The Dems' Failed Damage Control

Senator Ron Johnson (Q-Moscow) is already in position for the next four years - on his knees, ready to kiss whatever body part The Orange Felon presents to him. This is evidence by this strange claim RoJo recently made: Also the coalition that President Trump has assembled, people like Elon Musk, Robert Candy, Tulsi Gabbard, these are people that span the political spectrum, are willing to put their differences aside, focus on areas of agreement.

"We were flooded with phone calls from people all day, literally around the world.” Sure, Jan. Source: Daily Beast MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough downplayed a furious online response to the revelation that he met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday’s Morning Joe. Scarborough and his wife, co-host Mika Brzezinski—who have fiercely criticized Trump since his first term—told viewers a day earlier that they’d met with the president-elect last week, explaining they agreed to “restart communications” with the Republican.

The adage that in wartime you can have either guns or butter, but you can't have both never seemed more vividly illustrated than in Russia recently where the high cost of butter has thieves stealing it so often that protective covers had to be placed on it in supermarkets. With inflation running around 10% in Russia, interest rates at 21% and mortgages in similar territory, basic staple items such as butter (up 26% this year) have become harder for ordinary Russians to buy. Source: Financial Times Thefts of packs of butter have highlighted the impact of skyrocketing inflation on Russia’s war economy. President Vladimir Putin’s splurge on arms and ammunition has helped Moscow to maintain an advantage on the battlefield in Ukraine, but it is increasingly coming at the cost of soaring prices for everyday essentials. Security footage in Ekaterinburg, the capital of Russia’s defence industry, recently captured two masked men breaking into a dairy shop.

The game begins for the task of running the Democratic National Committee. We don't know who else is considering a run yet, but whoever it is, the question will be: Who's best at rebuilding? Via CNN: CNN — Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor and commissioner of the Social Security Administration, on Monday became the first person to announce a bid to lead the Democratic National Committee as the party plots a post-election path forward. “We must organize in every state and speak to the economic concerns of every person in America,” O’Malley said in a statement provided to CNN.

Donald Trump's new immigration czar Tom Homan told Fox and Friends that if any Democratic mayor, chief of Police, or governor blocks his efforts to deport anyone they will be charged with a felony. The MAGAt shitshow has already begun, but Donald Dump has no idea the pandemonium he will cause once his plans take off with Homan in charge. JONES: Real quickly, what happens to a mayor or local police department chief that is under democratic leadership that obstructs ICE in your federal agents that are helping get these deportation?

CNN contributor Anna Navarro took apart Donald Trump's ludicrous pick to be the next Attorney General by describing a little recent history that involved a former president and his nominations. Lest we forget Nannygate? Nannygate, anyone, anyone? NAVARRO: Remember, let me-let me just say this. I remember You and I are old enough to remember when Bill Clinton had two Attorney General nominees, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, who were eliminated, who had to withdraw because they had employed illegal nannies. Matt Gaetz is accused of sleeping with a girl who's almost young enough to need a nanny. And Republicans are saying there's nothing to see here. What's a little statutory rape among Trump cabinet nominees? We are way past using the word hypocrisy to describe Republican actions and Donald Trump. Would a Trump cabinet nominee get through the nomination process even with an actual statutory rape conviction on their record? I'm sure people at Fox News would say Trump's pick has served their time under the law, so now they are qualified. Am I right, or am I right? read more
