What do they know ..that we don't know ?

Understood...

I'll miss you like a toothache...

Look at it this way..................You can always come in and lurk as a guest.......

Frankly, I like shootin the shit ya. We hardly ever agree but that's OK. 

Now, I'll explain why this was a sucker bet for you....I've mentioned at least a half dozen times that after Trump is gone so will I from this forum.

However we did indeed raise the ante by including all forums which is kind of tough because I like to give out winners in the pony forum.

I never entered this forum until Trump came into office & believe it or not I'm not a political guy. So it won't be hard to leave this forums as much as you might believe. I've got about 10 books waiting for me & hopefully soon we'll have sports we can watch & wager on like the good ole days.

"with" ya

"However we did indeed raise the ante by including all forums which is kind of tough because I like to give out winners in the pony forum."

How can it be tough Midnight1?   You're the one giving out the "LOCK" of the YEAR on the Presidential election..so after the election you will still be able to give out pony winners  here on Covers ...because you have a guaranteed win.. Right ?

WOW...you're old enough to know nothing is guaranteed in life except death and taxes.

Right?

Now, Joe Biden has picked up the endorsement of the three big name Party Democrat Bernie, Obama and Hillary,,, there is still one Democrat Biggie who has not come forward to endorse Joe Biden..

I suspect a public endorsement from the patriarch of the Democratic Party...... Bill Clinton, who was impeached for lying about an affair with one of his interns would not go over big at this time...It's conspicuous though,that Hillary has endorsed Joe,without her still loved by the left husband Bill..

Undoubtedly Bill Clinton could be a big help to Biden, for dearly needed fundraising ..as Joe Biden faces a cash disadvantage vs. Trump’ War Chest ..and is in a financial hole as of last month..Some member in the Democrat party are even saying that the "Me Too" movement makes it less likely Bill Clinton will play an active role in the presidential campaign.

However, a prominent endorsement by Bill Clinton at this time.. might not be the best thing for Fingers Biden as he is deals with a sexual assault charge from a former intern...

Oh Dear! Joe Biden is losing MSNBC ...Tom Rodgers the founder of MSNBC and current editor-at-large of Newsweek believes, that Joe Biden is not ready for prime time election season............and has not been able to articulate a winning message..

Rogers explained that while Biden will clearly never be a great orator, he needs to get better at delivering a message. The gaffe-prone candidate has been coming across as forgetful and unable to produce coherent thoughts without forgetting what he was saying...

Tom,,, Joe is doing his best..this the best he can do at delivering a message...he is giving his best performance in his condition.. what you see,is what you will get from here on out..So,Tom..grid your loins...

Former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama officials received information in response to "unmasking" requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the Obama administration .

The list, obtained by CBS News, shows that VP Biden’s office made its request to see Flynn’s identity on January 12, 2017..

Biden said Tuesday that he knew the FBI had “asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it.....  OK Joe.

Biden initially claimed he knew “nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” but was forced to backtrack after ABC’s George Stephanopoulos pointed out Biden was reported to be in an Oval Office meeting on January 5, 2017, in which Flynn was discussed.

Just, because Joe Biden now has amnesia ..no need to pile, that on to his global loss of higher brain functions like dementia..he's got it rough enough already..

Unmasking U.S. identities in intel reports is a fairly routine process that occurs thousands of times a year and is requested by senior administration officials to better understand the context of intercepted conversations that are being reviewed.

This is not just about the unmasking U.S. identities..it's about Joe Biden claiming he knew “nothing” about the plot to target General Flynn .

No matter what spin the media attempt to put to it. None of this is going away...............

Joe is like every politician who have the greatest memories until they can't remember something. Many times these memory failures are just a stalling tactic to frame a situation so they come out smelling like a rose. In so many cases, the person didn't do anything wrong even if it's perceived they did.

In requesting an identity be "unmasked," you by definition don't know who it is so you can't be politically targeting a specific individual. And if the claim is that Flynn's role in the transition made his actions "legal," you are conceding that his identity is relevant.

The problem here for Joe is ...he did knew the specific individual .............in a January 5, 2017 in a secret Oval Office meeting discussing General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak with Obama, Yates, Comey, Rice and Brennan.. Joe Biden was in the meeting..

It was 7 days later on January 12, 2017 he sought to unmask Flynn, so VP Joe Biden knew the specific individual to be unmasked.

Worth noting that the unmasking requests were submitted to the NSA, which means that the NSA was the agency that originally collected and disseminated the intel, not the FBI. Also means they were targeting *foreign nationals located abroad* -- Flynn was an incidental communication & collateral damage.

IMO Flynn is a traitor.

Joe definitely has his faults but I think he will stop the merry go round and playpen activities in the WH, restore confidence with our allies & surround himself with qualified experienced people in critical government positions.  

National Security Agency received a request in Biden's name to unmask Flynn’s identity in a classified transcript..and by Biden requesting to know the identity of the American citizen who was in contact with then-Russian ambassador .. .this is abuse of power,,, unless Biden can show justification..

Nah...you may think it was a fishing expedition but I think they caught a bottom feeder trying to secure his financial future. He made crap in the service & saw an opportunity to get financially fat like everyone else in the Trump circus. 

Speaking of bottom feeders, wait until Trump realizes how much money Brad Pascale has ripped off the RNC. The guy created websites, became the data guru and hit pay dirt with Trump. In Fort Lauderdale, he purchased a 2.4 million dollar home, 2 condos costing 400k each, a new boat and a Ferrari.

Constitutional scholar and liberal law Professor Jonathan Turley responded with concern to the release of a newly unclassified memo documenting the list of Obama administration officials who requested that former Trump national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn be unmasked.

Professor Turley  “It should be a matter of concern that the Obama Administration conducted such surveillance and investigation of the opposing party with no strong evidence of collusion.”

“Joe Biden was one of those who unmasked Flynn during the investigation,” Turley added. “Biden was just on the air first denying any knowledge of the investigation and then saying ‘I was aware that…they asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it.’

Who are they Joe?

Joe Biden claimed on Thursday that he does not remember Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who came forward in March with a 1993 sexual assault allegation and suggested that those who believe her claims shouldn't vote for him. Biden reiterated "there is no truth" to Reade's claims. She is a lying,dog-face pony soldier...

Joe to Trump: "It seems the way to get fired by Trump is not to commit wrongdoing but to investigate it."

Well done Joe, well done.

Joe refers to Trump as "President Tweety."

Lawyers in Cali are reviewing criminal cases in which Tara Reade testified as an "expert" witness on domestic violence and they are concerned she misrepresented her credentials in court.

It appears she lied about receiving a BA from Antioch University. She did attend classes but never received a degree. She also claimed to hold a position as a "legislative assistant" while only attaining a position of staff assistant. 

Well, she has shown to have at least 2 different versions on many of her stories.

Confucius said "When you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."  

Joe Biden appeared on the Breakfast Club on Friday morning and told the black community...

“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump then you ain’t Black,” said Biden.....You have to wonder how Corn Pop feels about this.

I see Joe..a person should vote for a candidate based on their race...Ok!

..and who made Biden the arbitrator on who is black and who isn't in the first place ?............

Just watched this and my old lady, who's a white chick mind you, noticed how when talking to black people he kinda does this Leslie Nielson in Airplane, "Excuse me, I speak jive..." thing. It's subtle but it's there. Biden's goose is cooked. Also today, I heard the audio of Biden's quid pro quo phone call with the President of Ukraine. Democrats are flipping idiots. How are you gonna nominate a guy who is recorded doing the same thing you tried to impeach Trump for WITH THE SAME DAMN COUNTRY!?! Midnight is right, you can't make this stuff up?

This isn't the first or last ignorant comment by Joe.

Unfortunately,  Biden's brain is cooked and it's sad to see his functions deteriorating before our eyes.  What's terrible is those around him only encourage him to go on, while he himself is in denial about his decline. 

I think it's safe to say that his VP pick is the de-facto Democratic presidential nominee.
