U.S. Politics

[Richard Smith]

The truth comes out slowly when the media and corrupt legal system protect a political candidate.  It does eventually come out. though.  So many lies have been told and unfortunately the truth emerges only after elections are over.   What happens now?  My guess is that the Dem establishment puts the screws to Dirty Hunter and blames him for all the corruption.  He takes the fall as a means to pressure Old Joe to drop out of the race.  Old Joe pardons Dirty Hunter on his way out the door.  Newsom runs and picks Stacey Abrams as his VP.  They win in a landslide as the public is desperate for anyone other than Old Joe even though Newsom's policies and results are as bad or worse than Ukraine Joe because Gavin Newsom looks good on camera and not like a lost dementia patient.


"On July 26, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $10,000 wire from Wang Xin. On August 2, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $250,000 wire from Jonathan Li and Tan Ling. Both wires originated in Beijing and Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home is listed as the beneficiary address for both wires.

On October 22, 2020, Joe Biden said, “My son has not made money, in terms of thing about, what are you talking about? China. The only guy who made money in China is [President Trump].”

The leftist media built up the government shutdown like it was the end of times.  CNN even had a breathless special planned last night hoping to blame the repubs.  Like the fearmongering before a snowstorm.  They were so disappointed when it didn't happen.

When you next visit the real world, you may want to get a factual update rather than this idiotic extreme right propaganda.

The only reason the shutdown didn't happen was that McCarthy desperately needed the help of the Democrats to neutralize Matt Gaetz and his bunch of morons.
If the Democrats wanted the shutdown to happen they wouldn't have helped McCarthy.

Corrupt politicians and dishonest leftists just kicked the can down the road.  The leftists were desperately hoping to spin this for political purposes.  Like they did with COVID.   The shutdown of the government is not the end of times.  All the critical functions remain open.  Many government agencies even continue to operate as usual because they have funds to remain open.  The net impact is almost zero in the short term.  The problem here is a persistent failure to address out of control spending.  The Dems just kick the can down the road every time this issue comes around and then blame the Republicans for saying enough is enough.  The Republicans don't have enough votes to implement the cuts that are necessary.

There wasn't any spin necessary. The utter imcompetence of McCarthy and the GOP to get anything done except create chaos speaks for itself.

The shutdown of the government is not the end of times.

True.. it's just massive numbers of people are left without wages and/or social benefits..... So, who cares, right?

The net impact is almost zero in the short term.

Yeah right. You truly live in another universum than the rest of us. If you don't get your paycheck at the end of the month, because of a shutdown, the impact is pretty real "in the short term", don't you think?

The problem here is a persistent failure to address out of control spending.

After Trump's massive $2 Billion tax cut for the most wealthy, you mean? Nobody cared about the deficit back then....

The Republicans don't have enough votes to implement the cuts that are necessary.

And that's bad thing? The Republicans have a completely idiotic definition of what necessary cuts are.

Old Joe and his clown show have completely blown the COVID booster vaccine roll out.  A disaster like everything else under his administration.  No one is getting it because they failed to promote it and even those who want it can't get it.  Nursing homes with high-risk elderly individuals can't get it dur to a shortage.  Trump was treated like a criminal by the Dems and leftist media despite a record roll out of the vaccine, but Old Joe gets a pass.  COVID is apparently no longer an issue for them.

The stock market is crashing, gas prices are surging, crime is rampant, millions have flooded across the open border, there is a shortage of COVID boosters as cases surge, Hunter is in court on felony gun charges, and the war in Ukraine goes on and on in stalemate with the US funding it.  What a week for Old Joe.

Time to move to North Korea, right?
