Agreed. :chuckle:
Joe reached into his experiences as a kid in Scranton, PA, for the tool to deal with a blustering would-be bully.

It's okay Joe, you lied to many millions of Americans.
Jerry, would you like to make a guess as to why the Trump campaign stopped touting those stories?
Yep.
Well, that and Trump is now desperately trying to avoid giving a cheek swab for his DNA in a rape case.
New York state trial judge denied President Donald Trump‘s bid Thursday to delay a defamation lawsuit by magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, who accused the president of rape in the 1990s. In her ruling, Justice Verna Saunders green-lighted the court to collect Trump’s DNA sample and continue Carroll’s public trial during the 2020 campaign season.
Last November, Carroll sued Trump for defamation after he called her a liar and claimed that he had never met her. The plaintiff had published a memoir last summer, in which she alleged that Trump raped her at Bergdorf Goodman, an upscale department store, in a dressing room during the mid-1990s in Manhattan.
Trump has denied the allegation, calling it “totally false” and saying he “never met this person.”
Carroll is attempting to collect Trump’s DNA sample to discover whether they match the unidentified male genetic material found on a dress that Carroll claims that she was wearing during the alleged attack. The plaintiff says that she kept and did not wear the clothing again until a photo shoot last year.
Saunders’ decision permits Carroll to seek Trump’s DNA as potential evidence and continue pursuing her suit despite Trump’s election campaign.
He really wishes the whole sexual assault thing would go away. Which is odd, since Trump could destroy her case by just submitting a sample of DNA obtained by taking a swab from the inside of his mouth.
Assuming he's innocent, of course. It's puzzling why his lawyers are so desperately trying to save him from submitting a sample. Assuming he's innocent.
Yep.

Trump’s ex-national security adviser says president is ‘aiding and abetting’ Putin
H.R. McMaster’s warning represents perhaps his harshest public criticism of the president since the retired general was ousted from the White House in 2018.
Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Thursday that President Donald Trump is “aiding and abetting” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to sow doubt about the American electoral system.
The stern warning from McMaster, who Trump handpicked to lead the White House National Security Council in 2017, came in an interview on MSNBC, after he was asked whether he agreed that the president posed the greatest threat to U.S. election integrity.
“I agree that he is aiding and abetting Putin’s efforts by not being direct about this, right? By not just calling out Putin for what he’s doing,” McMaster said.
“You know, Putin gets away with, I mean, literally murder or attempted murder … because people don’t call him out on it,” he added. “And so they are able to continue with this kind of fire hose of falsehood, to sow these conspiracy theories. And we just can’t be our own worst enemies.”

Russian operation masqueraded as right-wing news site to target U.S. voters
LONDON (Reuters) - The Russian group accused of meddling in the 2016 U.S. election has posed as an independent news outlet to target right-wing social media users ahead of this year’s vote, two people familiar with an FBI probe into the activity told Reuters.
The latest operation centred around a pseudo media organisation called the Newsroom for American and European Based Citizens (NAEBC), which was run by people associated with the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency, the sources said.
U.S. prosecutors say the agency played a key role in Russian efforts to sway the 2016 election in favour of President Donald Trump, and Facebook and Twitter exposed a fake left-wing media outlet in September which they said was run by people connected to the organisation.
NAEBC and its activity, which have not been previously reported, now show that Russian attempts to influence U.S. voters ahead of the 2020 election have targeted both sides of the political divide.
The website predominantly focused on U.S. politics and current events, republishing articles from conservative media and paying real Americans to write about politically-sensitive issues. A network of accounts posing as editors and journalists then promoted the articles on social media sites favoured by right-wing users.
Topics covered by NAEBC ranged from attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement and praise for Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouse.
Russia has repeatedly denied allegations of election interference. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he did not know anything about NAEBC or the fake left-wing news site, Peace Data. “The Russian state does not engage in such activity,” he said.
The FBI declined to comment.
When asked by email about NAEBC’s connections to Russia, a person identifying themselves as Nora Berka, an assistant editor, said: “I have no idea what does NAEBC have to do with it.” The person declined to speak by phone or video call.
After Reuters contacted NAEBC for comment, social media accounts in the name of Nora Berka and other NAEBC staff removed all references to the website from their profiles and deleted some of their previous posts.
NAEBC presents itself as a “free and independent” media outlet based in Hungary with a mission to promote conservative and right-wing voices. Its main page carries a warning to its readers: “Don’t get yourself fooled.”
The website’s own name, however, is a pun on a Russian expletive meaning to deceive or “screw over.”
Ben Nimmo, head of investigations at social media analytics firm Graphika, analysed the website after being alerted to the activity by Reuters. He said NAEBC and the left-wing Peace Data showed Russian influence operations had evolved since 2016.
“But the overall strategy looks unchanged: energise Trump supporters, depress support for Biden, and target both sides with divisive and polarising messages,” he said.
NAEBC has been active since late June and built a small network of personas on Twitter and LinkedIn - some of which used computer-generated photographs of non-existent people - to solicit articles from followers and freelance journalists, according to the Graphika analysis here.
Nimmo said the accounts failed to attract any significant following with many posts only receiving a handful of shares, but got more traction on Gab and Parler - two social media platforms favoured by right-wing users for their lax approach to content moderation.
Paul Rockwell, head of trust and safety at LinkedIn, said his company had previously suspended three NAEBC accounts. “This is part of our regular work to actively seek out signs of state-sponsored activity on the platform and quickly take action against bad actors,” he said.
Facebook said it had stopped one attempt to create an NAEBC account and blocked the website from being shared on its platforms.
Twitter declined to comment. Before being contacted by Reuters, the company had already suspended NAEBC’s main account and an account in the name of Nora Berka, as well as blocking the NAEBC website address as a “potentially harmful” link.
A spokeswoman for Parler said the company was not aware of NAEBC and had not discussed the activity with law enforcement.
Gab CEO Andrew Torba said NAEBC did not break his site’s guidelines. “It looks like a blog sharing news stories and opinions. It’s irrelevant to us who runs it or why,” he said.
A senior U.S. security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the press, said Russian operatives were increasingly recruiting “unwitting Americans” to write articles and post online.
Reuters identified three writers located in the United States who contributed articles to NAEBC. Two of them were established authors who had written for a number of right-wing outlets, while the third was an amateur journalist.
One of the writers, who asked not to be named publicly, said they had been working for NAEBC for the last month with no knowledge of its Russian backing.
Emails seen by Reuters show the website operated much like its left-wing counterpart, Peace Data. Writers were paid from $50 to $75 per an article, and money was sent promptly via online transfer.
NAEBC staff also gave detailed instructions for the articles they commissioned and how they should be framed.
In late August, a person emailing as Nora Berka asked one writer for a story about calls to defund U.S. police departments in the wake of nationwide protests over a string of high-profile killings of black men by white officers.
NAEBC asked the author to question “how American citizens are supposed to protect themselves without police,” and specifically mention increased gun purchases as well as incidents of violence and shootings.
“Here we should mention that a lot of democrats support de-funding the police,” the person writing as Berka said. “And in case if they win 2020, it can happen.”

Biden Was A Disaster :dunce:
He wouldnt acknowledge (Antifa) is a reality in domestic violence and chaos.
He couldn't name one policing agency that endorsed his presidency.
He wouldn't state his Supreme Court list.
He didn't answer the question on the filibuster and stacking the Supreme Court.
Biden ran :dog: from the direct question on his son Hunter receiving $3.5 million from Moscow Mayor's wife, trying to interject his other son BO and military service.
The moderate democrats and independents look past Trump's sarcasm in debate, Joe Biden ran and hid in the basement when the direct questions were asked
America isn't ignorant when it comes to the issues, Biden's non-response destroyed his chances with those sitting on the fence.
The only part of his debate, Joe is washed up!

Ameicans think he won. They're right.
He reminded Trump that Trump's own people says antifa isn't even an organization.
He told Trump it was a lie, and challenged Trump to provide evidence. Trump ran :dog: and wouldn't even reply.
The moderate conservatives and independents were offended by Trump's refusal to denounce right wing terrorists: Bunker Boy hid in the basement when the direct questions were asked about him denouncing right wing terrorst groups.
America isn't ignorant when it comes to the issues, Trump's non-response destroyed his chances with those sitting on the fence. Even republicans in Congress called Trump's cowardly failure to denounce white supremacists "unacceptable." By a near-unanimous vote, the House rejected right-wing terrorism and white supremacy. The resolution was blocked in the Senate by the republican leadership, but would have been near-unanimous there also.
ok doser
lifeguard at the cement pond
The debate gave the country a good look at Biden's incompetence, which won't matter to retards like barbie.
You fell a little short in responding to the claims made, I'll post the three you missed, Big Smiles!
1.)He couldn't name one policing agency that endorsed his presidency.
2.)He wouldn't state his Supreme Court list.
3.) He didn't answer the question on the filibuster and stacking the Supreme Court.
Actually, there were some things Trump didn't lie about.
Police unions mostly support republicans for the same reason burglars support reducing the number of police.
And you're sure that he has one, already?
The filibuster question is out of his hands. That's entirely up to the Senate; the president has no say. Thought you knew. There is no law specifying the number of justices. Just as there is no law saying that a president can't nominate a justice during his last year of office. Republicans, during the Obama administration were legally able to do what tradition doesn't allow. Now the lid is off. You better hope the democrats are more ethical than republicans. I wouldn't bet on it.
Something to keep in mind...
You answered, I'm shocked!
Biden didn't state policing agencies that endorse him, because none did, he's a lawless thug that remains basically silent on to violence in the streets, and defunding the police.
Biden didn't give a Supreme Court list before the election, as President Trump has done, because he's hiding the truth of his lawless agenda.
Biden didn't answer stacking the court and the fillibuster because he plans on doing both items, if the democrats win the house, Senate, and presidency, that isn't going to happen.
As you see, just ask a question.
Law enforcement agencies don't endorse candidates. Police unions do,though.
Joe Biden? C'mon. Who do you think will believe that? The same Joe Biden you guys were hyperventilating over for supporting bills increasing penalties for street crime? Get your story straight; when you argue contradictory things, it makes you look foolish.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he condemns violence "across the board," including from Antifa, when he was asked about it during a local TV interview Monday.
"I've condemned it across the board," Biden told Pennsylvania's WGAL News 8 in an interview Monday, referring to violence during protests. "The president still hasn't condemned the far-right folks coming out and protesting and using violence."
BIDEN CONDEMNS RIOTING, BLASTS TRUMP'S RESPONSE IN FIERY POST-CONVENTION SPEECH
"Do you condemn Antifa?" reporter Barbara Barr asked Biden.
"Yes, I do, violence no matter who it is," he replied.

Biden says he is “totally opposed” to defunding the police
(CBS News) - Joe Biden pushed back against President Trump’s accusation that he supports defunding the police, saying that he supports providing more assistance for police officers and reintroducing “community policing.”

Show us that Trump gave a Supreme court list before he was elected president.
You're not listening. Biden can't do anything about the fillibuster rules in the Senate if he's president. This might be hard for you to believe, but the Senate sets those rules. Would you like me to show you?
And while Congress can increase the number of justices on the Court, Biden couldn't, if he were president. That's not one of his powers, either.
Unions represent police, that are part of agencies
Joe Biden sat silent while cities burned, as the democratic party cheers, he made a couple statements recently because the he dropped in the polls and you know it, Biden supports the thuggery
Nobody asked if Biden could make the change on the fillibuster or stacking the court, he was asked if he supported it and didn't answer, your diversion didn't work.
Trump gave a Supreme Court list before 2016 election, and has maintained one for the entire time, common knowledge, do your research.
Biden is ready for a Convalescent hospital, he was lost on the stage when President Trump put the pressure on, Biden's not fit to be a janitor in the white house, and that's the truth.
No. Police unions are not part of law enforcement agencies. No law enforcement agencies support political candidates. Well, in North Korea and Cuba, they do.
As you learned, he denounces violence and rioting.
He's been rising in the polls. And you know it. Just this week, he moved into the lead in Iowa and Georgia. Do you think we didn't notice?
Well, let's see what he said...
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he condemns violence "across the board," including from Antifa, when he was asked about it during a local TV interview Monday.
"I've condemned it across the board," Biden told Pennsylvania's WGAL News 8 in an interview Monday, referring to violence during protests. "The president still hasn't condemned the far-right folks coming out and protesting and using violence."

"Yes, I do, violence no matter who it is," he replied.
https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/antifa
By way of contrast...
Because he can't. Congress can. Every time Trump tried a distraction, Biden turned to the camera and talked to Americans about the actual question.
But you can't show us one? I think I know why.
Well, let's take a look...
Not what they told you, is it?
Trump can still get around, sort of, if the surface is level...
To be fair, Trump is a lot older than Biden, and it shows in his lack of fitness and in his confusion during the debate.
Americans disagree with you. Most of them say Biden won, mostly because Trump threw one tantrum after another, and would not comply with rules to which he had agreed. Would you like me to show you that, again?
