He keeps explaining, and she keeps repeating the dumb question.

I believe him - not because I want him to be my next president, but because he is believable, and he proved that this morning.

And of course there could be lots of leaks from any such search, including fake news about the records, which couldn't be refuted without releasing all of them.

(10,274 posts)There's no proof that Scarborough had anything to do with it, but since Trump accused Joe of her murder, it must be investigated thoroughly.

(10,274 posts)Moulitsas said Scarborough was inflating the story about then Democratic Congressman Gary Condit and Chandra Levy, his missing and murdered intern. Moulitsas tweeted, Like story of a certain dead intern, a reference to the death of Scarboroughs staffer, Lori Klausutis, in 2001, when Scarborough was still in Congress.
Scarborough responded, "Unbelievable. You have a long history of spreading lies suggesting I am a murderer. This is the 3rd or 4th time by my count. Moulitsas replied, Ive never suggested youre a murderer. Ive noted media hypocrisy in going after [Congressman] Gary Condit [whose intern, Chandra Levy, was murdered in 2001]. But he was Dem. You arent.

(5,969 posts)that isn't there by playing investigative journalists. And although they've been anti-Trump, they've played their part in getting Trump nominated as I think they were some of his biggest cheerleaders and amplified his message. The mainstrem repubs and Fox as well, I think, didn't want Trump at all.

(10,014 posts)cracking voice and teary eyed look, Biden did well and stood firm.
Mika is no journalist, shes all about looking adoringly at screaming Joe Scar and selling her fake supporting women books. Her attack on Biden, and it was an attack, is all about self-promotion.
Biden knows the rules of being interviewed - dont let the questions fluster you and make sure you say what you want to say and not what the interviewer wants you to say. He does that well.
Biden was not my first or even third choice but he is handling the Joe Scar interview very well and ending strong.

(70 posts)Mika's always been a bit of a weirdo on the show. Joe/the show always tried to brand her as The Democrat, but that was more of a marketing thing. She was a huuuuge fan of Palin in 2008, and that was all I ever needed to know regarding her judgement. They also tried to brand her as The Serious Journalist, but it didn't take long for me of watching from 2007-2010 to see that Mika wasn't quite a bright bulb.

Mark my words: "what's in the records at Delaware" is going to be the new "what's in the emails?"
Regardless of whether there's a "there" there, we live in a climate where suspicion can be easily weaponized. See: Clinton, Hillary.
It's actually *not* inevitable. Know what could prevent it? Reporters could choose not to take the bait of bad faith critiques and actually learn a lesson from 2016.
Also remind me where Trump's tax returns are again?

Lots of comments on how dastardly Mika was but not so much on how Biden was doing.
sop
(10,274 posts)the accusation...repeatedly. Joe clearly stated all accusations of sexual abuse should be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. Mika tried every way possible to find some hole in his denial and failed.
The "Delaware" thing is nonsense, but Trump will be tweeting about it any time now. I believe Trump should also agree to answer questions about all thirty of his own accusers. His next virus briefing would be a good place to start asking such questions right after he brings up the Reade accusation, which he will.

(7,425 posts)I'm glad. But ya were irritated enough to respond!
But my point is that if Joe is going to address this at all, then might as well rip the bandaid off and have some one press hard so ya just have to do it once.
My only criticism is that maybe he should let someone look through the Senate records. The question is who?

(61,707 posts)spoons and forks in the bathroom. You don't look for baby formula in cement mixers. You don't look for Joe's music CDs and downloads in the sink garbage disposal (okay, maybe you should). And you don't look for personnel files in archives containing political records. Why is that so hard to understand? Why is it so hard to understand that JB doesn't want his professional records involving decisions, positions, the president, etc be taken and exploited out of context?
