Progressives, part 3...

I was reading an article on using the 14th amendment to keep Trump off state ballots.

It was amazing how many people believe Trump participated in an actual insurrection.  And people were saying the text doesn't require conviction, or apparently proof [because it was intended for banning Confederates].  So I guess, in a way, Trump really IS a threat to our democracy, indirectly.

Meanwhile, the Democratic media has gone from promoting the false narrative of "Russian disinformation" on the laptop, to Hunter had problems with addiction, to finally acknowledging he's a criminal.  But all those calls and dinners with the Big Guy had absolutely nothing to do with Hunter's shakedown racket.  So I guess Hunter is also a weatherman - wonder how many millions he got paid for that?

Governor of NM thinks she can suspend the constitution when she feels like it.

Well, Trump's a dictator

 "....parents could be charged with child abuse, a criminal penalty, if they object to their child’s “preferred pronouns.”

Essentially, the move will make it a crime for a parent to “misgender” their own kids.

Don’t call them groomers though. Virginia Dems big mad that Younkin pardoned a guy who was standing up for his daughter who was sexually assaulted by a tranny and then covered up by the school board.

LOL!

Did anyone see clips of Biden today talking about going to bed?  Mumbling rambling incoherence.  If he wasn't POTUS, it'd probably go in the WTF? thread.

Starting to look like he's maxed out the meds and there's no masking his cognitive decline any more.

A couple days ago he was talking incoherently and they just turned the music off and announced the press conference over. I’m also old enough to remember when everyone was complaining about how much vacation a president took.

The family and his handlers should be arrested for elder abuse, but as long as they can use him to keep the radical leftist agenda going and the foreign payments coming they will.

He's gotten noticeably worse the past few months, and I don't think he's really even ramped-up campaigning.

No way they can put him out on anything close to a normal campaign schedule.  And Kamala can't carry the weight.  I'll be shocked if they don't dump her for Gavin Newsome.  Will be interesting to see how they pull that off with the woke left, even if they don't even like her.

No way he’s up for a campaign schedule.  Imagine him in a debate.

They’re all corrupt… sucks to get caught!

You guys always claim Dems aren't subject to laws.  So why'd this guy get charged?

Had to be extraordinarily brazen and/or stupid.  I can't recall a single other federal congressperson getting indicted recently.  I'm sure it's happened, but I'm not aware of another case at least in the last 30 years

Like, I don't think Dementia Joe and his crackhead son were smart or careful, but clearly meeting the burden of proof has been very difficult there.

None of that really aligns with all the indictments at the state and local level.  I think once the DC swamp rats "admit you to the club", they teach you how to graft and avoid scrutiny, much less legal liability.  The Clintons were masters at going right up to the line and not crossing it (and complete opposite of the Bidens as far as intelligence and cleverness).

He must have pissed someone off. And I think it’s pretty obvious there are two justice systems. You got Jan 6er a getting 17 years, some old women getting 15 for standing in front of an abortion clinic, and then murders getting 5 years (guy that ran over a kid drunk said he thought he was alt right).

In other funny news, the guy who got his bicep blown off in Kenosha got hit by a car in a cross walk the other day.

Which reminds me - we're still seeing a wrongful death by cop every month or two, but we're not seeing the usual BLM riots.  There have been protests, sure, but tended to be more local and short-lived.  And the two recent deaths in the news were beyond brutal - 6+ officers literally beating the guy to death.

Makes one wonder how much the usual suspects have toned things down because there's a Democrat in the WH.  And/or because even Dem voters have taken notice of the uptick in violent crime.

Plus Menendez is expendable; the democrat NJ governor will appoint another democrat, so US senate makeup does not change.

Again, not sure why anyone would be surprised as we've often talked how most congress persons probably score highly on the sociopath scale.

But this Menendez guy is something else.  Sat there and told the media he keeps $500k in the house for "emergencies".  Not sure how he explained the gold bars.

Also heard a new defense today that I'd assume must also apply to the Bidens - tipping people on non-classified info might not be a crime.  And I'm going to assume that "pretending" to sell influence also might not be a crime.

He hired Hunter's bribery attorney as well.  Tidy.

So Dems continue to pretend this is an impeachment hearing and not an inquiry. Yes, there's no evidence for an impeachment [highly debatable] - but that's the point of having an inquiry when your investigation is stonewalled.

And they also continue to introduce evidence and anecdotes related...to Donald Trump.  I'm guessing because trying to defend and equivocate on Weatherman Hunter or Quid Pro Joe sounds bad even to them.

At least keep your gaslighting focused on the subject at hand...
