George Will calls on Tim Scott to drop out of White House race, back Haley

Wonder why George Will isn't also suggesting Christie drop out.  Doesn't really matter though, as George will be voting for Biden.

Funny how the title of an article can be 180 degrees from the actual content of said article.

There is no national popular presidential election, and Clinton knows this.   He just doesn't want the vote of every state to count.  Like most all dems, he practices what he claims to oppose.  

For the record, he and I had a face-to-face conversation (not about this) a few weeks ago...about tomatoes. LOL.  I just happened to run into him at lunch in Santa Fe at "The Shed"

Is this the BB version in Israel?  The Biden Admin. Was all but lobbying for Iran yesterday, and their recent actions in providing funds for hostages, not enforcing the Iranian oil embargo, etc. are financing this terror.  But what else is new from the petulant WH.

 

Trump’s comments stood in sharp contrast to the full-throated support given to Israel by serving US President Joe Biden and his officials, who have expressed steadfast backing of the country as it reels from the brutal massacres committed by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza border communities overtax the weekend.

Republican says GOP bickering over next speaker makes 'us look like a bunch of idiots'

 

There are people in there that are honorably trying to get to the right place, and then there are people in there, as you know, that like to go on the TV and are not necessarily negotiating for anything other than TV time.”

And yet the Democrats voted en-bloc to remove Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair solely to disrupt the GOP control of the House of Representatives. Having just proven to be someone willing to work in a bipartisan manner, they voted to remove him on purely partisan grounds.

 

Did they represent their constituents in doing so? Not in the slightest. Are they receiving any criticism from the media? Are you kidding me? 🤣

 

In voting to remove McCarthy, the Democrat bloc has made it patently clear they have no intention in working in a bipartisan manner and have no interest in allowing Congress to legislate without them being in absolute control.

 

So, in a fit of spite, they are prepared to let the GOP eventually rally around a Speaker who is less likely to compromise than their predecessor. They, as a whole, are unfit for office.

Your analysis is 100% spot on.

Who cares.  As long as Congress is not doing anything, it is progress.

Makes sense.

 

WAAH tantrum update: Now conservatives are ruining "progressive," too!

 

Conservatives are once again successfully demonizing and devaluing a term embraced by liberals, and this time they are doing it with the help of Democrats.

 

Even in purportedly liberal bastions like San Francisco and Oakland, the word “progressive” is being twisted to denote radical ideas and inept leadership instead of hope and revolutionary change.

This was absolutely a great piece and left me  .  A bunch of "progressives" afflicted with major TDS apparently needed a safe space and the New Republic provided it.  I wonder if they gave each other awards.

 

What I Learned at the 'Stop Trump Summit'

 

 

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.). (The guy who led the second impeachment of former president Donald Trump.) George Conway. (Anti-Trump tweeter and ex-husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway.) Miles Taylor. (Remember that low-level Trump aide and future cable news star who published the "anonymous" op-ed in the New York Times that everyone assumed was written by some senior cabinet official? That guy.) Tony Schwartz. (Trump's ghostwriter for The Art of the Deal.)

Don Lemon. (The hack journalist fired from CNN for being a misogynistic #######.) Al Franken. (Effectively fired from the U.S. Senate for similar reasons.) Robert De Niro. (Just trying to pay the bills.) Michael Cohen. (The unhinged former Trump fixer and former inmate who pursued a new career as an anti-Trump celebrity around the same time he became the target of a federal criminal investigation.) Michael Avenatti couldn't make it because he's still in prison.
