Drake's Place: debate 2-2 primary

Bill Clinton's remarks on NAFTA signing in 1993 at The American Presidency Project page scrubbed? Link result is "404 page not found."

Over 26 years ago The Left ushered the U.S. into NAFTA by then-president DEM Bill Clinton. Now, it seems all the DEMS, especially the presidential candidates, backtrack their being for NAFTA and now appear against it. Or, they suggest that an updated NAFTA will fix the problems with old NAFTA.

Adding another layer to a failed DEM initiative is always the answer. Always.

The link to The American Presidency Project page for NAFTA, titled "Bill Clinton's Remarks on Signing the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act , December 8, 1993", leads to "404 Page Not Found."

Maybe it's a glitch? An overwhelmed slow server running Win7 or XP?

Thankfully, we have The Wayback Machine preserving this page. Hit the link, read the full story. I've intentionally oversized the screen cap:

The above entry now a "404 page not found".

Politifact: News site saying Donald Trump is wrong and that Bill Clinton didn't sign NAFTA is lying. Or maybe it's intentional disinformation.

NowThis, which spreads stories on social media, has accused Trump of getting it wrong — repeatedly.

On Aug. 10, 2016, NowThis posted a video on Facebook headlined "Fact Check: Everything Donald J. Trump says about NAFTA is wrong," and on YouTube titled "Donald Trump Can't Get The Facts Right About NAFTA.".

It turns out that Trump isn't wrong.

Clinton signed the deal on Dec. 8, 1993. His speech that day is available in print form and on YouTube.

How oddly coincidental that this link is a dead "404 Page not found" result.

The video of Bill Clinton's remarks on Signing the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, as of this time, up and running at You Tube. Screen caps from the video:

If you find the link is restored at The American Presidency Project, leave a comment.

Biden gives out website as joe30330.

In his closing remarks on Wednesday night's DEM Debate "The Sequel", Joe Biden stated his website as, Joe30330. In an admittedly tech-savvy moment by a college student, had joe30330.com - for a while - redirected to a site for the campaign of Pete Whatishisname. USA MacPaper:

Joe30330.com now redirects to a fundraising page for the South Bend, Indiana, mayor.

Minutes late, it changed again, redirecting joe30330.com to what looked like a website for Gen Z’er who says he’s ‘not joshin’ you’. But when you click the Donate button on the page, it again redirects to an ActBlue donation page for Buttigieg.

Asking voters to text a custom number is a common way for campaigns to gather donor information.

But Biden’s flub sent people to a website that didn't exist – at least not as an arm of his campaign.

If you send a text to Joe30330 now, you will get a fundraising pitch from the Biden campaign, asking for support and to donate to his effort.
