Plus, he’s showing his age something terrible.

He’s fucking 77. Looks great for his age, good luck to him, enjoy retirement dude.

Ummm… his boomerific stance on stuff like marijuana.

Multiple times today, Marge testified that Bart said, “I didn’t do it.”

Fun point of order: Joe Biden isn’t a boomer.

He was born in 1942. That makes him a member of the Silent Generation. Baby Boomers are 1946-1962-64 ish, from the end of World War II.

Sorry, my comment was meant to convey he is too old to run. Probably so is Bernie. Mayor Pete!

Ahhh I misinterpreted that too lol.

Obama is technically a boomer. Weird to think. But he was born just at the end of the Boomer years.

No surprise. They need to be eviscerated in the next election.

i’m going to share a series of reactions i’ve gotten today from Republican lawmakers, aides and strategists to this question I posed on background: “do you think Sondland testimony changes GOP willingness to defend Trump in any material way - House or Senate or voters?”

strategist #1 “materially? No. Not a moral or personal judgment, but I don’t believe this changes GOP case. goes under the category of ceding ground “where this leads is Bye-Bye Giuliani. GOP quietly wants and knows it must happen to move beyond this “public opinion unchanged”

strategist #2 “Not in a way that helps Ds. They had a window for messaging and it closed about 3 weeks ago. “The numbers are all moving the other way now. Watch Fox News and see what most Rs are hearing tonight.”

Neither Biden or the notion that marijuana is a gateway drug belong to the boomer generation. Biden belongs to the silent generation, and the gateway drug propaganda is a product of the silent and G.I. generations (Nixon was part of the G.I. generation).

I can say for a fact that impeachment hearings are a gateway to drinking. I’m cracking a beer before round 2 begins.

I wasn’t disagreeing, just adding that the gateway drug notion isn’t exactly a boomer thing either.

Yeah, they’re going to basically try to keep party discipline intact, continue to mushmouth all of this, and hope the polling doesn’t go any further south.

Thrag · 2019-11-20T22:08:00.788Z

Can they get the second round started already? I’ve got a play to go to in a couple of hours. (Appropriately for the GOP reaction to Sondland’s testimony I’m going to see “Betrayal”)

sillhouette · 2019-11-20T22:08:24.711Z

The tail is completely wagging the dog now. FOX is completely driving the reality and narrative of the GOP, which is now forced to just follow in their wake or be washed out.

What Was It All About

There isn't going to be much soul-searching from New York Times journalists about how they, specifically, were the marks for this Ukraine st...

Donald Trump is the stupidest man in America, but he is smart enough to know that the New York Times would run with “battling accusations of corruption” every time they mentioned Candidate Biden.

And I mean the New York Times. They were the target. Whether they are active players or dumb saps is another question.

Round 2 begins.

@BrandyZadrozny So! On the conservative web today, there was "BREAKING NEWS"—the head Burisma just got indicted and implicated Hunter Biden. This was everywhere. Trump Jr. "liked" it. Gateway Pundit led with it. Q posted it about it! It's also not what happened. nbcnews.com/tech/internet/…
