Don Lemon has said a lot of stupid things to be sure. But the only difference between all of the big name leftist talking heads out there today is that Don actually got fired. Joy Reid, Whoopi and Behar, Dilbert morning Joe and the rest almost never pay a price for their stupid comments. And these people are considered to be the best and brightest pundits on the left!!😲

I heard a very good analogy from Jonathan Turley regarding this judge's decision. It's like a cop walking his beat, he sees the lights on in a bank, goes in and finds two thieves in the bank vault. The cop decides that he'll let one of the thieves go and the other one gets a warning, but they both will be allowed to keep everything they've stolen so far. This judge minimized all of the evidence that clearly indicated Willis and Wade lied on the stand.

So why is Biden apparently behind in the current polls if the economy is so wonderful? He has the mainstream media doing his messaging, not to mention big tech on his side. Seems like reality hits home when Americans buy groceries and fill up their cars. More of them are becoming aware of the disaster at the southern border. Perhaps they are tired of Biden sending billions of taxpayer dollars to the endless Russia/Ukraine war. I still feel that Biden wins easily on election day no matter what polls say. Trump will be ahead, but that lead will evaporate once the juggernaut of mail-in ballots arrive in the late hours of the evening.

Interesting that you bring up judicial ethics when this was about Fani and Nathan perjuring themselves. Fani benefitted financially from this case and her excuse that she always pays cash is laughable. Not to mention the fact that Wade had no experience with this type of a case. How are Fani and her boyfriend ethical?

Some people may beg to differ on this judge. I respect the opinion of Alan Dershowitz more than most other legal pundits. I point out that he is a classic liberal and no fan of Trump.

https://thefederalist.com/2024/03/12/j6-committees-suppressed-evidence-scandal-exonerates-trump-from-insurrection-narrative/ Nobody should be surprised by this, Remember how Democrats and their supporters were screaming when Republicans released more footage of Jan 6 that didn't fit the narrative? They never wanted the whole story or all available evidence. It's the same story with regards to Russia collusion, the FBI withheld exculpatory evidence.

No.

Don't worry, the left has a plan. It's called 'degrowth'.

Can you explain what happened to the billions in aid money that went to Haiti? What did it accomplish?

The right to defend one's home with firearms in Canada isn't the same as in the US. There was a case of a firearms instructor who woke up at night to discover his house was being firebombed. He fired a couple of warning shots in the air to scare them off, and the rest of the story is a nightmare. The homeowner was the one that was treated like a criminal and put through the ringer. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/man-acquitted-of-firing-warning-shots-at-group-who-firebombed-home-1.1102114

There are some billionaires who are actually pretty far left. Depending on where you stand, George Soros might be the best or worst example. So you agree with Bernie in that there should be no billionaires, but millionaires are perfectly fine? People like you want to just seize the wealth of the billionaires and...redistribute as you see fit? You should know full well how this would end. The billionaires are put out of existence, then you turn your attention to the millionaires and then seize all their wealth. But it wouldn't just end there would it?

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/10/politics/bernie-sanders-taxes-millionaire/ Then there is the broader problem of Sanders’ wealth as it relates to his core campaign message that “millionaires and billionaires” have cornered far too much wealth and power in this country – and need to be reined in by a more activist federal government. Now that Sanders is one of those “millionaires and billionaires,” it could complicate that message – and his appeal as the underfunded outsider taking on the monied interested in Washington. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/24/politics/bernie-sanders-ultra-wealth-tax-billionaires/index.html Unless you’ve lived on another planet for the last five years, you know that Bernie Sanders isn’t a big fan of the uber-wealthy. He’s been railing against the detrimental effects of millionaires and billionaires on the nation’s economy for years. But on Tuesday afternoon, Sanders took it even a step farther. In a tweet touting his newly unveiled plan to tax the ultra-wealthy, the Vermont senator wrote this: “There should be no billionaires.

There was a time in Bernie's life where he was passionate about taxing the billionaires and the millionaires more. Then when Bernie himself became a multimillionaire, he was only passionate about taxing the billionaires more.

No surprise that Bernie is more sympathetic to Hamas than Israelis. The Dems as a whole have moved pretty far left, and then there is the squad, who are even farther left. They are pretty influential within the party. They complain loudest that the party is not far enough left as they would like.

I think it's more important to discuss just how far left the Democrats have moved since Bill Clinton. Right now, they are firmly in Bernie Sanders territory. Joe did appoint Bernie as an economic advisor...a socialist as an economic advisor.

Didn't bother to watch it. Did Biden use "MAGA" a lot?

I can't blame them for doing this as it's a big easy payday for both of them. But I certainly wouldn't pay to watch it live.

I think the risk of deportation is pretty low relative to the overall amount of illegals, and even if someone is deported, they can waltz right back in because nothing is stopping them. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/us/cleveland-texas-neighbor-shooting-monday/index.html I'm not suggesting Biden is not deporting some, it's just that the process seems kind of futile given that the border down south is basically open. Like whack-a-mole.

Some illegal migrants do commit crimes so it stands to reason that the more illegals that the Biden administration lets in, the more crimes there will be.

So you don't make any distinction between legal and illegal immigration?

I know you'll laugh at what I say, but according to Dinesh D'Souza, the majority of those cases were dismissed on procedural grounds. No, Donald Trump is not an existential threat to Democracy. They are just all reading from the same script when they use that tired line.

The Democrats are still going to do anything they can to keep Trump off the ballot. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/democrats-announce-bill-to-kick-trump-off-the-ballot/ss-BB1jk2Z4#image=2 It doesn't matter to them how obvious it is that this is entirely politically motivated, they'll do it.

It's likely a lot of Democrat supporters voted for her as they have been doing throughout this process.

That's not what this is about. It's about which side is more willing to sit down and have dialogue, and most of the time, it's the right that is willing to sit down and talk.
