"In the space of 3 minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role..." Excellent WaPo debunking of a Biden tale that keeps getting wilder: washingtonpost.com/politics/as-he…
Biden says he hasn’t read the Post article so “I don’t understand what they’re talking about,” but he got “the essence” and the “central point” of the medal story correct. (The article is about how he’s used many inaccurate details.) postandcourier.com/politics/biden…
Commenting to WaPo’s @CapehartJ, Biden declined to acknowledge anything wrong with his error-filled story. He said that it’s true that he gave a medal to a soldier who didn’t want it, so “I don’t know what the problem is. I mean, what is it that I said wrong?”

Joe Biden is repeatedly misrepresenting his past position on the Iraq War, falsely saying again this week that he was against it from the moment of the invasion. The long record shows that’s far from what happened. Story from @natemcdermott and @KFILE: cnn.com/2019/09/04/pol…
Biden now says he voted for the Iraq measure because he believed Bush when Bush said he needed the vote for diplomatic leverage. Back in 2003, Biden was open about how he’d voted to authorize military force, as he’d long said might be necessary.
Trump has made a very similar false claim, repeatedly saying — again last week — that he opposed the Iraq invasion from the beginning. Trump’s claim was also debunked by @KFILE, in his old job three years ago. buzzfeednews.com/article/andrew…

SIR ALERT cnn.com/2019/07/16/pol…
Two notes: 1) Like crying, Profuse Thanking often goes along with Sir. In this story, Debra Messing has taken the place of the big burly coal miner backstage. 2) This is a special Sir Story. Trump almost never explicitly notes the Sir. He usually just sneaks it in.
Great point. Sir-ers almost never have a name. This is a big day for Sir scholars.

Trump has called into Brian Kilmeade's Fox News Radio show. He says Florida will be totally ready for the hurricane, even though, "according to the folks over at weather," the state is going to be hit.
Trump says you have to judge his dealings with China on the "end product." He says China has been ripping off the United States "like babies." He says he was dealt many "bad hands," like with China and North Korea, but is going to win with every one.
Trump says China "plays a vicious game" by targeting US farmers, but he has "made up for it" with his $28 billion in aid. (Many farmers say that the aid doesn't make them whole or replace the long-term trading relationships Trump has damaged.)

After work, Shane took the trolley downtown, There was still a place or two down there he hadn't been banned from.
He was easily a block away when he saw the crowd, and heard the shouting.
#vss365
Assembled loosely on the corner was a group of well-dressed people. Some were holding signs, some were passing out literature. One fellow was saying something to people as they passed by, struggling to be heard over the traffic.
Protesters? Shane wondered.
#vss365
Too late, Shane realized one of the crowd was addressing him.
"Can I give you something to read?" The man pushed a small pamphlet into Shane's hand. He didn't seem angry at all.
"What are y'all protesting? What's this all about?"
