Lucy Flores.. the up side

Just thinking about how the oppo people on the right, had been working on videos of Uncle Joe.. it was an issue we would deal with..I mean really.. Trump.. I was never worried about.. just aware of it.. Then Ms Flores brought forth her accusations of space violation.. and she may have felt that way, but even she admitted after saying she wanted VP Biden not to run that is was not a sexual thing..

Here is the upside.. Ms Flores has been on the news.. even dragging Carter into it.. so sorry about that.. but the VP's people have handled perfectly by letting it come to the surface.. letting it be.. and addressing it head on

The oppo research is going to fall flat.. after this.. (Kelly Anne Conway really got herself caught in it).. so even though its a headache.. its good to get it cleared up now.. and expose the oppo people..

It will go on for a few more days I am sure.. but pretty quick here we can get back to vetting our people.. and by the way.. Congrats to Mayor Bettigeig.. 7 million.. WTG!!

Edit to add.. I have always been blessed with my glass half full..never half empty.. before you ask

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

And that it has brought up the issue to discuss so that an Al Franken situation does not happen again.
Congrats to Mayor Pete also!

Funny the GOP don't find that creepy and make compilations

Or Trump's links to Epstein (lawsuit)

Or Trump's two dozen sexual misconduct allegations

Or Trump walking in on beauty pageant contestants changing

Or Trump banging a pornstar while his wife was pregnant

Or Trump saying he'd date his daughter

Or Trump saying he wanted to abort the other

Or Trump saying to grab them by the pussy

The party of hypocrisy
