"The acting US ambassador to Ukraine testified that he was told that the release of US military aid to the country was dependent on Ukraine publicly vowing to investigate Joe Biden and his son as well as the 2016 election, a new report said Tuesday.
Testimony from William Taylor contradicted President Trump’s denial that there was a quid pro quo and that he used the nearly $400 million as leverage for personal political gain, the Washington Post reported."

So Trump is despicable, awful, odious, abhorrent... how about Uncle Joe? His excuse at the end of this is pathetic.

It was a hyperbolic and insensitive analogy then as now, obviously.
It is no secret that Biden has long been a gaffe machine, even when he was sharper than he is now. It is only against someone like Trump that so overwhelming dwarfs his gaffes with his own that he'd have a chance. Against a normal candidate, Biden's own long history of gaffes would get tons more play. Against Trump though, all they'd be used as is a thin shield against his own comments. But there are differences in frequency, proportionality and intent that would make those comparisons weak. Still, it is obviously one more thing to consider, just as HRC's defense of her husband were used as a shield by Trump to protect himself from all of his own infidelities and sexual assault claims.Last edited by Sour Masher; 10-23-2019, 08:57 AM.Comment

Biden apologized shortly after saying partisan lynching. Did Trump apologize? Did Trump say partisan lynching, or just lynching? Also, Trump has daily used his office to gaslight, with some dozen tweets plus a day simply lying in his disparagement of who he perceives to be his enemies. His enemies namely being not just political opponents, but media, press, law enforcement, and people of dark skin. In trying to take a shot at Biden by equating his not same thing to trump, you are in effect defending evil in form of Trump.Comment

No, he's just trying to say that Biden is also evil. He's been saying it for awhile now. I disagree, but it certainly is hypocritical of Biden. Nonetheless, equating Biden with Trump because of a comment he made 20 years ago is just as idiotic and despicable as those who equated Clinton with Trump four years ago.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.

Allow me to clarify. I actually think the uproar over Trump's use of the word "lynching" is unreasonable. Although it's an indelicate use of the term, Trump has never shown a deft use of language, to say the least.
Of course, using the terms "lynching" or "lynch mob" was much more common in 1998 than today, and carried much less taboo. I don't think either Biden or Trump are very thoughtful or artful speakers, but I don't think in this case it's much of an indictment of either. It would be nice if one of Trump's horrible flaws wasn't mimicked by Biden though.
I actually think it shows how the media has lost the right wing by overhyping personal mistakes. Especially attacking him on this issue, essentially using non politically correct language. He wins on issues like that.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly."

So Trump's lawyer today argued that he can't be prosecuted even if he shot someone in the street. It's nice that Republicans have abandoned any sense of reality in their defense of their cult-leader.

So any never Trump republicans here? Our potus thinks you are human scum. Truly, he is a leader that brings grace and dignity to the office and honor and respect to America around the world. It is no wonder that so many still back him so passionately. Why some even want to take up arms to defend him against impeachment! Truly, only a leader who has succeeded in Making America Great Again would engender such fierce loyalty. It is such a relief to me that my kids now get to grow up in great America and not the cespool it was just a couple of years ago.Comment

MLB umpire Rob Drake, a full-time ump since 2010, tweeted out that if Trump got impeached he would “grab his AR-15 and start a CIVAL WAR (sic).” Naturally, Repubs on social media came to his defense immediately, [wrongly] saying he can’t be punished by MLB because of Freedom of Speech. I wonder if they said the same about Colin Kaepernick? Hmmmm.Comment
