you claim its been debunked

just once I'd like to see a real investigation by a real investigator who writes a real analysis of a real debunking

not some tripe by a partisan

SR - any proof the Quid pro Joe offered jobs in his administration for dropping out?
seems right in character - doesn't it. IMHO!
Demanding proof on one point from one's opponent, and offering pure supposition in reply????
You are much better than that!

But he did tell Buttplug he now has “leverage” and consider how to use it.

The question was whether or not Obama urged Buttigieg to drop out of the race. He did not. Once out, Obama then advised Pete to use the leverage he had. It was quite obvious that the political leanings of both Buttigieg and Bloomberg aligned with Biden rather than Sanders.

What would be surprising is if Warren drops out and does not support Sanders.

Her staying in the race is actually supporting Biden.

I'm sure Bernie will be more than happy with her just withdrawing!

She was kicking ass when Bernie had his heart attack....been downhill for her every since Bernie returned from the dead.

that would be the likely thing and the speculators are speculating just that.

Warren weighs her options. Endorsing Sanders is probably No. 1.

the only ass she was licking .. er kicking was her own. Warren never had any realistic chance. now the Bernie Bros are mad at her, thinking that if she'd dropped out before Super Tuesday Bernie could have forged a split of the 14 states. not implausible but not what the DNC wants, they don't want Bernie.

tell me that you supported any of her radical socialist shit anymore than you'd support Bernie's. there is no progressive groundswell. poor ecky9.5k must be heartbroken! he actually believed that radical "woke" professor at A&M claiming a movement of young voters of color would rise up against the mean old racist establishment and sweep it away. that ain't happening.

TWK - got a source for the radical "woke" A&M prof - You are aware A&M College Station is at the top of conservative colleges in America.

i can find it. i know what thread it was in i think, if nothing else ecky9.5k posted it so i can search his posts. besides even if i'm wrong about A&M the article is a classic load of "woke" shit.

poor ecky9.5k he must be drowning his sorrows over Biden's assention and the stillborn progressive movement of Bernie

oeb11 · 03-04-2020, 05:43 PM

TWK- thanks for looking.
I did not see anything by 9500 today.

Must be one helluva hangover!

That post will come back to haunt ya doofus, lol.

this is not in reference to crowdstrike. separate issue.

this is about the Burisma thing. if you haven't heard... the Ukrainian court has opened an inquiry about VP Biden's involvement in Shokin's firing and the failure to investigate an illegal laundering transaction by the person who replaced shokin.

bait and switch? I’m guessing you have Hillary involved in your scenario

that possibility cannot be discounted... however, Jerrod Brown's name has been floated...

Fair enough but even if there was a coordinated effort and a QUID PRO QUO - these things happen all the time in politics and don't seem illegal to me.

Why should they deny the obvious? I think proof is possible that it was explained to them how much better their future would be if they got out of the race to help Biden and most of all it was likely sold to them that it would help beat Trump.

It might.

Certainly not impossible. Cetainly happens all the time in politics. Certainly not illegal to me either.
