Tweet #2 is interesting.

My first thought, upon reading this stat:
"I'll bet that almost none of these donors have a Biden/Harris sign in their front yards."

Sometimes, clues are more subtle- and ya gotta look elsewhere/deeper to see them.

These are grassroots dollars. Coming from households whose lives are every bit as disrupted by CoronaLife© as are all of ours.

And if these ordinary people are motivated to donate money in a time of uncertainty like this, you'd better believe that they are motivated to make their votes count, no matter what it takes.

If we dig a layer deeper than just the surface numbers, we find that this stat is the latest of a steady, consistent trend that has been robustly escalating since Spring, 2020.



I don't think yard signs are the barometer for 2020.
I think personal donations are the seismograph readings of 2020.
The rumble always emanates from deep underground.

Nolte: ‘Smoking Gun Email’ Shows Joe Biden Did Meet with Son Hunter’s Ukraine Partners



John Nolte

14 Oct 2020


A “smoking gun email” obtained by the New York Post shows Joe Biden lied when he said he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

According to an email dated April 17, 2015, Biden, who was then the sitting vice president, met in person with Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma.

Bursima is the sketchy Ukrainian energy company that put Hunter Biden on its board and paid him a reported $50,000 a month — a month! — even though Hunter has no known energy sector experience and doesn’t speak any of the languages spoken in that country.

The date of the email is important. The meeting between Pozharskyi and the then-vice president would have taken place eight months before Biden threatened to withhold U.S. aid from Ukraine unless the country agreed to fire a prosecutor who was looking into Burisma. The prosecutor was fired.

In 2018, Biden bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations about how he got the prosecutor fired.

“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”

And the investigation into Burisma was shut down.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the smoking gun e-mail from Pozharskyi reads.

This isn’t the first piece of evidence that proves Joe Biden lied when he claimed “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

Later last year a photograph was released of Joe Biden on the golf course with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, who sat on Burisma’s board. The photo was taken in April of 2014 when Joe Biden was vice president, and just two years before Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless Ukraine fired the prosecutor looking into a company paying his son $50,000 a month.

Pretty obvious how this works.

Burisma puts Hunter on its board. Pays him $50,000 a month, even though he has no experience in the energy sector, even though he doesn’t speak the language. That money sure paid off. Oh, boy, did it ever. Direct access to the vice president of the United States. The very man with the juice to threaten Ukraine if they don’t fire the guy looking into the company.

And according to Biden himself, that’s exactly what he did. He threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless the prosecutor looking into his own son’s company was fired.

According to the Post, the emails were obtained after someone left a water-damaged MacBook Pro laptop at a computer repair shop. Whoever left it, never paid for the repair or came back to get it.

“The computer was dropped off at a repair shop in Biden’s home state of Delaware in April 2019, according to the store’s owner,” the Post reports.

Also on the laptop is a “raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.”

The repair shop owner could not confirm the laptop owner was Hunter Biden, but there was a sticker on the laptop from the Beau Biden Foundation. Along with he video are documents and photos that sure make it look like this was Hunter’s laptop.

The FBI seized the laptop in December, but not before the repair shop owner made a copy of the hard drive. He then gave the copy to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello.

Just this week we learned that Joe Biden’s son-in-law Howard Krein is chief medical officer for a firm called StartUp Health, an investment firm looking to invest in products to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, Krein is advising the Biden campaign on the coronavirus, a stunning conflict of interest, so stunning the far-left Politico reported on it.

Right...

So a laptop gets left at an auto shop. Laptop ends up with the FBI a year ago, and then the FBI makes no noise about it. Then the employee makes a copy of the hard drive and makes sure it gets to Rudy and Bannon. Then the “emails” are actually image files rather than the actual email.

Give it a break, Fish. Get ready for President Biden.

Twitter, Facebook censor Post over Hunter Biden exposé

Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad



Both Twitter and Facebook took extraordinary censorship measures against The Post on Wednesday over its exposés about Hunter Biden’s emails — with Twitter baselessly charging that “hacked materials” were used.

The suppression effort came despite presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign merely denying that he had anything on his “official schedules” about meeting a Ukrainian energy executive in 2015 — along with zero claims that his son’s computer had been hacked.

The Post’s primary Twitter account was locked as of 2:20 p.m. Wednesday because its articles about the messages obtained from Biden’s laptop broke the social network’s rules against “distribution of hacked material,” according to an email The Post received from Twitter.

Twitter also blocked users from sharing the link to The Post article indicating that Hunter Biden introduced Joe Biden to the Ukrainian businessman, calling the link “potentially harmful.”

“In line with our Hacked Materials Policy, as well as our approach to blocking URLs, we are taking action to block any links to or images of the material in question on Twitter,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Post in a statement.

The company said it took the step because of the lack of authoritative reporting on where the materials included in The Post’s story originated.

In a lengthier statement Wednesday night, the social media company said articles in The Post exposé, “include personal and private information — like email addresses and phone numbers — which violate our rules.”

They reiterated the baseless claim that the story relied on hacked material, but added that “commentary on or discussion about hacked materials, such as articles that cover them but do not include or link to the materials themselves, aren’t a violation of this policy.”

“Our policy only covers links to or images of hacked material themselves,” the statement says.

Users who clicked the link on Twitter were shown an alert warning them that the webpage may be “unsafe” and could contain content that would break Twitter’s rules if it were shared directly on the platform.

The extraordinary move came after Facebook said it would limit the spread of The Post’s story on its own platform. The social network added that the story would be eligible for review by independent fact-checkers.

US Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) fired off a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday demanding answers about why the platform “censored” The Post’s reporting.

“The seemingly selective nature of this public intervention suggests partiality on the part of Facebook,” Hawley wrote. “And your efforts to suppress the distribution of content revealing potentially unethical activity by a candidate for president raises a number of additional questions, to which I expect responses immediately.”

Hawley later sent a similar letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, blasting the company for what he said was “an unusual intervention that is not universally applied to all content.”

The senator demanded to know how Twitter had determined that The Post’s story was violating its policy on hacked materials and why the company had taken the “unprecedented action” to lock the news org’s account.

“I ask that you immediately answer these questions and provide the necessary justifications so that your users can feel confident that you are not seeking to influence the outcome of the presidential election with your content removal decisions,” Hawley wrote.

'Dripping sarcasm': Graham clarifies comment about segregation

Graham's opponent in the S.C. Senate race had quickly seized on the remark.

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Wednesday clarified that he was being sarcastic when he referred to the “good old days of segregation” and blasted his opponent for seeking to capitalize on the comments.

During a recess in the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, Graham (R-S.C.) insisted to reporters that his comments were made in jest and accused Jaime Harrison of launching a disingenuous attack.

“It was with deep sarcasm that I suggested that some legislative body would want to yearn for the good old days of segregationism,” the senator said. “The point that I’m trying to make, there’s nobody in America in the legislative arena wanting to take us back to that dark period in American history and for my opponent to suggest that says far more about him than me.”

“I want to make sure that everybody in my state moves forward,” he told reporters, emphasizing that nearly a third of his constituents are Black. “And in terms of that statement, it blows my mind that any rational person could believe that about me.”

The Senate Judiciary chair made the comments offhand while discussing so-called Supreme Court super-precedent with Barrett.

While questioning Barrett’s refusal to classify the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade as one such super-precedent, Graham pointed out that the Supreme Court still hears litigation targeting the ruling, unlike rulings such as Brown v. Board of Education, which deemed racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.

“One of the reasons you can say with confidence that you think Brown v. the Board of Education is super-precedent is that you are not aware of any effort to go back to the good old days of segregation by a legislative body, is that correct?” Graham asked the judge, to which she responded in the affirmative.

Graham’s Democratic opponent in what has become a surprisingly tight Senate race seized on the remarks.

“@LindseyGrahamSC called segregation ‘the good old days,’” Harrison, who is Black, said in a tweet. “The good old days for who, Senator? It’s 2020, not 1920. Act like it.”

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them,” Harrison added in a subsequent tweet, followed by a fundraising plea.

Graham cast Harrison’s attack as below the belt, asserting that “this is not a game we’re playing here with the people of South Carolina.” And while he pointed out that “there are plenty of differences between my opponent and myself,” Graham called Harrison’s criticism “not worthy of the times in which we live” and “not worthy of an assault on me.”

He concluded: “I want to assure the people of South Carolina that statement was made with dripping sarcasm."

So this was the best October surprise the GOP can come up with?

Try to legitimize the conspiracy that hit trump in hit water to begin with?

The republicans know they’re done.

Lol damn what a ruthless tweet.

Then after he quits they can give him the full donny treatment and not pay as promised. Much like he’s done to contractors and such over the years.

Maybe those emails are doctored, the evidence is in the hands of a biased party that cannot be trusted to tell you the truth.

But in general, I don't see how anyone needs hard evidence that the Biden's used political quid pro quo to enrich themselves. The synchronized timing between Biden's engagement with other countries and Hunter and other DNC members personal enrichment from those same countries paints a pretty clear picture of what exactly was going on.

Biden is not alone in using foreign aid and other deals as ways to enrich their families. It appears to be common practice among most politicians, and it is a bipartisan problem. That is why we keep giving out foreign aid even though it does nothing to benefit you or me. They give billions away to other countries, send your family members to other countries to fight like mercenaries in other countries wars, and in return get 100s of millions in kickbacks.

Yep - an issue for both sides of the isle and the man in the WH. So this is essentially an absolute nothing burger of a story - so it will no doubt get front page news by Fox and other Right Wing media outlets. Bottom line - if Hunter did anything illegal, nail him and prosecute him to the full extent of the law. But this isn't about law and order, it's about deflection and smearing and scare mongering. . . all from a WH who has taken nepotism to a new stratosphere.

Of course it is, trump and his supporters are always annoyed by strong women especially minority women. It’s hard coded and programmed into your DNA now. Pffft trump and his supporters.

Yes, they flag false and misleading information. Like what you have posted.

'Unmasking' probe pushed by Barr ends with no charges
Former CIA Director John Brennan, one of the key figures in the investigation, told NBC News he was never interviewed in the “politically motivated probe.”

Oct. 14, 2020, 3:27 PM EDT
By Julia Ainsley and Ken Dilanian
WASHINGTON — A federal prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William Barr to look into Obama administration officials' "unmasking" of unnamed individuals in intelligence reports concluded his review without finding evidence of wrongdoing, according to a source with direct knowledge of the probe, and without interviewing former CIA Director John Brennan.

Brennan told NBC News he was not interviewed by the prosecutor, U.S. Attorney John Bash of the Western District of Texas, or anyone related to the investigation.

"I was never interviewed by anyone in the Department of Justice about unmasking, which was a politically motivated probe initiated by William Barr to please Donald Trump," Brennan said.

One other key figure in the unmasking controversy, who declined to be named, told NBC News there was no interview by Justice Department officials.



Bash was tapped by Barr to head the "unmasking" probe, according to statements made by Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec on Fox News in May. It began as a spin-off of Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of what became special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post was first to report that the unmasking investigation ended without producing a report or criminal charges.

Unmasking means revealing the identities of Americans whose names appeared in intelligence reports that were generated from electronic eavesdropping on foreign nationals. The names of the Americans appear in the reports because the foreigners were talking to them or about them, and those names are usually blacked out. The redactions can be lifted if doing so is necessary to help understand the intelligence.

Bash's team was tasked with examining whether Obama officials, such as Brennan, then-FBI Director James Comey or then-Vice President Joe Biden, acted inappropriately when they requested the identity of a person unnamed in intelligence reports, who turned out to be Trump's incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn.

"Looking specifically at who was unmasking whom can add a lot to our understanding about motivation and big picture events," Kupec told Fox's Sean Hannity on May 27.

It is not clear how many, if any, of the Obama administration officials were interviewed by Bash's team. A source with knowledge of how similar investigations are handled said it is possible Bash's team had enough material from other sources, such as documents, that certain interviews were not deemed necessary.

Durham has indicated he will not deliver a report prior to the Nov. 3 election.

The end of Bash's probe means it is unlikely that Trump will be able to point to politically motivated and wrongfully initiated investigations into his 2016 campaign ahead of Election Day.

Bash announced his resignation from the Justice Department last week, citing his desire to go into private practice. At the time of his resignation, Kupec said Bash's successor, Gregg Sofer, will take over any investigations Bash was overseeing, but did not comment specifically on the unmasking probe.

Kupec and Bash declined to comment on reports that the unmasking probe had concluded.

GOP Sen. Ben Sasse admitted that Trump "ignored" the coronavirus and "flirted” with white supremacy
Salon
Roger Sollenberger
,Salon•October 15, 2020


Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., ripped into President Donald Trump on a wide range of issues, telling a group of constituents in a private call earlier this year that the president "sells out our allies," "kisses dictators' butts," "mocks evangelicals" behind their backs and mistreats women.

In the call — a recording of which was released Thursday by the right-leaning Washington Examiner — Sasse also said Trump had "flirted with white supremacists" and "ignored" the coronavirus as his family "treated the presidency like a business opportunity."

While it was unclear when the call took place, Sasses's critique of Trump's pandemic response indicated it likely happened several months into this year.

Sasse — at times among the more vocal of Trump's Republican critics — is up for re-election in November, but he does not face a serious challenge in deep-red Nebraska. His name has been floated as a possible presidential candidate in 2024, and the thrust of his criticism on the call was aimed at regaining the reins of the GOP before Trump costs Republicans the Senate.


The broadside, which lasted 10 minutes, was triggered when a woman asked the senator to explain his rocky relationship with the president.

"Why do you have to criticize him so much?" she asked.

Sasse began with areas of agreement, one of which was judicial nominations. But he quickly shifted to assail Trump's politics and values as "deficient not just for a Republican but for an American."

"The way he kisses dictators' butts," Sasse said. "I mean, the way he ignores the Uighurs, our literal concentration camps in Xinjiang. Right now, he hasn't lifted a finger on behalf of the Hong-Kongers."

"The United States now regularly sells out our allies under his leadership," he added. "The way he treats women, spends like a drunken sailor. The ways I criticize President Obama for that kind of spending, I've criticized President Trump for, as well. He mocks evangelicals behind closed doors. His family has treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He's flirted with white supremacists."

Sasse moved on to the coronavirus, which he said Trump had refused to take seriously "for months," The president treated the situation like "a news cycle by news cycle PR crisis," he added.

Pointing to what he saw as overly critical media outlets, the senator cut Trump a partial break. But he added that "the reality" was that the president had "careened from curb to curb."

"First, he ignored COVID, and then he went into full economic shutdown mode. He was the one who said 10 to 14 days of shutdown would fix this, and that was always wrong," Sasse said. "And so I don't think the way he's led through COVID has been reasonable, or responsible or right."

The senator claimed that these grievances were not out of step with conservative Nebraska voters — "even the Trumpier ones."

"I think people misunderstood the meaning of 2016. Americans don't want reality TV and stupid political obsessions," Sasse said. "I've spent lots of the last year on a campaign bus, and when you listen to Nebraskans, they don't really want more rage tweeting as a new form of entertainment."

"The overwhelming reason that President Trump won in 2016 was simply because Hillary Clinton was literally the most unpopular candidate in the history of polling," he added.

An unbroken continuation of Trumpian politics, Sasse said, would invite the possibility of "a Republican bloodbath in the Senate," which was "the one political question that's most central next month" and all that stood in the way of a "Venezuela-like" future, including "30 or 40 people on the Supreme Court."

"If young people become permanent Democrats because they've just been repulsed by the obsessive nature of our politics, or if women who were willing to still vote with the Republican Party in 2016 decide that they need to turn away from this party permanently in the future, the question won't be why were you so mean to Trump," he added.

Sasse spokesman James Wegmann did not try to walk back any of the senator's comments.

"I don't know how many more times we can shout this: Even though the Beltway is obsessing exclusively about the presidential race, control of the Senate is 10 times more important," Wegmann said in a statement to the Examiner. "The fragile Senate seats that will determine whether Democrats nuke the Senate are the races Ben cares about, the races he's working on and the only races he's talking about."

Ahead of Nebraska's primary, Sasse relaxed his sporadic criticism, in the process earning one of the president's pro forma Twitter endorsements. After securing the nomination, however, the Nebraska Republican stepped back into the ring, critiquing Trump's "weak" decision to pull troops out of Germany and blasting his last-minute attempts to deliver coronavirus relief via executive order this August as "unconstitutional slop."

Trump responded to the latter attack on Twitter.

"RINO Ben Sasse, who needed my support and endorsement in order to get the Republican nomination for Senate from the GREAT State of Nebraska, has, now that he's got it (Thank you President T), gone rogue, again," the president wrote. "This foolishness plays right into the hands of the Radical Left Dems!"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-sen-ben-sasse-admitted-222430685.html

It's disgusting that the media is an arm of the democratic party, as illustrated by the shows tonight.

ON one network you can see Trump getting grilled by hostile questioners, leading questions, false narratives, and lies which he overcame;

While on the other network you can see Biden getting pampered by loyalists leading him into long winded explanations of gaffes and flip flopping positions, which he muddles anyways.

Best part of the 'Salon' article.

Trump/Biden 2020

Wow.
For the past 4 years, I have sounded just like this Republican.

Perhaps this has less to do with party, and more to do with principle.

I just have one question, was Joe Biden vice president at the time this happened?

If he was, it means Burisma was buying influence on United States Foreign policy and then Biden would have been a double agent for a foreign country.

What is it called being a double agent for a foreign power when you are the Vice President of the USA?

Is that the Sp word, or the TR, word, or both?

Neither. Because it didn't happen. Too many variables and changes for it to be legit. It's a desperate hail mary to try to sway votes.

Oh, it happened. There is no doubt about it.

Hunter got hired by a ukranian firm, burisma, because of his? Technical skills? No. Because he spoke the language? No. Because his dad was the v.p. of the U.S. and the drug addict wanted money? Yes.

Biden even went so far, protecting his son, as to threaten to hold back a billion dollars unless the prosecutor was fired. In Joe's own words: "well, son of a bitch, he got fired."

Hunter, raking in 10's of thousands of dollars per month for sitting on the board of some foreign country's business which he knows nothing about? Not fishy to you?

Hunter getting 3 or 3 1/2 million from the mayor of Moscow? Setting up a meeting with burisma and his dad? None of that reeks of ...............

Senior mistake, Jester...

Not really, If the Harris/Biden ticket wins, he WILL be vice president. He just won't know it, nor will he care.

"Hey, Jill, lookie, there's a red flower garden here, and a round room and.......where am I? There's green in that room, and lookie at that. Hey, where's the basement? Am I supposed to go there again? What's for dinner? Or breakfast. What day is it? Do I have to go in front of 4 reporters again, without my telly ...telpro....without that thingy that tells me what to say? Oh well, I can't read it anyway. Hey, what does Kamala want me to do?"

I think it's real. I just saw Guliani on TV showing the laptop, claiming unequivocally that it contains the hard drive in question and basically verifying everything that was in the news.

Now, I know that Guliani cannot be believed without question, but in this case, if he is lying, then he is committing multiple felonies and libel, and I just don't think Guliani is crazy enough to take that kind of risk

j/c

My addition to the "General Election, the NeverEnding Story" story:

We voted today.

We wore our masks, we stood in line, we stayed 6ft away from everyone else, and braved our personal health to do something that is central to the way My Ancestors always wanted their progeny to live. The first of My Fam wasn't allowed to vote. I am. I owe this to each and every one of them. I will never forsake them.

If My Father voluntarily risked his life for this country in the Pacific Theater of WWII, I can risk mine today in the face of this worldwide pandemic for the same reason: America.

An America that I get a say in.

"You want to take the shortest path, don't you?"
"Yes- oh GOD yes-"

"I'll get the keys."


Our experience took 1 hour. A slow, but steady-moving queue. The serpentine cattle chute was made of 7 ft frames with transparent plastic film reaching to below the knee. We turned in our unopened absentee ballots, waited an extra moment while the election worker voided our mail-ins, and signed us in as onsite voters. When we handed our absentee ballots over to them, they walked them to a bin, dropped them in, changed gloves, and returned to the station. We were each given a packet of hand sanitizer, a straw, and an "I voted" sticker. The hand wipekin was for afterward. The sticker- we all know. The straw: use it to touch the screen. Throw it in the bin on your way out. We literally made no direct physical contact with anyone.

It was weird, in a way: to do something so familiar, in such a familiar place, with such novel features imposing themselves for the first time...

It really made me think about who we are, and where we are.
Using straws to touch computer screens, indeed.

I had a plan a few weeks ago: mail in my stuff, do America a solid (from a distance), and get a job done. I changed my mind.

I did it because My Girl needed to be in control of Her Voice.
I did it because My Pops risked his life for us to be here in 2020. And I did it because sometimes, we need to stand up and take a risk for what is right.

Today, we took the straight path.
Our voices are already being heard.

after watching Joe B. townhall it is unbelievable that people would actually vote for this wack job, as far as fake ballot boxes what makes you think the GOP is involved?

I expect your Pops would have been proud...

instead we’ll vote for an unstable genius with a communicable disease, says the trump supporter.
