ALYSSA MILANO HAS FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE MORE STUPID THAN SHE IS.
Alyssa Milano Retweeted
Hey Republican Twitter. This is Erin Brockovich. She didn't see the utility poison the water first hand, but she gathered information, and busted the corruption wide open.
So can we just get rid of the "second hand can't be a whistleblower" talking point?

YOU REALLY DO NEED TO HAVE FIRST HAND INFORMATION TO BE A WHISTLE BLOWER BUT, MORE TO THE POINT, ERIN BROKAVICH WASN'T A WHISTLE BLOWER AND NO ONE WITH HALF A BRAIN HAS EVER CLAIMED SHE WAS.
CHUCK EBERSOL WAS A WHISTLE BLOWER AND IS THE ONE WHO TOLD ERIN ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS THAT PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC WAS TRYING TO DESTROY.
ACTUALLY, RONALD KLAIN MAY NOT BE MORE STUPID THAN ALYSSA MILANO -- ALYSSA RETWEETED HIM. AS AN ACTRESS -- EVEN A FAILED ONE -- SHE SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH AN ACTRESS' OSCAR WINNING PERFORMANCE AND THE FILM IT CAME FROM. THEN AGAIN, KNOWING ALYSSA, SHE PROBABLY ONLY 'SCREENS' HER OWN WORK -- FORCING ALL OF HER GUESTS TO WATCH 30 YEAR OLD EPISODES OF 'WHO'S THE BOSS.'
FROM THE TCI WIRE:
In the United States, the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination continues. Jim Newall (SLATE) notes:
While most of the news focus this week pertained to certain goings-on in the House of Representatives—goings-on that of course Elizabeth Warren was the first candidate to call for, in April—Warren has started to take Joe Biden’s lead. She led Biden narrowly, for the first time, in two national polls released this week, and she has taken the lead in the Iowa polling average as well. She took the lead in a New Hampshire poll. She is nearing the lead in Nevada. She is drawing healthy shares from supporters of both Clinton and Sanders in the 2016 primary contest. She is starting to see some movement among black voters. Democrats are the most enthusiastic about her candidacy. There is … nothing going wrong right now? Nothing! This newsletter likes to make jokes about how politicians are failing at politics, and she’s just not giving us anything.
So while Elizabeth is up, Joe is down, dragged down by his own actions. Over at US NEWS AND WORLD REPORTS, Susan Milligan speaks with University of New Hampshire's Dante Scala:
Biden, in
fact, might have some vulnerability on the Ukraine matter with voters,
Scala says, because voters might wonder how and why the younger Biden
went to work for a Ukrainian firm while his father was in the White
House.
"It's not a great look, even though there's not any evidence of wrongdoing," Scala says.
There is absolutely the evidence of wrong doing.
This lowering of our standards is how we end up with presidents unfit to serve.
Joe Biden's son Hunter gets employed by a firm and that's the wrong doing. Yes, Hunter needed a job. Three months prior the US military had kicked him out of the reserves because of his use of cocaine. They should have referred it over to a court, he should have been arrested. Instead, they just kicked him out. Three months later, with no experience to speak of, he's brought on and paid $50,000 a month.
That is unethical. And his father at the time was vice president. Joe then has interactions with the government of Ukraine. That is unethical.
Hunter never should have taken the job to begin with. Once he did, Joe should have been removed from any and all dealings with Ukraine.
It is unethical. And as vice president, Joe insisting, "I didn't do anything wrong," isn't enough. Joe has to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. He was the Vice President. He has to be held to a higher standard while in that office.
Mike Allen, Margaret Talev, Alexi McCammond (AXIOS) note:
It was Joe Biden’s family that almost kept him from running. Now, it could help drag him down.
Why it matters: The former vice president has to answer questions about family controversies just as Elizabeth Warren is catching him in the polls.
No, wrong doing? Corruption in office is wrong doing. There is ample public knowledge that suggest wrong doing without any investigation.
Joe did not do his job as vice president because that job included avoiding even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Joe did not do his job.
His actions look smarmy, his actions appear unethical. And that's without any probe taking place.
