Human treatments will ultimately involve isolating the active factors from young plasma and administering them as a drug, probably. Though possibly the young plasma’s benefit is that it lacks pro-aging factors that the old plasma contains. In that case, perhaps some sort of filtration or blocking agent. Stay tuned!

OH: What Is He Hiding? Joe Biden Dodges Questions About His Complicity in Abuses Against Mike Flynn.

WELL, HE DENIED THE TARA READE THING TOO, BUT NOT AS FAST: Joe Biden Denies He Was Involved In Michael Flynn Probe.

BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH FLYNN QUESTIONS ON ABC, BARELY ASKED ABOUT READE:

After the first couple questions focused on the response to the coronavirus pandemic, Stephanopoulos turned to Flynn:

A loud exasperated sigh could be heard from Biden as Stephanopoulos asked the notably pointed question. The Democratic presidential candidate seemed agitated and annoyed at having to respond: “I know nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn, number one. Number two, this is all about diversion….The country is in crisis….He should stop trying to always divert attention from the real concerns of the American people.”

However, Stephanopoulos didn’t let the matter go. In fact, he caught Biden saying something untrue: “I do want to press that. You say you didn’t know anything about it, but you were reported to be at a January 5th, 2017 meeting where you and the President were briefed on the FBI’s plan to question Michael Flynn over those conversations he had with the Russian Ambassador Kislyak.”

Biden was flustered as he fumbled around for an answer:

No, I thought you asked me whether or not I had anything to do with him being prosecuted. I’m sorry. I was aware that there was – that they had asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it, and I don’t think anything else.

VEEPSTAKES: It’s Kamala Harris, Isn’t It? “More than any presidential candidate in history, including both Bushes, Biden needs a veep who can articulate in ways that he simply can’t. But Harris has a speaking style that is pure laid-back California surfer girl. Rather than clearly articulate a vision or excite the crowds with a rousing speech, she slowly carves some bitchin’ bromides.”

Much more at the link.

ALSO, FOR OUR VIP SUPPORTERS: Remember Joe Biden? “What’s funny — well, what’s new and funny today — is that Biden can’t even talk about his veep pick process without grabbing it by the shoulders from behind and whispering sweet nothings in its ear.”

That one is just for our VIP members, and I hope you’ll use that VODKAPUNDIT discount code if you’ve been thinking of becoming a supporter.
