I'm thinking it might be Warren rather than Joe but either way we are certainly in an upside-down world where Biden is supposed to be dodgy alongside the admitted serial sexual abuser who actually has the job now.

It's absolute lunacy.

Underhand - acting or done in a secret or dishonest way

Skullduggery - underhand, unscrupulous, or dishonest behaviour or activities

Nope, neither of those things. Trumps call to the Ukrainian president though fits your words perfectly.

I assume 'hutchst' was doing a bit of Sunday trolling, but if not, it's amazing to think that there are people out there who are actually as misguided as this.

Bloomberg joins the race.

“Billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has signalled he will join the race to secure the Democratic Party's nomination for US president.”

Great, another billionaire who wont change a god damn thing for the average AMerican. Wonder what he will do about Trump's tax cuts ofr the 1%? Nothing I bet!
Still,might split the Biden vote and make it easier for a progressive candidate

Possibly (hopefully!) the next election, assuming Trump doesn't nuke the world first

I wish I could find it again, but I read an article in the last couple of months which said basically this.

It made the point that the republicans are essentially crap at coming up with new ides or being the first adopting them, but if they see them work, they run with them and turn them up to 11.
It quoted three examples, two of which I forget, much to my annoyance, but the third was the democrat use of facebook in the 2012 election, and the republican all out use of cambridge analytica in 2016 as a response.
The thinking points were Kavanaugh and impeachment, and 'do you really expect the republicans not to weaponize this'?

You can argue as much as you'd like over who is to blame, but the next democrat president will likely face impeachment as a matter of course.

And as we are seeing that's a toothless process.

Turning out to be a farcical setup by the Dems that should see Trump re-elected.


If it wasn't so serious it would be funny.

Not according to the constitutional expert that was the dems star witness, he said the oresident is not impeached until the report reaches the senate, something the dems seem reluctant to do in case a fair trial highlights their own shady goings on.
