«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 499 Newer› Newest»Are they breaking windows in DC today?
Just turned on news for first time just in time to see troops marching with black mask, concrete walls topped with razor wire and no public in sight except for elites. Real Hunger Games vibe to it.
I don't remember the last inauguration I watched, so I'm not watching this one, but I like the quote in this post.
Rosalyn C: "This is a perfect illustration of how not to behave and how Biden is already a dismal failure. He can't even influence his own supporters to do the right thing."
In defense of LLR-lefty Chuck, Biden is not Chuck's guy since Biden is no where near far left enough for Chuck's taste.
Chuck is much more a Blumenthal/Whitmer/Boxer/Warren sort of democratical.
But he'll take Biden in a pinch.
Watching political speeches is the same as watching commercials.
"Add the CCP and tech moguls. They all make up the oligarchy. 'That have been running the country for some time.' With a temporary 4 year pause that demonstrated what the will of the people can accomplish."
The oligarchy were still the primary beneficiaries of Trump's presidency, and the people were not. Trump's supporters were had. Like any true believers, they deceived themselves.
the Nazis had an easier time of drawing the populace to their side.
The socialists and communists both promised a consolidation and redistribution (i.e. redistributive change) of capital and control. What seems to have favored the progress of Nazis, however, was their em-pathetic appeal to rabid diversity, neo-fascists (in the politically congruent sense) and neo-KKK antecedents (some, select lives matter) groups, proclamations of Jew privilege, advocacy for selective-Jew, among other deplorables or mere "burdens"... One step forward, two steps backward.
“Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire.”
Would have been good to say on inauguration day, 2017.
Of course, it would have been useless for prog purposes then. But it is useful for prog purposes now: Joe's writers have a feel for what the nice women of America want to hear.
"Why would anyone ever watch the inaugural address? Ceremonial bullshit, always, and all the way down.
1/20/21, 12:46 PM"
I used to love watching the inaugurations, same with the conventions and the SOTU speeches, etc., even if I hadn't voted for that President. But that was many years ago, when I thought caring actually made a difference.
The ritual, that's part of what made it great. Maybe the only part.
LLR-lefty Chuck: "Have I introduced you to the work of the Lincoln Project?"
Yes, they are the ones that publicly announced they wanted 1-party democrat rule and complete implementation ofthe entire far left democrat agenda.
We are all well aware of this but thank you for reminding us again.
**for the democrat agenda when not grooming for sexual purposes young boys.
Yes, I can understand why Chuck supports them so strongly.
Tell that to Mike Flynn! Tell that to Donald Trump and the 4-years of Russian Bullsh*t. Let's see the MSM finally admit that Trump had a soul, loved the country and that Democrats spent 4-years vilifying Trump and Republicans. Tell that to all of the burned-out business in Minneapolis. Tell that to Horace Lorenzo Anderson and Antonio Mays of Seattle's CHAZ/CHOP. Oh, wait! They're dead. Biden and the Democrats incited the riots all summer long. Impeach Biden and Harris for their part in the burning down of American cities.
... says the man who has been busy starting fires for nearly fifty years.....
Our country is going through one of its political self-indulgence process which occurs every decade or so. We will see how Biden governs. I hope that adults will succeed for the sake of our country. 'Climate Change' legislation will be the harbinger for me. For example, Germany passed a law which allows the government to impose a 2 hour black out on the country cause Germany's spending on Solar and Wind has been a disaster for its electrical grid. New electric cars are taxing the energy grids - you can only charge your car between 10am to 8pm. Time will tell, but it doesn't look good from my perspective. Economic calamity is the result of government meddling in the energy sector. Our savior is that we still have 50 states and they all have different views on how to clean our air.
“Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire.”
Is that a signal to BLM and Antifa? Or are more businesses going to be burned out in the name of ... whatever the latest lefty political fad is?
Comrade Cook posts routinely about what a clever, insightful, original mind he possesses, and as proof tells us that the rich, connected and powerful run things.
Duh.
Things really go to hell, comrade, when people indulge your delusions that the commies are different.
Politics doesn't, but if you imply your opponents want to re-enslave Americans and are Nazis, it is going to be.
"Winners make policy. Losers go home."
Then what are you doing here, Chuck? Go home.

Or, Germany would have gone Communist. It was for a while a close run thing between the Nazis & the Communists, but for obvious reasons, the Nazis had an easier time of drawing the populace to their side. In any case, the Nazis & the Commies were united in their loathing of the Weimar republic.
Same reason the Falangists won in Spain; they were a much lesser evil than the Republicans who had become a tool of the Soviets.

"Yes, I still wonder who was running Obama. Man of Mystery as president."
No mystery at all. Wall Street. Look at his cabinet.
That was Clinton. "If there is reincarnation, I want to come back as the Bond Market."
Obama is more of a mystery. Biden is easy, China all the way.
The U.S. is still in good shape.
Despite all the blather, everybody’s still rich and fat. Obesity is still our #1 health problem.
The DOW doesn’t seem to give a shit who’s president.
I think AI is already more deeply involved in running the show than we imagine. How else to explain that the engine of commerce kept chugging uninterrupted through the plague?
I regard the political show as just another form of entertainment. Since nobody pays attention to serious art or practices serious religion any more, it’s about all we have in common to yak about.
Fuck Biden
No. Fuck the people who voted for him.
Domestic enemies. All of them.
The oligarchy were still the primary beneficiaries of Trump's presidency, and the people were not. Trump's supporters were had. Like any true believers, they deceived themselves.
This is why commie Cook gets only one of 25 comments right. The working class and blacks saw significant improvements economically for the first time in decades. That will now be wiped out. The oligarchy got richer on Obama's ZIRP and will now see that it is permanent. When the collapse comes, they will be in their Tuscany hilltop mansions with their cash ready to come back for bargains.
No. Fuck the people who voted for him.
Mail in ballots don't have vaginas.
“Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire” is kind of mixed in with “It’s not over until we win.”
"don't forget who has been loosening regulations on lending for the last forty years"
Remember when Joe Biden pushed through the law that made student loans non-dischargable? Good times... good times. BTW, the banks made Hunter a vice president at that time, right out of college! Such a bright boy.
I just thought of a reason I should wish Joe Biden well. Kamala Harris.
So has there been any need for the massive build up of national guard troops in DC? It seems all this insurrection talk was fake news.
Meanwhile Politico is already advancing pawns for the 25th amendment gambit that is coming.
“I just thought of a reason I should wish Joe Biden well. Kamala Harris.”

I agree, Joe. Best foreign policy in my lifetime. Eisenhower's was probably OK, too, but I don't remember it.

It seems all this insurrection talk was fake news.
I'm waiting to see if the District government uses it as an excuse to cancel the annual March For Life on 1/29/2021. It is the epitome of a peaceful march. It's gone on for so many years that by now the players all know each other, down to the marchers & the DC cops. It's a situation where the Catholic church ladies bake cookies & brownies to give to the cops along the way.
I wonder if Mr. Catholic Commander-in-Chief Hisself, Joe Biden, will deign to give the majority Catholic march the time of day.

"Does anybody on this board have any real problems?"
-- A few weeks in December were rough; I had a run in with COVID. It was pretty miserable. I don't usually get sick, so I was not ready for both the physical feeling of being ill (my worst symptoms were coughing up blood for several days and muscle aches and a pain in my lungs if I tried to lay down, so I had to get my sleep sitting on the couch) as well as the "what do I do while unable to do anything" sick. I watched a lot of Twilight Zone and Twin Peaks. But, since about a few days after Christmas, I'm back to normal.

It’s very annoying to have to agree with Howard... but... here goes...
I think he’s right that UBI (Universal Basic Income) is on the way. It’s already essentially the reality in NY, where a single mom with a couple of kids receives a total in excess of $42,000 in welfare and government grants.
As employees, we’ve all become a big pain in the ass. Few people want to work but we all want lifetime security and a large percentage of us are looking to hit the Lotto with that great lawsuit against our employers.
So, yeah, Howard’s right, it is probably better for the government to pay us to stay home and cease working. The plague is making that even more obvious.
The problem is: I don't trust the government not to manipulate the UBI in unethical ways. I expect it is coming because a good chunk of the government is always up for giving people other people's money and calling it Morality.
But, I fear that a government that gives you everything can take it away just as easily.

I’m divorced, so I’ve dated single moms. Some out of work since March, and Gov Evers can’t get the unemployment checks out. They are MONTHS behind on rent with kids at home because Milwaukee won’t open schools.
I’ve seen Teachers in our local school district organize boycotts of local businesses that just wanted to open up. Neighbor called the cops on kids playing in the park without masks.
One of my brothers and brother-in-law both lost jobs because of unnecessary COVID lock downs.
My parents suburban hometown of Elmhurst, IL where I grew up was boarded up this past summer for the first time ever because of BLM paramilitary violence. They were scared so I went down and got them.

UBI would be a failure simply because it wold be known how much every one is receiving and rents, prices and fees would all be adjusted upwards accordingly.
I had an uncle who worked on the line at Ford Small Parts Division for 30 years. He told me many times how the UAW would go into negotiations with the auto makers, get everyone a pay increase and the day after the details hit the newspapers the price of milk and bread would go up. It would be the same with UBI.
the majority of Americans love this Country and it’s welfare
And yet the 1st and 2nd ammendments are under direct attack by our newly elected leaders. Is this something I should be worried about? As an American.
Well, OK. There's a lot of OTHER problems with the UBI. I guess I should have phrased it as, if the UBI would actually work as a policy, I STILL wouldn't want it.

I do. I've been unemployed since the end of 2019 due to a lay off. I'd worked for the same company for 22 years. It was obviously going to be a struggle to get back to work due to my age (I'm 57). COVID hasn't made it any easier, neither has having to deal with my 92 year old mother's dementia, the ramifications of my stepdaughter getting an Extreme DUI and my stepson's autism.

Joy? Inga the State's Handmaiden is probably having multiple orgasms at the prospect off at least four years of serfdom under Joe'n'Ho.
I asked earlier what metrics would be used to measure a successful Biden presidency. The most commented on response from Chuck was that (my interpretation) Biden has already succeeded because the only metric that matters is: "Did he replace Trump as President." Is that really true? Do Biden supporters really not hope for any practical impacts of a Biden Presidency? That the only reason to seek power is to keep opponents from having victory parties? To put the best face on this I can, I suppose one could say even if everything gets worse under Biden (when measured by quantitative measures) he is successful because he kept them from getting worse faster. (Not a very attractive political slogan: vote democrat to slow the decline.) But on many of the issues Trump's metrics aren't bad -- greenhouse gas emissions will show a decline under Trump, racial disparities will show a decline under Trump.
It does take a dull, willfully self-blinded mind to see things otherwise, or to believe the rotation of Dems and Republicans in and out of the White House produce significant changes as to who runs things, who profits, and who loses.
Many of us agree. But we think Trump was an exception and your unwillingness to see that is what makes you an object of ridicule. We can argue about how successful he was but if you can't see that he was a change, you are as blind as the Marxists.
Put down TPM and read this. It would tell you where Trump came from but you prefer your blinders.

Things the lefties should have been preaching for the previous 5 years: If you've got a loved one who's fallen under the spell of Russia collusion delusions, the next few years could be a crucial window to reach out to them. Their whole world is collapsing around them. They need help & support not mockery & derision. Try to show them a way out of this madness.
Of course, such a warning which was indeed offered was ignore by over 2/3rds of all democraticals who, to this very day, believe fervently that Putin changed vote tallies to install Trump as President.

Never let a crisis go to waste
I'm glad we've all, at least in America, agreed to stop assuming any morality in our President, and have accepted they're just a person to enact policy. It's something we started a long time ago, but we've finally accepted.
I mean, everyone acknowledges Tara Reade was probably sexually assaulted and raped, and definitely was if we use the same rules against Biden as we use with conservatives. So, we finally had an election between Trump -- not exactly a man of moral purity -- and a known, accepted plagiarist and rapist, and we as a country didn't stop and say: "Hey, wait. Surely this isn't the best we can do!"
So, it's pretty good to know that we're not even pretending from this point on that the president has to be, is expected to be, or actually is, a moral person. But, there's a sadness there too.
Maybe we can unite in that sadness.

Doesn’t affect them much and they didn’t work their whole lives to retire in turmoil.
Trust me…I’m not complimenting or defending my Generation X. We turned parenthood into a competition our kids couldn’t handle. We loved the prestige of posting only their successes on FB. And we let the Public Schools dose all our young boys with Ritalin rather than run them around the block. Generation X also applauded as the public schools taught our kids their masculinity was toxic. So were their Dads and Grandpas. Our daughters can either go into massive debt or start an OnlyFans page and twerk for tuition.
We reap what we sew. But 75 Million plus tried sewing things a bit differently. That couldn’t be allowed. There was realpolitik in the way. That was really dumb of all of us. We thought someone could actually do the right thing. No new wars was nice, wasn’t it?

A pretty good analysis of our coming Biden economy
These financial intermediaries shouldn’t exist, and this same issue came up in 2009 in the United States. You had the leading American bank being the most crooked and internally corrupt bank in the country, Citibank making junk mortgage, and it was broke.
Sheila Bair in 2016. (Matt Spangler for Washington College, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons)
Its entire net worth was wiped out as a result of its fraudulent junk mortgages. Well, Sheila Bair, the head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) wanted to close it down and take it over. Essentially that would have made it into a public bank and that would be a wonderful thing. She said, look Citibank shouldn’t be doing what it’s doing. And she wrote all this up in an autobiography. And, she was overruled by President Obama and Tim Geithner saying, but wait a minute, those are our campaign contributors. So, they were loyal to the campaign contributors, but not the voters; and they didn’t close Citibank down.
And the result is that the Federal Reserve ended up creating about $7 trillion of quantitative easing to bail out the banks. The homeowners weren’t bailed out. Ten million American families lost their homes as a result of junk mortgages in excess of what the property was actually worth.
The story of Biden and the oligarchy that we created.
We reap what we sew.
We rip what we sew.
Always, always, always remember that every one of these elected morons (and every federal worker) are your employees.
You need to get the relationship straight before you can do anything about DC.
"In other news, CNN reports that the White House has called a lid at 4 pm (Eastern Time) on newly sworn-in President Biden's activities. According to unnamed West Wing sources, the President became confused while reading the traditional letter that former President Trump left for his successor. (This tradition was started by then-outgoing President Reagan who wrote a note on some stationery illustrated by Sandra K. Boynton, showing a cartoon elephant covered in turkeys, with the caption, “Don’t let the turkeys get you down.”)
According to these same sources, President Trump left a single sheet of White House stationary with the words "See other side" written on both sides of the sheet and the incoming President spent 45 minutes 'reading' the letter before aides noticed what was going on and stopped him."
I for one would like politics to be a raging fire: a raging, purging fire to cleanse the body politic of all traces of statism, leaving behind a free society in its wake.
First they have the Reichstag Fire with the "Capitol Hill Insurrection", then Joe* gaslights us about "politics doesn't have to be a fire" (because it can be a "mostly peaceful protest")?

The main stream press will run along for a while on "tail gunner shots" at the Evil Orange Man--but that shouldn't last forever (although it might).

"They'll be reduced to planting slobbery wet kisses on the Biden team. And after a time that will get dull. And then what will they do?"

You can disagree politically with the new President but also be reminded with this speech that he is a fundamentally good and decent person - which matters more than ever - and wish him nothing but the best.
While this is obviously theoretically true it just as obviously does not apply to current events.
"Our long national nite mare is over"
"All Americans should answer Biden."
Along with 30 million illegals.
Just because someone is in the White House doesn't make them 'my president.'
Obama made it perfectly clear that he didn't give a shit about anyone but his base.
I wasn't thrilled with Clinton, but at least I thought that he actually cared about America and Americans.
But I will not abide any politician who puts their base voter first and America last.
"Politics doesn't have to be a raging fire" but then why in the world did we elect a dumpster fire as President?

Thanks. I made it up myself, but it's an old joke, so I can't claim all the credit.
The Biden Administration should be comedy gold for SNL and others, but they won't go there because comedy died sometime during the last decade.

Fuck off, Canuck.
The "1776 project" report is already gone from the Whitehouse web site. How long before "the 1619 project" is on?

I'm glad I'm not a friggin' conservative anymore.
"Biden is the constitutionally elected president."
Yes, yes, one thousand times yes. But he's still an idiot.
Don't take my word for it, trust Obama:
"Don't ever underestimate Joe's ability to f*ck things up."
"You can disagree politically with the new President but also be reminded with this speech that he is a fundamentally good and decent person"
Joe Biden and Not-A-Real-Doctor Jill Biden refuse to acknowledge even the existence of the grandchild their crackhead/under-age ChiCom girl sexual cavorting/brother's wife bopping son Hunter had with a stripper.
Behold: "fundamentally good and decent".
I suppose we should congratulate them for not post-birth aborting the child in order to harvest the babies body parts for democratical "fun and profit", similar to how Biden's ChiCom allies harvest organs from their slaves held in concentration camps in ChiCom-land.
How many of those executive orders signed today were used to light fires?

Yes. The Trumpkins really don’t understand. Biden was constitutionally elected. That’s what is really alarming!
The State next to me is a blue State. The Governor there has the National Guard surrounding their Capitol. It's tense. It's fearful.
My State is a red State. No need to call up the National Guard. Our Capitol has no barriers or fencing. The Governor announced yesterday, 'Citizens are welcome in their Capitol.'
We are the most heavily armed State in the Union. We have peace. We don't wear masks. (Some do. That's OK.)
You know the deplorables are in trouble when Shouting Thomas is the voice of reason and Meade starts spouting Qanon talking points.
"You can disagree politically with the new President but also be reminded with this speech that he is a fundamentally good and decent person"
No one who has been in politics as long as Biden is a 'good and decent person'.
In Massachusetts, we called the national guard in June, but no fear. People were still out on the common protesting. If anything it allowed the peaceful protestors for BLM feel better that they were not have the event hijacked by antifa.
What a load of crap. His party spied on their opponent. They Jailed innocent supporters. They created a fake Russia conspiracy and Ukraine conspiracy. They accused a Supreme Court nominee of being a gang raper. And they filibustered almost every damn nominee and bill sent up.
Go straight to hell Chicom Biden*
"You know the deplorables are in trouble when Shouting Thomas is the voice of reason..."
ST may be a curmudgeon, but he never struck me as unreasonable, even though we may disagree at times...
Was it my imagination or were the oath segments shortened for Biden?
"Kevin Williamson at National Review: Witless Ape Rides Helicopter"
Pretty bold talk for a guy who didn't last 48 hours at The Atlantic.
Trump isn't for all tastes, but he put out some great policy, and he raised important questions. We have some dark days ahead under Team Biden and the Kongressional Klown Show.
What does Kevin Williamson do, again? Oh, yeah: Witless Ape Sits at Keyboard.
"Biden is good and decent."
I'll be on board when Biden EO's a ban on 3rd and 4th trimester abortion.
Now waiting for the first piece from the Left about Biden needing to be more like Trump.

Howard, we all knew we were in trouble when your senile hero took the oath.
The 1776 project report vanished from the Whiten House web site in minutes. We are back to the lunatics' race war. You might be checking into some skin coloring.
“You know the deplorables are in trouble when Shouting Thomas is the voice of reason and Meade starts spouting Qanon talking points.”
Funny, but true. I’ve wondered for the last four years what it was about Trumpists that made them get behind a man like Trump. After reading this thread, it’s become a bit clearer and it’s not noble. It’s an odd combo of nihilism, spite, and more not worth dwelling on, on a day like today.
Biden looks like a half-dead man walking.
I'm sure it would have all been much more satisfying 30 years ago.
What a strange turn of events for him. Thanks, covid!

You haven't been here long enough then. He spent years shitting all over the comments referring to everything as "fag-hags" and "Marxist". Mental illness seems likely with a recent change in meds.
He should entirely excise lecturing others on decorum from his oeuvre.
It's very unfortunate that the Bidenfellators here think he was "constitutionally elected". In Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania unelected bureaucrats substituted their judgement for what is a "legal" ballot over the Legislature. Unelected judges then affirmed those unelected bureaucrats despite state laws and the Constitution being quite clear that the Legislature sets the rules.
So no, Biden and his Whore have not been "constitutionally elected". They have been selected by the exact people who Constitutionally have no say in the election process. So Biden not only is not MY president, he is Constitutionally NO ONE'S President.
The nice thing about all of this is it was very well reported as to the facts of the matter. The only issue is that the reporting also included vast quantities of narrative and interpretive nonsense so that low intellect voters such as Chuck, Inga, and most Progs didn't understand the import of what happened. Of course since the result was to their liking they didn't care that they had been lied to. For them an illegitimate chief executive was preferable to the life of the republic they profess to love.

Remind me again, which part of the Constitution enshrines systemic voter fraud?
I tend to stay on the alert for any signs of actual good character, rather than trying to interpret stuff that way.
Insty: the report of the President's 1776 commission was taken down and the commission disbanded by executive order.
“Remind me again, which part of the Constitution enshrines systemic voter fraud?”
The lie that won’t die.
"I’ve wondered for the last four years what it was about Trumpists that made them get behind a man like Trump."
Once again, dim bulb, it's not the man, it's his policies.
Just about every Trump voter would rather that he came in the form of a secular saint, but you dance with the one that brought you....
But I don't expect low-information voters to understand.
Remind me again, which part of the Constitution enshrines systemic voter fraud?
The Twilight Amendment. You know, penumbras and emanations, the Twilight Fringe, selective-child, the wicked solution, among other forward-looking - one step forward, two steps backward - quasi-religious prescriptions. Enslavement of blacks, with free and integrated black Americans. Women denied the vote, while voting and owning property. The fabricated clause that denies individual dignity, individual conscience, history, science, civil rights, and human rights, too.
"The lie that won’t die."
Along with 'fine people.'
We can do this all day.
Let us recall our History...
Before the Colonies would agree to form a Union under a Federal Gov't, they insisted on restricting that FedGov.
The Colonies knew the nature of man and insisted on a 'Bill of Rights', as we call them now. 10 Amendments to the original Constitution, before they would sign on.
In our time, the 9th and 10th Amendments would have prevented the madness of today. The demonic US Dept. of Education could never have been conjured up.
But...we have lawyers, and now a 'living' Constitution that can be stretched and twisted to reach a desired end. Penumbras and emanations. Lawyers. Used to be called Pharisees.
"Many of us agree. But we think Trump was an exception...."
He wasn't.
'You haven't been here long enough then. He spent years shitting all over the comments referring to everything as "fag-hags" and "Marxist".'
Well, Marxists are kind of a thing, especially these days.
So on that point I have no beef with ST.
overcome your addiction to conspiracy theories
This from,"nobody knows what Mueller knows".
Yes I'm not taking anybody as a serious commentator that has blindly followed every narrative the media presented.
Now, too stupid to follow the pattern, and will believe everything the propaganda NYT prints about how Biden is doing is great.
“Once again, dim bulb, it's not the man, it's his policies.”
Baloney. It was very much about the man and the hateful policies he stood behind. No other man would’ve taken such measures to destroy this democracy.

Yes, it has been deemed nonviable, a selective-constitution, a "burden", if you will, and an ostensibly "secular" Planned Parable from the Twilight Fringe has replaced it.
Ok Schumer now majority leader. I expect the GOP Senators to stew over this as the date for the impeachment vote approaches.
"Baloney. It was very much about the man and the hateful policies he stood behind."
Like stopping flights from China? Sounds really hateful.
Putting kids in cages at the border? Wait, Obama built those.

Spearheading a Covid vaccine in less than a year...fastest in history? Don't take your shot.
Economic policies that increased the income of blacks and minorities to the highest point in history? Terrible.
Hiring the first openly gay cabinet member and ambassador? Homophobe.
Being a long-time supporter of gay marriage. Obama disapproves.

The openly corrupt and senescent Joe Biden is turning the presidency into a dumpster fire.
I went to a "federal facility" today -- a nearby wildlife refuge, in order to take a walk with my dog. It was closed because it was a federal holiday. I wonder if (really, I can't believe that) they would send out police to enforce masks on people walking in solitude in the parks. And if they do, is that really truly the best way to spend federal funds to fight the covid?
"Civil asset forfeiture laws all around the country long ago left the Fourth Amendment in tatters."
For the record (not that it matters), I had a huge disagreement with Trump on this.
These types of laws are evil and hurt the poor and middle class, and have turned our police departments into quasi-armies.
"The openly corrupt and senescent Joe Biden is turning the presidency into a dumpster fire."

Ozzie, we’re told, wasn’t even caught as part of an election fraud investigation: He was simply on the trail to John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty, a powerful Philadelphia labor boss who leads the Local 98 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and was indicted in February 2019. Johnny Doc’s younger brother, Judge Kevin Dougherty,” was elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 2015 with help from Local 98.

PA election corruption that Trump supposedly lied about except that people are going to prison and looky, a PA Supreme Court judge is mobbed up.
I wrote a recent comment about requiring masks in a federal wildlife refuge to make a larger point: Biden democrats are much more interested in symbolic actions (like mask requirements) than they are in practical impacts (like slowing the spread of covid).
And media lies continue with the new administration.

The granular details of many of the allegations about Hunter Biden’s dealings in China are supported by documentation, but larger conclusions resurrected at the end of the 2020 campaign are unsubstantiated.. - Politifact
Yeah, he took the money from the Chinese communists, the evidence is in, but that doesn’t prove that “the Big Guy” is corrupt! Oh no! It’s perfectly OK to take billions from the Chinese Communists when your dad is negotiating with them on behalf of the United States!
What a fucking day.
Cases and hospitalizations started dropping last week in Florida, thank you Donald Trump for getting us through this. Please don’t fuck it up Joe.

Remember when Hunter got that job as a VP with a commercial bank right out of college when his dad was pushing through “bankruptcy reform” which included making student loans non dischargeable?
Biden took a bribe and made it so your student loans follow you to your grave.
Biden’s other EOs, stops the withdrawal from the WHO and the Paris Climate accord, good work President Biden, keep it up.
Then reversing the Muslim Ban, order to terminate the national emergency fund for the border wall, thank you!
And more...
I thought that we learned from impeachment that POTUS did not have the power to make foreign policy and yet here Joe Biden, without so much as a by your leave from the Senate, which has explicit power over treaties, commits the US to a climate treaty when the US is just about the only country in the world actually reducing emissions.
" stops the withdrawal from the WHO and the Paris Climate accord,”
Constitution is just a godamn sheet of paper, right Inag?
You know what America needs right now during a pandemic? Hundreds of thousands of uncontrolled and unvetted migrants crossing our borders. Good work Joe!
"Start with your own team, sir."
"Then reversing the Muslim Ban, order to terminate the national emergency fund for the border wall, thank you!"

There was no Muslim ban.

Israel got a four-year break, but once again she will have to fight for her life.
You know that the reversal in the infections and hospitalizations could have happened six weeks ago, and a lot of people are dying now that didn’t have to, but the FDA slow walked approval of the vaccine until election day.
At that time, the companies decided to stop having their lab confirm cases of Covid-19 in the study, instead leaving samples in storage. The FDA was aware of this decision. Discussions between the agency and the companies concluded, and testing began this past Wednesday.[Day after the election] When the samples were tested, there were 94 cases of Covid in the trial. The DSMB met on Sunday.

Son of a bitch, they started looking at the samples again the day after the election and the vaccine wsa good to go!
What’s a few COVID deaths compared to getting Joe elected!
"Wait, we learned that the President CAN'T undo previous EOs without a comment period and other things.”
We are going to find out that we were fed a lot of lies by Democrats and their media allies.
"And more..."
When will Joe dismantle the cages that he and Big O built?
Close Guantanamo and give it back to Cuba?
Pull troops out of the Middle East?

Pro-marxist LLR-lefty Chuck (who was banned from Althouse blog for being caught out in a long series of lies as well as racist statements and violent intent towards women and children (a "John Weaver" type)): "Trump's mendacious and incompetent series of statements about Charlottesville,"
LLR-lefty Chuck continues with his long ago thoroughly debunked Charlottesville hoax lies, which pairs nicely with his long-time russia collusion lies along with a nice chianti.
This comes as no surprise.
Recall that LLR-lefty Chuck demanded a Special Counsel investigation into the entire Trump Admin communications shop because Sarah Sanders baked a pecan pie and sent out a tweet with a pic of the pie.
This so angered LLR-lefty Chuck that he immediately went Full Captain Queeg and began to harass Althouse repeatedly behind the scenes, leading Althouse to create a post telling, anonymously, Chuckles to cut it out.
Chuck, being a rather psychotic sort of fellow, demonstrated conclusively by his long history of racist remarks and at times astonishing violent imagery against women and children, chose not to cut it out.
He was subsequently banned but continues to return day after day despite Althouse instructions to not do so.
Even more interesting, when psycho Chuck shows up he usually immediately begins to lecture others on following Althouse moderation rules. Chuck is very much like a naughty 12 year old when he does this.
Chuck is also usually strenuously defended by another far left conspiracy lunatic who was banned, Inga.
Because of course.
All in all par for the course with our lefties.
I haven't seen the Bedpan Commando this happy since Karen B lent her a special tool and a lifetime supply of batteries.
Rejoice! Good times ahead for all!
Matt: PJRBJr was able to push through these EO reversals because of the emergency powers act due to the NG incursion into DC. That's why he had to did it right away before Marshall Law is lapsed and ANTIFA is allowed to resume security of the national monuments.

Aside from the stupidity, a given with the bedpan commando, the mask mandate is helpful as it identifies the sheep. I wonder if, once everyone is immunized, masks will continue ?
I especially like the cute cotton ones with the pictures. Useless in preventing infection but stylish.
