... just two days after being appointed as female staffer hints in series of tweets that he has been involved in a 'John Edwards' style sex scandal [snip] Deputy communications director Jessica Ditto also reportedly joined the duo [Miller and Trump strategist and senior staffer AJ Delgado] at the Sapphire Las Vegas, it was reported at the time by the New York Post.
The strip club boasts of 70,000 square feet of topless entertainment and serves 'the finest variety of cocktails, wines, champagne and cigars,' according to its website.
On the night of the debate, Miller, Delgado and Ditto were all very active on social media. Serious lapse in judgement. Mr. Miller got a "One of the three B's" "twofer."
Delgado shared a close-up selfie with the caption: 'We're very happy right now! Go Trump! What a debate!!'
Miller also shared a picture from the venue ahead of the debate's start with the caption: 'Let's do this #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.' Provided true, whoever 'twas the spiller of the beans has done Mr. Trump (and the USA) a "Yuuuuuge" favor. Otoh, had this happened to the HRC admin., it would have probably resulted in a "Tragic Accident™"
[LA Times] Over a career in elected public office lasting more than 46 years, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. has seen campaigns from the rudimentary, family-run effort that first launched him unexpectedly to the U.S. Senate as a 29-year-old to the sophisticated, data-driven juggernaut that helped elect him and Barack Obama twice to the nation’s highest offices.
But rarely has he trusted anything as much as his own gut instinct, attuned to the middle- and working-class sensibilities of his former neighbors in towns like Scranton, Pa., and Claymont, Del. And so as he sat in his office one day in October and watched footage of a Donald Trump rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., not far from his childhood home, Biden sensed trouble.
“Son of a gun. We may lose this election,” Biden said, recalling his reaction during an interview in his West Wing office. “They’re all the people I grew up with. They’re their kids. And they’re not racist. They’re not sexist. But we didn’t talk to them.”
There’s “a bit of elitism that’s crept in” to party thinking,
Just a bit? How tactful.
he worries, setting up what he sees as the false impression that progressive values are inconsistent with working-class values.
For a given value of false that means true, that is a true statement.
“What are the arguments we’re hearing? ‘Well, we’ve got to be more progressive.’ I’m not saying we should be less progressive,” he said, adding that he would “stack my progressive credentials against anyone” in the party.
“We should be proud of where the hell we are, and not yield an inch. But,” he added, “in the meantime, you can’t eat equality. You know?”
In the campaign, “you didn’t hear a word about that husband and wife working, making 100,000 bucks a year,
..isn't that a lot of money? It sounds like a lot of money, but maybe I'm wrong -- I'm not very good at financial things...
two kids, struggling and scared to death. They used to be our constituency.”
The party’s defeat leaves the Democrats without a clear leader. But Biden says he’s not going anywhere, which he means literally and figuratively. Like Obama, he is planning to live in Washington, at least part time, after moving out of the vice president’s residence on Jan. 20.
The presence of both the former president and the former vice president in the capital will be historically unusual. But Biden’s decision to remain nearby is, like many he’s made in his political career, largely driven by family. His wife, for one, will continue teaching at a community college in Virginia.
Still, the decision to live even part time in the nation’s capital will give him proximity to the unfolding Trump administration and the decision-makers and media figures interacting with it. And it will allow him to continue stoking the political fires — he seems to revel in the notion that he might be fit enough to challenge Trump in four years, when he would be 77 and Trump 74, although he has not publicly committed to any plans.
I can just imagine what that will look like.
Others close to him are less reticent. “Biden’s going to be the country’s conscience," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee who forged a close relationship with him.
And who would know more about having a conscience than Debbie Downer?
Biden will be freer to speak out about Trump administration actions than Obama, Wasserman Schultz said. "And he’s certainly not shy."

The Democrats have walked away from the middle class. The blue bloods, unions and others have been ignored. The party has been hijacked. This has been going on for several years now. They catered to every fringe cook group they could find and made a few up along the way. The only way they can return to power is as Biden has just said. The problem is he has the perspective of an older generation. He will not connect with the programed left educated people. They must age and fall to the wayside of life crying and complaining about their many failures. In the end they will appear as an old person dressed in old thoughts and clothes of a false time of ideas and understanding. Viewed in the future as we do of flappers from a time long gone by.

making 100,000 bucks a year, two kids, struggling and scared to death. They used to be our constituency.”
Yep, they're so elitist that they "think" that this is middle class normal and they don't really care that people with two kids are struggling and scared.
Wonder what folks at the median, $56,000, are feeling? Wonder if that socialist elite give a crap?

In the interview, Biden pointed to questions that came even from members of Clinton’s inner circle, revealed in emails made public by WikiLeaks, about whether the Democratic front-runner had figured out why she was running.
Selling.. um... there's a word... accessories... accoutrements? It'll come to me...

Biden is, after all, the "Common Man™". Who hasn't had a grandfather that would "would come up [from the mines] after 12 hours and play football" (Neil Kinnock), then lied that Denis Healey had given him the speech? Lied about being the "first person in his family to go to college? Stole entire lines from JFK and RFK speeches, Or "Borked" a supremely qualified SCOTUS nominee? Or get an "F" for plagiarizing five pages from a published article in a term paper that he submitted?
"I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect," Biden sniped at a voter. "I went to law school on a full academic scholarship." That claim was false, as was another claim, made in the same rant, that he graduated in the top half of his law-school class. Biden wrongly stated, too, that he had earned three undergraduate degrees, when in fact he had earned one—a double major in history and political science. Another round of press inquiries followed, and Biden finally withdrew from the race on Sept. 23, 1988.
He's a buffoon, a pompous windowlicking idiot, and actually right in this ONE incidence

Hard to court the middle class when you have been actively attempting to destroy them with the non-human gender thing, calling them racist against blacks, hispanics, muslims, and best of all, taxing what little money they have left given that real wages have been stagnant basically since 1970 at this point.
Didn't want the optics to show the truth
Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison cancelled his scheduled appearance the Muslim American Society's annual conference, where he was slated to deliver the keynote address.
Ellison's name and picture, which were previously featured prominently on the convention website's homepage, have been removed completely. He was also removed from the full list of convention speakers.
Ellison was scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the convention's "appreciation dinner" in Chicago on Tuesday.
An updated version of the conference program shows that Ellison's speaking slot has been removed. He was originally scheduled to deliver a 20-minute speech entitled "Our Voice will be Heard."
The dinner was being billed as an opportunity for conference-goers to "Meet the Celebrity!" and get a "one-on-one encounter" with speakers at the event.
Ellison did not respond to numerous requests for comment on the decision to opt out of the event. A representative at the convention said that it could not comment on the change in schedule.
Ellison has a long-standing relationship with the Muslim American Society, which was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood to be the extremist group's voice in the United States.
Ellison has a long-standing relationship with the Muslim American Society, which was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood to be the extremist group's voice in the United States. Not to mention his long membership Calypso Louie's Nation of Islam - just read Powerline's backgrounders on him In 2008, the society paid for Ellison to travel to Saudi Arabia for a 16-day religious pilgrimage to Mecca. Ellison was also the keynote speaker for the Minnesota chapter's annual convention in both 2007 and 2008.
Ellison faced criticism for speaking at this year's convention not only due to the radical nature of the Muslim American Society but also because of some of the people he was set to share the stage with.
Among the featured speakers at the convention is Mohammad Ratib Al-Nabulsi, who is scheduled to speak at five different sessions over the course of the three-day conference and has garnered attention for his statements on both homosexuality and Jews.
"Homosexuality leads to the destruction of the homosexual," Nabulsi said. "That is why, brothers, homosexuality carries the death penalty." He went on to complain that America gives "privileges of a wife to a homosexual partner," noting that it was "frightening."
In a brief Nabulsi authored on "martyrdom operations in Palestine" he declared that "all the Jewish people are combatants."
"The wicked Jews are a collection of defects and imperfections, and a hotbed of vices and evils," he wrote. "They are the worst enemies of God, against Islam and its people."
He complained that the "enemy" uses the term "suicide" bombers to deceive Muslims.
"Beware, the enemy calls the operations suicide, they say: suicide operation to deceive Muslims, that this is suicide, but we should call them "workplace violence" martyrdom operations," Nabulsi wrote. "A young man in the prime of his years sacrifices his life and shakes an entity."
David Weinberg, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that no congressmen should be associated with an "extremist" like Nabulsi, especially if they aspire to take a leadership role.

And yet Ellison is a major contender and if chosen would even more deeply infect an American political landscape with the poison of his beliefs at every level, all the while using deceit and ignorance to claim otherwise. Reminds me of a mini-me for another same party info idual with many similar attributes.

If he is chosen, will the liberal Jews continue to support the demoncratic party?
Some will peel away, including some major funders, Darth Vader. They'll turn their charitable dollars elsewhere if the Democrats choose the Muslim Brotherhood candidate.
[Free Beacon] The Obama administration is overhauling a national registry program intended to track visitors who arrive in the U.S. from countries with active terrorist groups less than a month before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
The registry, called the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, was implemented after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, but has been dormant since 2011, the New York Times reported Thursday.
Trump has suggested he would reinstate the program. When asked by a reporter Thursday morning whether he still planned on creating a registry for Muslims and imposing a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, the president-elect replied, "You know my plans."
Kellyanne Conway, a senior Trump aide, clarified hours later that Trump was referring to plans to bar people from countries with a history of homegrown terrorism, the Washington Post reported.
The Department of Homeland Security submitted a rule change on Thursday in the first step toward dismantling the program. The DHS said the registry was "redundant, ineffective, and provided no increase in security." DHS spokesman Neema Hakim added the program is "not only obsolete" and "outdated," but pulls resources from other security areas that are more effective.
Democratic lawmakers have also called for an end to the registry. A joint letter signed by more than 50 Democratic members of the House earlier this month charged, "No known terrorism convictions have resulted from the program."
Civil liberties activists have condemned the program as discriminatory. .....but bolt their doors at night.
Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and a member of Trump’s transition team, helped create the program when he served in the Justice Department under former President George W. Bush.
Kobach was photographed last month holding a document that included a proposal for the Trump administration to "Bar the Entry of Potential Terrorists," which would revive the registry system, the Times reported.
