Oops, He Did It Again: Parts Of Biden’s Green Plan Borrowed Word-For-Word–Without Attribution. Hey, when ya gotta come up with a plan in a hurry about something you’ve never thought about, proper citations are often the first thing to go. So much for learning from your mistakes.
Rethugs Demand Disaster Relief–Vote Against Disaster Relief Bill. My guess as to why?: Puerto Rico.
How Oakland Has Significantly Reduced Gun Violence. It’s not as long as the Mueller Report. Lotsa great ideas that have worked.
Payday Lenders Partied At Trump Resort While Administration Gutted Obama Reforms. There’s nothing that’s not for sale, certainly not the ability to rip off the poor.
The Donald-Marla Pre-Nup: Yep, he ripped her off. Totally.
What do you want to talk about?
Re: the pre-nup. If Marla Maples were any dumber people would have to water and fertilize her regularly.
She would have done much better to stay single and simply sue the bastard for child support.
Apparently Trump got bored with her. Wasn’t fertilizing her regularly.
He never intended to marry her. She got pregnant. So I guess he over-fertilized.
Re: Biden doing it again. He also joked again about his creepiness:

This guy really gets it.
Say, what’s Al Franken doing these days?
Funny you should ask. Kirsten “1%” Gillibrand got in a tiff with Mayor Pete the other day when he said he wouldn’t have applied so much pressure on Al Franken to resign.

Gillibrand is the worst sort of politician. She called for Franken’s resignation because she perceived some political advantage in doing so — the evidence is her campaign, which is all about “empowering women” — but she can’t accept the blowback.
Gillibrand? Jumped on that bandwagon too soon! Won’t have my vote
Our maybe the bandwagon is right and timely & it should run over Creepy Joe?

DD over at Blue Delaware cites a CNN poll showing Biden’s support dropping from 39% to 32% among D primary voters. I think that’s pretty significant in that it demonstrates just how mile-wide and inch-deep his support is:

32%? Something tells me he’ll be hemorrhaging a lot more support after this:
