In the big picture, the needs & whims of da people matter & need tending to. If Repubs are doing that better than D’s, they SHOULD win elections.
This is a big reason why Biden should bully pulpit like CRAZY on da border.
South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg, candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, speaks Norwegian, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, Arabic, Dari, and French. He's a Rhodes Scholar, an Afghan veteran, a concert pianist....
Meanwhile:
“Senate Democrats are quietly talking about asking Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to hold articles of impeachment in the House until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) agrees to a fair rules package for a Senate trial.”
oh well now THIS is juicy...
"Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul."

All my lolllz 😭
Instead of Trump’s pace car lap at Daytona FOX viewers were instead “...treated to a commercial from Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.”
Trump wanted the poor & middle class to shoulder the lion's share of COVID burden, of DEATHS, so the upper classes could ride out the pandemic at lower cost. Think about that.
Trump has been asking advisers if he should stick with his current nickname for Biden — “Sleepy Joe” — or try to coin another moniker, such as “Swampy Joe” or “Creepy Joe.” The president is not convinced that “Sleepy Joe” is particularly damaging...
Just spoke to friends of mine here in Los Angeles, a cis married couple, both Pfizer vxx’d. He went to a bar last week w friends, sat indoors for one hour… this week they both have COVID. He’s in bed sick, she’s asymptomatic.
That Delta…. BE. CAREFUL. 😷
If you'd a told me 10 yrs ago I would get dusty watching a George W Bush video because our current president is so majorly suckass-
i'd have laughed in your face.
and it's dusty in here.
I am no lawyer, not constitutional scholar. But if a U.S President can be allowed to solicit the help of a foreign government to win an election, without being impeached- we're lost.
On my way to Winslow, Arizona. I’ve set the time machine to 1971, so I figure if I stand on a corner in Winslow, AZ I mite be able to stop the forming of the Eagles and thus save rock. Wish me luck.

"A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump..."

Had a great dinner tonight with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
He’s in great spirits! We spent the evening talking about working together to re-take the House & Senate in 2022. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Joe Walsh: "This president deserves to be impeached. Jake, nobody from the White House and no high-level Republicans are on this show today because there's nothing to defend.”
Oh, so THAT’S what a courageous Republican looks like.
@WalshFreedom
This is kindish massive.
While it's been known & bubbling around that Russia favors her, what Clinton is alleging is full on. And she would know. Massive.
The more than 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials “also urged current government employees to report any signs of unethical behavior at the Justice Department to the agency’s inspector general and to Congress.”
"...to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded. Cockburn hears that investigators for the House Intelligence Committee know this whole tale and the identities of some of the people telling it."
3/3
So say it plays out like this:
Trump puts forward his nominee but she isn’t confirmed by the Nov. election, then Trump loses and Senate goes Blue.
Do Trump & Mitch go ahead and confirm his nominee during the lame duck, effectively burning the house down on their way out?
“There are about three economists in the country who believe trade wars work, they all work for Donald Trump, and they’re all morons.

‘“Barr was basically telling Trump, don’t worry I got this.” In other words, don’t blow this by calling attention to all that I do for you. Don’t say the quiet part out loud.’

Ok, here I will use lower case letters. I have read the classified materials. I have received classified briefings. The President of the United States is lying.
Here's the rest of that segment, with Hegseth slagging the rest of the media for "fake news" about Markle.
Bila adds, "There is no story here, no story, this is a fabricated, ridiculous story."
Henry then reads a tweet which states, "Trump didn't cal Meghan Markle 'nasty.'"
Lafayette Park is open again, the outer barriers to the White House are gone and all that remains is the main fence. Tourists are leaning up to it, taking photos. Anti-war and pro-weed protesters are around here doing their thing. Feels like the before time.

Moms For Threesomes ?
The woman accusing Christian Ziegler of sexual battery "alleged that she and both Zieglers had been involved in a longstanding consensual three-way sexual relationship prior to the incident."
So I spent the day today w a Republican, voted Bush twice, OBAMA twice, Trump twice. Smart person, 2 Master’s degrees......
Quoting TUCKER to me.
We must think about what that
means.
this is sweet:
"The whistle-blower, moreover, identified multiple WH officials as witnesses to potential pres. misconduct who could corroborate the complaint, the people said — adding that the inspector general for the IC, Michael Atkinson, interviewed witnesses."
Breaking via NYT: The intelligence officer who filed the whistleblower complaint raised alarms not only about what Trump and Zelensky said in the phone call, but also about how the White House handled records of the conversation, according to two people.
Tautly perfect:
“...the White House slapped together an executive order for Trump to sign, one so toothless it does little more than reinforce how uninterested he and his administration are in addressing the crisis of American policing.”
@NixonLibrary
@RonBrownstein
no- but he fired Arch. Cox, who was leading the investigation into him at the time, ala James Comey. now not the right moment to pick a nit.
This is how Trump blew it. Not Russia, not pussy grabbing, not even Epstein (sadly).
Trump blew it by fucking the farmers. And that is really and truly, unAmerican.
