  1. Actually, it won't be known until the next Presidential elections are held. But I imagine there will be plenty of reinforcements on hand and a President who is willing to use them.
  2. Where have you been the last 4 years? A special counsel gets appointed. One such person was John Durham who was appointed by William Barr. They were both skeptical of the Inspector General's report saying there was no corruption involved on the part of the Justice Dept in the investigation of Trump. So Durham spent about 3 years trying to dig up incriminating stuff on agents of the FBI and other employees of the Justice Dept. He came up virtually empty. He failed in 2 trials and succeeded in a third using the evidence provided by the Inspector General to convict a low level employee on a minor charge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Durham
  3. I believe the same predictions were being made when William Barr became attorney general. And similar predictions were being made for the Durham investigation read the Justice department. Of course those predictions at least were based on the correct understanding that it's a justice department that pursues criminal investigations, not the legislative branch of government. You might try to get at least barely acquainted with the Constitution.
  4. Actually, the Marxist-Leninists in the MSM have been hiding from us the fact that Joe Biden was actually president in 2020
  5. As recently as 1856? Yes, this event was just a nothingburger.
  6. What's going to be even more ridiculous is when he realizes his error and then claims the responsibility for it wasn't Trump's. But most likely he'll just evaporate. He also got it wrong about oil. The decline of both occurred virtually simultaneously whereas he claimed as the dollar fell, the price of oil should rise.
  7. Anyway, he blamed the President for the GDP decline of 3.4% in 2020. He thought that was Biden. Trump was president in 2020.
  8. I thought it was lettuce. Which wilts more quickly.
  9. Seriously? Weren't you ever taught in school about dangling participles?
  10. So has the price of oil risen as the dollar has recently fallen? The dollar began its precipitous decline on Nov 4. Oddly enough, so did the price of oil. Here are crude oil prices
  11. "Now you can say Biden was not responsible for Covid. BUT HIS RESPONSE TO IT IS WHAT CRATERED THE ECONOMY. Real GDP FELL 3.4% in 2020. " Should I agree with you that the guy who was president in 2020 is responsible for that 3.4% drop? Because if did, that person would be Donald Trump.
  12. What's going on is essentially the same activity that Trump supporters engage in about the 2020 election. They don't say that the election was stolen. They just say that they have questions about it.
  13. Given how reduced the Speaker's powers are, I'd agree that he is a kind of leader. A cheerleader.
  14. Thank you for your reasoned support of a new debilitated McCarthy. Here are a couple ways Congress is going to help McCarthy to Make America Great Again Just one member is all it takes to call for a snap election on whether to vacate the office of the Speaker. So if McCarthy offends just 5 of these loons, out he goes. Any member can bring up an unlimited number of amendments to spending bills. Which means the Speaker has no power to actually get legislation approved as long as any member keeps on coming up with amendments. I can think of about 20 members of the House up for doing just that.
  15. Thanks. I will have a spare.
  16. And as part of the deal, all it takes is one member of Congress to vote on vacating the Speaker's seat. I'm sure that won't lead to any disruptions.
  17. When someone breaks a lease or, for that matter, any change in the status quo, it's obviously incumbent upon them (or their supporters) to provide evidence to justify it. It doesn't help in any case as far as justification goes, that this is far from the only lease he's broken. It certainly doesn't argue that Musk is a man of his word in that he attempted to squirm out of his agreement with Twitter and that he violated its terms of conduct as well.
  18. Actually, it's the people who support his antisocial behavior, like you, for example, who should be ashamed of themselves.
  19. So, at best, the landlord will have loaned Elon musk the money without their consent. It's still a lowlife move.
  20. If the state wants to make sure he serves hard time, he should be tried as a black adult.
  21. It's not free. The landlord is paying for it. Another lowlife move from Musk.
  22. I'll look into it. Thanks.
  23. Those were probably just festive fireworks coming from the Russians.
  24. Actually, the notion that voters become more conservative as they grow older has always been greatly exaggerated. "Folk wisdom has long held that people become more politically conservative as they grow older, although several empirical studies suggest political attitudes are stable across time... Consistent with previous research but contrary to folk wisdom, our results indicate that political attitudes are remarkably stable over the long term. In contrast to previous research, however, we also find support for folk wisdom: on those occasions when political attitudes do shift across the life span, liberals are more likely to become conservatives than conservatives are to become liberals, suggesting that folk wisdom has some empirical basis even as it overstates the degree of change. https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/706889
  25. So when oil prices go up it's Biden's fault and when they go down it's his fault.
