Rudy, your appointment for tire track massage is scheduled for 9am.

President Donald Trump appeared to hang his personal lawyer out to dry in an interview with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday night, insisting that Rudy Giuliani's push for a Biden investigation in Ukraine was not done on his behalf and noting that Giuliani has “other clients.”
Asked point-blank if Giuliani was acting on his behalf in trying to dig up dirt on former vice president Joe Biden—an issue now at the heart of an impeachment inquiry—Trump said, “No, I didn’t direct him, but he is a warrior, he is a warrior.”
When asked what Giuliani was doing in Ukraine, Trump deflected and told the ex-Fox anchor that he would “have to ask that to Rudy.”
“I know that he was going to go to Ukraine and I think he cancelled the trip. But Rudy has other clients, other than me. He’s done a lot of work in Ukraine over the years,” the president continued.

This after his transcript said to work with Rudy lmao.

Reminiscent of when he was asked about Michael Cohen making payments to the porn star on AF1.

He's so obvious when he lies.

For Troy

Who left the scooter right there?

I wonder what crack is a gateway to.

Thanks for staying on top of that Hunter Biden beat, Freddy.

Wow, egg on burisma’s face.

Can’t believe they put such a schlep on the board.

Buttigieg rockets by Warren for second place in the newest Quinnipiac national poll. So Biden and Buttigieg 1-2 at the moment.

I saw an "article" yesterday on The Root titled "Pete Buttigieg is a lying MF". There are several layers as to why black voters largely do not like him, but the gay factor would really hurt him and drive black voters towards Trump, IMO.

Is there a reason why black voters are popular with an old white guy versus a young progressive one?

Probably helps that he was vp to the only black president in USA history.

Yeah, I read that article. Basically someone calling him out because I’m 2011 he said an issue with the educational system is that kids in lower income minority neighborhoods don’t succeed as much because they don’t see others like them succeeding. Doesn’t really seem like a controversial statement.

If he were somehow get the nomination (and I don’t think he will), I assume he’d have a black vp.

Biden is also the establishment Candidate. Black voters are big establishment backers in the dem primary.

This is true. But seriously, do not underestimate black disapproval of homosexuality. In general, there is far less tolerance to that in the black community. I do think that is a major factor.

[Troy Loney]

It’s a machismo thing, And I also believe that black women vote in far higher proportions then black men. So while mayor Pete is not going to appeal to homophobics, that’s not the reason he has no traction at this point

They might sit it out, but there is no way that any significant number of black Dem voters are going to be driven towards Trump.

I think black women are also more religious than the average Dem voter, which may be part of it.

Did the self proclaimed “last real negus alive” clear things up?

Women are overrepresented in religious groups generally speaking anyway, but having led worship in many black churches it is even more pronounced in that community for whatever reason.

ICE created a fake University, recruited foreign-born students to attend, then deported them because the school was fake and therefore their visas weren't valid.
