The chutzpah: Democrats literally pushed Biden out of office three months before the election and they want him to take the blame for losing to Trump

 After covering for the guy from the beginning for his 2020 campaign conducted from a basement.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

 Democrats want Biden to take responsibility for loss to Trump 

... “He needs to stop talking about what could have happened and what should have happened and how the party betrayed him and start talking about how he ultimately betrayed the party,” said one Democratic strategist. “The reason we find ourselves in this position is because he was too stubborn to step aside.” ...

Hello Washington Times, hello, how did Biden's increased oil supply from the SPR to buy the 2022 elections lead to increased gasoline price at the very same time?

 I'm so confused.

Doesn't price drop on an increase in supply?

"Let's increase supply so prices rise so the voters vote for us and not them" makes absolutely zero sense.

... Mr. Biden sold off hundreds of millions of barrels of oil after Russia invaded Ukraine, causing already rising gas prices to spike even higher. ... 

The Biden administration sold off roughly 206 million barrels of oil from the SPR between 2021 and 2023. ...

Democrats fended off an anticipated red wave in the November 2022 midterms, keeping control of the Senate and barely losing House seats, although Mr. Biden’s party remained in the minority in the lower chamber. ...

Words have a meaning, and a Biden invitation to come was not an invasion

I don't care how wrong Biden was, and neither should the courts.

The Supremes have already ruled the illegals have habeas rights, and this would be a desperate attempt to get around that.

Are they daring the Supremes to rule against them yet again?

 

Trump administration ‘looking at’ suspending habeas corpus, Stephen Miller says

 

... Miller’s use of the word “invasion” reflects the Trump administration’s argument that the U.S. faces an “invasion” of undocumented migrants. ...

They're calling the 10Y at 4.5% the moron premium because everyone hates Trump and his tariffs, but I don't remember it being called the 5% dotard premium under Joe Biden

People need to get a grip.

Blaming hapless Liz Truss' two-months as PM in September and October 2022 for the UK's high interest rates pretends that the Bank of England didn't raise interest rates in response to inflation same as the US Federal Reserve Bank.

This trashy headline belongs in The Daily Star, not the UK Telegraph. No wonder they're trying to sell you a 1-year subscription for only 29 pounds.

 

 

Loyalty to Trump goooooooooood, loyalty to Biden baaaaaaaaaaad

Baa, ram, ewe!
 

Scary How Institutional Washington Protected Biden

Emily Jashinsky, RCP/SiriusXM

The economy under Biden was a catastrophe now requiring draconian tariffs, just like we're being invaded by Venezuelan gangs everywhere requiring extraordinary measures which violate due process of law

Everything is either awesome or awful, Republican or Democrat, white or black in our hysterical country.

The economy went from being enviable by others in the world in October to a catastrophe just like that in January.

And now it really might become a catastrophe but you'll hear only that it's AWESOME.

Can wage and price controls be far behind?

 

 

Ron Klain says Biden's brain was applesauce, but still believed Biden should have stayed in the race after the bad debate with Trump

 Well, that doesn't make any sense.

From the story here:

... Even after the disastrous debate, by his own telling to Whipple, Klain believed Biden should have stayed in the race – a statement that jars with Klain’s account of debate prep at Camp David. ...

 

Some of what Dark Brandon said in 2022 is what some Democrats still want their leader to say today in 2025

 

... Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic. ... there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country. ... MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. ... They promote authoritarian leaders. ... They thrive on chaos. ... American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me. ...

 

-- Joe Biden, 1 September 2022, Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA

 

 

The voters' response to this in 2022 was to flip the Democrats' House 222 majority to a 222 Republican one.

 

In 2024, the Republican lead narrowed to 220-215. Special elections in Florida this week will either ratify that lead or narrow it some more.

 

 

 

All I can think of when I read about Democrats wanting a more angry, a more centrist candidate, a more combative leader who meets the moment, is that they had all that in Joe Biden and they dumped him

The outright treason against their own president is the Democrats' real problem with their own voters, who lost faith in them and voted for Trump instead.

 

 

Democrats have never been so angry. Who will step up and lead them?

Democrats are furious. And they want their leaders to get mad, too.

“I wish you’d be angry,” a constituent told representative Gil Cisneros, a Democrat of California, at a recent town hall. At an event in Minnesota featuring a panel of Democratic attorneys general, an activist voiced a similar sentiment: “Get angry, man,” punctuating the message with a profanity.

The anger roiling the party, slow to build, is now a forceful current coursing through the electorate and pulling in Americans terrified that the country is descending into authoritarianism. Democrats – with no leader to guide them and little power to wield in Washington – are scrambling to harness the sudden fury. ...

 

Of course, we all know that that Joe Biden, especially the centrist Joe Biden, didn't really have control of his own White House, covering up which until it couldn't be covered up anymore just shows that the incumbent wasn't really trustworthy either.

 

This is brutal: A list of Senate Democrats who were all for last week's failed filibuster after they were against it

 In the first column are 30 Democrats who infamously voted to abolish the filibuster late in the evening on Jan 19, 2022, which failed 48-52 because of Sinema and Manchin, but happily tried to mount one last week.

The roll call vote in the US Senate is here (the Wikipedia entry is wrong on this, citing a CBS story and dating the vote to Jan 20).

In column two are 7 Democrats who campaigned to abolish the filibuster but who also happily tried to mount one last week.

The 2017 letter to Mitch McConnell in the last column references the names of 19 Democrats who then said they were for the filibuster, but last week 5 of them weren't lol.

The irony of all this of course is that Joe Biden's spending for fiscal 2025 was just passed with little modification by Republicans with the help of 10 Democrats (1 Independent) and the Democrats are beating themselves up over it.

But it's kind of hard to crow about Joe Biden's success after you just forced him out of power.

Hey look! Root causes are back in the news again after a brief hiatus

House Freedom Caucus caves completely to King Ludwig and Prince Elon, House votes 217-213-2 to continue spending at Biden levels through the end of fiscal year 2025

 

Two seats remain vacant due to Trump appointments and one is newly vacant due to sudden death. 

Republican Massie voted Nay and Democrat Golden of Maine voted Yea. Republican Moore of North Carolina and Democrat Grijalva did not vote. 

The bill moves to the Senate.

The Republican controlled House dares Senate Democrats to vote Nay and has gone on vacation until March 24th.

The government will close down on Friday at midnight if the Senate fails to pass the measure.

60 votes are needed in the Senate where the Republicans are in the majority with 53 seats.

Meanwhile Trump's Social Security today also boasts of spending $7.5 billion authorized by Congress and Joe Biden for people who didn't pay taxes, just one day after DOGE saves $800 million lol

 

 Social Security Pays Billions of Dollars in Retroactive Payments

The Social Security Administration (SSA) today shared its significant progress to quickly implement the Social Security Fairness Act. Through March 4, 2025, SSA has already paid 1,127,723 people more than $7.5 billion in retroactive payments. The retroactive payments are the result of the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). The average retroactive payment so far is $6,710.

“President Trump made it very clear he wanted the Social Security Fairness Act to be implemented as quickly as possible,” said Lee Dudek, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. “We met that challenge head on and are proudly delivering for the American people.”

The WEP and GPO provisions reduced or eliminated the Social Security benefits for over 3.2 million people who receive a pension based on work that was not covered by Social Security (a "non-covered pension") because they did not pay Social Security taxes.

The agency continues to pay remaining retroactive payments and is ready to begin paying higher monthly benefit payments beginning in April for people’s March benefit.

Phony baloney Trump, but I repeat myself, takes credit for Ukraine's success provided under Joe Biden

 

“Ukraine, I will say they’re very brave, and they’re good soldiers, but without the United States and its money and its military equipment, this war would have been over in a very short time,” Trump added on Tuesday. ... Zelenskyy had also noted that any assistance Ukraine was still receiving was a legacy of the previous U.S. administration under Joe Biden . . ..
