Ain't Trump great- those who voted for him must be proud. Initial news reports about his income taxes- NO WONDER he never released them- show he LOST Billions- he's the great businessman, the outsider who would drain the swamp, he's only conned every voter into HIS personal swamp- how many millions has he gotten from the gobblers to pay for his lawyer fees....damn, and they called slick Willie, slick...Trump makes every politician look like a saint. ANYONE but Trump.

Former Packers QB DeShone Kizer says Aaron Rodgers asked him if he believed in 9/11
DeShone Kizer’s NFL career didn’t amount to much—it lasted all of four seasons, including a winless 2017 campaign in Cleveland. But, if nothing else, Kizer at least brushed shoulders with future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers, serving as his backup in 2018. Kizer, who spent time with three organizations (four if you include his stint on the Titans’ practice squad) before his career fizzled out in 2021, got quite the introduction to Rodgers, who, upon meeting him, immediately prompted him for his thoughts on September 11th.
“The first thing that comes out of Aaron Rodgers’ mouth was, ‘Do you believe in 9/11?’” Kizer told Adam Breneman on his podcast earlier this week. “[I said], ‘Yeah, why wouldn’t I?’ He was like, ‘You should read up on that.’”
While Kizer attributed this bizarre first encounter to the usual feeling out process by veterans initiating new teammates, Rodgers’ views on everything from psychedelics (including his well-documented use of ayahuasca) to alternative treatments for COVID-19 would suggest he has legitimate doubts about what took place on 9/11. ADVERTISING
Living in the age of spin, where unsubstantiated rumors and narratives (aka “fake news”) run rampant, requires a healthy skepticism. However, as we’ve seen with other pop-culture figures who tout themselves as “free thinkers” (Kyrie Irving, Joe Rogan, Kanye West, etc.), challenging existing beliefs with contrarian opinions doesn’t equate to greater intelligence and, in many cases, does more harm than good. Just ask the families of Sandy Hook victims, who recently won a $1-billion lawsuit against Alex Jones (a known conspiracy theorist and far-right radical) for alleging one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history was a hoax staged by crisis actors.
“What it ended up being was a real thought experiment where he wanted me to go back and look into some of the conspiracies around it and provoke conversation and bond over that,” said Kizer, who, though skeptical at first, believes Rodgers’ icebreaker was actually beneficial for their friendship. “We started sharing some books and talking about some other things. Got into history and finance.”
Whether you think Rodgers is a misunderstood genius or a dangerous purveyor of misinformation, the 38-year-old has had, by all accounts, a nightmare 2022, struggling to a 4-8 record while playing through a painful thumb injury that has many wondering if the Packers would be better off shutting him down, allowing Jordan Love to play out the stretch of a meaningless season. Still, Rodgers confirmed during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that he plans to suit up against the Bears, a team the four-time MVP has dominated throughout his career (23-5 record).
Newt Gingrich praises Biden, warns GOP against underestimating president
Alexander Nazaryan·Senior White House Correspondent Fri, December 2, 2022 at 2:09 PM·4 min read
WASHINGTON — President Biden recently received praise — backhanded and qualified, but praise all the same — from one of the figures least likely to offer a favorable assessment of a Democratic administration: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
In a new column published on his website, Gingrich offers his own party a blunt warning: “Republicans must learn to quit underestimating President Joe Biden.”
It is a remarkable concession for a man who practically invented modern-day partisan combat, which allows for little concession or compromise. Gingrich engineered the impeachment of President Bill Clinton; later, having left Congress amid ethical lapses, he assailed President Barack Obama as a supposed “socialist” in disguise.
Gingrich is no Biden supporter, to be sure, and he takes plenty of jabs at Biden’s allegedly “woke” agenda, meant to usher in what he calls “Big Government Socialism,” a seeming reference to the trillions of dollars the president has devoted, with congressional approval, for coronavirus relief, infrastructure projects and green energy initiatives.
Yet he also believes that GOP attacks on the president have been ineffective, citing Democrats’ surprisingly good showing in last month’s elections as evidence.
“The Biden team had one of the best first term off-year elections in history,” he writes, an assertion bolstered by recent trends in electoral politics. “They were not repudiated. They did not have to pay for their terrible mismanagement of the economy.”
Republican attacks have often focused on Biden’s age and his supposed senility. Some opponents of the current president made similar attacks — albeit much less harshly — during the 2020 primary for the Democratic presidential nomination. They did not work then; Gingrich does not seem to think they are working now.
“We dislike Biden so much, we pettily focus on his speaking difficulties, sometimes strange behavior, clear lapses of memory, and other personal flaws. Our aversion to him and his policies makes us underestimate him and the Democrats,” Gingrich writes.
He even compares the current president to Republican predecessors Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, both of whom at times benefited from similarly low estimations.
As the legendary journalist Murray Kempton wrote of Eisenhower in Esquire, “He was the great tortoise upon whose back the world sat for eight years. We laughed at him; we talked wistfully about moving; and all the while we never knew the cunning beneath the shell.”
Much like Biden, Reagan was eternally hounded by questions about his age and mental competence. In a 1983 column for the New York Times, former Nixon speechwriter William Safire urged Reagan to retire. “I think President Reagan would better serve the country by passing the torch to somebody ready to make a fresh start on the course he originally set,” Safire offered, sounding very much like the Democrats who now want Biden to step aside.
A little more than a year later, Reagan would prevail in his reelection campaign, with a 49-state victory that remains unrivaled.
Although it is not yet clear if Biden will seek reelection, his success in helping the Democratic Party avert disaster in the midterms will almost surely serve as an argument in favor of his running again. Biden, his family and longtime advisers expect to make a final decision during the holiday season.
Republicans, meanwhile, are struggling to reconcile the return of Donald Trump, who is running for a third time, with a spate of younger candidates eager to challenge him. That eventual candidate will likely confront some of the same challenges that Republicans did in 2022, when many of them waged campaigns based on culture war issues like public safety and transgender rights.
That would be a mistake, Gingrich appears to say, despite having waged plenty of culture wars of his own. “Today there is not nearly enough understanding (or acknowledgement) among leading Republicans that our system and approach failed,” he writes.
Yet more stupidity from a Republican politician who was defeated yet still refuses to concede.....
Judge calls election lawsuit ‘baseless,’ orders Kari Lake, Mark Finchem to pay court fees
A U.S. District Court Judge in Phoenix ordered former Arizona GOP candidates Kari Lake and Mark Finchem to pay court costs incurred by Maricopa County to defend against what the judge said was a lawsuit “filled with false narratives.”
In August, Judge John J. Tuchi dismissed Lake and Finchem’s lawsuit over the county’s electronic ballot machines.
“It is to make clear that the Court,” Judge Tuchi wrote. “Will not condone litigants ignoring the steps that Arizona has already taken toward [elections] and furthering false narratives that baselessly undermine public trust at a time of increasing disinformation about, and distrust in, the democratic process. It is to send a message to those who might file similarly baseless suits in the future.”
Maricopa County election official Bill Gates offered a statement after Thursday’s ruling:
As a former Election Day lawyer for the Arizona Republican Party, I have deep respect for the election contest process because it allows campaigns a venue for legitimate grievances by distinguishing truth from conjecture.
Unfortunately, we’ve seen too many examples in recent years of attorneys trying to weaponize the court for political purposes, in particular, to undermine free and fair elections. It is wrong, it is unethical, and these attorneys must be held accountable if we are to protect our democratic republic.
Today’s sanctions against the lawyers who brought the frivolous Lake v. Hobbs case are a win for the rule of law. Although rarely imposed, Rule 11 sanctions serve as a consequence for those who file baseless and meritless lawsuits.
A judge already dismissed the lawsuit, but Maricopa County asked for sanctions because these claims are demonstrably false.
Today, Judge Tuchi ruled that “the Court will not condone litigants...furthering false narratives that baselessly undermine public trust as a time of increasing disinformation about, and distrust in, the democratic process.”

Kari Lake criticizes judge who sanctioned her legal team in lawsuit against Maricopa County
Kari Lake says the lawsuit she and Mark Finchem filed before the Arizona Primary was not in bad faith.
Lake says her lawyers should not be sanctioned.
On Thursday, Federal District Court Judge John Tuchi disagreed saying Lake's and FInchem's legal team filed false, misleading, and unsupported claims in their lawsuit against Maricopa County.
Lake and Finchem tried to block Maricopa and Pima counties from using any electronic device to cast or count votes.
Their case was thrown out in August. Judge Tuchi called it frivolous and baseless.
"When a judge issues a 30-page ruling with specific detailed factual findings that is a judge who is irate over the misconduct of attorneys who have engaged in basically a fraudulent case," said Attorney Tom Ryan, an election law expert.
Lake and Finchem wanted only paper ballots which are already used and they wanted the ballots to be counted by hand.
In his 30-page ruling ordering sanctions, Judge Tuchi wrote the plaintiffs sought "massive, perhaps unprecedented federal judicial intervention."
Tuchi went on the say, "They never had a factual basis or legal theory that came anywhere to meeting the burden."
Ryan said, "the court ruled maybe Finchem and Lake should have known better, but the lawyers must have known better and should have known better."
The legal team included Alan Dershowitz, Andrew Parker, Jesse Kibort and Joseph Pull from Parker Daniels Kibort LLC in Minnesota and Kurt Olsen, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney.
In a statement through her spokesman Ross Trumble, Lake said, "Sanctions like this are rare. In every lawsuit, there will be a winner and a loser. Sanctioning the loser is rare and has to rise to the level of subjective bad faith or frivolity. This case is not about money or gain. It was essentially a public interest lawsuit seeking electoral integrity. It is very rare to sanction a party in public interest suits. There were 5 experts called by the plaintiff. One cannot be in "bad faith" with that many experts supporting your theory. They could be wrong. But not bad faith."
"Punishing counsel," the statement read, "is a serious effort to impugn the professional reputation of counsel. This could lead to a bar complaint. Doing this deters other lawyers from ever agreeing to help conservatives. We saw this in real-time in 2020 with numerous Trump lawyers."
Tom Ryan said that is exactly the point, "As judges realize that this election denial industry is not going away and that sanctions that they have imposed haven't stopped, I believe they're going to start to turn to additional penalties and sanctions to bring this to a grinding halt."
Trump's call to suspend Constitution not a 2024 deal-breaker, leading House Republican says
Sun, December 4, 2022 at 9:55 AM·1 min read
Republican Rep. Dave Joyce said Sunday that he didn't want to be drawn into commenting on Donald Trump's recent call to suspend the Constitution over baseless claims of 2020 election fraud.
Joyce, the chair of the influential Republican Governance Group in the House, was asked by ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos to respond to Trump's post on Saturday on his Truth Social platform.
Joyce initially declined to do so, saying the public wasn't "interested in looking backwards." But Stephanopoulos followed up and Joyce ultimately said that Trump's comment shouldn't be taken seriously but that it wouldn't lead him to pull potential support for Trump's 2024 comeback bid.
"I will support whoever the Republican nominee is," Joyce said while noting he didn't think Trump would manage to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
"That's a remarkable statement," Stephanopoulos said. "You just said you'd support a candidate who's come out for suspending the Constitution."
"Well, you know, he says a lot of things," Joyce said. "I can't be really chasing every one of these crazy statements that come out about from any of these candidates at the moment."
"You can't come out against someone who's for suspending the Constitution?" Stephanopoulos pushed back once again.
"He says a lot of things that, but that doesn't mean that it's ever going to happen. So you got to accept fact from fantasy -- and fantasy is that we're going to suspend the Constitution and go backwards," Joyce said.
Disgraced Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz Smears Ron DeSantis With Tired Democrat “Antisemitism” and “White Supremacy” Slanders
Wasserman Schultz Accuses DeSantis of Complicity Concerning Antisemitism Does silence equal complicity? JACKSON BAKICH DECEMBER 5, 2022
Recently, Ye or the artist formally known as Kanye West, has provided a flurry of antisemitic comments. These statements have included admiration for Hitler, Nazis, and a disdain for those who rush to criticize the former. The national outrage prompted President Joe Biden (D) to release a statement condemning the rapper’s utterances, going as far as saying that “silence is complicity.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) is calling out Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and has accused him of being complicit due to his lack of vocalization on the matter.
The silence of Ron DeSantis about the antisemites and white supremacists his party leader promotes can't be forgiven just because it conflicts with his naked personal ambitions. Silence is complicity. https://t.co/ThTi0OI8CB
— Debbie Wasserman Schultz (@DWStweets) December 2, 2022
“The silence of Ron DeSantis about the antisemites and white supremacists his party leader promotes can't be forgiven just because it conflicts with his naked personal ambitions. Silence is complicity,” tweeted Rep. Wasserman Schultz.
According to the Rolling Stone article that Wasserman Schultz attaches alongside her statement, Gov. DeSantis and his camp is looking avoid talking about the infamous dinner in which former President Donald Trump (R) invited West over for dinner who apparently brought a far-right commentator and antisemite Nick Fuentes along with him.
President Trump has repeatedly taken shots at DeSantis, at one point dubbing him “Ron DeSanctimonious.” Gov. DeSantis has refused to return any shots, perhaps delaying a public insult-fest until the 2024 presidential primary season begins.
Trump almost certainly did not receive any positive press once the dinner was reported. Just a few days following his campaign announcement, it is another unforced error that could possibly turn off more voters to the former Commander-in-Chief, even after the January 6th debacle.
Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) released statements denouncing West and Fuentes respectively.
Anti-Semitism is disgusting and evil. The nonsense Kanye West is spewing is hate and will never, ever be tolerated.
As Americans, we must all stand united against anti-Semitism and support our Jewish neighbors in the face of these despicable attacks.
— Rick Scott (@SenRickScott) December 2, 2022
“Anti-Semitism is disgusting and evil. The nonsense Kanye West is spewing is hate and will never, ever be tolerated. As Americans, we must all stand united against anti-Semitism and support our Jewish neighbors in the face of these despicable attacks,” tweeted Scott.
Rubio gave an exclusive statement to The Floridian, stating “"Nick Fuentes is a purveyor and a spreader of an evil ideology," and that "he is a flat-out anti-Semite who should never be legitimized."
Perhaps the error made by Trump to bring West and Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago alongside with his past missteps could entice those such as Sens. Scott and Rubio to entertain a presidential run for office in 2024? around.
And if the Rolling Stone report is true and the murmurs concerning a DeSantis presidential run come to fruition, there could be 3 statewide elected politicians looking to change their address to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I can't stand her, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz is 100% correct, and no apologies are needed. DeSantis is a turd, Trump 2.0, and will never be POTUS, I promise you that. The Biden coalition of moderate Rs, independents, and the left isn't about to give up the fight against looney fascism anytime soon. Just adding a bit of truth to your world of misinformation.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
I would be careful about making promises like that one. A Republican led congress is going to have two years to sling all the mud they can at the democrats. And while DeSantis isn't really that much different than trump he does spread the message in a far less childish and attacking form.

Benedict Biden Asked Why He Isn’t Visiting the Border While in Arizona – His Answer Proves He’s a Traitor and Shows Where His Allegiance Lies
Video: Biden Was Asked Why He Isn’t Visiting The Border While He’s In Arizona – His Answer Proves That He’s A Traitor And Shows Where His Allegiance Lies By Kellyanne Richardson - December 6, 2022
President Biden today visited Phoenix, Arizona, for semiconductor manufacturer TSMC’s announcement to increase its chip investment in the state to $40 billion.
Taiwan-based TSMC will also announce its commitment to construct a second fab that will produce three-nanometer chips.
Apple CEO Tim Cook and Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su will also be in attendance Tuesday. Cook and Su will both be sourcing significant chips from TSMC’s Arizona facility, White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese said in a briefing.
Deese said TSMC’s announcement furthers Biden’s economic agenda that he says goes beyond semiconductors.
But it seems it’s all about money when it comes to the big guy!
When Biden was asked why he isn’t visiting the southern border while he’s in Arizona, he revealed that he isn’t worried about the Fentanyl and the children that are being trafficked through our southern border.
He doesn’t care about the patriots that have their homes invaded every day!
He says there are more important things and that money comes first when it comes to him!
Doocy: “Why go to Arizona and not visit the border?”
Biden: “Because there’s more important things going on.”
Video below:
Yea, like another Taiwanese chip plant that only employs Taiwanese…. Except for the janitorial positions.
As Fox News reported President Biden is not scheduled to visit the southern border during his trip to Arizona on Tuesday — a decision criticized by both conservative and progressive immigration experts.
The White House schedule states that Biden will visit Phoenix to tout his economic initiatives, but there is no mention of a stop at the border, which is just over 100 miles away.
Biden has not gone to the border as president, despite soaring illegal immigration, gruesome human trafficking and massive quantities of fentanyl illegally entering the U.S.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last month that “he’s been there,” but she may have been referring to trips Biden made to the border before becoming president. Officials did not respond to a request on when Biden supposedly visited the border.
Why have you never called out the real Benedict Arnold's and traitors that attacked the Capital on January 6th rather than post some stupid story that actually proves nothing of the sort?

Those people are being prosecuted. Mean while, others just walk across the border.
Maybe when y'all elect true leaders, they will pass legislation to deal with your little border issues. NOPE! They will investigate Hunter's laptop like they did Hilldawgs emails. No there, there but they will waste Dem's time and theirs chasing their tails. And you making fun of a whataboutism with what about the border...
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
Ah, got it. You're depending on the R's to protect the border, since the D's don't and won't. Thanks for that admission. (hey, how long has biden been president?????)
No. Me thinking you are a big boy and should easily be able to answer your own question. Dems are protecting the border. Sanely. Why sanely? Because we don't shiver, quiver, and crap our pants when we see brown people. Got that?

With border patrol and common sense. You probably don't know much about the latter, but you understand what the border patrol does, right? The border, contrary to prevalent GOPer BS, is far from wide open.

Could that be because the number of illegals trying to get here has grown ?
OR could be that Biden is on it. But hey, don't let the numbers get in the way of an excellent GOPer lie. And BTW- they quit coming when Trump was in office, not because he was tough on them, but because they were better off in Mexico and Canada.

Funny how you only whine about the border when the D's are in power. Where were you from 2016-2020? I get it, it's only a real problem when the people you support aren't in power. Just because you believed trump didn't mean what he said was true. I actually thought you had better sense than actually believer all of his lies. But here's the actual truth....
