This is what happens when you let people use their EBT’s to purchase Lattes.

You could move to Seattle and vote them out, contribute to their opposition or just use it to reinforce your narrative.

article in a Prague newspaper......with which i completely agree.
"The danger to America is not Joe Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

Same claim, new person to blame
While the most recent circulation of the quote targets Biden supporters, the quote has been making its way through the internet since at least 2010, replacing Biden with other American presidents, including Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Obama appears to be the earliest and most common subject of the quote.
It's not limited to American politicians, either. The quote was also used around the world targeting political figures including former President Jacob Zuma in South Africa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Canada, former President Noynoy Aquino in the Philippines and former Prime Minister John Key in New Zealand. |

Here are things that are true:
1) There is ABUNDANT public evidence that a good number of Trump associates, INCLUDING Trump, are being investigated.
2) It is a good thing that an already existing investigation into the son of the most powerful person in the country can continue w/o interference--it's what we wanted, but were deprived of, with Kushner and Don Jr and Trump and Stone and Rudy and Manafort.
3) We should be pursuing sleazy influence peddling in both parties.
Please, someone, give Lanny Davis the same scrutiny we want Paul Manafort to get!!
4) EVEN GLENN GREENWALD admitted that the back story to the Hunter Biden laptop story didn't hold together, especially given the involvement of suspected RU agent dangle Rudy G, and DOJ was already investigating anyway. It was ALL about distracting you pre-trial.
5) There is zero evidence that David Weiss is conducting himself with the recklessness, the sloppiness, and the fundamental preference for Russian hackers over Hillary Clinton (or Joe Biden) that John Durham is investigating with.
6) Investigations do not always result in prosecutions, and often there are good reasons for it.
With Bill Barr, there were terrible reasons for it.
But there's no reason to believe DOJ is not pursuing what it can as aggressively as possible.

except none of the previous presidents saw this kind of surge in oil, inflation, crime, illegal border crossings at the same time.
there’s a reason why his approval ratings are where they are.
the quote is uniquely suited to this presidency.

I think 81 Million Americans thought that statement was far more applicable to the last guy
You and the media are the ones who think perfection is required

nope. last guys accomplishments were way superior. which is why a record number of americans said they were better off under the last guy.
if the last guy runs again in 2024, democrats are in good shape. If not, the democrats are in serious trouble.
what plays well in san francisco doesnt olay well in NC and OH. i don’t get why democrats can’t grasp that.
a normal, moderate democrat would be very tough in a general
election. but such a democrat can’t win the primary. same is sort of tru within the gop but not to that degree. Trump was not a radical conservative.

Oh, the sole poll 
Sorry, Americans did not pick the loser when it counted.
America & the entire free world are fortunate that Joe Biden, and not Donald Trump, is President right now. |

show me a poll that shows that america didn’t like trumps policy accomplishments. normally his crushing defeat at re election would indicate that. but his election rout was also likely a rejection of his infinite personal moral lapses.
his policies are popular. all polling suggests that. not one poll.
anyway, we’ll see in november, won’t we. I’m looking forward to it. You?

Fact is, Putin hasn’t changed. He first invaded Ukraine in 2014, which Trump claimed the people of Crimea somehow welcomed. He poisoned Navalny while Trump was president. He twice interfered in US elections in which Trump was a candidate. SolarWinds hack was on his watch as well
But you just keep on believing

If the early reports on the meeting between Biden and Xi are accurate - it’s pretty clear the US has strengthened its position as the dominant global power.
Never would’ve happened under Trump. Never.
