Watch Joe Biden’s tense exchange with a voter in Iowa who accuses him of selling access to the White House with his son in Ukraine and being too old for the presidency— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) December 5, 2019

MEANWHILE: There's some talk about making Trump crazy:
This seems like a pretty good ad in that: a) Biden has been hammering away at this theme; and b) It will drive Trump crazy. https://t.co/5mqt0Mz9hy— Daniel W. Drezner (@dandrezner) December 5, 2019
AND: Here's where Trump is calling them "crazy":
The Do Nothing Democrats had a historically bad day yesterday in the House. They have no Impeachment case and are demeaning our Country. But nothing matters to them, they have gone crazy. Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 5, 2019
ALSO: It sure seems to me as though Biden calls that man "fat." Why is Biden yelling at that guy? He's asking a question that Biden should be prepared to answer briskly and soundly. There's zero reason to go off on the man.
PLUS: Biden did the same thing back in 1988 — challenged a citizen interlocutor to an IQ test:

Joe doesn't seem to have much self-knowledge. He's never been as smart or as talented or as tough as he thought (and said) he was, and he's the last person to restore respect to the country and the presidency. I'd like to think that people can see themselves clearly and still rise in the political world, but if Biden had been more clear sighted and perceptive about his abilities, we wouldn't be talking about him now.
Pelosi looked like a malfunctioning animatronic robot in that clip.
We need even more loony outbursts from Pelosi and Biden. We need them to make themselves look like fools while chiding individuals who represent the electorate. It's the only forward out of this mess for them.
I WANT SOME TROLL HOUSE COOKIES!!!!
Shouldn't that be "Troll Althouse cookies?"

Projection.
Is there life experience truly so limited they've never encountered a genuine blowhard like Trump?
Maybe no. I've met plenty of blowhards in my day, but no one like Trump.
Some commentators are saying Biden called the gentleman "Fat"... I've listened a few times and it's not entirely clear.
My first impression is that Biden started to say "look fatso..." but cut himself off.
Iowa is one of the fattest states in the US. Fat-shaming is a pretty stupid move.

Human being are always more complicated than they look from the outside but it strikes me that "The Godfather Part II" could have been talking about Trump here.
"Hyman Roth: There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Greene, and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!"

Nancy is losing it.

I just wish the man asking Biden the questions had agreed to the push-up duel. If the man had dropped down, done 25 push-ups, and thrown in a few jumping jacks, he could have then said, "Your turn, you f'g asshole."
______&&&&&&-------
Start with jumping jacks. Biden would have lost dentures.
Let’s face it: Joe and Nancy’s voters are the ones getting their naughty bits sunburned with the latest craze, perineum sunning. Tells you everything you need to know.
Drezner remains clueless. Is there no one in the academy with a functioning brain?
Pelosi is riding the tiger. She can neither control it nor dismount.
Daily Mail reports on the Corpulent American--he was in the Corps!

Usually presidents age in office. Trump seems to, as Merlin said in Camelot, “youthen."
$____&&&&&-----
To hold an unchanging youth is to reach at the end, the vision with which one started.
Ayn Rand
It is entirely clear he said “look, fat”. What he meant to say is anyone guess. Maybe that Kamala Harris was clean, or he would withhold federal funds unless Iowa fired a prosecutor. But he most certainly said fat. That of course fits with the sedentary remark as well.

Who will Biden pick as his running mate

Hillary+ billion $$ life insurance for family.
Maybe insurance investigator will nail Hillary!!??
"At 52%, Trump’s approval is the highest daily number since September 24th of this year (53% approved, 45% disapproved).
Thursday’s 52% approval was driven by men voicing strong approval of Trump (59%-40%). More women disapproved (53%) of the president than approved (46%).
Only 31% of black likely voters voiced approval of Trump on Thursday, as 67% disapproved. But, 61% of all other minority voters approved of Trump, while only 38% disapproved. Trump’s approval was also net positive among white voters (53%-46%)."

Sorry ladies, but something is just wrong with your judgement.
Amazing that Trump's strongest numbers are with non-Black minorities.
Except roth (lansky) had to have given the order, of course virginiA hill had made off with the money
Well those are some pretty good numbers
What was striking about both videos is that both Biden and Pelosi just looked desperate in their angry responses. These are experienced politicians- both of them- and to lose it like that is just a shocking loss of self-control.
I just wanted to go on record that Ace is the Place and J.J. Sefton rocks the Morning Report M-F with glorious commentary and links for days.
Imagine if Biden were subjected to 1% of what Trump gets hurled at him every day.
What a remarkable 1988 Biden clip:
..Biden before he overcame, by effort and sacrifice, or by happy circumstance, early onset male pattern baldness;
..the questioner, finger to lips classic "it is my turn to talk" gesture;
..the self-important overdone recitation of academic credentials;
..the sudden transition to rote recitation of "it seems to me..." (me, me, me, me);
..accompanied by repeated harsh finger jabs;
..finally the bald (heh!) proclamation that the American People need to change their attitude.
What an asshole. Vote for Biden. He is smart, educated. He will give us the Government we want. Harangue us on the errors of our ways and whip us herd-like on a path to he-knows-where.
Asshole then, asshole now. Some assholes never change their pucker.
I can hardly wait for Crooked Hillary to join the fray, so Slow Joe can challenge her to a push up contest.
I want to see people outside of Biden rallies holding signs challenging him to a pushup contest. Even better if there's more outside doing that than inside actually attending the rally.
Those who still support Trump are hypocrites if they say other politicians are crazy and ding them for being rude and crude.
Howard @ 6:53 PM: That might be good. I take back my statement that you are only able to make negative contributions.
"Just when Trump is calling the Democrats "crazy,"...."
So I'm supposed to be concerned what the socialist Euroweenies think of Trump?
Those who still support Trump are hypocrites if they say other politicians are crazy and ding them for being rude and crude.
What?
That smells a lot like “Everybody knows Russia interfered in our election not Ukraine” and other progressive bullshit. One can appreciate the insanity of Nancypants and the stupid crudity of Biden’s entire career, and still acknowledge how Trump seems crazy or extraordinarily rude to people with limited memory or brainpower, perhaps slower than normal people who are unaware of JOHNSON roaming the Whitehouse naked and holding “press conferences” on the toilet and the entire career of give-em-hell Harry Truman and remain thoroughly ignorant of every Republican candidate from Goldwater to now being called a Nazi by his opponent.
We’re sick of YOUR fucking hypocrisy in attacking Trump as some unique phenom. Get ready for a 48-state landslide Dummy!
I just found out that that guy Biden was berating was 83 years old. Push-ups? That's just another insult.
“I still pray for the president” is the equivalent of the euphemistic and ironic Southern “God bless you”. “Heart full of love” indeed!
At this point in history, if you're a true-believing fan of government, and really think that giving the State more power will result in Utopia, you ARE crazy. Or extremely stupid.
