Not a good night to be Joe

shredder

Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "The Ripper" went up earlier tonight.

What's a heckler?

This FOX NEWS story tells us that, earlier today, Joe Biden was heckled at a New Hampshire event.  It doesn't tell us one work the supposed heckler said.

Why not?

That's part of the story.

And how do we know it's a heckler.  It's a campaign event, open to the public.  It may just be a voter with serious concerns.  Why not let us decide?

More to the point, I'm not impressed that Jill Biden took it upon herself to silence the citizen.

It's not a good night for Joe Biden.

Joe Biden confuses Nevada with New Hampshire & they’ve only been to two states so far.

And worse.


BREAKING: In New Hampshire Democratic primary, Joe Biden and Sen. Warren will not reach the 15% threshold statewide and in each congressional district, according to the Decision Desk, meaning they will not receive delegates from the .





Closing with C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"

Tuesday, February 11, 2020.  In the US, the first primary takes place.


Today, in the US, Americans hope for some clarity on where the electorate is leaning for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.  New Hampshire holds the first primary in the nation. 

Some background.  In 2016, Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire.  Hillary went on to the get the nomination and she carried the stated in the general election,  In 2012, President Barack Obama won New Hampshire, won the nomination and carried the state in the general election.  In 2008, Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary but Barack Obama won the nomination and later carried the state.  In 2004, they went with John Kerry who went on to become the party's presidential nominee.  Kerry also carried the state in the general election.  In 2000, Al Gore won the primary and he went on to win the nomination.  Bully Boy Bush carried the state in the 2000 general election.  In 1996, President Bill Clinton won the primary and won the nomination and carried the state in the general election.  In 1992, Paul Tsongas won the primary but Bill Clinton ended up with the nomination and Bill carried the state in the general election.

We review that for a baseline, yes, but also because some press outlets just flat out lie.

For example, in an unsigned piece at POLITICO from last November, this lie was published: "In 2016, Clinton won New Hampshire by less than 1 point."  Hillary did not carry New Hampshire.  What a lie and what an embarrassment for POLITICO.  From WIKIPEDIA: "The 2016 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary took place on February 9. As per tradition, it was the first primary and second nominating contest overall to take place in the cycle. Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in the primary by a margin of more than 22% in the popular vote. Sanders claimed 15 delegates to Clinton's 9.[1]"

When people talk about how the corporate media is out to get Bernie and how they're out to deny him any victory, that's what they're talking about.  An article lying about Bernie losing New Hampshire to Hillary is exactly what they're talking about.


Who's on the ballot this go round?  Pretty much everyone. 


WIKIPEDIA notes the following made the ballot:



Iowa blew its chance to have any real influence.  Tonight, New Hampshire has a shot.  What's the media saying?

Listening to CNN right now already saying that it’s not enough for to just win New Hampshire. I’m sorry but these people are delusional. He doesn’t need to radically change the dynamics of the race. If things hold as they are he will win.
 
 


Good morning New Hampshire!!! Go vote for Bernie Sanders!!! As said last night we are at a crossroads in our democracy. Take the path towards justice and compassion.

  • In Iraq, the protests continue and the protesters continue to be attacked.


    Replying to 
    These crimes in Iraq, where are the human rights, where is the UN representative? 🇮🇶🇮🇶
     
     



    Former movement leader Moqtada al-Sadr has let his militia attack the protesters.  He's also called for segregated protests -- segregated by gender.



    Iraq - protests about gender-mixing ban

    Iraqis laugh at his notions.

    And they look at him and wonder, as he flees to Iran constantly, what kind of marriage does he have?

    The 45-year-old took part in an arranged marriage in 1995.  He's rarely in the same city as his wife and they have no children.  I guess that's the sort of segregation Moqtada practices in his marriage.  Maybe he doesn't like women?  That would explain a 25 year marriage that has produced no children.

    Replying to 
    Muqtada al-Sadr should be included in the list of terrorism, because he sends signals to his followers on Twitter to kill civilians, killing more than 15 civilians only for his three tweets. We hope to close his account on Twitter as well, because he is a terrorist.
     
     


    Protesters who claim they were threatened and tortured by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s armed militiamen in Baghdad are fleeing to Erbil to avoid being jailed under Iraq’s counterterrorism law.
