(Yahoo News) In case you missed it this week while you were busy trembling with fear in your home, seven women have come forward with accusations of inappropriate behavior, with three of them speaking out after former Vice President Joe Biden responded to the previous allegations in a video posted to Twitter Wednesday.
The gestures the women recalled include inhaling the hair of former Nevada lawmaker Lucy Flores and kissing the back of her head; rubbing noses with former political aide Amy Lappos; resting his hand on the thigh of sexual assault survivor Caitlyn Caruso during an event on sexual assault at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and hugging her “just a little bit too long”; and, last but most likely not least, dropping his hand down the back of writer D. J. Hill at a fundraising event in Minneapolis.
On Wednesday, after Biden pledged to be “more mindful and respectful of people’s personal space,” three more women accused him of inappropriate behavior, as reported by the Washington Post. Vail Kohnert-Yount was a White House intern when, she said, Biden introduced himself to her in the basement of the West Wing and “put his hand on the back of my head and pressed his forehead to my forehead while he talked to me.”
Stuart Bell says
Now we are being served up our first African-American VP pick. The problem is her father is Jamaican born and her mother is Indian born. She does not have one ounce of African-American in her. The only African- American she had in her was Willie Brown while he was cheating on his wife. They are touting her as black, but she is just as much Indian. Just like Obama was not out first black president. We have not had a full blooded African-American president yet. He was just as much white as he was black.
All smoke and mirrors.
Paul Plante says
In a 2018 article written in Jamaica Global, Donald Harris, the father of Democrat “Corn Pop” Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris, claimed to be a descendant of slave owner Hamilton Brown, which in turn would make Kamala Harris herself the off-spring of the famous slave owner Hamilton Brown (1776 – 18 September 1843) who was an Irish sugar planter and slave owner in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica, which he represented in the House of Assembly of Jamaica for 22 years.
In 1832, Kamala Harris’ slave-owning ancestor Hamilton Brown met Henry Whiteley, the author of “Three months in Jamaica, in 1832: comprising a residence of seven weeks on a sugar plantation” published in 1833, on his trip to Jamaica to whom Kamala Harris’ slave-owning ancestor argued that Jamaican slaves were better off than the poor of England and therefore the British government should not interfere with the way the Jamaican planters managed their slaves; Whiteley went on to witness harsh and arbitrary whipping of slaves at the plantations that he visited during his stay.
So we have the offspring of a wicked slave 0wner now running for vice president of the United States of America.
One has to wonder how the liberals and progressives among us who call us “racists” all the time will take the fact that the offspring of a slave owner will be one heartbeat away from the Office of the President on the United States of America.
Bet that will fry their bread for them but good!
Paul Plante says
And it is interesting to watch the tap-dancing going on here by SNOPES with respect to Kamala Harris being descended from a white slave owner in Jamaica, according to her father, who one would think would know his lineage as well as anyone, and why on earth would he make up a tale about being descended from a white slave owner if it wasn’t true?
Here is how SNOPES is spinning things here in its article entitled “Did U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris’ Ancestor Own Slaves in Jamaica – Based on an article written by the 2020 presidential Democratic primary candidate’s father, right-leaning opponents dove head-first into an ill-judged attack on her” by Dan MacGuill published 2 July 2019 where we have as follows:
CLAIM: U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris is descended from the 19th-century slave owner Hamilton Brown.
RATING: Unproven
end quotes
Unproven?
How about that.
Is SNOPES calling Kamala Harris’ father a liar one must wonder?
Or are they saying he is delusional and doesn’t know what he is talking about?
Getting back to that story we have:
ORIGIN:
In June and July 2019, social media users shared reports that claimed one of the ancestors of 2020 presidential Democratic primary candidate and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) was a slave owner on the Caribbean island of Jamaica.
Such claims were shared widely in the aftermath of the first round of Democratic primary debates, during which Harris brought racial issues to the fore by criticizing primary rival and former Vice President Joe Biden’s legislative record on busing, which she called “hurtful” to her as a black woman.
The focus on racial issues and Harris’ racial identity intensified after Donald Trump, Jr., son of President Donald Trump, briefly shared a tweet that averred: “Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black.”
“She is half Indian and half Jamaican.”
The source of that tweet, the @ali account, has consistently promulgated the claim that Harris is descended from “Jamaican Slave Owners.”
Amid the renewed scrutiny of Harris’ family history, the right-leaning website “Big League Politics” posted what it said were the names of the “slaves Kamala Harris’ ancestor owned,” adding:
“Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery.”
The “Red State” website published a similar post, whose headline asked, “When Will Race-Baiting Kamala Harris Acknowledge She is a Descendant of a Slave Owner?”
Similar reports appeared on right-leaning blogs and websites in January and February 2019.
All of them were based on an account written by Donald Harris, a retired Stanford University economics professor and the father of Sen. Harris.
On Jan. 13, Jamaica Global, a website for the global Jamaican diaspora, published an article that Prof. Harris had written in September 2018 about his family’s roots in Jamaica.
He was born on the island, before immigrating to the United States in the 1960s, to pursue a career as an economist and university lecturer.
While studying for his Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley, he met Shyamala Gopalan, an Indian cancer researcher.
The couple were married, and their daughter, the future California Attorney General and U.S. Senator, was born in Berkeley in 1964.
Harris and her sister, Maya, are therefore first-generation American citizens, born in the U.S. to a Jamaican father and Indian mother.
In his Jamaica Global article, Harris claimed to be descended from the 19th-century planter and slave owner Hamilton Brown.
He wrote:
“My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me).”
“The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).”
There is no doubt that Hamilton Brown was a prominent plantation owner in Jamaica during the first half of the 19th century, owned slaves, and also advocated against the abolition of slavery and sought to downplay the difficult working and living conditions of slaves in Jamaica.
However, we have been unable to verify that a line of descent exists between the modern-day Harris family and the 19th-century slave owner.
As such, the claim that an ancestor of Sen. Harris owned slaves in Jamaica remains unproven.
If evidence emerges that verifies that line of descent, we will update this fact check accordingly.
end quotes
All I can say back to SNOPES is what kind of mealy-mouth BULL**** is that that you are peddling about SNOPES being unable to verify that a line of descent exists between the modern-day Harris family and the 19th-century slave owner?
Are you calling out Donald Harris as a liar?
Or are you telling us he is crazy?
Sorin Varzaru says
For someone who claims to be an “independent” it’s amazing how your views align 100% every time with Republicans/Conservatives. So, I call bullshit.
Paul Plante says
Call “soooooeeee, pig, pig, pig” at the top of your lungs and you might get the hogs to come back home as well, Sorin.
Check the voter registrations and there you will find me listed as INDEPENDENT!
If you need something to call real BULL****, aim your fire at that stupid SNOPES article and you will be right on target.
Paul Plante says
And if you need something more to round out your quota of things to call BULL**** besides that stupid SNOPES article, try calling that “Corn Pop” story “Corn Pop” Biden is telling us above here.
With his penchant for making things up, that story has to be at the top of his cosiderable BULL**** list, and that is my opinion as an American citizen who is neither a ******* worthless “progressive,” read mindless, Democrat, or a worthless Republican.
Paul Plante says
And this is America, Sorin, not Russia or Romania, so I can think anything I damn well please, without having to answer to you or anyone else for that matter, and if it happens to be similar or the same as what you are saying some Republican or Conservative is thinking, what of it?
IS IT ILLEGAL?
IS IT IMMORAL?
IS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
Paul Plante says
In America, Sorin, the Republic I was born in and am a citizen of, freedom of expression, which you PROGRESSIVES are trying to crush and strip from us in this country as you did in the Soviet Union and Maoist China, is an important HUMAN RIGHT which is essential for a society to be democratic.
It enables the free exchange of ideas, opinions and information and thus allows members of society to form their OWN OPINIONS on issues of public importance.
So, simply stated, with this continual “calling out” of myself because I don’t drink your progressive Kool-Aid, you are revealing yourself to be a HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSER!
And based on the above, the opinion I have formed is this: Donald Harris, an obviously intelligent man, would know his family tree better than anyone, so when he says he is descended from a white Jamaican slave owner, so be it, he is.
As to your views and those of the decidedly racist A-HOLES at SNOPES, however, contrary to my opinion, what you are saying is that because he is Black, he can’t possibly know who he is related to, because with Blacks, hey, you can never know, because they could be descended from just about anybody, so they would be the last to know their parentage, which has to be to most incredibly racist statement to come down the pike in a long time, your assertion that because the father of Kamala Harris is Black, he has no real idea of who his ancestors are, and thus cannot be trusted when he asserts that there is a white slave owner in the Harris family tree.
So tell us, Sorin, how’s it feel to be a racist?
Sorin Varzaru says
“So tell us, Sorin, how’s it feel to be a racist?”
I would not know. Just because you call me racist doesn’t make me one. The same way you calling yourself an independent, doesn’t make you one. You are spewing anti democrat, anti progressive crap 25 times a day. You are a conservative with strong xenofobic and racist tendencies. And that’s not because I say so, it’s because of what you think and write.
Paul Plante says
Sorin, you can tap-dance around reality with the best of them and that is a fact!
You are a sophister par excellance!
Well done.
Paul Plante says
So-called “Progressives” are really dangerous fascist A-HOLES who are a grave danger to our human rights as citizens of the United States of America.
Repeat 24 more times.

COME ON MAN !!!!!!!! You are a Lying, Dog-Faced-Pony-Soldier!!!!!!!!COME ON MAN!!!!!!!! Let’s do Push-Ups and See!!!!
“CornPop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys,” he said.
One day, Biden recalled, CornPop refused to wear a bathing cap, flouting pool rules. Biden spotted him on the pool’s 3m diving board, and decided to lay down the law.
“You! Off the board, or I’ll come up and drag you off,” Biden shouted.
CornPop came down but apparently was displeased – not least because Biden had also called him “Esther”, a reference to then-prominent swimmer Esther Williams.
CornPop said he would be waiting outside. He was true to his word, Biden remembered: “He was waiting there with three guys [with] straight razors.”
Acting on the advice of a man he described as a pool mechanic, Biden walked out to meet CornPop head on.
“I walked out with the chain. I walked up to my car,” Biden said. “I said: ‘First of all … when I tell you to get off the board, you get off the board, and I’ll kick you out again. But I shouldn’t have called you Esther Williams, I apologize.’
“But I don’t know if that apology is going to work.”
CornPop backed down, Biden said.
“He said OK, closed the straight razor and my heart began to beat again.”
Paul Plante says
Go back to this sentence above here for a mo9ment: “CornPop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys,” he said.
Well, if the original Corn Pop was a bad dude, Joe Biden is at least three times that bad, and then some, facing down and scaring all those lesser bad dudes with their straight razors that Joe wasn’t one bit afraid of, knowing his own considerable martial skills made him more than a match for all of them, at once.
So by doing so, standing up to the original Corn Pop, Joe Biden took not only the original Corn Pop’s manhood, such of it as there was, but he took his name, as well, as his vanquisher – the law of the jungle.
As Scipio became Africanus, so Joe Biden has become “Corn Pop.”
Works for me, anyway, understanding how these things are done on the street and in the hood where Joe Biden originally came from.
So it’s a sign of respect to call Joe Biden “Corn Pop.”
Paul Plante says
Speaking about people being busy trembling with fear in their homes on the command of Democrats like “Blackface” Northam, who wanted to get out ahead of the social injustice curve by experiencing first-hand what it is truly is like to be Black in America, as opposed to a privileged white boy, and Andy Cuomo of New York, today I heard Democrat presidential contender “Corn Pop” Biden at his news conference outlining the Draconian police state he intends to impose on the people of the United States of America should he become our next president, telling us that if elected, he was going to MANDATE that every single person in America would have to wear a mask when outside for the next four months.
How “Corn Pop” intends to enforce that mandate has not yet been made clear.
Do we really want to live in a police state under “Corn Pop” Biden, with him micro-managing every aspect of our lives as if we were incapable of doing so ourselves?
As for me, I live on ten wooded acres of land with no near neighbors, so I will be damned if I am going to walk around outside on my own property wearing a mask because “Corn Pop” Biden has ordered me to do so.
What say you, America?
Paul Plante says
And while we are on that subject of the efforts of “PROGRESSIVES” like Sorin and his BLACK LIVES MATTER cohorts to crush freedom of expression in this country, as the PROGRESSIVES managed to do in the Soviet Union and Maoist China, which freedom is an important HUMAN RIGHT in the United States of America which is essential for a society to be democratic because it enables the free exchange of ideas, opinions and information and thus allows members of society to form their OWN OPINIONS on issues of public importance, something “PROGRESSIVES” like Sorin and BLACK LIVES MATTER, are very much against, for stark and graphic proof of that assertion, let us simply go to a story in the Albany, New York Times Union entitled “MAGA hat cake leads to protest, counter demonstration at Coccadott’s bakery – Colonie business’ July posts on Instagram, Facebook spark delayed activist response” by Kenneth C Crowe II on Aug. 13, 2020, where we see just how dangerous to our HUMAN RIGHTS this BLACK LIVES MATTER crowd is becoming, to wit:
Updated: Aug. 14, 2020 12:26 p.m.
COLONIE – Coccadotts Cake Shop employees could be seen working inside the Central Avenue store as supporters of its baking a cake in the shape of a red Make American Great Again hat in late July and Black Lives Matter protesters faced each other outside.
end quotes
In America today, under the dictatorial, despotic and tyrannical rule of BLACK LIVES MATTER, it is no longer acceptable for a baker in America to bake a cake that reminds someone in BLACK LIVES MATTER of a MAGA hat.
As we can clearly see from this article, in America today under the rule of BLACK LIVES MATTER, that can no longer be done.
Getting back to that article on the despotic rule of BLACK LIVES MATTERN in America today, we have:
The Black Lives Matter protesters were equipped with bullhorns but they were greatly outnumbered by anti-protesters who waved American flags and encouraged passing vehicles to beep their horns in support.
“Hey, hey, ho, ho, racism has got to go,” came from the Black Lives Matter ranks.
“They’re able to feel what they feel about their politics.”
“We have issues when it comes to social injustice as in firing someone because they’re gay, wearing all lives matter masks,” said Legacy Casanova of Schenectady, who had been speaking to the crowd.
end quotes
And there we have it, people, straight from the source – WEARING A MASK THAT SAYS ALL LIVES MATTER IS A FORM OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE AND THEREFORE MASKS WHICH SAY ALL LIVES MATTER AS OPPOSED TO JUST BLACK LIVES MATTERING MUST BE CONDEMNED AND DESTROYED BY ORDER OF OUR RULERS IN BLACK LIVES MATTER.
I bet when Sorin hears that, he will be positively gleeful, if he isn’t already.

Right now, the largest danger to human rights is the POTUS, your idol. Did you build your shrine yet?
Paul Plante says
EARTH to Sorin:
POINT I: As an American citizen, I don’t have idols because I don’t need idols in my life to make it whole or complete.
POINT II: I am not obsessed with Donald Trump as you are.
POINT III: As an American citizen, I don’t build shrines, because I don’t need shrines in my life to make it whole of complete.
ERGO: No, Sorin, Trump is not my idol, and thus, unlike you, who obsesses about Trump 24/7, I have no need nor desire to emulate you by building a pedestal to put Trump up on so I can then tear it down.
tokenny says
Sorin, Paul is afraid to attack Trump and his policies and/or the Republicans because it would alienate his “fan base” here. So he pontificates on Democrats though they are not in power.
It’s as simple as that.
Paul Plante says
tokenny, have I ever told you that in here, at least, and I believe you do it for the sake of injecting some much-needed levity into these otherwise very serious discussions on which way government at the federal level is going to go, either to Marxism, or not, you exhibit all the characteristics of someone who is brain-dead?
tokenny says
Sorry Paul, if you’re going to comment on what I wrote then comment on it. We all know the Mirror has become the “Paul Plante stage.” Afraid that your fans will turn on you if you speak bad about the Republicans or is it you are truly a Republican and not the independent you say you are, which is it? Are you embarrassed to be a Republican?
Review all your posts you save Paul. Show us were you have been critical of the republican position. Do a tally for us -pro and con. As a true “independent” surely you can’t agreed with “all” of the policies and actions the president’s administration has done?
You are the only one who thinks the millions of readers of the Mirror are brain-dead. Paul, the biggest fake is not the media and the news, it’s you.
Paul Plante says
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!
Stop it, tokenny!
You’re killing me, dude, with all your levity and hilarity!
I can’t take all this laughing.
Not in one day, anyway.
And yes, while a good guffaw such as you provide is good for the immune system, some moderation is required to maintain homeostasis, as too much guffawing is just as bad or worse than not enough.
And you are totally stupid, tokenny.
Just saying.
When I come in here, I come here to comment on what the threads are about.
This one, you moron, is about “More Woman Come forward with Accusations against Biden.”
So why are you expecting me to go off-topic to talk about Trump and his policies in a thread clearly titled “More Woman Come forward with Accusations against Biden?”
And in a thread clearly titled “More Woman Come forward with Accusations against Biden,” why are you ranting about Trump and the Republicans?
Because you are an idiot?
Paul Plante says
Here is the best proof that I can offer you, tokenny, that I am not a Republican:
THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR January 24 2018
tkenny says @ at 3:56 pm:
In his (Paul Plante who stands accused by tokenny of being a Republican) position as Associate Public Health Engineer in the (corrupt) Rensselaer County Department of Health and Director of the Environmental Health Division, petitioner was required to enforce the Public Health Law and local and State sanitary codes in relation to environmental health matters under the general direction of Kenneth Van Praag ( a real flaming corrupt Republican if there ever was one), the County’s (corrupt) Public Health Director.
According to petitioner’s job description, he was to be accorded “considerable leeway * * * for the exercise of independent judgment in overseeing the operation of the Division of Environmental Health.
The events giving rise to this proceeding by petitioner, a licensed professional engineer, apparently stem from his belief that Van Praag, his (corrupt) administrative supervisor but not an engineer, lacked authority to direct him as to what he perceived to be technical engineering matters related to the Environmental Health Division, for in such matters petitioner answered to the State Health Department (the commissioner of which, Dr. David Axelrod, had detailed petitioner as a licensed professional engineer to put an end to endemic corruption in the Rensselaer County Health Department Environmental Health Division).
Insubordination and other charges filed against petitioner (after petitioner announced felony charges against Van Praag) by (Republican) Van Praag resulted in extensive hearings and a recommendation by the (Republican) Hearing Officer that petitioner be discharged.
Respondent (Republican) Rensselaer County Executive (hereinafter respondent) (John L. “Smiling Jack Buono) adopted the Hearing Officer’s recommendation insofar as petitioner was found to have been insubordinate in violation of County Work Rule No. 26.
….
A State Health Department report confirmed many of petitioner’s allegations concerning the County Health Department’s enforcement of applicable laws and regulations and petitioner may indeed have been justified in refusing to follow orders which directly contradicted regulations he was to enforce.
However favorably that conduct may be viewed, the fact remains that the specifications involved here concern different conduct, namely, his refusal to follow orders concerning administrative and organizational functions.
The record more than amply supports the finding that petitioner did not follow his superiors’ orders in nontechnical areas and that he could not, or chose not to, distinguish between such matters and the more technical matters in which he, as a licensed engineer, concededly had authority to act without interference from his nonprofessional superiors (see, Matter of Short v Nassau County Civ. Serv. Commn., 45 N.Y.2d 721, 723).
Thus, combined with the fact that even at the hearing petitioner did not completely recognize Van Praag as his direct superior in the county government (at the hearing, petitioner made it clear that he intended to proceed with felony charges against Van Praag for practicing engineering without a license) and that, as he is fully aware, his credibility has been destroyed (by the Rensselaer County Republicans falsely asserting that petitioner was mentally ill and dangerous as a result of being a Viet Nam veteran), it cannot be said that his dismissal is so disproportionate to the offense as to shock one’s sense of fairness.

MJM says
No I haven’t built my shrine yet. I just started buying lottery tickets again though, because if I win I do want to hire someone to add Trump to Mt. Rushmore.
You are absolutely wrong about POTUS being a large danger to human rights. There is absolutely no basis for that statement to be considered factual. Any attempt to create a statement to give that opinion teeth could be debunked in 1/2 a heartbeat.
The gravest danger to human rights in our country was brought to The White House from a one term Chicago politician 11 years ago. He turned our FBI and other security agencies against our own people and covered it up. It is just starting to come out now, and be proven that the entire Russia thing was a paid for hoax and he and his administration not only knew everything about it, but they planned it. PLANNED TO DESTROY THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT !! You know that’s treason, right ? We have text messages from Obama himself to the F.B.I. stating that he wanted to constantly be kept informed of the insurance policy. This is not some political game of monopoly. A.G. Barr just got started, and as long as Pres. Trump is re elected we will get to the bottom of this, and it is going to get ugly. Uglier than things have ever been in my lifetime. But I sure want it to happen.
Paul Plante says
Say it like YOU see it, MJM, instead of the way these so-called “Progressives” are really dangerous fascist A-HOLES who are a grave danger to our human rights as citizens of the United States of America demand that you see it!

“When I come in here, I come here to comment on what the threads are about.”
The “millions” of readers of the Mirror have collectively fallen on the floor, gasping for breath because they are laughing so hard at reading the above line YOU wrote.
Taking a line from Stuart (who should pop up in here shortly) “you been called out” Answer the question I asked Paul. You came here for discourse. I am ready. I’m sure the good readers will overlook a hijacked thread.
As you know and I think Ray has forgotten, the Republicans are in charge of our Country. Paul, I’m sure you can explain to Ray that the Republicans hold the Senate and the Presidency. The Democrats are not in charge, they are the minority party. Though Ray could be confused because it doesn’t
look like the party in charge has any clue as to how to govern and he assumes that must mean its the democrats.
Ray, I don’t think I have to call you any names. When you think about what you wrote “Democrats not in power. Hardy” I think you should be embarrassed for not knowing who is in charge of the country or how the political system works.
Paul, the honest thing to do would be answer my question posted in the above comment on Aug 16th at 6:42pm
Paul Plante says
The honest thing to do would be to call you for what you are, tokenny – a ******* moron.
And guess what?
You called me out, and I didn’t bother to come, for many reasons, starting with the fact that you are insignificant.
But let us play your stupid little game, to make you so happy you would likely get laughing in a real giddy fashion and pee your pants.
Let’s start here:
tokenny says @ August 16, 2020 at 2:26 pm: Sorin, Paul is afraid to attack Trump and his policies and/or the Republicans because it would alienate his “fan base” here.
So he pontificates on Democrats though they are not in power.
It’s as simple as that.
end quotes
And since you said it, tokenny, you believe that it is true, because you said it, and you believe that you would never lie to yourself or anyone else for that matter, so there is nothing I can say to convince you that indeed, you are not only lying to yourself, but to the millions of readers of the Mirror across not only this country, but the world, as well, given the global reach of our voices here in the Cape Charles Mirror, tokenny, who have collectively fallen on the floor, gasping for breath because they are laughing so hard at reading the above line YOU wrote, when you hand out that serving of tripe that I am afraid to attack Trump and his policies and/or the Republicans because it would alienate my non-existent “fan base” in here here.
Moving right along, we next come to this vivid and graphic example of a prime-for-plucking tokenny-ism, to wit:

tokenny says
Paul, millions of your followers are wondering what’s going on? The man who thrives on public discourse is suddenly apprehensive about a discussion of a topic of interest to us humble folk here. How can a man insist he is an Independent voter but NEVER question the Republican administration? Come on Paul, there are some outlandish things happening with them and not a peep, a commentary from you.
Folks, did you know that Paul, almost wrote a comment a day last year? In all that time he didn’t touch a republican. Democrats, Hillary (is she still alive?) and poor Cuomo seemed to be targets. Isn’t there one feckless republican that earns your wrath, Paul? One administration misstep, that sends you copying scores of incomprehensible paragraphs into the Comment section?
Paul, how could I be a moron asking a question? Isn’t that how we learn by asking questions, seeking the truth? I could understand if you answered the question and I just kept right on asking the same one but I haven’t. That’s why we all come here isn’t it Paul to share our opinions, challenge one another, learn but how can we learn,if truth isn’t a foundation to all of this conversation?
In closing Paul, we your loyal readers need to understand are you an Independent voter, who doesn’t understand what it means to be an independent voter or possibly you’re a Republican but chose to be Independent because you don’t want to vote in all those elections, just the ones that count. (kinda shirking your duties as a citizen) How is it that an “Independent” only complains about democrats, especially when they aren’t in power? Are you saying that you align with this administration?
Curious minds want to know.
Paul Plante says
Then the place for curious minds to go, tokenny, is back to January 14, 2018, and the Cape Charles Mirror thread “Come Here…or Not!”
http://www.capecharlesmirror.com/news/come-here-or-not/ where surprise, surprise, we find you acting as the best defender endemic public corruption and the Republicans ever had, bar none.
Let’s take a look and see what it is we might see there, so we can ask you in return how come you went so far out of your way back then to defend the Republicans, to wit:
tkenny says @ January 19, 2018 at 9:20 pm:
Look at you go, Paulie.
Obama is a Marxist
Nuclear reactors are causing climate change
Rensselaer is a lawless, corrupt County in New York
Sonia Sotomayor is a corrupt Supreme Court Judge.
Don’t you sound like a stable person
end quotes
One sees you there, tokenny, puce with rage that I would dare to accuse the Republicans of corruption!
And then there is me on that same thread as folo9ows, attacking the Republicans who you are bending over backwards to defend, to wit:
Paul Plante says
January 20, 2018 at 12:15 pm
tkenny, dude, good to see you survived the recent ravages of the weather like our dear friend and fellow American patriot Chas Cornweller.
And yes, tkenny, Rensselaer County in New York state is a lawless, corrupt county in New York state that may well be one of the most corrupt counties in the nation.
To give you some essential background, consider New York State Penal Law § 460.00, which provides as follows:
Organized crime in New York state involves highly sophisticated, complex and widespread forms of criminal activity.
The diversified illegal conduct engaged in by organized crime, rooted in the illegal use of force, fraud, and corruption, constitutes a major drain upon the state’s economy, costs citizens and businesses of the state billions of dollars each year, and threatens the peace, security and general welfare of the people of the state.
The money and power derived by organized crime through its illegal enterprises and endeavors is increasingly being used to infiltrate and corrupt businesses, unions and other legitimate enterprises and to corrupt our democratic processes.
end quotes
That was in 1986, tkenny, and since then it has only gotten worse, to the point of where our s0-called “democratic” processes have become about totally corrupted, and that is thanks to judges like Sonia Sotmaypor.
As to the endemic public corruption in the Rensselaer County Department of Health itself, tkenny, in a March 27, 1989 Report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concerning a federal Hobbs Act investigation of corruption in the Rensselaer County (State of New York) Department of Health based on my testimony, which made me a marked man in Rensselaer County, it was stated as follows:
“According to (name deleted), the results of the State’s investigation were that New York State laws were not being followed by the Rensselaer County Health Department, Rensselaer County laws were not being followed by the Rensselaer County Health Department, and there was very little ‘enforcement activity’ even in the face of illegal sales.”
“(Name deleted) advised that the Rensselaer County Health Department’s oversight of realty subdivisions in that county is ‘unsatisfactory’!”
“(Name deleted) also faulted the State of New York Health Department for not auditing Rensselaer County’s program.”
“(Name deleted) advised that he would not expect to find a worse county in the region (the Capital District region which comprises 17 counties)!”
“According to (name deleted), the object of any county health department is to protect the public and not to facilitate development.”
“In the case of Rensselaer County, it appears that the Rensselaer County Health Department was in business to facilitate developers and development rather than to protect the public.”
end quote
Can your county match that record, tkenny?
So yes, tkenny, I am indeed quite stable here, and thank you for pointing that out to people in here, it is appreciated.
end quotes
And while I let that sink it, let me remind you, tokenny, as you try and fail to make people think or believe that I am a Republican, a real stupid notion given my real history of dealings with the corrupt Republicans, and their real dealings destroying my life in return, that there is much more on that subject yet to come, thanks to you and your efforts to defend the Republicans back in 2018.
tokenny says
Whoa, Paul, this isn’t about me it’s about you. Are you trying to tell us good folks here, that as an Independent you were only offended by the Republican party once, back in 1985?? But that really wasn’t a policy matter back then it was a employee/employer issue.
So, if I sit an ponder a moment, you’ve attacked all of these people and more:
Woodrow Wilson
Harry S. Truman
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jimmy Carter
Barack Obama
Michelle Obama
Joe Biden
Bernie Sanders
Bill de Blasio,
John Kerry
Hillary Clinton (heck the whole family)
Mario Cuomo
Chuck Schumer
Al Gore
Tim Kaine
Janet Napolitano
Nancy Pelosi
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Elizabeth Warren
Hmm, spot the Republican – trick question, there aren’t any! So, Paul , me thinks that you are playing to a audience. You see Stuart, is Stuart there is no mistaking his position. Ray isn’t an idiot he’s a conservative but you? You’re writing suggest a republican through and through no mistaking but you say you’re an Independent. Us Mirror readers aren’t the country bumpkins you think we are.
Paul Plante says
No, tokenny, this isn’t about me, at all!
This is very much about YOU!
Yes, tokenny – YOU!
It’s about YOU because YOU have made the American people who value their liberty and freedom of expression, an important HUMAN RIGHT in the United States of America that you are very much against, which has people not surprisingly sitting up and taking notice, wonder what the hell is wrong with the mind of tokenny.
So, on behalf of them, tokenny, what the hell is wrong with you?
You ask me this stupid question, as if anyone really cares, to wit: Are you trying to tell us good folks here, that as an Independent you were only offended by the Republican party once, back in 1985?
My answer is as follows: The Republican party, a fringe party, isn’t a function of my reality, tokenny.
I don’t support them, I don’t vote for them, I am unaware of any policies they might have, other than emulating them other fringe party, the Democrats, in looting our public treasuries and putting their hacks in office to eat out our substance while corrupting our government, as they did in Rensselaer County.
And you sound so ******* stupid, tokenny, as if you are insane, which may well be the case with your obsessing about me and what I post in here, when you mumble “(B)ut that really wasn’t a policy matter back then it was a employee/employer issue.”
Public Corruption by the Republicans was and is very much a policy issue, you ******* moron!
And I was put in there by Democrat Dr. David Axelrod in 1986, tokenny (you are such an idiot you don’t even have your dates right, which is a sign of how credible you are) to put an end to that ENDEMIC PUBLIC CORRUPTION!
I was no more an “employee” of Rensselaer County than is the Man in the Moon, and only a ******* moron like you would think that a licensed professional engineer detailed by the Public Health Commissioner of New York State to investigate ENDEMIC PUBLIC CORRUPTION in the Republican-controlled ****hole of Rensselaer County would be an employee of the corrupt entity.
As to being “Republican,” tokenny, I, Paul Plante, not my neighbor, not the person in front of me, or next to me, or behind me, pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, indivisible , with liberty and justice for ALL, even though in reality that does not apply to people like myself who are considered the enemies of the two ruling parties in this country, the Democrats and Republicans.
So, tokenny, as a Republican, what are your thoughts on the Democrats running the descendant of a notorious white slave owner as their vice presidential candidate?
Paul Plante says
THIS IS POLICY, tokenny:
As to the endemic public corruption in the Rensselaer County Department of Health itself, tkenny, in a March 27, 1989 Report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concerning a federal Hobbs Act investigation of corruption in the Rensselaer County (State of New York) Department of Health based on my testimony, which made me a marked man in Rensselaer County, it was stated as follows:
“According to (Dr. David Axelrod), the results of the State’s investigation were that New York State laws were not being followed by the Rensselaer County Health Department, Rensselaer County laws were not being followed by the Rensselaer County Health Department, and there was very little ‘enforcement activity’ even in the face of illegal sales.”
“(Dr. Axelrod) advised that the Rensselaer County Health Department’s oversight of realty subdivisions in that county is ‘unsatisfactory’!”
“(Dr. Axelrod) also faulted the State of New York Health Department for not auditing Rensselaer County’s program.”
“(Dr. Axelrod) advised that he would not expect to find a worse county in the region (the Capital District region which comprises 17 counties)!”
“According to (Dr. Axelrod), the object of any county health department is to protect the public and not to facilitate development.”
“In the case of Rensselaer County, it appears that the Rensselaer County Health Department was in business to facilitate developers and development rather than to protect the public.”
Paul Plante says
As for me, tokenny, I want a president who is the president for ALL the American people, not a president for the worthless Democrats, or a president for the equally worthless Republicans.
Tell us, O esteemed wise one, WHY are we ruled by minority parties in this country as if this were Iraq under Saddam Hussein and the minority Sunni Baathists?
Where do either the Democrats, who represent less than a third of the American people, or the Republicans, who represent even less, get the right to rule the majority of us?
What kind of screwy system is that?
As a Republican, tokenny, what response to that can you give us humble American citizens who would like to know why that is?

C’mon now. You KNOW I know the make up of our government right now.
The (R)’s have the exec. office and share power with the (D)’s in the legislature.
The Judicial is also pretty evenly split.
How that equates to your claim that Republicans are in charge is where we differ. I see a fairly even split with (R)’s having a slight edge where as you see Nazis behind every decision. Projection is a bitch.
But I guess I can at least be grateful you didn’t call me a f*uking idiot again, so we’re making progress.
tokenny says
The roar of laughter, caught my dogs unaware. You are submitting this “THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR January 24 2018” as an example that you also attack republicains in your writings.
Our reading comprehension must be more advanced than you thought. This isn’t about republicains, this is about how you lost your job. Trust me we ALL know the story without having to re-read it. Just because someone happens to be a Republican doesn’t make it a comment/attack on republican ideology.
You went back 2 years and only found this? Kinda pathetic isn’t it? A minimum of 365 comments written by you a year and you could only find this non-example. What gives, Paul? Playing to the audience?
Paul Plante says
HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HO HO HO HO HAR HAR HAR HAW HAW HAW GUFFAW GUFFAW GUFFAW!
Stop it, tokenny!
You’re slaying me!
This is just too ******* funny for words!
You truly belong on Comedy Central, and when you get there, we can all say we saw your act on the Cape Charles Mirror, first, which would in turn make us the nucleus or core of your fan club, so how about that, tokenny, as a bonus prize?
And tokenny, as to your other delusions that I am a member of the Republican party who crawls before Donald Trump in a posture of submission, which is all rank BULL****, there is no better proof that I can offer you that I am not a member of the Republican party, nor do I give aid or succor in any way, including with my votes, to the Republican party, by the way a minority party in the United States of America, a fringe really, given it only attracts less than a third of the American people, of which I am quite decidedly not one of, something you yourself know quite well given your vicious attack on me @ January 19, 2018 at 9:20 pm, as follows:
Look at you go, Paulie.
Obama is a Marxist
Nuclear reactors are causing climate change
Rensselaer is a lawless, corrupt County in New York
Sonia Sotomayor is a corrupt Supreme Court Judge.
Don’t you sound like a stable person
end quotes
There you are, tokenny, literally trying to rip out my A-Hole for not being a Republican or drinking their Kool-Aid, for which perceived “crimes” by yourself, you initiated a struggle session against me by publicly calling me out and demonizing me and excoriating the bejaysus out of myself back on January 19, 2018 for not being a Republican.
And playing to the audience?
My goodness, tokenny, of course we are!
Did you think we were only talking to each other in here in what is truly a world stage?
And while we are on the quality of my proof that I am not a Republican, and wouldn’t be, and the fact that I am truly independent, no better proof can I have but the court itself remarking on that very fact, to wit:
According to petitioner’s job description, he was to be accorded “considerable leeway * * * for the exercise of independent judgment in overseeing the operation of the Division of Environmental Health.
end quotes
If you weren’t a moron who loves the Republican party and Trump and so are blinded by your hate for those of us who aren’t, you would have realized before you made a real ass out of yourself on the world stage where you are most definitely an actor, that I can’t make independent judgments if I am not in fact independent.
And that, tokenny, is how I lost my job, a story you yourself know quite well, which takes us to a TROY RECORD editorial on 4 APRIL 1989 entitled “Give Paul Plante a break,” where we have the prime reason why I can’t be a Republican expressed quite clearly, to wit:
Trying to form an opinion on the entire Paul Plante episode is an exercise in frustration.
Some of those who were his sharpest critics back when he was giving developers a hard time are now trying to delude the public into thinking they are his staunchest defenders.
Some county officials who appeared to be among his defenders initially now sound as though they would just as soon be rid of him.
This much is pretty clear: He is headstrong, possesses a pretty good temper and is honest to a fault.
The latter has not been challenged even by his attackers.
As a matter of fact, that appears to be the bone they have to pick with him – that he is too honest and is unyielding in his honesty.
end quotes
There it is, people, I confess, there is the reason that I am barred from government service in New York state for the rest of my life, and tokenny is not only very well aware of this, but supportive of the discriminatory policy, as well – I was too honest for government service in New York state and Rensselaer County.
Again, tokenny, thanks for bringing all of that essential and relevant background that to our attention – it is appreciated!
Paul Plante says
You’re flailing around here in desperation, tokenny, and as a result, you are trying to change the rules again, as you always revert to when caught out as you are above in some malicious fibs, such as your scurrilous accusation that I am a Republican.
Clearly, as we can see from all the considerable evidence, not only am I not a Republican, but the Republicans hate my guts about as much as do the Democrats, and for the same reason, which is that I am an independent who thinks for himself and does not drink their Kool-Aid.
So I can’t tell people what it is like to be a Republican, tokenny; but I can tell them what it is like to be a victim of Republican retaliation.
How about you?
How does it feel for you to be a Republican, tokenny?
Does it make you feel good about yourself?
Does it make you feel all warm and squishy inside?
tokenny says
Flailing? Come on Paul, you haven’t yet answered the question. Why no sharp tongued commentary about any republicans? Here, we are the sum of our writings and yours adds up to being a republican. It’s either that or you just write to the crowd. The leader of this circus here at the Mirror. Is that it?
Remember when you paid accolades to Sorin for using his name and sticking up for what he believes in. How can we do that with you? How do the good readers of the Mirror go on reading your commentary without thinking “Did he write this to get a rise out of us or does he truly believe in what his writing?”
Paul, you don’t pass the Duck Test. I’m sure you know what that is – some abductive reasoning. “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.” For those of you who may not, allow me to quote from one of Paul’s leading authoritative sources – Wikipedia :
The test implies that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject’s habitual characteristics. It is sometimes used to counter abstruse arguments that something is not what it appears to be.
Paul Plante says
HARDY HAR HAR HAR! YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK! GUFFAW GUFFAW!
Stop it, tokenny!
Just stop it!
You’re making me laugh so hard I’ll pee right in my pants, I’m telling you, and that will be on your conscience, not mine!
You’re just too funny for your own skin and that is a natural fact, tokenny!
You were born to make people laugh!
As to your silly question, you silly man, you, that being “Did he write this to get a rise out of us or does he truly believe in what his writing?”, the answer is of course I did and of course I do.
Don’t you?
Paul Plante says
If anyone is truly interested in my real habit characteristics, simply go to the Cape Charles Mirror thread “What Kind of Caterpillar Smokes a Hookah? Does Anybody Know?” Special to the Cape Charles Mirror by Paul Plante on September 18, 2016, where my sentiments and disgust on the travesty called national politics in this country are candidly expressed, to wit:
http://www.capecharlesmirror.com/news/what-kind-of-caterpillar-smokes-a-hookah-does-anybody-know/
Paul Plante says September 19, 2016 at 5:18 pm:
With respect to the surreal and bizarre nature of this up-coming presidential election, for the first time in American political history, we have two candidates running for the imperial presidency on behalf of the two supposedly “major” political factions in this nation, both of which now represent a shrinking minority of voters in this country, and both candidates are highly disliked and reviled by a majority of voters in this country, as we are informed by the Washington Post on 31 August 2017, as follows:
* A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 41 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, while 56 percent have an unfavorable one.
* That’s the worst image Clinton has had in her quarter-century in national public life.
* Her previous low favorable rating this year was in July, when it was 42 percent, lower than any mark in historical Post-ABC polls except a few points in the 1990s when a large share of the public had no opinion of her.
* Her previous high for unfavorable views was in June, when 55 percent disliked Clinton.
* If it weren’t for Trump, in fact, Clinton would be the most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in modern American history.
* Perhaps most notably, Clinton’s image has declined significantly from just a month ago.
* Interestingly, Clinton’s numbers appear to have dropped since that early August poll mostly in groups that have been very supportive of her:
* Her favorable rating among women dropped from 54 percent to just 45 percent.
* Among Hispanics, it went from 71 percent to 55 percent.
* Among liberals, it went from 76 percent to 63 percent.
end quotes
According to NBC News on 13 September 2016, though a majority of voters say they have an unfavorable impression of Clinton (59 percent) and Trump (60 percent), the number of voters who say they have a strongly favorable opinion of Trump has increased by 4 points — from 12 points to 16 points — since the questions was last asked about a month ago.
Currently, 38 percent of registered voters now have a favorable impression of Trump.
Nearly an identical number — 39 percent — have a favorable impression of Clinton.
end quotes
And yet, they are what we are being dished up as our choices for president this year.
In a MARKETWATCH article by Caroline Baum on August 3, 2016, we are informed thusly about Hillary Clinton, who is reviled by a clear majority of American citizens, and with good reason, in my estimation:
Hillary Clinton has a long history of lying.
In fact, her first instinct, when confronted with some tawdry, quasi-illegal activity, is to dissemble.
In 1996, New York Times columnist William Safire called her “a congenital liar,” citing her comments about her cattle-trading windfall, her involvement in the firing of members of the White House Travel Office, and the missing Rose Law Firm files that miraculously reappeared.
Most recently, Clinton’s denials about sending classified information on her private email account housed on her private server were exposed as falsehoods by FBI Director James Comey.
Asked by Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” about Comey’s comments, the former secretary of state lied again, claiming Comey had called her statements “truthful.”
The Washington Post’s FactChecker awarded Clinton four Pinocchios, a rating reserved for the biggest whoppers, prompting the Atlantic’s Ron Fournier to write an article headlined, “Why Can’t Hillary Clinton Stop Lying?”
end quote
The question, however, is not so much one of why can’t Hillary Clinton stop lying as it is one of who in America in their right mind wants to have as their leader someone who can’t stop lying.
How low does one’s self-esteem have to be to want to live in a nation with a highly unpopular congenital liar who despises the majority of people in this country and dumps them into her “BASKET OF DEPLORABLES,” as if they were trash, as its chief executive officer and commander-in-chief of its military?
With respect to the question of Hillary Clinton’s veracity, in a NEWSMAX article by Brian Freeman on 07 August 2016, we are informed as follows with respect to Hillary Clinton’s claims about creating jobs in the United States of America, to wit:
Even though Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton touts her accomplishments at job creation as a New York senator, the actual results of her efforts are far from impressive, according to The Washington Post.
The paper conducted an in-depth review of her job-creation efforts while in the Senate, when she concentrated on trying to revive the economy in the depressed region of Upstate New York.
One of the major issues in the presidential election is expected to be who is most capable of running the economy and who has the best record of helping to stimulate growth.
In fact, First Post reported that during this past week of campaigning, Clinton said her economic plan for if she becomes president would create 10 million jobs, while that of Republican nominee Donald Trump would lose 3.5 million jobs, emphasizing that he is not offering “real change” but “empty promises.”
In her campaign for the Senate, Clinton also made grand promises, vowing to create 200,000 new jobs in Upstate New York, but the results fall well short of that, according to The Washington Post study.
Her attempts to pass major legislation to benefit the economy of her state failed and her smaller projects often were short-lived or did not work out at all, with overall job growth stagnate during her tenure, while manufacturing jobs plummeted 25 percent.
With that in mind, the most reliable figures are those from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which show that during her overall time as senator, upstate jobs rose only 0.2 percent overall, while manufacturing positions fell 24.1 percent.
Some of the new jobs, however, appeared to have been created by legislation that was introduced by a Republican senator and only included Clinton as one of 21 co-sponsors, the study shows.
end quote
In New York state, we know Hillary Clinton to be pro-repression when it comes to dissent against government corruption, and pro-government corruption when it comes to her policies.
We also know her to be quite a bit less than truthful, and thus are amazed that she is a leading contender for this highest government position in this land.
With respect to her dislike and disdain for the American people, and her broad-brush smears of the American people, who Hillary despises, in a NEWSMAX article dated September 16, 2016 by Mark Swanson, we are told:
Hillary Clinton on Friday slammed Donald Trump for being the standard bearer of the Obama birther movement, telling the audience that “he is feeding into the worst impulses, the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country.”
Clinton made the remarks at the Black Women’s Agenda 39th Annual Symposium in Washington, D.C.
end quote
“He is feeding into the worst impulses, the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country,” this from Hillary Clinton who stated publicly in April of 2016:
“If someone has white skin, they are a racist because of Implicit Bias, and we need community programs here in America to cure them.”
end quote
But of course, since she is Hillary, she is not feeding into the worst impulses, the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country, with that biased and highly prejudicial statement of hers as she panders for votes with it.
What crap say I.
In that same article, Hillary can be seen screeching as follows:
“For five years [Trump] has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president,” Clinton said in her speech.
“His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie.”
“There is no erasing it in history.”
“He is feeding into the worst impulses, the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country.”
“Barack Obama was born in America, plain and simple, and Donald Trump owes him and the American people an apology,” Clinton said.
end quote
Why does Donald Trump owe the American people an apology because Barack Obama was born in the United States of America?
What kind of lunatic logic can possibly support that statement?
And why should Trump have to apologize to Obama because Obama was born in the United States of America?
That makes absolutely no sense, either, and it is a sign that it is Hillary Clinton’s mental health we really should be concerned about, although to be truthful, there is nothing that bars someone with a questionable grasp on reality from running for and serving as American president.
“Imagine someone who distorts the truth to fit a very narrow view of the world,” Clinton said.
And yes, I can certainly can.
In fact, her name is Hillary Clinton.
And then Hillary says: “Imagine a president who he sees doesn’t look like him and doesn’t agree with him and thinks, that person must not be a real American.”
“Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States.”
end quote
Uh, okay, sure, Hillary, if you say so, but with respect to where Barack Obama’s ideas come from regardless of where Obama was born, Obama himself stated thusly in his African Union Speech in Ethiopia on July 28, 2015:
OBAMA: I also stand before you as the son of an African.
And Africa and its people have helped shape who I am and how I see the world.
end quotes
With that statement by Obama in the public record, as an American citizen, I see no reason why Trump, or anyone else for that matter, including Clinton herself, should not be questioning how Obama views the United States of America and its people, when his views on government are not based on our political history, but instead are derived from the tribal political history of Africa, a place not noted for political stability, while being noted for corruption and tribal violence and warfare.
With respect to the Republican and Democrat parties now being shrinking minorities in this country, we have from GALLUP in a January 11, 2016 story entitled “Democratic, Republican Identification Near Historical Lows” by Jeffrey M. Jones, as follows:
Story Highlights
• 42% identify as independents, 29% as Democrats, 26% as Republicans
• Independent identification at least 40% for fifth consecutive year
PRINCETON, N.J. — In 2015, for the fifth consecutive year, at least four in 10 U.S. adults identified as political independents.
The 42% identifying as independents in 2015 was down slightly from the record 43% in 2014.
This elevated percentage of political independents leaves Democratic (29%) and Republican (26%) identification at or near recent low points, with the modest Democratic advantage roughly where it has been over the past five years.
end quote
Despite the fact that they are both minorities in this country, they have provided us with our only two major presidential contenders.
What is wrong with that picture, people?
Why does the minority get to impose their views on the majority through the selection of who we get to vote on for president?
As to issues far more important to us as a nation than where Barack Obama might have been born, as if anyone even cares, according to a MARKETWATCH article by Jeffry Bartash on September 13, 2016:
The national debt has grown tremendously in the wake of the Great Recession owing to slower economic growth and tax revenues and higher government spending.
The total owed by the U.S. government has more than doubled to $19.5 trillion as of August from $9 trillion shortly before the onset of the Great Recession at the end of 2007.
The total debt surpassed the size of the U.S. economy in 2012 for the first time since the end of World War Two, according to a calculation by Haver Analytics.
Just 10 years ago, the debt was only two-thirds the size of annual economic growth.
end quote
What are either of these two highly-disliked, minority party presidential candidates going to do about that, besides keep increasing it by leaps and bounds without an end in sight?
Neither says, because neither knows.
In another MARKETWATCH article from September 8, 2016, we are told:
Outstanding consumer credit rose by a seasonally adjusted $17.7 billion in July, the Federal Reserve said Thursday.
Adding to the sense of strength, a slowdown in June was revised to reflect a rise.
The Fed’s data now show a $14.5 billion gain in June, up from the prior estimate of $12.3 billion, which was the slowest pace in almost four years.
Consumer credit rose at a 5.8% seasonally adjusted annual growth rate in July, a pickup from June’s upwardly revised 4.8% pace.
end quote
And in a MARKETWATCH article by Darrell Delamaide on September 16, 2016, it was reported as follows:
Personal finance website WalletHub reported that U.S. consumers added $34.4 billion of credit card debt in the second quarter of 2016 alone, equal to nearly half the overall total in 2015 and almost matching the $36 billion for all of 2012.
Credit card debt is likely to show a net increase of $80 billion in 2016, WalletHub forecasts, versus $71 billion in 2015 — pushing outstanding balances over the $1 trillion threshold for the first time and making the average household debt a “perilous” $8,500.
end quote
Do either candidate have any thoughts about all the debt?
The answer is, we don’t know.
Why don’t we know?
That answer is simple – because we have two highly disliked idiots running for president after being put in those roles by a minority of the American people who are too busy arguing and bickering over where Barack Obama was born to be worried about all that debt, if they even know it exists.
Incredible, say I.
And now, back to that caterpillar ….

Paul Plante says @ September 26, 2016 at 11:09 am:
Right-wing diatribes?
What right-wing diatribes?
Where are the right-wing diatribes in here?
I must have missed them, myself.
So that charge sounds like hooey to me, who am as far from the right-wing as possible.
For the record, I recently took a Pew political poll PEW POLL and not surprisingly, I scored as an independent, which is what I am, although I tended a touch toward the theoretical democrat side of the divide.
Actually, I would be called a centrist, not drinking the Kool-Aid either political fringe is serving up to the minority of people who still adhere to them because they are incapable of thinking for themselves.
And I tended more toward the 18-29 age group on my views, and away from the older people, who tended more towards conservative republican views, which would be considered the “right-wing.”
And I was more liberal than both men and women in average.
So, so much for “right-wing diatribes.”
As I said, that charge sounds like so much hooey and nothing else, a sandwich made of stale white bread with no filler of any kind in between other than thin air.

Check it out, tokenny!
The test doesn’t lie!
And what is with you immigrants, anyway?
You’re barely off the boat over here and there you already are, strutting around in your brown shirts with your hob-nailed jack boots on, with your knout or truncheon in your hand, calling yourselves “progressives” while trying to strip those of us who were born here as American citizens of our freedom of thought, also called freedom of conscience or ideas, which is the freedom of an individual to hold or consider a fact, viewpoint, or thought, independent of others’ viewpoints, which has you puce with rage that we have it, and regardless of the type of violence you might inflict on us, you can’t control us, and our freedom of expression, a fundamental human right that underpins most other rights and allows them to flourish.
The right to speak your mind, tokenny, or should it really be tovarish, freely on important issues in society, access information and hold the powers that be to account, plays a vital role in the healthy development process of any society.
If you don’t like it here where we have those freedoms and human rights, then why not make yourself ecstatic and giddy with glee by taking your jack boots and brown shirt and your truncheon back to the despotic ****hole you came from.

Say, anyone else beginning to think Paul and kenny are the same person?

“Ray isn’t an idiot he’s a conservative ”
Excuse me, that’s f*cking idiot to you, buster.
Actually, it’s f*cking idiot BY you, but that just doesn’t have the same comic timing.

“It’s going to be critical for him to work quickly to repair the damage that Shokin did,” Biden said in the
call. “And I’m a man of my word. And now that the new prosecutor general is in place, we’re ready to move
forward to signing that new $1 billion loan guarantee.”
Paul Plante says
What do you think of “Corn Pop” Biden picking the descendant of a notorious white slave owner as his running mate?
The Democrat party historically has been the party of the slave owner, not the slave, so would you say that they are simply acting out of character in this case?
Should it even make a difference that “Corn Pop’s” running mate is descended down from a notorious white slave owner?
We are a liberal people, afterall, so isn’t that something we should really overlook?
Sloppy Joe and KamalToe 2020 says
I’m Joe Biden’s husband. It’s great to be here in my basement. I accept your nomination to be a placeholder until I’m declared brain dead and removed from office so KamalToe the chameleon can take over and become your President and implement a far left agenda. KamalToe is just as bright and intelligent as any white woman. So if you lying dog faced pony soldiers don’t vote for me, you ain’t black! C’mon man! What am I, on cocaine or something? Unlike Trump, I can tell the difference between an elephant and a lion! C’mon man, let’s have a push up contest! I can’t wait to take Trump out behind the gym and beat him up! I promise if elected, I will make sure every kid in America has a record player they can play at night so they can hear voices in their head like me. After all, we’re all created by, you know, you know the thing. My time’s up. Vote for me, Joe 30330.
Paul Plante says
What a great acceptance speech!
On another note, I find it interesting to read in the news this morning that “Corn Pop” Biden has vowed to bring light to darkness here in the United States of America, as if he were Zarathustra come back to life to save us heathens, from well, something anyway we need saving from if “Corn Pop” is to truly live up to his pledge to actually bring light to darkness in America, a darkness created by Nancy Pelosi, Charley “Chuck” Schumer, the democrats and the Democratic Socialists who own Charley “Chuck” Schumer lock, stock and barrel, as opposed to merely being a hack politician like always and talking a good game, but never getting off the couch to get it in motion, and further, “Corn Pop” vowed to unite an America torn by crisis and contempt, which sounds very dramatic indeed, so kudos to his team of high-paid script writers for those choice sound bites, which choice sound bites by “Corn Pop” last night at his Democrat coming-out party where the Democrats were holding “Corn Pop” Biden out to the world as “presidential material,” which is a real stretch, take us to these choice sound bites by a steely-eyed, tough-talking, hard-hitting, kick’em in the balls and make them holler “Corn Pop” in a YouTube video entitled “Joe Biden Refers To Trump Supporters As ‘Dregs Of Society'” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_JQSbuMt0k where “Corn Pop” unleashed a vicious attack on supporters of President Donald Trump, his remarks coming of all places at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner at the Washington Convention Center on September 15, 2018, which is to say, when “Corn Pop” becomes president, any and all supporters of Trump who “Corn Pop” has already written off as the “dregs of society” can expect to find themselves without human rights, period, which takes us to an International Business Times article entitled “Joe Biden Refers To Trump Supporters As ‘Dregs Of Society'” on 17 September 2018, wherein was stated “(F)ormer Vice President Joe Biden unleashed a vicious attack on supporters of President Donald Trump,” and “(H)is remarks came at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner at the Washington Convention Center on September 15, where he added that Trump has been using the White House as a literal bully pulpit.”
So when “Corn Pop” vowed to unite an America torn by crisis and contempt, which does indeed sound very dramatic, so kudos again to his team of high-paid script writers for those choice sound bites, it is an America torn by his contempt for those people in America who do not drink his Kool-Aid, or the Kool-Aid of Hussein Obama, or the toxic Kool-Aid of the Democrat party, and thus, “Corn Pop” is vowing to fix what he by his words above has caused to be broken, which takes us a Daily Wire article entitled “Joe Biden Calls Trump Supporters ‘Virulent People,’ The ‘Dregs Of Society'” by Joseph Curl @josephcurl on September 17, 2018, to wit:
Joe Biden just had his “deplorables” moment.
Biden, who says he’ll decided in January whether to run for president in 2020 but who is making all the moves of a presidential candidate, used a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign annual dinner on Saturday to rip President Trump.
And in so doing, Biden had a moment reminiscent of Hillary Clinton, when she called Trump supporters “deplorables.”
Biden did his old act, starting off soft and avuncular before booming through his power points, punching the air and flailing about.
“Despite losing in the courts, and in the court of opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made,” he said.
“This time they — not you — have an ally in the White House.”
“This time they have an ally.”
“They’re a small percentage of the American people — virulent people, some of them the dregs of society.”
“And instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity, safety for all, the president uses the White House as the literal — literal — bully pulpit, callously — callously — exerting his power over those who have little or none.”
Biden got himself lathered up into a full froth as he waxed poetic about his and “Barack’s” thoughts on Trump.
“Barack and I agreed to remain silent for a while to give this administration the chance to get up and running in the first year,” Biden said.
“God forgive me,” he added, making the sign of the cross as the audience applauded.
“Those who try to excuse this kind of prejudice in the name of culture, I say, ‘Prejudice is prejudice and humanity is humanity — it is a crime,'” Biden said, urging those in the room to continue to oppose Trump.
“Our work is not yet done by any stretch of the imagination.”
“The stakes are much too high.”
And then he went even further. “This is deadly earnest, we are in a fight for America’s soul,” Biden said.
Biden’s wife, Jill, also got in on the act before introducing her husband.
“There is nothing that makes either of us more angry than a bully.”
“There’s nothing that’s more unfair or unjust than people using their power to try to make other people feel small, to tell them who they are or what they are capable of, to say their identity doesn’t belong,” she said.
“There is nothing that makes us want to pick a fight more than that,” she said.
Clinton used similar language when she called “half” of Trump’s supporters “deplorables” during the 2016 campaign.
“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said in September 2016.
“Right?”
“Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”
Now, Biden has done much the same.
And just as Biden began his speech, a few people in the crowd yelled “Run Joe!”
He replied: “Thank you.”
See you in 2020, Joe.
