How Biden’s Foreign-Policy Team Got Rich – Strategic consultants will define Biden’s relationship to the world.
(06.07.2020)
They turned to an industry of power-brokering little known outside the capital: strategic consultancies. Retiring leaders often open firms bearing their names: Madeleine Albright has one, as do Condoleezza Rice and former Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen. Their strategic consultancies tend to blur corporate and governmental roles. This obscure corner of Washington is critical to understanding how a President Joe Biden would conduct foreign policy. He has been picking top advisers from this shadowy world.
Expect More Military “Liberal Interventionism” Under a Joe Biden Presidency
(07.06.2020)
The liberal establishment is desperate to return a centrist to the White House in November and reestablish the country’s more stable military dominance of the world order, disrupted only briefly by Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s terrible track record on foreign policy — including his championing of war in Iraq — suggests a return to Obama-style strong military interventions abroad.
Biden to review Trump move pulling troops from Germany if elected, aide says
President Trump confirmed last month his administration plans to cut the U.S. troop size in Germany roughly in half. The decision drew backlash from both sides of the aisle.
Trump claims intel on Russian bounties was deemed not credible
“Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP,” Trump tweeted late Sunday night. “Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @nytimesbooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad!!!”
Glenn Greenwald ridicules Dems thirsting for George W. Bush endorsement
Co-Founding Editor of The Intercept Glenn Greenwald blasts the Dem establishment for seeking the bipartisan support of former president George W. Bush for Joe Biden.
„Defund the police? Impossible!“ they cried as they defunded education, healthcare, social security, welfare, planned parenthood, public transit…
Democrats making clear that voting won’t help you.
Biden, Democrats seek to shut down calls to defund police
„No, I don’t support defunding the police. I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness,“ he said.
Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill were adopting a similar position.
Who remembers Joe Biden wanting to bomb Serbia?
Monumental stupidity of online smear artists in action: Last night I RT’d a simple tweet with a 2-minute video of Biden angrily demanding massive bombing of Belgrade: seems relevant to know for a presidential candidate. ?♂️ Now I’m a Milosevic apologist, war crimes denier, etc.
Biden widens lead over Trump in Monmouth poll, but Amash may present problem
Amash, a five-term congressman who left the GOP last year amid disagreements with Trump, announced last week that he is exploring a bid for the Libertarian presidential nomination, arguing that voters deserve an option other than Biden or Trump.
Amash received only 5 percent support in the Monmouth poll. But Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said that if the presidential race is as close as it was in 2016, when Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College, the presence of a third-party candidate on the ballot, like Amash, could prove pivotal.
Former Aides to Bernie Sanders Form a Super PAC to Support Joe Biden
Jeff Weaver, who served as Mr. Sanders’s campaign manager in 2016 and as a top adviser in 2020, is leading the effort, which will focus on mobilizing the base of Sanders supporters — young people, liberals Latinos and “blue-collar progressives” — for Mr. Biden.
Other top Sanders officials from the 2020 race who will be involved include …

Libertarians view Amash as potential 2020 game changer for party
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R), who briefly ran in the 2020 GOP primary against Trump, said he believes Amash would be a viable candidate who could pull voters from the left and the right.
„You look at the fastest growth out there in the political field, it’s on the independent side, it’s not with a traditional Republican or Democrat,” Sanford said.
Krystal and Saagar join Kyle Kulinski in calling out Bernie for SHAMING his own supporters
Krystal and Saagar discuss former President Obama’s long-awaited endorsement of Joe Biden.
Krystal Ball: Why the left can’t just roll over for Joe Biden, even if Bernie asks us to
Krystal Ball explains how Obama’s endorsement pushes the left to fall in line and vote for Joe Biden.
I know the media will never understand this but this moment right now, with Bernie trashing his own supporters is exactly why he lost. He was more committed to maintaining power for Dems than claiming it for his own movement.
From „not me, us“ to „not us, him“
AP Interview: Sanders says opposing Biden is ‘irresponsible’
And lest there be any question, the 78-year-old Vermont senator confirmed that “it’s probably a very fair assumption” that he would not run for president again. He added, with a laugh: “One can’t predict the future.”
This Absolute Bullshit Would Not Be Possible Without Propaganda
Joe Biden has been a horrible, evil politician since long before his rape allegations went mainstream and his brain started turning to porridge. If people could gaze with fresh, unmanipulated eyes upon someone who’s dedicated his entire political career to neoliberal exploitation at home and neoconservative mass murder abroad, someone who openly boasts about authoring the foundational documents of the USA PATRIOT Act, someone who promises rich donors that “nothing fundamentally will change” if he’s elected and who they know from experience can be taken at his word, it would never occur to them that this is someone who should be running for any elected office anywhere, let along within spitting distance of the most powerful one in the world.
It is only by the ability of the mass media to manufacture the illusion of normality that this bullshit has been made possible.
Bernie Sanders endorses Joe Biden, they announce ‚working groups‘ on policy issues
„Today, I am asking all Americans, I’m asking every Democrat, I’m asking every Independent, I’m asking a lot of Republicans, to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy, which I endorse — to make certain that we defeat somebody who I believe — and I’m speaking just for myself now — is the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country,“ Sanders said, joining Biden.
Sanders endorses Biden
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she intended to support Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but …
…the “process of coming together should be uncomfortable for everyone involved — that’s how you know it’s working”
We are not endorsing @JoeBiden .
Saagar Enjeti: Have Progressives Given Up On Dem Establishment, Biden?
Saagar Enjeti discusses how Josh Hawley, other GOP and Dem lawmakers, are working across party lines to push economically progressive policies amid the economic fallout.
2020 elections: Barack Obama wins the Democratic primary
In the end, the most influential politician of 2020 might be the one who has been the most silent.
With Bernie Sanders exiting the race and Joe Biden taking on the mantle of presumptive nominee, the man who hovered quietly over the race for more than a year, Barack Obama, will soon return to the political fray.
Dear Bernie: Now’s the time to say FUCK THIS SHIT and run as an independent. NOW. If you had done this in 2016, you’d be running for your second term. The Dems will NEVER let you win, and we can’t wait another 4 years. Sincerely, The „US“ is #NotMeUs
(February 4th, 2020)
I don’t look at Sanders losing primaries and think “my team is losing.” I look at them and say, win or lose, we have millions of people in this country who understand the realities of our world and the urgency required to fight for healthcare, against war and for justice.
Krystal and Saagar react to results, Michael Moore’s dire warning for Democrats
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti evaluate Joe Biden’s victories in Tuesday night’s primaries.
Not sure if I mentioned this recently — I think I did, but just in case: the Democratic establishment is shit, and the only way meaningful progress is possible in the US is if it’s uprooted and destroyed:
If the Democratic Party bosses, major Wall Street firms, credit card companies, weapons manufacturers, health care lobbyists wanted to implement a plan to keep Donald Trump in the White House, I cannot imagine a better move than making Joe Biden the nominee.
The Democratic establishment is shit and the only way meaningful, fundamental progress is possible in US politics is if it’s uprooted and destroyed.
Dems Converge Around Dementia-Addled Warmonger Ahead Of Super Tuesday
Sanders has not been pulling in anywhere near the numbers he’d need to pull to prevent a contested convention. This means that even if he gets more votes than any of his primary opponents, party leaders can still overrule those votes and appoint Biden as their nominee to run against Trump. Establishment spinmeisters as well as all Sanders’ primary opponents have been working to normalize this ahead of time.
The only problem? Biden’s brain is turning into sauerkraut.
Krystal Ball: panicked DNC elites try to stop Bernie’s big Super Tuesday
With Bernie Sanders poised for a big Super Tuesday, Krystal Ball discusses the Democratic establishment’s panic, Elizabeth Warren’s attacks on Sanders, and whether DNC elites are once again alienating the working class voters they lost in 2016.
Maybe the people supporting Biden arent out of touch morons, seems more likely they are just sick sadistic maniacs who get a kick out of watching his mental decline in Public like this. Shame on you.
Huge. The Democratic party is doing what the Republican party couldn’t do. Consolidating around 1 person to stop the anti-establishment candidate
Here we go. Democrats pushing all in on crazy-ass Joe Biden. Amazing
Amy Klobuchar will end 2020 presidential campaign and endorse Joe Biden
Sen. Amy Klobuchar will end her presidential bid on Monday and endorse Joe Biden, a campaign aide tells CNN.
The Klobuchar campaign confirmed that the senator is flying to Dallas to join the former vice president at his rally, where she will suspend her campaign and give her endorsement on the eve of Super Tuesday.
Protesters force Klobuchar to cancel rally in home state of Minnesota
Activists are upset with the case of a black teen sentenced to life in prison while Klobuchar was the county’s prosecutor.
Biden races to lock down moderates as Buttigieg exit rocks rapidly shifting Democratic race
Joe Biden is moving closer to consolidating the support of moderate Democratic voters and donors after a resounding victory in South Carolina and Pete Buttigieg’s departure from the party’s presidential race.
Buttigieg’s exit is better for Biden than Sanders
Let’s start with the simple fact that Biden has been hovering around the 15% threshold for delegates in a number of states, including the huge Super Tuesday delegate prize of California. Biden was at 13% in a CNN/SSRS poll conducted there. Buttigieg was at 7%. If Biden gets two points of that 7%, it could make all the difference in the world to him. That alone could net Biden dozens or more of delegates.
Buttigieg is out as Democrats march toward Super Tuesday and beyond
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders holds substantial leads in the two largest states to vote in this week’s Super Tuesday lineup of primaries, according to new CNN polls conducted by SSRS in California and Texas.
Trump: Buttigieg dropping out is start of Dems ‚taking Bernie out of play‘
Trump predicted in a tweet that the majority of Buttigieg’s votes in Super Tuesday states would go to Biden, thereby hamstringing Sanders’s chances of obtaining the Democratic nomination.
„Pete Buttigieg is OUT,“ Trump wrote. „All of his SuperTuesday votes will go to Sleepy Joe Biden. Great timing. This is the REAL beginning of the Dems taking Bernie out of play – NO NOMINATION, AGAIN!“
