President Joe Biden

[Lion Eyes]

Joe is struggling....

On the menu today: You might think that, at this point, Joe Biden must have hit bottom in his job approval rating, but a Monmouth University poll finds him down to 36 percent. What’s notable about the polling lately is how many Democrats can no longer convince themselves that Biden is doing a good job. A lot of this is driven by the runaway-inflation crisis, and there’s a real problem for Democrats, in that the $1.9 trillion in new spending enacted in March 2021 — a massive spending bill that Larry Summers explicitly warned would “set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation” — was passed on party-line votes. As they approach a red tsunami midterm, the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.

Donald isn't doing much better...

“President Biden may want to run again but the voters say ‘no’ to the idea of a second term, panning the job he is doing as president. Only 30 percent of Democrats would even vote for him in a Democratic presidential primary,” Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS–Harris Poll survey, said.

But a majority of respondents — 61 percent — also say former President Trump should not run for the White House in 2024. Thirty-nine percent of respondents said the former president should run again.

71 percent don’t want Biden to run for reelection: poll

Seven in 10 Americans say they do not want President Biden to run for a second term, according to a new poll that comes as Biden’s approval numbers remain low and his party braces for losses …

And I'm more interested in facts and due process than entertainment value. There is too much focus on the latter in the hearings which impacts its credibility.

I also don't want a tit for tat when the Rs are in charge of Congress in 6 months. Do you really want hours of Hunters sex tapes being broadcast in Congressional hearings?

If Hunter decides to run for office in 2024 that would make sense they would run hearings. Hard to imagine in the face of inflation that story having longer legs than the repeal of Row V Wade? haha Power is a hot potato. If Republican run on fixing America and poison the well so that Hunter's scalp is all they got to talk about... that could be trouble. (for them)

Anyway, when Republican leaders asked House members to withdraw from the committee it became entertainment. But still it's a committee with the power to call witnesses to testify publicly and under oath. CH put together the first clear account of how Trump took the news he'd lost the election... and it's not pretty. Regardless of what the letter of the law says, to me if feels like my duty as a patriotic (selfishly freedom loving) American that push to find out what really happened.

If it's Trump having a moment and the secret service detail didn't think it important enough to mention then this should be over pretty quick. I think a majority will want to let something like that slide. But if Trump's people were on the phone with thugs coordinating an ANTIFA style attack on the Capital... then it's probably going to take a longer to sort out.

How does he turn it around. Assuming for the good of the country... given his allies and the political landscape... what would you tell him to do?

There are hours of Hunter's sex tapes? Is that what's on Hjunter's laptop? No one posting here has been able to answer that question.

That's disingenuous about Hunter running and you know it. Hutchinson wasn't running for office and they still called her and she testified. Hunter is a much more material witness to Biden's potential conflicts of interest with China and Ukraine than Hutchinson is as 2nd and 3rd hand witness of Trump's tantrums. A 2nd hand report of Trump throwing his lunch is as relevant as video of Hunter's sex life. Interesting how your opinion morphed from the SS should be called to its really not that important.

Never said that I didn't want to know what happened. I've actually watched a lot of it. I just want it from reliable first hand accounts. I want facts not spectacle, but my background is in litigation support and not entertainment. The fact that its a kangaroo court is why there is not much interest from moderate thinking people to follow it while hard R's completely ignore it and lefties drink it up like nectar from heaven. It's partisan TV at it's worst.

Based on hearsay, yes. First hand report, no. "Wanting" and "doing" are two separate things. Wanting is not a crime but IMO opinion it disqualifies him from being President. The FBI already ruled that it wasnt a coordinated attack on the Capitol. He is certainly guilty of not stopping it.

It's pretty clear what the words you posted mean, whether you intended that meaning or not.

As for all this nonsense about "hearsay" -- this is not a criminal trial court - it's a Congressional Committee investigation. Whether any of this testimony ends up in a criminal court trial will depend on the rules of evidence as overseen by the trial judge.

Yep, you go ahead and tell me what I meant to make your arguments sound plausible. Just like Husker and Dad4.

Your so desperate I'm not surprised hearsay without rebuttal is OK with you.

Still crickets on that? Pretty damning innuendo for sure!

Without rebuttal? Are the hearings concluded already? I have been one of those who stated hereabouts that I welcome rebuttal testimony, whatever that might be, in the same conditions under which Ms Hutchinson testified -- in public, under oath.

I don't think he can.
He has a weak, way left cabinet that is not in line with most American's.
He needs to return to the middle and lead from that position and stop blaming others for his missteps and policy folly.

I'm expecting a replay of Hillary's testimony about Benghazi, where nothing was proven except for the power of Congress to make political hay out of nothing.

You have established many times that it is authentic, but you are a little weak in presenting whatever the authentic contents of the AUTHENTIlaptop might be.

Read the f'n article, it's good start....

About what pray tell would you have Hunter testify about? He isn’t in the administration that would elicit calls of nepotism . . . was he awarded a dozen or so trademarks in a foreign country just after his daddy was elected and had meetings at his private home with that countries leader? I guess I’m confused.

Yes let’s get Rudy, Mo, Don Jr, Ivanka, Eastman or Lindsey up there. Not the Donald though, he can’t tell you the time of day without lying.

But nothing like this?

"Hey Dad, I just spoke with the antifa leaders and they are planning an attack on the Capitol disguised as Trump supporters."

Now that would be newsworthy.

You confused? Of course you are....

Voicemail from Joe to Hunter proves they spoke about Chinese business

'I thought the article released online, it's going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you're clear,' Joe said in the voicemail to Hunter.

Thanks Mr. Magoo.....you still haven't read the article...and down the rabbit hole you go.

Yes but those were earnest efforts to get to the truth!
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought.”- the quiet part out loud.
