"May we riot now?"

 

It's a podcast. Topics: Joe and Hunter Biden, Facebook and Twitter, Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow, George Floyd and Ice Cube, Generation Alpha, the feminist Medusa monument and the isolated anarchist. 

I read the text of the last day of this blog and expand and digress as I see fit at the time.

This thread is only for discussing the podcast. If you're looking for an open thread, scroll down until you find one (or wait until the end of the day).

NBC decision to host Trump actually helps Biden. Clearly the Biden strategy all along has been, the less voters see of Biden the better.

Joe Smith said...

I didn't know anybody need permission these days...

Btw, love the proper 'may.'

You don't understand why we mock the "late porn star."

Floyd was a violent felon.

As soon as he got out of prison he was right back to taking drugs and crime. He died because his lungs were 3 times the normal weight.

That means a drug overdose for the stupid people. His death had nothing to do with the police. As soon as he took lethal amounts of Fentanyl he was going to die.

I don't think he should be arrested for drug use. But I also don't believe he should be turned into a martyr and used to start a race war. He should have died in his car alone unless he was endangering other people on the road.

Your problem Ann is you have your head in the sand.

You really don't like the deplorables.

You think you are better than us. You don't want to listen to us. You get mad when everything on this blog is not about you.

The only story right now is the censorship story and the coverup. We all knew that Joe Biden was a crook. Democrat voters obviously don't care about corruption. Ann herself voted for the most corrupt politician in history.

The real story is the Corporate Nazi activity going on right now. The FBI has had this hard drive since December. For stupid people that is before the Ukraine Impeachment. That fiasco started about the same time the FBI got this hard drive. Now all of the biggest corporations in this country and the law enforcement arms of the federal government are clearly trying to destroy our Republic.

We are on the brink of war.

Our government is clearly corrupt and the people who support Joe Biden clearly want us all dead or subjugated.

We will not go quietly.

You all better get your shit together and start taking this seriously.

George Floyd has been turned into a secular saint and he was not. His own actions caused his death.

We have nearly the same deal in Omaha with James "JuJu" Scurlock. He was a violent felon and while trying to kill a bar owner, the bar owner killed him in self defense. But for many Dems in Nebraska, Scurlock is the victim. He brought it on himself.

BTW I’ve seen videos of Japanese using small tabletop tripods to hold their iPhones in place for hands-free recording. Amazon has some.

So I think the information has been a “known” for awhile and was looking for a way out.

Take a look at Biden’s response on the subject during a Democrat primary town hall in Iowa, from The Guardian :

Here is a further picture of the exchange from CNBC:


“OK, I’ve got two problems with you,” said the man after introducing himself as an “old, Iowa retired farmer.”

“One, you’re damn near as old as I am. You’re too old for the job. I am 83 and I know damn well I don’t have the mental faculties I did when I was 30 years ago. All right ... forget that stuff.”

“I got a question I want you to answer,” said the man.

“We all know Trump has been messing around in Ukraine over there, holding their foreign aid for them to come up saying they’re going to investigate you. We know all about that. He’s no backbone. We know that,” the man said.

“But you on the other hand sent your son over there to get a job and work for a gas company that he had no experience with gas or nothing in order to get access for the president. You’re selling access to the president just like he does ...”

Biden then shot back.

“You’re a damn liar, man!” Biden said. “That’s not true and no one has ever said that. No one has proved that.”

″I see it on the TV,” the man said.

Biden said, “No one has said my son has done anything wrong and I did not on any occasion.”

When the man interjected, “I didn’t say you were doing anything wrong,” Biden became angrier.

“You said I set up my son to work in an oil company. Isn’t that what you said? Get your words straight, Jack,” Biden said.

When the man said he had heard the claim on MSNBC, Biden snapped: “You don’t hear that on MSNBC.”

“You do not hear that at all,” Biden said. “Look, OK, I’m not going to get into an argument with you, man.”

When the man said, “I don’t want to either,” Biden said, “Well, yeah, you do.”

“But look, fat, here’s the deal,” Biden said.

The man then said, “It looks, it looks like you don’t have any more backbone than Trump does.”

Biden said to the crowd then: “Any other questions?”

“Yeah, all right. I’m not voting for you,” the man said.

Biden replied, “I knew you weren’t, man.”

“You think I’d thought you’d stand up and vote for me? You’re too old to vote for me.”

(For some reason CNBC leaves out the part where Biden threatens the guy with push ups. Can’t seem to find that part of the dialogue.)

Why do you assume that Andy is being derogatory about George Floyd?

He may have admired the man's equipment and thought it was a piece of information that people might like to know. No big deal or maybe it was a big deal to Andy. Who knows?

We are about the same age, but you strike me as looking at this from a very old fashioned perspective.

Speaking of thinking you recognize a celeb, when I was a kid my mother's right wing friend talked us into going to a Goldwater rally in 1964.

I wandered up close to the stage, and saw someone I'd seen on TV all my life! the kid next me said, who's that, is it somebody famous? and I said yeah - George Murphy! I mean he was the old movie star who'd been elected to the Senate in 1962.

I was close! It was Ronald Reagan. He was close enough here me, too, like an arm's length. But he just smiled and watched for his cue to go up and speak.

How was I to know he was up and coming?

Blogger Achilles said..."The real story is the Corporate Nazi activity going on right now. The FBI has had this hard drive since December. For stupid people that is before the Ukraine Impeachment. "

That is what ticks me off. During the entire impeachment hearing, which was about Ukraine, corruption, and whether or not it was proper for the President to ask about Joe Biden's actions, the FBI had this laptop and this information. But, they remained quiet. If the computer guy hadn't been smart enough to know the FBI was not trustworthy, we would have never heard about the emails.

Meanwhile, the legal profession, both in academic and practicing attorneys, all just smile and nod their heads as they repeat "OrangeManBad" repeatedly, while we watch the rule of law and equal justice in this country be destroyed. Having worked as a legal assistant in both private practice and in academia, I have lost all trust in the profession. It is so disappointing.

Love the narrator’s voice. Audible would pay big money for that voice.

Ice Cube @icecube 4h

"So the POWERS that be cancelled my interview on @CuomoPrimeTime tonight. I’ve actually been ban from @CNN for a few months so I was surprised they even asked. But it seems like they can’t handle the truth."

Ice Cube went off the fridge... or something.

It is worse than that.

They tried to impeach Trump becausethey knew this information was out there.

Hunter Biden "underage obsession" found on laptop? SHORTEYES? Fits!

It's the Floyd George police that got the raw deal.

I agree with the sound of Ann's voice. Easy to listen to. The subtle voice inflections with the added explaining make it easier to be convinced of her position on a particular matter. Plus with her wry cruel neutrality admitted who she's not voting for president. And finally talks about how she has most of us commenters pegged. All in a single listening. So warm and inviting why should you miss out, tell?
