Biden suffers problem with teeth during Dem debate — nearly fall out of mouth?
[THEAMERICANMIRROR] Did Vice President Biden’s teeth almost fall out of his mouth during the Democratic debate tonight?

As moderator David Muir asked a question of Biden, the candidate could be seen moving his mouth around as though he was chewing gum.

At the conclusion of Muir’s question, Biden seemed to fumble with his teeth, trying to keep them in his face.
What a load of malarkey. He was trying to keep his lips from falling off.

General Flynn Goes On Offense Against the Deep State
h/t Instapundit
[PowerLine] Several months ago, General Michael Flynn replaced his original defense team with Sidney Powell, a Texas lawyer who is a veteran of the Department of Justice and author of Licensed To Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. Powell is a self-promoter, but she also appears to be a very good lawyer.

She certainly is aggressive. Powell has launched an all-out attack against Flynn’s prosecutors, whom she regards as dishonest and corrupt. Given what we have learned about the involvement of the FBI and DOJ in the Russia collusion hoax, there is no reason to think she is wrong.

On Wednesday, Powell’s motion to compel further production of documents from the prosecution was unsealed. Margot Cleveland comments at The Federalist:

Yesterday’s filing expanded exponentially on the areas of evidence Powell seeks and lays bare Powell’s bigger plan moving forward: to expose the breadth and depth of SpyGate and how flaying Flynn lay at the heart of the soft coup attempt.

In her Motion to Compel, Powell catalogued 40 categories of evidence the government has refused to turn over. She seeks a court order requiring federal prosecutors to provide the withheld evidence under Brady and its progeny. Brady and its offshoots require prosecutors to disclose material exculpatory and impeachment evidence to the defense team.

#2  Jeebus, Trump stepped into a den of lying, crooked, corrupted snakes when he decided to run for office.

Will the American people ever see justice done with regards to Spygate? These people deserve to be keelhauled and then again.
Posted by: JohnQC || 09/14/2019 8:57 Comments || Top||

#3  We as a country have one chance to correct the deep state’s excesses and transgressions on citizens using the rule of law. The left does not realize how thin the veneer of civilization really is.

#4  It seems to me that he war against corruption is like mowing the lawn — something that must be done regularly to keep the worst of it in check and encourage a culture less welcoming of such behaviour.

And while everyone is paying attention to the show, senate Republicans have approved 152 judges proposed by President Trump, which will make prosecuting corruption in the government bureaucracy much easier.

#5  #3 Yes, they seem bound and determined to show Normie that "proper channels" are a bad joke.

They are incentivizing the use of far harsher remedies.

And when those remedies are applied our betters will mewl "But who could have foreseen this?"



#4 Prosecuting corruption won't happen if Trump fails to get control of the DOJ.

And the same people getting those judges through are only too happy to gum up the works on political appointees.

Which makes me wonder about some of those judges.

Francis Beto O’Rourke Goes Off on Gun Control at Debate: ‘Hell Yes, We’re Going to Take Your AR-15, Your AK-47!’
[MEDIAITE] 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke;
...Kennedyeque businessman, musician, skateboard artiste, and politician who represented Texas' 16th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. Beto is a Latino nickname for people whose names end in "erto," like "Roberto" or "Alberto." He is seeking the Dem nomination for President in 2020 because he has nice hair and lots of teeth. He was born into a local political family in El Paso, Texas and is a graduate of a prep school and Columbia University, which is not in Texas. In 2005, he was elected to the El Paso City Council. He was elected to Congress in 2012 after defeating eight-term incumbent Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary. He declined to seek re-election in 2018, instead running for the Senate against Republican Ted Cruz, running a campaign that drew national attention because of his skateboarding skills. A few months after he lost, he announced his campaign for President...
broadly endorsed taking certain guns away from Americans, specifically naming AR-15s and AK-47s as weapons that shouldn’t be allowed.

Beto was asked if he supported confiscating guns, which he said he did, qualifying “if it’s a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield.”

“If the high-impact, high-velocity round, when it hits your body, shreds everything inside of your body because it was designed to do that so you would bleed to death on a battlefield and not be able to get up and kill one of our soldiers,” he said.

O’Rourke then shared a harrowing story about the shooting in Odessa.

“I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15 and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa, there weren’t enough ambulances to get to them in time,” she said.

“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47!” O’Rourke said. “We’re not going to allow it to be used against a fellow American anymore.”

Before moderators moved on, O’Rourke also stressed his plan was supported by Americans he met in red states.

“Folks who said, I would give that up, cut it to pieces, I don’t need this weapon to hunt, to defend myself. It is a weapon of war, so, let’s do the right thing, but let’s bring everyone in America into the conversation,” he said.

#2  Government taking away a constitutional right, by force. I guess he decided if the Jackbboot fits, he will wear it proudly.

Boarding School Bobby O'Rourke - rabble-rouser and fear monger - and quite the useful idiot for Freedom minded folks.

He put his foot fully into the bucket. Nice of him to give ammunition for political ads to the pro-2nd-Amendment crowd against the entire Dem party.

#5  These are the policy proposals we should expect from fascist Democrats polling at 1%. What was even worse than this was the clapping seal lemmings in the audience going wild when he said this - I hope every one of them gets mugged soon.

#6  The amazing power of Trump is getting the enemy to drop their masks and show exactly who they are. It also has placed the population in a position that all their rationalizations and avoidance with linguistic games no longer can stop them from facing the issue of who they sell their soul to rather than take a stand. They mean what they say.

#7  Keep it up. I need to get one of your "Hell yes" T-shirts so I can wear it with a sign that says "Remember this when you vote"
