- "Pete Booty-Judge"?robotron3k
- robo, the child.tank02
- The announcer says "Pete Booty Judge" at 0:05robotron3k

- I like the guy. despite papa's leaningsGnash
- only candidate who has a chance up against TrumpKrassy
- The announcer in no way said "Pete Booty Judge" but small minded people will undoubtedly love the potential for the play on words and how that could reflectwordssssss
- his sexual orientation.wordssssss
- booty is universally awesome to all men... regardless of sexual orientationPonyBoy
- This guy will be debating Trump and make some smart, nuanced statement. Trump will be like, "he's gay and his name is Butt something?" Trump wins in landslide.yuekit

This shit makes my skin crawl. How does he get away with this? If that's what he's doing in public in front of cameras.... ugghhh

- do the DVs suggest that qoobs think this is not creepy?Gnash
- I think it's pretty easy to edit something together to make anyone look creepy. Also, still less creepy than orangeman. This is just a smear campaign.zarkonite
- trump is all kinds of disaster but he isn't creepy. I like biden, but I wouldn't let him babysitGnash
- @zarkonite. Your comments suggest you're a fellow peado********
- Creepy but not "Grab her by the pussy" creepy.fooler
- That's not editing. Look at it. You need auditing if you genuinely think there's nothing wrong with that behaviour********
- I don't know why I still get so utterly astonished when people have such a different opinion to me but... Wow********
- In my opinion this is a hundred thousand times more creepy than the grab her by the pussy comment. Wow.********
- Consider me officially fucking bamboozled in the brain by a few of you********
- why the downvotes?Krassy
- This video deserves a million downvotes********
- Either that or its the few peodos disagreeing with my comment haha********
- Or, just maybe, it's a 3rd category of people who simply don't view this as current politics, all things consideredmonospaced
- bizarre downvotes, creepy as fuck.fadein11
- set: all politicians are overly friendly with children, which can be edited to look creepy. It hadn't even occurred to me this was a pedo thing, goes to showzarkonite
- what's on your mind.zarkonite
- Hey, didn't Trump say he wanted to fuck his own daughter? Yup, pretty sure he did.zarkonite
- Jusus Christ, you guys.BonSeff
- Yea, zarconite, a little projection going on here.BonSeff
- This is a swearing in ceremony, all these folks are probably his family/extended family.BonSeff
- This is a total non-issue, if there was a problem we'd already have dozens of women coming forward. I'll change my mind when that happens.zarkonite
- It's not like anyone needed the wait for the trial verdict to know if Bill Cosby was a rapist.zarkonite
- I don't see dirty uncle joe wandering into a teen beauty pageant dressing room like some commander in chiefBonSeff

- step away from the 'pedo' crap... dude (biden) has creeped out a number of adult women in the past too... ... just toss the fucker-he's old and done anywayPonyBoy
- Trump's not creepy. He does his sexual assaults behind closed doors with no witnesses...much better.BusterBoy
- So vote the orange fucker out... but don't replace him w/Joe "hair sniffer' Biden ffs... trade one sick fuck for another, huh?PonyBoy
- Not a fan of Biden, but in the video I just see an old guy who is affectionate towards people -- to an awkward extent sure, but saying it proves he is ayuekit
- pedophile is bonkers. Plenty of other reasons to oppose Biden as nominee.yuekit
- The double standard applied to Democrats these days is ridiculous. If you're a right-winger, apparently you can run around acting like a lunatic, banging pornyuekit
- stars at golf tournaments while your wife is pregnant, telling preteen girls you'd like to date them, fly on Jeffrey Epstein's plane (all of which Trump did)yuekit
- and none of it is evidence of being weird or creepy according to comments above.yuekit
- this isn't a double standard by political party. its a male female power thing. media pandering junk (popular male vs female) for lack of better news********
- Clearly people see to label it weird and creepy, but no different than close talkers or those weirdos at airports who sit right next too you when plent of seat********
- s. The media needs to grow up and focus on policy. Rip Biden by his voting, any substance as a politician. Not this trivial high school "well i feel" shit.********
- Theres a scroobius pip line that If find so true. And if aware of you act differently, were as some people just don't see it.********
- Thou shalt not think any male over the age of thirty that plays with a child that is not their own is a paedophile; some people are just nice********
- I don't know why people are talking about trump and double standards. What the fuck has this got to do with trump?********
- It's like communicating with a different species********
- why are you posting anything about Biden at all?monospaced
- why are you posting using letters, mono********
- EH********
- I thought it was a valid question ... as valid as asking why anyone's comparing him to the current sitting president, which you quickly cut down as insane.monospaced
- What does this have to do with trump? Why can only one or the other be a creep lol?********
- I'm posting this to sprrad awareness of the scum that inhabits the upper echelons of politics********
- If you're utterly ignorant to the pedophilia and child trafficking that these 'elites' are involved in then maybe I'll give you a pass for not getting it********
- Even if you see utterly ignorant, this is still gross and inappropriate, at the very least.********
- First off, I'm not a pedo apologist. The very implication is insulting.monospaced
- In this day and age, a lot of politics is polarized, and Trump is at the center of that, so it's expected to receive some comparisons.monospaced
- I really was trying to address the downvote speculation, saying that possibly they're because this isn't relevant, JUST like Trump comparisons aren't.monospaced
- The ONLY argument I'm going to pose to your most recent statement is that I don't for a second think Biden is a child trafficking pedophile based on this.monospaced
- Haha not just based on this. Anyway, I never meant for a second to imply that you're a pedo apologist mono old boy, hahaha.********
- People above already declared Trump's behavior "not creepy"...that's what I was responding to.yuekit
- There are a lot of people (not you necessarily) who seem to think the government is filled with pedos and sex traffickers and also that Trump isyuekit
- going to uncover the whole thing. And they'll use videos like the one above as proof of this, while completely ignoring countless actions by Trump himselfyuekit
- that are just as bad or worse. I find that odd, that's all.yuekit
- could this perhaps just be a terrible news narrative on a slow news day? GND not clicks already subside. give the monkees a new banana to talk about.********
- not accused of doing anything illegal. all media formulae seems more like kavanaugh. perhaps political parties have learned how to weaponize, but the media know********
- s its a win win regardless. I actually had to look up to respond to this just now to see if i missed anything criminal because i dismissed all the media as********

@ukit
Back to the retirement stuff specifically and publicly funded care. How do you justify your desire for having that care paid for publicly for your parents/direct relatives so you don't have to deal with it? Is it one of those well others can take advantage of it too and will do so, so collectively it makes it normal and ok? I assume it's a very selfish motive you have. Which I understand and would have no problem with, but accept your selfishness fallout is forced on others as force. Even though u think your ideals are good for the people who dont' see it, its force.
I agree the same with you I want to not care for my ailing parents. Even though I'm one of three and the one who says as much, and I have full power of attorney. No idea why they chose me. Mention it as perspective. The problem which I think you are unapologetic for or even admit you understand, is your aims have so much collateral damage. Which you probably don't think about. And in all gov policy, and people, it usually is blocked vision of whom is stepping on whom. The damage comes in increased uncontrollable snowballing costs, taxes (direct and indirectly).
Your stance is correct that medical end of life care is a huge burden, but that is only because of the policies involved to alleviate that burden you don't want. And which in the age many policies were created was targeted toward the aging to alleviate burden on young ones while enjoying themselves. Funny how the marketing of policies change to current voters. Your medicare programs have ballooned health costs. Unlimited supply directed at care delaying death despite what we call living as any standard. A 80-90 year old might be a 5 million dollar billable client that lives in bed. That would never happen if it wasn't paid for collectively. Affordable burdens on families before our gov policies was far less burdensome. Plus the added perverse incentives of spending for elderly because of profit margins vs capital being put elsewhere. The collective money draws where the funding should go. Econ 101.
I don't think your ignorant of any of this... You just prefer it to not be true... You really want to have your cake and eat it too. And have any selfish desire unburdened by doubts and insecurities or funding. Prefer to float on the obama hope slogan vs the cruel reality. Are you a man who wants to live by hope but see reality with rational refusal (based on selfish desires), or blind just blind to it? Still not sure on that. There are those people who know theyre wrong but still go in the wrong direction. Are you one of those i guess is my question?
and for fun heres a milton friedman link about gov meddling
I find the economist and doctor make insightful points to early legislation which have only proven themselves true. Auto chic cant seem to grasp the idea that people can be free to choose the value of life over her idea of santuary of it. Again no gov collectivism is not much different than collectivism of bible. Same principle
- haha what...you are making this way too personal. I'm saying I think it's the best thing from the perspective of society overall to socialize the costs.yuekit
- True, in thee U.S. these programs are on an unsustainable path. But there are many other countries that have more socialized systems that pay lower costsyuekit
- and get better outcomes. So the idea that it can't work is not based in reality.yuekit
- Ultimately Milton Friedman is just one guy with an opinion. Good insights about some things maybe, but very ideological so he's always going to give the sameyuekit
- answer. I would prefer to look at what produces the best outcomes.yuekit
- Are you a man who wants to live by hope but see reality with rational refusal ... or blind just blind to it?monospaced
- When are you going to admit to and "accept your selfishness fallout is forced on others as force," yuekit?monospaced
- Good questinesyuekit
- because others have more stuff why cant i... its like a kids birthday party of different classes. other people have different cultures and different economies********
- its the bernie sanders praising venezuela. im all for you social systems that pay a lower cost. why i say open medicare and freeze it at its current percentage********
- of GDP. im sure the outcome won't be what you want. nor will it acknowledge the market forces that drive prices of end of life care up or culture. but it may********
- may help open peoples eyes since already medicare is larger portion of gdp than nations you mentioned********
- not about spending more liek bushs no child left behind but really understanding the gov systems and impacts on economy and human behavior********
- but if you want to look at what produces good outcomes. what are those? lets define those first and break it all down wether its really possible********
- the milton friedmans and hayeks were very socratic in knowing there own ignorance and to let markets decide. sometimes ideology is a good thing********
- haha and mono you forgot to quote the most important qualifying part "(based on selfish desires)". But good questions unanswered.********
- and back to ideology. why is it wrong if he always gives the same answer? it shows a strong fundamental understanding. people who flip flop on reasoning********
- are not a good thing... simply shows they have no ideology. which means no belief... i think its obvious he has an ideology, based on reason********
- and thats the difference, not what he wishes was ideal, but with a great understanding of economics and intuitiveness of human behavior********
- I just get this vibe that to accept the idea the possibility of a socialist utopia, or just more free shit, is not an option for you no matter the evidence********
- or it could also be the possibility that ppl are different. that you would love a chinese/norwegian system of central control providing basic stuff********
- but always at their whims. to me that is hell. i want independence and freedom. i want opportunity room to grow which means fail, means be broke. what is life********
- without strife, what does it mean to learn if you can exchange every turd for a pepperoni (tom robbins said it better)********
- if you are a person who is fully comfortable living under rule of thumb with promised benefits why try to force your creed on my types?********
- why does religion try to force rules upon gays. collectivism rule is always about domination of the minority or what they can get away with********
- me i side with individualism which is not dark age shit. but enlightenment period.... i guess basically if you prefer to live in a society that can socialize********
- shit you don't want it best to keep it free. voluntary. probably wont be successful but some voluntary collectives are. look at REI********
- i just think your logic is flawed or you're not being honest with intentions. do we need a dictator for social ends or voluntary?********
- and on a side note.. look at social media. has it been beneficial or has it helped reduce discourse to beating of chest and peacock feathers********
- has things become derivative and boring. a large socialism network or any group is not really different than a monopoly. a monopoly never really created outside********
- gov control, because market forces are solid in democratizing what people want far better than voting********
- thinking more about types of people. in all human history all grievances are probably derived of 2 binary types of people. create wars and chaos********
- those comfortable with chaos and no control and those who want dominion over everything if its only in their heads. individualists vs collectivists. many fall********
- into mid sections and choose blindly outside any reason of why. usually hope they can mask greed for greater good. but maybe evolution has evolved that way********
- to challenge and cycle. why our republic is geared to weather the storms of mob rule and and have a balance of power.********

Long distance dedication to Biden's Campaign.
- plash1
i'm impressed with this guy.- he looks like his balls just droppedBonSeff
- "Former mayor?" He's STILL the mayor right now. I'm really intrigued by him, more so than any candidate right now.mg33
- Countdown to the day that someone as articulate as this burns Trump with a live debate comeback or quip rendering him speechless - can't wait...whatthefunk
- He seems like a perfectly normal guy that can actually relate to normal people. I do keep wondering "are certain people going to vote for a gay man to be pres"mg33
- ... and then I realize, those people were never going to vote for a democrat anyways. So if he can appeal to moderates and the undecided who don't care thatmg33
- he's gay and like his policies and relatability, he seems like a fantastic candidate.mg33
- I also like to think that he can be tactically sarcastic in a debate with Trump, and constantly pivot away from Trump's bluster and BSmg33
- in a way that frustrates Trump to the max, because Pete eloquently makes him look like a child, and pivots immediately to real issues.mg33
- ^ That's like my #1 fantasy right now, just watching him politely mop the floor with Trump's ignorant bullshit and incessant lying. Trump would implode oncemg33
- he realizes he looks like a complete fool, and that guy's not taking the bait.mg33
- ^ i agree. lets hope the grievance-archeologi... don't find much in his past to hang him withGnash
- * archeologistsGnash
- Hold on... He has to battle Bernie, Biden, Beto, etc... I don't think he'll last through that onslaught. Seriously, have you seen his husband??robotron3k
- He def going to make the old boys at Harvard quite proud...robotron3k
- He seems like the smartest and most authentic in the field now. What about his husband Robobigot?mathinc
- is it possible that this man is a bigger threat to robo's sensibility than a strong woman?monospaced
- why do we still feed the troll?fadein11
- Is all we want a smooth talker? Someone name one policy he stands for...yuekit
- in the few interviews I've heard with him he's yet to say something really stupid. I can't say that for any other candidate to date.Gnash
- that's enough for nowGnash
- I'm actually kind of sick of listening to the president talk on TV after Trump. Would prefer someone who has a strong policy agenda.yuekit
- If the argument is that he would be a good candidate against Trump I can buy that. But in terms of saying "I want this guy as president", I'm a little baffledyuekit
- at how people reach that conclusion based only on personality.yuekit
- oh, and Yang, I forgot about him. I like him, tooGnash

Michael Cohen offers Democrats new evidence against Trump in bid to delay prison

Turns out he's just weird and it has nothing to do with women.

Pete Buttigieg please.
- Only dude among the dem candidates who has a tiny chance up against Trump. But Trump will win, still.Krassy
- Why?yuekit
- If Trump was invincible maybe his party wouldn't have lost the House in the biggest landslide since the 1970s.yuekit
- Trump is NOT the Republican party and the 2 have little in common, especially when it comes to campaigns and elections. No real comparison.Krassy
- Trump will win again. Unless someone unorthodox (like Buttigieg) steps up to the plate to challenge him.Krassy
- Lol...he's literally the leader of the party. There is very strong correlation between popularity of the president and how their party does in the midterms.yuekit
- He COULD win again, but saying he's a shoo in or that the midterm wipeout had nothing to do with him is silly.yuekit
- In particular, women voters turned out during the midterms in large numbers to vote against Republicans, because of Trump.yuekit
- Lol...he's literally an outsider who was elected president and the Republican party had nothing in common with him and had no idea what to do (still doesn't)Krassy
- Trump gets re-elected. Wanna bet $5 on it?Krassy
- He was an outsider and the party is now associated with him, after him leading it for over two years. Kind of stating the obvious here.yuekit
- People are always overinterpreting the last result. Before it was "Trump is never gonna win", now some people seem to think he is invicible just because he wonyuekit
- Sounds like you're stating the obvious :)Krassy
- So? $5?Krassy
- last time.yuekit
- $5?Krassy
- put yo $ where your keyboard isKrassy
- I'm not going to throw away an entire 5 dollars on a pointless bet, sorry ;)yuekit
- Just noting that your opinion seems to be that Trump is def going to win AND also that the gay mayor of a small town, whose name includes the word "butt" canyuekit
- beat him lol.yuekit
- My point is, that the Dems need to think outside the box and drop the conventional style politics in order to go up against Trump.Krassy
- Someone like Buttigieg looks promising in that regard. All others who've announced running look like they have little to no chance standing up to TrumpKrassy
- I agree with first part of what you said...not so sure about second part. Trump is outsider but also unpopular. Being an outsider does not mean automatic win.yuekit
- Who of the Dem runners do you think should be the nominee?Krassy
- I feel like I need to watch the campaign play out to see who would be the strongest candidate against Trump.yuekit
- wordKrassy
- So far I like Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders. But like many people, I will show up to vote regardless of who the nominee is, simply to vote against Trump.yuekit
- I can't stand Trump.
But I also can't stand most of the Dem candidates.
:)Krassy
