The untold story of how Pelosi forced Biden to step down.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13748441/Nancy-Pelosi-forced-Biden-quit-brutal-phone-call-ultimatum.html

NYT, Axios have published similar stories fingering Pelosi as the mastermind.

1stGenAmerican:
Portions of the news that you’re calling a lie was echoed by The Kremlin and other Russian news sources. Are you saying that they’re also lying? The Kremlin is begrudgingly reporting casualties and confirming news of mandatory evacuations. Are they lying ? You pro-Russia monikers have been saying that Ukraine was being smashed since a week after the invasion —how long does a total smashing take? If there was any truth to it, the war would’ve been over long ago.
True Ukraine has taken territory in Russia and are holding Russian troops as hostages. Ukraine has lost 20% of its own to Russia, shale oil rich zone plus the Crimea port.
They are being encouraged to keep fighting by esp America,if they surrendered today Biden Kamala would look very weak on foreign policy just before a pivotal election 3 months away. America has squandered hundreds of billions of dollars to secure Ukraine border, while the border with Mexico only needed $25 billion to build an impregnable wall. Very poor foreign policy by Kamala Biden regime.
Another failure is the pressure America is putting on IDF not to finish off Hamas and Palestinian terrorists. So that they look good ,compare to Trump who brokered historic Abrahamic Records deals across the middle east.
Come to think of it , a hostage release takes months , Ukraine can't reach a deal with Russia until after US elections

But hey Trump slept with a porrnstar😆😆😆

Romney was 2 time governor of Massachusetts a deep blue state, he gave them Massachusetts Healthcare which is almost exactly like Obama care
The day he decided to run, he immediately became a racist and a vulture capitalist
The moment he lost he stopped being all those

Hillary that congratulated is the same one who called Trump an illegitimate president? Is it not the same Hillary who claimed it was Russian collusion that made Trump win. And the left spent years investigating the Russian collusion

2yrs ago When it looked like DeSantis might be the front runner, we started hearing how he was worse than Trump.

The only Republican that they like is the one who has lost or the one they are sure will lose like Nikki Haley
Democrats can reject election results without a problem.
Stacey Abrams never accepted loss also.

Dayo that is simply politics. Opponents will blacklist each other to win elections, even within the same party during their primaries. For example, we all know the name callings and insults that have been passed between Trump and J.D., but now they are on the same ticket. Name calling and bad mouthing opponents have been like that from eternity and will remain like that.

What is key here is that, when all the dusts of insults and bad labels are off, facts will remain standing. Irrespective of whatever ideology that is wrong with the Democrats, is Trump the best of GOP to prosecute the case against them? Where is the decency, honor and integrity known with GOP candidates? Once upon a time, there is no way someone with an accusation of infidelity will win a GOP ticket to the Congress not to talk of getting Presidential ticket. But who do we have here? Trump; Married 3 times, lies for fun with no remorse, someone who asked that women should be grabbed by the pu**y, a fraudster, a convicted felon, someone who mobilize the mob against the Capitol...etc These are not political made up stories or ideology issues like being extremes... These are facts about Trump. And if this is the best of GOP or by whatever means he emerged should be a serious concern for the party.

Forgets about the political parties and their different ideologies, after the elections when the dusts of propagandas are dawn.... Imagine the President and C in C of the great USA known to the rest of the world is a Convicted felon, a porn-star furker with no honor, only good at bragging and telling lies; Africa and some other 3 world countries can present someone like that as their leader, but it is a shame to a country like US.
You fail to note that Trump is ex president. He is running on a record of low immigration, low inflation and low gas prices.
What does a purported one night stand have to do with running the country.
You are holding GOP to a moral compass while a democratic can pretend to be a retired rank he was not and another owes her rise to sucking Will Brown dickk. Pelosi came from a mafia like family.

I can't explain how intellectually inept you really are. You remember when felon trump whipped up the maga crowd who then marched to the capitol and the beat up capitol police, and that resulted in all the proud boys leadership serving decades in jail, oath keepers serving long jail term, and recently one of the longest jail term of 21 years was served just a year behind Enrique tarios 22 years.

What glitzy economy is that where groceries are a huge talking about that require a sort of price control.

Venezuela, Maduro imposed price controls. Food shortages started very soon after.

Kamala will outline her communist solution to capitalism today.
Kamala plans to give $25K to first time home owners. What will be the effect. Every home will go up by more than $25K.
It's like giving everyone money. Prices go up.
Socialism involves big govt intruding into every space.
The other one about fixing rent prices. Socialism.
Fixing the prices of groceries. Socialism.

Trump should label her a communist per see. That's how it starts, govt offers goodies because we shall tax the bourgeoisie heavily.
Next is silencing every critic like the liberals want to shutdown every opposing view.
In the extreme case the wealthy are treated as potential troublemakers to the rulers, their wealth is confiscated and they are exiled to Siberia or to Polpot killing fields.

On disqus someone mentioned after a hurricane in Florida they would rush generators immediately and make a killing . Within hours others would go for the gold rush , and in a few days the prices would hit rock bottom with some vendors almost giving them away for free . Because of demand and supply. When the state fixed the prices of gensets , it now takes weeks before the situation corrects Fewer people are willing to rush gensets whose price is already fixed by the state.

Trump shakes up the social networks with things he said at a conference against anti-Semitism tonight, with the ISRAELI flag behind him:

1. ISRAEL is so small... it needs to be expanded..

2. ISRAEL should be allowed to defeat terrorism. She has a right to it. It would be nice if it happened quickly. I will support that.


3. I will deport and arrest all Hamas and Jihad supporters in the USA.
I fully support his opinion. Why should Hamas be holding hostages abd demanding ceasefire.
IDF should tell them. We are not leaving Gaza until every tunnel is destroyed. Tunnels are under buildings, so inevitable the buildings on the surface will have to go down.
That leaves Gaza back to stone age, they can start rebuilding after that under IDF supervision to make sure not a single tunnel is rebuilt.

They were "Hated" on the left media because of policy and not on a personal level. The same way the Right also "Hated" Obama and called him all sorts of names. Even him wearing a tan suit became the greatest scandal of his presidency.

Others in the GOP who lost election didn't whyne and tell their VP not to certify the election. Isn't it? They accepted their loss in good faith.

Mccain stood up to a woman who tried to say Obama wasn't born in the US or wasn't a Muslim. That was the type of politics being played by the Party of Reagan until Trump came into the picture and dabaru your party.

Mccain and Romney lost againt Obama,they put a call and congratulated him. Even Hilary congratulated Trump himself. He reach Trump time he said the election was rigged and told his supporters to storm the Capitol and told his VP to stop the legal and peaceful transfer of power

Shior
Myopic. Trump is an outsider, no connections with the DC critters. He won by pointing out how corrupt DC is , he had specific plans on how to bring back jobs, how to stop illegal immigration. Etc
They hated him because they could not control him,a billionaire who could not be bought.
He would not start any war, he promised to end wars but gave the MIC the chance to make their usual cash by strengthening the military and exporting arms to Saudi Arabia.
You think that aid to Ukraine for instance doesnt have a percentage wired back to DC elites?
They went after trump from1st minute. Had Jeb won they would have been critical but not to the extent they went against Trump.

Now let me you in on a secret. If something makes liberals go stark raving mad, then that's the right thing to do
Because the liberal left is just plain evil.

Ukraine blew up the Nordstream 2 pipeline.

https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-general-defied-zelenskyy-to-blow-up-nord-stream-attack-wsj-2024-8

Germans may not be happy that they have to pay higher prices for alternative gas.
One senior German official familiar with the country's police investigation into the matter told The Journal: "Our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash."
What's so important with Ukraine joining NATO that it provoked a war where hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, Ukraine has lost 20% of it's territory and in an area with vast shake oil deposits.
Joe and Kamala foreign policy failures.

A few years ago, Trump was the darling of the leftist media. This was his reception on the view



If Trump drops out today, the next Republican nominee will be hated as well.
I remember how Bush Romney and McCain were also hated by the left media now they are darlings of the Democrats
Democrats went bonkers when trump won 2016.Spent 4 years haranguing Trump until Basement Biden won 81m votes in results that took a week to count. Spent next 4 years cooking up schemes to legally prevent him from running, indicted him and finally try to kill him.
There are several who would rather kill Trump than let him expose their misdeeds.
The media was complicit on these schemes,painting him.as a devil , a danger to democracy. Media accuses him.of exactly what they are doing. Example. He will go after his opponents.

With Trump it's a special kind of hatred from the democrats and RINOs .He is not part of the establishment that they can live with. He upset their gravy train.

The argument conservatives in the US are making is that the US should stop sending AID to other countries as we have other priorities here in the US (homeless soldiers, etc etc,) that we can use that money for. So we should focus on helping Americans. They are pushing isolationa nd hard power. Foreign Aid is soft power which a more liberal tenet.

I didn't appreciate your level of mental illness until this post. You believe whatever you want that suits whatever beliefs that you have to make yourself happy. And you then use consporaries as the glue to make them make sense.

To you the reports of Trump saying he wants to cut Foreign Aid have to be made up by the "MSM" because that is the only way your mind can accept that you say (still don't believe you) you work for a US sponsored AID program and still be support Trump.
Trump was the president if you don't remember. He shut aid to UNRWA and PLO who support terrorists and pay families of those who murder Jews. In that case shut the aid. I think that's where your problem is.
You don't aid bodies or countries that work against your interests.
Leverage.
Or maybe he won't give Taliban aid, be it military gifts like. How you think Taliban maintain this equipment gifted to them Biden?
That's the kind of aid whose denial gets your panties in a wad.

How is life under Kamala? You must be joking bro.

Violent crimes down, lowest border crossings, stock market back to 40k record highs, inflation lowers first time in 3 years, now a net exporter of crude oil, oil production at record highs in decades, costliest medicare drugs now cut in half or even further, sports? Record Olympic medal hauls - petty but that's the things even felon trump would want to take credit for.

And Kamala announcing the war against price gouging to even bring cost way down. Or President Biden's war against irregular price fixing in online ticket sales for concerts and war against unfair cancellation policies of airlines? War against junk fees?

And we ain't even started on Infrastructure - you need to see the union jobs involved in massive construction all round the country, and you need to see the rate at which manufacturing jobs are growing. Want to talk about semiconductors? We are now at par with taiwan now.

What can you say about felon rapist trump's time when millions died with COVID, stores were empty,people rushed for toilet papers, record job loss at 3 million when he left office, Crime and murder rate increases, hate crimes flourished..

But you can't say anything coz you are a dumb idiotic maga cultist caught in the sea of years long conspiracy theories and rapist trump lies.

Jesus. What do you think the phrase "America First", that Trump keeps repeating means? Trump and the right literally runs on cutting Foreign Aid and getting out of world bodies like the UN.

And to top it off, you keep crackling about US welfare when your job (if that's true) depends on US welfare (foreign aid) and you aren't even American. You are the typical MAGA at one of Trump's rallies, who says he collects social security but is against socialism. The stupidity ans hypocrisy of it.

Your thinking is more fuxed up than I even thought possible.

Social safety nets are not socialism.
I work for a donor funded org, USAID/UN and others , I usually say it just for annoyances sake.
America First is sort of selfish way of not wasting aid on tinpot thugs who have nothing to show for, It also helped NATO countries to increase their budget.Helped bring down price of oil also which has a global multiplier effect. Also helped the EU be more assertive America first also saw no wars started, no Victoria Nulsnd.

The incumbent wants a reelection before fixing the economy.
She is going to share her economic vision while in office less than 95 days to the election.




This is all down to the media.
They refuse to cover their failures and when the Right tries to we're viciously attacked.
They aren't just playing defense for the Dems, they also play offense.

Imagine if there were two wars with hundreds of thousands dead under Trump; we wouldn't hear the end of it.
They'd be calling a new war in Europe the most consequential foreign policy failing since WW2.
But here we are.
