Was only a matter of time before Trump began throwing supporters under the bus

@MasterLee you are more of an idiot than I thought!

@samueltyler2 that makes you moron of the year.

@MasterLee good try.

@PatKirby But the Libertarians said that Trump was a socialist, so go figure.

@samueltyler2 Right. Garland looks so weak. Hopefully some indictments come before November.

@Pitchblue He may appear weak, he is aware of the place he will be held in history, he is in a bad situation!

@Pitchblue I doubt they'll ask him many questions in a hearing that they don't already know the answers to. He lies and I would imagine they'd call him out immediately. And that's a crime.

@Pikachu

Not nearly as worked up as you, Piksiekins... 😂 😂 😂

@MistyCee Bannon still faces prosecution for contempt of Congress. And he's not going to be allowed to testify in public unless he testifies behind closed doors first and they get him on tape. These hearings aren't a spectacle for him to boost his podcast.

@LeopoldBloom Let's hope. So far the Committee's made pretty good decisions.

@Baremine And just like this gent, liberals don’t seem to care in the least.

[quote]U.S. Economy Shrank in 2020 Despite Fourth-Quarter Growth
Gross domestic product rose 4.0% in holiday quarter, as economists expect rebound in 2021 once coronavirus pandemic is under control[/quote] https://www.wsj.com/articles/us-gdp-economic-growth-fourth-quarter-2020-11611802382 And if you look at the 2021 economy, it is been steady growth and not the chaotic up and down of 2020.

The "energy independence" argument has been debunked many times already here. We were still dependent on the higher grade crude oil coming from the Middle East and elsewhere; the pipeline Biden cancelled was only a shortcut for an existing pipeline and it was for exporting Canadian shale oil to other parts of the world; the oil companies still have more drilling permits than they have ever used.

When has the southern border ever been controlled since JFK ended the bracero program in the early 1960's?

Worldwide inflation was inevitable due to the convulsions in supply and demand created worldwide by the pandemic, and then exacerbated by the Ukrainian war.

Biden ain't perfect, but he wasn't handed a rose garden, and little of what was handed to him is totally in his control.

@dancingtongue Shovel your shit somewhere else. Every free thinking person knows what gas prices were before Biden’s executive orders on day one. Give it a break. And fuel and inflation were on the rise well before the Ukraine war.

You’re just wrong. End of story

@HoraceGreenley Keep telling yourself that.

@windinhishair you really aren’t missing out

@iamonfire696 Oh I know. I could probably predict what they have written without seeing it. They are very predictable.

@windinhishair you are correct lol

@Ynotisay @MistyCee This is what makes the whole thing smell of a set-up one way or another: Bannon was long gone from the Administration by the period of time leading up to 1/6 events, so Executive Privilege was never an issue. Bannon was using it as an excuse to hide behind, unless the courts ruled against him or Trump waived it. He was losing in court, so Trump waives it -- although it was never an option -- to "allow him" to fulfill the subpoena. Why? The only logical reason for Bannon is to justify his delay in upholding the subpoena and get the Contempt of Congress charges lifted. Why for Trump? Because he knows the questions will be about Bannon's role in organizing and promoting the crowds on 1/6 and it provides insurance should Bannon actually have some info on direct contact with Stone, Meadows, and others actually working for Trump. He's counting on Bannon taking the Fifth or committing perjury, but if not he can now claim "jeez, would I have ever waived Executive Privilege if I had know this was going on?" and throw them all under the bus. Even though anything Bannon was doing during the period under question was never under Executive Privilege to begin with.

@dancingtongue [quote]Why for Trump?

I agree, but I think you may be over thinking Trump here.

Not that what you say doesn't make sense, but I'm not sure Trump thinks that many steps ahead, because as you pointed out, he doesn't really need to.

I think he's hanging onto his "I can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue" angle here, rather really trying to craft a defense.

@dancingtongue You're right. It's all about Bannon trying to delay his trial for criminal contempt as long as possible. Must really suck for him that a judge shot that down today. But Trump getting involved? That says something. And you might be right.

@ididntknow the DEMOCRATS and media twist everything especially when it involves President Trump.

@CorvusBlackthorne in your mind only trump exists

@Azlotto I included comedian.lol

@Baremine Is your beagle hound seriously considering a run? 🤔 I agree, better than Biden

@carpediem it couldn't be any worse and the beagle is lovable but not real smart.
