When Saturday night Live used to make fun of President Ford, that was just comedy. BUT, I you make fun of a Democrat Pres, nothing funny about that. Can you say Hypocrisy?
I am pleasantly surprised that this pundit is recognizing Biden having brought the U.S. economy to a supremely soft landing coming out of tRump’s recession.
Hey, Al! Let’s talk about your team blocking aid to Ukraine and blowing up the border bill on the Orangutan’s say-so! I think there’s some deflection and projection going on here. Also dead horse beating…
In other news, the chief witness in the alleged Biden bribery scandal, at the heart of the Republican impeachment effort, has admitted that it was a lie cooked up by Russian intelligence and dutifully amplified by the Republican party and their apologists like Goodwyn. Instead of acknowledging their error, they will deflect and distract with trivialities.
well, my man Joe, like the cats everywhere, knows how to land on his feet. That kind of political savvy will be needed for winning his second term. And having a great staff around him won’t hurt, either.
‘Chaotic to the point of burlesque’: Top oversight Democrat slams Biden impeachment witness
Republican witness ‘repeatedly yelled, shouted, filibustered, and hurled outlandish and baseless accusations and insults against Democratic Members and staff,’ Jamie Raskin writes
Mr Raskin said he was “baffled and amused” by a letter in which Mr Bobulinski’s attorney Stefan Passantino, who worked in the Office of White House Counsel during the Trump administration, said that Mr Raskin’s previous account of Mr Bobulinski’s eight-hour testimony was a “grotesque mischaracterization”.
“I stand proudly by my statement that over the course of his more than eight hours of belabored testimony, Mr. Bobulinski did not offer any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden,” Mr Raskin wrote. “He also did not provide any evidence that President Biden was involved in his family’s business dealings. Furthermore, unable to point to any evidence to support his wild claims against President Biden, Mr. Bobulinski casually accused a broad group of individuals and organizations of lying.”
Mr Raskin, who spent more than a quarter-century as a constitutional law professor, noted that Mr Bobulinski accused several FBI agents of lying, claimed that the Wall Street Journal lied in its reporting in which it dismissed his claims as baseless and that Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson lied “about what she saw with her own eyes”.
Mr Raskin slammed Mr Bobulinski’s testimony as a “fog of … vituperative fulminations”.
He concluded: “I agree that we are upon ‘the death throes of a political narrative that will be shattered upon the imminent public release of Mr. Bobulinski’s testimony before the House Committees on Oversight and Judiciary,’ as you say. That narrative is Mr. Bobulinski’s.”
How embarrassing for the Republicans. Am I hearing this correctly ? They are going after Hunter Biden over fabricated Russian Intel via a dirty FBI Agent ? Figures
I spent a career as an administrator at a VA hospital. I know what a I seeing. This is absolutely one of the worst and most dangerous instances of elderly abuse I have ever seen. Biden hardly know were he is and a bunch of mice hidden in the background are running the show. The only reason why he hasn’t been replaced is Kamala is a complete moron.
