Sharpshooter

More and more Democrats calling for Joe to go. It's getting a little sad now, I hope he decides to pull out this weekend before it gets too embarrassing. He's had a hell of a run and can be proud of ridding the US of Trump once.

Biden is having a press conference tomorrow. Apparently, reporters are allowed to ask him questions. This is not going to go well for him IMO. It might be the final nail in the coffin. 

Questioning without following a script?

I wonder if Mark Kelly would run as VP with Harris? America loves astronauts, he's got a heck of a resume. 

IMHAO it will be Newsom. Not Ozzy, but that guy from CalifornIA.

He won’t be using a teleprompter. He will be in the press room. He is fooked. 
 

This most definitely is a set up by the “elites”. Hillary must be the ringleader. You are probably going to get your wish Alf. “Cute” Hillary might be the President in January.

As cute as Hillary is, and clearly she’s  beyond cute, I’m thinking it will be a Harris-Newsom ticket. Joe sure has fallen fast though. Whatever is wrong with him must be bad.

Attention Blue MAGA, Attention Blue MAGA. (learned this term from a progressive Young Turks video)  Your new marching orders are in... (At least according to social media)

 

 

You now hate both Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney!!  *edit* Apparently also Michael Douglas now! 

 

You have been warned.  No fraternizing with the enemy over there in Discount Hollywood (Vancouver)!

Very, VERY poor choice of name for a progressive channel or at least historically tone deaf. The Young Turks group was primarily responsible for the Armenian genocides.

"

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has passed a measure that mandates proof of citizenship to register to vote - which is already a requirement.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would require a Real ID, passport or other government identification that shows a person’s place of birth was in the United States.

......

Elon Musk had even suggested that anyone who voted against the bill should be executed for treason.

“Those who oppose this are traitors. All Caps: TRAITORS,” he wrote on X. “What is the penalty for traitors again?”

Wonder if this sets a precedent for a certain someone?

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/ex-senator-illinois-governor-candidate-mccann-gets-3-1-2-years-for-fraud-and-money-laundering/ar-BB1pLkvR?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=ea88bfcb0669482585b94785eb30026c&ei=29

"

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A former Illinois state senator and candidate for governor was sentenced Wednesday in federal court to 3 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to fraudulent use of campaign funds, money laundering and tax evasion.

U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Lawless, who also ordered William “Sam” McCann to pay $684,000 in restitution, noted during sentencing that McCann continued to siphon campaign money for personal use even after federal authorities confronted him. And she said he fraudulently claimed that he was physically and mentally unable to stand trial during a bizarre series of delays leading up to his February bench trial.

McCann, 54, who declared “God's got this" after firing his attorneys in 2023 and announcing that he would represent himself, later capitulated and started trial with new representation before throwing in the towel on the third day of testimony. He entered a no-strings open guilty plea to seven counts of wire fraud and one count each of money laundering and tax evasion. He faced up to 20 years in prison for each count of fraud and money laundering alone.

3.5 years for all of it, when it could have been  20 for each count.

When will society and judges start putting the hammer down on so called 'white collar" crime?

Rob a gas station and get decade, rip off millions and 3.5 yrs.
