Joe Biden Calls an Audible

Assuming himself to be the presumptive nominee of the Democrat party, Smokin' Joe Biden hires a wartime consigliere in hopes of  putting away 'Bernie the Red' and addressing concerns of the organizational mess that have plagued his campaign.  It's not a real head-scratcher at all that he changes the play call and replaces his campaign manager after what we've witnessed, but it's who he chose to fill position that has us kinda smiling.

According to the Washington Examiner, the new Biden campaign manager is Jen O'Malley Dillon.  For those not familiar with Ms. O'Malley Dillon, she has a very interesting background. She worked as field director for president Al Gore's 2000 ill-fated presidential campaign, as Iowa field director for president John Edwards' 2004 and again on his 2008 failed presidential campaigns.  O'Malley Dillon's work also includes deputy campaign manager for scandal ridden former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and a reelection campaign for my own Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, who in 2014 lost a seat to republicans that had been solidly held by democrats since 1883.

But most notably, she was the 2020 presidential campaign manager for the Psychedelic Warrior Beto O'Rourke's utter embarrassing attempt at a national election campaign.  She's now in position to play a major role in the fate of the Democrat party and their comical attempt to prop up Joe Biden to regain the White House.

The Biden Campaign just gets weirder and weirder.....and this little spectacle may be a preview of things to come. LOL!!

Not Sure Obama's Court Jester Is One To Be Giving Guidance on Such Matters

"In the past, Joe Biden has shown terrible judgment and incompetence in the face of public health issues. The Obama White House had to publicly apologize for and clean up after Biden when his irresponsible remarks caused panic during the swine flu outbreak in 2009. 

Just weeks ago, he was openly critical of President Trump’s early move to restrict travel from China to the United States in response to the coronavirus – a decision which medical experts agree helped impede the spread of the virus to this country. Yesterday his campaign actually raised the vile conspiracy theory that the President purposely allowed the coronavirus to spread. In times like this, America needs leadership and Biden has shown none. 

President Trump acted early and decisively and has put the United States on stronger footing than other nations. His every move has been aimed at keeping Americans safe, while Joe Biden has sought to capitalize politically and stoke citizens’ fears." - Tim Murtaugh, Trump 2020 Communications Director

Joe Biden will again politicize coronavirus today. But his record on pandemics is one of incompetence.

During the 2009 swine flu outbreak, Biden made reckless comments unsupported by science & the experts.

Someone should have called Hillary Clinton who apparently as Obama's Secretary of State traveled back in time in 2009 and helped cure the SARS epidemic in 2002-2003

Time We All Take a Deep Breath and Relax

Shits been rolling fast and heavy these past few days. I think it's time we all to take a little break from it all and soothe the soul. What ya say.......

Grumpy Bernard is in this Until the Last Dog is Dead.

This is not entirely a shock. Sanders is no democrat. He has no loyalty to the Democrat party or its leadership. Even last night he was running against them, making vague accusations of voter suppression. His loyalty is to the movement he has given voice to. True to his commie roots, he knows that a bloody and ill-fated resistance is better than compromise. Bernie knows Biden can't make it to the convention without the media cleaning up his messes with broom and dustpan, like sanitation workers following an old sh*tting horse in a parade.

We do however have two things to look forward to. Sunday there will be an epic two-man debate in which Sanders, for moral and political reasons, must go after Biden hammer-and-tongs. And we can thank Bernie for leaving behind a babbling old man Joe and smoking crater where the Democrat party was trying to build unity of purpose.

Joe Biden's Virus Protection Tips For Democrat Primary Voters

➥ EARL DONE THIS

Temper Fear With Reason

by Abdu Sharkawy 
Infectious Diseases Specialist, University Health Network

I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to find new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge. But I am not scared of Covid-19.

What I am scared about is the loss of reason and wave of fear that has induced the masses of society into a spellbinding spiral of panic, stockpiling obscene quantities of anything that could fill a bomb shelter adequately in a post-apocalyptic world. I am scared of the N95 masks that are stolen from hospitals and urgent care clinics where they are actually needed for front line healthcare providers and instead are being donned in airports, malls, and coffee lounges, perpetuating even more fear and suspicion of others. I am scared that our hospitals will be overwhelmed with anyone who thinks they ” probably don’t have it but may as well get checked out no matter what because you just never know…” and those with heart failure, emphysema, pneumonia and strokes will pay the price for overfilled ER waiting rooms with only so many doctors and nurses to assess.

I am scared that travel restrictions will become so far reaching that weddings will be canceled, graduations missed and family reunions will not materialize. And well, even that big party called the Olympic Games…that could be kyboshed too. Can you even imagine?

I’m scared those same epidemic fears will limit trade, harm partnerships in multiple sectors, business and otherwise and ultimately culminate in a global recession. But mostly, I’m scared about what message we are telling our kids when faced with a threat. Instead of reason, rationality, open-mindedness and altruism, we are telling them to panic, be fearful, suspicious, reactionary and self-interested..........MORE

The media have been afflicted with a raging case of Katrina virus. There's no known cure for the self-inflicted disease as long as a Republican occupies the White House, but political experts say the Katrina virus will instantly reverse course if a Democrat ascends to the nation's highest office.  Anything can be a Katrina moment if you add enough sizzle from the media.

Bernie Hires 9/11 Truther as Senior Campaign Advisor

Bernie has a growing tendency to surround himself with 
nasty unsavory characters. Media Yawns.

This is potentially a problematic hire for the Sanders campaign pic.twitter.com/z7pBoauyDu

Phillip Agnew, who also goes by Umi Selah, is a self-described "militant" who tweeted on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that America remembers the day "she turned on herself, dismantled her constitution, and killed her own citizens in the name of money."

It was announced Saturday Agnew was hired as Sanders 2020 Senior Campaign Advisor. Agnew has spoken alongside other high-profile Sanders surrogates such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex and Michael Moore at recent campaign events.  Agnew is co-founder of the Florida based leftist activist group Dream Defenders, which boasts anti-Semitic activist and fellow Sanders surrogate Linda Sarsour as well as notorious Black Panther and Communist Party member Angela Davis as board members. The organization advocates for far-left causes such as the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS) and the idea that every person has a right to a home, clothes, food, and job provided by the government. In other words, they're just another bunch of commies like Bernie.

Agnew joins a growing list of controversial and anti-Semitic figures in the Sanders campaign including Sarsour and the left-wing nut-case and fake negro Shaun King.  The Free Beacon reported this past December that another Sanders campaign official, Darius Khalil Gordon, deputy director of constituency organizing, has a history of racist and misogynistic tweets including homophobic slurs and anti-Semitic references to ‘Jew Money.’

I'm still trying to get my head around why Bernie puts people like Phillip Agnew and 2020 Co-Chair, Nina Turner, the whacked-out loud mouth Negress out front of the campaign.
