She was done in 14 hours.

I believe in the Constitution. But I think our federal legislators need to Amend the 5th Amendment a bit more to make it more precise as to what a "public good" is. Just getting tax dollars from a piece of property and we are likely to see more Kelo decisions. And for the record, 20 years later, nothing is standing on the land where Kelo's pink house once stood. Nothing. She paid property taxes, there is now nothing there. I suppose Pfizer pays property taxes on an empty lot if they bought it????

Killing Arabs is fine as long as we don’t pay too much to do it. I don’t mind supporting Israel, but not just give them money. It should be a loan since their debt to gdp ratio is less than theirs. They can borrow to fund their war, not us.

If the president was having an off day, meetings could be scrapped altogether. On one such occasion, in the spring of 2021, a national security official explained to another aide why a meeting needed to be rescheduled. “He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow,” the former aide recalled the official saying.

Bad days, two months into office. And half the people on this board would have voted to re-elect him to the Presidency. The writers for National Review said it best....

For now, however, there is no getting around the revolting fact that we have been subjected to four years of a farcical semi-presidency, one whose drift is now so easily explained by the simple fact that Biden was little better than a front for an unelected committee of “top men” who sent us careening from one international and domestic disaster to another. We now discover that Biden was all along a mere shell of a president, a babbling Lear whose shameful dotage was kept in more carefully guarded secrecy.

Top. Men.

I wouldn’t trust my government to commit mass murder on people who pose no threat to us whatsoever. That’s where that whole propaganda thing comes in to get enough suckers to support it so the MIC oligarchs can keep making bank.

Lol at douchebags like this who held their hands over their eyes, ears and mouth for years just so that criticism of Biden could be framed politically as conspiracy theory, and the excuse he gives now was “they made me feel bad for asking questions.” Fuck right off. And you know the only reason he’s even acknowledging this now is not really because he feels he failed as a journalist, but simply to set up a narrative that he he will “make it right, by really changing deeply and personally, and from now on we’re really gonna get all inside the President’s asshole guys! Yeah! Fuck Trump!” So fucking transparent and corrupt.

Joe is sharp as a tack..

That is exactly correct.

The 4th Estate is a 5th Column for the DNC.

When you've got IB in your camp you should probably start thinking about changing camps...

Those same people leading the charge about non elected people running the government

I mean 99.99% of government workers are non-elected. The entire cabinet, the entire federal judiciary, everybody who works in every cabinet department, agency, bureau, commission. The elected clowns in Congress can't even tie their shoes, I'd say get rid of them before the people who do actual work every day...

The entire point of the media, our "fourth estate" is to bless out political corruption and expose things to ordinary people so we can make appropriate political decisions in self-government. Instead, we have a complicit media that works in conjunction with the DNC to make sure their elected officials are above any critical inquiry. The 99.99% of non-elected workers, 95% of them work for the President. He has sole authority to hire and fire. So it is critical that the 4th estate informs the people if the President has Alzheimer's Disease as Joe Biden does (and has had it since Spring of 2021.) They knew. They knew and they didn't do that because they didn't want to jeopardize his chances at re-election, That is because the members of our 4th estate, voted for him.

The elected clowns in congress, at least one of those clowns, you voted for them. Those clowns are supposed to be competent enough to understand the workings of the world and to properly regulate it with federal law. My clown congressman CAN do that (but you wont listen to him, neither will any democrats in congress.) Can YOUR clown write a bill or understand anything? Who is YOUR clown?

I assume you will not answer that question mostly because you wont read it. But I will say this. We have these elected clowns who are mostly incompetent because people (like you) refuse to do your due diligence to look for and vote for competent legislators. So we are stuck with mostly clowns. And these clowns know that they don't fucking know anything and they are too old and too prideful to admit that. So instead, these clowns create bullshit agencies to do their jobs for them because they are not competent enough to regulate. And that is your 99.99%, 95% of which, work for a man with Alzheimer's (but very soon it will be Donald Trump.)

Harris should be POTUS right now. She should have been POTUS in Spring of 2021 with the 25th Amendment. But no one said anything and those who did, were shamed and shunned and discredited and fired.

Bless your little fiercely independent anarchist heart...

Everyone complained Trump had bad judgement, was impulsive and belligerent. He wouldn’t listen to anyone. They were scared of him coming back for 4 more years. Then he surrounds himself with some of the most accomplished people in the world and now he is a spineless puppet.

Exactly.

As a Trump supporter and Trump voter, I can say the worst thing he did in his first term was spending too much time listening to his adult children. They were not in line with what Trump wanted done in government. So now, hopefully, with Jared Kushner nowhere near the White House, now maybe we can get that wall built and make changes that can't be so quickly undone by the next POTUS.

kushner was horrible - hurt Trump's credibility

Chris Christie was Trump's friend. The AG should have been, Chris Christie. He was a prosecutor. But Kushner told the secret service and the White House Chief of Staff, keep Christie the fuck out of the White House. And why? Because Christie prosecuted and incarcerated Jared Kushner's father. So right there, Jared Kushner used all his clout and power with his father in law, to prevent the best man to be the AG. And my party lost a senate seat when they put Jeff Sessions in the job. Bad. Bad bad.

The kids have to go. Trump was getting shit done on the border and stopped because his daughter, Ivanka, cried. She cried. Daddy stop hurting these people! So he stopped.

I think President Musk is very pleased with the way this lasted CR fight went down on Friday. Dems are too. Trump, no so much. Everybody got what they wanted except him. Wonder how long before he gets tired of Musky stealing the spotlight from him (and getting everything he wants while Trump doesn't)...
