B-Man Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Blue on blue attack: Georgia Dems slam visit from Biden and Harris as “insufficient and unwelcome” by Karen Townsend The White House considers Georgia as “ground zero” for voter suppression laws. Somewhere along the way, Georgia Democrats didn’t receive the memo. They question why Biden and Kamala are traveling to their state tomorrow to echo the themes of Biden’s highly divisive January 6 speech and talk up his endorsement of a filibuster carveout in order to pass voting rights legislation in the Senate. This is a perfect example of the tone-deafness that plagues the Biden administration. Biden and Harris can’t even get on the same page as their own party activists. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2022/01/10/blue-on-blue-attack-georgia-dems-slam-visit-from-biden-and-harris-as-insufficient-and-unwelcome-n440458 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have to dispute one of the points. Quote Democrats don’t care about election integrity safeguards. Their focus is on passing legislation that will likely create a path for a permanent Democrat majority in Congress. Actually Republicans also don't care about "election integrity safeguards" either. Neither party does. What the do want is elections they can win. And they're both working on making that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They blame both of them for not getting Manchin and Sinema to carve out filibuster to have 51 votes for voting rights. Voters had the last say for their Senators simple as that.

B-Man Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor and one of the nation’s best known voting-rights advocates, will not be there. Nor will a coalition of Georgia’s most active voting-rights groups. Ms. Abrams has a scheduling conflict, an aide said on Monday. She expressed support for the event on Twitter. Say what? This is Abrams’ signature issue! There won’t be a more high-profile event in Georgia focusing on “voting rights” ever. How often does a president and VP of one’s own party come to the same event in one’s home state? Especially given Abrams’ new gubernatorial run and her claims of being robbed in her previous attempt, skipping this event is astonishing. What could possibly be on her schedule that has more potential and a higher profile than this? https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/01/11/hmmm-voting-rights-groups-to-boycott-biden-harris-event-in-georgia-and-abrams-awol-too-n440669 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 have no power over Manchin and Sinema so that's not a plausible excuse. Nope, that would be Harry Reid. Fact check: Republicans, not Democrats, eliminated the Senate filibuster on Supreme Court nominees In 2013, Reid and Democrats lowered vote threshold on most nominees, but not for Supreme Court picks In 2013, Democrats held a majority in the Senate while President Barack Obama occupied the White House. For four decades, a 60-vote supermajority had been required to advance all federal judicial nominees and executive-office appointments, per The Washington Post. Then, Senate Republicans attempted to filibuster multiple Obama nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, his pick for Defense secretary, and his choices to lead the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In response, Reid orchestrated a move to lower the Senate vote threshold to 51 to confirm most presidential appointments — but not nominees to the Supreme Court. In 2017, McConnell and Republicans lowered the threshold for nominees to the Supreme Court By 2017, roles had reversed — Republicans held the majority in the Senate, and President Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office. After Senate Democrats, now in the minority, filibustered the confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch — Trump's first nominee to the Supreme Court — McConnell engineered his own "nuclear option." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/01/fact-check-gop-ended-senate-filibuster-supreme-court-nominees/3573369001/ Edited January 12, 2022 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Joe Biden’s Magical Malarky Tour Back when Joe Biden was mercifully not yet our President, he had a period where he flailed about like a deranged mongoose searching for “messaging.” We all remember his bizarre “tell your kids to stop listening to the record player” rant as if he was addressing June and Ward Cleaver instead of actual humans in 2020. Then there was his infamous pronouncement in an interview with alleged personality Leonard Larry McKelvey (known professionally as Charlamagne Tha God) that if an African-American like McKelvey didn’t yet know if he would vote for Biden or Donald J. Trump “then you ain’t black.” Of course, if Trump had uttered anything that shockingly stupid, he’d have been tarred and feathered. But since it was just ol’ Lunchpail Joe from Scranton, everyone guffawed and moved on to cover Biden’s next “rally” featuring six people sitting inside their cars wearing Fauci-approved facemasks, flashing their headlights and honking their horns…reminiscent of being at a drive-in double feature from the 1950’s, “Attack of the 50-foot Woman” followed by “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.” Finally, Biden landed on a slogan he like so much that his campaign plastered it on the side of his tour bus and on t-shirts as well as coffee mugs. Joe Biden would stand for “No Malarky.” (Again, not exactly a relatable word to Gen Z voters, but probably comforting to a guy born in November of 1942 when kids would gush over something being “the bee’s knees” or “the cat’s pajamas.”) This week in violation of that premise, Biden and his hapless vice President Kamala Harris have apparently opted to crank up the “Magical Malarky Tour” in which they can honeycomb the nation (even the darkest corners of your own back yard) spouting non-stop malarky. Oh by the way, for those of us younger than 79… malarky was 1940’s slang meaning nonsense or rubbish. Harris was leadoff act on the tour. After having hemorrhaged close to a dozen staffers since becoming Veep, she’s grousing about the bad p.r. she’s “unfairly” getting; of course, it probably doesn’t say much about Kamala’s personnel skills that her most senior staff member and chief spokesman Symone Sanders just jumped ship to become a weekend host on MSNBC, the Ham Radio of television networks. But I digress. Kamala Harris has been quoted as confiding to allies that she thought the news would “cover her differently” if she were white and male…by inference attributing negative media coverage to her race and gender. Apparently not much of a history buff, I guess the Vice President never heard of Dan Quayle; last time I checked, that non-stop butt of late-night comedy routines was neither black nor female. But hey, don’t let the facts get in the way of a great “woke” narrative of victimhood. But move over, Madam Vice President. Because the Boss is about to step up to the microphone and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. After “taking the gloves off” is his unhinged screamfest in Statuary Hall on Capitol Hill last week, Joe Biden launched into nonstop blasts against the “defeated former President” (he must have referred to Trump that way two dozen times, as if trying to convince himself and the nation that he had actually won the election. “No Joke. Folks! I mean it!”) I’d love to see Biden’s Rorschach tests sometime for a clue to why he’s always portraying himself as a prize-fighter, or threatening to take Trump “out behind the gym” and “beat him up.” When in reality he looks like the guy in the BEFORE pictures displayed in pitches for bodybuilding courses. This week, Biden’s Magical Malarky Tour pivoted from attacking Trump to rewriting history…trying to drape efforts to tighten election security around the necks of Republicans like Ku Klux Klan robes. (“No, really, folks. I’m a uniter, not a divider. I mean it. No joke!”) And he positioned the total failure of Democrats who control The White House…the U.S. Senate…and the U.S. House on racists in the GOP. But like his fact-challenged junior partner, Biden totally mangled history while downloading the Big Smear in front of historically black Morehouse College. https://townhall.com/columnists/tomtradup/2022/01/12/joe-bidens-magical-malarky-tour-n2601731 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
