clashdaily--2020-04-28--WATCH: Journo Compares American COVID Death Toll To The Casualties Of The Vietnam War

The most disingenuous thing that is happening with coronavirus reporting is that “ journalists ” behave as though only the United States is suffering casualties from the virus .
It ’ s interesting how she represents New York Magazine , but Cuomo will never face a question like this one .
This , despite the fact that Cuomo ’ s Executive decisions were directly causal in an event chain resulting in this virus sweeping through New York nursing homes , and racking up a huge percentage of the body count this ‘ reporter ’ is laying at Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Trump ’ s reply : Trending : Hey Schiff : Will You Explain Those 1000 ’ s Of SECRET Subpoenas To The FCC Commish ?
“ If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam War , does he deserve to be re-elected ?
” Nuzzi asked .
Trump didn ’ t answer the question directly , instead choosing to highlight the steps his administration had taken to mitigate the spread of coronavirus .
“ We ’ ve lost a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at what original projections were , 2.2 million , we ’ re probably heading to 60,000 , 70,000 , ” he said .
“ It ’ s far too many .
One person is too many for this .
I think we ’ ve made a lot of really good decisions.
” —DailyCaller It sounded like a ‘ gotcha ’ question to many observers .
Here ’ s a defense of the question , in her own words : One , is there anything a President — ANY President — can do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hyper-connected world , especially if there is a very long asymptomatic latency period , and the genie is already out of the bottle when we first learn about it ?
If the answer to that question is ‘ no ’ then this is a garbage question .
Two , is there any reason to connect this to Vietnam other than to score cheap political points ?
Will any other comparison be more helpful or effective at conveying a message ?
The obvious answer is that Vietnam , and specifically the death toll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ creating a surge in negative public opinion .
Connecting this issue to that seems more than a little bit politically opportunistic , especially when the conditions between a foreign war and a domestic disease outbreak have literally nothing in common with respect to government policy .
Some 58,000 Americans were KIA in Vietnam .
In 2018 , there were 80,000 people killed from influenza .
Somehow that wasn ’ t a comparison worth drawing .
It is also worth noting that the flu deaths per year may be much higher than stated .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pneumonia etc that might be ultimately attributed to the flu has actually been tested for influenza .
Such cases would go unreported .
Nobody suggested the deaths from the flu were a potential reelection problem .
That ’ s because sickness had not yet become a political flavor of the month .
Would she be just as comfortable suggesting Trump was a superior president to Obama because of a different death statistic ?
Under Obama , yearly deaths to opioids doubled , to something like 47,000 a year .
If you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fatalities , we ’ re in the same ballpark and then some .
Trump enacted policies that — for the first time in decades — reversed that trend .
See how meaningless this game is ?
You could also do per-capita comparisons with other countries .
It ’ s easy to forget in racking up these bodycount totals that USA has grown to be the world ’ s third-most populous nation .
Leftist have been crowing that USA is a sh*thole country with the highest infected and highest body count .
Objectively that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever get accurate numbers of China ’ s infection and death rates , which some have pegged at 50x higher than officially reported .
But it is wrong another way , too .
American per-capita infection rates are not the highest in the world .
And that ’ s even not accounting for how the USA has twice as many people tested as the next-closest country… meaning they could have many undiagnosed cases lurking out there .
Three times that of many others .
All things being equal , we stack up better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a screen-capped portion from RCP ) : So far as the deaths per million stacks up , most of Europe is worse off than we are .
But as someone writing for a New-York based magazine , she missing something very obvious .
Should the Governor of New York be re-elected ?
Unlike the President , Cuomo made decisions directly endangering ( and costing ) the lives of nursing home residents .
The virus shot through those vulnerable populations like wildfire , filling body bags in its wake .
Should CUOMO be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Vietnam ?
Or is that just privilege reserved for Orange Man Bad ?

The most disingenuous thing that is happening with coronavirus reporting is that “journalists” behave as though only the United States is suffering casualties from the virus.
It’s interesting how she represents New York Magazine, but Cuomo will never face a question like this one. This, despite the fact that Cuomo’s Executive decisions were directly causal in an event chain resulting in this virus sweeping through New York nursing homes, and racking up a huge percentage of the body count this ‘reporter’ is laying at Trump’s feet.
Here was the question, and Trump’s reply:

“If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be re-elected?” Nuzzi asked. Trump didn’t answer the question directly, instead choosing to highlight the steps his administration had taken to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. “We’ve lost a lot of people. But if you look at what original projections were, 2.2 million, we’re probably heading to 60,000, 70,000,” he said. “It’s far too many. One person is too many for this. I think we’ve made a lot of really good decisions.” —DailyCaller
It sounded like a ‘gotcha’ question to many observers. Here’s a defense of the question, in her own words:
If more than 50,000 Americans died over the course of a few weeks at any time in our history, it would be fair to ask the president if he deserves to be reelected. It wasn’t a gotcha question, it wasn’t designed to provoke, and I appreciate the fact that Trump took it seriously. — Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) April 27, 2020
What’s at issue here?
Quite a few things.
One, is there anything a President — ANY President — can do to keep a virus from spreading through a hyper-connected world, especially if there is a very long asymptomatic latency period, and the genie is already out of the bottle when we first learn about it? If the answer to that question is ‘no’ then this is a garbage question.
Two, is there any reason to connect this to Vietnam other than to score cheap political points? Will any other comparison be more helpful or effective at conveying a message? The obvious answer is that Vietnam, and specifically the death toll in Vietnam, was politically radioactive, creating a surge in negative public opinion. Connecting this issue to that seems more than a little bit politically opportunistic, especially when the conditions between a foreign war and a domestic disease outbreak have literally nothing in common with respect to government policy.
Some 58,000 Americans were KIA in Vietnam. In 2018, there were 80,000 people killed from influenza. Somehow that wasn’t a comparison worth drawing. It is also worth noting that the flu deaths per year may be much higher than stated. That is because not every death due to pneumonia etc that might be ultimately attributed to the flu has actually been tested for influenza. Such cases would go unreported.
Nobody suggested the deaths from the flu were a potential reelection problem. That’s because sickness had not yet become a political flavor of the month.
Would she be just as comfortable suggesting Trump was a superior president to Obama because of a different death statistic? Under Obama, yearly deaths to opioids doubled, to something like 47,000 a year. If you’re going to compare things to Vietnam fatalities, we’re in the same ballpark and then some. Trump enacted policies that — for the first time in decades — reversed that trend.

And that’s even not accounting for how the USA has twice as many people tested as the next-closest country… meaning they could have many undiagnosed cases lurking out there.

clashdaily--2020-04-28--Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Accusation Has Even MORE Corroboration–Here’s The 411

With public pressure mounting that the accuser ’ s story be given a fair hearing , more witnesses are coming up .
And these ones have a key difference from the ones brought in to accuse Kavanaugh .
These ones have the credibility boost that comes with speaking against their own interests .
It ’ s not conclusive proof , by any means .
And he still deserves a fair hearing .
But it ’ s more credible than someone with a personal or political grudge popping up out of the woodwork to lodge a complaint .
Several corroborating witnesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s run for President — remember Tara Reade speaking about this incident back in ’ 93 .
In March , when a former aide to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused the candidate of sexually assaulting her in 1993 , two people came forward to say that the woman , Tara Reade , had told them of the incident shortly after it allegedly occurred — her brother , Collin Moulton , and a friend who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution .
Trending : Hey Schiff : Will You Explain Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The FCC Commish ?
Now two more sources have come forward to corroborate certain details about Reade ’ s claims .
One of them — a former neighbor of Reade ’ s — has told Insider for the first time , on the record , that Reade disclosed details about the alleged assault to her in the mid-1990s .
“ This happened , and I know it did because I remember talking about it , ” Lynda LaCasse , who lived next door to Reade in the mid- ’ 90s , told Insider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who worked with Reade in the office of a California state senator in the mid- ’ 90s , told Insider that she recalls Reade complaining at the time that her former boss in Washington , DC , had sexually harassed her , and that she had been fired after raising concerns .
–Source : BusinessInsider This tweet did not age well… In fact , it aged about as poorly as Hillary ’ s tweet : “ Today I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault , ” Clinton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone silence your voice .
You have the right to be heard .
You have the right to be believed and we ’ re with you.
” We only hope that Joe gets the same fair and impartial hearing on this issue that he gave to Justice Clarence Thomas .
Oh , wait .
The presumption of innocence went right out the window there , didn ’ t it ?
And to this day , Biden is backing Anita and ( by extension ) presuming the guilt of Thomas .
The media ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Sleepy Joe .
And he can barely complete a sentence , anyway , let alone ‘ Slick Willy ’ his way out of this scrape .
What ’ s this going to do to his nomination ?
That ’ s the real wildcard in this story , isn ’ t it ?

clashdaily--2020-04-28--LMAO: Hey Monty Python Fans, Life Imitates Art In A Real-Life Dead Parrot Lawsuit!

Man buys parrot and is disappointed in his purchase .
Hilarity ensues .
We have no idea whether the complainant in this story has any idea why the rest of us are snickering , but a real-life lawsuit echoed an old-school comedy sketch beat for beat .
Let ’ s start with quick recap to get any of our younger readers , unfamiliar with the reference , up to speed .
Long before there were Netflix comedy specials on TV , there was something called sketch comedy .
And among the best of the genre stand the ‘ Monty Python @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Will You Explain Those 1000 ’ s Of SECRET Subpoenas To The FCC Commish ?
You may know them from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail , Life of Brian , Meaning of Life , or Live at Hollywood Bowl .
Before any of that , however .
Was their show , Monty Python ’ s Flying Circus , which gave us favorites like the Four Yorkshiremen , Nudge Nudge , The Argument Sketch , and a fan favorite , The Dead Parrot Sketch .
The joke is , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exchange with a pet store owner when he brings back a parrot he ’ d just purchased claiming it was , in fact , dead when he bought it and was only still sitting on his perch because the shopkeeper had nailed him there .
As an additional plot twist , if you watch to the end of the sketch , it transitions into the Lumberjack song where he references , yes , British Columbia .
We told you that so we could tell you this… Here in the real world , ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real world ) a court case echoed this exact problem .
A man bought a parrot that wasn ’ t YET stone-dead , but it HAD been evidencing signs of a terminal illness… signs the shopkeeper assured the customer that it was simply evidence of the parrot — ( yes , there really was a parrot in this story ! )
‘ molting ’ .
The two overlapped this week when a B.C .
small claims court sided with a Salt Spring Island resident who sued another man for allegedly selling him a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Note : Yes , B.C .
is the same British Columbia referenced at the end of the sketch ] According to the Civil Resolution Tribunal decision , Michael Davy said he noticed the parrot — Tiberius — was missing a few tail feathers when he bought it but was told the bird was only “ molting and had clipped wings but was otherwise healthy.

FAMOUS COMEDIAN : Drops Non-PC Truth BOMB On The ‘ Grievance Industry ’ That You ’ ll LOVE MONTY PYTHON : Cast Member Claims He Is ‘ Transitioning ’ For This Very Non-PC Reason

Man buys parrot and is disappointed in his purchase. Hilarity ensues.
We have no idea whether the complainant in this story has any idea why the rest of us are snickering, but a real-life lawsuit echoed an old-school comedy sketch beat for beat.
Let’s start with quick recap to get any of our younger readers, unfamiliar with the reference, up to speed.
Long before there were Netflix comedy specials on TV, there was something called sketch comedy. And among the best of the genre stand the ‘Monty Python’ cast.
You may know them from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, or Live at Hollywood Bowl. Before any of that, however. Was their show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which gave us favorites like the Four Yorkshiremen, Nudge Nudge, The Argument Sketch, and a fan favorite, The Dead Parrot Sketch.
The joke is, an angry customer gets into a heated exchange with a pet store owner when he brings back a parrot he’d just purchased claiming it was, in fact, dead when he bought it and was only still sitting on his perch because the shopkeeper had nailed him there.
As an additional plot twist, if you watch to the end of the sketch, it transitions into the Lumberjack song where he references, yes, British Columbia.
We told you that so we could tell you this…
Here in the real world, (if Canada actually counts as ‘the real world) a court case echoed this exact problem.
A man bought a parrot that wasn’t YET stone-dead, but it HAD been evidencing signs of a terminal illness… signs the shopkeeper assured the customer that it was simply evidence of the parrot — (yes, there really was a parrot in this story!) ‘molting’.
The two overlapped this week when a B.C. small claims court sided with a Salt Spring Island resident who sued another man for allegedly selling him a defective parrot. [Editor’s Note: Yes, B.C. is the same British Columbia referenced at the end of the sketch] According to the Civil Resolution Tribunal decision, Michael Davy said he noticed the parrot — Tiberius — was missing a few tail feathers when he bought it but was told the bird was only “molting and had clipped wings but was otherwise healthy.” …Tiberius should have had a life expectancy of up to 40 years. Davy soon learned he had a fatal disease and — in fact — faced the prospect of becoming an ex-parrot in a just a fraction of that time. “I find that there was an implied warranty in the parties’ contract that Tiberius would be healthy for at least six months,” wrote tribunal member Julie Gibson. …”He noticed that Tiberius was missing some tail feathers, but thought this was due to Tiberius’ diet, which has been seed only but would ideally include lot of fruits and vegetables,” Gibson wrote. A veterinarian diagnosed Tiberius with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), “an extremely contagious and lethal virus” that is usually contracted “from a contaminated environment or directly from an infected bird.” Even with medication he had between “weeks and several years to live.” — CBC
The Eclectus parrot (regrettably, it wasn’t a Norweigan Blue, which at the time of the writing was an entirely fictional bird) was purchased for $2100. The judge ruled in favor of the complaintant, but since he had gotten some value out of the bird, compensated him at 75%.
For a fun fact discovered in the process of writing this: The Norwegian Blue found his way into the real world in another sense, too…
Adding to the absurdity was the fact that parrots – being tropical birds – don’t come from Scandinavia. Or do they? For now, in a development putting the sketch in a completely different light, it turns out that the Norwegian Blue did exist. Dr David Waterhouse, a fossil expert and Python fan, has found that parrots not only lived in Scandinavia 55million years ago, but probably evolved there before spreading into the southern hemisphere. His discovery was based on a preserved wing bone of a previously unknown species, given the scientific name Mopsitta Tanta – and now nicknamed the Norwegian Blue. — DailyMail

Uh-oh, Joe! It looks like this “credible” accusation of sexual assault is not going away anytime soon.
Tara Reade, the woman that has accused Joe Biden of sexual assault in 1993, is now demanding transparency from the former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Reade has requested that all of his Senate records be released. Biden was a Senator for the state of Delaware from 1973-2009.
Reade alleges that in 1993, then-Senator Biden pushed her against a wall, kissed her, reached under her skirt and penetrated her with his fingers without her consent.
She then says that she tried to make a complaint, but was ignored, bullied, and then shoved out of her job.
Biden’s Senate records would have a record of the complaint if one had been filed.
“Joe Biden, I want you to release all the personnel records from 1973 to 2009 and be transparent about your office practices,” Reade told the DCNF. “I would like to hold you accountable for what happened to me, to how your staff protected you and enabled you, bullied me multiple times into silence.” “You ended my career,” she told Biden. “You ended my job after you assaulted me. You claim to be the champion of women’s rights, but your public persona does not match your personal actions.” She added: “I want this brought to light and I want you to admit it in public. I want a public apology for calling me a Russian agent and having other people try to smear my character in order to cover your crimes.”
Over the last few days, a video clip was found of a woman calling Larry King Live in August 1993 asking what recourse other than the press does a staffer on the Hill have when a complaint about a “prominent Senator” has been ignored. According to Reade, the woman’s voice on the phone is that of her mother. Reade has recently had some witnesses come forward backing up her claim that she spoke to them after the incident nearly 30 years ago.
Reade has said that she made harassment complaints to three Biden staffers, none of whom reportedly took action, and that she filed a written complaint with a “Senate personnel office” in 1993, according to The New York Times. Reade told the DCNF that she does not have a copy of this complaint, though she has attempted to track it down.
Biden’s former staffers don’t recall any complaint. Marianne Baker who was Biden’s Senate office manager at the time said, “These clearly false allegations are in complete contradiction to both the inner workings of our Senate office and to the man I know and worked so closely with for almost two decades.”
Reade doesn’t have a copy of the complaint that she says she filed back in 1993 but believes that a copy would be in Biden’s senate records.
That complaint would likely be held in Biden’s Senate records, which are housed by the University of Delaware Library — Senate records that cover a wide swath of Biden’s political career but are being kept secret until Biden “retires from public life.” Reade said she believes her complaint is included in these records, she told the DCNF. Beginning in 2011 and onward, according to The Washington Post, the University of Delaware had said it would keep the papers sealed “for two years after Biden retires from public office.”

Instead of waiting for “two years after Biden retires from public office” it is now “two years after Biden retires from public life” or after December 31, 2019. Of course, the university has not defined what “public life” means, so these records could be sealed for a long, long time.

clashdaily--2020-04-28--WTF? Biden Says That We Need ‘Economic Intercourse’ Around The World (Video)

It ’ s another day in 2020 and that means it ’ s another day wondering what the hell the former Vice President is trying to say .
When Joe loses in November , perhaps the Obamas could launch a Netflix series called “ Joe Says The Darnedest Things.
” [ Dear Barry : I expect royalties for that idea .

Seriously , though… this is the guy that the Democrats think can beat President Trump ?
At what point does the Partisan Press pushing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elder abuse ?
He doesn ’ t even really seem to want the job as much as ensuring that Trump doesn ’ t get a second term .
Trending : Tara Reade ’ s Sexual Assault Accusation Has Even MORE Corroboration–Here ’ s The 411 But now that he ’ s the only one left , it ’ s becoming clear why he wasn ’ t the nominee the other two times that he ran–he is an awful candidate .
He ’ s so bad it ’ s almost making me nostalgic for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Biden ’ s speech is frequently garbled these days , but he ’ s obviously very confused , often relying on notes for basic information , and frankly , he ’ s looking more and more like Jeff Dunham ’ s Walter dummy , only less coherent… …but he ’ s also just saying stuff that ’ s even weirder than what he used to say .
These aren ’ t your normal , everyday Bidenisms .
This one , in particular , is a bit of a spicy one considering that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ credible ” accusation of sexual assault by a former Senate aide .
Other than denying the accusation , he hasn ’ t said much about Tara Reade .
Using the phrase “ economic intercourse ” surely brings to mind the allegation of sexual assault back in 1993 that the Media ( D ) is desperately trying to bury .
But beyond the reference to coitus economicus ( H/T @ TennantRob ) , Biden now seems to be flip-flopping on the travel ban that he just flip-flopped on .
Back in January , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s restrictions on travel from China into the U.S. was a prime example of his “ hysterical xenophobia ” and was completely against it .
Later , when the coronavirus spread and devastated New York in particular , Biden backtracked and said that he commended Trump on the travel ban .

Now , he seems to be swinging right on back to travel bans are bad and his interminable refrain , “ that ’ s not who we are.

If in fact , for example , we solve the problem in the United States of America and you don ’ t solve it in other parts of the world , do you know what ’ s going to happen ?
We ’ re going to have–you ’ re going to have travel bans , you ’ re going to not be able to do–have economic intercourse around the world .
There ’ s a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alone–when America is first , it ’ s America alone .

If he meant trade , why didn ’ t he just say trade ?
Besides , has he not seen the reports that China has been exporting defective medical equipment around the world ?

The phrase raised the eyebrows of conservatives on Twitter who openly mocked Joe for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve locked down for too long and we ’ re all going to have to pay the price .
The price would have been even higher if anyone a Democrat had been in the White House because they were all quick to call Trump a racist for defying the WHO with his travel ban that has been lauded by medical experts as the correct course of action to slow the spread of the coronavirus .

Now, he seems to be swinging right on back to travel bans are bad and his interminable refrain, “that’s not who we are.”
In an interview with CBS Miami on Monday, Biden said:
I would get much more engaged in the world, we can’t step back. If in fact, for example, we solve the problem in the United States of America and you don’t solve it in other parts of the world, do you know what’s going to happen? We’re going to have–you’re going to have travel bans, you’re going to not be able to do–have economic intercourse around the world. There’s a lot.

“America First” sounds like a damned fine policy these days.

Joe Biden tells @CBSMiami that the United States needs to be more engaged in the world.

clashdaily--2020-04-28--Stacey Abrams Is The PERFECT Running Mate For Joe Biden–Just Ask Her!

The failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate is not-so-quietly lobbying for the job .
Stacey Abrams graduated with honors from Spelman College in 1995 and went on with her education with a Masters Degree in Public Affairs from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas , and a law degree from Yale .
Abrams spent several years as a tax attorney , wrote a bestselling book on financial advice aimed at minorities , and then was elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 2007 .
She remained there for 10 years .
In 2017 , her ambition led @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kemp , who was Georgia ’ s Secretary of State at the time .
And we all know what happened .
She lost and she just couldn ’ t deal and overnight became a Darling of the Media ( D ) .
( Going door-to-door campaigning with Oprah along with the backing of former President Obama surely helped with that . )
We ’ ve been subjected to her ever since .
And she appears to want a more prominent position .
Trending : Tara Reade ’ s Sexual Assault Accusation Has Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Politico , Stacey Abrams has been “ privately lobbying ” to be Biden ’ s running mate .
Privately ?
You ’ ve got to be kidding me !
She ’ s about as subtle as an air horn .
In an interview with Elle magazine , Abrams was touting her strong points as a possible Vice President .
It ’ s rather off-putting .
Especially with someone who lost their race for a high office and is now looking at an even higher one .
Is it just me , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ Rourke ’ s “ I was born to run for President ” article in Vanity Fair ?
Abrams has been making a grab for the limelight lately with interviews anywhere she can manage it .
She somehow clinched one with The Atlantic where she again said that Biden ’ s best bet was to pick her .
She is his ticket to beat Donald J. Trump .
First , there is the politics behind picking a running mate–sure the Democrats want it to all just be about gender and race , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Normally , a running mate was chosen for competency as well as their ability to bring in voters from that are hesitant , and in this case , it might not be the ethnic vote , but the disgruntled Bernie Bros that feel like the system is rigged .
Abrams , for all her leftisms , has worked on bipartisan bills in her brief time as a state rep , and in this divisive era , that could actually hurt her chances as Biden ’ s potential Veep .
Second , Abrams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes ( 1.4 % of the roughly 4 million votes cast ) and refused to concede .
( Wasn ’ t this what the Democrats were concerned that Trump would do in 2016 after Hillary won her inevitable presidential victory ? )
Sure , it was close , but it wasn ’ t that close .
She blamed her loss on “ voter suppression ” presuming that the majority of the allegedly suppressed votes would have gone to her .
So , she filed a federal lawsuit demanding large-scale reforms to Georgia ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigated the election results and found that “ no evidence emerged of systematic malfeasance – or of enough tainted votes to force a runoff election between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams.
” Abrams then claimed that an ethics investigation into her campaign was politically motived because of her lawsuit .
She ’ s very big on the identity politics popular on the left .
During her campaign , she said that “ undocumented ” voters were part of the 2018 “ Blue Wave ” .
She has said that it could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t choose a woman of color , which , rather conveniently , she just so happens to be .
Abrams made it clear recently on The View that not only is it important for Joe to pick a woman of color for his running mate , but it should really be a black woman .
( Is that a dig at Kamala Harris who is half Southeast Asian ? )
And if all that isn ’ t enough , she ’ s vying against three former presidential candidates–Liz Warren who has a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who is not completely insane ; and Kamala Harris who ( for some reason ) is well-liked by many Democrats .
Not only that , Michigan Governor Gretchen “ What Is The Bill Of Rights ” Whitmer is also in the running .
They are all stronger candidates than she is–even Whitmer who has clamped down on Michiganders ’ freedoms with her smiley-faced authoritarianism during the COVID lockdown .
But the most difficult thing that Abrams will have to navigate is the thing that any Democrat woman who joins Biden ’ s team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s “ credible ” accusation of sexual assault in the # MeToo era… her own words .
Abrams was firmly in the Believe All Women camp when Christine Blasey Ford accused Supreme Court nominee , Brett Kavanaugh , of pushing her down on a bed and trying to grope her at a house party when they were teens .
Back in September 2018 at the height of the Kavanaugh confirmation circus , she told Marie Claire , the women ’ s magazine , “ It is incumbent upon our leaders to treat sexual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consent as a public health issue , and to ensure that survivors who wish to come forward can do so safely , and be believed.
” ( Emphasis added ) Strangely , Abrams hasn ’ t said the same about Tara Reade despite her story being much more serious , and frankly , more credible than Professor Blasey Ford ’ s account .
Blasey Ford had no witnesses or corroborating evidence–on the contrary the witnesses she named all denied that there was a party at all , let alone that the incident occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnesses come forward corroborating her story , there is now a weird video clip from a 1993 Larry King Live episode with a phone call from Reade ’ s mother , and we know that Reade was a Senate aid when the incident occurred .
It ’ ll be interesting to see how any woman would handle this mess of their own creation .
Perhaps they ’ ll suddenly discover due process like Alyssa Milano did .
But we shouldn ’ t let them cop-out like that .
I think that we should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and call them hypocrites when they don ’ t .
When in a battle , it ’ s unwise to unilaterally disarm , and that ’ s what it would be if we let any of them–even the ridiculous loser Stacey Abrams–not hold Joe Biden to the same standard that they held Brett Kavanaugh to .
They wanted those rules , then they can ’ t change them .

The failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate is not-so-quietly lobbying for the job.
Stacey Abrams graduated with honors from Spelman College in 1995 and went on with her education with a Masters Degree in Public Affairs from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, and a law degree from Yale. Abrams spent several years as a tax attorney, wrote a bestselling book on financial advice aimed at minorities, and then was elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 2007. She remained there for 10 years. In 2017, her ambition led her to run for governor against Brian Kemp, who was Georgia’s Secretary of State at the time.
And we all know what happened. She lost and she just couldn’t deal and overnight became a Darling of the Media(D). (Going door-to-door campaigning with Oprah along with the backing of former President Obama surely helped with that.)
We’ve been subjected to her ever since. And she appears to want a more prominent position.
According to Politico, Stacey Abrams has been “privately lobbying” to be Biden’s running mate.
Stacey Abrams, a former Georgia lawmaker and unsuccessful candidate for governor, has been privately calling Democratic powerbrokers, asking them to tell Biden campaign officials that she should be vice president, according to multiple labor leaders familiar with the discussions…
Privately? You’ve got to be kidding me!
She’s about as subtle as an air horn.
In an interview with Elle magazine, Abrams was touting her strong points as a possible Vice President.
Experienced politicians know there is a right way to answer questions about pursuing higher office. Be demure. Redirect. Convey vague interest while insisting never to have given it serious consideration. But Stacey Abrams does not give the expected answer when I ask if she would accept an offer from former vice president Joe Biden to serve as his 2020 running mate. “Yes. I would be honored,” Abrams says. “I would be an excellent running mate. I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating typically ignored communities. I have a strong history of executive and management experience in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. I’ve spent 25 years in independent study of foreign policy. I am ready to help advance an agenda of restoring America’s place in the world. If I am selected, I am prepared and excited to serve.” Source: Elle
It’s rather off-putting. Especially with someone who lost their race for a high office and is now looking at an even higher one. Is it just me, or does this remind you of Beto O’Rourke’s “I was born to run for President” article in Vanity Fair?
Abrams has been making a grab for the limelight lately with interviews anywhere she can manage it. She somehow clinched one with The Atlantic where she again said that Biden’s best bet was to pick her. She is his ticket to beat Donald J. Trump.
Stacey Abrams has a theory about how Joe Biden can beat Donald Trump: Pick her as his running mate. “We have to win the election. And I would point out that I ran the most successful campaign to engage the communities we need to build the broadest coalition necessary in 2020, because what we are going to see on the ground is that this is going to be a campaign unlike anything that’s been run before,” Abrams told me. Source: The Atlantic
Except… she lost.
Overt campaigning for the vice presidency has traditionally been frowned upon, weakening those who appear overly eager or insufficiently deferential to the nominee. And with the exception of Abrams — who has said “I would be an excellent running mate” — most top-shelf candidates this year have been guarded about their ambitions, even as they position themselves for a potential selection. Source: Politico
Abrams has some real problems.
First, there is the politics behind picking a running mate–sure the Democrats want it to all just be about gender and race, but there are also other things to consider. Normally, a running mate was chosen for competency as well as their ability to bring in voters from that are hesitant, and in this case, it might not be the ethnic vote, but the disgruntled Bernie Bros that feel like the system is rigged. Abrams, for all her leftisms, has worked on bipartisan bills in her brief time as a state rep, and in this divisive era, that could actually hurt her chances as Biden’s potential Veep.
Second, Abrams lost the gubernatorial race by over 54,723 votes (1.4% of the roughly 4 million votes cast) and refused to concede. (Wasn’t this what the Democrats were concerned that Trump would do in 2016 after Hillary won her inevitable presidential victory?)
Sure, it was close, but it wasn’t that close. She blamed her loss on “voter suppression” presuming that the majority of the allegedly suppressed votes would have gone to her. So, she filed a federal lawsuit demanding large-scale reforms to Georgia’s electoral system.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigated the election results and found that “no evidence emerged of systematic malfeasance – or of enough tainted votes to force a runoff election between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams.”
Abrams then claimed that an ethics investigation into her campaign was politically motived because of her lawsuit.
She’s very big on the identity politics popular on the left. During her campaign, she said that “undocumented” voters were part of the 2018 “Blue Wave”. She has said that it could be a real problem if Biden doesn’t choose a woman of color, which, rather conveniently, she just so happens to be.
Abrams made it clear recently on The View that not only is it important for Joe to pick a woman of color for his running mate, but it should really be a black woman. (Is that a dig at Kamala Harris who is half Southeast Asian?)
Stacey Abrams tells @TheView she thinks that Vice President Biden is “going to make a smart choice” in picking a running mate, but adds that she does have “concerns” about Biden “not picking a woman of color.” https://t.co/53N8arecl2 pic.twitter.com/KNpe5yNBx3 — ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) April 22, 2020
Of all the contenders, Abrams has been the most assertive on the issue of race, telling ABC’s “The View” that it would be a “concern” if Biden did not choose a woman of color. “As a young black woman, growing up in Mississippi, I learned that if you don’t raise your hand, people won’t see you, and they won’t give you attention,” she recently told CNN. But navigating the Biden campaign’s internal politics may be tricky for Abrams given Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’ close relationships with Biden brass. Lance Bottoms has long been an Abrams rival, declining to endorse her in the 2018 gubernatorial primary and speaking positively about her opponent, Stacey Evans. Source: Politico
And if all that isn’t enough, she’s vying against three former presidential candidates–Liz Warren who has a juggernaut small-dollar fundraising machine; Amy Klobuchar who is not completely insane; and Kamala Harris who (for some reason) is well-liked by many Democrats. Not only that, Michigan Governor Gretchen “What Is The Bill Of Rights” Whitmer is also in the running. They are all stronger candidates than she is–even Whitmer who has clamped down on Michiganders’ freedoms with her smiley-faced authoritarianism during the COVID lockdown.
But the most difficult thing that Abrams will have to navigate is the thing that any Democrat woman who joins Biden’s team in the wake of Tara Reade’s “credible” accusation of sexual assault in the #MeToo era… her own words.
Abrams was firmly in the Believe All Women camp when Christine Blasey Ford accused Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, of pushing her down on a bed and trying to grope her at a house party when they were teens. Back in September 2018 at the height of the Kavanaugh confirmation circus, she told Marie Claire, the women’s magazine, “It is incumbent upon our leaders to treat sexual assault prevention and building a culture of consent as a public health issue, and to ensure that survivors who wish to come forward can do so safely, and be believed.” (Emphasis added)
Strangely, Abrams hasn’t said the same about Tara Reade despite her story being much more serious, and frankly, more credible than Professor Blasey Ford’s account. Blasey Ford had no witnesses or corroborating evidence–on the contrary the witnesses she named all denied that there was a party at all, let alone that the incident occurred. Meanwhile, Reade has had several witnesses come forward corroborating her story, there is now a weird video clip from a 1993 Larry King Live episode with a phone call from Reade’s mother, and we know that Reade was a Senate aid when the incident occurred.
It’ll be interesting to see how any woman would handle this mess of their own creation. Perhaps they’ll suddenly discover due process like Alyssa Milano did. But we shouldn’t let them cop-out like that.
I think that we should hold them to their own standard, and call them hypocrites when they don’t.
When in a battle, it’s unwise to unilaterally disarm, and that’s what it would be if we let any of them–even the ridiculous loser Stacey Abrams–not hold Joe Biden to the same standard that they held Brett Kavanaugh to.
They wanted those rules, then they can’t change them.
