Look Frenchy, you don't see me over here blaming Dudley DooRight for the miscalculations of Justin Trudeau, or actions of foreign aggressors on his watch. Biden has had nearly 50 years of conspiring/working with NATO allies at the highest level of government. Billions of dollars have changed hands and fattened wallets over that time, and all I can tell you is: What is happening now did not happen under Donald Trump; What is happening now is happening under a man who's access to power brokers should be unquestioned. That man is Joe Biden; If they don't trust him, he earned it all on his own.

Jiminy Christmas! He's got it so turned around he's using the wrong words in his press conference! It's a pandemic of miscommunication if you ask me.

Was he defeated? Lots of folks predicted he would not leave. Maybe he's still there? I've never met the man!

This didn’t happen on Trump’s watch, it is happening on Biden’s watch. Whether by chance, divine intervention or because Biden is a career politician who talks of minor incursions and is entirely predictable, I cannot say. However, Biden has been in office a year and it’s certainly not coincidental. He certainly does not inspire confidence with his confusing take on the situation. Btw, it would have been interesting to see the handling of these matters in a second term under Trump. When you remove the concern about being voted out of office, the dynamic changes dramatically.

That’s not what you said though. Did you forget what you wrote? I think in this case, big picture, she’s actually a better citizen than those who got vaxxed and boosted, assuming of course she gets past COVID unscathed. There is likely only a 99+% chance of that occurring, multiple comorbidities notwithstanding. prayers up of course. #loveall#respectall

So, you’re laughing because she got the virus because she may not have gotten the booster shot? That seems odd, given that the virus spreads to the vaccinated and boosted. At the same time, the science dudes now seem to suggest someone like Sarah Palin will likely be in a much better position to fight the virus in the future than someone like you or me. Btw, I can’t say for sure in Sara Plain’s case, but it seems likely that the Biden approach to marketing vaxx and booster is a huge part of the problem. CDC numbers indicate nearly 37% of Americans have not received the booster shot. This is a stunning indictment of the admin and has nothing at all to do with SP, other than she doesn’t trust what they say it would seem.

Look, what’s really important is that your true beauty likely lies within, but have you ever stopped to consider all these folks are just tossing signs up when they see you coming? I think you should consider this.

If the gym is only making you wear one, you could be hideous.

What is making you laugh here? That Sarah Palin was infected by a novel virus that likely originated in a lab in China, has infected hundreds of thousands of people, or that many Americans—of all political stripes—-are apparently unwilling to trust the government and it’s response to a virus they apparently had a hand in developing?

A lot is being made here about standing with Ukraine, but I’m sure the concern is less “Who is hashtag standing with us in Washington?”, and more “Who will stand with us physically in Ukraine?”. Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, Biden has already signaled his intent, and trusting his administration for anything beyond hashtag support would be a mistake.

What we've got here is the typical political posturing. Remember when Obama/Biden took strong action against Russia for meddling in our election process? That was December 29, 2016. At that point, Obama had been in office 2900 days out of the 2922 days he would be president. That was 1739 days after Obama assured Dmitri Medvedev he'd have much more flexibility to work with Putin once the election was over. So, the dems went from mocking Willard Romney about concerns of Russia being a geopolitical threat, to Obama and Biden working with Russia to working with Putin to Obama/Biden casting Russia in the role of clear and present danger to our way of life, the offshoot of which was to to expel diplomats three weeks before turning over the keys to the White House. From there there was 4 year investigation that yielded nothing of value with respect to Putin/Trump/Treason, but under the current administration we see record levels of crude oil imported from Russia. In the meantime, we have a president who seems quite willing to allow Russia leeway for an incursion into Ukraine but only on an as-yet unspecified level of hostility. This is the same president that threatened to rough up Ukraine, economically speaking, back when he was VP looking for them to play ball with him. I think where dem voters are concerned, it's an awful lot to ask them to think outside the box, mostly because they have no idea the box exists to begin with. But hey--exiling those diplomats was harsh, man.

If he did something illegal, he should be investigated and prosecuted. Seems simple enough. I wish that was the standard for all politicians. You know, guys like Eliot Spitzer and so on. Personally, I’m not all that enamored with the Rolling Stone as a bastion of journalistic integrity. The editorial team has had some issues in the past, one example here: https://www.cjr.org/investigation/rolling_stone_investigation.php Admittedly, that story was only written to destroy lives, reputations and leveraged the emotional trauma of victims past to pursue a quasi-social-justice narrative but it still has application here. The suggestion that “everyone should be trying to hold this guy…accountable” sounds great in theory—and I’ll join you on your quest for justice should the facts play out that way—but you suggestion is damn near infantile in reality. All we have is a perpetually evolving shell game. I won’t bother linking, but every mainstream dem made comments suggesting or declaring that the election of DJT was illegitimate, stolen, a coup or in one case, an act of “treason”. Presidential candidates Warren and Klobbie on election security pre Biden victory: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/democratic-senators-warned-of-potential-vote-switching-by-dominion-voting-machines-prior-to-2020-election I won’t bother linking Trump and senior Rs on thoughts on election security post 2020. Joe Biden just last week, setting the stage for litigation and russia#2 should the midterms go the wrong way later this year: https://nypost.com/2022/01/21/biden-is-hardly-the-first-democrat-to-try-to-delegitimize-elections/ This is big business, ugly though it may be. I’d have a bit more respect for those hand-wringing about the assault on democracy (R version) should they stop and acknowledge that Russiagate was simply a precursor to Stop the Steal. On a brighter note, The Rolling Stone links did provide options for flavor-infused rolling papers should I ever revisit the days of my wayward youth, so it wasn’t a total bust. God bless them for that.

I’m not sure if I’d go with “if we can save one life…” or “if we don’t all mask at home, the COVID wins” here.

This whole thing reminds me to remember that just because a person is reminded of something it doesn’t mean that person can actually articulate why. ::insert Clinton popcorn photo here::

We certainly don’t need to reinvent the facts here. Comey’s statement on Clinton’s actions is pretty clear. There are laws that govern the dissemination of classified information, the law does not differentiate between accidental, unintentional, careless handling of classified information, and Clinton handled classified information in a way that potentially violated the laws governing such activity. What Comey said: “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statues regarding the handling of classified information…”. He then went on to take the unprecedented step to publicly pre-absolve Clinton by suggesting the DOJ should not prosecute her for wrongdoing. That effectively neutered the DOJ, during a hotly contested election, with finger pointing on all sides, a short time before the election. This was Comey’s version of Special Dispensation. What we do know is that scores of people lined up behind Clinton to cast their vote for a life long enabler of a sexual predator and demonized of the victims who spoke out against her, who’s major accomplishment as Sect of State was to be humiliated by her most ardent supporters at the highest level of govt by being described as incredibly reckless with top secret intel, to have overseen the anarchy at the State Dept as it related to processes for protecting classified information, and to have been revealed as someone who really couldn’t be bothered with all the processes and procedures in place to keep our country safe. What a resume. It does, however, provide insight as to why these same gullible folk might vote for Joe Biden, who last night told all the world that if Putin only takes a few tiny bites of the Ukrainian apple it’s all good.

So…you agree with Donald Trump and the myriad of other politicians/media types/talking heads espousing this particular statement to appeal to low information voters on this issue? Let’s get an update on the World According to Kemp: 1. Kemp believes if you engage the services of an attorney or other legal guidance, you’re guilty of something; 2. Kemp is part of the cult of Donald J. Trump with respect to the fact that asserting one’s privilege to decline to cooperate with inquisitors is indicative of guilt; 3. Kemp supports any investigation into an individual that may, or may not reveal anything; By the way, you never said what you think they’ll find when looking at the documents. You inferred there would be evidence of Trump funneling money to Putin and documents showing he ordered the murder of thousands of Americans. That’s some pretty wild stuff, but everybody believes something. What do you think will be in the papers?

So, you’ve pushed the narrative that availing one’s self of the protections afforded by the constitution somehow infers guilt in their part. A short time later, when asked to share what you think will be found, you suddenly become introspective. Gosh, no way to know, right? The sad fact is that you’ll never know and you’re not really smart enough to know it. You’ll hear exactly what the politicians on the committee want you to hear. You’ll get sound bites, text and paragraphs lacking context, and as they release it, they’ll tell you what to think and you’ll be convinced you thought up it all on your own. If you think Trump was funneling money to Putin and keeping a ledger in a file cabinet in the White House, or actually ordered the murder of thousands of Americans, why not just hitch your pants up, find some courage and say it?

Ironically, NY apparently pursues non-NY politicians on perpetual witch hunts while letting NY pols actually guilty of crimes choose early retirement v any of that pesky jail time.

Little know fact: The only reason the Stones had the Hell’s Angels doing security at Altamont in ‘69 was because the Rotarian’s were running a car wash/bake sale grift that very weekend. Things could have been much, much worse.

When do men officially age out of bro? I’m thinking you’re Grand-bro at a minimum. 😎

I think sometimes the the tendency is to overthink things. While rushing to judgment can make us all look a bit foolish from time to time, some things really aren't all that complicated. Excellent point on the school board.

All I can tell you is that man is 75 years old, he’s been a player on the big screen for most of those 75 years. He’s been a celebrity, an actor, a businessman, a billionaire, and most recently the president who was subjected to one of the most hostile and intensive deep dives into his life over a 4 year period. He has been accused of just about everything, by enemies standing to gain substantially by his downfall. The most common refrain is “everybody knows it”. Still, he stands.

Recently, our esteemed junior senator from upstate NY was caught entering and completely disregarding a local restaurant’s mask rules. The rules are in place because the governor of NY required businesses to have rules in place under threat of civil penalty. So, to sum it up, one of the most powerful politicians in the country, read in to many of the high level briefings about COVID unavailable to ordinary citizens, in a state with a governor for. Her party demanding compliance, chose to flagrantly disregard the mask mandate. This occurred within 15 miles of the gov mansion and seat of power in NYS. When you follow the actions v the words, you learn an awful lot about what they really think about the dangers posed by this virus. We’ll call this item number 314 on the top 500 list of COVID hypocrisy. https://nypost.com/2022/01/15/kirsten-gillibrand-walks-maskless-through-ny-restaurant/amp/

She also found the allegations of sexual assault against Biden credible, his relationship with segregationists troubling, and his history of being on the wrong side of legislation as it relates to the inner city as troubling. The only thing that changed her perspective was when he offered her something of value. But let’s just pretend that never happens in politics.

National security adviser says this was a terrorist attack.
