Good day all. Just got to ask, why are we still dealing with this? He needs to be indicted and brought to trial. The hearings today should put a ribbon this. C’mon man…
Democrats should be screaming about abortion but here in NY they are screaming about preserving bail reform and have signed on to Corporate Welfare for a billionaire sports team owner. We may end up with a Trumpie Governor. :(
We can't have both higher domestic oil and gas production AND lower prices. It just costs too much to extract the oil and gas in the US. Who is going to tell voters this?
Surprised that Alex. Vindman doesn't know that Trump receives no intelligence briefings:
Published Feb. 5, 2021
WASHINGTON — President Biden said on Friday that he would bar his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, from receiving intelligence briefings traditionally given to former presidents, saying that Mr. Trump could not be trusted because of his “erratic behavior” even before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Remember these comments came on the same day that Russian State Media said that the US should change out the Biden regime for their "partner", Trump. People are openly committing treason while we watch and no one is getting arrested or prosecuted. Never thought I'd see the day.
As Charlie observed, our vocabulary of outrage has been taxed to exhaustion by Donald Trump. But my own personal one is getting its second wind. And I've made no vow to fast vis a vie obscenities and Lent. However, I'll be hurling no profanities toward that son of a bitch here. Well, beyond that last, anyway.
Trump is what he is, and he does what he does, and by now we should all well know this. And while some may be justifiably and viscerally outraged at this latest act of base and despicable treachery toward our country, none should be shocked or surprised. Some folks will perhaps not get this, but for me - an ardent and proud Never Trumper from long before the time the term was even coined - both emotionally and intellectually, my reaction is pretty much the equivalent of a mental shrug. I mean c'mon, what did you expect?
No, the gathering wind in my vocabulary is for the men and women who will still - after all that's come before this, and now this itself - praise, support, promote, and embrace this modern-day Benedict Arnold, along with all those who refuse to raise their voice to condemn or even mildly criticize him, especially and particularly those in the political realm who see such an action as disadvantageous to their political careers or goals. They are, through their words and deeds, or lack thereof, complicit in the on-going treachery, and are no better than the man himself. So, let me just take a breath here and sum up my feelings toward them as Americans and as human beings...
Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. May their fates be in the end as ignominious as Arnold's, and their names remembered thusly.
Sorry about the language. But, I do feel a bit better. Exercising that vocabulary occasionally is a pretty good way to keep it in shape for perhaps more important endeavors yet to come.
Signups for Truth Social, Trump's new network, has dropped precipitously. Maybe people see no connection between Trump & truth. Does Trump really expect to get truth from Putin abt Hunter Biden; he's looking for dirt, not truth.
One thing I disagree with Charlie Sykes on is the future of the GOP. I think he believes Trumpism is a permanent feature of the GOP moving forward. I think Trumpism, which doesn't appeal to more than a minority of people and is untethered to any actual governing political philosophy, is unsustainable as guiding force within the GOP. I believe that Trumpism will almost surely come to an end sometime in the future. The question is when. It certainly won't be as early as 2024, but will almost certainly be before the 2028 elections.
Is Vindman talking about revoking Trump's security clearance? I don't believe Trump has or ever has had a security clearance. His "security clearance" came entirely from being elected President of the United States. Presidents don't need security clearances to see classified material. If Trump had to get a security clearance like those around him, he likely would never have received it. Does anyone think Trump could pass a background test in order to get a security clearance? Highly unlikely.
Can someone clear something for me? I thought Joe Biden was President. Isn't Hunter Biden his 40 something year old son? Why does anyone care what he does?

The Washington Post has it all wrong. Democracy doesn't die in darkness, it dies in the full light of day by followers who approve of its death.
Finally some good news - apparently there's a DOJ grand jury issuing subpoenas re 1/6. A bit harder for the Pets to ignore than the 1/6 committee.

Putin might be happy to fill Trump's order for "noise news" just to shift the spot light away from himself... even if it is total BS.
He is the slimiest of the slime!

I hope JVL shorted the DWAC SPAC.

So Trumps social App is suffering. How can this be? He's got Devin Nunes in charge. What could possibly go wrong?
Does anyone have the Vegas odds on when Trump dumps Nunes?
