He might be a political hack, but he does call it like he sees it. Hard to know what to believe but I hope he is right.

Republicans are going to smear the Ukraine whistleblower. Don't buy it.

Quote:
More than two and a half years into the Trump presidency, Republicans have a tried and true strategy when it comes to dealing with whistleblowers or any other witnesses who threaten to expose the president and his administration's corrupt or unethical behavior. Following the president's lead, they do everything in their power to discredit the individual and destroy his or her reputation, questioning the subject's honesty and integrity, portraying her as a politically-motivated opportunist, and digging up whatever kind of dirt they can — true or not — to sully the person's name. After tarring and feathering the witness or whistleblower in question, they move on to the press and the journalists who reported the story, fulminating against the "fake news" media and the dishonest reporters who would do anything to bring down the president. Finally, if things really look bad, they point to a vast "deep state" conspiracy to undermine and ruin President Trump, who has spent the past three years fighting off baseless smears and treacherous attacks from people within his own government.
Pretty much the Limblow/Carlson/InsHannity playbook. I think we already know which of our residents here will buy into the con; hook, line and sinker.

Well, for starters, from all reports, the whistle blower is not in the first circle.

Notes: Biden says he never talk to his son about his overseas business.

Biden also has a 1.5 billion dollar China problem.

Why is Obama so aloof, so cold to a Biden candidacy?

cuts away from President Trump's news conference:

"We hate to do this, but the president isn't telling the truth ... what Trump appears to be trying to do is to turn his own impeachment into a big deflection."
Excellent! Call Donny out on his lies, in real time.

More conspiracy bullshit? Where do you come up with this nonsense? Oh, Carlson, lol.

This is probably well above your 5th grade reading level, but it explains the Biden/Obama relationship quite well.

From the comment section of the article:
If Biden is the nominee, Obama will vote for Trump.
