Not as far as the White House, friend!!!

Likable? Whitmer just seems to exude evil to me.

Joe Biden vows to reverse Trump administration's policies in Israel if elected president

https://www.washingtonexaminer...if-elected-president



Presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden warns there will be no peace in the Middle East if Israel doesn't stop the threat of annexation.

During a Tuesday virtual fundraiser with members of the U.S. Jewish community, Biden vowed to reverse President Trump's policies in the Israeli region and restore the hope of peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

In order to achieve that goal, Biden said the United States should restore diplomatic relationships with the Palestinian Authority. If elected president, the former vice president said he would help build efforts with Palestinians to take steps toward a two-state solution if they agreed on it.

“My commitment to Israel is absolutely unshakable,” Biden said, saying he would help the Israel maintain its "qualitative military edge" while taking steps towards peace.

Earlier this year, Trump unveiled a peace plan that would give Israel sovereignty over approximately 30% of the West Bank territory and the Jordan Valley. The plan also calls for the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state with a capital in east Jerusalem.

Biden said he does not support the Israeli annexation of the West Bank and called accusations of anti-Semitism, "The mother of all conspiracy theories."

"Criticism of Israel's policy is not anti-Semitism, but too often that criticism from the Left morphs into anti-Semitism," Biden said. "Arguably, we haven't heard enough about the Holocaust because people are still trying to deny its horrible reality. We have to keep talking about it. So many people forget. It’s almost hard to believe.”

Trump has established a strong relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has expressed support for Trump's plan. The president made a longtime promise vowed by past presidents to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem into reality, fully recognizing the latter as Israel's true capital. Biden has vowed to keep the embassy in Jerusalem if elected.

Biden also said he has had a good relationship with Netanyahu for decades but is disappointed that the prime minister has moved "so, so far to the Right.”

Likable? Whitmer just seems to exude evil to me.

Whatever Whitmer/Whitler says just turn it 180 degrees and you have the truth. She lies like a cheap toupee.

What's likable about her? The fact that she exudes "charm"? That has to come right from her speechwriters. The next statement, I know that remarks about physical appearance are frowned upon but there were many negative comments regarding her too tight outfit in the news media the next day. When I caught a bit of it on TV the first thing I thought was "Who the hell dresses her?" She kind of blew it off in a joking manner until the comments died down in several days.

Maybe coincidence but has anybody noticed that she usually dresses in blue in press conferences?

I've said that she, our Attorney General and Secretary of State all are bucking for Federal positions, they are using their elected offices as stepping stones to enhance themselves in the eyes of the Democratic Party.

And if Whitmer does leave the Governorship of Michigan we will be stuck with Garlen Gilchrist, our Lieutenant Governor. He had some pretty interesting history with the Detroit Land Bank, the website Detroit Curbed has a story about that.

Just my opinion - Biden will really piss off the DEM black vote if he doesn't pick a black woman for VP. They feel they "are owed" because Clyburn saved Biden's campaign when it was falling thru the floor.

Gilchrist = Mini Obama. And Whitmers comments after the protests in Lansing tell you all you need to know about her.

Ukraine judge orders Joe Biden be listed as alleged perpetrator of crime in prosecutor’s firing

https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter

The infamous story of Joe Biden’s effort to force the firing of Ukraine’s chief prosecutor in 2016 has taken a new legal twist in Kiev, just as the former vice president is sewing up the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination in America.

In Kiev late last month, District Court Judge S. V. Vovk ordered the country’s law enforcement services to formally list the fired prosecutor, Victor Shokin, as the victim of an alleged crime by the former U.S. vice president, according to an official English translation of the ruling obtained by Just the News.

The court had previously ordered the Prosecutor General’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigations in February to investigate Shokin’s claim that he was fired in spring 2016 under pressure from Biden because he was investigating Burisma Holdings, the natural gas company where Biden’s son Hunter worked.

The court ruled then that there was adequate evidence to investigate Shokin’s claim that Biden’s pressure on then-President Petro Poroshenko, including a threat to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, amounted to unlawful interference in Shokin’s work as Ukraine’s chief prosecutor.

But when law enforcement agencies opened the probe they refused to name Biden as the alleged perpetrator of the crime, instead listing the potential defendant as an unnamed American.

Vovk ruled that anonymous listing was improper and ordered the law enforcement agencies to formally name Biden as the accused perpetrator.

The ruling orders “a competent person of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine who conducts procedural management in criminal proceedings No. 62020000000000236 dated February 24, 2020 to enter information into the Unified register of pre-trial investigations … a summary of facts that may indicate the commission of a criminal offense under Paragraph 2 of Article 343 of the Criminal procedure code of Ukraine on criminal proceedings No. 62020000000000236 dated February 24, 2020, namely: information on interference in the activities of the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Shokin, Viktor Mykolaiovych performed by citizen of the United States of America Joseph Biden, former U.S. Vice President.”

The judge added, “the order of the court may not be appealed.”

Shokin’s attorney, Oleksandr Ivanovych Teleshetskyi, confirmed the ruling to Just the News but said Ukraine officials have not yet complied.

“Viktor Shokin publicly appealed to the president of Ukraine with a request to properly respond to illegal inaction in the investigation of criminal cases that are open against Joseph Biden,” Teleshetskyi said. “Let me remind you that they were discovered precisely as a result of the statement of Viktor Shokin.”

The Biden-Shokin saga has dominated headlines for more than a year, and played a central role in the Democrat-led impeachment proceedings that ended earlier this year with President Trump’s acquittal in the Senate.

Biden has admitted on videotape he forced then-Ukraine President Poroshenko to fire Shokin in March 2016 by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees. But Biden has steadfastly denied Shokin’s firing was due to the Burisma case. Instead, Biden said, he and other Western leaders believed Shokin was ineffective as a corruption fighter.

Shokin, however, has alleged in a court affidavit he was told he was fired because he refused to stand down his investigation of alleged corruption by Burisma and after he planned to call Hunter Biden as a witness to question him about millions of dollars in payments his American firm received from the Ukraine gas company.

Shokin has also disputed Democrats' claims he was fired because he was incompetent or corrupt, producing among other pieces of evidence a letter from the U.S. State Department in summer 2015 that praised his anti-corruption plan as Ukraine’s chief prosecutor.

While the Biden-Shokin factual dispute remains unresolved, the impeachment trial last year generated testimony from State Department witnesses who said they believed Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma while his father oversaw U.S.-Ukraine policy created an uncomfortable appearance of a conflict of interest.

Both Bidens have denied wrongdoing but acknowledged they wished they had handled the matter differently.

Shokin’s continued pursuit of a case in the Ukraine courts could prompt new disclosures this summer as Biden readies for the fall election against Trump.

On Tuesday, a Ukraine parliamentary member released what he said were excerpts of phone calls between Poroshenko and Biden discussing Shokin’s firing, but neither man has confirmed their authenticity yet.

In an interview, Shokin told Just the News he is confident he can unearth evidence during the proceedings that Ukraine officials were satisfied with his performance and simply acceded to firing him to avoid losing the badly needed U.S. loan guarantees.

Just got this from a good friend.

Reminds me of my thoughts when Bill Clinton just started to emerge as a presidential candidate.

Really? Is the average voter—black, white, or whatever—really that perceptive and engaged in the political process?

It seems to me that most voters are motivated by and base their decisions on things that are far less nuanced. For example, my county has many residents who resemble the rightest of the right in other ways, and yet they vote Democrat every time even for jobs like coroner that have no political components merely because their great-grandpas were union miners whom they believe were oppressed by Republicans.

When I saw this clip, I immediately had a flashback to an old episode of "In Living Color" with Wanda on a blind date! https://youtu.be/vgw5y3fg1Ik

(At least Wanda had the courage handle being rejected, which is more than
Stacy Abram's response - or lack thereof!)

Same friend

If Biden picks Whitmer as his veep, Trump will win MI again.

^^^ I think Trump wins Michigan again regardless of who Bidet picks. If he doesn’t, there are some seriously stupid people in that state after what Whitless has pulled.

One would think that after all the damage that her mentor Granholm caused, they would have learned...


There's probably an answer to your statement in there somewhere

It's Whitler, get the name right.

Those Biden calls were brutally blatant

Careful, Bernie. You're not too old to be sent to the gulag.

Sen. Bernie Sanders' political team – in an apparent bid for party unity – is asking supporters chosen to represent the former presidential candidate at the Democratic convention to sign agreements preventing them from criticizing Democratic Party leaders or other 2020 contenders either in person or on social media during this summer’s confab.

And that’s not sitting well with some Sanders supporters who’ve received or heard about the agreements.
