Ms Ocasio-Cortez missing Max Rose already

It’s also personal personally very difficult because to lose these people, you know, many of them are my colleagues, and I’m proud to call many of them my friends, and the idea that they may not be returning next term, or that they aren’t returning next term, is extremely difficult on both just a personal and a policy and a political level," Ocasio-Cortez continued, according to Fox.


C'mon. lass - work across the aisle.

Proud Boy didn't toss a mat of firecrackers at a Trump group having dinner - nor did they sucker punch a pedestrian and repeatedly kick him in the head.

 

They were too busy stabbing people.

My hope is that those with weapons are arrested.

I guess these guys and their cohorts are all just stupid, like afflicted Americans and their pals.

The World Health Organization has recorded 65 cases of the coronavirus among staff based at its headquarters, including at least one cluster of infections, an internal email obtained by The Associated Press shows, despite the agency's public assertions that there has been no transmission at the Geneva site.

Joe Biden's cancer charity spent more than $3 million on salaries and zero on cancer research and grants during a two-year period, according to tax filings.

Documents also show the Biden Cancer Initiative, founded by Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden and wife, Jill, after Joe's oldest son, Beau, died in 2015 from brain cancer, spent nearly $1 million on travel and conference expenses during that time.

The charity took in $4.8 million in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018 and spent $3 million on payroll in those two years.

Gregory Simon, president of the Biden Cancer Initiative and former Pfizer executive, reportedly received $429,850 during the 2018 fiscal year, nearly double what he made in 2017.

Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama's Cancer Moonshot Task Force, was paid $258,207 in 2018.

The initiative, suspended in 2019 as Biden became further involved in the 2020 presidential election, was initially touted as an organization that would "develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care, and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes

2018:
Total Revenue
$3,934,830
Total Functional Expenses   $1,795,163
Net income   $2,139,667

Notable expenses   Percent of total expenses
Executive compensation   $435,981   24.3%
Professional fundraising fees   $0   
Other salaries and wages   $810,397   45.1%

Remind me how much attention you paid to the Trump Foundation?

Has anybody from the Biden Foundation been accused of mishandling the money? Of buying a portrait of Biden which he then hung in his office at the golf course? Of donating money to an attorney general/candidate, who then changed a ruling in his favor?!

No?! Huh.

Amish PAC raised $57,803 in the 2018 cycle and $181,762 in the 2020 election cycle. Of the funds raised for 2020, most came in small sums, but three donors accounted for about one-third of the total.

Frank "Scotty" Moran, who runs Moran Oil, gave more than $46,000 to the 2020 cycle. Reclusive Aspen billionaire Tatnall Hillman has contributed a total of $15,000. Christopher Carlino, who identifies himself in his filing as an "investor" and appears to be a partner in a Philadelphia construction firm, gave the group $10,000 on Sept. 11, 2020. Carlino does not appear to have made any political donations prior to June 2020, when he began giving to Trump, according to federal filings.

Though they are all Republican donors, internet searches conducted by Salon did not turn up connections between the three men and the Amish community.

(Weight loss industry mogul Jenny Craig also contributed $3,000, filings show.)

Carlino, Hillman, Moran, and Craig---not really the kind of surnames we associate with the Amish in PA.

Seriously,
Is there any way...voter fraud (organised or not), mail fraud, electoral office fraud state or federal...any possible way, under the current system, that Trump won the election by millions of votes or any number of votes?
Rudy was shown on my tv tonite saying it is true.
Also another official looking woman on my tv tonite was saying it.

No.  Isn't it obvious Trump is saying whatever it takes to save face?  He alleged fraud months before the actual election so of course now he wants there to be evidence to back up his claims.  There is no evidence.

He said in 2016 that the election that year would be fraudulent (because like this year he did not think he could win) and there was no evidence of it then either.

He is a sore loser.  How is this not obvious?

It looks obvious, but over the decades of my long and mostly happy life I've learnt that what seems to be is not always what is.
If something is at all possible, sometimes it is what happens.
Hence my question.

Every member of the Senate GOP caucus declined invitations to appear on "Meet the Press" this Sunday, according to the show's host Chuck Todd.

“We invited every single Republican senator to appear on Meet the Press this morning. They all declined," said Todd on Sunday's show.

You'd be slightly more effective sans mouth, Fac.

Just some advice for your dealings in other locales.

Does that mean I’m no longer invited to your next cross burning & human centipede ritual?

That’s a shame.

I hear there’s no place in New Jersey for meeting gay subs who love being pelted with excrement.

Should the horrible scenario you envision come to pass, the non-quarantined members of the secret service will chuck trump down several flights of stairs before they start kicking him.

We are a nation of liberty after all. 

Also it’s the only way he has left for us to truly respect his authority.

Worse than the entire GOP being gutless is your lame attempt to defend their cowardice.
