		<description>Naw, two impeachments or none, Cheetogod is singular because he came &lt;i&gt;this close&lt;/i&gt; to getting his VP lynched. That&#039;s dictator stuff and Mitch and the Establishment Repugs are going to whack him.</description>

So what if CW got press credentials once? Doesn&#039;t mean he&#039;s not primarily a blogger, a talking head, a pundit. He&#039;s not obligated to be anything that he doesn&#039;t want to be, credentials or not. Silly.</description>

&lt;i&gt;I predict that, decades hence, Trump&#039;s name will be buried in in the same section of the rankings with Fillmore, Hoover, and Pierce: clearly bad, but not noteworthy. &lt;/i&gt;

The only President of the United States to be impeached twice will always be &quot;noteworthy.&quot; There&#039;s a reason Benedict Arnold will always remain &quot;noteworthy,&quot; and that treasonous wannabe was simply a major general. 

What does a miserable, vomitous mass have to do in this country to get recognized? &lt;--- Rhetorical question.</description>

&lt;i&gt;No. I will not stop. &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, you will stop... the only question is how and when that is going to happen.

&lt;i&gt;It is my opinion and I will continue to post it. &lt;/i&gt;

It is grifting and trolling. If you&#039;re going to do it, we are definitely going to provide our opinions in response to your grifting and trolling. 

&lt;i&gt;That is the purpose of a comments section. &lt;/i&gt;

Liar. Grifting and trolling with your own personal bullshit crusade is not the purpose of a comments section. It is damn sure not the purpose of this comments section, and we all know this because you&#039;ve been notified regarding same and we can read and comprehend the written word... something you have repeatedly demonstrated you have trouble doing. 

&lt;i&gt;Bloggers are not journalists? &lt;/i&gt;

Your point is moot. 

&lt;i&gt;How did CW gets press credentials for the convention in 2016? &lt;/i&gt;

Not your concern and none of your business. 

&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s okay for me to have free reign- as long as I use it to shut up. That&#039;s helpful advice. &lt;/i&gt;

Moot point. You have &quot;free reign&quot; on your own platform, and even then it is illegal to disseminate voter disinformation. 

&lt;i&gt;I do believe CW has an obligation to provide information he is aware of to those that read his blogs.&lt;/i&gt;

Then you believe in a lie. I blame your life choices as clearly listed in your bio.  

&lt;i&gt;That is what a journalist does and what he claims to do. &lt;/i&gt;

Liar. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Public Service Announcement:

Your First Amendment &quot;right to free speech&quot; applies to the United States government. It doesn&#039;t mean that anyone else is forced to listen to your bullshit or host your bullshit on their personal platform. The First Amendment also does not shield you from either the criticism of others or the consequences of your prattling on and on with your bullshit. If you are yelled at, boycotted, deleted, or get banned from an Internet community, your right to free speech isn&#039;t being violated. It&#039;s just that the people listening think you&#039;re an inveterate asshole, and they&#039;re showing your ass where the door is located. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
*
&lt;i&gt;I have not convinced CW about One Demand because he refuses to discuss it. &lt;/i&gt;

Liar. He&#039;s discussed it multiple times. 

&lt;i&gt;And having the blog makes him a public figure so it is perfectly alright for me to continue to pressure him until I get an answer. &lt;/i&gt;

Liar. Having a blog does not make a person a public figure and give you permission to troll their platform. He&#039;s given you multiple answers, and lying about it doesn&#039;t change those facts. 

&lt;i&gt;CW has said it is alright to do that to other public figures so it should alright to do to him. &lt;/i&gt;

Liar. Liar. Liar. Also: Ignorant prattling. :)</description>

You are a lying liar who invents bullshit and judges everyone according to your own fantastical fabricated bullspew. 

&lt;i&gt;Once again- if we wait until Biden let&#039;s us down it will be too late to do anything about it in 2024. &lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s never too late to stop inventing your bullshit and lying, and it&#039;s never too late to get an education. Well, I don&#039;t want to be accused of lying... so I will say it appears too late for you. 

&lt;i&gt;Right after everyone else here approaches One Demand with an open mind. &lt;/i&gt;

You can shove One Demand up your ass. If you need directions: Your ass is that thing where your head resides... metaphorically speaking, of course. :)</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
There is truth and there are lies — lies told for power and for profit — and each of us has a duty and a responsibility as citizens, as Americans and especially as leaders — leaders who have pledged to honor our constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and defeat the lies.

President Biden &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;b&gt;So to recap:&lt;/b&gt; Lying liars must be exposed.</description>

		<description>I still think Buchanan was the worst president, and Jackson was the worst human being among the US presidents.  What did Harding do to compete with putting his thumb on the scales of SCOTUS, in favor of the worst decision in US judicial history?

I predict that, decades hence, Trump&#039;s name will be buried in in the same section of the rankings with Fillmore, Hoover, and Pierce: clearly bad, but not noteworthy.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Let us not forget the importance of context when we use quotes. &lt;/i&gt;

^^^^^ This right here. ^^^^^

&lt;i&gt;See how context makes all the difference? &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, ma&#039;am... and how lying liars who repeatedly bear false witness are part of the problem and not the solution. 

&lt;i&gt;Biden&#039;s message doesn&#039;t change with the audience he is speaking to. &lt;/i&gt;

Unless it&#039;s Major... and/or Champ:

		<description>Let us not forget the importance of context when we use quotes.

Biden told his audience that day that nothing would fundamentally change for them when they start paying their fair share.

See how context makes all the difference?

Biden&#039;s message doesn&#039;t change with the audience he is speaking to.</description>

So what if he said this and whatever to get past the Big money people? It doesn&#039;t matter. 





Let&#039;s see what he does, good or bad. With something approaching an open mind, hello?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The party has gone left since 2016? At best the party has moved from hard right of center to maybe a little softer hard right.&lt;/i&gt;







True of the Democratic Party as a whole since Reaganism® began. But Bernie&#039;s insurgencies in &#039;16 and &#039;20 mirror where America has come.
&lt;b&gt;Not just Democrats but majorities of all Americans&lt;/b&gt; approve of $15, taxing the wealthy more, letting same-sex couples etc. pursue their happiness, legalizing weed, dealing with climate change, something approaching MediCal for All who Want It and keeping the government out of women&#039;s uteruses, among other things.






So are you saying you don&#039;t think that the Party will deal with any of that? Not doing enough in 2 years killed the Democrats under Obama. But because Democrats take big money they&#039;ll rince and repeat that foolishness?</description>

		<description>Biden has inherited enormous disasters from the orange arsonist, but this is what Chuck Todd had to say yesterday.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Biden&#039;s first crucial task is to vaccinate America, to fulfill that &lt;i&gt;promise&lt;/i&gt; to get 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days. The ultimate success or failure of his presidency may hinge simply on that one &lt;i&gt;promise&lt;/i&gt; and it might be his only way to immediately begin cauterizing American&#039;s social, economic and political wounds.

Let&#039;s put it this way. If Biden wants to succeed, he has to fulfill that first vaccination &lt;i&gt;promise&lt;/i&gt;. If Biden doesn&#039;t get it right, he will have failed on the job he was elected to do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My first question is: Why does gasbag Todd still have a job? I don&#039;t know anybody who voted for Biden because they expected him to meet a goal that could not have been set before election day.

My next question is: Did Biden &lt;i&gt;promise&lt;/i&gt; that or did he and his team set that as an ambitious goal? 

I don&#039;t really the answer to either question.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s entertaining to watch Fox Noise this morning. First they demonstrate their commitment to lies by calling Osama bin Orange &lt;i&gt;gracious&lt;/i&gt; rather than graceless. Then they immediately undermine their lie by going to Dan Quayle who says that it&#039;s important for someone in his position (one term VP?) to show up at the inauguration and witness the peaceful transfer of power.</description>

I&#039;ve read it looking for accomplishments and found nothing to your credit. 

&lt;i&gt;Do you think that not every citizen can have an idea that could improve our political process? &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, I do believe that not every citizen could have an idea that could improve our political process.

&lt;i&gt;Ideas should only come from some approved sources?&lt;/i&gt;

Idiotic... yet does remind me of your bullshit wherein you disapprove of anyone who doesn&#039;t meet with your own fantastical definitions. 

&lt;i&gt;I am not blaming you and JFC for One Demand not being successful yet. Just for attacking me and trolling this board. &lt;/i&gt;

We are not concerned with your opinion of us, but if you&#039;re going to troll the author of this forum with your personal attacks of him, then suck it up buttercup and learn to take it right back at you. We are entitled to our opinions of your repetitive bullshit. If you don&#039;t like it, then make like Teller and remain silent. 

&lt;i&gt;Grow up. &lt;/i&gt;

Shut up. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;I never said they were the same. &lt;/i&gt;

Never? Bullshit. You&#039;ve claimed they are the same on multiple occasions. 

&lt;i&gt;Partners are not the same. &lt;/i&gt;

Bullshit. Some partners are the same. 

&lt;i&gt;Cheech and Chong are partners. &lt;/i&gt;

Both male, both potheads, both comedians... same same same.

&lt;i&gt;Abbott and Costello are partners.&lt;/i&gt; 

Both male, both comedians, both dead... same same same.

&lt;i&gt;Penn and Teller are partners &lt;/i&gt;

Both male, both comedians... same same. Why don&#039;t you pretend you&#039;re Teller and zip it?

&lt;i&gt;Pretty sure my comments would be the least bullpoo-poo (for all you children that can&#039;t handle adult language from me but don&#039;t complain when anyone else uses it) out of all of them. &lt;/i&gt;

Bullshit. Your comments contain the most bullshit and the most repetitive Trumpian whining about how you&#039;ve been done wrong and the most advertisements for your personal political purity bullshit and the ever-present endless grifting. 

&lt;i&gt;Yes. Let&#039;s use his words. 

&quot;NOTHING WILL FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE.&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Use them in context. Biden was explaining to the rich donors that nothing would fundamentally change in their lives when he raised their taxes. Everyone else here knows this... so much so that every time you use that quote out of context, you simply remind everyone how simple your mind is. We have your bio for that too.

Please take the advertisements for your failed purity test and shove them as high up your backside as your head is located... same same. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Once again you attack me in a feeble attmept to discredit my arguments by trying to discredit me. You once again have failed at both. &lt;/i&gt;

Incorrect. One can only be discredited if one has the &quot;credits&quot; to &quot;dis,&quot; and you&#039;ve got nothing. Blaming JFC or me for your lengthy list of having accomplished nothing is comical as well as a fool&#039;s errand:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I have none of the credentials normally listed in a bio. No degrees, no years of running a successful business and no experience in political campaigns or activism. I am simply an average person that has been working and living at survival mode. But I have the only credentials that I believe really matters. I am a citizen and I have an idea that may improve our political system. 

~ Don Harris &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;You are the ones that look foolish as all you do is make stuff up that you can argue against, deflect or attack me instead of addressing the points I make with rational argument. &lt;/i&gt;

Incorrect. Neither JFC nor I made up your bio nor caused you to become the colossal underachiever you&#039;ve already confessed that you are. 

&lt;i&gt;The defnition of being trolls. &lt;/i&gt;

Sentence fragment containing meaningless prattling and incorrect spelling. Also: JFC and I are not concerned with your opinion of us since you are self-admittedly &quot;average&quot; and have no experience, no success, and no education. Also: We think it&#039;s not fair to average people to refer to yourself as &quot;average&quot; since you make them look like Einsteins. 

&lt;i&gt;And not fooling anyone except maybe yourselves.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>I&#039;m a little disappointed this morning. I was really hoping that the series finale of Housewives of Coronavirus would include Osama bin Orange forcing the Secret Service to drag him out of there in a straitjacket.

Maybe they&#039;ll throw him out of Air Force One into some shark infested water near Miami.</description>

		<description>The Senate is adjourned until 4:30 today when three incoming Democratic senators will be sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris:

Jon Ossoff (GA)
Rev. Raphael Warnock (GA)
Alex Padilla (CA)

Upon taking their oaths, Warnock will become the first black senator from GA, Ossoff will become the first Jewish senator from GA, and Padilla will become the first Latino senator from CA. Additionally, at 33 years of age, Ossoff will become the youngest Democratic senator to serve since Joe Biden in 1973 at the minimum age of 30. 

Upon the swearing in of the three Democratic senators, Chuck Schumer will simultaneously become the first New Yorker and first Jewish lawmaker to become Majority Leader of the Senate. 

And the rest is history. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Looks like somebody is Deathly afraid that things are going to improve and trolling his unfounded assertions and conspiracy theories is going to look even more foolish than ever. &lt;/i&gt;

Do you think it&#039;s even possible for him to look more foolish? He seems solidly on &quot;rock bottom&quot; to me... having already worn out a bulldozer to excavate his way down.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Could Trump fearing Repug Senators abstain rather than voting either way? &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir. They could just not show up for the vote, and the 2/3 of the voting Senators could make the decision for the entire nation. It&#039;s less democratic and more cowardly and would fit today&#039;s GOP to a &quot;T&quot;... heh. :)

&lt;i&gt;If I know Mitch McConnell he wants to be rid of Trump with the lowest possible collateral damage to the GOP.&lt;/i&gt;

Trump is threatening to start his own &quot;Patriot Party&quot; and seems determined to tear apart the so-called GOP. They deserve it for enabling the lying, gaslighting, and Trumpism.</description>

&lt;i&gt;A sane, rational adult with empathy, intelligence and compassion who believes in the concept of being a public servant is going to be in the oval office tomorrow? &lt;/i&gt;

You likely wouldn&#039;t need any of this explained to you if you resembled any of the adjectives in the aforementioned description. 

&lt;i&gt;I thought it was going to be Joe King Kong Capitalist Biden. &lt;/i&gt;

Your bio explains your admitted confusion and penchant for fantasy. 

&lt;i&gt;You don&#039;t have to worry about short changing Biden&#039;s transition team. As the &quot;new&quot; administration is made up of the usual corporate hack suspects it is plenty short on change all on it&#039;s own. &lt;/i&gt;

You sound exactly like your bio describes you so you needn&#039;t ever be concerned about seeming the tiniest bit knowledgeable... not even a scintilla. 

&lt;i&gt;Looks Like Biden will do better than Trump in keeping some campaign promises- like the one about nothing fundamentally changing. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;ve proven without doubt that you know your limitations and are quite content to prattle on and on like a repetitive know-nothing about the same fundamentally never-changing few sentences. 

Joe Biden will soon become President of the United States; meanwhile, you&#039;re still that self-described average guy that whines repetitively and never fundamentally accomplishes a thing. 

&lt;b&gt;So to recap:&lt;/b&gt; Joe Biden will soon be the POTUS and running the country... and you&#039;ll still be the self-described Average Joe running nothing but his mouth. :)</description>

		<description>It really comes down to Joe&#039;s political chops. He was there for eight years of GOP obstructionism under Obama so I doubt he&#039;ll make that same mistake.

We&#039;ll see, Brother Don. 






As a Bernie Bro I don&#039;t have the highest of expectations for Joe Biden. But 1- reality based competence and 2-not being Donald Trump checks a couple of critical boxes. Needless deaths averted makes a real life difference and saying there&#039;s no difference between the two candidates is simply going to lose the reader, right on the spot. Counterproductive!





One thing about Joe is he has usually sniffed the breeze and gone where the party goes. And the party has definitely gone left since 2016. All he has to do is go with the flow. 





Let&#039;s listen to Joe&#039;s words and judge the man&#039;s deeds, in real time. Like real citizens. As opposed to flunking him for failing your purity test.</description>

		<description>Short Fingers has apparently pardoned Bannon, so news reports that told us he wouldn&#039;t were wrong. We should expect him to pardon himself and his spawn despite what his underlings have been telling the press.</description>

McConnell doesn&#039;t need to make that deal. Manchin has already granted that wish.</description>

		<description>McConnell said that the orange one &lt;i&gt;provoked&lt;/i&gt; the mob. Does provoked = incited? He said that other important people also provoked them. Does that mean that he won&#039;t convict because maybe it&#039;s really their fault? He&#039;s treacherous and we shouldn&#039;t get too invested in him just yet.</description>

		<description>From what I read, some historians would say that you&#039;re being unfair to Harding by ranking him at the bottom. A number of them assign that honor to James Buchanan, and there are interesting parallels between Trump and Buchanan. One saw a pandemic sweep over the nation and did nothing; the other saw a civil war brewing and did nothing. Both allowed American military installations to be abandoned to enemy forces, one in Syria to the Russians, the other in the seceding states to the Confederacy. Both could have saved thousands of American lives by more decisive action.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;(an excellent measure of his pettiness is that he&#039;s doing so before noon, so that the plane will still be identified as &quot;Air Force One&quot; -- a designation only used when the current president is on the plane -- and also so he won&#039;t have to ask Joe Biden for the favor of using the plane one last time)&lt;/i&gt;

Speaking of pettiness, I would suggest the timing is also related to the fact that he did not send a plane to fly Joe from Delaware to DC, despite the fact it was requested and is customary.</description>

McConnell is not in a position of strength at the moment. You can&#039;t blame him for trying to get the best deal he can, it&#039;s the clever move. Hoping Joe gets fixated on negotiate against yourself &quot;bipartisanship&quot; as did Obama.</description>

		<description>Did I just see a news blob that suggested McConnell wants to trade a Republican conviction of Trump for a Democratic commitment to maintain the filibuster, effectively gutting Biden&#039;s non-budgetary legislative agenda for the next two years?</description>

		<description>I expect Nancy will time the transmission of the Article to the Senate most precisely.






The Senate must Convict and Remove to proceed to the lifetime ban, via simple majority. 





This Impeachment will be quite the sorting event for Repugs.</description>

		<description>For example, if half the 50 Repugs abstain it&#039;d be 50-25 which is 2/3rds, even if all 25 Repugs are pro-Trump. 



This is also a chance for individual GOP Senators to reclaim some dignity/the soul of the Party/blah blah blah &lt;i&gt;and take a stand by voting against Trump.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Okay, the Senate needs 2/3rds to Convict and Remove. Could Trump fearing Repug Senators abstain rather than voting either way? If I know Mitch McConnell he wants to be rid of Trump with the lowest possible collateral damage to the GOP. And I think whatever the Establishment/Gamers Repugs do it will be in unison. Hawley and Cruz/Breakers are all-in on Trump and there will be other die hards, but could the Death to Donald Repugs abstain en masse, leaving the Dems to swamp the Trumpers who do vote?</description>

		<description>Ken Burns ... &quot;I feel like tonight is New Year&#039;s Eve. I think we just got the dates wrong. I think we&#039;ve got a new possibility of turning a new leaf. There&#039;s a real optimism there.&quot;

My feeling, exactly!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;We are battered, bruised, bloodied, and beset by a pandemic, but we made it through somehow. Except for the 400,000 (and counting) who didn&#039;t, who died needlessly because the president of the United States took it as a personal affront that anyone would listen to scientific and medical experts over his own boneheaded and uninformed opinions. How in the world did &quot;wearing a face mask&quot; become a political statement? Donald Trump, that&#039;s how.&lt;/i&gt;

My biggest hope for Biden&#039;s first 100 days is that he will be able to slow down that count and save countless lives, literally!</description>
