A protester at town hall in Milford, N.H., yells at Biden: “How much did you make from Ukraine?”
Biden responds: “I’ve released 20 years of my tax returns. Your guy hasn’t released one. What’s he hiding?”
Huge applause from the crowd.

The sad thing is that we really have no idea if that was a Trump supporter or a Bernie supporter. https://t.co/mlTr6tkbsh

In New Hampshire? I’d give 50/50 odds it was a capital-L Libertarian, willing to ratfvck the primary in favor of whichever candidate offered them personally the most entertainment.
An 11yo boy in NH asked @JoeBiden a Q about the NRA…and then 20 minutes later a woman interrupts Joe and said she is the boy's teacher. She said she wanted to thank Biden for running as a role model and showing her student "how a man in politics should be behaving."

Boy I'd like see Biden wriggle out of this one.
[Biden gains 1 point in the polling average.]Ah, nevertheless.

On my crankier days I’m convinced the normies throwing a Biden-sized brick through the window is what the country needs to tamp down on the crazy.

He's not actually open to it. This is some kind of bullshit, the media saying this shit. Gawd I hate them.

Would I have sex with Donald Trump, if it would force him out of the presidency? Sure, I’d sacrifice three minutes of my life for that worthy goal. Two problems, though: Trump wouldn’t be interested, and if he were, the bargain wouldn’t actually force him out of office. It’s fanfic for politics junkies.
has anybody told the left that black people do? https://t.co/LLsVilW1a5

Yes but Biden's fantasy is popular with voters (it's what the last four people elected president basically ran on) https://t.co/4hbqLii218

It's worked out so well for Trump that he was impeached for it. https://t.co/0s3ApX2gAz

Hey, it’s New Year’s Eve. A song even older than Joe Biden, sung by Cécile McLorin Salvant:
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
I’m still waiting for somebody (not necessarily the Dem candidates) to bring up Sanders’ rape fantasy stories he wrote back in the 70s. You know Trump would if Sanders was the nominee
David ??Merry Christmas?? Koch
Oh brother. There’s something really wrong with him. Why would he vote against Amber Alerts.
David ??Merry Christmas?? Koch
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
Nobody wants to punch down, but it would be nice if someone brought up his vote for Dump’s racist wall, his vote to keep GITMO open, and his support for a Neo-Con/PNAC coup d’etat to kill Saddam Hussein and install Ahmed Chalabi (link).

@prostratedragon
For no good reason, a couple of the greatest hits from the year Biden was born. #1 – #2

@David ??Merry Christmas?? Koch: A Bernie stan I know was complaining loudly about how Obama failed to close Guantanamo prison. Most of us who know him just ignore him because he’s one of those “Dems and repubs are two sides of one evil coin” idiots so there is not point to have a debate with him. But a friend who doesn’t know him said to him that Sanders voted against funding Guantanamo’s closure so how did he expect Obama to close it? He said that Sanders was against Obama’s plan because it was not bold enough. There are people like this guy and I really hope there aren’t that many like him.

@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
They do NOTHING about Bernie! Elizabeth Warren has to answer 1000 questions about “how she’s going to pay for it.” Him, nothing!

If the race were Biden 1 and Warren 2 I would feel much better about things.

I wish, when he was asked if he’d consider choosing a Republican for VP, that Joe had said “No, look what a hash they’ve made out of things the past three years, why on Earth would you want me to even consider encouraging that?” or some similar type of answer. I see that it was a voter, and not a reporter, who asked the question. I thought it sounded like the kind of question a reporter would ask a Democrat but never, ever, ever ask of a Republican in reverse.

Joe Biden is like that old pair of loafers that are scuffed up and the soles are wearing thin, but they’re so damn comfortable, and they feel so good on the feet, and you don’t have to bend over to tie them, but only have to slip them on, and you hate shoe shopping, so you say, “Hey, I’ll just slap some new polish on and see if I can’t get a few more months of use out of them.”
Amirite?

media headlines tomorrow:
ANNE LAURIE: I REALLY WANT TO DO DONALD TRUMP
Chris Johnson
Figures that it’s a ratfuck. It’s a clever one, because Joe’s whole schtick is ‘look how it’s like the good old days again when Republicans were honorable and not just the Russian mob’.
But Republicans are the fucking Russian mob (mostly led by ’em, in a very few cases literally them. HI MITCH)
And it does piss me off that Ol Uncle Joe, hit with this obviously bullshit question, couldn’t have just laughed it off, or asked ‘are you serious right now’ or something like that.
For FUCK’S sake. This is why the Russians want Biden to be the Dem nominee. They are all ready to take him down from all possible sides, and he’s not sharp enough to do anything about it. I want fucking Harris back. As much as I am still a Warren stan, I want Harris back.

@Anya:
exactly! bernie wanted to close guantanamo twice!

@zhena gogolia:
I am not a Warren fan at all, and it’s because she tied herself to Bernie early on, when she teamed up with Bernie to criticize Obama’s post presidency speech fees and helped him catapult RU propaganda about the DNC *rigging* the primary against Bernie, which is active measures.
Why on earth has she continued to chain herself to that Trumpian fraud? He’s an electoral engine block to say nothing about being untrustworthy. He abandoned his own son – why would she think he’s an ally of hers? Why would she ally with a backstabbing cult leader? If she won’t take down Bernie, she’ll NEVER take down Trump.
the Conster
@Chris Johnson:
The Russians want the left to split the middle, hence Yang, Gabbard and Sanders all in the race. Trump is like a feral animal who is able to detect where danger to him is coming from, and he got impeached for trying to mitigate it. The threat to him is not from Warren or Sanders, neither of whom stands a chance of winning Pennsylvania – the golden EC ticket. The candidate that can win PA wins.

Excited for talking head Ed Kilgore to lay out his “real strategy” for getting shit done in D.C.
