The little bitches come out, don't they, when they realize it's time for them to somehow prove that they should be on stage.
So you get fat ass Amy Klobuchar attacking Elizabeth Warren every time she speaks. Amy sees each moment as an attempt to destroy Elizabeth.
Why?
Because War Hawk Joe Biden is sinking and the press wants a centrist.
They don't want a Bernie Sanders, they don't want an Elizabeth Warren, they want someone who will protect big business, corporations.
Let's all stop lying to ourselves or pretending it's a conspiracy theory.
Any organism fights for its own survival. So, yes, our corrupt system is fighting those it sees as a threat.
And when they hear Bernie proclaim, as he did in tonight's debate, "We need a political revolution"? They fight back as any system would
Bernie and Elizabeth are talking about giving Americans what they need -- Medicare For All, for example. And the corrupt system is based upon preying on the needy -- not delivering what they need but using them to rake in big bucks. People keep saying that the US has a 'for profit' health system. Yes. It did. In the 1940s. Today, it's far worse than a 'for profit' system, today it's a 'grab everything' system, pick their pockets, shake them down system.
Bernie and Elizabeth are advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy. These higher taxes? We're talking about the sort of taxes that were in place when John F. Kennedy was President of the United States.
The notion that these higher taxes are just and normal has been erased and that's been done by the press, by the corporate press. Most Americans don't grasp how much taxes have gone down for the wealthy.
Hell, most Americans don't grasp that the IRS has been targeting -- for years now -- low earners for audits because they know they can't fight back. You are more likely to be audited today if you are a low wage earner.
But let's pretend this is a democracy, let's pretend all are treated fairly.
They're not. As Elizabeth noted tonight, "The wealthy and the well connected have captured our democracy."
That is what has enraged Bernie and Elizabeth and that is why so many Americans are pulling for them. They realize that those two are fighting for a better system and for a better America.
At one point, Amy Klobuchar wanted to insist that she could have different plans and that didn't make her someone espousing GOP talking points. Well, she's espousing corporate talking points. And, Fat Amy, no one really gives a f**k what your father did -- same for you, Mayor Pete -- because Daddy's not angling for the presidential nomination, you are.
As Joe Biden falters, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Butthole circle Elizabeth Warren trying to woo the press by trashing Elizabeth. Beto O'Rourke joins in.
All they do is reveal how ugly they are. Fat Amy sports her girth and trashy teeth -- do they not have dentists in Minnesota? Or just not in her grazing area?
Mayor Pete wears lifts for this debate but he's still short and he'll still short Americans and liberties. He's such a drama queen. Can he just stop trying to speak like he has a hot potato in his mouth? Probably not because without that, he's going to sound different -- people will hear his squeaky voice and then he'll just be a short, squeaky shrimp with 'stylish' eyebrows.
Beto? What is up with that ugly nose? And his face spots? We counted 14 alone on his left side. He was supposed to be cute, wasn't he? He was supposed to be Kennedy-like back in 2016. But we don't remember JFK having teeth like chiclets.
Then again, when you act ugly, you sport ugly and Beto sported ugly as he attacked Elizabeth. He also made it clear to America that he is an empty suit with no real thoughts or plans.
While he and Pete bickered over guns, it was left to Cory Booker to speak a truth "police violence is gun violence." It went right over Pete's head -- but then so much usually does.
On war, Tulsi Gabbard observed, "The slaughter of the Kurds being done by Turkey is another consequence of the regime change war that we've been waging in Syria" since 2011 -- and she noted this had been done with the support of politicians from both sides of the aisle as well as with the support of "many in the mainstream media."
War Hawk Joe was dazed and desperate after Tulsi noted that the US has been supporting al Qaeda and other terrorists organizations in Syria and calling them 'freedom fighters.' In his War Hawk panic, Joe threatened, "ISIS is going to come here!"
Get the feeling Joe's been watching too much FOX NEWS and way too many CBS crime shows? We get that feeling also.
Pete was ticked at Tulsi over Syria as well and declared her "dead wrong." He tried to play big boy -- like he did earlier with Beto -- and pretend his toy soldier work was massive -- he was hidden away on a base in Afghanistan where he was a secretary and a driver. But, though you can knock Tulsi for many things, you can never claim she was hidden away safely on a base. She's deployed and she's been out and about in a war zone.
As Tulsi pointed out, Pete couldn't answer whether or not, if president, he'd end the regime change wars. "You would continue," she rightly noted, "to support having US troops in Syria for an indefinite period of time."
War Hawk Joe had another bad night. We'll leave Hunter for another time. But we'll note right now that when asked about the fact that, if elected president, he would turn 80 before 2024 rolled around, he didn't make a good case for himself. Yes, he's old, Joe admitted, but with advanced age "comes wisdom." We were confused where he ever showed wisdom? Isn't he the guy who keeps claiming he only voted for the Iraq War because Bully Boy Bush tricked him? He then insisted he could be president on day one because, "I know what has to be done, I've done it before."
Huh?
So when did Barack go into a coma?
We don't remember it. When was Joe Biden's Alexander Haig moment from 2009 through 2016? We're pretty sure it never happened.
He then wanted to insist, "I'm the only one that got --" and then struggled to say what he got done. Was that wisdom? Or was that just showing yet again that age is not an asset for Joe Biden?
What he got done? As Bernie pointed out to Joe, "You got the disasterous war in Iraq done."
He was dazed and off throughout the debate.
Maybe that's why, when Cory Booker talked about taking on child poverty and how we have "the highest level of child poverty in the world," Joe didn't pipe up that this was why he looked the other way while Hunter made unethical deals with Ukraine and Chine, because he was trying to ensure that his son didn't suffer from child poverty?
He should have stayed silent near the end of the debate but he had to let the real Joe show.
"I got those votes for you!" Joe Biden exploded at Elizabeth Warren demonstrating just how much of a bully to women he actually is. The rage he unleashed was disgusting and very telling.
Also telling? Kamala Harris came to fight and was trying to fight everyone. Early on, Cory stated he wanted to talk about something Kamala brought up (reproductive rights), she immediately gave a sour look and began shaking her head "no." If she'd waited -- and maybe not being able to wait long enough to hear a comment rules you as a presidential contender -- she would have heard Cory's point was that it shouldn't be left to Kamala and other women to defend reproductive rights, it should be everyone defending reproductive rights.
In terms of showing presidential qualities on stage tonight, you could put Elizabeth on that list, Bernie on that list, Tulsi on that list (she was thoughtful and she was humble), Julian Castro and Cory Booker. And? And that's about it. Maybe that was the real take away from the debate?
