Now that it has been discovered that Joe Biden has his own trove of classified documents hidden away in various living spaces, it throws new light and causes new problems for Merritt Garland. Garland has tried to solve this problem by appointing Special Prosecutors for all the classified document cases. But since Biden’s papers have suddenly appeared, it will make it much more difficult to prosecute Trump for his more egregious actions, because what he did, even though it is much worse, looks like what Biden did.
So far, the information indicates that Trump supervised the transport of his documents from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
Biden, on the other hand seems to have no knowledge of how the docs got to his house and garage. The probability is that they were mistakenly packed with personal papers by assistants who were in a hurry to get on to their next job as Biden left the Obama administration. Further discoveries may change this situation but as of now that’s a big difference. The fact is that Trump is an ex-President harboring documents which he has no right to, while Biden is currently President so there is no problem until he loses an election.
Although suspicion runs rampant there is no proof, as yet, that Trump has sold any classified documents to anyone. If that holds true then the whole story can go into the dumpster marked, “No harm no foul.”
That’s probably where it belongs anyhow. If our government’s legal and security agencies can’t nail Trump with something more important than ignoring a subpoena than maybe the GOP is right in their attack on the FBI. This is a career criminal that has admitted to more criminal acts than the average Mafioso; and he does it in public because he thinks it’s okay as long as he’s bragging about it.

In 1954, Joseph Welch, a Boston lawyer uttered the words that destroyed the career of Joseph McCarthy, scabrous Republican Senator from Wisconsin.
“Haven’t you done enough? At long last, sir have you no decency?” With those few words, Welch ripped apart the career of the despicable McCarthy, a self-serving careerist who lied his way to infamy by destroying the careers of others. That couldn’t happen today. No one cares about the damage politicians are doing. No one cares that degenerate scum like George Santos are poisoning our political system so long as those scum vote the way they want.
That’s why another McCarthy, just as degenerate as the 1954 version, refuses to consider that the GOP has a nest of dangerous snakes in its den. It has become the party of the unacceptable, embracing the likes of Jim Jordan with his involvement with the sexual abuse of athletes while coaching at Ohio State, Matt Gaetz who is ass deep in child trafficking sexual allegations as we speak and Marjorie Taylor Greene who not just accepts but embraces Q-Anon as “her people.”
These are people who aspire to run our country. These degenerates, who would never have been accepted in government at a previous time in history, are now in a position to make decisions that will affect your lives and your children’s lives. But they don’t care about you and your kids. All they care about is power and the rewards that come from having it.
Right now, the people who voted for Santos must rise and demand his expulsion from office. This swine gained office by lying about everything he ever spoke about in addition to financing his campaign with illegal money. He must go!

A new presidential poll shows that Biden would beat Trump by 49% to 41%. WHAT? Only eight points? What the hell is wrong with the American electorate? On the one hand you have a serial lying. criminal sociopath, and on the other you have a man who has done more for this country in a little over two years than anyone since Franklyn Delano Roosevelt.
But the poll doesn’t end there. It also shows Biden trailing Ron DeSantis by 45% to 41%. How is this possible? What are these fools looking at? What has DeSantis done but babble nonsense and ignore those in his state that need help? He runs a state with serious natural problems, a state where buildings are collapsing, and the infrastructure is rotting but in which the state mechanism has chosen to deal with these problems by passing arcane regulations that are overseen by under-staffed building departments, resulting in problems never getting solved. Is that what Americans want to see in the presidency as opposed to Biden’s record of accomplishment? It appears that many Americans do, as long as it is accompanied by biased immigration policies, non-functional gun laws and the inability to get descent health insurance.

In a world where the former Speaker of the House has her home invaded and her husband attacked by a hammer wielding madman and where Solomon Pena, a wannabe congressman who lost his election by 48 points but still thinks he was cheated, hired gunmen to shoot at the homes of his political enemies, it’s not surprising that Kevin McCarthy would appoint nothing but losers when he stacked the various House committees with every nutcase and fanatic he could drag out of the dumpster of the GOP. It should be no surprise to find the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar Scott Perry, and Lauren Boebert on the House Oversight Committee. This quartet of election deniers, bigots, racists, and fantasy world subscribers, drags us back to the mess created in 2010 when the Tea Party brought an army of ignorant violent know-nothings to Capitol Hill, opening the House to the ravages of ignorance, duplicity, and criminal dishonesty.
These are all swine who will applaud the actions of Pena and others who find political violence to be a viable solution to their anti-Democratic needs.
So, what is this all about? It’s about the fact that one of the most important committees of the House is now stacked with fanatics who obey no logic or even understand what the job of the committee is. They have been appointed to exact revenge for the revelations that led to two Impeachment trials for Donald Trump and his current troubles with the congress and the law. Because these avengers of the Right are too stupid to keep their mouths shut until they get into a position to achieve their goals, we already know that rather than attempting to solve the serious problems that face those who elected them, they will waste their time trying to vacate Trump’s Impeachment trials and to attack those who saw fit to call a degenerate, a criminal.
Of course, without the Senate or the Presidentcy they have little chance of actually achieving anything, but they will be able to stop anyone else from achieving anything productive.
The big question is, will the voters who elected this bunch of losers learn anything from what they are sure to do to the House.
