I live in one of those Biden voting districts, congressional district number four on Long Island. Anthony De Esposito is my Congressman and I am a frequent caller to his office in both Garden City, New York, and in Washington DC. Yesterday I contacted the Washington office to let them know that most of us in congressional district number four want nothing to do with the bullshit impeachment hearing. We rejected Donald Trump soundly and now that De Esposito has bent the knee for Trump he will lose, and I love this for him, and all the GOP.. I was told by the staffer that I did not understand how things are run in Washington. And I told him that it’s not about what’s happening in Washington, but what his constituency wants. Should be a fascinating and enjoyable 2024.
They did it to Hillary and now they think it will work for Biden. I don’t believe it will. I think most of the American voting public will not fall for it again.
All they do is waste time and money on their stupid investigations full of nonsense. But, they will drag it out for as long as they can because 2024 is an election year and trial year for Trump.
It’s so obvious to anyone with a brain and not in their cult.
I’m so sick of this bullshit. The Republican House has yet to pass any real legislation. Vote them out!
Meanwhile, over on X they are calling out Dems for being everything they are not ( and everything they are) and people believe it because they are too dumb to actually know what any of those terms mean. I know I need to cancel my X acct, but for some reason I still need to know what the clowns are saying.
Some lady said there will be a Civil War because Biden is not negotiating a cease fire with Putin, so that will cause a Civil War. She has no idea what a Civil War is.
Along with the perception of wealth (squandered) he inherited, the 1% will manage to rehab his image whilst he sits in a federal pen (shorter time than the electorate will expect) and groom the next deluded soul to finish the job started. Their crusade doesn't end because of electoral banishment in 2024...
Arnie, you are correct. The super wealthy don't serve jail time like the rest of society. They have country club prisons, chef-prepared meals, light sentences and, often, a slap on the hand. I'm convinced there is no justice in this country, and everything is predicated by how much money you have.
If the Republicans would return the party to conservative principles and divorce themselves from the orange con artist and his sleazy cronies, we could have some normalcy in Congress. However, there are too many idiots who support the chaos the GOP has caused. Another distraction tactic because they are incapable of governing.
Well, there will, but not the kind that was founded in Ripon, Illinois, in 1856.
It will be the “official party” of the United States of America, but merely the rubber stamp of the “Glorious Leader,” meeting twice a year in Washington.
There they will sing the National Anthem, the Bloated Yam’s favorite song — the nation’s second anthem — unanimously pass all of his decrees, pick up their checks, and return home.
They will be America’s highest-paid choral society.
That, by the way, is a description of the Reichstag — complete with wisecrack — from 1933 to 1945.
The issue here is the GOP ‘bubble’ meets reality. Trump wants this, so they block only do it. Their hypocrisy is on full display: Jordan, McCarthy and others in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas and now after Hunter. This is about false equivalence between Biden and Trump- everybody does it. Lastly actions of cult members for Trump: don’t try to have this make sense in the real world.
The entire world is pissed off about everything now thanks to what the GOP has done in the last 8 years and that's not even counting when it all started with Reaganomics.
No one and no country can move on to improve world population attitudes at this point because things have gone just too far.
If you would accept many days I am so angry about what's happening, that I cannot bring myself to watch more than a few minutes of news in the evening on MSNBC. I used to be a voracious news aficionado. I actually thought there was something I could personally do to change everyone's mind. Not So much anymore but I have to keep the faith the best way I can on the days I can. I dare say I am not the only one feeling this way but we all must keep on keeping on. It's not over until the orange clown shrivels up and dies.
Thank you for your excellent journalism that keeps us all in the loop of Hope!
I sense thou art in the beginning stages of apathy that we must keep at bay at all costs! Friends and family dread my attendance at gatherings because I insist on taking on the role of school Marm. I figure the annoying one will be talked about but my salient points will burst through however long it takes...
1. To distract Biden from his re-election efforts through harassment.
2. To make Biden look "more crooked" than the Bloated Yam.
3. To give the Bloated Yam an even better excuse, after his reinstatement, to line Biden and his top people (including his family) up against a stone wall, facing a firing squad of "auxiliary police."
There is something in AA about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result...repugnant gop has not had enough of the rake to the face even after Comer admitted to the political aspects of this particular witch-hunt. I can only assume the desire to please a amoral dimwit supersedes basic common sense within the modern maggot movement. The mere fact that you got Dumb and Dumber (Jordan and Comer) leading the charge tells you all you need to know about the impending greatest farce on earth. The hemorrhaging of Independents once this gets underway portends disaster but have no fear hair fuhrer will have their back even unto oblivion. In the grand scheme of things, self implosion may be the beginning of the long, arduous path back to sanity. Take heart though, they did not need our help to find the wilderness awaiting...
I don't understand the fear that the vulnerable Rs in NY and elsewhere have about being primaried. Not everyone that DJT has backed in primaries or general elections won. I guess that integrity is a foreign concept to this former mainstream political party. They are indeed a fascist party with the motto of party over country. They need to be voted out.
So many things about these republicons we don’t, and never will understand. They are true hypocrites, just like their orange dictator, and have been emboldened to allow their bigotry and hatred to surface. The biggest problem is the lack of knowledge of so many Americans, who have little or no understanding about history or civics.
Whether a blessing or a curse, I was part of the 70's highschooler that actually were taught Americanism vs Communism & Home Economics and prepared you to vote and do your own taxes. I blame the Sociologists telling parents to befriend their children rather than disciplining them. As a Po' Black Chile, it was an imperative to learn and retain what you're taught. Curiosity about the world I was thrust into filled in the rest...
DT’s operation chaos ! He’s done it all his life, “look at this shiny mysterious orb in my front hand, 🖐️ pay no attention to what the hand behind my back is doing”. And he respects no law, he’s a “special” person in his mind, as malignant narcissist sociopath, laws don’t apply to such a special brilliant, genius person with mega brain, he knows everything off the cuff. No need to read, he just knows. So many norms have been busted over the last 8 years. Was just thinking on Hunter, just a citizen, not a member of the White House, getting indicted, subpoenaed, over basically peanuts $$$, yet Jared was in WH, and he scammed out with $2 Bigly B. from Saudi A., while back in 2017 or 2018, he was deemed unable to get security clearance from the FBI. Once again, DT ignored a prior norm that would’ve halted Jared, and nothing came of it. Another norm busted by scofflaw and there are few actual laws in place to force folk to comply to “norms”. As in Gym Jordan and other Rs ignoring their years old subpoenas while obtusely whining about Hunter and his subpoena. How thick as plank does one have to be to be able to do that with a straight face ??!! There are very few boundaries in grand narcissist DT’s world, just stomp all over everything including the Constitution in order to grab and take what he wants. Putin is extremely pleased with all Rs here, “schwing!!” and their blocking of aide, for one. Makes thought of another term damn scary. Slowing of anything in the courts makes me edgy. I just keep focus on “there are more of us than them” and “them” keep doubling and tripling down honking off “us”. If it boils down to actual election and DT on ballet, seems hopeful the majority “us” will get the heck out and override “them”. That is my prayer and hope. What an ugly 2024 upcoming !! Hold on to your seats. Mike, I have my year end angel or turkey award all picked out !! Heh. That will be a very fun show, thank you.
I heard something on progress radio yesterday that was a good point...maybe they are hoping to find something through this inquiry similar to “Hillary’s emails” that isn’t grounds for impeachment or criminality but would take Biden down in the court of public opinion. Either way, what an egregious abuse of their power, of tax payer money and an assault on our democracy. This is what they want anyway...to chip away at democracy little by little until it’s unrecognizable and the public is afraid of the chaos.
I may be a bit off-topic here, but one thing I really do want to comment on is that the Republicans are attacking Taylor, Swift! Bravo to this young lady because she is getting young voters to get out there and register. She is a force that is using her platform for the good of the country 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸 💪🏼
As a part-time side gig, I drive Uber in Washington DC and do get some political people in my car and I do hear some conversations and believe me I have no doubt in my mind that we will prevail!
In DC anytime Mike?? …. I’ll be your personal driver! 😉

Crazy, dumb people.
Arnie, if Trump gets away with instigating an insurrection, what will his next corrupt deed be? How can he top a free pass on insurrection?
Along with the perception of wealth (squandered) he inherited, the 1% will manage to rehab his image whilst he sits in a federal pen (shorter time than the electorate will expect) and groom the next deluded soul to finish the job started.

Trump is a mob boss. There is no doubt about that. We must do everything possible to make sure he loses next year.
If the Republicans would return the party to conservative principles and divorce themselves from the orange con artist and his sleazy cronies, we could have some normalcy in Congress. However, there are too many idiots who support the chaos the GOP has caused. Another distraction tactic because they are incapable of governing.
I’m not sure there will be a Republican party soon
Hope not. They are really the Fascist party of goons.
Well, there will, but not the kind that was founded in Ripon, Illinois, in 1856.

Or is it Madame? Apologies forever, the Reisling is starting take effect...
It’s easier for the GOP to be the minority- they have no policies. As minority all they have to do is obstruct, complain and instigate.
The purpose of this is threefold:
1. To distract Biden from his re-election efforts through harassment.
2. To make Biden look "more crooked" than the Bloated Yam.
3. To give the Bloated Yam an even better excuse, after his reinstatement, to line Biden and his top people (including his family) up against a stone wall, facing a firing squad of "auxiliary police."
