They got Al Capone for taxes because the system wasn’t competent enough to nail him for organized crime and murder. Now it looks like Joe Biden is about to be pushed out of the 2020 presidential campaign, but not for his most serious offenses to morality and decency.
Two women have accused former vice president and possible 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden of inappropriately touching their bodies and hair. Serious accusations but the real dirt on Biden is even worse.
If you were in charge of a Democratic Party committee scheming to get rid of President Trump, what would be the low-hanging fruit? Most likely you’d start with his bizarre personality. The Founding Fathers created impeachment as a way to get rid of a mentally incompetent president. You’d certainly consider his sleazy businesses. How many laws has he broken there? What you almost certainly would not do would be to gin up a conspiracy theory in which he enlisted a foreign country to hack Democratic Party computers to obtain information to discredit his opponent.

The United States presents itself as an “honest broker” in peace negotiations between Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories. But they keep putting their thumb on the scale. Now President Trump has eliminated all pretense of objectivity, effectively informing the Palestinians that he doesn’t care about their positions. Trump’s latest gambit: recognizing Israel’s ownership of the Golan Heights, captured from Syria during the Six-Day War.
Americans and the planet they live on have big problems. Why don’t their elected representatives seem to care about solving them?
Poor employers! They say they just can’t find enough qualified workers to fill openings for jobs. Meanwhile. workers still have trouble finding work. If only there were a way to “train” workers to fill positions. We’d even have a name for this procedure. We’d call is: job training.
After a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 plane crashed in Indonesia, it turned out that the accident was probably caused by the failure to train pilots in a new automated piloting protocol. But rather than ground the planes immediately, American officials waited. Then another Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed, probably for the same reason, this time in Ethiopia. Again, the U.S. waited, becoming one of the last countries to deny the planes permission to fly. Why didn’t we put safety first? Because profits matter more than people.
A fish that polluted its environment—water—would be psychotic. Yet that’s exactly what humans are doing to our environment. And we act like it’s perfectly normal.
Donald Trump pointed to a 2020 Republican talking point in his State of the Union Address when he said America would never become a socialist country. Most of the major presidential contenders adhere to “democratic socialist” Bernie Sanders’ principal platform promises so, no matter who wins the Democratic nomination, you know the GOP will wallow in McCarthyism.
