President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Apparently Merrick Garland really is so bad that even giving him a hearing gives him more credibility than he deserves. /s

Graham shoots down request for Merrick Garland confirmation hearing Feb. 8

 

Is Lindsey afraid of something?

Garland is gonna be one pissed off guy when he’s finally confirmed.

 

I don't know why credibility matters so much to Republicans.

 

The GOP cannot afford to let Democrats into the DOJ files. It could send many people, Graham included, to federal prisons.

 

I’m sure Barr and his sympathizers did their best to keep everything out of the files. Let’s hope some Vindman-like true patriots took some good notes.

 

This is what I don't get. If Southerners want racist fascist Republicans to represent them, OK. But why instead of a McConnell, who at least has a functioning brain, do they go for the likes of this nitwit, who only makes everyone who doesn't live in Alabama damn glad they're smart enough not to do so?

 

Some interesting info...they also mention that the Steve
Correl show was inspired by it but I heard the opposite.
The service was not established to send armed personnel into orbit, or to colonize the solar system. Instead, Space Force personnel, who were recently named "guardians," operate the nation's GPS and missile warning satellites with their boots firmly on the Earth.

Trump got the Space Force across the finish line, but rarely acknowledged that a bipartisan group of lawmakers had proposed a similar reorganization of military space missions into a Space Corps in 2017. Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), one of the early supporters of the Space Corps idea, said last week at a POLITICO Live event that he hopes the new branch can escape the politics that surround it.

"I hope my fellow Democrats will not be too discouraged by the taint that former President Trump put on the Space Force when he tried to hijack it for his own political purposes because the Space Force was really originated on an entirely bipartisan basis way before Trump was elected president, way before he noticed the shiny object that caught his attention," Cooper said.

The Secure World Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on sustainable space use, also listed improving the Space Force's public relations campaign and clarifying its mission to the American public as a top job for the Biden administration in a December report.

 

Cool. When are the Republicans going to apologize for Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany?

 

I think there might be something wrong with her. Just a shot-in-the-dark guess here ...

 

Laura Ingraham believes her crusade for hydroxychloroquine is the cure for the pandemic. Has all sorts of money-under-the-table flavors surrounding this behavior ...

Because politicizing an issue based on science is all she knows how to do. And she doesn't know how to do much else outside of hatemongering and fear mongering.
