I agree with that perspective. With the exception of Kamala, I think there are many Ds that could fill the role. Most obvious is Gaven Newsome governor of CA. I think he is really the only one and CA voters would gladly vote for him if he would leave the state. https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article284398415.html Californians worry about deficit, state’s direction. How it affects Gavin Newsom’s popularity mspart

She is a joke. Normally a press secretary is someone to not be contended with. Karine is a joke. Even Psaki was better than her. You didn't mess with her. mspart

I disagree. They had a plea bargain for 13 months that got added to until it was 18 months. They were in agreement. Then after the plea deal was over, they wanted to add on to that anther charge and another 22 months. They had already won. There was no need to go further. I'm blaming the DOJ for not abiding by their agreement. The man took his own life and that is bad. But he was brought there by unscrupulous DOJ attorneys that for them enough was not enough. DOJ did not kill him but presented him with the reasoning to do so by not being men/women of their word and trying to pile on. They did not kill him but I think it is clear that he would not have done so if they hadn't changed the terms of the agreement. And to braves, show where he was charged with destruction of property and I'll take back my "moot point". Otherwise it is a moot point to discuss tapping a window. The article made clear that he did not storm the capitol. I notice you don't mention that. You say he was charged with it. Well, he was not charged with destruction of property because he did not destroy property. You are just cherry picking what you want to read? mspart

Trump lies, Biden exaggerates. No way the 25th amendment is invoked until Biden is completely unable to think or speak. And even then, I see similarities with the movie DAVE. They won't give up on him until he dies. As long as he is on life support, all will be good. With all the big shots giving him their unending love and support, he will be on the ballot in November. mspart

Yes the cheap fake excuse was an albatross. And everyone knew it when it was proffered. It has been apparent for a long time that he is getting worse. And for his aides to have to say, "that man has so much energy I can hardly keep up with him. And how he runs meetings is amazing, he is really engaged" Well, that is not what we see. When we seen him he walks like an old man, talks like an old man, falls down like an old man, and wanders off like an old man. So to try to tell us he is somehow miraculously different behind closed doors is stretching credulity. But I believe the CNN pundits actually believed all that drivel because they were stunned right after the debate. STUNNED. They drank the kool aid and it was soooooooooooooooooo apparent. Somehow they thought he was better than he has been showing the last few years. I don't understand. The emperor had no clothes and they all believed it. That is as close an analogy for this I can figure. mspart

Dude, if he wasn't charged with it, then he can't be jailed for it. It is moot to discuss this because he wasn't charged with it. mspart

Biden said so. And we know that there are things that Biden knows and one of those is how to tell the truth. He told us so after the debate where he lied an awful lot. mspart

Oh the Ds are in trouble. mspart

Was he charged with destruction of property? mspart

Yes, that's it! mspart

Watched Midway last night. Good movie and I'm wondering if they actually encountered that kind of flak from the Japanese. Pretty brutal for sure. mspart

It is apparent if you read this that he did nothing deserving 4 years time. He was there and not much else. He was happy with 18 months, but more than doubling that to 4 years for not doing anything originally charged with. They brought that up after the plea deal. Dirty pool. mspart

Not nearly that cool! mspart

I'm guessing Hawaii will go D, and even though WA is kind of sort of trending in a conservative direction a little, I think they will vote D as well as OR and CA. So maybe 46. mspart

No it didn't. Thank you for sharing. We can see from this how DOJ dispatched their duties. mspart

I vehemently disagree. I disagree so much I'm over taxed and need a nap with my comfy pillow. mspart

Good info. mspart

But those are not the very uber smart bureaucrats that braves is talking about. Those were just some lackeys that made an obvious mistake. That water looks horrible. Good thing it wasn't those cracker jack bureaucrats. mspart

The agencies aren't going away. But the regulations that are challenged and shown not to comport with actual law will/may be going away. Big difference. mspart

I'll be watching out for that. mspart

Braves, So what you are saying is that Congress doesn't know what they are doing so the administrative state, who supposedly does know what they are doing, has to create law that Congress never authorized. That is exactly what SCOTUS objected to. mspart

Looks like a 50-50 split between Biden and Trump. Here's one: Both candidates erred on Social Security, with Biden incorrectly saying that Trump “wants to get rid” of the program, and Trump falsely alleging that Biden will “wipe out” Social Security due to the influx of people at the border. Paying illegals SS money that they have never paid into is unsustainable now that receipts are lower than outlays. Here's another: Trump overstated how much food prices have risen due to inflation. Prices are up by about 20%, not double or quadruple. Yeah, this was wrong and I caught that right as he said it. Another: Biden repeated his misleading claim that billionaires pay an average federal tax rate of 8%. That White House calculation factors in earnings on unsold stock as income. So each man told some fibs. And plenty of them. mspart

TPT excels that this level of denseness. mspart

Dullards. Now there is a word not often used. mspart

Is there anyone here that disagrees with the assertion that the above should not be the case? I would think any reasonable person would say this is not right. Even a 4th grader should be able to see this. mspart
