That's great that you are able to see the gross hypocrisy here.

Very early to say it's I the bag. With a new candidate, there are a lot of wild cards. However, the fact that she's a black woman does make it very difficult for her. A LOT of bigots out there that would rather see a felon rather than a minority.

Hunter has zero to do with any of this.

OK. but what's so "bizarre" about any of that (assuming that you are correct, which is a big assumption because none of us were privy to Pelosi's conversation w/ him)?

The D's are the ones that took the high road by holding one of their own accountable. The R's will roast anybody that is a Democrat and defend any Republican.

The Democrats worked with the Republicans. It wasn't mutual one bit. The Republicans were going to attack her no matter what.

The video is pretty clear. This guy is a P.O.S. and should rot the rest of his life away in prison. He had no regard whatsoever for her life and acted like an arrogant jerk the entire time. A mega lawsuit is in order and the money can come directly out of the police budget for that locality.

Probably because he had COVID and is in a weakened condition with a potentially raspy voice.

Or maybe just don't tell them that you'll shoot them at all, regardless of who's name it is in.

She did a great job from what I could see. She admitted that there was a huge failure but didn't speculate on exactly what happened since this is still being investigated. She was WAY more professional than the thugs that were attacking her and using profanity. Kudos to her for having the integrity to do the right thing by stepping down.

Looks like she resigned now. Good thing that she has the integrity to do the right thing.

It happens WAY more than what is actually documented. The cop profession attracts people that are power-hungry psychopaths. My advice to anybody is to just avoid cops. Don't talk to them, regardless of whether you are innocent or guilty. Also, avoid them in your personal life. Not only does the profession attract some nasty people, but the job makes them even worse.

They can still act professionally. They were treating her like she was the actual shooter. It was ridiculous and an embarrassment to our (once) great nation.

These Republican legislators are brutal. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Even swearing at her. I would NOT have put up with those attacks and demanded that they show some professionalism before I answer their questions. What a sad representation of the Republican party, and then people that voted for them. The entire party is following Trump's lead of populism, arrogance, dishonesty and unprofessional behavior.

What specifically is so bizarre? A candidate needs to insist on staying in until he/she decides to get out. You can't say "well, I'm thinking of dropping out" and then stay in the race because that would be political suicide.

He wasn't forced out. They did put pressure on him. Trump would NOT have done the same thing if the same thing happened to him.

Thank you President Biden for your service. Not only the last 4 years but your entire career. I speak for many Americans when I say that I appreciate your patriotism and love for your country. You put the country's best interest ahead of your own in this incredibly important moment in American history. We know that your opponent would never do something like that, regardless of his age or health.

That's great for you, but you should respect the right for others to decide to make decisions over what is or isn't inside of their body, even if it doesn't meet your opinion of "responsible."

...because nothing is 100% perfect. People make mistakes. People slip up and don't use contraception appropriately or the contraception fails. It isn't YOUR place to force them to keep the fetus in their body or tell them that they have to remain a virgin unless they are "officially ready" to have kids.

People have sex and conception is never 100%. You need to wake up and realize that sex is a basic human desire and you can never stop it 100% just because somebody isn't ready to get pregnant. You need to live in the real world. Besides, even if somebody slips up and their condom breaks, YOU still don't have the right to tell a woman that she has to keep the fetus inside of her body. Nobody has that right. YOU are not God.

It's a fetus. You want me to call it a baby? Really? That's how ridiculous you're getting? By trying to force women to have a fetus inside of her body you are taking a disgusting moral (or lack thereof) road and should be ashamed of yourself. I actually value human life and would NEVER have an abortion if were pregnant (which I of course never have or never will be). However, I respect the right of others to have autonomy over their bodies and have the moral code to not impose my personal opinions upon others.

You'd have to make it taxpayer-funded, but that won't fly either because there are proven side effects and somebody can always say "well, I'm deciding to get pregnant" in order to get off the pills.

Will Hunter Biden's case get thrown out now? I believe that was a special counsel too. Nah. That corrupt judge was careful to make sure her particular reasoning (not being confirmed by the Senate) didn't apply to Biden's special counsel.

Not as dedicated to winning as the Republicans. Republicans will do WHATEVER it takes. Democrats will only go so far. I actually wish they could match the aggressiveness, political savvy and cut-throat style of the Republicans.

I don't see much evidence for that personally, but I wouldn't put it past the GOP, in general, to do whatever it takes to win. I have to give your party credit. You are incredibly resourceful, organized and are willing to any level to win. Shows a lot of determination and drive.
