Regarding "Biden and His Critics" I would want to raise awareness about one of the most despicable unpatriotic pieces of propaganda that I have seen as far shilling for Putin. The title, believe it or not, is "Vladimir Putin's spiritual missile damns America." On Glenn Beck's FB site "White House Brief" he just ran this piece (that included a photo of Biden looking troubled with his face in his hand next to Putin looking calm and cool) from his publication "The Blaze" which he now also mails to a subscriber email list. Anyone who wants to read this piece of garbage can find it by googling the title.
I have stopped to wonder where we would be if Donald Trump had been elected in 2020. I firmly believe that there would be no Ukraine as a recognizable entity. It would be consumed by Russia. There would be no NATO or at least it would not include the USA. The US government would be closely aligned with Putin and likely China, reading the writing on the wall would have invaded Taiwan.
That's not inconceivable at all. Remember Helsinki when Trump said he believed in Putin more than our own intelligence gathering community.
So we have this election coming. I would submit to the right that this is not the time to wring your hands over how much it costs to sustain this. Even Darryl Issa believes in this. Biden is one of those rare birds, born in the right place at the right time. I find him to be inspirational. I find Poland who has suffered at the hands of so many to be inspirational. I feel the same way about the leadership and the people of Ukraine.
I find the dregs we call the Republican party to be pathetic.
I think this next election will be decided by two issues. Ukraine and abortion.
"Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene — a member of the Homeland Security Committee — decided this was a good moment to call for a national divorce between red and blue states."
A national divorce makes no sense. However more federalism in the sense of giving states and even cities and counties more leeway on policies as a means to calm things down and deal with the diversity of opinion in the country does. Then if you did not like being governed by the twits where you live, you at least could move to somewhere else where you would be governed by twits perhaps more to your liking.
I am no fan of Joe Biden. I disagree with many of his domestic policies, think he kowtows too much to his party’s authoritarian leftists, and agree with his critics that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was a fiasco. However his trip to Ukraine, his meeting with Zelensky, and his support of Ukraine in its war with Russia are right and good things Americans should respect and be proud about. I hope his trip inspires/pressures others in NATO to increase their support. It should.
Muzzle the nasty margarie. Shame on her and all the rot she spews. Send her and all the woke wackos to a ship with a one way trip ticket to anywhere else.......”the evil fear, hate boat”....
Republicans in the House and Senate who voted against certifying the 2020 Presidential election and continue to try to undermine our Constitutional Republic should be referred to as the "Oathbreaker Caucus".
Oh goodie! Secession! That time when the blue states no longer have to support the red states. That time when MTG "shrinks the federal govt" by removing herself and her state from the nation. Ahem, Marjorie, but you don't get to take the federal govt with you when you secede...just sayin'.
But then Putin is just as nutz since HE is peddling that Ukraine, the US, the West and the Free World attacked Russia ... without invading Russia or setting one boot or missile on Russian soil and with ALL of Russia's "war machine" being on the ground in Ukraine. Cognitive dissonance? If the West attacked Russia by NOT SENDING troops or missiles into Russia, then why isn't Putin the leader of the Free But Inept World by now?? Sheesh!
RE: Jimmy Carter. People disrespect his presidency largely because he resisted going to war against Iran. And depended on diplomatic methods - which, in the long term, worked. Name another President who knowingly damaged his chances for re-election by refusing to go to war. Reagan never would have happened. Profiles In Courage.
If a "national divorce" becomes an issue in the GOP primary...we are a lot more down the hell-hole of no return than I thought. Although--to your point--I would be surprised if that question is NOT asked by a voter in the primary.
I'm not sure what's more amusing: Marjorie Taylor Greene being too much of an ignoramus to understand what a profoundly unrepresentative sample of Americans "everyone I talk to" constitutes, or Mike Brest's obliviousness regarding precisely which states have the greatest ability to be self-sufficient.
For example, I'm sure you'll be simply stunned to learn which states depend most on the federal government and take the most federal money relative to what they give back in tax revenue:
But don't worry Marge. After all, your state voted for Biden and has two Democratic senators for the next four years, so maybe you'll luck out and won't be stuck with the losers.
Here is the essence of todays tribalism:I hate your side more than I like mine. You are the enemy and therefore wrong.Therefore I oppose anything you stand for. These three sentences explain American politics to a tee and have for about twenty years. It has become so easy to predict reactions of the other side.Hence the reactions to Biden's trip.Barack Obama once said in 2012 that the fever should break after the election.I feel that may happen in a generation or two.DY

Thats a bit of a stretch.
So ....is the plan that Tucker will distract the Fox audience from the Dominion scandal with the secessionist stuff and the Jan 6 footage?
They are really trying to make us forget that they are liars !

Was that tweet written by MTG or by ChatMTG?

Great tie on Dateline
Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a "national divorce." I agree 1000%! America needs to divorce Marjorie Taylor Greene!!!
