Pushovers and pileups.


 If you are a democrat and you are pissed off at how the republicans pushed through Amy (I have never tried a case) Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Do not look to one of your senate leaders, Dianne Feinstein, to show some fight on your behalf. 

This is what she told Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the senate Judiciary Committee, today: 

"I just want to thank you. This is one of the best set of hearings that I've participated in. Thank you so much for your leadership." * Me puking* 

Keep in mind that this is the same Lindsey Graham who declared that Amy (I never tried a case) Coney Barrett's seat with the rest of the supremes is a  fait accompli. Or that this same Lindsey Graham, just a day ago, made reference to the "good old days of segregation" during the hearings.  This is why I can't ride with dumbocrats. They are such pushovers. America has pretty much become a one party country. No wonder Donald trump has become so emboldened.  

Anyway, enough of  Feinstein, hopefully her days in Washington are numbered. 

Let's  ruminate a little bit about how the president of the United States was boasting today about ordering the killing of an American citizen. Or, how a major television network decided to appease a cry baby president by giving him a town hall style meeting with voters in Miami tonight. Of course the  media will spend very little time on these stories, because they are always looking to move on to the next trump soundbite.

Sadly, the American people will never get the benefit of real journalists serving them. Because, at the end of the day, all they care about is money and their ratings. You better believe that they are all cheering for trump and hoping he wins the presidency. They rely on his buffoonery and outlandish behavior to drive up their ratings, and keep their programming going. You could literally talk about the crazy shit that he does all day, and at times it seems like that's all they do. 

I will be watching both debates tonight. (Thanks DVR). But rest assured that most people will be watching trump. NBC's ratings will double that of ABC. It makes sense if you think about it. I mean what would you most likely be rubbernecking on the highway? A person on the side of the road with a simple flat tire? Or, a multi-car pileup with numerous fatalities?

This is just PART of Trump's October Surprise:

Yawn - I'm still waiting for the report from the two guys Trump sent to Hawaii twelve years ago to prove Obama was not a U,S. citizen. And yawn, I'm still waiting for that "perp" walk" thing, - and Yawn, I'm still waiting for Trump's super great healthcare plan ----- and the list goes on, and on, and on.

If Trump has an October Surprise, he'd better get it on. Millions of people have already voted and there are very few undecided voters left this year.

A friend posted this recently... Saw this on FB beneath the Mt. Rushmore image as it appears on license plates:

South DaCovid

Unmasked Faces, Infectious Places

Covid kristie Noem is allegedly guv of South Covid( Northern Mississippi to the educated. She has been under the wing of corey Screwandowski while she campaigns all over the country for the russian asset in the kremlin annex.

Her state, which she refused and refuses to govern the covid outbreak, is a national hotspot for covid deaths and infections and she continues to say she trusts the people to do whAt is right. She is trying to gauge her chances for a run at potus in 2024.

Her claim to fame she was used as a poster child to kill the inheritance tax when she went on national tv and lied about her family having to sell the family ranch to pay the taxes. It was proven to be false and it was thrown back in her face and she still repeats the same drumpian lie every chance she gets.

"trashing America as a dystopian hellhole rife with systemic racism that actively oppresses people who look like him."


That's how I know you're not Blah. No one is trashing America as a dystopian hellhole. Show me a post when America was referred to as that. America is a country just like any other, some parts of it are better than some nations some worse. It's white Americans who act like this is some kind of god ordained utopia that can do no wrong. How about it's a place to live. There IS racism, sexism and homophobia here. Actually from what I read here my hometown of Chicago is some kind of nightmareish Mad Max scene. Adults know there are no absolutes and only assholes pull the love it or leave it card because most of them have never even left their own county. Now back to you, have you attended law school? Taken a bar exam?

Screwdy Rudy to Daily Beast....But the Hunter Biden material, Giuliani also revealed, wasn’t just pre-screened with Trump. He also said that top Republicans on Capitol Hill had been looped into the matter. The president’s lawyer said the computer store repairman who claims to have received Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2019 alerted several lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and others. “Jim Jordan. People like that,” Giuliani said, adding that he “believed” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) had also received the materials. “But we’re the only ones that got all of it,” he said.

A Wichita man has been arrested for an alleged threat to kidnap and kill Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple (D) over frustration with the city’s mask mandate.

Per the Witchita Eagle, the suspect had expressed opposition to “masks and tyranny,” in a series of texts reviewed by the city’s mayor.

The FBI had the Hunter Biden emails in December that validated accusations of corruption in Ukraine, when Trump was being impeached for asking about Biden's corruption in Ukraine.

To repeat, the FBI had possession of evidence that former Vice President Biden's son Hunter was peddling his influence to his father to land lucrative payoffs overseas that he might not otherwise be qualified for, something that would have been extremely valuable to the President's defense, and they sat on it.

Not to mention that even if it were true, it wouldn't make the non-scandal they've been flogging for the last year or more into a real scandal.

Joe Biden could have secretly met with every last employee and shareholder of Burisma, and it still wouldn't prove unethical activity on his part. To have a corrupt quid pro quo, there has to be a "quo." Biden has to have offered Burisma something in return for hiring his son.

Trump claims that Biden agreed to kill an anti-corruption investigation into Burisma -- but there was never any investigation into Burisma, so how could Biden have killed it off? That is the glaring hole in this lame conspiracy theory that they have never been able to prove, which is why Trump was impeached, and why absolutely nobody but the Trumpkins gives even the tiniest fraction of a shit about Giuliani now implausibly ranting about some emails he allegedly found on a laptop allegedly abandoned by Hunter Biden in a computer repair shop run by a blind Trump fanatic (LOL).

Stop trying to make Ukraine happen. It's not going to happen.

Quid Pro Joe said...

"Biden has to have offered Burisma something in return for hiring his son."

He did. He forced the government of Ukraine to fire the prosecutor looking into Burisma on threat of withholding a billion dollars of US aid. He said so himself:

"I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. He got fired."

Yes, Biden wanted that prosecutor fired, because he was corrupt.

No, that prosecutor was never conducting an investigation into Burisma. Trump hasn't, and can't, prove that he was, because it never happened.

I mean that is the Hannity version of events but the reason the prosecutor was fired was because he WASN'T looking into corruption. There's a reason Biden said this in public because there was nothing illegitimate about it. C'mon, you do know when you use conservative media you get maybe half of the story.

Quid Pro Joe said...

Right. Biden WANTED the corrupt company that put his son on the board and gave him millions of dollars investigated.

He wanted his son investigated so bad he threatened to withhold a billion dollars and crash an ally's economy unless he got his way.

You can't be that stupid. Or can you?

Anonymous said...

"Right. Biden WANTED the corrupt company that put his son on the board and gave him millions of dollars investigated."

No, he wanted the prosecutor to do his job, in general, not specifically investigate Burisma.

The guy was a crook. He was part of the general governmental corruption that existed in Ukraine under Putin's puppet, Viktor Yanukovych. Cleaning up that corruption was a demand of the US in return for normalizing international relations after Yanukovich was overthrown.

There's really no reason to believe that Burisma was any MORE implicated in corruption than many other companies in Ukraine. Corruption was rampant there.

Shokin was not prosecuting corruption, which led to his getting his ass canned!

Feb. 10, 2015 – Viktor Shokin takes office as Ukraine’s prosecutor general, replacing Yarema.

Sept. 24, 2015 – U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt excoriates officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office for stymying anti-corruption investigations, including those involving Burisma

Pyatt’s speech was part of a regular drumbeat by U.S. and other Western leaders, including Vice President Biden, and a swath of Ukrainian civil society seeking to pressure President Poroshenko to force his officials, especially in the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) to crack down more, not less, on corruption. “Corruption kills,” Pyatt said in the address to the Odesa Financial Forum for business leaders. “It kills productivity and smothers inspiration. Ideas are lost in its shadow. Innovation and entrepreneurship lag under the weight of bribery, back room dealing, and bullying.”

While giving Shokin a last chance to shape up (Pyatt says, “We want to work with Prosecutor General Shokin so the PGO is leading the fight against corruption.”), the ambassador criticizes “officials at the PGO’s office” for not providing documents that were needed for the British investigation of Burisma owner Zlochevskiy and effectively allowing Zlochevskiy to transfer $23 million of what Pyatt says were Ukrainian taxpayer assets to Cyprus. In other words, Pyatt is critical of the prosecutor’s office for not aiding in investigations of Burisma’s owner, which was in line with Biden’s criticism that the office was blocking corruption investigations. Pyatt specifically called for the investigation and removal of officials who were involved in the failure to help the British authorities investigate Zlochevskiy:

“We have learned that there have been times that the PGO not only did not support investigations into corruption, but rather undermined prosecutors working on legitimate corruption cases.

For example, in the case of former Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevskiy, the U.K. authorities had seized 23 million dollars in illicit assets that belonged to the Ukrainian people. Officials at the PGO’s office were asked by the U.K to send documents supporting the seizure.

Instead they sent letters to Zlochevskiy’s attorneys attesting that there was no case against him. As a result, the money was freed by the U.K. court and shortly thereafter the money was moved to Cyprus.

The misconduct by the PGO officials who wrote those letters should be investigated, and those responsible for subverting the case by authorizing those letters should – at a minimum – be summarily terminated.”

The investigation of Burisma was only about the owner and had nada to do with Hunter Biden or anyone else. Suck it, losers!

What gets lost in the baseless accusation of Russian interference in 2016 (FYI, the DNC never found evidence of Russian hacking or as a matter of fact, any hacking) is that the emails were true.

Now we have documented evidence of Biden's corruption. And it's pretty clearly true. Biden hasn't denied the emails are Hunters. Other email sources independent of Hunter's laptop have confirmed these activities. You can tell the Dems and their media know they are true because they are attacking Rudy and screaming about Russians again.

Biden is a Goddamn crook who abused his position at the top of the government to enrich himself and his family, and he did so by subverting the interests of American foreign policy to prevent one of his schemes from being revealed. Now we know he is owned by the Chinese government. It would be a disaster for America if this man became President.

Let's try this one more time: It stinks for Hunter Biden to cash in big time on his connection with his father, obviously by suggesting to Burisma he can influence his father in some way. Joe should have put a stop to it. He didn't. That's true even if Shokin should've been fired.
