  • Interesting timing. Not that I’m doubting the validity, and agree with others who are questioning that it’s only 11. A week before the election, it’s obvious that it’s to give people enough time to hear it as to sway as many votes as possible.

    But, is it 11 that are the most compelling? Are the dems planning for if they retake the house and senate? Planning on a fast impeachment? If so, do they really think they will have enough senate votes to find him guilty? Doubtful.

    However, if the evidence for the 11 is compelling enough to satisfy most people, are there enough republicans to support it as a way to get their failing leader out of office, implanting the vp in his stead? Compelling enough to satisfy the majority of their base, as a way for them to rebuild their base, crumbling due to his actions? If the republicans lose both houses, are they going to use the opportunity to salvage the situation, attempt to stabilize things for 2 years, and try again in 28?

    Long shot assumptions, and too many open questions. Probably giving too much credit to the possibility of forward thinking politicians. Also the fact that he has his claws so far into the republican party, it’s probably not going to survive him.



  • Let’s game this out. Assume what he was saying is true. Prices went up because Democrats have environmental regulations. Ok, cool. So the Democrats are protecting the environment? What an excellent endorsement.

    When did prices shoot up? Just this year, right? Did the Democrats add these regulations this year then? Even though the House, Senate, and White House are controlled by Maga, somehow the party controlling all branches of the federal government was sidelined and wasn’t able to stop it. Is he saying the Maga party, and by extension the President, is weak and feckless? Bold of him to say.

    However, Occam’s Razor tends to indicate he is full of crap, and that disel prices went up due to fallout from an unwinnable war, initiated by a feckless President, as a distraction from the allegations that he raped children.

    Either way, good on the Democrats for protecting the environment, I suppose.
