Why are you so obsessed with me, Mr. President? pic.twitter.com/BbAawEvQo6— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 14, 2020
Some random thoughts:
1. Who is that music supposed to be for? Does it cheer some people up? Make them feel "pumped"? To me, it's so aggressive that I could barely pay attention to the voiceover, and it just seems ludicrously bad, like somebody without musical talent was trying to recreate the MTV theme from the 80s:
2. With my mental space occupied 85% by how irritating the music was, what can I remember without rewatching? It seemed to be a bunch of clips of Trump saying "Biden" and an assertion that Trump is "obsessed" with Biden and that this obsession exists because Biden is the one candidate that Trump believes will be able to beat him. But I'm sure a montage of Trump saying "Sanders" or "Warren" or "Boot-edge-edge" could be assembled. The saying of the name doesn't prove the obsession.
3. Trump is so tricky that if he were sending out the signal that Biden is the one opponent he fears, I would suspect that he doesn't fear him.
4. There were various words on screen and statements by the voiceover telling us Joe Biden is experienced and ready to go on Day One. Basically, he's qualified and he can win. Lukewarm material. Maybe that explains the addition of the distracting, annoying music.
5. We're shown poll numbers indicating Biden would beat Trump in some key states, including Wisconsin. But I remember the most recent Marquette poll showing only one candidate beating Trump in Wisconsin. That person was Cory Booker.
6. I'll rewatch the ad after I put up the post and update with any new impressions.
ADDED: I rewatched. It was very unpleasant. We see lots of pictures of Trump and hear his voice yelling "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden," "Biden." I think Democrats imagine that there's a successful political move known as "getting under Trump's skin." They've been trying to do that and claiming to have done that for the entire Trump presidency. I think they are deluding themselves. Trump gets energy from opposition. Nothing wears him down. He's not losing it, and the idea that Biden as his opponent would drive him into some sort of self-destructive frenzy is at best silly.

Heh.
You are to be admired for your strength, Inga. I have three adult children and I can’t even contemplate losing one of them. May you continue to find the inner fortitude, peace and faith you will need.

So Democrats, knowing that a crapstorm from hell is about to drop on them via the Biden's corrupt dealings with Burisma, just hired an IT firm to claim that THE RUSSIANS are hacking Burisma to get dirt on Joe. Thus, of course, meaning that the Bidens must *once again* be held utterly immune from all investigation and accusation.
The only way they could think we're this fucking stupid is because they are surrounded by people that fucking stupid, namely, each other.
Question?
Would not a charity doing worthy things still be worthy beyond the power structure behind it?
ISSUES & INSIGHTS: Hillary Clinton Vindicated On Corruption Charges? Hardly. “As soon as political access to the Clintons became worthless, so did the foundation.”
Noted the media are all over the "Russians are hacking Burisma" story.
Smells to high heaven. Our media is corrupt.
"Joe Biden will be 78 y/o in Jan 2021. He's too fucking OLD to be POTUS.”
He’s perfect if your Veep is a raging red leftie who could never get elected otherwise.
It's funny how the Russians always show up right when the democrats need them. Those pesky Russians! It's also funny how Soviet the modern left are now.
Isn't it strange we have another Democrat being "hacked" by the Russian's but the people verifying this "hacking" are not the U.S govt. but a for hire *cough cough* Crowdstrike* cough* outfit bankrolled by the democratic party. Funny how that keeps happening. But something tells me this is too late as Giuliani has the goods from other Ukranian govt. entities and has followed the money trail back to "Cokie" Biden. Nice try, but you can't keep running the same sloppy play over and over again and expect a better result.
Seems like only yesterday...
Wait, it was yesterday
Someone was mocking Inga saying she would probably tell us that the Russian gulags were really pretty nice with flowers and flowing brooks and so on.
We had a good laugh over that. Who could possibly believe that? Or even pretend to believe it?
Completely un-possible!
Then today, James O'Keefe releases a new tape with various unhinged, but official, campaign workers for the Sanders campaign.
I kid you not. One of his campaign workers was going on about how all Trump supporters need to be arrested, sent to camps, re-educated etc.
And then, to top is all off, he started talking about how the Gulags were really not bad at all, they just have a bad rap because of CIA propaganda, in reality they were nice rest and re-education camps.
Not quite full Inga but close.
I think the Trump campaign has a rich motherlode of material for TV ads.

and Rosemont Seneca, which was the pass through, isn't a subsidiary of burisma, it's another enterprise entirely, which involves devon archer and his pal allen ho, or cgn, whose slap on the wrist for trading nuclear secrets three years ago, did occasion the attention of the administration,

The music is from the 8 track that was in Biden's Trans Am.
Someone earlier mentioned SloJo's tattoo so I Binged it looking for a picture. I found one, but from the Onion so perhaps a fake.
On the other hand, I did find a picture of SloJoe standing beside the TransAm in the midst of washing it. Shirtless and (Gasp!! The horror!!) in shorts. Not an image anyone really wants to see. Not bad for a 70+ year old man but still, he is 70+ and none of us look good topless at that age.
It made me think of the famous picture of Putin, shirtless on a horse. What a campaign ad that would be:
Putin topless on the horse and Biden Biden topless with his TransAm. Still working on the caption but something along the lines of "A horse? In America we have TransAms!"
John Henry
Isn’t Rosemont Seneca that firm that bilked some Indian tribe out of millions of dollars and then skated because it was not possible to prove intent?
...it used to be the Bossa Nova
But now, if you lose an election,
got kiddie prawn on your hard drive,

or your homework's not done and your dog is anorexic

catchy tune, but the lyrics need to be updated to more current
One of his [Sanders] campaign workers was going on about how all Trump supporters need to be arrested, sent to camps, re-educated etc.
All 63,000,000 of us? Gonna need a lot of Gulags.
Thanks for showing us who you really are though. Remember that old saying. When someone shows you who they are....believe them. And be prepared to respond.
that's the one I believe, at least that devon archer's gig,
Now contemplate this: People were paid to look at the ad storyboards, and they green-lighted it. People were paid to produce it. People were paid to review the finished ad, and they okayed it for broadcasting. And if Biden yes nominated they will be trusted to make more ads. If he wins next November [shivers] then they can pretty much count on senior, well-paid, positions in the Biden administration.
A news release from the company said Hunter Biden would “be in charge of the holdings’ legal unit and will provide support for the company among international organizations.” Mr. Biden said the news release mischaracterized his role with Burisma. “At no time was I in charge of the company’s legal affairs,” he said.
Among the Americans brought in by Hunter Biden’s American business partners to help fend off the investigations was Blue Star Strategies, a consulting firm run by Clinton administration veterans that had done substantial work in Ukraine.
A team from Blue Star, and an American lawyer Blue Star hired, John D. Buretta, who had served as a senior official in the Obama Justice Department, held two previously unreported meetings in Kiev, Ukraine’s capital, with Mr. Lutsenko, who took office in May 2016 after Mr. Shokin’s dismissal, according to people with direct knowledge of the meetings. Mr. Lutsenko denied attending the meeting.
Mr. Lutsenko initially took a hard line against Burisma. But within 10 months after he took office, Burisma announced that Mr. Lutsenko and the courts had “fully closed” all “legal proceedings and pending criminal allegations” against Mr. Zlochevsky and his companies, and that the oligarch had been removed by a Ukrainian court from “the wanted list.” Mr. Zlochevsky returned to the country.. - New York Times
Son of a bitch!
Rosemont Seneca Bohai was controlled by Mr. Archer, who left Burisma’s board after he was charged in connection with a scheme to defraud pension funds and an Indian tribe of tens of millions of dollars. Bank records submitted in that case — which resulted in a conviction for Mr. Archer that was overturned in November — show that Rosemont Seneca Bohai made regular payments to Mr. Biden that totaled as much as $50,000 in some months.. - New York Times
Remember that “Kerry family friend” Devon Archer, skated because they couldn’t prove intent.
Intent only matters to prosecutors if they want to find a person innocent in spite of all of the evidence. Malign intent is assumed if the plan is to convict the person.

Yeah, Biden could go on Reddit and find teen aged Trump/Boomer/America haters to do a better job for free.

New video posted by NYT shows two missiles fired by Iran at the Ukrainian airliner. They were fired about thirty seconds apart, with the second missile launched after the first had already hit the plane. No ‘crossfire’, no ‘error’, no ‘fog of war’ - no excuses.
This does raise the question if it was not accidental.
there's no if about it,

For the many condolences, prayers and sympathy from so many commenters, I thank you from my heart. It’s life affirming to know we can connect via our humanity.
This are the people in Iran that Pelosi is defending while attacking the protesters:
Iran’s judiciary spokesman said Robert Macaire had played a “provocative role” when he attended a vigil at the weekend for passengers killed in the passenger jet crash last week, amid ever-worsening tensions between the UK and Iran.
“He's not losing it, and the idea that Biden as his opponent would drive him into some sort of self-destructive frenzy is at best silly.”
And at worst evidence of insanity. Theirs.
I'd forgotten where I saw it. Then checked zero hedge and there it was
"there's a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags," adding "And actually, gulags were a lot better than what the CIA has told us that they were. Like, people were actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were actually menat for like re-education."
