The Morning Report — 2/9/24

Good morning, kids. Once more the disgusting fiasco of a corrupt justice system as can be seen reflected in the situations now facing former president Donald Trump and current rotting vegetable of a corrupt pervert puppet Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden.

For Trump, he seems to be on the verge of a significant victory as was seen at SCOTUS yesterday. With the exception of Kentanji Brown-25, all of the others at a minimum looked askance at the shyster arguing for Colorado's removal of Trump from the ballot while Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh napalmed the crap out of him. Obviously, if Trump wins this he remains on the ballot in every state. This might go 8-1 or likely 6-3. Yet if it does go that way, it would be to give Lefties ammunition to declare SCOTUS illegitimate and boost their calls to expand it. But, I do think this does go 8-1 with Affirmative Action Jackson being the lone vote because, young gifted furry and black.

In any case, the fact that they're attempting to remove him from the ballot for supposedly inciting an insurrection based on a complete wrong reading of the 14th Amendment and more to the point despite the fact that he was neither convicted nor even put on trial in the first place is disgusting. There was no insurrection, he never called for one and whatever violence took place on 1/6 at the Capitol was planned and instigated by agents provocateur or even agents themselves of the DOJ and Capitol Police. I hope this causes a domino effect in terms of the naked Stalinist show trials of Jack Smith, but with DC being a completely rigged town, the verdict is no doubt already in.

As far as Biden is concerned, yesterday was even more of a fiasco. It turned into No Reasonable Prosecutor 2: Shield the Pervert Criminal Boogaloo.

You remember Uncle Leo from Seinfeld, whose defense to shoplifting was “I’m an old man, I’m confused.” Didn’t work for him in the bookstore, but it worked for Joe Biden in the Special Counsel investigation into his deliberate retention of classified documents.

Special counsel Robert Hur has declined to prosecute [spurious] President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents, but said Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security” and added that Biden portrayed himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” who would be sympathetic to a jury.“

Our investigation uncovered evidence that [spurious] President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report said, but added that the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Hur’s report included several shocking lines about Biden’s memory, which the report said “was significantly limited” during his 2023 interviews with the special counsel. Biden’s age and presentation would make it more difficult to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the now-81-year-old was guilty of willfully committing a crime.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” it said. “Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

. . . You can read the full report here.

Yes, of course it reeks of hypocrisy vis-a-vis Trump. I taped a segment on Jesse Kelly show that will run tonight pointing out the one obvious difference in the cases, that there’s no allegation Biden played hide-and-seek with the documents once the feds sought them (which is the allegation against Trump in the Florida case, which I have long argued is his most serious risk). But still, it’s hard not to see that in the Trump records case the feds did their best to find a reason to indict him, whereas in the Biden records case they did their best to find a reason not to indict Biden — including the Uncle Leo Defense.

Two things: First, Donald Trump is being prosecuted for alleged mishandling of documents despite the fact that as president it was his purview to declassify and keep whatever documents he wanted. And from what I understand, whatever documents were in his possession were indeed secure, the bullshit of him holding a top secret file up to a TV camera notwithstanding.

Biden on the other hand took and stored boxes of classified documents in several un-secure locations (and likely was selling them to the highest bidder), while he was Obama's vice president. And that is completely illegal as he had zero authority to do so.

Aside from the fact that being demented does not, in theory, get you off the hook as Ace detailed in his post last night, Joey's document thievery took place 10 or more years ago. So does the Uncle Leo defense still apply? Whatever his mental state back then was, it certainly was orders of magnitude more "with it" than it is today.

Regardless, Hur pulling a Comey and stating that he's likely guilty but won't be prosecuted is par for the course in Tijada, Parador, San Marcos or whatever banana republic we want to call ourselves now. And legal eagle William Jacobson referring to him as "Joey Bananas" is so perfect a name with multiple meanings I'm jealous as hell I didn't come up with it.

With the border crisis hanging around the Democrats' collective neck despite the GOPe throwing them lifelines, the economy in shambles as everyone believes their lying eyes and wallets over Karine Carpet-Muncher Pierre's claims, and multiple exploding regional wars threatening to blow up the world, they still let Joe Bananas go in front of the TV cameras — Live and unscripted.

{So-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden took to the microphone for an unannounced address on Thursday night, following the release of the politically devastating Special Counsel report that said he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." While the report stated that such actions "present serious risks to national security,” Biden will not face charges because he presents himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of willfulness.” The report elaborated by pointing out he couldn’t even remember when he was vice president and didn’t even remember when his son Beau died.

The address was scheduled for 7:45 p.m. but did not actually get underway until around 8 — well past his usual 7 p.m. bedtime.  I can't explain how or why Biden's handlers felt it was a good idea to trot him out at night to talk about the special counsel report, but it did not go well. He was belligerent and defensive, and it was a terrible look. When he addressed the report claiming that he couldn't remember when his son died, it really got bad.

 "How in the hell dare he raise that," Biden said angrily, concluding that it is "none of their damn business."

"For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about," Biden insisted, even though the report presented direct quotes. "It has no place in this report."

Biden also blamed his staff for storing classified documents in his home, office, and garage, insisting, "I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff would do!" "The bottom line is the matter is now closed, and I can continue what I've always focused on: my job of being the president of the United States of America."

Making the situation worse was when he decided to take questions from reporters. Amazingly, Fox News's Peter Doocy was the first to ask a question.

"President Biden, something that the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because, in his description, you are a 'well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.'"

"I am well-meaning! I am an old man, and I know what the hell I'm doing," Biden insisted. "I've been president, and I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation."

"How good is your memory, and can you continue as president?" Doocy followed up.

"My memory is so bad, I let you speak," Biden said, trying to make a joke about a very serious issue.

Biden defiantly declared, "I'm the most qualified person in this country to be the president of the United States."

It got worse from there. All hell seemed to break loose as reporters shouted to get questions in.

A reporter noted that Americans have been watching him and are concerned about his age. A confused and angry Biden shouted back, "That is your judgment!" Biden defiantly declared, "I'm the most qualified person in this country to be the president of the United States."

When Biden finally had enough and told everyone he was leaving, he ended up coming back to the podium to address a question about the situation in the Middle East—and proceeded to refer to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the "President of Mexico."

Whoever decided to let Joe Biden out tonight to speak to the nation should be fired.

Well, in a sane world, yes. But in a sane world, a man who was for sure mentally impaired four years ago should never have been allowed to run for office. That mirrors the complete lack of any kind of morality or humanity from Biden's wife and family. But that is quite obviously a Biden family trait passed on in the blood and even marriage. Of course, if the 2020 election wasn't rigged, Biden would've been and probably was blown out in as close to a landslide that we can have these days given the electoral landscape.

The naked, shameless will to power of the Democrats meant trotting this old pervert vegetable to be their puppet was perfectly acceptable, despite the fact that his geriatric senescence, and stumbling up and down AF-1's stairs when not shambling around aimlessly like a Roomba-Dalek that blew a fuse sent a message to friend and foe alike.

As far as the 2024 election is concerned, Biden's performance along with Hur's report are the "wafer thin mint" on top of the border catastrophe and all the rest that will only make a lot or a significant number of Democrats and anyone else with eyes to see will seal Biden's and his party's fate. The tell is the calls that have been growing for Biden to step aside going back even before yesterday's flaming farce.

However repulsed the aforementioned are by Biden, I don't think they're suddenly going to jump en masse on the Trump train. But they likely will sit this one out as their personal financial situation and the border deteriorates as they most certainly will before this coming November.

Can Trump keep his fat yap shut about 2020 and not step on his own schlong with things like calling off the tremendous culture war victory that is the Bud Lite boycott? I hope so, but there again it's hope over experience. His own big mouth is his worst enemy. Still, while for political expediency it might be best to sidestep 2020, it must not be either forgotten nor forgiven. That said, with all the show trials popping at once, it certainly is an issue that he's going to have to and of course will expound upon in the press. How he does it will either seal the deal or turn people off. I'll leave that to the experts and all of you to formulate that strategy.

Meanwhile, Joey Bananas still has the nuclear codes. And before you go off and say that the Kalorama Klown Komintern are really the ones in charge, Biden's mental state and his still functioning innate ego might lead him to cut Geppetto's strings if he feels threatened. Oh boy!

Could Joe Biden bomb Iran? There are loud calls by some members of Congress and pundits to do this in response to the surge in attacks by Iranian proxy groups against U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria and shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Some thought it was telling last weekend when National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan refused to rule out a U.S. attack on Iran during a press interview.

But why would anyone be calling for American airstrikes against Iran? Why didn’t the massive U.S. airstrikes against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria last week and the 14 or more U.S. airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen halt their attacks?

The answer to both questions is that American deterrence in the Middle East has seriously eroded during the Biden [junta] . . .

. . . Worried about criticism from his progressive supporters, Biden and his senior national security officials have pressed the Israeli government to end the war quickly and agree to a peace plan based on the two-state solution. Israeli officials have rejected ending the war before it can guarantee Israel’s security and defeat Hamas. They have also said two-state solution peace plans are off the table due to the October 7 attack. . .

. . . There have also been press reports of growing tension between Biden and Netanyahu, including the president abruptly ending a December 23 phone call with the Israeli leader, Netanyahu repeatedly rejecting Biden’s calls for Palestinian sovereignty, and a report that Biden was running out of patience with Netanyahu.

In addition, until recently, the Biden administration did little in response to attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed militias and over two dozen missile and drone attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. . .

. . . There have also been press reports of growing tension between Biden and Netanyahu, including the president abruptly ending a December 23 phone call with the Israeli leader, Netanyahu repeatedly rejecting Biden’s calls for Palestinian sovereignty, and a report that Biden was running out of patience with Netanyahu.

These are serious questions that Congress should insist the Biden Administration answer before a possible attack against Iran. I believe that regardless of whether one believes congressional authorization for an attack on Iran is legally required, the president would be wise to seek it anyway because congressional debate and endorsement of such a serious action would give it much more credibility.

Given the Biden [junta's] efforts to appease Iran, I believe it is unlikely that the President would order an attack on Iranian territory or other offensive actions against Iran. But given Biden’s low approval ratings, I am worried that a desperate “wag the dog” attack on Iran to distract Americans from the president’s political problems at home cannot be ruled out. Congress must keep a sharp eye out for this and demand that it approve any U.S. attack on Iran or Iranian forces.

Fred Fleitz's analysis is sound, but Biden is now personally under the gun, vis a vis his obvious mental deterioration and perhaps a paranoia in his draining brain case that might lead him to do something rash.

Already the 25th amendment is being invoked by the GOP, and considering the political situation does not favor the Democrats mostly because of Biden, they might at some point soon or even during the convention signal the bullpen.

Biden I am sure will not react kindly to that. Demented or not, he knows where the skeletons are.

Legislation to address the issue — the Railway Safety Act — was introduced in the Senate in March 2023. However, the bill has faced strong opposition from railroad industry lobbyists who claim it would actually inhibit the introduction of new safety measures.

25 I can't explain how or why Biden's handlers felt it was a good idea to trot him out at night to talk about the special counsel report, but it did not go well. He was belligerent and defensive, and it was a terrible look. When he addressed the report claiming that he couldn't remember when his son died, it really got bad.

"How in the hell dare he raise that," Biden said angrily, concluding that it is "none of their damn business."

"For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about," Biden insisted, even though the report presented direct quotes. "It has no place in this report."

Thanks, JJ. That sentence above in particular caught my eye in light of the Mark Steyn verdict. These juries are insane; rather they’re corrupt. Justice cannot be had in DC NY and like environs. Alvin Bragg’s case is a dumpster fire but Trump will be convicted. He’ll be convicted in the other cases being brought by the feds if they ever go to trial. He’s gonna have to pardon himself after he wins…. The Fani case maybe he’ll avoid conviction because of all that he nonsense that Ace has written about so hilariously….

69 He was an old man and he had been out to sea for as long as anyone could remember and his face was lined like a worn purse and looking at his eyes was like looking at the bottom of the ocean, a vast emptiness. As the Romans say, we die like trees, from the top down, and he had been perishing in this way for years. His wife was a gawping, nagging, sun-ruined shrew with a fake degree and a foul mouth. His son--the one still living--was a wastrel in whose wake bobbed whores, narcotics, and self-pity.

With Harris, TPTB can take her to a back room and explain to her in absolute terms what will happen to her and her family if she doesn't cooperate. She's at least mentally stable enough (relatively speaking) to grasp the consequences of too much defiance.

FJB is past the point of understanding or caring what happens to him or his family. He'll do whatever the hell he feels like doing and no one can tell him otherwise.

74 Already the 25th amendment is being invoked by the GOP, and considering the political situation does not favor the Democrats mostly because of Biden, they might at some point soon or even during the convention signal the bullpen.
++++
If the knives are actually out for Biden, this is my suspicion. If I try to play some multi-dimensional chess in my head, it could go something like this:

1. Knock out Biden due to his mental state and gamble on the cheat being enough to drag in the next guy in November as well as flip Congress and reinforce the Senate.
2a. If the both parts of the gamble fail, make war against Trump with the administrative state just like last time.
2b. If only the first part of the gamble fails, seat Trump and pretend that it's business as usual. Have the spies in his inner circle monitor him closely and breathlessly leak every stumble and moment of fatigue.
3. Once there are enough reports, they 25th him, precedent having been established with Biden (whether they actually 25th Biden or not, the groundwork is laid). Whoever Trump chooses as VP, that person will be preferable to the Party.

Lots of tinfoil in that, though.

82 willowed and reposted from last thread.

It's incredible to realize every single thing we've been taught for 50+ years has been a complete lie:
----------------

Speaking of, I just learned that Gloria Steinham, second wave feminist leader, was a CIA agent.

“The reason I think that comes as a surprise, as it did to me at the time, I had the conventional liberal view of the CIA as a right wing, incendiary group and I was amazed to discover that this was far from the case. That they were enlightened, liberal, non-partisan activists of the sort who characterized the Kennedy administration.”

Man, what a rabbit hole. Turns out the Rockefeller Foundation was directly involved in the 2nd wave feminism push on the other side of the coin.

Spoiler alert: Half the population wasn't being taxed, and children were being taught morals by their stay-at-home parents and not schools and babysitters.

Fuck the biaised, rightwing, corporatist press. THROW THE FUCKERS OUT ON THEIR ASS. CHIMPY AND TFG HAD NO PROBLEM DOING IT, TIME FOR A TASTE OF THEIR OWN GODDAMN MEDICINE.

With Biden’s sterling performance at the press conference, I think the press unwittingly helped him. Even Doocey helped Biden. The press made Biden look good, and it even casts doubt in the public about the veracity of Hur’s claims.

Exactly. What I saw last night was a lucid and intelligent man went before a room full of rude, shouting, aggressive media types, not journalists and certainly not interested in hearing anything except some juicy details, and answered their questions.

NPR is painting it as "he's too old and forgetful". Especially that fucking Mara Liasson. She's way past her sell by date.

This will die down soon, and Biden gets reelected and hope he fires the fuck out of milquetoast Garland right after inauguration. I would have loved to see Kamala be his Attorney General.

107 I thought the Putin interview was interesting. You should always know what your adversaries are thinking and what their position is. It's kinda curious that Democrats are having a freak out that we finally get to hear what the Russians are thinking. Overall I'm not certain Putin did himself any favors bring up history. Look at the maps from the times he was discussing. Apparently he wants to turn back the clock and take over wide swaths of Eastern Europe that were at some time in history under Russian control. That defies all logic and is dangerous. I'm sure in the mind of some countries that justifies aiding Ukraine because they're apparently next on the menu. Nonetheless, I thought the fact people form the Biden Admin keep killing negotiations was rather revealing.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at February 09, 2024 08:18 AM (yjAVs)

Back when the usual suspects were howling about doing that to Trump, I spent some time digging into the 25th process. First, it's actually much easier, in terms of process, to impeach a President than to remove him with the 25th. Second, it is written so that the Vice President has to spearhead the entire thing. If the VP isn't in on it all the way, it's impossible.

I suggested long ago that the House should offer to support Kamala in getting rid of Joe, and promise her unanimous support. I think she's just dumb enough and greedy enough to take the bait. Why make her President? Because once she's in office, there's no way for anyone else to edge her out of the way for the Dem nomination in November.

It's long been said that sitting out the election is a vote for the other guy but, given what we've seen since - probably - 2018, that might literally be the case.

If Musk wants X to be a video content provider, he has to make it better. Robust apps for Roku, Google TV, etc., would be awesome. But keeping the streams from grinding to a halt constantly is step one.

I sure as hell hope not.

I don't think some of you get that an enormous part of the reason Trump has such support is because a huge part of his base knows his election was stolen in 2020. Let me repeat that, the 2020 election was stolen. In the United States of America.

It's not just that it robbed him and us of our preferred candidate it is emblematic of the corruption at the highest levels of our government that we see play out in front of our eyes every single day. People are angry and motivated to put an end to this corruption and take our country back.

I don't want him to be silent about the corruption. I want him to shout if from the rooftops. I want it as a battle cry to energize our base, keep everyone vigilant and never allow it to happen again.

Absolutely. It's why I said from the jump that nobody else had a shot at the nomination. If it appeared that Trump had lost fairly, he'd be yesterday's news.

But they didn't bother to keep up appearances in 2020 (which some commenters may remember I predicted in 2016). So, people want that shit addressed first and foremost.

2020 happens to be THE REASON we are now living through the disasterous dismantling of the United States, thanks to cheating Democrats and complicit Republicans who are no better. If that election is honest, we'd be living in a completely different world. To claim otherwise is simply not honest. PEOPLE NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR 2020! A whole ton of them, as well for the set-up crimes committed on January 6, 2021 that has innocent LEGAL citizens rotting in gulag conditions.
And Trump shouldn't be quiet about it, because his supporters and the majority of questioned voters - including registered Independents - believe (correctly) that 2020 was stolen.
So no. NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE is not a mantra to renind, it's a call to action. And those saying that they can't do anything about 2020 are really saying they won't do anything about 2020. That's the real insult, the real rub with that so-called excuse. Fuck the Republicans! They allowed that election to be stolen, because they missed the Grift and Graft days of Dubya and Obama.

233 One more thing about the Tucker Carlson interview of Putin. Snap judgment but it made me decide Tucker should not be Trump’s VP (I don’t think he’ll be picked in any case). Who am I to criticize Carlson but IMHO he came off as a bit of a lightweight in a few moments when he laughed (almost cackled) I forgot about what. That huge laugh doesn’t convey gravitas. Putin even seemed to somewhat intimidate him. I could be wrong

303 Trump asking to lighten up on Bud is legitimate; hundreds of people - Bud employees - are losing their asses and jobs.

Personally, I will never drink another Bud of any kind because it is shitty beer to begin with among their poor marketing decisions, but I do not want legitimate employees to lose their jobs because of poor management.

Everyone cheers DeSantis types for using the force of government to interfere in a business model that government carved out for a company in the first place and I agree with the sentiment. The People will decide to reject these companies by not conducting business. At Trump understands this.

316 Abraham Lincoln, when he saw this great divide, he pondered a solution of separation. Abraham Lincoln said he never was in favor of our being jurors or having equal status with the Whites of this nation. Abraham Lincoln said that if there were to be a superior or inferior, he would rather the superior position be assigned to the White race.

There, in the middle of this mall is the Washington Monument, 555 feet high. But if we put a 1 in front of that 555 feet, we get 1555, the year that our first fathers landed on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia as slaves. In the background is the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial, each one of these monuments is 19 feet high.

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and 16 and 3 make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19! When you have a nine, you have a womb that is pregnant. And when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there’s something secret that has to be unfolded.

They would chose our president for us if they could.

The same old same old said Trump get never get peace deals in the Middle East, said moving the embassy in Israel would cause a war and said that any Middle East peace deals needed to include the Palestinians. they were wrong across the board.

A cynical take would be that he can't be the conductor of his own little reality tv orchestra of sniping and carping if there's actual bad blood out there beyond his grasp to control.

A more generous take would be that he really is a uniter who likes to play the character of a divider when he feels he needs to.

I'm going to hazard a guess there is incredible enmity between Jill and Michelle O, who I believe is the obvious replacement on the ballot. Jill is probably racist and incredibly vindictive, to the point she'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House.

Putin said several times that from his experience POTUS is not in control; he made a sly reference to our tolerance for stolen/rigged elections.

What I was most impressed with in the Putin interview is that Putin is transactional, like Trump and very much unlike the current crop of rulers.

Like Victor Orbán, Putin claims to respect the singular culture that characterizes his country and acknowledges the unifying power. 180 degrees from the Diversity that is destroying the West.

Our scoundrels make everything personal, emotional, sadistic and irrational - constantly screwing over the country for power and making scapegoats everywhere.

I don't mean just that, it's something that's been evident all through his political career. His first meetings as president were with Schumer and Pelosi, and he had a prison reform bill teed up with Schumer within, what, weeks? He worked tirelessly and efficiently to minimize military conflict and violence across the world. He let various illegitimate judicial rulings stand and tried to flow around them rather than go to war with another branch of government. Even at the very end, he stepped back and let the junta ride roughshod over law and justice and democracy rather than plunge the nation into a fully justifiable civil war.

I'm not trying to attack or defend, just saying that to me it's always looked like, despite all his bluster and bravado, despite his wading into the swamp to do battle, he really seems like he avoids conflict at all costs

386 One thing Trump points out is the 14th does not name the President, but also, it's prohibition on those who "swore an oath to support the Constitution" does not apply.

Since the president swears an oath to "defend" the Constitution.

And of course, CO tried to argue the public school education that "officer of the US" is the same as someone who holds office.

As the Justice pointed out, but the Constitution names several officers and categories of officers, but none of those included President.

407 Israeli intelligence officers have concluded that more than a fifth of the 136 individuals still held hostage by Hamas in Gaza are dead, according to a confidential assessment which found more captives have been killed than expected. The Israeli military confirmed the deaths of at least 30 of the more than 130 remaining hostages, according to a copy of the intelligence report reviewed by The New York Times. Meanwhile, unverified intelligence indicates that around 20 other captives may also be dead if unconfirmed reports prove to be true, four officials told the outlet.

Not exactly. His long, rambling history lesson made it clear he thinks the West artificially carved Ukraine out from the aftermath of WWI, and for reasons he could not explain, leaders allowed those to stand, including after 1991, when in his words, the Soviets voluntarily gave up much of their empire, for assurances from the West that NATO would not expand.

Then NATO started immediately expanding. All of which is verifiably true.

>>It didn't start in 2014. That's the point. Quit arguing when we're not in disagreement. Whoever you are posting from is trying to make it sound like it started in 2014. It didn't. And Putin did not say it did.

Of course it didn't and I have been saying that here for 2 years. It was the result of years of bad foreign policy on our part that kept expanding NATO eastward and antagonizing Russia after giving our word we wouldn't. But the color revolution was the trigger.

Don't be so nit picky this early in the day. You have all day to do that.

456 I remember when there was talk about Russia joining NATO. During Bush I think. Russians knew that Putin's interview would make a splash, be dissected and made sure everything he said was verifiable.

Putin mentioned the year - late 90's, so Clinton.

The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company, but I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see. Why not, the Radical Left does it viciously to well run, Conservative companies - and people! Very nasty, but it’s the way they play the game! On the other hand, Anheuser-Busch spends $700 Million a year with our GREAT Farmers, employ 65 thousand Americans, of which 1,500 are Veterans, and is a Founding Corporate Partner of Folds of Honor, which provides Scholarships for families of fallen Servicemen & Women. They’ve raised over $30,000,000 and given 44,000 Scholarships. Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance? What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!

460 Biden will be the DemonRat's nominee for President for all the same reasons that they ran Fetterman and a Dead guy in PA in 2020; to prove that no matter what, the Dems can count more ballots than we can cast actual votes.

461 139 I talked to a longtime 2A lawyer yesterday about Hawaii. He said he thought he'd seen it all and nothing could shock him. He was wrong. He found it "stunning" Hawaii didn't even attempt to cloak their complete disregard for the Constitution. They simply outright said it did not apply to them and their state laws and customs superseded it. It boldly stated they will not follow the US Constitution.

462 Can Trump ... not step on his own schlong with things like calling off the tremendous culture war victory that is the Bud Lite boycott?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What the... ? You call that a "tremendous culture war victory" ? Are you fucking HIGH ? The VAST majority of people don't know or care about the bud lite boycott, so having cost Bud a billion dollars in lost sales doesn't move the meter for anyone, anywhere that matters.

And *that* you're calling a "tremendous culture war victory" ?? What in the actual fuck !??

Yeah, I get a modest amount of satisfaction from the Bud Lite tranny beer situation, but that's the beginning and end of it for any kind of broader impact on the world. Good lord.

463 I believe that regardless of whether one believes congressional authorization for an attack on Iran is legally required, the president would be wise to seek it anyway because congressional debate and endorsement of such a serious action would give it much more credibility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And since when are people on the right peddling this bullshit ? We can be against forever war and sending our boys to die for nothing in every shithole in the world without thinking that the Commander in Chief decides how to prosecute war / defense without considering WTF the idiots in Congress think.

The War Powers Act is patently unconstitutional and we would be wise to not pretend otherwise when it suits us, politically.

Biden is a complete POS, but if the CiC and the military brass of the US determine it is in our interest to bomb - whoever - that's the end of it, frankly.

JJ, I thank you for doing this 5 days a week. I really don't know how you can weed through all that information without blowing a gasket. My Hungarian/Slovak temperament would be on fire by the time I was done. As it is, I need to break up my reading into segments. Otherwise, the guys in the white coats would be on my doorstep.

465 "Putin made clear in 2008 that was a red line for him and demonstrated it by invading Georgia shortly afterward. We didn't get the hint, ran the color revolution and that along with the Uke gov't declaring war on their own ethnic Russian minority led to the war.

That has always been the truth not the garbage our government and media has told us."

Jack, I really wish more people understood this. It's been the truth for a long time. So much bull shit has been scattered about and it never really explains anything other than "Russia Bad", that is why.

If AB were so rah-rah gung ho, which for sure they were AT ONE POINT, then how do they account for the hiring of someone who destroyed Bud Lite and tanked the company?

If they knew what they were doing, they're culpable. If they didn't they are manifestly irresponsible with both the stockholders and their employees.

This is war, now. I get what Trump is saying but it's too late to forgive and forget. Not when everything is on the line as it is on every level.

467 GM, all, and thanks, J. J.

Mika TV's theme last evening was Special Counsel 'gilded the lily' - as all the very worse (Navarro) Republicans do (not Coen or Pence) - saying more than enough re: FJB's age. Clicking through more stations, it was obvious Party word had gone out to play ageism, nothing more, then gradually shift to ponder FJB's age & then wrap in PDT's. If relevant to one, it must be relevant to both.

Why would the progressives stick with FJB? Easy enough, he's allowing certain areas of the Executive Branch to be rebuilt & expanded upon. (Government Executive, 2/5/24 Hiring and pay reforms accompany staffing surges in bipartisan border deal.)

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Asylum Rule transferred authority given by Congress away from immigration judges to Asylum Officers (of which +/-4000 more - most making well over $100,000, excluding benefits & locality pay, and being union represented, were being planned well prior to the current battle of the Bill.)

For now, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s “asylum rule” will move forward after a court denied the federal government’s attempt to dismiss the case.

470 I'm not at all convinced Emperor Brandon will be removed. You know Dominion already cashed the check.

He'll win regardless. Everyday Rosanne Barr Progressives who aren't voting for Trump will gladly vote for Brandon, and the national vote is irrelevant anyway. The cheat system is codified, justified, and backed by state courts.

Compliant mouthbreathers will not stand up for their freedoms.

471 It used to be Republicans had to win by a 5% margin to offset the cheat margin. Now in purple States they have to win by a much larger margin. Probably as high as 15%.
