Democrats are watching the speeding train head to the washed out bridge
By Andrea Widburg


It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at the Democrats' current dilemma. The party of racial diversity has only white candidates. The party of youth has only old candidates. The party's top candidate is an angry, spit-flecked, wild-maned old man who has been a Marxist his entire life, has never held a real job in the private sector, is now hypocritically reveling in the life of a millionaire and can't stop himself from praising grotesque dictators.

And here's the biggest laugh of all: the Democrat party's only hope is a confused old man whose corruption is oozing into the open only because the Democrats wagered everything on impeaching President Trump.

It's very likely that, if the Democrats hadn't been bound and determined to impeach Trump, Gropey Biden's dirty dealings in Ukraine on behalf of his cocaine-snorting, alcohol-chugging, widow-shtupping, stripper-impregnating, deadbeat-dad son would have stayed in the shadows. However, by choosing Trump's phone call to Ukraine's President Zelensky as the impeachment bridge to die on, the Democrats practically hired a blimp to circle the Super Bowl stadium while trailing a sign saying, "Our preferred candidate for president is corrupt."

The latest assault on Biden's weak claim that he did nothing wrong comes out of Ukraine. According to John Solomon:

A Ukrainian court has ordered an investigation into whether Joe Biden violated any laws when he forced the March 2016 firing of the country's chief prosecutor.

The ruling could revive scrutiny of Hunter Biden's lucrative relationship with an energy firm in that corruption-plagued country just as the former vice president's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination is surging after a lackluster start.

Former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who has long alleged he was fired because he would not stop investigating the Burisma Holdings firm that employed Hunter Biden, secured the ruling last month. Ukrainian officials confirmed the State Bureau of Investigation has since complied and initiated the probe.

The ruling does not mention Biden by name, but court filings by Shokin's lawyers that led to the decision show that the former prosecutor had alleged "the commission of a criminal offense against him by Joseph Biden, a citizen of the United States of America, in Ukraine and abroad: interference in the activities of a law enforcement officer."

Joe Biden has been in politics since 1972. Behind the good-guy persona is a self-centered, vicious, corrupt man. It would take a longer blog post than this to detail all the things that stand against him, but here's a short list:

And note, please, that the above list has nothing to do with Biden's political stands, which, while hewing left, are all over the board, drifting with the political winds. His only consistent position has been to hate the Second Amendment. He's just another leftist who prefers to govern over disarmed subjects.

It will be interesting, to say the least, to see what comes out of Ukraine as the campaign progresses, especially if the Democrats succeed in wresting a primary victory out of Bernie the Red's clutches and bestowing it on Biden.
 
If Sanders is Robbed of the Nomination, It's Time for the VotePact Strategy
by Sam Husseini

Right now, the entire Democratic Party apparatus and allied corporate media are working to ensure that Sen. Bernie Sanders does not get the Democratic nomination even if he gets a plurality of delegates and votes in the primaries.

The Democratic Party establishment seems to be gearing up for a brokered convention which will anoint an establishment candidate with the nomination.

This risks fracturing the party and effectively paving the way for a second term for Donald Trump.

Obviously progressive forces will try to stop these eventualities, but a plan is needed if they arise.

There are two obvious responses:

Burn it Down: The impulsive thing to do would be to want to burn down the Democratic Party. It's possible that the establishment of the Democratic Party would be OK with this -- they seem to fear a President Sanders more than the fear another term of Trump. So, people would stay home or vote for a third party or independent candidate who openly states that they have virtually no chance of winning.

Cave In: Others might insist that no matter how badly the Democratic Party establishment treats its voters, they need to get in line come November and vote for whoever the nominee is. This is euphemistically referred to as "hold your nose and voting." People have done this for decades and it's typically resulted in the corporate wing of the Democratic Party becoming more and more powerful.

The first of these will be disastrous because it will help Trump.

The second will be disastrous because it effectively surrenders control of the Democratic Party to the corporate wing, probably for the foreseeable future.

But there is a third choice: The VotePact strategy.

With the VotePact strategy, in the general election, disenchanted Democratics team up with a disenchanted Republicans. They pair up: spouses and friends and coworkers and neighbors and debating partners and ex-facebook friends. Instead of the two of them voting for candidates they don't want, they pair up and vote for the third party or independent candidate of their choice.

If there's an anti establishment ticket that appeals to both left and right -- think something like Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul -- it could bring together a transpartisan united alliance from across the political spectrum against the establishment candidates. (Yes, Trump is and always has been an establishment candidate, his rhetoric to the contrary.)

Thus a shrewd thing for Sanders supporters to do in the short term is to reach out to anti establishment Republicans: To try to get them to vote for Sanders if he does get the nomination -- and to get them to pair up and vote independent with them if he doesn't.

The great thing about this is that putting it on the table now lessens the chances that it will have to happen. That is, the Democratic establishment, by trying to stop Sanders, is effectively saying to Sanders supporters: You have to vote for the Democratic nominee no matter who it is. Otherwise, you're helping Trump.

The truth of course is that the Democratic establishment is effectively helping Trump by undermining Sanders in this way.

But having VotePact on the table now makes it clear to all concerned: Sanders supporters do have another path. They don't have to attack the party or capitulate to its establishment. They can make a VotePact with a Republican and vote in a manner that is both principled and super strategic.
 
How crazy would it be if Biden won the presidency but the republicans won the house and impeached Joe for the exact same issue that Trump was impeached for?

Good point, I mentioned this a long time ago. But it gets even better....you KNOW based on the low bar Dims set for impeachment you could then impeach the VP that moved up to Prez, and then the speaker of the House becomes Prez. We know the Dims love them some peach mint.
