Politics & Religion / Re: The US Congress; Congressional races
« Last post by ccp on Today at 06:29:44 AM »
what is the congress breakdown now with Trump picking off members for DC slots?

and is there still a race not yet decided

I see breakdown of 220 - 214 but that means one is not yet decided   :x

And Trump picked off 3? which makes it 217 to 214 or 215?

So all the Dems have to do is pick off 3 Rs and we can't get through our agenda.
Until the empty seats have special elections at least.

"Harris generally played well the very poor hand Biden bequeathed her"

Nonsense.  She wasn't a victim.  Joe left her to play a hand no worse than it would have been if she was President the whole four years. She couldn't "separate herself" or credible move to the center because these policies were her policies too.

She was to the Left of Joe all along. Economically, that means she was to the dysfunction side of Joe, not that she has some kind of unicorn socialism that would have worked.

She was to the center from Joe on NOTHING.

Preface: The Trump Presidency 1.0 was interrupted in years 1 and 2 by the Russian collusion hoax and in year 4 by covid...

Yet he and a Republican Congress managed to cut excessive regulations and pass major tax reform.

In 2019, the last year before covid shutdowns, incomes in America grew more in one year under Trump and Republican policies than they did in 12 years of Obama Biden and Democrat policies. This included record income increases for Blacks and Hispanics.

This would seem to get to the essence:

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/bidens-used-web-of-shell-companies-to-conceal-foreign-cash-bank-records-obtained-by-house-gop-reveal/?fbclid=IwY2xjawG6u4dleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHQRfkY2hoDpRlb0itWLQsWp1UAyf4dpn2byuUj2O9CbSXIna6I6XaiUruA_aem_LZ0YfiWZgrl19w1zMiZQ4Q

==================

Question for the legal experts;

Now that Hunter is pardoned can he, if he were subpoenaed in front of a Congressional committee for example, still "take the fifth" and refuse to answer questions?

Not an expert but it would seem the Fifth is not available for him on things that happened during these specific years and dates. Contempt after Dec 1 would be a new crime.

I hate to say but I don't want Congress wasting one minute on Joe Biden with less than two years to save America.

Politics & Religion / PP: Kash Patel

Trump nominates deep state sleuth to lead FBI: The alarm and outrage on the Left is telling. It's as if they know that Donald Trump's nomination of Kash Patel to lead the FBI means that their deep state secrets are about to be exposed. Patel was both a federal prosecutor and a federal public defender, which Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton notes means he has experience "not only in putting criminals behind bars but also can understand what happens when government overreaches." Trey Gowdy, himself a former federal prosecutor, knows a good and well-qualified nominee when he sees one. "You would not know the foundation or the funding of the Steele dossier," said Gowdy. "You would not know about FISA abuse. You would not know about Fusion GPS had it not been for the hard work of a guy named Kash Patel. He is, quite candidly, the most unfairly maligned person that I worked with the entire eight years I was in Washington." Why might that be? Might it be that Patel knows where all the FBI's pro-Democrat, anti-Trump bodies are buried? All reform-minded liberty-loving Americans should be exceedingly pleased that Trump has nominated Patel to take over for pencil-pushing corruption-enabling Chris Wray at the FBI. If only Wray had the decency to resign instead of forcing Trump to fire him.
