Opinion piece from The Atlantic

The Dramatic Contrast of Biden’s Last Act​

Two political myths inspired the dreams and haunted the nightmares of the Founders of the American republic. Both these foundational myths were learned from the history and literature of the ancient Romans.

Cincinnatus was the name of a man who, the story went, accepted supreme power in the state to meet a temporary emergency and then relinquished that power to return to his farm when the emergency passed. George Washington modeled his public image on the legend of Cincinnatus, and so he was depicted in contemporary art and literature—“the Cincinnatus of the West,” as Lord Byron praised him in a famous poem of the day.

Against the bright legacy of Cincinnatus, the Founders contrasted the sinister character of Catiline: a man of depraved sexual appetites who reached almost the pinnacle of power and then exploited populist passions to overthrow the constitution, gain wealth, and pay his desperately pressing debts. Alexander Hamilton invoked Catiline to inveigh against his detested political adversary, Aaron Burr:

Has Donald running scared? LOL

Is that the sexual 'violence' derived from that fake trial where that weird looking gal couldn't remember stuff about it? She said it happened in a department store... (saw a movie like that once)... and she's not his 'type'?

or the 'grab 'em by the pussy'? (Women do like a guy to take the lead you know? Unless they're pussy hat wearing feminists that is...)

I doubt she'll go down that 'Willie Brown path' of her career....

I doubt she'll make it to the election process...
This is laugh out loud 'attempting to take the high ground' funny stuff. Equating Biden with historical figures as if acts in a play.

"President Joe Biden’s speech last night adapted the story of Cincinnatus: “Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy,” he said. “That includes personal ambition.” By presenting the next election as a stark choice between, on the one side, “honesty, decency, respect, freedom, justice, and democracy” and, on the other side, the opposites of those things, Biden cast his chief political adversary in the ancient role of Catiline."​

One would have to be a blind liberal to ignore all the personal ambition and graft the Biden crime family have acquired over 50 years of supping at the public trough.

"The names and stories of Cincinnatus and Catiline are no longer well remembered. But their symbolism survives even after the details have blurred: self first versus country first; appetite versus conscience; ego versus law."​

Probably because the Democrats (Jimmy the peanut farmer) created the Federal Dept of Education which, by directing Federal funds, controlled what schools could and could not teach by centralizing what used to be regional education requirements - a one-size-fits-all instruction system that dumbed down the population.

The Atlantic is trying to put lipstick on the pig here....

Not a 'felon' unless sentenced... but they'll milk it anyways.

Is there any possibility they dont sentence him? If they are willing to kill him they surely are willing to lock him up.

If the SCOTUS nulls and voids the case on grounds it was made up BS... just like all the other cases they attempted....
 
The height thing is def weird. I also checked, and the heights listed for them are accurate.

@searcher , what do think is up with that? How can Biden visibly be so much taller, if we ain't bein' lied to?

No way to get to them before the election.
Edited to add. Since when does the left obey the SC? SC says no Joe you cannot forgive student loans. You dont have that authority. Joe says watch me. Forgives student loans. Turns to SC with both fingers up. Your move assholes.
 

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama Endorse Kamala Harris for President​

WASHINGTON—Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama endorsed Kamala Harris’s presidential bid Friday, lending their support in the most notable sign yet of the vice president’s rapid consolidation of the Democratic Party.

The endorsement from the Obamas came at the end of Harris’s first week since becoming the party’s expected nominee in the aftermath of President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race against his GOP rival former President Donald Trump.

In a video released by the campaign, Harris spoke to the Obamas by phone while she was in Indianapolis for an event on Wednesday. Obama said he and the former first lady “couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.”

Michelle Obama added: “This is going to be historic,” a nod to Harris’s potential of becoming the nation’s first woman to win the presidency.

Joe and Netanyahu are both exactly 6 feet tall, but when in a pic of the two standing side by side, Joe appears to be quite a bit taller than Netanyahu.
It looks odd.

Did Netanyahu shrink, or did Joe have a late growth spurt?

In the pic with Jill, Joe is wearing flat shoes and Jill is in heels that look to be 3", and yet Joe towers over her. If she's 5'6" and wearing 3" heels, he should only appear about 4" taller than her, at the most.


I don't know why you included Trump, as he isn't pictured with them.

Lawrence: Everything out of Trump's mouth is ‘real garbage’ and it should be treated as such​

Jul 25, 2024 #MSNBC #Trump #KamalaHarris

The Harris campaign called Donald Trump a “78-year-old criminal” after Trump called Vice President Harris “real garbage” on Fox. MSNBC’S Lawrence O’Donnell says the phrase “78-year-old criminal” is going to be thrown at Trump every day of this presidential campaign.

Looks like the full court press is on. Sad what the media has become since Obama was in office. Also one of the reasons no one watches them anymore. Joe rogan gets more views on a bad day than CNN on their best.

James O'Keefe FEC Lawsuit: Chinese Ties To Democrat ActBlue Money Laundering Scheme
‌
“Evidence that over 60% of the money involved in this is apparently coming from China”

Laundered as fraud donations “done through the home addresses of the elderly”
‌
“Act Blue FEC investigation into money apparently laundered from various addresses through act blue. Election Watch will be filing a complaint with the FEC and DC over the discrepancies and apparent fraud that has taken place with all these donations, many of which are done through the home addresses of the elderly.

Election watch will file the complaint with the FEC, wait the required 120 days, and then file a lawsuit in the northern district of Virginia. Included in that lawsuit will be evidence that over 60% of the money involved in this is apparently coming from China.
‌
ActBlue is feeding a lot of money to other packs like Emily's list, color of change pack, just to name a few. Much of this information through election watch came from Internet tracing Internet traffic patterns.
‌
Looking at where the transactions are coming from and where they're going to based upon these traffic flow patterns, you can actually see what's happening. There's also receipts of large amount of monies on the FEC website to financial processors like Amalgamated bank, particularly the Washington DC branch of Amalgamated bank, one of the institutions making many of these transactions. Dibby is also named.
‌
They're a debit card processor out of Utah. There's large amounts of money going through that. Much of this will be included in the lawsuit, but many questions remain unanswered. We hope that this army of citizen journalists watching through OMG will find those answers. Stay tuned.”
 
Obamala is front and center


Biden attempted to bankrupt Trump, throw Trump in prison for life, throw Trump off the ballot, and almost got Trump killed.

When Biden failed, Democrat insiders overturned the will of 14 million Democrat primary voters and ousted Biden in a bloodless coup.

Today's Democrats only care about power.

Biden was the Democrats' useful idiot.

And Biden found out the hard way he's no longer useful.

Trump has Republicans united and strong.

Biden has Democrats divided and in chaos.

The person most responsible for this, besides Biden, is Kamala Harris.

Kamala has been lying to the American people for years.

"Democracy!"
