This Trump/Ukraine/Impeachment Story Is Doing Too Much, So We're Gonna Update This Post as Shit Happ

Donald Trump’s apparent attempt to persuade a foreign government to sic the Ukrainian Sherlock Holmes on Joe Biden has created a maelstrom of constantly breaking news stories. Democrats are impeaching, Republicans are obstructing, the president is whining, whistles are blowing, reporters are reporting and I’m pretty sure I read something about a partridge in a pear tree.
So instead of traipsing all over the internet trying to keep up with the President’s shenanigans, you can just keep refreshing this post.

You’re welcome.

Let’s start off with the complete, unclassified whistleblower complaint:

tons of attention for a long thread on Twitter ridiculing Biden for the Corn Pop story, insisting Corn Pop couldn't exist, and suggesting it showed Biden was racist.

And he didn't apologize even after EVERYONE knew the story was true, and confirmed by witnesses like the man who was later head of Delaware's NAACP.

I would not trust Harriot to provide any relialble info on any matter, especially one concerning Joe Biden.

Maybe he's trying to salvage some credibility by actually providing some information, instead of misinformed idiocy like that Twitter thread of his, which he thought was sooooooooooo funny.

And if so, that would be a definite improvement.

But there are still a lot more reliable sources.

And if Harriot had done anything similarly vicious and defamatory to any other candidate, I'd feel the same way.

I think he completely shredded his own credibility with that attack on Biden.

The same can not be said of others.

I am actually supportive of most of the candidates and K&R them. I have my preference, Warren. Runner ups are Harris, Klobuchar and Biden.

Interesting.

I would not trust Harriot to provide any relialble info on any matter, especially one concerning Joe Biden.


So, you will not trust him, a black man on speaking out for black lives and how they matter to a black man.

My guess is he does not like Biden. He did not like Hillary either.

Yet I trust his belief that black lives matter.

deliver any facts accurately, and his latest column is a pretense that he's going to do just that.

I especially don't trust him to deliver any facts about Biden honestly, after his vicious and dishonest take on the Pop Corn story.

And he's insulting his own readers by suggesting the Ukraine story's just too hard for them to follow. I guess he must feel they can't be as bright as he is.

If he limits himself to just copying freely available documents anyone can find all over the Net, I guess he isn't doing too much harm.

But he won't be making the story any easier for people to understand by just supplying a tiny portion of the documents.

And if he tries to set out his own narrative for a news story involving Joe Biden, after he's revealed his bias against Biden, Harriot simply shouldn't be trusted.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
