Has Biden’s Approval Rate Bottomed Out? December 16, 2021 at 9:23 am EST By Taegan Goddard 13 Comments
Jonathan Bernstein: “President Joe Biden’s approval ratings seem to have bottomed out for now, and may even be rising.
According to the FiveThirtyEight estimate (based on adjusted averages of all the public-opinion polls), he’s up to 43.8% approval, which is 1.5 percentage points above his Dec. 2 low; his disapproval is at 50.6%, down from a 52.3% peak just before Thanksgiving.
Random variation could account for some of that move, but it seems likely that Biden’s slide stopped right around the beginning of November, and that he has probably recovered a bit since then. He’s still, to be sure, below water. At least for now.
“Biden also remains the least popular of the 14 polling-era presidents at this point, 330 days into his presidency, except for Donald Trump, who was dead last for most of his first year and close to last during most of his presidency.
The good news for Biden is that he’s now closer to the tier ahead of him — Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Harry Truman — than he is to Trump.”
How the January 6 committee finally exposed Trump's empire of lies Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN Dec 15, 2021 (CNN) - If politics still turned on truth and facts, this would be the week when the lie-filled foundations of Donald Trump's movement imploded, destroying his apparent dream of a return to power after the 2024 election. But it is the ex-President's greatest, most subversive victory that his empire of falsehoods will surely survive new disclosures that lay bare his own abuses of power and the voter-mocking deceit of his political and media enablers. While there has already been a steady accumulation of shocking evidence of Trump's coup attempt on January 6 and the emptiness of his election fraud claims, recent days put the saga into a horrifying new light. They brought the clearest indicators yet that the entire Make America Great Again infrastructure and Trump's potential next White House campaign rest on hogwash and the whitewashing of history. The House select committee probing the January 6 insurrection has released fresh details of the elaborate behind-the-scenes plot to subvert the certification of President Joe Biden's election. There's embarrassing new evidence of how conservative media stars were privately alarmed by the attack by Trump's mob but quickly reverted to amplifying his lies to millions of Americans they willfully deceived. And a major new Associated Press survey of 2020 swing states contested by Trump found cases of voter fraud were sparse and far from the nationwide conspiracy he claims. There are separate reports that three Florida residents were recently arrested and charged with election fraud -- two of whom were registered Republicans. This week will be remembered for Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the vice chair of the House committee, bringing receipts that exposed the hypocrisy of Trump's extended orbit. Texts from Republican lawmakers, Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News prime-time anchors to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows show that they knew the attack on the Capitol was a disaster and wanted it to stop. Yet those same conservative heroes are part of a political media operation that spent the last 11 months obscuring what really happened, in many cases denying the truth of Biden's election win and fueling lies about voter fraud that are feeding anti-democratic extremism. All to preserve a meal ticket named Trump. In another development fraught with chilling implications, the committee revealed that Meadows wrote in an email that the National Guard would be present to "protect pro Trump people" on January 6. It was the latest example of a habit of weaponizing sacred American institutions for Trump's political gain. The former President, meanwhile, encapsulated perverted political values that now rule much of the Republican Party and will likely produce its next presidential nominee. He recently declared that former Vice President Mike Pence had been "mortally wounded" because he had refused to steal the election during his ceremonial role in certifying Biden's victory. The ex-President was giving voice to a GOP incentive system that now rewards coup attempts and despotic behavior over honoring the Constitution. The scale of the evidence coming to light this week is remarkable. But daily bombshells about what happened on January 6 often have the effect of diminishing the shock value of Trump-related outrages. And voters have pressing concerns like the rising cost of living and a pandemic that will shortly drag into a third year. Yet this week's developments are important not just because they chart the staggering breadth of Trump's election conspiracy. They are also exposing the lies on which his future political prospects are built -- and on which multiple Republican-run states have passed laws that make it harder to vote and easier to steal future elections.
Trump's biggest confidence trick There has always been an aura of a con man about Trump, from his days as a bankruptcy-plagued real estate chancer who adopted a persona as the master of the art of the deal. His presidency opened with false claims about the size of his inauguration crowd that in retrospect augured an administration constructed on untruths -- or what his former senior aide Kellyanne Conway once dubbed "alternative facts." It is now clear that his big lie that "frankly, we did win this election" is the most audacious and damaging confidence trick of his career. A few Trump supporters are seeing the light, including Dustin Stockton, one of the organizers of the January 6 rally that preceded the insurrection, who found himself subpoenaed by the House committee -- and lacks the means to wage a legal battle like Trump's wealthy political guru Steve Bannon. "Essentially, he abandons people when the going gets tough for people. And, you know, in some ways, it's embarrassing to think that in a lot of ways, we bought into what essentially turned out to be a bluff or a con," Stockton told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday. Yet Stockton is an outlier. Trump's popularity among Republican voters makes him the preemptive favorite for the GOP's 2024 nomination. He has the power to shape the political careers of those willing to accept his extremism -- as his raft of endorsements of midterm election candidates, nationally and in the states, shows. The Trump story, meanwhile, makes millions for conservative media outlets and stars -- giving them an incentive to promote a false alternative reality that has won over legions of viewers. The mendacity of the conservative media propaganda machine was exposed by Cheney's reading aloud of texts sent to Meadows by several Fox News powerhouses, including Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, pleading with Meadows to get Trump to intervene on January 6. "Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home," Ingraham texted. "This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy." Hannity asked the-then chief of staff whether Trump could make a statement that would tell the people at the Capitol to leave. Both anchors later condemned the violence on January 6. But they have been among Fox News personalities who attack the investigation as a political vendetta against Trump rather than a probe into one of the worst assaults on democracy in American political history. And television disinformation is only a small part of the problem; social media networks teem with falsehoods about the election and boost Trump's lies in what is almost a fact-free zone. Trump's Orwellian method Trump's enablers have reacted to the disclosures of recent days by adopting the signature move of their leader -- spinning a false reality to excuse his behavior and mislead his supporters about what really happened.

The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader and Member (CA-23) U.S. House of Representatives 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515
Dear Leader McCarthy,
The undersigned conservatives ask that the House Republican Conference act immediately to remove both Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) from the Republican conference due to their egregious actions as part of the House of Representative’s January 6th Select Committee.
As you are aware, this committee has no formal representation from Republicans. Both Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger serve at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). As part of Pelosi’s team, Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger have deliberately sought to undermine the privacy and due process of their fellow Republicans, and those of private citizens, with improperly issued subpoenas and other investigatory tactics designed not to pursue any valid legislative end, but merely to exploit for the sake of political harassment and demagoguery.
The actions of Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger on behalf of House Democrats have given supposedly bipartisan justification to an overtly partisan political persecution that brings disrespect to our country’s rule of law, legal harassment to private citizens who have done nothing wrong, and which demeans the standing of the House.
As duly elected representatives, Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger are free to serve in the House, but they should no longer do so with the privileges granted to members of the House Republican Conference. They should no longer be given access to the benefits of a conference they actively seek to undermine.
We ask that the GOP conference meet immediately to vote on stripping Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger from their membership in the GOP conference. We further inform you that conservative leaders are launching a nationwide movement to add citizens’ voices to this effort.
“The scientific pursuit of biotechnology and medical innovation can save lives. Unfortunately, the PRC (People's Republic of China) is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and its repression of members of ethnic and religious minority groups," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement. "We cannot allow U.S. commodities, technologies, and software that support medical science and biotechnical innovation to be diverted toward uses contrary to U.S. national security,”
The Treasury Department is also set to issue penalties against several Chinese entities, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the soon-to-be-announced moves.
The official, explaining the Commerce Department actions, noted that U.S. intelligence has established that Beijing has set up a high tech surveillance system across Xinjiang that uses biometric facial recognition and has collected DNA samples from all residents, ages 12 to 65, in Xinjiang part of a systematic effort to suppress Uyghurs.
The White House announced last week it would stage a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing China’s “egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in Xinjiang.” U.S. athletes will continue to compete but Biden will not send the usual contingent of dignitaries.
The administration also said this week that it supported bipartisan legislation that bans imports into the U.S. from Xinjiang unless companies can demonstrate the goods were not produced by forced labor.
China has denied any abuses and says the steps it has taken are necessary to combat terrorism and a separatist movement.
The U.S. labor shortage during the pandemic has helped boost wages for frontline employees like grocery clerks and retail workers at their fastest pace in years. Many restaurant workers have seen their wages jump 12% over the last year, a pay raise of more than $2 an hour.
Because of rising prices, however, those seemingly robust wage gains amount to an increase of only "pennies" per hour once inflation is included, according to a new analysis from the Brookings Institution. The study examined wages at 13 of the biggest and most profitable retail, grocery and fast-food companies in America — companies such as Amazon.com, which recently boosted wages to attract new hires. Together, these businesses employ 5 million workers.
"We're seeing headlines that, yes, wages did go up, but when you take into effect inflation, it's not up very much at all," said Molly Kinder, a co-author of the study and a fellow at Brookings Metro. And workers in these industries "started at such a low level that, even though it's still an almost 10% increase, it's still a very low wage."
Only a fucking moron* thinks a minimum wage job is a viable career, and only a fucking moron* thinks the rise in wages at that level is anything BUT a pittance. Thanks to Slow Joe's record inflation. Inflation that was completely avoidable had we not been so committed to destroying bad orange man.
Just over a quarter of Republicans accept President Biden as the winner of the 2020 election, according to a new survey that underscores the instability of American democracy and the growing partisan divide over the legitimacy of elections.
"There was a hope there would see growing acceptance of Biden’s victory over time, as people moved away from the 'Stop the Steal' movement after Jan. 6. Instead, we saw the numbers stay in place," said Brendan Nyhan, a Dartmouth political scientist and one of the founders of Bright Line Watch, an organization that monitors the health of U.S. democracy.
Sinking confidence in election outcomes appears to have been fueled by former President Trump's "Big Lie" — his continued claims of voter fraud in key states, even though such allegations were repeatedly discredited in numerous lawsuits and audits. The fallout of such lies was especially evident on Jan. 6, when thousands of Trump supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in a brazen attempt to halt lawmakers' certification of Biden's victory.
Since then, many Republican officeholders and some of the biggest voices in conservative media have clung to the notion that the election was stolen from Trump.
Bright Line Watch's November survey, released Thursday morning, shows that only 27% of Republicans accept Biden as the rightful winner — the exact same figure as in the group's February poll — compared with 94% of Democrats who do.
The survey also shows that the 2020 election and its aftermath have hardened partisan attitudes about future elections, leaving Republicans less confident that their votes will be counted accurately in 2022.
Even amid Trump's constant rhetoric during the 2020 campaign about a potentially rigged outcome, Democrats and Republicans had roughly equal confidence in October 2020 that the coming election would be decided fairly, with 59% of Democrats and 58% of Republicans believing that would be the case.
But the new survey reveals that a partisan gap has opened up in response to that question. Now, 80% of Democrats believe next year's midterm election will be fair, with just 42% of Republicans saying the same.
"That’s a really scary fact for our democracy right now, that so many Republican voters don’t have confidence in the election," said Susan Stokes, another founder of Bright Line Watch and a political scientist at the University of Chicago.
As Trump and so many Republicans have sowed mistrust in last year's election results, they have used their misinformation campaign to justify new laws in several GOP-controlled states to restrict ballot access and, in some cases, allow partisan lawmakers to overrule election.

When Dems say "voting rights," they're talking about a bill to abolish voter-ID, mandate ballot harvesting, and use taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns.
This bill has nothing to do with voting rights—it's an election takeover to give Democrats more power.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi impeached President Donald Trump in January for her own negligence.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi impeached President Donald Trump in January for her own negligence. As demonstrators flocked to the nation’s capital for a day of protest — some peaceful, some not — the ignored possibility of unrest chalked up to an intelligence failure was even predicted by the Capitol Hill parking attendants.
“Due to the possibility of large scale public protests, access to the Capitol plaza will be restricted,” read an email from the House Parking Team on the eve of the riot. “For the safety and security of personnel on the House campus, we ask that staff strongly consider parking in the Cannon and Longworth House Underground Garages.”
But Pelosi and her team in charge of Capitol security had no idea to prepare for the possibility of turmoil? Worse, reporting shows the speaker’s office deliberately left the Capitol vulnerable.
Four days after the riot, former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who resigned his post in the aftermath, told The Washington Post his request for pre-emptive reinforcement from the National Guard ahead of Jan. 6 was turned down. Sund said House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, overseen by Pelosi, thought the guard’s deployment was bad “optics” two days before the raid. Pelosi and House Democrats had previously condemned the presence of federal troops in the nation’s capital to quell the violent mobs overrunning the city in the name of social justice.
In February, The Daily Caller cited three sources familiar with Irvin’s conversations with the House Administration Committee after the riot. The sergeant of arms said discussions with the speaker’s staff were factors in his “blender of decision making.” The Caller’s sources remained anonymous, “citing the fear of putting a chill on further witnesses to how the security situation unfolded Jan. 6.”
“Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol Grounds, Irving allegedly told House Admin,” The Daily Caller reported. https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/16/nancy-pelosi-owns-january-6/
Wonder if the Jan 6 "committee" is looking into this in their search for the "truth"
The claim has been debunked, because the Clinton campaign conned the FBI, Justice Department and, CIA,into investigsting the Hillary Clinton, and members of the Obama into Administration systematically sought to use U.S. government agencies to sabotage a presidential campaign, transition, and presidency, via the use of a foreign national and ex-spy Christopher Steele and his coterie of discredited Russian sources.

What do you call a proceeding when they falsify the "evidence" against you ?
Universal vaccine is going to drive you crazy mothrf***r even worse. The scientific quest for a universal coronavirus vaccine received a boost Wednesday, as three top federal researchers, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, outlined a path to develop new vaccines that could tackle a variety of ailments including Covid-19, some common colds and future viruses.
Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Fauci and two colleagues said the virus that causes Covid-19 is unlikely to be eliminated, and current vaccines are too limited to prevent the emergence of new variants. Other coronaviruses are also likely to spill over from animals to become future pandemic threats, they wrote.
To overcome these problems, the authors argue the research world should “fully commit” to developing a “second-generation” of coronavirus vaccines that would provide broad protection across the genetic spectrum of coronaviruses. They suggest forming an international effort to collect animal coronavirus samples worldwide and developing ethical challenge trials for coronaviruses, among other measures.
During the past two decades, the world has seen four deadly coronavirus outbreaks, including two bouts with SARS in the early 2000s, the emergence of MERS in 2012 and now Covid-19, which has killed more than 800,000 Americans.
The commentary offers no quick fix for the pandemic. But Fauci’s endorsement of the universal vaccine approach could serve as a clarion call and blueprint for scientists.
“It’s good as a roadmap,” Pablo Penaloza-MacMaster, a viral immunologist and assistant professor at Northwestern University, said of the paper. “It creates some scientific clarity: What are the specific hurdles for developing universal vaccines?”
Researchers have been chasing so-called universal vaccines for years. Scientists have been testing universal vaccines against influenza for more than a decade, with the goal of providing long-lasting protection that wouldn’t require a yearly flu shot. The first human clinical trial for a universal influenza vaccine began in 2019; a vaccine has yet to reach the market.
The new paper isn’t the first instance in which Fauci has mentioned the importance of a universal vaccine for coronaviruses. But the emergence of highly mutated variants like omicron, which could compromise the level of protection offered by available vaccines, has made the chase for a long-term solution more urgent.
The National Institutes of Health in September announced that it had invested more than $36 million in university efforts toward vaccines that could neutralize many coronaviruses.
“We are certainly making it a high priority,” Fauci told The Washington Post this month. “There are fundamental scientific challenges before you can actually make a full-court press on this. It isn’t as if you have a clear pathway into a product and all you have to do is dump more resources into it.”
It became ok when the democrats discovered two things -
1) They are going to get destroyed in the 2022 midterm elections.
2) They have no viable of competitive presidential candidates for 2024. No one who can beat Trump, therefore Trump must be legally disqualified from running.
Clarity is achieved once you accept that the democrats are pathological liars who have nothing legitimate to offer, the only narratives they advance are false narratives, and that they must cheat in order to "win."
This isn't complicated once you boil it down to it's essence.

As the CDC director just admitted that the vaccinated CAN transmit Covid.

She made a liar out of the great orator President Shitpants.

DAYUM!!!!! You can be dumber than the goat fucker at times, asshole!!!!! If you catch the virus even when vaccinated, why are you surprised that transmission can happen?????

In one notable incident, he tried to intercept a plane rumored to be stuffed with fake votes.
He failed. No evidence has emerged for this kind of elaborate voter fraud.
The chief of staff for Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona tried to catch a plane rumored to be full of fake votes, court document say.
The episode is one of the most outlandish in the fruitless search by allies of former President Donald Trump for proof that the 2020 election was stolen.
Gosar's aide, Tom Van Flein, hunted for a plane from South Korea that conspiracy theorists identified as a source of what they thought was election-changing levels of fraud, per documents cited by The New York Times on Thursday.
They found a Korean Air plane, but no proof of stolen ballots.
When a party is hijacked by radicals and uses almost any means necessary to gain and use power for agendas that a majority Americans support, then average independent voters express their approval because they were gaslighted by Trump and Tucker Carlson etc.
That reality apparently terrifies the former President. He claims any system that allows the people to vote for Democrats is a Democratic hoax, the right is afraid of the power of the people.
That's why they have to pass the voting rights act.
One of the most nagging questions about the COVID-19 pandemic for public health authorities, policymakers and the public was whether the vaccines stop transmission.
New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show that in breakthrough cases of the highly transmissible delta variant, the answer is no.
The newly released report showing that vaccinated people can still be superspreaders drove the recent decision by the CDC to once again recommend masks for vaccinated people indoors where case counts are high or substantial.
The viral load of vaccinated people with breakthrough cases is the same as in unvaccinated people, the CDC said Friday.
"High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. "This finding is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation. The masking recommendation was updated to ensure the vaccinated public would not unknowingly transmit virus to others, including their unvaccinated or immunocompromised loved ones."
I think it would be nice if she would share this with her boss, even though he does not possess the cognitive ability to understand it. At least she will have checked that box.
That's why they have to pass the voting rights act.
No alky.
The reason why you have to pass the voting rights act is you must codify election theft into law because it's the only way you can win.
Look at the hell scape your team has created in America in less than one year.
You can't run from it and you most certainly can't win on that "record."
You're left with only one option which is to nationalize elections in order to achieve your desired result through outright theft. It's what you did in 2020 writ large.
The reason why you have to pass the voting rights act is you must codify election theft into law
BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! You really are a sick fuck and need help!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!! Maybe you can link the court case that the GOP won showing massive voter fraud.......fucking asslicking dumb fucks you all are!!!!!!
Look at the quality of the GOP trump has brought into the big tent of idiots!!!!! Greene, Gosar! Gohmert, Boebert are your ambassadors to authoritarian rule......wellcome to Russia......assholes!!!
The Democrats are indeed still below the tipping point; therefore, their polarization state is still evolving slowly, or, linearly. But looking at the current policy mood trend and projecting our model slightly into the future, the present large left shift in policy mood due to the Trump era could easily cause the Democrats to tune up their ideological self-reinforcing behavior and let them pass their polarizing tipping point.
The good news, the five authors continued, “is that the Democratic Party is still very much in control of their trajectory.”
Leonard and her co-authors are apprehensive about the future course of the Republican Party:
Even if Republican voters suddenly decide to start punishing extremists in their party, so many other parts of the political process — interest groups, right-wing media, donors — encourage and reinforce the extremism that we expect it would have little effect. In fact, Republican leaders would very likely simply stop listening to Republican voters or ignore elections altogether. Indeed, this is already happening.
In “Polarization and tipping points” Macy — along with Manqing Ma, Daniel R. Tabin, Jianxi Gao and Boleslaw K. Szymanski, all of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute — maps out the risks of escalating partisan hostility, citing the danger of
the existence of a tipping point beyond which the activation of shared interests can no longer bring warring factions together, even in the face of a common threat. Our interest in this problem is motivated by a series of crises that might be expected to activate a broad political identity and unified response: the Great Recession, Russian electoral interference, impending climate catastrophe, a global pandemic and, most recently, the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Congress.
As partisanship becomes a core element of voters’ self-identity and as voters adopt policy stands in line with their party, polarization reaches new and threatening heights, Macy and his four co-authors argue. In an email, Macy wrote:
The most likely outcome of increasing polarization is political paralysis in which the parties are more interested in preventing the other side from winning than in solving problems. We have heard politicians even feel so emboldened that they can publicly acknowledge that their goal is obstruction, not problem solving. That is the most likely outcome of extreme polarization. A less likely but more frightening outcome is that the partisan animosity against the opposition becomes so intense that each side now views the other as “traitors” or “enemies of the people.” When that happens, the party in power may feel justified in changing the rules of the game to prevent the other party from being able to hold it accountable.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Now this is most amusing!!!!
Business Insider GOP lawmakers in Georgia quietly urged former Sen. David Perdue, who has been endorsed by Trump, not to run for governor Kelsey Vlamis Thu, December 16, 2021, 12:26 AM Former Sen. David Purdue announced this month he's running for governor of Georgia.
However, last month, a group of GOP lawmakers wrote a letter urging him not to challenge Gov. Brian Kemp.
Donald Trump has endorsed Perdue over Kemp, whom he had criticized for the outcome of the 2020 election.
A group of Georgia's Republican state senators urged former Sen. David Perdue not to run for governor in a private letter sent last month, Axios reported Wednesday.
Perdue, who served in US Congress from 2015 to 2021, announced earlier this month he is running for governor of Georgia in the 2022 Republican primary against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp.
Perdue earned a swift endorsement from former President Donald Trump, who has skewered Kemp for not doing more to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in his state, which President Joe Biden won.
In the letter obtained by Axios, 25 of Georgia's 34 Republican state senators asked Perdue not to challenge the incumbent.
If the former loses control over the Republican party, it won't get more Democrats elected, but a normal Republican candidate like Pence and a few others, not DeSantis who is a Trump supporter.
Your ignorance of what is really going on with Trump and the GOP is breathtaking, alky.
Trump supporters have LEFT the GOP alky. Renounced it. Dropped their GOP voter registration like I have. The GOP is dead to me, and every time the NY GOP calls me I tell them exactly that.
The GOP is comprised of those who wish to gargle democrats balls, like Cheney, Kinzinger, et.al..
Trump has turned his back on the GOP. This is obvious to all but the most politically ignorant among us. Like you.
Unfortunately, like the truthers here the true aim of America’s contemporary right-wing movement, the restoration and preservation of white hegemony. It is not beyond imagining that Republicans could be prepared, fueled by a mix of fear and provocation, to push the nation over the brink.

Of course they did. WFB Jr. used to call these clowns "well-fed Republicans."

Has Biden’s Approval Rate Bottomed Out?
December 16, 2021 at 9:23 am EST By Taegan Goddard 13 Comments
Jonathan Bernstein:
“President Joe Biden’s approval ratings seem to have bottomed out for now, and may even be rising.
According to the FiveThirtyEight estimate (based on adjusted averages of all the public-opinion polls), he’s up to 43.8% approval, which is 1.5 percentage points above his Dec. 2 low; his disapproval is at 50.6%, down from a 52.3% peak just before Thanksgiving.
Random variation could account for some of that move, but it seems likely that Biden’s slide stopped right around the beginning of November, and that he has probably recovered a bit since then. He’s still, to be sure, below water. At least for now.
“Biden also remains the least popular of the 14 polling-era presidents at this point, 330 days into his presidency, except for Donald Trump, who was dead last for most of his first year and close to last during most of his presidency.
The good news for Biden is that he’s now closer to the tier ahead of him — Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Harry Truman — than he is to Trump.”
Obama, Reagan, and Truman won reelection. Trump didn't.
ROFLMFAO!!!
How the January 6 committee finally exposed Trump's empire of lies
Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
Dec 15, 2021
(CNN) - If politics still turned on truth and facts, this would be the week when the lie-filled foundations of Donald Trump's movement imploded, destroying his apparent dream of a return to power after the 2024 election.
But it is the ex-President's greatest, most subversive victory that his empire of falsehoods will surely survive new disclosures that lay bare his own abuses of power and the voter-mocking deceit of his political and media enablers.
While there has already been a steady accumulation of shocking evidence of Trump's coup attempt on January 6 and the emptiness of his election fraud claims, recent days put the saga into a horrifying new light. They brought the clearest indicators yet that the entire Make America Great Again infrastructure and Trump's potential next White House campaign rest on hogwash and the whitewashing of history.
The House select committee probing the January 6 insurrection has released fresh details of the elaborate behind-the-scenes plot to subvert the certification of President Joe Biden's election. There's embarrassing new evidence of how conservative media stars were privately alarmed by the attack by Trump's mob but quickly reverted to amplifying his lies to millions of Americans they willfully deceived. And a major new Associated Press survey of 2020 swing states contested by Trump found cases of voter fraud were sparse and far from the nationwide conspiracy he claims. There are separate reports that three Florida residents were recently arrested and charged with election fraud -- two of whom were registered Republicans.
This week will be remembered for Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the vice chair of the House committee, bringing receipts that exposed the hypocrisy of Trump's extended orbit.
Texts from Republican lawmakers, Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News prime-time anchors to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows show that they knew the attack on the Capitol was a disaster and wanted it to stop.
Yet those same conservative heroes are part of a political media operation that spent the last 11 months obscuring what really happened, in many cases denying the truth of Biden's election win and fueling lies about voter fraud that are feeding anti-democratic extremism. All to preserve a meal ticket named Trump.
In another development fraught with chilling implications, the committee revealed that Meadows wrote in an email that the National Guard would be present to "protect pro Trump people" on January 6. It was the latest example of a habit of weaponizing sacred American institutions for Trump's political gain.
The former President, meanwhile, encapsulated perverted political values that now rule much of the Republican Party and will likely produce its next presidential nominee. He recently declared that former Vice President Mike Pence had been "mortally wounded" because he had refused to steal the election during his ceremonial role in certifying Biden's victory. The ex-President was giving voice to a GOP incentive system that now rewards coup attempts and despotic behavior over honoring the Constitution.
The scale of the evidence coming to light this week is remarkable. But daily bombshells about what happened on January 6 often have the effect of diminishing the shock value of Trump-related outrages. And voters have pressing concerns like the rising cost of living and a pandemic that will shortly drag into a third year. Yet this week's developments are important not just because they chart the staggering breadth of Trump's election conspiracy. They are also exposing the lies on which his future political prospects are built -- and on which multiple Republican-run states have passed laws that make it harder to vote and easier to steal future elections.
Trump's biggest confidence trick
There has always been an aura of a con man about Trump, from his days as a bankruptcy-plagued real estate chancer who adopted a persona as the master of the art of the deal. His presidency opened with false claims about the size of his inauguration crowd that in retrospect augured an administration constructed on untruths -- or what his former senior aide Kellyanne Conway once dubbed "alternative facts."
It is now clear that his big lie that "frankly, we did win this election" is the most audacious and damaging confidence trick of his career.
A few Trump supporters are seeing the light, including Dustin Stockton, one of the organizers of the January 6 rally that preceded the insurrection, who found himself subpoenaed by the House committee -- and lacks the means to wage a legal battle like Trump's wealthy political guru Steve Bannon.
"Essentially, he abandons people when the going gets tough for people. And, you know, in some ways, it's embarrassing to think that in a lot of ways, we bought into what essentially turned out to be a bluff or a con," Stockton told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday.
Yet Stockton is an outlier. Trump's popularity among Republican voters makes him the preemptive favorite for the GOP's 2024 nomination. He has the power to shape the political careers of those willing to accept his extremism -- as his raft of endorsements of midterm election candidates, nationally and in the states, shows. The Trump story, meanwhile, makes millions for conservative media outlets and stars -- giving them an incentive to promote a false alternative reality that has won over legions of viewers.
The mendacity of the conservative media propaganda machine was exposed by Cheney's reading aloud of texts sent to Meadows by several Fox News powerhouses, including Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, pleading with Meadows to get Trump to intervene on January 6.
"Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home," Ingraham texted. "This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy." Hannity asked the-then chief of staff whether Trump could make a statement that would tell the people at the Capitol to leave.
Both anchors later condemned the violence on January 6. But they have been among Fox News personalities who attack the investigation as a political vendetta against Trump rather than a probe into one of the worst assaults on democracy in American political history. And television disinformation is only a small part of the problem; social media networks teem with falsehoods about the election and boost Trump's lies in what is almost a fact-free zone.
Trump's Orwellian method
Trump's enablers have reacted to the disclosures of recent days by adopting the signature move of their leader -- spinning a false reality to excuse his behavior and mislead his supporters about what really happened.
Meadows, for instance, appeared on Hannity's show on Monday and concocted a story that contradicts reports that the former President had cooled his heels and watched on TV as his rioting supporters marauded through the Capitol.
"At the end of the day, they're going to find that not only did the President act, but he acted quickly," Meadows said. The former chief of staff has since been cited for criminal contempt by the House for refusing a subpoena to testify to the committee. His tactic was familiar from previous Trump scandals, as he pivoted away from the truth to create a more palatable tale for Trump supporters that absolved the ex-President of culpability.
The approach recalled Trump's own when his pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky to open an investigation into then-candidate Biden and his son Hunter came out. The ex-President simply insisted that their call was "perfect," even though a White House transcript showed repeated abuses of power as he used military aid as a carrot -- a transgression that led to his first impeachment.
This Trump gambit -- also used by conservative news outlets every day -- recalls the party's reality-defying "War is Peace" slogan in George Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four." Trump explained his method in a less literal way in 2018 when instructing followers to distrust their own eyes and non-partisan media and to believe only him. "What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening," he said.
This week's revelations have been damning for Trump, his former aides and the conservative media propagandists who sustain him.
But if history is any guide, the truth will not bring him down.

The Honorable Kevin McCarthy
Minority Leader and Member (CA-23)
U.S. House of Representatives
2468 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Leader McCarthy,
The undersigned conservatives ask that the House Republican Conference act immediately to remove both Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) from the Republican conference due to their egregious actions as part of the House of Representative’s January 6th Select Committee.
As you are aware, this committee has no formal representation from Republicans. Both Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger serve at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). As part of Pelosi’s team, Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger have deliberately sought to undermine the privacy and due process of their fellow Republicans, and those of private citizens, with improperly issued subpoenas and other investigatory tactics designed not to pursue any valid legislative end, but merely to exploit for the sake of political harassment and demagoguery.
The actions of Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger on behalf of House Democrats have given supposedly bipartisan justification to an overtly partisan political persecution that brings disrespect to our country’s rule of law, legal harassment to private citizens who have done nothing wrong, and which demeans the standing of the House.
As duly elected representatives, Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger are free to serve in the House, but they should no longer do so with the privileges granted to members of the House Republican Conference. They should no longer be given access to the benefits of a conference they actively seek to undermine.
We ask that the GOP conference meet immediately to vote on stripping Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger from their membership in the GOP conference. We further inform you that conservative leaders are launching a nationwide movement to add citizens’ voices to this effort.

“The scientific pursuit of biotechnology and medical innovation can save lives. Unfortunately, the PRC (People's Republic of China) is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and its repression of members of ethnic and religious minority groups," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement. "We cannot allow U.S. commodities, technologies, and software that support medical science and biotechnical innovation to be diverted toward uses contrary to U.S. national security,”
The Treasury Department is also set to issue penalties against several Chinese entities, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the soon-to-be-announced moves.
The official, explaining the Commerce Department actions, noted that U.S. intelligence has established that Beijing has set up a high tech surveillance system across Xinjiang that uses biometric facial recognition and has collected DNA samples from all residents, ages 12 to 65, in Xinjiang part of a systematic effort to suppress Uyghurs.
The White House announced last week it would stage a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing China’s “egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in Xinjiang.” U.S. athletes will continue to compete but Biden will not send the usual contingent of dignitaries.
The administration also said this week that it supported bipartisan legislation that bans imports into the U.S. from Xinjiang unless companies can demonstrate the goods were not produced by forced labor.
China has denied any abuses and says the steps it has taken are necessary to combat terrorism and a separatist movement.

LOL. Told ya alky. Kansas dem is correct -
The U.S. labor shortage during the pandemic has helped boost wages for frontline employees like grocery clerks and retail workers at their fastest pace in years. Many restaurant workers have seen their wages jump 12% over the last year, a pay raise of more than $2 an hour.
Because of rising prices, however, those seemingly robust wage gains amount to an increase of only "pennies" per hour once inflation is included, according to a new analysis from the Brookings Institution. The study examined wages at 13 of the biggest and most profitable retail, grocery and fast-food companies in America — companies such as Amazon.com, which recently boosted wages to attract new hires. Together, these businesses employ 5 million workers.
"We're seeing headlines that, yes, wages did go up, but when you take into effect inflation, it's not up very much at all," said Molly Kinder, a co-author of the study and a fellow at Brookings Metro. And workers in these industries "started at such a low level that, even though it's still an almost 10% increase, it's still a very low wage."

Only a fucking moron* thinks a minimum wage job is a viable career, and only a fucking moron* thinks the rise in wages at that level is anything BUT a pittance. Thanks to Slow Joe's record inflation. Inflation that was completely avoidable had we not been so committed to destroying bad orange man.

What law did he break?
Just over a quarter of Republicans accept President Biden as the winner of the 2020 election, according to a new survey that underscores the instability of American democracy and the growing partisan divide over the legitimacy of elections.
"There was a hope there would see growing acceptance of Biden’s victory over time, as people moved away from the 'Stop the Steal' movement after Jan. 6. Instead, we saw the numbers stay in place," said Brendan Nyhan, a Dartmouth political scientist and one of the founders of Bright Line Watch, an organization that monitors the health of U.S. democracy.
Sinking confidence in election outcomes appears to have been fueled by former President Trump's "Big Lie" — his continued claims of voter fraud in key states, even though such allegations were repeatedly discredited in numerous lawsuits and audits. The fallout of such lies was especially evident on Jan. 6, when thousands of Trump supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in a brazen attempt to halt lawmakers' certification of Biden's victory.
Since then, many Republican officeholders and some of the biggest voices in conservative media have clung to the notion that the election was stolen from Trump.
Bright Line Watch's November survey, released Thursday morning, shows that only 27% of Republicans accept Biden as the rightful winner — the exact same figure as in the group's February poll — compared with 94% of Democrats who do.
The survey also shows that the 2020 election and its aftermath have hardened partisan attitudes about future elections, leaving Republicans less confident that their votes will be counted accurately in 2022.
Even amid Trump's constant rhetoric during the 2020 campaign about a potentially rigged outcome, Democrats and Republicans had roughly equal confidence in October 2020 that the coming election would be decided fairly, with 59% of Democrats and 58% of Republicans believing that would be the case.
But the new survey reveals that a partisan gap has opened up in response to that question. Now, 80% of Democrats believe next year's midterm election will be fair, with just 42% of Republicans saying the same.
"That’s a really scary fact for our democracy right now, that so many Republican voters don’t have confidence in the election," said Susan Stokes, another founder of Bright Line Watch and a political scientist at the University of Chicago.
As Trump and so many Republicans have sowed mistrust in last year's election results, they have used their misinformation campaign to justify new laws in several GOP-controlled states to restrict ballot access and, in some cases, allow partisan lawmakers to overrule election.

Nancy Pelosi Owns January 6
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi impeached President Donald Trump in January for her own negligence.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi impeached President Donald Trump in January for her own negligence. As demonstrators flocked to the nation’s capital for a day of protest — some peaceful, some not — the ignored possibility of unrest chalked up to an intelligence failure was even predicted by the Capitol Hill parking attendants.
“Due to the possibility of large scale public protests, access to the Capitol plaza will be restricted,” read an email from the House Parking Team on the eve of the riot. “For the safety and security of personnel on the House campus, we ask that staff strongly consider parking in the Cannon and Longworth House Underground Garages.”
But Pelosi and her team in charge of Capitol security had no idea to prepare for the possibility of turmoil? Worse, reporting shows the speaker’s office deliberately left the Capitol vulnerable.
Four days after the riot, former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who resigned his post in the aftermath, told The Washington Post his request for pre-emptive reinforcement from the National Guard ahead of Jan. 6 was turned down. Sund said House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, overseen by Pelosi, thought the guard’s deployment was bad “optics” two days before the raid. Pelosi and House Democrats had previously condemned the presence of federal troops in the nation’s capital to quell the violent mobs overrunning the city in the name of social justice.
In February, The Daily Caller cited three sources familiar with Irvin’s conversations with the House Administration Committee after the riot. The sergeant of arms said discussions with the speaker’s staff were factors in his “blender of decision making.” The Caller’s sources remained anonymous, “citing the fear of putting a chill on further witnesses to how the security situation unfolded Jan. 6.”
“Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol Grounds, Irving allegedly told House Admin,” The Daily Caller reported.

The claim has been debunked, because the Clinton campaign conned the FBI, Justice Department and, CIA,into investigsting the Hillary Clinton, and members of the Obama into Administration systematically sought to use U.S. government agencies to sabotage a presidential campaign, transition, and presidency, via the use of a foreign national and ex-spy Christopher Steele and his coterie of discredited Russian sources.

Universal vaccine is going to drive you crazy mothrf***r even worse.
The scientific quest for a universal coronavirus vaccine received a boost Wednesday, as three top federal researchers, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, outlined a path to develop new vaccines that could tackle a variety of ailments including Covid-19, some common colds and future viruses.
Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Fauci and two colleagues said the virus that causes Covid-19 is unlikely to be eliminated, and current vaccines are too limited to prevent the emergence of new variants. Other coronaviruses are also likely to spill over from animals to become future pandemic threats, they wrote.
To overcome these problems, the authors argue the research world should “fully commit” to developing a “second-generation” of coronavirus vaccines that would provide broad protection across the genetic spectrum of coronaviruses. They suggest forming an international effort to collect animal coronavirus samples worldwide and developing ethical challenge trials for coronaviruses, among other measures.
During the past two decades, the world has seen four deadly coronavirus outbreaks, including two bouts with SARS in the early 2000s, the emergence of MERS in 2012 and now Covid-19, which has killed more than 800,000 Americans.
The commentary offers no quick fix for the pandemic. But Fauci’s endorsement of the universal vaccine approach could serve as a clarion call and blueprint for scientists.
“It’s good as a roadmap,” Pablo Penaloza-MacMaster, a viral immunologist and assistant professor at Northwestern University, said of the paper. “It creates some scientific clarity: What are the specific hurdles for developing universal vaccines?”
Researchers have been chasing so-called universal vaccines for years. Scientists have been testing universal vaccines against influenza for more than a decade, with the goal of providing long-lasting protection that wouldn’t require a yearly flu shot. The first human clinical trial for a universal influenza vaccine began in 2019; a vaccine has yet to reach the market.
The new paper isn’t the first instance in which Fauci has mentioned the importance of a universal vaccine for coronaviruses. But the emergence of highly mutated variants like omicron, which could compromise the level of protection offered by available vaccines, has made the chase for a long-term solution more urgent.
The National Institutes of Health in September announced that it had invested more than $36 million in university efforts toward vaccines that could neutralize many coronaviruses.
“We are certainly making it a high priority,” Fauci told The Washington Post this month. “There are fundamental scientific challenges before you can actually make a full-court press on this. It isn’t as if you have a clear pathway into a product and all you have to do is dump more resources into it.”
When did this become OK in America ?
It became ok when the democrats discovered two things -
1) They are going to get destroyed in the 2022 midterm elections.
2) They have no viable of competitive presidential candidates for 2024. No one who can beat Trump, therefore Trump must be legally disqualified from running.
Clarity is achieved once you accept that the democrats are pathological liars who have nothing legitimate to offer, the only narratives they advance are false narratives, and that they must cheat in order to "win."
This isn't complicated once you boil it down to it's essence.
The National Institutes of Health in September announced that it had invested more than $36 million in university efforts toward vaccines that could neutralize many coronaviruses.
As the CDC director just admitted that the vaccinated CAN transmit Covid.
LOL.
Who's going to be driven crazy alky?
Not us.
Walensky just let the cat out of the bag.
The vaccinated CAN contract Covid and CAN transmit Covid.
She made a liar out of the great orator President Shitpants.
Priceless.

DAYUM!!!!! You can be dumber than the goat fucker at times, asshole!!!!! If you catch the virus even when vaccinated, why are you surprised that transmission can happen????? Is this an example of why you flunked out of Ag school or are you truly a fucking moron>???????????BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Science and logic are surely not in your wheel house!!!!!
Why are R's so fixated on proving anything but them being stupid with shit like this!!!!!

Paul Gosar's chief of staff went to great lengths to find evidence of voter fraud, court documents say.
In one notable incident, he tried to intercept a plane rumored to be stuffed with fake votes.
He failed. No evidence has emerged for this kind of elaborate voter fraud.
The chief of staff for Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona tried to catch a plane rumored to be full of fake votes, court document say.
The episode is one of the most outlandish in the fruitless search by allies of former President Donald Trump for proof that the 2020 election was stolen.
Gosar's aide, Tom Van Flein, hunted for a plane from South Korea that conspiracy theorists identified as a source of what they thought was election-changing levels of fraud, per documents cited by The New York Times on Thursday.
They found a Korean Air plane, but no proof of stolen ballots.
When a party is hijacked by radicals and uses almost any means necessary to gain and use power for agendas that a majority Americans support, then average independent voters express their approval because they were gaslighted by Trump and Tucker Carlson etc.
That reality apparently terrifies the former President. He claims any system that allows the people to vote for Democrats is a Democratic hoax, the right is afraid of the power of the people.
That's why they have to pass the voting rights act.
One of the most nagging questions about the COVID-19 pandemic for public health authorities, policymakers and the public was whether the vaccines stop transmission.
New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show that in breakthrough cases of the highly transmissible delta variant, the answer is no.
The newly released report showing that vaccinated people can still be superspreaders drove the recent decision by the CDC to once again recommend masks for vaccinated people indoors where case counts are high or substantial.
The viral load of vaccinated people with breakthrough cases is the same as in unvaccinated people, the CDC said Friday.
"High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. "This finding is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation. The masking recommendation was updated to ensure the vaccinated public would not unknowingly transmit virus to others, including their unvaccinated or immunocompromised loved ones."

I think it would be nice if she would share this with her boss, even though he does not possess the cognitive ability to understand it. At least she will have checked that box.
If you catch the virus even when vaccinated, why are you surprised that transmission can happen?????
I'm not surprised at all BWAA.
But it does lay waste to the myth that the vaccine is a panacea.
Slow Joe on the other hand? Now this would definitely surprise HIM.

Unless the people speak in the next two election cycles, we are never going to recover.
That's why they have to pass the voting rights act.
No alky.
The reason why you have to pass the voting rights act is you must codify election theft into law because it's the only way you can win.
Look at the hell scape your team has created in America in less than one year.
You can't run from it and you most certainly can't win on that "record."
You're left with only one option which is to nationalize elections in order to achieve your desired result through outright theft. It's what you did in 2020 writ large.
All you have left are deceptions and LIES.
If the scum at the NY Times is panicked about the next few election cycles then we are definitely on the right track.

Look at the quality of the GOP trump has brought into the big tent of idiots!!!!! Greene, Gosar! Gohmert, Boebert are your ambassadors to authoritarian rule......wellcome to Russia......assholes!!!
What about the Democratic Party?, I asked.
The Democrats are indeed still below the tipping point; therefore, their polarization state is still evolving slowly, or, linearly. But looking at the current policy mood trend and projecting our model slightly into the future, the present large left shift in policy mood due to the Trump era could easily cause the Democrats to tune up their ideological self-reinforcing behavior and let them pass their polarizing tipping point.
The good news, the five authors continued, “is that the Democratic Party is still very much in control of their trajectory.”
Leonard and her co-authors are apprehensive about the future course of the Republican Party:
Even if Republican voters suddenly decide to start punishing extremists in their party, so many other parts of the political process — interest groups, right-wing media, donors — encourage and reinforce the extremism that we expect it would have little effect. In fact, Republican leaders would very likely simply stop listening to Republican voters or ignore elections altogether. Indeed, this is already happening.
In “Polarization and tipping points” Macy — along with Manqing Ma, Daniel R. Tabin, Jianxi Gao and Boleslaw K. Szymanski, all of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute — maps out the risks of escalating partisan hostility, citing the danger of
the existence of a tipping point beyond which the activation of shared interests can no longer bring warring factions together, even in the face of a common threat. Our interest in this problem is motivated by a series of crises that might be expected to activate a broad political identity and unified response: the Great Recession, Russian electoral interference, impending climate catastrophe, a global pandemic and, most recently, the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Congress.
As partisanship becomes a core element of voters’ self-identity and as voters adopt policy stands in line with their party, polarization reaches new and threatening heights, Macy and his four co-authors argue. In an email, Macy wrote:
The most likely outcome of increasing polarization is political paralysis in which the parties are more interested in preventing the other side from winning than in solving problems. We have heard politicians even feel so emboldened that they can publicly acknowledge that their goal is obstruction, not problem solving. That is the most likely outcome of extreme polarization. A less likely but more frightening outcome is that the partisan animosity against the opposition becomes so intense that each side now views the other as “traitors” or “enemies of the people.” When that happens, the party in power may feel justified in changing the rules of the game to prevent the other party from being able to hold it accountable.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Now this is most amusing!!!!

GOP lawmakers in Georgia quietly urged former Sen. David Perdue, who has been endorsed by Trump, not to run for governor

Former Sen. David Purdue announced this month he's running for governor of Georgia.
However, last month, a group of GOP lawmakers wrote a letter urging him not to challenge Gov. Brian Kemp.
Donald Trump has endorsed Perdue over Kemp, whom he had criticized for the outcome of the 2020 election.
A group of Georgia's Republican state senators urged former Sen. David Perdue not to run for governor in a private letter sent last month, Axios reported Wednesday.
Perdue, who served in US Congress from 2015 to 2021, announced earlier this month he is running for governor of Georgia in the 2022 Republican primary against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp.
Perdue earned a swift endorsement from former President Donald Trump, who has skewered Kemp for not doing more to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in his state, which President Joe Biden won.
In the letter obtained by Axios, 25 of Georgia's 34 Republican state senators asked Perdue not to challenge the incumbent.
If the former loses control over the Republican party, it won't get more Democrats elected, but a normal Republican candidate like Pence and a few others, not DeSantis who is a Trump supporter.
Your ignorance of what is really going on with Trump and the GOP is breathtaking, alky.
Trump supporters have LEFT the GOP alky. Renounced it. Dropped their GOP voter registration like I have. The GOP is dead to me, and every time the NY GOP calls me I tell them exactly that.
The GOP is comprised of those who wish to gargle democrats balls, like Cheney, Kinzinger, et.al..
Trump has turned his back on the GOP. This is obvious to all but the most politically ignorant among us. Like you.
Unfortunately, like the truthers here the true aim of America’s contemporary right-wing movement, the restoration and preservation of white hegemony. It is not beyond imagining that Republicans could be prepared, fueled by a mix of fear and provocation, to push the nation over the brink.
They will take arms.

Weaponizing government institutions for political gain is treason.
So the "committee" looking into "treason" actually committed treason
I wonder if they will self-report
And accept the penalty for treason
GOP lawmakers in Georgia quietly urged former Sen. David Perdue, who has been endorsed by Trump, not to run for governor.
Of course they did. WFB Jr. used to call these clowns "well-fed Republicans."
Democrats pat them on the head, give them some table scraps, and tell them to take a seat while they pile-drive the nation into the ground. And well-fed Republicans are happy to comply because they get to keep their safe seats, while the $$$$$$$$$$$ keeps rolling in.
What's not to like about that deal? It's how one becomes a millionaire on $179K/year.

LOL. Told ya alky. Kansas dem is correct -
The U.S. labor shortage during the pandemic has helped boost wages for frontline employees like grocery clerks and retail workers at their fastest pace in years. Many restaurant workers have seen their wages jump 12% over the last year, a pay raise of more than $2 an hour.
Because of rising prices, however, those seemingly robust wage gains amount to an increase of only "pennies" per hour once inflation is included, according to a new analysis from the Brookings Institution. The study examined wages at 13 of the biggest and most profitable retail, grocery and fast-food companies in America — companies such as Amazon.com, which recently boosted wages to attract new hires. Together, these businesses employ 5 million workers."
Americans are poorer this year then last year.
They will take arms.
Only if the need arises to defend ourselves, alky. Trump never created an American Gulag, but Biden and Peloshee did.
We prefer to be guided by the founders:
"The inherent right in the people to reform their government, I do not deny; and they have another right, and that is to resist unconstitutional laws without overturning the government."
—Daniel Webster (1782-1852)
You're too stupid to grasp that most simple concept.
he’s up to 43.8% approval, which is 1.5 percentage points above his Dec. 2 low; his disapproval is at 50.6%, down from a 52.3% peak just before Thanksgiving.
The fact that Joe Biden's approvals are "up" to 43.8% and people on the left are excited about 43.8% is incredibly amusing!

The difference in death rates from Covid-19 between Republican and Democratic counties is becoming even more staggering.
__________
Notice how, after the initial surge swept big city Democratic voting counties horribly, all the Covid surges since then have been handled far better by Democrats than by Republicans.
What explains that?
They listened to Donald.
AND they're STILL listening to Donald.
And dying more.
Sad how the goat fuckers only reason to breath is posting his own stupidity on the blog.......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Must suck being an unemployed loser living in a shit hole of Kansas where dust never takes a day off!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL
Happy Tea Party Day.

Well, let's look at this graph:

and compare it with this graph:

Looks like Biden is at least moving in the right direction while Trump remains static.
