Joe Biden Still Doesn't Get It
:

May I present you the best knock knock joke of all the knock knock jokes:

No others will be considered ever again.

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

  • Joe Biden still doesn’t get it. After releasing a video addressing several women’s stories about his unwanted touching, he told this joke at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Construction Conference in Washington: “I just want you to know. I had permission to hug Lonnie,” he said after embracing president Lonnie Stephenson. It was such a gut-buster that he made the joke again, later, putting his around a kid on stage. “By the way—he gave me permission to touch him.” [CNN]

  • In a 12-page memo to Congress, Michael Cohen’s attorneys say that Donald Trump “encouraged Cohen to lie and say all Moscow Tower project contacts ended as of January 31, 2016 using ‘code’ language—telling Cohen during various conversations that there was ‘no collusion, no Russian contacts, nothing about Russia’ after the start of the campaign.” [BuzzFeed]
