I guess if you get credit when things go well, you must take fault when things go bad! At least that would seem to be the logical conclusion here. Not sure what Biden thought he was doing taking credit for the DJIA going up (as it basically always does). But now... shouldn't he take the blame?

Trump Team Descends Into Infighting Over January 6
June 14, 2022 at 4:05 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 24 Comments
Aaron Blake:
“We’ve seen just two relatively brief hearings of the House Jan. 6 committee. Yet already members of Donald Trump’s inner circle are accusing one another of
lying under oath,
taking bribes from Democrats,
shilling for Marxists
and being past their primes.
"They’re also rekindling old scandals
involving their one-time allies
and deriding each other’s mental faculties
(including, in one particularly remarkable case, Trump’s).
“The Jan. 6 committee’s work might never lead to criminal charges against Trump or those around him.
But it has certainly prompted an extraordinary round of sniping and infighting.”
That too will be part of the
GOP's bleak historical record.
Reverend....
Serious question.
Do you "really" believe that stuff?
More to the point why on god's green earth would you give a bigger rip about what Trump and his minions might or might not be doing?
One thing I can tell you right now... is there isn't a conservative blog, news site, Twitter account, journalist or television host that is not laughing their asses off at the Jan 6th committee right now.
Do you really believe that stuff, Ch??
(Knee slapping funny.)

Only a small thinker believes his 'reportage' just like only a small thinker is enamored with the obvious childish diversion known as the J6 Kangaroo Court.

Photos Show Election Night Tension at Trump White House
June 14, 2022 at 4:19 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 6 Comments
“A series of photos taken on election night 2020 inside the Trump White House captures the tension as Trump’s family and his top aides track election returns and see Trump’s early lead fade away,” *
ABC News reports.
“The photos, taken by a White House photographer and published exclusively in the book,
Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show,
are a visual representation of the testimony of senior Trump advisers who told the House Jan. 6 committee that they did not believe Donald Trump should declare victory on election night.”

Like you think the trump line of bullshit he won is still true.....HOW CAN THAT BE, LIL SCHITTY?????
So in the we hate Trump show, Thompson says no criminal referral and Cheney showed her true agenda and demands them.
So the republican seems to hate Trump even more than the democrats. Yeah, that's balanced.
You didn't even notice that the pederast just posted the exact same bullshit, alky?
LOL.
Btw, I heard tomorrow's J6 clown show has been cancelled. I mean, they only had 18 months to prepare.
James the big lie – that Trump actually defeated Joe Biden – stands as Republican orthodoxy. More than half of House Republicans voted against certifying the election. Think of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz as Maga’s poster children. The party of Lincoln has morphed into a mosh pit for conspiracy theories and grievance.
The commercials will show how nuts they are
Well I am always curious as to how some liberal from WaPo always seems to know more about what Trump is thinking than even Trump himself.
Does he have hidden drone cameras that follow Trump around and a funky mind reading device that he has implanted in Trump's brain.
Seems like some liberal snot from WaPo would be the last person in the world to have "actual" inside information on Trump.

So in the we hate Trump show, Thompson says no criminal referral
BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! In your alternate universe where truth takes a second place......Trump is GOD and did nothing at all to deserve all this attention he is now getting....Let the facts come out and leave it to people unlike yourself who have a yearning for truth and what really happened.....we know ballz that your mind is sooooooo corupted by white power which is exactly why you fall in line for his crap!!!
As Roger might say...
Trump is going down for observation of justice, conspiracy to commit conspiracy, and tax persuasion.
Show Trials - Then And Now
“The issue is never the issue.”
That’s what Democratic demigod and house philosopher Saul Alinsky taught.
If nothing else, the first episode of the January 6th show confirms that the actors have absorbed that lesson.
The announced issue was the protest at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
But the real issue was the person of Donald Trump and the populist movement he embodies.
That was the half-articulated obbligato that underlay the entire proceeding.
As The Wall Street Journal put it, the House Committee “made clear in its first hearing that its main goal is showing Donald Trump was to blame for the attack on the Capitol, raising the question of what legal or political consequences the former president might face at the end of the probe.”
They made it clear, but they did not really acknowledge it.
Why? Because the ultimate legitimacy of the Committee requires that it be seen as something other than what it in fact was: a nakedly partisan witch hunt.
The Democrats face several problems in putting over this blind.
For one thing, most of the American people do not really care about a brief protest in Washington, D.C., a year and a half ago.
Maybe the carefully curated clips broadcast by the Commission are dramatic.
But many commentators instantly pointed out the tendentious—i.e., untruthful—editing, as when Trump’s direction that protesters make their way “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol was clipped to omit the word “peacefully.”
H. L. Mencken once observed that no one “ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.”
That’s a nicely phrased comment.—
But I suspect we are on the verge of seeing it disproved.

But many commentators instantly pointed out the tendentious—i.e., untruthful—editing, as when Trump’s direction that protesters make their way “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol was clipped to omit the word “peacefully.”

So why did the J6 clown show edit that out alky?

The former President might be the next Al Capone
NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s highest court on Tuesday rejected former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to avoid testifying in the state attorney genera l’s civil investigation into his business practices, clearing the way for his deposition next month.
The state’s Court of Appeals said there was no “substantial constitutional question” that would warrant its intervention in the matter following an intermediate appellate court’s ruling last month enforcing a subpoena for Trump’s testimony.
The court also dismissed a motion by Trump’s lawyers to stay the subpoenas, saying that doing so would be “academic,” since it wasn’t taking up the former president’s appeal in the first place.
Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., agreed last week to answer questions under oath starting July 15 unless the Court of Appeals decided to step in.
A messages seeking comment on Tuesday’s ruling was sent to Trump’s lawyer. Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., declined comment. A message was also left with a spokesperson for Attorney General Letitia James.

A string of troubling inflation reports in recent days is likely to lead Federal Reserve officials to consider surprising markets with a larger-than-expected 0.75-percentage-point interest-rate increase at their meeting this week.
Before officials began their premeeting quiet period on June 4, they had signaled they were prepared to raise interest rates by a half percentage point this week and again at their meeting in July. But they also had said their outlook depended on the economy evolving as they expected. Last week’s inflation report from the Labor Department showed a bigger jump in prices in May than officials had anticipated.

Small businesses haven’t been this pessimistic in 48 years — and high inflation to blame
Small businesses are more pessimistic than ever because of high inflation: The number of owners who expect business to improve in the next six months fell to the lowest level in 48 years.
Those are the results of the latest survey of the National Federation of Independent Business, the nation’s largest lobbying group for small companies.
THE NFIB’s small-business optimism index fell 0.1 points in May to 93.1, marking the fourth decline in five months.

South Dakotans Stand Up For Direct Democracy
State lawmakers are often eager to cut back on the ease with which citizens can pursue ballot initiatives or other forms of direct democracy. That’s why it was notable last week when SOUTH DAKOTA voters defeated a proposed constitutional amendment to raise the bar for passing ballot initiatives from 50% to 60%.
Republican legislators referred the amendment for the ballot just months ahead of a November vote on whether or not South Dakota will expand Medicaid. As Bolts Mag points out, several conservative states’ voters have done so via ballot measures over the past few years, and South Dakota legislators seemed eager to avoid the wave.
Well, who knows if Medicaid expansion will pass in the state. But the expansion vote just avoided a significant hurdle requiring it to garner an additional 10% of the vote thanks to the good people of the Mount Rushmore state.
Most of the Republicans in South Dakota are not crazy Trumpits

At least you aren't supporting them yet.
Following the arrest of members of a white nationalist group called the Patriot Front this weekend, members of the Coeur d'Alene Police Department are getting death threats.
That's according to police chief Lee White who spoke to media during a press conference Monday.
White said the department received more than 100 calls to their office; half were applauding officers for their work, and the other half called to bash police for arresting the Patriot Front members. One call came all the way from Norway.
After heavy rains triggered flooding and rockslides in Yellowstone National Park this week, federal officials shut down Wyoming’s largest tourist destination while the state’s at-large lawmaker remains fixated on an effort to indict former President Donald Trump.
On Monday, the National Park Service announced a full evacuation of the park, which is larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined, and closed its five entrances to visitors.
“Due to record flooding events in the park and more precipitation in the forecast, we have made the decision to close Yellowstone to all inbound visitation,” said Yellowstone superintendent Cam Sholly in a press release keeping the park closed at least through Wednesday. “We will not know timing of the park’s reopening until flood waters subside and we’re able to assess the damage throughout the park.”
At the same time that Wyoming’s largest attraction shut down, the state’s sole congresswoman, Liz Cheney, was in Washington D.C. conducting the second episode of her beloved Jan. 6 Committee’s Soviet-style show trial to prosecute Trump and his supporters. So far, a single tweet Tuesday afternoon is the extent of Cheney’s public addressing of the flooding that’s shut down her state’s top recreational space which drew 4.9 million visits last year and added more than $444 million to local communities in 2020.
The flooding is “probably the worst thing that’s happened disaster-wise since the fires of ’88,” said Jeff Olson, a resident of Cheney’s adopted hometown, in an interview with Jackson Hole News & Guide. “To have all five entrances closed because of one event during the summer season? It’s crazy.”
In 1988, fires ravaged the park all summer burning down about 800,000 acres, or more than a third of the park, according to the National Park Service.
The last two press releases from Cheney’s office, however, are each transcripts of her remarks in Monday’s Jan. 6 hearing. Despite the fact that half of her state is under the jurisdiction of the federal government, the Wyoming lawmaker is also no longer on the House Natural Resources Committee, having instead embraced her vendetta against Trump and his supporters as a hallmark of her time in the lower chamber.
Cheney has faced rising criticism about her absence from the state as she uses her remaining time in Congress to spar with Trump. The Wyoming representative serves as vice chair of the Democrats’ weaponized Jan. 6 Committee, where her appointment from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi followed a prohibition on members appointed by the House minority leader. In April, a Federalist analysis of campaign finance data in her race against Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman revealed Cheney is relying on Beltway donors to fund a fourth term. Only 2 percent of the incumbent congresswoman’s total contributions, with $10 million to spend this cycle, came among Wyoming constituents.
On a rare visit to the state in February, Cheney snubbed voters to mingle with reporters instead.

November is coming
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Biden attempted to calm fears of a crashing economy and coming recession today assuring Americans the economy is every bit as vibrant and healthy as he is.
"You people have nothing to worry about. Best economic recovery ever! The economy is just as fit and healthy as Old Joe!" said Biden to a 12-year-old girl in the junior's clothing section of JCPenney he mistook for an MSNBC reporter. "If I wasn't the picture of health, do you think I could do this?" Biden then got in the push-up position but quickly forgot why he was down there and decided to go to sleep.
The White House's gay-black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed Biden's assertions after flipping through her notebook for 30 minutes to find the correct response. "Yes, the economy is very healthy," she said, "just like the president. I am gay and black."
Economists also insist the economy will be ok, just as long as someone can find a diaper for the economy to wear when it poops its pants and a special guide to help the economy find its way back to its basement when it forgets where it is.
At publishing time, Biden boasted he is even healthier than the economy as the economy is now dead.
RICHMOND, VA—Cigarette maker Marlboro has announced that they have added puberty blockers to cigarettes to make them legal for kids.
"Now that our smooth Marlboro cigarettes can block puberty, 13 and 14-year-old kids should be able to use them legally, without parental consent," said a spokesperson for the company.
Cited as "lung-affirming care," the cigarette manufacturer's decision to supplement their products with puberty blockers has caused progressives to praise Marlboro as a true advocate for children's health.
"Well, if these things have puberty blockers in them, they must be good for kids," said Pediatrician Dr. Ima G. Reumer, who specializes in non-invasive, gender-affirming mastectomies and genital mutilations for tikes. "I'll have my staff add a couple of packs of Marlboros to my patients' recovery packages."
Critics have pointed out the cigarette manufacturer's sordid history of using deceptive marketing tactics to make young, susceptible populations think cigarettes were cool. But these critics were quickly and violently silenced by trans activists for daring to question a child's desire to please woke parents by changing genders.
At publishing time, Anheuser-Busch announced plans to dip their toe in the lucrative vulnerable-children market by adding testosterone to their beer, thus making it legal for kids.
President Biden will warn CEOs of the nation's largest oil companies on Wednesday that he's considering invoking emergency powers to boost U.S. refinery output, according to a letter obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: Biden's direct engagement with the oil giants is part of an ongoing White House effort to tame fuel prices despite limited options — and cast oil companies as responsible for consumers' higher bills.
The letter signals how gasoline and diesel prices have become both an economic and political shock reaching the highest levels of the administration.
What he's saying: Biden tells seven big refiners and fuel companies that he's "prepared to use all reasonable and appropriate Federal Government tools and emergency authorities to increase refinery capacity and output in the near term."
"I understand that many factors contributed to the business decisions to reduce refinery capacity, which occurred before I took office," he writes. "But at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable."
Adding an olive branch, the letter — sent to the heads of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP America, Shell USA, Phillips 66, Marathon and Valero — calls for them to offer "concrete, near-term solutions."
Biden says he wants ideas to address inventory, price and refinery capacity issues in the coming months, as well as transportation measures to bring fuel to market."The crunch that families are facing deserves immediate action," Biden writes.
Between the lines: In seeking help from the oil industry, Biden is walking a political tightrope, eager to lower the cost at the pump without alienating his base, which backs policies to combat climate change.
Zoom out: Average U.S. gasoline prices have risen above $5 per gallon — fueling wider inflation, hitting consumers and creating political peril for Democrats ahead of the midterm elections.
"With prices for your product where they are today, you have ample market incentive to take these actions, and I recognize that some of you have already begun to do so," he writes in calling for increased supplies of gasoline, diesel and other refined products.
Democracy Dies in Darkness
New details emerge of Oval Office confrontation three days before Jan. 6
Jeffrey Clark, a mid-level Justice Department official, wanted Trump to name him attorney general in a plan aimed at potentially overturning the election
By Michael Kranish
June 14, 2022 at 6:00 a.m. EDT
Three days before Congress was slated to certify the 2020 presidential election, a little-known Justice Department official named Jeffrey Clark rushed to meet President Donald Trump in the Oval Office to discuss a last-ditch attempt to reverse the results.
Clark, an environmental lawyer by trade, had outlined a plan in a letter he wanted to send to the leaders of key states Joe Biden won. It said that the Justice Department had “identified significant concerns” about the vote and that the states should consider sending “a separate slate of electors supporting Donald J. Trump” for Congress to approve.
In fact, Clark’s bosses had warned there was not evidence to overturn the election and had rejected his letter days earlier. Now they learned Clark was about to meet with Trump. Acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen tracked down his deputy, Richard Donoghue, who had been walking on the Mall in muddy jeans and an Army T-shirt. There was no time to change. They raced to the Oval Office.
As Rosen and Donoghue listened, Clark told Trump that he would send the letter if the president named him attorney general.
“History is calling,” Clark told the president, according to a deposition from Donoghue excerpted in a recent court filing. “This is our opportunity. We can get this done.”
Donoghue urged Trump not to put Clark in charge, calling him “not competent” and warning of “mass resignations” by Justice Department officials if he became the nation’s top law enforcement official, according to Donoghue’s account.
“What happens if, within 48 hours, we have hundreds of resignations from your Justice Department because of your actions?” Donoghue said he asked Trump. “What does that say about your leadership?”
Clark’s letter and his Oval Office meeting set off one of the tensest chapters during Trump’s effort to overturn the election, which culminated three days later with rioters storming the U.S. Capitol. His plan could have decapitated the Justice Department leadership and could have overturned the election.
Clark’s actions have been the focus of a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation and an ongoing probe by the Justice Department’s inspector general, and now are expected to be closely examined during June hearings by the House committee investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021
His plan could have decapitated the Justice Department leadership and could have overturned the election.

Rosen told Trump that the Justice Department could not “flip a switch and change the election,” according to notes of the conversation cited by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I don’t expect you to do that,” Trump responded, according to the notes. “Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.” The president urged Rosen to “just have a press conference.”
Rosen refused. “We don’t see that,” he told Trump. “We’re not going to have a press conference.”
A top Clark associate, meanwhile, prepared to send him a draft of the letter to state legislatures.

This qualifies as a political earthquake. In a special primary election to fill out the term of former Rep. Filemon Vela, who resigned his House seat in March, GOP candidate Mayra Flores received 50.98% of the vote, making a runoff election unnecessary. Re-elect Flores will represent the Texas 34 Congressional District that runs along the Gulf Coast to the Mexican border, and which is 84.54% Hispanic.
Hispanic voters are dumping the Democrats, a trend that has the potential to doom the party at a national level.

Keisha Lance Bottoms to Join White House Staff
June 15, 2022 at 6:39 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 5 Comments
President Biden is tapping former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms to replace Cedric Richmond as one of his most senior aides, bringing a Democratic rising star and former VP contender into the White House at a critical juncture, Axios reports.
November is coming
Republican Mayra Flores flips Texas House district red in special election
Flores will be the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House
Republican Mayra Flores is projected to win a special election in Texas' 34th Congressional District, flipping a House seat after Rep. Filemon Vela, who held the seat for nearly 10 years, resigned in March and vacated the seat.
Flores, who had 51% of the vote to Democratic candidate Dan Sanchez' 43% when The Associated Press called the race, will become the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House. Her family moved to the United States when she was 6 years old.
Flores will finish out the remainder of Vela's term, which expires in January, and Republicans were eager to win the seat and gain new ground in the Lone Star state to represent the district that spans east of San Antonio with parts along the coast to Brownsville. As currently drawn, the 34th Congressional District will essentially be dissolved later this year after a newly redrawn map favoring current 15th Congressional District Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, the Democratic nominee for November's general election to represent the 34th District, was constructed.

Markets Lose Faith that Fed Can Handle Inflation
June 15, 2022 at 6:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 38 Comments
“The Federal Reserve’s missteps in waiting too long to tackle the greatest run-up in prices in four decades has shaken trust across markets and the American public that it is up to the task of curbing inflation,” the Washington Post reports.
“On the eve of a high-stakes Fed policy announcement, investors, economists and policymakers were on edge over how sharply the Fed would raise interest rates to deal with inflation, which hit a new peak in May.”
“Financial market volatility and losses deepened on Tuesday, fueled by fears that the Fed continues to misjudge inflation and will come down too hard on the economy, prompting a recession. The S&P 500 has fallen into bear market territory — a 20 percent fall from the most recent high — and all the indexes have accelerated losses for the year.”

“So the White House has started to change up its messaging on inflation, even though President Joe Biden has limited tools at his disposal to battle the crisis. The president stepped up efforts to draw contrasts with Republicans, unleashing a series of new attack lines Tuesday in a speech delivered amid a flurry of sobering headlines on rising costs and interest rates.”
“But with the midterms rapidly approaching, voters’ patience appears likely to run out – and the president and party in power stand poised to pay the political price.”

There may never be a new refinery built in the US despite surging gasoline prices as policymakers move away from fossil fuels, according to Chevron Corp.
“We haven’t had a refinery built in the United States since the 1970s,” Chief Executive Officer Mike Wirth said in an interview on Bloomberg TV. “My personal view is there will never be another new refinery built in the United States.”

Will Trump be the first president to be found guilty of an attempted violation of the Constitution?
It's looking more and more and more that way.

Here’s everything the Fed is expected to announce, including the biggest rate hike in 28 years

The FBI's top national security official had dozens of improper meetings with journalists and accepted tickets from one journalist to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, interactions that FBI officials said were a "no-no" and "dangerous."
Michael Steinbach, who served as an FBI executive assistant director, failed to report the gifts on his federal financial disclosures, according to an inspector general report obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. He met regularly from 2014 until his abrupt retirement in February 2017 with 7 reporters and had contact with 21 others. His interactions with journalists overlapped with his work on major counterterrorism cases and Crossfire Hurricane, the ill-fated investigation into collusion between the 2016 Donald Trump campaign and Russia.

Such a big rate hike means that the fed was caught flat footed and is being reactive rather than preemptive.
Add her to the list of admin officials in need of impeachment
I still think the Fed. Will up rates 50 basis points.
The Federal Reserve has been 16 months too late as they bitterly clunge to alkynomics "transitory inflation ".
Leave Joe Biden Alone

Tom Nichols:
“The Joe Biden who ran in 2020 appeared wiser, sadder, somewhat deflated, and seemed to be taking on the presidency as a public service and a burden. Time and tragedy had tempered Biden, and I liked him even more than I did in his flashier, Jason Sudeikis–like youth. These days, I think he’s done a pretty good job, especially given the fact that he’s dealing with a pandemic, revelations about an attempted American coup d’état, and an economic slowdown over which he had no control.
“Oh, and by the way:
He’s also managed (so far) to head off World War III and a possible nuclear conflict.
We seem to forget that this is Job One for every American president, but while we’re griping about the gas prices (over which Biden also has no control),
the Russians are replaying the Eastern Front against 40 million Ukrainians
and also threatening NATO.
It’s been reassuring to have a steady hand in charge of our foreign policy.”
Imagine the inflation rate if Manchin and Sendmail hadn't blocked all that additional Biden plan spending

We don't normally impeach government officials who only make mistakes. Trump did more than merely make mistakes. He crossed far over the legal line.

QAnon-linked candidate wins Republican nod for Nevada’s top elections post
Jim Marchant has said that he ran for secretary of state at the urging of Juan O Savin, a prominent QAnon influencer.
Jim Marchant, a QAnon-linked candidate who has unabashedly embraced the idea of overturning future election results, won the Republican nomination to be Nevada’s top election official on Tuesday.
Marchant has said that he ran for secretary of state at the urging of Juan O Savin, a prominent QAnon influencer. After losing a congressional bid by more than 16,000 votes in 2020, Marchant claimed he was the victim of fraud, but failed to produce any evidence of it in a lawsuit seeking to overturning the result.
He has told voters that their vote hasn’t mattered for decades because Nevada’s leaders have “been installed by the deep state cabal”.
Sounds very familiar here 🤔
Exactly right Myballsinthewoodsagain.

The Future Criminal Case Against Donald Trump
June 15, 2022 at 10:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
Neal Katyal:
“What would criminal charges against Donald Trump look like?
Obstruction of an official proceeding is a serious offense that requires the prosecution to show that a defendant obstructed,
or attempted to obstruct,
an official proceeding
and that the defendant did so corruptly.
The official proceeding part of this is clear —
by law, on Jan. 6, Congress and the vice president must certify the votes.
There appears to have been an orchestrated plot by some
to try to interfere with that certification —
the question is really whether the former president was part of that plot.
“The committee has presented evidence suggesting that Mr. Trump,
along with the lawyer John Eastman,
and perhaps others such as the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows,
and Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official,
attempted to interfere with the election certification on Jan. 6.”
_______
In other words, as was earlier suggested:
They better all get the best f'ing criminal lawyers money can hire.
More Americans have become the bottom class in the US since Bidenomics took over.
Building the bottom up Economy defined = more people enter poverty.
Bidenomics, so much losing.

The 2022 Midterms Won’t Predict 2024
June 15, 2022 at 11:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
Mark Mellman:
“In the eight worst midterms for the party in control of White House since 1938, the party holding executive power lost between 45 and 81 House seats.
"Two years later, that same party won reelection to the White House in more than half — five of the eight — cases.
“The three worst midterm performances occurred in 1938, 2010, and 1994. Two years later, each of the Democratic presidents who presided over those debacles won reelection.”

This is why they are calling so many people who apparently are mind-readers or soothsayers who can dispute what Donald Trump stated and still states himself.
The argument has to be that Trump actually isn't in the 53% of the country that believes there was election fraud that might have changed the outcome of the election...
Even though he maintains that he is one of those 53% and has maintained that from the beginning.... Pelosi wants to prove that he doesn't believe what he says he believes.... all without actually having Trump actually state as much.
It's good yuks to watch the Democrats melt down like this...
Now they are losing traditional Democratic Hispanic strongholds...
since they lost Hispanics.
But hey... they have those Trans and non-binary people. That will make up for losing Hispanics and many blacks.
