Drain the cult - lolz
Wait is the blackmail employing their family members? Like vote for me or I’ll hire your nephew.The House was much better run by George Santos. He probably just doesn’t want to run because he won so many times already.

I dunno. Some of these are pretty funny. Gotta love that the so-called "conservative website" sees fit to publish the jokes under the guise of rolling their eyes at the jokesters who wrote them. Seems to me he might have gotten a laugh or two himself--
2) "Can't wait to see this go to penalty kicks tomorrow on the House floor."
3) "Well GOP crazies actually did stop the transfer of power – to themselves."
7) "It's outrageous that Antifa has delayed Kevin McCarthy's ascension to Speaker."
9) "They should start the next Speaker vote with a runner on second base."
11) "Straightforward from here – McCarthy needs to call Brad Raffensperger and ask him to find nine votes." (1:26 p.m.)
I saw one that was Republicans finally found a way to re-do an election and they still can’t win. Cracked me up.-

Not my guy, would rather he not run. They have been trying to "get him" for like 7 years now and so far they got a $1 million fine. Wow, I guess they got him. Now do all of the other politicians who do the same kind of stuff
Plus for his illegal use of charitable funds, had to pay $2,000,000, admit to stealing the charitable funds for personal use (including that he used it to buy Tebow stuff), and is no longer allowed to run a NY charity.Plus all the other people in Trump orbit like Cohen who are in jail.

"The Trump Organization could face a maximum of $1.61 million in fines."
Oh noooo what are they going to do now? They have probably saved 50x that amount by cooking their books. Name a rich person that pays their fair share. None of them do including Bernie, Biden, AOC, Pelosi. Tons of loopholes built in and sketchy things you can do when filing. But they are concerned if us Regular Joe's pay someone $600 with Venmo. It's all smoke and mirrors
You realize the only people who need to worry about Venmo reporting are people who are receiving taxable income via Venmo and not reporting it as income right?
The Trump case here deals with fringe benefits and it’s pretty egregious. The fine was what was allowed under NY law. However, the bigger impact is 1) US banks are less likely to loan Trump Org money, which isn’t a good thing in real estate and 2) the guilty verdict brings a lot of facts on things like Trump signing documents, which starts to lay the evidence for the NY civil suit, which would lead to the Trump posse now being able to be officers of companies in NY anymore and other large fines.

Trump Org convicted of criminal state tax fraud:

Biggest thing is it will take away a lot of funding the Trump Org would be able to get going forward.

Complaint filed against Republican senate candidate Walker:
The gist, he is claiming a homestead exemption on his TX property. To do so, he needs to be a TX resident. However, he used his wife’s GA address to vote.
Either he committed tax fraud in TX or he illegally voted in GA.

For those of us that have been paying attention to the obvious, sustained and age-related decline of Joe Biden, it’s actually impressive he hasn’t already made this type of comment.
On top of everything else…gibberish…wandering aimlessly..even with him being a political dbag he can’t recall where his son died, and that’s just sad.
Given time, vampires probably make an appearance in JoeSpeak,
So Walker is worse off than Joe?2 hours ago, B-Man said:Imagine if there was some context to your post.
Walker rambling on about a movie he saw. Silly ? of course.
He is NOT a professional politician and that is a reason that many support him.
and the comparison to Joe's frequent flubs and wandering around til his handlers get him.
Yeah, same thing. 😂
They continue to try to fool you that they are helping you out. But they’re not. Because a lot of money it’s going to trees. Don’t we have enough trees around here?” - Walker on climate changeWeren’t you one of the people saying Fetterman shouldn’t win due to his medical issues?

Imagine if Biden said in a speech:
“I don’t know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not? But let me tell you something that I found out: a werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that.
“So, I don’t want to be a vampire any more. I want to be a werewolf.”
With all our right wing friends thinking Biden has dementia and wouldn’t vote for him, I’m sure they wouldn’t vote for Walker with his CTE issues.

I thought I read somewhere they did. I must have been thinking about IDR's. I was wrong.
It accrued in Income based repayment plans and in the past could get negative amortization, but once repayment does start, the new Biden admin rule will do away with negative amortization. -

Oooooooh. The old man found a loophole.
Did he tell people that the interest is still likely accruing?
Interest does not accrue during the freeze. -
As expected, Biden has extended the student loan payment pause through June 30, 2023.

How is this any different than Trump getting his name put on the spring 2020 stimulus checks?
In either instance no one directly asked for votes, just different tactics to make it clear who was responsible for the "free" money.
Did any of you right wingers get outraged back then? However tasteless both times, I don't remember any legal repercussions for Trump, should there be some now for Biden?
Didn't Trump also promise a 10 percent tax cut for the middle class right before the 2018 mid-term elections to try buying votes? -
Good break down on issues with the Trump judges ruling:

Let’s get this party started
Trump running is also dumb from a political perspective. If he wins, big if, if can only get 1 term, and it’s highly likely the Dems would get the next President just based on history. Running someone like Haley could allow for 2 terms. -
Lol. Dude couldn’t beat a 100 year old guy who wouldn’t come out of his basement who was probably the worst Dem candidate since John Kerry(? maybe, Biden was a worse candidate).
Dems can now pick anyone they want as President and know they’ll win, assuming Trump gets the nomination.

From a Reddit poster tracking races:House races to keep an eye on: (update every 2 hours)
Since last update - no updates
Cali 47: 1,3% D at 77% counted - it was 3% D at 72% counted - it was 3% D at 70% - it was 2% D at 64% counted. Bad batch of vote for the Dems.
Cali 49: 5% D at 84% counted - it was 5% D at 79% counted - it was 5% D at 71% counted - it was 4% D at 64% counted
Cali 13: 0,75% D at 78% counted - it was 0,11% R at 61% counted - it was 0,35% R at 58% (just recently flipped blue but there are still a lot of votes left)
That is 3 races that D have a small lead that they need to keep. They also have to flip the R lead in all 4 of these races to get the house.
Cali 22: 5% R at 53% counted (trending D since it was 8% R when it was 43% counted) 55% of the remaing votes from Kern county needs to go D and/or D need to limit the expected losses in Tulare county.
Cali 27: 9% R at 70% counted - it was 11% R at 67% counted - it was 12% R at 61% at counted (this is unlikely to flip to D but hopefully mail ballots can make up the difference)
Cali 3: 6% R at 53% counted (this race is unlikely to flip)
Co 3: 0,35% R at 99% counted (next vote dump is Thursday)
Most to least likely D
211 safe D
212 - Cali 49 - 95% chance
213 - Cali 47 - 80% chance - down from 95%
214 - Cali 13 - 70% chance - up from 60%
215 - Cali 22 - 40% chance - down from 50%
216 - Co 3 - 30% chance (allegedly)
217 - Cali 27 - 10% chance
218 - Cali 3 - 1% chance
These percentages with the exception of co 3 are done by me from what I remember, if I am wrong about some of them then please let me know
Current house prediction: R 221 - D 214

Appeals court agrees with federal judge & halts Biden’s unilateral student loan ‘cancellation’
False and misleading title there.The appeals court issued an injunction while the case is decided. The appeals court has not made a determination on if the program is constitutional or not. It simply said the program needs to be on hold until a decision could be made because not granting an injunction could be detrimental to a party.

Trump’s follies
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

Thats no what happened. If you followed it the judge on the first day of the trial said he didn’t do that “"I specifically said in the summary-judgment decision, I'm not valuating properties," Engoron said on October 2, the first day of the trial. "Please, press, stop saying I'm valuing it at $18 million. There was a tax assessment in that range."
You can read all about it here:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/16/politics/read-ruling-donald-trump-civil-fraud-trial-new-york/index.html
The $18 million was a tax assessment, not the judges assessment on the value.
The judges main issue with the fraud was that the Trump Organization did conservation easements in perpetuity. These easements made it so that the club could only be used as a social club. However, knowing this, the Trump organization still valued the property as a private residence.
In 2020, the Trump organization also appealed that a $26.6 million tax appraisal was too high. They later rescinded their appeal and agreed with this valuation.
The court also points out that a billion dollar valuation on the property would be 400 percent higher than the next highest valued property in the country.
In order to appeal the decision, Trump will have to pay the fine. It’s dubious that will happen. But you’re welcome to donate to his GoFundMe:
