President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Oh, more frauds in Georgia: Kandy Kisses (Taylor), the whack-a-doodle with the "Jesus/Guns/Babies" motorhome, is threatening legal action because of "obvious election fraud."

She got 41,000 votes -- which meant my 50,000 estimate was 20 percent too high -- or Three Percent (that seems to ring a bell), but claims she can prove "hundreds of thousands of her volunteers weren't counted."

Apparently, math was not her strong suit as a former teacher. (And my guess is her check for the motorhome rental will bounce as well.) I'm surprised the Orange Cheeto hasn't weighed in on her predicament.

 

Damn

Trump Policies Sent U.S. Tumbling in a Climate Ranking

 

The POTUS is an afterthought. Of relative disinterest.

Senator? Senator? This committee owes an apology! This committee owes an apology -- apology, Senator!

 

Durham was an actual witch hunt with nothing to it and everyone knew that from the jump. Talk about malicious prosecution.

 

We also asked five unvaccinated truckers in an Ohio diner whether Susan Sontag’s novels are still self-indulgent overrated crap.

 

It’s even worse than that.

Donald Trump and William Barr have spent years alleging that the Russia investigation was a criminal plot by the FBI. The Department of Justice’s inspector general found the Russia investigation was adequately predicated, but Barr disagreed. So he selected a prosecutor, John Durham, who would supposedly uncover this scheme and begin frog-marching its perpetrators to justice.

By 2020, Barr was conceding that Durham might not reach all the way up to Barack Obama but would bring down his accomplices. “As to President Obama and Vice-President Biden,” he said that spring, “whatever their level of involvement, based on the information I have today, I don’t expect Mr. Durham’s work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man. Our concern over potential criminality is focused on others.” By the fall, Barr was reportedly “communicating that Durham is taking his investigation extremely seriously and is focused on winning prosecutions.”

However focused he may be, Durham is not winning prosecutions. His investigation has produced one extremely small fish – a guilty plea by FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith* for a likely immaterial error. And now he is losing prosecutions. Durham abused his authority by trying to prosecute Michael Sussmann, a lawyer working for Hillary Clinton, whom Durham tried to convict on a single perjury charge. And the case turns out to have been so pathetically threadbare that it resulted in a rapid acquittal.​
