RE: Sloes* second solo presser in a year
Now the WH has to clarify what the Bumbler said. I wonder how loud the hands on head bashing of all those people from his administration who were listening to him saying that made. LOL
"OH NO!, he did it again!"

Memo to Psaki: Joe Biden wouldn't know what a forceful response was or how to do it. Imagine the clusterfark of the Afghanistan withdrawl in reverse........
Besides, what is going on there is NATO trying their hardest to start a war. NATO is the muscle for the U.N. and has no allegiance to the USA. We just stupidly fund them.

RE: Sloes* second solo presser in a year
This is the most bizarre president and presidency we have ever had in my lifetime. Every single time he opened his mouth lies came out. And it's the new normal for democrats, open mouth, lie, rinse and repeat. And enough of their fanatical and moronic base eat it up that the lies somehow gain legitimacy in the public forum where perception and reality are distorted beyond recognition to rational and logical thinkers.

That's Trump.... While he made some great moves during his presidency, he always has to follow his good moves up with narcissistic BS. IMHO, a guy like DeSantis would be more effective as the next president than Trump.
He made his mark on the GOP for the better, but get out of the way and let those who won't let their ego shoot themselves in the foot take the mantle on and further the agenda.

All of this was made possible by our "Fourth Branch" of gov't. The goals of political parties are self serving in nature. It's up to the checks and balances built into the gov't thru the constitution AND the MEDIA to keep all of our politicians on the level.
Legacy media is a cancer because they support one political party and they abrogated their responsibilities to provide accurate news and as watchdogs against the gov't.

it’s easily his #1 fault … what’s so frustrating is it’s solvable … and if that solution becomes DeSantis, I’m 110% behind that, too…
I now like DJT playing the role of backing ‘22/’24 winnable candidates/elections …
having said that, I won’t hesitate to back him if runs again…

‘If I May Finish! If I May Finish!’: Kamala Snaps When Asked About Biden’s Car Crash Press Conference
Quote:Vice President Kamala Harris had quite a meltdown on Thursday morning during an interview one day after Joe Biden’s horrendous press conference at the White House.
Harris appeared on the TODAY show on the one-year anniversary of Joe Biden’s inauguration and struggled mightily to answer basic questions about what the administration has accomplished thus far.
Harris was confronted about Democrats voting overhaul bill failing in the Senate, Democrats failing to nuke the Senate filibuster, Biden’s horrific poll numbers, and the administration’s handling of the pandemic.
The VP became noticeably frustrated when host Savannah Guthrie confronted her about comments Biden made on Wednesday when he appeared to suggest the 2022 midterm elections may not be “free and fair” if Congress doesn’t ass the Democrats two election overhaul bills.
Below is a transcript of the exchange between Guthrie and Harris:
GUTHRIE: “Let’s talk about another comment the president made. He openly cast doubt on whether the 2022 midterm elections would be legitimate. He said it all depends, which is astonishing to hear a president question whether our elections will be legitimate. We’ve heard it before, but not from this president. Is he really concerned that we may not have fair and free elections?”
HARRIS: “The president has been consistent on this issue and the issue at hand, the issue — I was there last night in the chamber of the Senate and the issue is that there are two bills, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, that have been the solution that has been offered to address the fact that around our country states have put in place laws that are purposely making it more difficult for the American people to vote. Laws which will be felt by at least 55 million Americans regardless of their party affiliation, their race, their gender or their geographic location —” [crosstalk]
GUTHRIE: “Well, to the point, because those bills were debated — the bills were debated and they didn’t pass —”
HARRIS: “If I may finish — if I may finish —” [crosstalk]
GUTHRIE: “But the specific question, if you don’t mind, does he think now that these bills haven’t been passed that the ’22 midterms won’t be legitimate or fair or free?”
HARRIS: “Let’s not conflate issues. So, what we are looking at and the topic of so much debate last night was that we as America cannot afford to allow this blatant erosion of our democracy, and in particular, the right of all Americans who are eligible to vote to have access to the ballot unfettered. That is the topic of the conversation. And let’s not be distracted by the political gamesmanship when what is truly at stake are issues like whether Americans with disability have the opportunity to vote by mail, whether a single parent has the opportunity with three kids in the backseat to vote by dropping off their ballot in a dropbox instead of having to stand in line with those three kids for hours. These are the issues that are at stake.” [crosstalk]
GUTHRIE: “And the president laid a lot of —”
HARRIS: “And they are significant and pivotal issues in terms of our democracy. We had an extensive conversation about foreign policy, Savannah.”
GUTHRIE: “Yeah.”
HARRIS: “Well, I’ve met with prime ministers and presidents from around the globe, both partners and allies of ours, they are asking what is going on with voting rights in America because they look to us as a role model of what it means to be a democracy and they are monitoring to wonder and question whether there is an erosion of our democracy and, therefore, an erosion of one of the best role models of what a democracy does and can do.”

all by design ... the cabal doesn't care about middle class semantics .... it's beneath them to be quizzical on such issues....
The middle class is EXACTLY who the cabal has targeted. Small businesses are not started, generally by the lowest socio-economic group. It is the middle class. Shutting down small businesses all around the world has been achieved, all due to covid fear and over-reaching political leaders. That was their goal and they have achieved it.
Notice that the big chain stores all stayed open. Look at the list of billionaires who got much richer during all of this. Who suffered most? The middle class who had their businesses and careers ruined, jobs lost. Granted, the lowest rung also suffered but for the most part, they don't own businesses.

RE: Sloes* second solo presser in a year
Jen Psaki Decides to Pee on Your Leg and Tell You It's Raining
Quote:As you’ve probably ascertained by now, Joe Biden’s recent press conference did not go well. Despite the fact that he largely received softball questions, the president still managed to have outbursts of anger and falsehoods. But it was his comments delegitimizing the 2022 election that drew near-universal ire. They were so bad that even CNN managed to levy some mild criticism.
I like to imagine Jen Psaki finishing off her sixth straight cigarette at around the time the presser ended, just being thankful the train-wreck finally ended. Then it was off to perform clean-up duty.
So, how do you spin the fact that Biden twice claimed the 2022 election wouldn’t be legitimate unless he got his garbage “voting rights” bill bassed? Psaki apparently decided on the “pee on their leg and tell them it’s raining” strategy. In hindsight, I suppose there weren’t any better options.
Here’s what that looked like on Fox News this morning.
The problem with that response is essentially everything. We have the two videos showing Biden pointedly questioning the legitimacy of the 2022 election. In one instance, the president asserts that “I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit,” followed by a claim that the passage of his federal elections takeover will be the deciding factor.
In another instance, when asked if the mid-terms will be fair and legitimate, Biden took things a step further. He noted that he and his party would try to convince people that things are being set up to “alter the outcome of the election.” It doesn’t get any clearer than that what he was saying and what his intentions were in making those statements.
Yet, Psaki wakes up the next morning and proclaims with a straight face that Biden wasn’t actually predicting the 2022 election will be illegitimate? Not only did he predict that, but he pointedly laid out the circumstances in which that would be a reality in his view, i.e. if his elections takeover isn’t passed. There was no ambiguity about his comments. But this is the life of a press secretary for a decrepit, 80-year-old man who can’t keep his thoughts straight anymore.
Meanwhile, Never Trumpers are attempting to cope by saying “well, at least they walked it back.” You can almost feel the consternation in their pleas for the president to stop being what he is.
But hey, they bought the ticket, and now they get to take the ride. This is who Biden is, and it’s who he has always been. No amount of gaslighting about what he “really meant” is going to change that.
Besides, these clean-up attempts only further harden opposition to the administration’s positions and policies. People see what’s happening, and they heard what Biden said. Psaki can’t lie her way out of it, though she’ll certainly continue to try.
