Only 41% of Americans approve of the way he is handling the Supreme Court situation

| Biden to hold his breath until American admit they like him |
This is really a low point for the man. Not only does he suck in every single area, the one opportunity he got to really unite his Party (and maybe even much of America) was an opportunity to pick a new Supreme Court Justice. But he managed (as Joe always seem to) to mess that up as well.
I mean, seriously... how can you actually blow up the idea of picking a Supreme Court Justice before you even announced who it is? Well here is a hint. You tell everyone that only 2% of all people in the country with a law degree are eligible. Everyone else (no matter how qualified) need not apply.
I think that goes to the general purpose of people's fairness. Like it or not the American public is moving away from "wokeness" and "politically correctness' at a pretty hefty clip. Those (like Slow Joe) who want to hang on for dear life are going to find themselves quickly losing support.

When you're illegitimate because you had to lie, cheat and steal to achieve your station in life, then it's justice when the fraud you perpetuated crumbles beneath your feet, and everything turns to shit.

Hey Roger...
Quick question. How much does it cost you to fill your Audi A8 with enough gas to drive to Bonney Lake Washington?"
California ✔ @ $4.75 a gallon.
Audi A8 ($80,000) has a 21.7 gal tank capacity.
During Trump $2.24 × 21.7 = $ 48.60
During Biden $4.75 x 21.7 = $103.07
The U.S. Is Now Energy Independent
February 17, 2022 at 1:14 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 136 Comments
“For decades, politicians have talked about the U.S. achieving energy independence, a seemingly elusive goal of producing enough fuels to avoid relying on the rest of the world to fill up gas tanks and keep electricity flowing,”
Axios reports.
“It’s elusive no more. The U.S. produced more petroleum than it consumed in 2020, and the numbers were essentially in balance in 2021.”
THEN WHY ARE WE HAVING TO PAY SO DAMNED MUCH FOR GAS? ARE WE BEING GOUGED BY THE SUPER WEALTHY?
How Well Could Russia’s Economy Withstand Sanctions?

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) warned that he will block quick passage of a symbolic resolution supporting Ukraine and sending a warning to Russia unless it incorporates changes he wants,
The Hill reports.
Said Paul:
“We have some amendments to it. We believe that it should say nothing in this resolution is to be construed as an authorization of war and nothing in this resolution is to be construed as authorizing the use of troops into Ukraine.”
IDIOT. THE PRESIDENT HAS MADE IT CLEAR WE WILL NOT BE SENDING TROOPS INTO UKRAINE.

A judge ruled that Donald Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., “must answer questions under oath in New York state’s civil investigation into his business practices,” the AP reports.
“The ruling is almost certain to be appealed, but if upheld it could force the former president into a tough decision about whether to answer questions, or stay silent, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination.”
New York Times:
“The inquiry by the attorney general, Letitia James, and a parallel criminal investigation led by the Manhattan district attorney are examining whether Mr. Trump improperly inflated the value of his assets to receive favorable loans.”
YES, WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.
DEVIOUS DONALD!
CROOKED DONALD!

Roughly 73% Are Now Immune to Omicron
February 17, 2022 at 4:53 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 98 Comments
Associated Press:
“About half of eligible Americans have received booster shots, there have been nearly 80 million confirmed infections overall and many more infections have never been reported. One influential model uses those factors and others to estimate that 73% of Americans are, for now, immune to omicron, the dominant variant, and that could rise to 80% by mid-March.”
SUCCESS STORY.
Hi James , nice that we agreed on not vaxing.
McCarthy Endorses Cheney’s Primary Challenger
February 17, 2022 at 5:54 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 9 Comments
“Kevin McCarthy is throwing off tradition and supporting a primary challenger to one of his own members.
But it’s not exactly a surprise — the incumbent is Rep. Liz Cheney,” Politico reports.
“The GOP leader’s decision to wade into the primary battle and support the Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman marks a departure from the status quo of top party leaders protecting their incumbents. It also caps off a dramatic implosion of their relationship that strained after the Jan. 6 attack.”
STILL PRETENDING THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED, KEVIN? FEWER AND FEWER PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT.
CHT , it is time to wield your power and delete all off topic "Trump" posts.
James, any chance you can post on topic?
Biden’s Ukraine Strategy Leans on Diplomacy
February 17, 2022 at 6:07 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“President Biden’s response to Russia’s military aggression along the border with Ukraine is testing whether his career-long reliance on alliance-building can help avert a potential catastrophe in Europe, and so far he has avoided the diplomatic mistakes that dogged his first year in office,”
the Wall Street Journal reports.
“European officials have praised Mr. Biden’s approach, a change from last year, when they faulted the administration’s chaotic handling of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.”
HE IS TURNING THIS AROUND.
Nope, James is off topic.
Bidenomics could be turned around, all it takes is for Joe to reverse his policies.
THEN WHY ARE WE HAVING TO PAY SO DAMNED MUCH FOR GAS?
Well the economics Reverend has the answer to all economic woes. Scream class warfare in bold letters! I took quite a few economics classes that appear to be a waste of everyone's time, since it all boils down to hatred of capitalism... and that was never even once a subject in any of those classes.
So, Reverend... I won't bore you with economic details that you wouldn't understand if someone put a gun to your head, so I will just provide you with the quick and dirty.
it's all slow Joe's fault!
oh wait... sorry
it's all slow Joe's fault!
I forgot. Stupid cliches are always supposed to be in bold.
Trump Pushes Wyoming to Close Cheney’s Escape Hatch
February 17, 2022 at 6:09 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 27 Comments
“Former President Donald Trump and his allies have been privately lobbying Wyoming lawmakers to change the state’s election laws as part of an effort to unseat Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY),” Politico reports.
“On Thursday, Trump endorsed Wyoming legislation that would prevent crossover voting in a primary election. Were the law to pass, Democrats, Republicans, or independents would no longer be able to switch party affiliation on the day of the state’s primary to vote for a candidate in another party.”
______
My, my. Just trying to keep all the many Republicans who despise Donald Trump from voting against him...
So, CH, capitalism is keeping us from lower gas prices even though we have now attained energy independence?
Explain how that can be, if it is not the GREED of the richest capitalists?
BUT CH SAYS
"I won't bore you with economic details that you wouldn't understand."
OH, CH! PLEASE DO! Please DO go ahead and explain to all of us in a way that we can easily understand why that is so.
Explain why I AM WRONG in saying that the simplest, easiest explanation is this:
The GREED of the super wealthy.
Yes, explain that to us, quite simply and plainly. Explain why that is not the truth.
We can wait...
And wait...
And...
Explain why I AM WRONG in saying that the simplest, easiest explanation is this:
You’re completely ignorant on this topic.
Is that simple and easy enough, pedo?
So, CH, capitalism is keeping us from lower gas prices even though we have now attained energy independence?
Well do you believe that someone saying we "attained energy independence" means we no longer import petroleum, Reverend?
I mean, do you really think it is just that simple?
Tt's almost as if the Reverend is oblivious to our supply chain issues of not being able to move products from here to there or that he doesn't understand the concept of how much cheaper it is to use pipelines than it is to use mobile transportation.
That it's cheaper for some of our petroleum to be put on ships and sold internationally. That it is not just a zero sum game where a country the size of the United States can be 100% domestically cut off from the rest of the world on this.
But then again...
he believes that using capital letters makes his points more logical.
On Thursday, Pope Trump endorsed Wyoming legislation that would prevent crossover voting in a primary election. Were the law to pass, Democrats, Republicans, or independents would no longer be able to switch party affiliation on the day of the state’s primary to vote for a candidate in another party.”

And?
That would allow the fate of Republican Liz Cheney and whether she is the Republican nominee left to the Republicans in the state.
Why would you have a problem with that?
Because you want to see Democrats vote in the Republican Primary to keep a crazy old hag who cannot get over Trump in office?
The Deep state conspiracy scheme started when the Kenyan President was elected President in 2007. LMAO
The media have known for years how corrupt the Obama administration and the Biden administration were as they colluded with the Hillary campaign and DNC to destroy Trump, before and after he was elected. They used fictional documents as an excuse to spy on and destroy Trump. Massive amounts of taxpayer money and government personnel were illegally used for political purposes. Most of the media not only didn't care, but perpetuated the lies for years in their attempt to destroy Trump. Now special prosecutor Durham has a filing detailing a small portion of the illegal spying and criminal activity, and most of the media have downplayed or buried the report. The NYT, in collusion with other leftist media outlets, has finally started attacking the story instead of reporting the story. Hillary and others must be protected. They say it is hard to understand, it is old news, and it may be misinformation. The truth hasn't mattered to the NYT and other media outlets for a long time. There is nothing hard to understand about the story that dwarfs Watergate. They lied and they spied.
Of course Roger...
We all know that this is a lie. Not like we spent 25 million dollars on a special counsel to try to prove Trump was a Russian spy or anything.
I mean had we done something like that, based on something crappy dossiers paid for by his political opponent as the excuse to do so.... well then we might be able to say that.
But did that actually happen?
We all know that the real story here is rumors that Trump ate top secret documents and anyone who is sane would support another 25 million dollar Special counsel to prove he did.
Republicans are the most corrupt in history
Data shows odd clusters of Miami voters flipping to Republican Party

Several longtime voters allege their political affiliation was changed — without their consent — after interacting with canvassers.
An unusual concentration of Miami voters flipped their political party affiliations during a recent four-month period, leading to suspicion on whether some had their affiliation changed without consent, the Miami Herald reported Friday.
After analyzing Miami-Dade voter registration data, the Herald found that 5,428 residents had their party affiliation changed between October and January. The registration changes where centered in often low-income, multi-family residential buildings. Of those, 103 voters in the twin Haley Sofge Towers public housing complex alone had their party affiliation switched to Republican.
The phenomenon is being looked into by county investigators after several longtime voters allege their political affiliation was changed — without their consent — after interacting with canvassers.
The matter first drew interest after WPLG Local 10 News released a report in December about an 84-year-old Little Havana resident who claimed his registration switched without his consent despite being a “lifelong Democrat.” Since then, several voters have spoken to media about being surprised by their registration change.
The Herald’s analysis found that more than half of all changes since October resulted in party affiliations switching to Republican, while just under 13% switched to Democrat.
A lawyer who faces a criminal charge stemming from special counsel John Durham 's probe into the FBI's investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign on Thursday asked a federal judge to dismiss the case against him.
Michael Sussmann requested the dismissal of his single criminal count of making a false statement to the FBI, calling it in court papers “a case of extraordinary prosecutorial overreach.”
“Allowing this case to go forward would risk criminalizing ordinary conduct, raise First Amendment concerns, dissuade honest citizens from coming forward with tips, and chill the advocacy of lawyers who interact with the government,” Sussmann argued in a 29-page motion to dismiss filed in a Washington, D.C.-based federal court.
Sussmann, a national security attorney, pleaded not guilty following his indictment in September accusing him of lying during a 2016 meeting with a top FBI lawyer concerning the Trump Organization’s alleged links to a Russian bank.
Durham has alleged that Sussmann hid his relationship with the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton — the main political rival of then-candidate Trump — when he presented the FBI with findings from a cybersecurity firm alleging suspicious internet activity between Trump’s business and the Russian bank.
The FBI later concluded there was insufficient evidence to establish that a secret back-channel existed between the two entities.
In his Thursday dismissal request, Sussmann again denied any wrongdoing related to his September 2016 meeting with James Baker, then-general counsel of the FBI, arguing that both the FBI and Baker knew the political nature of his work, given their awareness that Sussmann counted the Democratic National Committee among his clientele.
Sussmann also argued in his filing to U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, that his supposed false statement had no legal significance in the FBI’s decision to look into the suspicious cyber activity, since subsequent press reports detailed the same information.
“At the end of the day, Hillary Clinton herself could have publicly handed over the Russian Bank-1 Information and the FBI would still have investigated it,” Sussmann’s filing argued.
The latest development comes days after Sussmann’s lawyers accused Durham of using the case to amplify a right-wing media narrative depicting Trump as having been unfairly persecuted by law enforcement.
LMAO
Poor Donald Trump has been prosecuted because the government has TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS
Yes because I believe Durham is using the case to amplify a right-wing media narrative depicting Trump as having been unfairly persecuted by law enforcement.
He's finding the truth because he's looking where Mueller would not.
Yes because I believe Durham is using the case to amplify a right-wing media narrative depicting Trump as having been unfairly persecuted by law enforcement.
That is his job Roger.
To find out whether or not the FBI had justified reason for opening an investigation, whether they had reason to file for FISA warrants, and ultimately to what degree Trump's political opponents had to do with this investigation being started in the first place.
Sussman went to the FBI with a fake tip. He claims he did not believe that the tip was fake, but when asked if he was being paid by someone or had a client involved... he said no.
His argument is that question of his client was irrelevant.
But if it was irrelevant why is it standard practice for the FBI to ask it?
I mean seriously, Roger. Had a Trump attorney gone to the FBI in 2020 and said they had real dirt on Biden... and then that attorney lied and said he did not work for Trump and subsequently that Trump Attorney helped get an FBI investigation started against Biden, even though the information in the tip was fake and that Trump attorney likely knew it was fake.
Then Trump tweeted about it a week before the election...
You would have been livid and calling for not just the attorney's head, but Trump's head as well.
You have to accept it Roger.
The entire Russia Trump thing was fake. An FBI investigation. Three congressional investigations. 25 million two year long special counsel probe...
all fake. never even the slightest bit of real evidence to tie Trump to Russia and the only indictments surrounding the entire thing was a fake indictment against Russian companies that fell apart as soon as they asked for discovery.
All fake Roger.
All of it!
100% made up conspiracy that the left chased for two year.
Durham's job is not just to see why this fake investigation took place, who was responsible for starting the fake investigation, and who should be held accountable for the fake investigation.
But ultimately nothing like that should EVER happen again.
You seem to think that one politician lying about their political opponent and feeding fake tips to the FBI to get an investigation started is what? Good clean fun?
Trump was not your President in 2020.

Axios reports.
“It’s elusive no more. The U.S. produced more petroleum than it consumed in 2020."
Well I
You believe the Clinton campaign in 2016, paid to have shadowy cyber spies “infiltrate” not just Trump’s campaign, but his White House as well.
Durham alleged nothing of the thing
In fact, Durham did not allege that anything was infiltrated, and spoke of an episode that unfolded when Obama was in the White House, not Trump.
The fake evidence to tie Trump to Russia happened when Obama was in office.
America Greatness supports Putin.
Remind Russia It Is Part of the West
Today, the world is faced with a menacing Communist China that destroys cultures and communities in the name of unity under its ruling party. Russians should revolt against this, as they have before.
By Gavin Wax
February 12, 2022
Following Europe’s devastation in World War II, it was unthinkable that a united Germany would become a member in good standing of the West, let alone its frequent standard-bearer. Since reunification, however, the German economy has become the lifeblood of the European Union and the Eurozone. Given that Germany exerts an almost hegemonic force throughout Europe through EU institutions, it is difficult to conceive of a European Union in which Germany is not an integral part.
To accept this large role for Germany—the twice-defeated paragon of post-Prussian militarism—would have been unthinkable for any American, Frenchman, or Briton in the immediate aftermath of those wars. At that time, the West saw its role as rebuilding Germany outside of the Soviet sphere of influence. Over time, however, Germany grew beyond the modest goals of the denazification campaign and Marshall Plan.
Similarly, it is hard to imagine a Russian Federation today that stands with the free nations of the West, let alone serves as one of its standard-bearers. With Russian-backed incursions into South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 2008, the annexation of Crimea in 2014, and the congregation of 100,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, such a role seems inconceivable. But the result—the unimaginable vaunting of the Russian Federation from pariah to leader—could be similar. The path to get there need not be.
The West, under the direction of the American intelligence community, decided to manipulate Joe Biden, alleging that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been planning an imminent invasion. Given that Putin understands the significance of a military conflict with the West or, even barring that, the potential for economic upheaval wrought by comprehensive sanctions on the Russian economy, it seems improbable that he would pursue such a strategy. Instead, he has engaged in a game of brinkmanship that retains Ukraine as a buffer but decreases the likelihood that it will join NATO in the foreseeable future.
Putin’s image is predicated upon personal and national strength. It is doubtful he will walk away with his head bowed or initiate a new war for the conquest of Ukraine, only to find himself with a NATO border rather than a buffer. More probably, the Biden Administration and the American intelligence community are exacerbating the threat of a Russian invasion (which has no strategic significance to the safety of American territorial interests or security) to distract from the growing problem that the West is not inclined to face: Red China. With or without Putin, the Russians can and should be part of the inevitable Western alliance standing against Red China and the genocidal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime that rules it.
Today, Russians can choose to avoid war and the mistakes made by the more militaristic, pre-war Germans. They can prevent the humiliation of the kind of war whose destruction and shame are not yet known. They can take what should, in any event, be their rightful place at the table of Western cultures and nations. After all, Russian culture in so many ways is linked to the Western experience. Yet, politically and militarily, it stands across a chasm.
Despite what will surely be further intervention by the intelligence community and corrupt Biden officials to villainize Russia, the historic Russian nation holds a unique position as the great bridge between East and West. Given the current state of the East, where a technocratic regime has melded Stalinist ideology with cutting-edge (mostly stolen) technology to create a brutal autocracy, the West would benefit from a more substantial presence in that sphere of influence.
You believe the Clinton campaign in 2016, paid to have shadowy cyber spies “infiltrate” not just Trump’s campaign, but his White House as well.
Well Roger... all Durham is claiming is that Trump Towers, the White House, and Trump's personal residence were monitored for IP traffic. This has been pretty much stipulated, just that the person in question claims it was all for legitimate reasons.
You can "make up" what you say "I" believe. But I will just stick with what Durham is claiming at this point...
How's that?
So instead of putting words in my mouth.
Why not just go with what we know (not with your crazy allegations).
Why is that so fucking hard, Roger?
Btw... I am pretty sure you actually have believed or still do:
1) Trump was a Russian agent in cahoots to steal the 2016 election
2) Trump had a secret back channel to steal the 2020 election and was literally responsible for the riot
3) Trump ate top secret documents and flushed others down the toilet
4) Trump committed abuse of power for mentioning an investigation into Hunter Biden (while you defend the Biden DOJ and others investigating Trump left right and center).
I could go on and on with your crazy conspiracy theories about the bad orange man all day.
You have to literally make shit up that I didn't say.
Which is why you are in a loony bin right now!
Russia’s Military Pullback Was a Ruse
February 17, 2022 at 11:39 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 27 Comments
“U.S. officials have obtained intelligence that Russia’s announced military pullback from Ukraine’s border was a deliberate ruse to mislead the United States and other world powers,”
the Washington Post reports.
“The souring optimism that it would be possible to avoid conflict came just days after a flicker of hope, when Russian leaders signaled they would begin to draw down the more than 150,000 troops they have massed at Ukraine’s border.
That announcement was accompanied by Kremlin-produced videos of what they claimed were tanks and other heavy equipment leaving border areas by rail car.
U.S. officials now believe it was an effort to mask Russia’s true intentions in the region.”
BIDEN NEVER FELL FOR IT.
When it comes to putting words in other people's mouths, Ch, I believe Fox News and you are guilty of putting words in Durham's mouth.
What Trump and some news outlets are saying is wrong,” Dagon’s lawyers said. “The cybersecurity researchers were investigating malware in the White House, not spying on the Trump campaign, and to our knowledge, all of the data they used was non-private DNS data from before Trump took office.”
Additionally, Durham’s case against Sussmann itself is extremely narrow and doesn’t appear to be very strong, according to national security experts. While Durham said Sussmann falsely told the FBI he didn’t have any clients during their 2016 meeting even though he was representing Clinton and Joffe, Sussmann denied saying that and insisted he was only representing the latter at the time.
Regardless of the increasingly fact-free nature of their spin, it doesn’t appear that Fox News is going to slow down with its “Trump was right” coverage anytime soon.
The ex-president’s favorite morning show Fox & Friends spent much of its three hours on Tuesday morning beating the drum on the story, complete with holding up a New York Post cover that blared “Hillary the Spy.”

Clinton tears into GOP, Fox News at NY Democratic convention
Hillary Clinton slammed former President Trump, the GOP and Fox News while speaking at New York Democratic Convention on Thursday.
"We can't get distracted. Whether it's by the latest culture war nonsense or some new right-wing lie on Fox or Facebook," Clinton told the crowd in New York City.
The former secretary of State and presidential nominee went on to allude to Fox News's coverage of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
This week, Durham accused Michael Sussman, an attorney for Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign who was charged with lying to the FBI, and his allies of exploiting government databases in an effort to gather information on Trump.
Right-wing media outlets, including Fox, have covered the story extensively.
"By the way, they've been coming after me again lately, in case you might have noticed. It's funny, the more trouble Trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theories about me seem to get," Clinton said.
"So now, his accountants have fired him and investigations draw closer to him, and right on cue the noise machine gets turned up doesn't it? Fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again. And as an aside, they're getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks," she continued.
However, Clinton warned Democrats not to pay attention to both extreme ends of the political spectrum.
"Don't let the extremes of any or either side throw us off course. Focus on the solutions that matter to voters. Not the slogans that only matter on Twitter.
"Republicans will claim they’re on the side of parents and family values,
but they will do nothing for actual parents or families," Clinton said.
"Nothing on child care, nothing on paid leave,
nothing to help working moms and dads get by and get ahead."
"They'll ban books
but do nothing about guns.
They'll make it harder for people to vote
but easier for big corporations to bust unions.
They'll let polluters trash our environment
and let Donald Trump trash our democracy," she said.
