Yes. Jan 3, 2008.

Kansas beat Virginia Tech 24-21 at the Orange Bowl. and German politician and economist Werner Dollinger died.

I'm at a loss, however, to figure out what this date has to do with Joe Biden in 2024.

Agreed, 100%. It is utterly reprehensible that this has always been swept under the rug until now.

It took someone as belligerent and aesthetically offensive as Trump to finally raise this issue to the fore of public consciousness. We owe him a debt of gratitude for making that sacrifice.

And all of this is damning evidence of how We The People have become so much more concerned about the reputation of our own tribal figureheads than about the sanctity and long-term viability of our nation as a whole.
Actually I was saying you missed quite a few recent actions, which is telling. You went all the way back to Nixon, while ignoring what's arguably much worse, and much more recent.

What law is broken by appointing gender-confused persons to cabinet positions?

I agree that it's, well... gross.

But we're talking about criminal conduct within the executive branch. Giving cushy jobs to trannies is not a criminal offense.

We can argue that perhaps it should be, but at present, it is not.

Nope. Creating the Steele dossier as a precept to spy on a sitting president. That's it. That's it right there, and it includes Obama, Biden, and Brennan, Comey and all the rest. The purpose is the overthrow of a democratically elected President (treason), so if the fix is actually involves a brick wall and some military sharpshooters. And one dud bullet.

Seems like that should be number one. Yeah, number one.

Could you please translate that for me? We're speaking of crimes committed by sitting presidents, and I genuinely (not being snarky) cannot figure out what message you are trying to convey there.

First of all, this is the problem. So few people know this actually took place. That you work for a news agency and don't know is even more incredible. Incredibly damning.

Very simply, you had the DNC working with the CIA, FBI and the DOJ in order to create a situation where DJT can be wiretapped and then accused of crimes. Any crimes. Take the out the 3 letters and you have Biden (confirmed to have been in the meetings), Obama, HJC (she and DNC funded the dossier), James Comey, Clapper, Peter Strzok, Brennan and others setting up an operation that would give them "cause" to wiretap DJT.

They made up a BS Steel dossier which internal documents have proven to show that no one believed. But that's the the point. The point is that the dossier allowed them to take this information to a FISA judge, who allowed the bogus wire taps. A wiretap like this---100x worse than the Nixon tapes or the Watergate break-in. Not sure if you remember, but Devin Nunez found out about this and set up a personal meeting with DJT in a place that wasn't tapped or bugged in order to tell him, which is when DJT moved his ENTIRE pre-Presidential working group to Trump Towers.



The FISA form has been proven to be bogus. Christopher Steele played "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" during testimony, and said that he didn't believe any of his own dossier. It was all a front. It allowed the MSM to say that DJT colluded with the Russians for four years--never apologizing, but keeping their Pulitzers for crap reporting--and allowed them to impeach Trump, twice.

On the good side, we got to see how completely useless the MSM is, and who the Deep State actors are on the Republican side. For example, John McCain had one of his aids fly personally to the UK in order to pick up the Steele Dossier. Can't have a sitting president who isn't already part of the DC Swamp...

Our 3 letter agencies are hopelessly politicized.

It's okay cause the FBI agents lying to the FISA courts got a nice slap on the wrist.

Liberals are insane, and hate America. That's pure objective fact.

Reality is playing havoc with the narrative. BTW, the "Roman tidal baths" picture was posted and then REMOVED from my Facebook feed, as their "fact-checkers" apparently say these baths were made in the Victorian era. Or something.

I haven't been following the Biden drama too closely over the past few days, but a thought occurred to me last night as I pondered my third rum & coke of the evening, and I'm wondering if anyone has heard this posited yet by any of the DNC movers & shakers...

The best strategy for the dems which I can see at this point, would be to drop Kamala from the ticket, and replace her with Barack Obama.

I'm 100% serious. Have Biden run for re-election with Obama as his VP.

Biden is sworn in for his second term on Jan 20. Then, on Jan 21, Biden resigns from office. Obama succeeds him, and nominates Kamala Harris as his new VP.


This could actually work.

Would he be qualified since he has already been president for two terms? Maybe big mike as vp is a viable option. There is the loyalty to their elected members issue as well which would give harris first right of refusal. There are several other aspects to consider. One would be now that biden is older and in decline the possibility of harris taking over is much more of a concern then it was in 2020. She will be the scape goat for the dems. They will blame her for their failure. After the RNC will have a better understanding about this election. As far as I'm concerned it would be better for biden/harris to have the nomination. This would certainly improve Trumps chances of winning which is who I believe would be the best option.
