Yo Lefties! Last week you were posting pictures of congressional reps eating popcorn while getting ready for the Speaker votes. So who's eating popcorn and watching the dem circus this week - eh, motherfucks? Stabenow calls Biden comments on Trump documents ‘embarrassing’ https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday...den-comments-on-trump-documents-embarrassing/
As I said yesterday, the dems that want to move Biden along will not come out and diss him but will show a greater willingness to look at things in the name of fairness and "letting the process work." The clown below is one of a growing crowd who will not defend Joe or throw him a lifeline either because they are gaming out 2024. Schiff says it’s possible national security was jeopardized with Biden documents https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday...ecurity-was-jeopardized-with-biden-documents/
Always amazing how these lefty media dem bootlickers will frame an issue and what they will run for headlines. Yeah sure, Joe is the model- the gold standard- for how to handle classified documents. The article also has some very pithy and damning comments from Chris Stewart about Biden's actions. Both Stewart and Goldman are Congressmen. So why did CBS choose to run a lead-in headline based on Goldman's comments rather than Stewarts? NEVER FRIGGING MIND. I GOT IT. FACE THE NATION Goldman says Biden administration is "doing things by the book" on classified documents https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/new...k-biden-classified-documents-face-the-nation/
They were doing things by the book by leaving them in the garage for at least 6 years? Was this process Vetted?
The additional issue is that until DeSantis officially gets off the fence on whether to run or not... there is a lot of confusion among other possible Republican candidates. DeSantis uncertainty freezes 2024 Republican field The GOP's 2024 freeze https://www.axios.com/2023/01/15/the-gops-2024-freeze Questions about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' political resilience — and fears of going toe-to-toe with former President Trump — have all but frozen the 2024 Republican field, delaying most of the leading prospects' timelines for entering the race. Why it matters: Despite dominating polling among Republicans looking for a Trump alternative, DeSantis hasn't been tested in the klieg lights of a presidential election. His Republican detractors see him as a paper tiger who lacks the charisma necessary for a national campaign. "Everyone not named DeSantis is having a hard time figuring out their way around him. So they are waiting for him to screw up or fade," said Republican strategist Scott Jennings. "So far, he's doing neither." "No one wants to take slings and arrows from Trump," said another adviser to a top 2024 contender. "Whether they get in early or late isn't going to matter if they have a built-in network of donors." State of play: DeSantis himself is unlikely to make a final decision about running for president until at least May, after Florida's legislative session ends. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who spent the holidays with family discussing his future political plans, isn't planning to make any presidential announcement soon. "It's in his interest to wait longer. He's always available as an option later," one top Pence adviser told Axios, calling him "a known commodity." Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is at the start of a critical legislative session that will determine whether he can secure conservative policy victories with a divided legislature. Any Youngkin presidential decision would come later in the process. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will be one of the first Republicans out of the gate. She's already staffing up her future presidential operation, with top advisers making plans to move to her home base of South Carolina. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's book comes out on Jan. 24, and he's heading on a nationwide tour to promote it over the next couple of months. Any presidential announcement wouldn't come until May at the earliest, according to those familiar with his thinking. Between the lines: DeSantis is already taking some hits on his right flank from South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem over abortion. Florida currently has a 15-week abortion ban in place, but pro-life activists have been advocating for stricter limits. At the same time, DeSantis has offered more red meat for the MAGA movement lately — including calling for COVID-19 vaccine makers to be investigated for potential wrongdoing. By trying to maneuver to Trump's right, DeSantis could be opening up space for a more pragmatic conservative to gain momentum. Reality check: Even with a lackluster start to his campaign, Trump is still the Republican front-runner in primary polls. A Morning Consult presidential primary tracking poll found Trump's support declining only four points — from 50% to 46% — since his announcement in November. He's planning to hold his first campaign event of the year in South Carolina this month — encroaching on Haley's home turf. (South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is also considered a possible presidential candidate.) The bottom line: We're likely to see a historically slow start to a presidential campaign, with many "known unknowns" about the size and nature of the field. The first Republican primary debate for the 2016 presidential election was held in August 2015. Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dropped out that September. By January 2019, nine Democratic presidential candidates had already declared campaigns against Trump.
Entertainment Alert! Former National Security Director Johnny Ratcliffe is on Fox. And he just said that "Karine Jean Pierre needs to start changing her mantra from "Joe Biden takes classified documents seriously" to just "Joe Biden takes classified documents." That, my friends, is good sh#t right theya.
I guess so. Although I process it differently but end out in the same place so whatever. I don't buy into the bit about DeSantis having fear of going head to head with Trump. I do think he has a well-founded fear that that is not the best strategy and the best strategy is let Trump do what he has to do and continue to see how that works out for him- or not. In other words come in as late as he can and let the polls "draft him." The risk of course is that if he stands back early that Trump will be off to a roar early. Okay fine. But it is a risk that I think he should and is taking. Also, the weeks are going by and he is not seeing "the roar" from Trump or in the polls either so he has some rationale on his side. DeSantis has high standing in the country now among republicans so I don't think he wants it bad enough to stand up there like one of thirty clowns like the dems do and then get whittled down or be like Joe Biden running when 2/3 of the country does not want him to run. He has his own little fiefdom going and will need to see the republicans digest Trump's current status and see a high level of interest- already visible- from republican voters. Let Trump be Trump for a few more months and see how that is going. No emergency here for DeSantis. The wife's health is a factor too. Right now, I am thinking Marianne Williamson is a real threat to Biden.
No, they'll just go on about how "Trump-like" the candidates are. Just like they do with Ron DeSantis.
