That's a funny question coming someone who didn't vote for him because he was the lesser of two evils, but because you admire him. Defending him at every turn like you would defend yourself

I reluctantly voted for him the first time. After I saw that the entirety of the DC Swamp hated him, I KNEW he was the right guy. Then given that he was hunted down by the ENTIRETY of the Democrat party and the weaponized DOJ, I KNEW he was the right guy. Yeah. A lesser man would have hanged it up long ago. He didn't. I admire that.

Laugh all you want, but there isn't a stronger man in the USA right now from that perspective. Not one.

Stronger? Yeah, that's laughable. He ran because he had to run. Besides it keeping him out of some sort of confinement, he's been able to use the office to enrich him and most importantly, his family. Please refrain from your false equivalencies. He's worked the con for his circumstances better than anyone ever. That's what makes it the ultimate 🍿event. He'll be gone before we know it. Not necessarily harmless, but this great country will absorb it and move on

Donald Trump was the only president who lost money during his time as president, which was thought to be driven largely by the COVID-19 pandemic.

And Soetoro was the best con artist of all. He actually had the black community believing he was one of them. He laughs his ass off at that I'll bet.

Hey, I dislike Soetoro as much as you. He's ruined the Democrats. That being said, he's never been POTUS and had that ultimate power. Especially now since the SC ruled the POTUS can be held criminally liable for acts as POTUS.

More Bad News for Dems: Focus Groups See The Party as Weak and Woke

Yesterday Politico published the results of some focus groups that were held shortly after the elect
hotair.com hotair.com

When asked to compare the Democratic Party to an animal, one participant compared the party to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.” Another likened them to koalas, who “are complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.” Democrats, another said, are “not a friend of the working class anymore.”...

“I think what the Democratic elites and their politicians believe is often very different from what the average Democratic voter is,” said a Georgia man who voted for Biden in 2020 but Trump in 2024. “The elites that run the Democratic Party — I think they’re way too obsessed with appealing to these very far-left social progressivism that’s very popular on college campuses.”...

Several participants also raised the transgender attack ad that the Trump campaign deployed against Harris, which showed a 2019 clip of her expressing support for gender affirming surgery for state prison inmates. The ad’s tagline included: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”...

One woman from Georgia who didn’t vote in 2024 said that she didn’t agree with Harris’ “thinking that it’s okay for children to change their body parts.”

Lis Smith: The Democratic brand is in the toilet. Many of the Democrats who succeeded this cycle — our best over-performers in House races, for instance — are people who ran against the Democratic Party brand. Trump tore down the blue wall in the industrial Midwest, but he also expanded his vote the most in our bluest and most urban areas.

Bruni: “The toilet”? Yikes, Lis, that’s severe. Do you really think it’s that bad?

Smith: When the best way to win as a candidate is to run against your own party, it’s that bad. Our candidates down ballot are good. It’s what the “D” next to their name means (the status quo) that people don’t like.

Ryan: The sign outside HQ now should say “Beware: Entering an Echo Chamber.” I said move to Youngstown, but it could be Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Toledo or Detroit or Milwaukee. But I am dead serious that it should not be in Washington or anywhere on the coasts. We need to send a bold signal that we are committed to reconnecting to people out in the real world.

Smith: I agree with Tim that our party has fallen victim to its echo chamber. If I were going to make a requirement of anyone working at the Democratic National Committee or on a presidential campaign, it would first be that they have at least one cycle of experience on a campaign in a red-swing area. You’re less likely to use terms like “justice-involved individuals” and embrace policies like the Green New Deal if you’ve spent a day or two talking to people who aren’t 100 percent down-the-line progressives like you.

OTOH, could have been all the rape and fraud and grift that makes people hate him so much.

I'm not sure the Governor read the opinion he posted, as it doesn't say what he thinks it says.

It has to go to court first to determine if a legislator has effectively abandoned the office by refusing to show, is the way I read it. The governor doesn’t seem to get to determine that on his own. I hope they grant it to him, though. These people were elected to do the state’s business, not pull silly stunts to try and get their way.

'Diva' Crockett slammed in scathing report alleging 'toxic staff environment' where staff is berated to tears

A scathing new report alleges that Dem. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a frequent Trump critic, has fostered a toxic working environment in her congressional office.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

Crockett was criticized earlier this year when she appeared to board a flight while skipping ahead of two passengers in wheelchairs in an incident that is reportedly indicative of her overall personality.

"Her cutting in line in front of a handicapped person is really indicative of the type of person she is," a source close to Crockett told the New York Post. "She is interpersonally very rude and doesn’t get along well with people."
