A report card on the Biden administration

DCP BS! So what if a few RINOs condemn other republicants. It the same as DCP disciples condemning republicants.

 

Trump's lawyers misspelled United States!

In a legal brief on Tuesday, they addressed their arguments to the “Unites States Senate.”

Boy, that says it all right there.

 

What does it say - other than typo Nazi ?

 

The Hill reports, "Lawyers representing former President Trump on Tuesday detailed the defense they’ll lay out at next week’s impeachment trial, arguing that it is unconstitutional to impeach a former president and that Trump’s speech did not directly lead to the deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.

"The defense brief argues that Trump’s speech before a group of supporters, some of whom later sacked the Capitol, was protected under the First Amendment. And it accuses Democrats of depriving Trump of due process by rushing impeachment through the House."

One has to seriously ask, is that a joke.

“The constitutional provision requires that a person actually hold office to be impeached,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

That is a lie. It does not say that anywhere in the Constitution. The President is responsible for what he does from his first day in office to his last day in office. The President doesn't get a mulligan for what he does in January.

“It is denied he threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch Government," the brief said.

Apparently, Trump's lawyers are unaware of what Trump said on Jan. 6.

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

“When you catch somebody in a fraud, you are allowed to go by very different rules."

“We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

"Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. We are going to try — give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re try — going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”
**************************************************************************************************************************President Donald J. Trump

After hours went by watching the mob he had incited attack our capitol Trump declared on video, "This was a fraudulent election but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. We love you. You're very special. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil but go home and go home in peace."

Senate Republicans will acquit Trump.

The American people will not.

 

It means Trump's lawyers are extremely careless. Such an error in the spelling of our country causes questions about their abilities and their intelligence.

They are probably the only lawyers Trump could find who would take the case. You do know that his five lawyers quit this past weekend.

 

50 Lashes should be meted out for this atrocity - agreed .. this was an offense against our nation - a threat to national security - akin to sedition.

Yeah .. that's it

 

There is no reason to go overboard.

 

You got point of my post .. well done - Tip Top !

 

Politico reports, "President Joe Biden said he's open to refining key elements of his nearly $2 trillion coronavirus package during a call with House Democrats on Wednesday, but stressed the urgency of delivering the massive relief bill quickly to the pandemic-stricken nation.

"Biden told the House Democratic Caucus that he was willing to compromise on who will be eligible for the next round stimulus checks — but remained firm on the size of the $1,400 check, according to multiple sources on the call."

Biden should take a close look at that. Millions of Americans like me should not receive stimulus checks. It is a waste of taxpayer money.

My wife and I received the two stimulus checks. Although we are retired, we are still saving money, not withdrawing it from savings or investments. Consequently, both checks went straight into our investments.

That's not right. The money should go only to those who desperately need it.

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga has promoted QAnon, the debunked conspiracy theory that imagines former President Trump is leading a fight against a government controlled by a global deep state cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles. On social media, YouTube videos and elsewhere, she has said Muslims don’t belong in government, suggested the 2018 Parkland, Fla., school shooting and others were staged, and repeatedly endorsed executing Democratic leaders.

NBC News reports, " House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Wednesday that the House would vote Thursday on whether to strip embattled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., of her committee assignments after Republican leader Kevin McCarthy failed to take action against her.

On Jan. 6, 138 House Republicans supported Trump's assertion that the election was stolen from him. They played a major role in the events that occurred on that day, which led to Trump's impeachment.

It is anticipated that the vast majority of House Republicans will follow McCarthy's lead tomorrow and vote to do nothing with respect to Greene.

Trump's impeachment trial begins next week. It is a virtual certainty that the vast majority of Senate Republicans will completely ignore the evidence of what Trump did and said leading up to the insurrection on the sixth and vote to acquit Trump. Five people were killed that day, including a police officer and the capitol was seriously vandalized.

What does all this say about the direction of the Republican Party?

 

“No matter what [McCarthy] does it would never be enough for the hate America Democrats,” Greene wrote on Twitter. “They are only set out to destroy Republicans, your jobs, our economy, your children’s education and lives, steal our freedoms, and erase God’s creation.”

Boy, this is one sick lady.

 

This is what happens when one supports a liar.

CNN reports, "A voting technology company swept up in baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election filed a monster $2.7 billion lawsuit on Thursday against Fox News, some of the network's star hosts, and pro-Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, alleging the parties worked in concert to wage a "disinformation campaign" that has jeopardized its very survival."

"We have no choice," Antonio Mugica, the chief executive and founder of Smartmatic, told CNN Business in an interview about the company's decision to file the lawsuit. "The disinformation campaign that was launched against us is an obliterating one. For us, this is existential, and we have to take action."

"The lawsuit, filed in New York state court, accused Fox, Giuliani, Powell and hosts Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Jeanine Pirro of intentionally lying about Smartmatic in an effort to mislead the public into the false belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from former President Donald Trump."

"The defense brief argues that Trump’s speech before a group of supporters, some of whom later sacked the Capitol, was protected under the First Amendment. "It is denied he threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch Government," the brief said."

Shouldn't Trump's lawyers face recriminations for lying? Obviously, what they are saying is false.

The silence from Trump's supporters concerning the issues continues. They don't know a damn thing, and they don't want to know.

 

Rep. Liz Cheney survived to fight another battle but on a raucous and defining day, the appeasement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene by House Republicans sent their party lurching further down the road to extremism.

The moral crisis in the GOP after Donald Trump's exit from Washington was epitomized by a showdown that saw Cheney, a lifelong ideological conservative, forced to fight off a challenge to her leadership post after she voted to impeach a President who sparked a violent coup attempt.

At the same time, Greene, a belligerent conspiracy theorist who thinks the GOP's problem is that it lost the presidential election too gracefully, got a pass from colleagues despite promoting a sick stew of QAnon lies and fantasies.

The struggle for the future direction of the party exploded in a manic meeting of the House Republican Conference that ended when Cheney prevailed comfortably in a secret ballot -- after she refused to apologize to angry acolytes of the ex-President after choosing the Constitution over Trump.

The fact that Cheney has faced more criticism from her colleagues than Greene in recent days reflects how the GOP's traditional values are under siege and the vast power that extremists and conspiracy theories welcomed into the party by Trump are accumulating.

For weeks, and especially following the insurrection incited by Trump on January 6, the Republican Party has been locked in a prolonged duel between those swearing loyalty to their leader in exile, and others who want to move on from his anti-democratic tenure.

Putin could not be happier. When helping Trump get elected, he knows he made a wise choice.

 

"President Joe Biden announced "America is back" on Thursday and declared that "diplomacy is back at the center" of US foreign policy as he said the US will end all support for Saudi Arabia's offensive operations in Yemen, one of several changes he announced in his first major foreign-policy speech since taking office," CNN.

Biden froze troop redeployments from Germany.

He increased the number of refugees admitted into the United States after years of historical lows under the Trump administration.

Biden put particular emphasis on the need to rebuild America's moral standing after four years of a President who rebuffed traditional alliances and increasingly scorned democratic norms.

Biden hailed Wednesday's agreement to extend the New START Treaty with Russia, to preserve the only remaining nuclear arms agreement between them. At the same time he took a hard line with Putin on a number of issues.

On China he said the US will confront Beijing's "economic abuses, counter its aggressive, coercive action to push back on China's attack on human rights, intellectual property, and global governance."

Biden made it clear to everyone there is a new sheriff in town.

 

The A.P. reports, "House Democrats on Thursday asked Donald Trump to testify under oath for his Senate impeachment trial, challenging him to respond to their charge that he incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol."

Trump adviser Jason Miller dismissed the trial as “an unconstitutional proceeding.”

There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that forbids this impeachment and trial. Presidents are responsible for what they do from their first day in office to their last day in office. They don't get a mulligan for their last January in office.

Republicans didn't know that?

Trump’s lawyers denounced the request as a “public relations stunt.”

Asking the accused to appear before a jury to defend himself is a “public relations stunt?”

Have Republicans lost their minds?

Little wonder why Trump's supporters are staying silent. This is idiocy.

 

The Times reports, "The House on Thursday took the extraordinary step of ousting a lawmaker from two congressional committees, exiling Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia."

199 Republicans voted their opposition to stripping Greene of her committee assignments.

This was done because the Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was afraid to make that decision.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga has promoted QAnon, the debunked conspiracy theory that imagines former President Trump is leading a fight against a government controlled by a global deep state cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles. On social media, YouTube videos and elsewhere, she has said Muslims don’t belong in government, suggested the 2018 Parkland, Fla., school shooting and others were staged, and repeatedly endorsed executing Democratic leaders."

Her apology speech today was far too late, self-serving, attempted to blame the media, and was disingenuous. Put a different way, she made a complete fool of herself and her lack of intellectual abilities were obvious.

On January 6, 138 House Republican supported Trump's insurrection and the claim that the election was stolen from him.

Today 199 House Republicans voted their support for a person who had threatened the lives of House members.

It seems readily apparent the Republican Party has a problem ... a very serious problem.

 

A+!

Good ole' Joe, getting the job done!!

 

Biden has no say in any of this.

 

Of course he does, he is the single most influential person in his party.

 

God Bless you.

.I recommend you start with basics, like the USA has 3 branches of government.

Peace

 

I understand the three branches. Do you honestly belief the POTUS has no influence over his party?

 

Here ya go.
https://www.usa.gov/branches-of-government
Peace

 

Or you could stop avoiding the question...

Do you think Biden has no influence in his party? Do you think he could not reach out to congress/senate leaders in his party and persuade them?

 

do you not realize the Senate is compelled by law to go forward with the trial?

WTF? Seriously, WTF?

 

Well yes, now they kind of have to keep going with it.

But at the time of this OP, no, they could of put it off instead of rushing it through.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt here. This thread was started 1-20, before they even set a date for the trial. At that time there was a lot of talk about an impeachment trial interfering with Biden's first 100 days.
