Excuse me Damon Linker, Democrats actually colluded with Ukraine to dig up dirt on their political rival Donald Trump in 2016, so spare me the handwringing about Trump trying to expose it
But over the past several months, the wheels have come off the Trump
administration. Whether that's because responsible grown-ups resigned
and were replaced by partisan hacks or because staffers have been ground
down by struggling to contain an ignorant and angry president for
months and years at a time is something that presidential historians
will try to answer once all of this is behind us. What's clear in the
present is that by this past summer, Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy
Giuliani set out to warp and subvert American foreign policy, turning it
into an arm of the president's conspiracy-addled re-election campaign.
The plan was to force a vastly weaker foreign government into colluding
with the campaign for the purpose of digging up dirt on the president's
political rival.
The rest of his bilge is here.

Matt Taibbi: Hillary is nuts and Election 2016 was almost entirely a domestic story
Well, not quite: Ukraine did help the Democrats get rid of Manafort.

But yeah, she's nuts all right, along with a lot of other people.

Joe Biden has been lying for a decade that a drunk driver killed his first wife and child
Police determined that Biden’s first wife drove into the path of
Dunn’s tractor-trailer, possibly because her head was turned and
she didn’t see the oncoming truck. Dunn, who overturned his rig while swerving to avoid a
collision, ran to the wrecked car and was the first to render
assistance. Police filed no charges against Dunn, who at that time lived in
North East, Md. with his wife, Ruby, and their seven children. Biden has been alluding to alcohol being involved in the crash
for nearly a decade. During a speech in 2001, Biden told an
audience at University of Delaware that a drunken driver crashed
into his family. He told a similar story during a public appearance in 2007. More recently, the vice presidential candidate’s
misrepresentation of Dunn has found its way into major newspapers,
including the New York Times. It also has been repeated on radio and on television by major
news journalists, including CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric.
At least he didn't say she was killed because she was pregnant.
