“I want to clarify something I said yesterday. In my 40 years in public life, I have always complied with a lawful order and in my eight years as VP, my office — unlike Donald Trump and Mike Pence — cooperated with legitimate congressional oversight requests,” Biden said on Twitter. “But I am just not going to pretend that there is any legal basis for Republican subpoenas for my testimony in the impeachment trial,” Biden added.
One has to wonder what made Biden think he could get away with the statement in the first place. Yeah, there are some people stupid enough to believe that it didn't show an immense amount of hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty (a few comment here). But I also wonder out loud if Biden (like many Democrats) doesn't understand the ridiculousness of the allegations against the President, if he understands them at all.
Perhaps he had to be sat down and explained why Trump is being impeached, and how what he said was at odds with such a thing. After all the Democrats are LITERALLY attempting to rewrite the constitution and scope of Congressional power by demanding that Congress is "always" correct and that it is illegal to challenge a congressional subpoena in court.
Their argument is certainly a slippery slope that would absolutely require Joe Biden to come testify about his involvement in the prosecutor being fired, would absolutely require Hunter Biden to come testify, as well as the whistleblower, Schiff, and others. The impeachment from the House has drawn the line in the sand. When Congress subpoenas, you must show (and not fight in court) or you are breaking the law.
A ridiculous expansion of Congressional powers? Absolutely. But that is the very definition of the second article of impeachment.

Biden Waffles on Possible Senate Subpoena
December 29, 2019 at 2:30 am EST
Joe Biden appeared to walk back a statement he made that he would refuse to testify at the impeachment trial of President Trump — even if he was subpoenaed, CBS News reports.
Said Biden: “I would honor whatever the Congress in fact legitimately asked me to do.”
You see, that's the difference between Trump and Biden.
Biden can admit a mistake.
Trump, never.
With Trump, everything he does is always "perfect."
oh look cut n paste Jane.
NYPD INVESTIGATING 6TH ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACK

Have Anti-Semitic incidents increased during Trump's administrtion?
Absolutely.
Why?
Oh look. Kansas Dim can only make a stupid statement.
LOL LOL LOL

Every day he shots his pants.
I wonder how Mrs. "Mike" Obama is .
Sure James...
Since there are Jews within the Trump family and Trump himself has attended Jewish ceremonies...
Makes sense that people who hate Trump might take it out on Jews because of his support for the Jewish community.
People were used to Obama and his Anti-Isreal pro-Palestinian views and policies. They are upset with going back to treating Israel as an ally.
Jane, tell why you can't in your own words define your teams made up term "Income Inequality"?
Joe Blew it when he told hard working Union Blue Collar workers he is going to kill thier jobs as he prays at the alter of AOC Green Dirty Deal.
This is what a soulless foundationless punk says.
"Said Biden: “I would honor whatever the Congress in fact legitimately asked me to do.”
So IF this Dwarf becomes President he will do as told by Congress like a well trained puppy.
Ch, why have hate crimes OF ALL SORTS
increased during Trump's days in office?
That's easy James, the left's hate is now out in the open and mainstream by the Democrats.
Do you really think in an earlier time they would have tolerated the presents of Rashi Talmar, Ilhan Omar, and Alexander Ocasio Cortez?
Of courses not, they would have been drummed out of the party for their hate and intolerance.
But because Orange Man Bad, they tolerate any and all evil.
Hell, just yesterday the Washington Post apologized to the racist governor of Virginia proving that no evil is too great not to overlooked as long as there's a D after the name.
Joe Blew it when he told hard working Union Blue Collar workers he is going to kill thier jobs as he prays at the alter of AOC Green Dirty Deal.
It will be known throughout history as the Hillary fuck up.
The moment the Democrat party lost their natural base and got lost in the wilderness to be never heard from again.
Twice explained to lowest of IQ Effeminate James.
Twice he failed to understand.
I will note for the record that nearly all the anti-Semitic violence was perpetrated by leftest, non-White individuals in Democrat controlled cities north of the Masion-Dixon line.
Have Anti-Semitic incidents increased during Trump's administrtion?
Absolutely.
Why?
Because DeBlasio is a piece of shit and won’t prosecute. You stupid old man
As she stood before a judge in Brooklyn Criminal Court with the hood to a navy blue jacket over her head, Harris was in familiar territory.
She still has an open harassment and assault case on the Brooklyn docket from November 2018.
And last month, she was sentenced to no jail time for felony criminal mischief in Manhattan, court records show — a case for which she had repeatedly failed to make court appearances.
Brooklyn prosecutors didn’t even bother requesting bail Saturday, as they could have, given that the reform law, approved in April, technically doesn’t take effect until Jan. 1.
“The de Blasio administration has made it clear that we all need to get into compliance with bail reform now,” said a law enforcement source.

Whatever actual increase in hate crimes would naturally come from an increase in hate... which has all come from the left and anti-Trump sentiment.
which has all come from the left and anti-Trump sentiment.

Most of the domestic terrorism violence since Trump was elected in. But it is ok because there are many good people on both sides.
Scott A**hole has been infected with Trumpism stage four brain cancer!!
Congressman John Lewis of Georgia announced Sunday that he has stage IV pancreatic cancer, vowing he will stay in office and fight the disease with the tenacity which he fought racial discrimination and other inequalities since the civil rights era.
Lewis, the youngest and last survivor of the Big Six civil rights activists in a group once led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., said in a statement that cancer was discovered this month during a routine medical visit. He said subsequent tests confirmed the diagnosis of stage IV pancreatic cancer.
Read his statement here:
"I have been in some kind of fight- for freedom, equality, basic human rights - for nearly my entire life. I have never faced a fight quite like the one I have now.
"This month in a routine medical visit, and subsequent tests, doctors discovered Stage IV pancreatic cancer. This diagnosis has been reconfirmed.
"While I am clear-eyed about the prognosis, doctors have told me that recent medical advances have made this type of cancer treatable in many cases, that treatment options are no longer as debilitating as they once were, and that I have a fighting chance.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Tucker Carlson: “Ask yourself if five years ago, if anyone who wore an Obama for president shirt got punched in the face, or attacked by mobs or had the hat pulled off his head and had a milkshake poured on him" how would the Justice Department have responded?
Great question.

"Kansas Dim thinks it is fine that billionaire Warren Buffet's secretary has to pay a higher percentage of her income in taxes than he with all his millions pays."
Answer, No I don't.
Do you know Why Buffet pays a lower Rate then his Secretary?
Jane, tell why you can't in your own words define your teams made up term "Income Inequality"?
Lowest IQ Jane can only cut n paste.

Sorry to hear that. I don't wish pancreatic cancer on anybody.
El Paso Texas murders targeted beaners and Olinsky lovers.
As I recalled the shooter wasn't that picky. He shot at anything that moved.
Most of the domestic terrorism violence since Trump was elected in
Perpetrated by crazed leftest, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton supporters who couldn't accept the results of the election.
Clinton created incalculable divisiveness when she refuse to concede gracefully and took her marble home.
Most of the hate and violence can be traced to her refusal to do so.
For the terminally ignorant trump slurpers.....this is a good read especially the first paragraph.....goat fucker.....BTW....cramps.....the hate is being driven by the likes of you and your intolerance for any view point but your own....especially your hatred of gays, women and science!!!!!

The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT have no voice of thier own.
Jane, brought a topic to this blog, the Socialist Democrats made up "Income Inequality".
Yet can't in his own words define it.
He gets easily confused.
Tiresome liberal claptrap.
Wow cramps.....that sure is an awesome retort.....BWAAAAAAAAA!!! Funny how you don't deny your hatred of women and science.....!!!! And the goat fucker laughing like the asshole he is!!!!!

Sex toy an electronics show award finalist after controversy
(AP) — A sex toy that can be controlled through a mobile app is a finalist for the Last Gadget Standing award at CES 2020, an electronics show in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the device created by California-based startup Lioness is up for the honor a year following a controversy with a similar gadget.
This year marks the first time sex technology products can qualify for awards or be showcased as part of the health and wellness category during the tech-focused trade show, which runs Jan. 7 to 10 in Las Vegas
Nearly a year ago, the group that organizes the annual CES gadget show reinstated a prestigious award and apologized to makers of a robotic “personal massager” for women.
An independent panel of judges had selected Lora DiCarlo’s Ose vibrator last fall for a CES 2019 Innovation Honoree Award in the robotics and drone category.

Cheap and Creepy Joe.
Joe Biden and his wife gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade, his tax records show.
Supply side economics
The stated goal of the tax benefit — tucked into the Republicans’ 2017 tax-cut legislation — was to coax investors to pump cash into poor neighborhoods, known as opportunity zones, leading to new housing, businesses and jobs.
The initiative allows people to sell stocks or other investments and delay capital gains taxes for years — as long as they plow the proceeds into projects in federally certified opportunity zones. Any profits from those projects can avoid federal taxes altogether.
“Opportunity zones, hottest thing going, providing massive new incentives for investment and job creation in distressed communities,” Mr. Trump declared at a recent rally in Cincinnati.
Instead, billions of untaxed investment profits are beginning to pour into high-end apartment buildings and hotels, storage facilities that employ only a handful of workers, and student housing in bustling college towns, among other projects.

examples are legion alky, where at trump rallies trump supporters were assaulted, spat upon, beat up and otherwise fucked with just because they support our president.
and then there's the champion of this cavalcade of stars - james hodgkinson. a bernie bro and ralph maddow super fan who opened fire on republicans with an AR, almost killing steve scalise.
so fucking knock it off and stop pretending it didn't happen. ALL the leftist violence, including antifa and disrupt J20, is a direct result of the sheer unadulterated hatred for donald trump and from you fucking assholes refusing to accept the result of the election.
look in the fucking mirror, genius. your TDS cost you your marriage, your home, your physical and mental health....
...it cost you everything.
You boys are kidding , right.
Look back at the $1.4 Trllion give away by the Obama/Biden give away thru the failed "Stimuless".
27 of those companies failed.
Roger, you know nothing .
"The initiative allows people to sell stocks or other investments and delay capital gains taxes for years — as long as they plow the proceeds into projects in federally certified opportunity zones. Any profits from those projects can avoid federal taxes altogether."
Who proposed and Championed the "Opportunity Zones"?
Well, a Black Businessman and Senator Timothy Eugene Scott.
The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT should in 2020 make a new years resolution to never attempt to talk about economics/finances.
Every time they do they fail spectacularly .
Show me where the violence took place in response to your concerns
See Scalesi, Steve Congressman who was shot and critically wounded during a congressional baseball practice.
2020 make a new years resolution to never attempt to talk about economics/finances.

BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! And you ignore the trump farm bailout that provided billions on failed crops and tariffs.....without that money....the farm segment would have had an awful year!!!!!!!

The brown areas in this Dec. 9 satellite image depict unharvested corn rising above the snow covered fields in Fargo, North Dakota. Farmers hope the corn will dry enough before spring planting season.
In 2019, the farm belt felt about as hospitable as the asteroid belt. Record rainfall turned fields to sludge and made it nigh-on impossible to plant corn and soybeans until long after the typical window had passed. President Trump’s long-running trade war cut off farmers’ access to China’s enormous market. Across the farm sector, commodity prices remained in the doldrums.
[After a biblical spring, this is the week that could break the Corn Belt]
Yet the Agriculture Department now estimates 2019 was farmers’ most profitable in five years. What happened?
Three words: Market Facilitation Program. Or, as it’s more commonly known, the farm bailout.
Without government assistance, U.S. farm income would have fallen about $5 billion from its already-low 2018 level. So the $14.5 billion in bailout funding announced so far represents a substantial reversal of fortune. About three-quarters of the funding already has been distributed.

“If you look at the prices, the weather and the trade imbalances, you’d expect the farm sector to be in a terrible spot,” Montana State University economist Eric Belasco said. "It’s not.”
That’s the sector overall, however — the total income earned by all 2 million farms and ranches in the United States. The top-line figure obscures profound differences.
[In Trump Country, a season of need on family farms]
Most farmers benefited from the bailout, Belasco said, but because bailout money is distributed based on acreage and not farmer’s need, about half of the money (47 percent) went to the largest 10 percent of operations. . The numbers come from an analysis by Belasco and his colleague, Vincent Smith. (Both men are also affiliated with the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute.)
The disparity runs too deep to be solved by a government bailout, Belasco said. According to 2018 data, more than 70 percent of farm households had a high level of financial risk in 2018. But of those that qualify as very large (median income $756,000), only 25 percent fit into that same category.
