. Devin Nunes predicted on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... 's campaign is likely coming to an end -- all because of newly resurfaced reports about his possible misconduct in Ukraine that "first originated back when Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... was trying to make sure Biden didn’t get in the race."
The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee made the claim as The Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom poll showed Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... surging ahead of Biden as the first choice of 22 percent of the voters surveyed, while Biden was the first choice of 20 percent of the voters. Biden held a 9-point lead over Warren in the poll as recently as June.
Nunes, speaking to anchor Maria Bartiromo, said a whistleblower's allegation that President Trump had acted inappropriately during a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will ultimately backfire, and shine a light on Biden's own possible misconduct. CNN later acknowledged that the whistleblower had no first-hand knowledge of the call, and a top Ukrainian official on Saturday defended Trump's actions.
[DAILYCALLER] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020... claimed he never discussed Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... a July article from The New Yorker belies that contention.
"I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," Biden told Fox News news hound Peter Doocy on Saturday in Iowa before calling on President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... to be investigated over a phone call he made to Ukraine’s president.
The New Yorker article, titled "Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father’s Campaign?" is an in depth look at Hunter Biden’s life and business dealings. It also contains a segment where Hunter apparently recalled discussing Ukrainian natural-gas producer Burisma "just once."
In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden, but did not go so far as to recommend that Hunter leave the board. As Hunter recalled, his father discussed Burisma with him just once: "Dad said, ’I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ’I do.’ "
The inconsistency was pointed out on Twitter by Daily Mail U.S. political editor David Martosko:
During a July 25 phone call, a whistleblower claims President Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at least eight times to investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings in the country.
However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... a senior administration official told Fox News’ Ed Henry that the call contained "no quid pro quo," and that it would be "in the president’s interest" to release the call transcript.

Biden made Ukraine fire top prosecutor investigating son’s firm
Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.
In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor 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 recalled telling Poroshenko.

My guess he'll be dropping out within a few days due to stressful medical issues. Staying in the race paints a bullseye squarely on Hunter's young arse.
[BIZPACREVIEW] On Friday, a progressive New York Supreme Court judge presiding over a lawsuit ordered President Trump to give a videotaped deposition, saying Trump’s testimony is "indispensable."
State Supreme Court Judge Doris Gonzalez of the Bronx denied Trump attorneys’ efforts to halt the subpoena requiring him to videotape a deposition for the trial before jury selection begins September 26.
The suit was filed by protesters "involved in an incident" outside Trump Tower in September 2015, claiming they were assaulted by security staff.
Six protesters of Mexican origin sued Trump, the Trump Organization, his presidential campaign, and security personnel, according to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
Trump’s attorneys argued that to force a sitting president to give a deposition requires a "showing of exceptional circumstances" and that he would be a witness possessing unique first-hand knowledge of the claims.
Gonzalez rejected that argument. "President Trump’s relationship with the other defendants is now central to plaintiffs’ prosecution of their claims," she wrote. "As such, his testimony is indispensable."
The judge took advantage of the opportunity to pointedly bash the President, adding: "More than 200 years ago our founders sought to escape an oppressive, tyrannical governance in which absolute power vested with a monarch. Put more plainly, no government official, including the Executive, is above the law."
Benjamin Dictor, attorney for the plaintiffs, argued in court papers against the suit’s defendants that they were attacked by security guards in a "negligent or reckless manner" outside the main entrance to Trump Tower and their signs were confiscated. They were demonstrating against then-candidate Trump’s comments about illegal Mexican immigrants colonists, claiming he was a racist.
Dictor said his intent is to claim Trump "condoned and directed the violent actions of his staffer Sept. 3, 2015," according to the New York Post.
"This is a case about Mr. Trump’s responsibility as an employer of individuals who were authorized to use force in the course of their duties as employees to him and to the Trump Organization and to the Trump campaign," Dictor told Law.com.

There's more than enough evidence to bring impeachment charges against those democrats.

So our very own pencil neck is a part of the Neo-Pharasees who took a formerly noble institution and turned it into a third world 7/24 den of coup minded vipers. They trully are representatives of large swaths of a fallen nation, such as Hollywood, a part of pencil neck's district.

And here I thought Schifferbrains had been so quiet lately.
Clearly, the donks are throwing Biden under the bus just so they can make another empty threat of impeachment. It would seem they really are coalescing around Fauxcahontas and drifting even further toward international fraternal socialism.

Com'on, For the Schiff brigade the fact that Trump breathes justifies impeachment.
A total of 55 Knesset members recommended to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu be the one tasked with forming the next government, making it likely that Rivlin will acquiesce to their demand.
Previously, Blue and White candidate MK Benny Gantz had 57 MKs recommending him for premier. However, Rivlin accepted the request by the Joint Arab List's Balad faction to withdraw their recommendation, leaving Gantz with a maximum of just 44 recommendations.

why can't you study the Torah and join the military ?
One can, of course, but the whole point here is that the state support them while they study and do nothing else. In those communities otherwise the parents, the wife’s parents, or the wife working while also attending to the household and rearing copious children (the end point of need-no-man feminism) support the gentleman graciously devoting his life to study so they don’t have to. Naturally, they would prefer other people to provide the funding. And of course, they don’t see why they should step up to defend a country they don’t believe in.
Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman said on Sunday that his party would not recommend either Blue and White leader Benny Gantz or Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the president to form the next government.
Speaking at a meeting of the Yisrael Beytenu faction, Liberman said that both leaders had shown insufficient willingness to decouple themselves from more natural political allies on both the right wing and left wing of the political spectrum.
He called again, however, for a national unity government between Blue and White and Likud, and said that Gantz and Netanyahu should not drag the country into new elections simply over who gets to be prime minister first in a rotation agreement.
"When Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud decided to create a bloc with the ultra-Orthodox parties and then with the group of messianics, we can’t recommend Benjamin Netanyahu," Liberman said, using his derogatory "messianics" label for the right-wing, religious Yamina party. "He can’t be our recommendation and we can’t be part of this bloc."
Liberman ruled out Gantz as well, alleging that the Blue and White leader was seeking to establish a government with the ultra-Orthodox ‐ who Liberman has vowed to keep out of government ‐ and the Joint List, whom Liberman said he could never sit in government with.
"I have already said that I see the ultra-Orthodox parties as political opponents and not as an enemy," intoned Liberman. "The Joint List is, however, certainly an enemy and not political opponents, and wherever they are we will be on the other side of the aisle." That's my homie!
