		<description>By the way, the polls today are not looking good for the Biden re-election campaign.

Dem supporters are saying that a lot can change and the polls can shift between now and election day.

That is for sure - they could get a lot worse!</description>

		<description>Since Republican lawmakers are fleeing the House at a record pace and the Castrated Caucus hasn&#039;t been able to give Hair Dick Tater the election year impeachment of Biden that Trump has long coveted, the MAGAts have therefore been relegated to a performance art trial of Biden-Mayorkas. If there is anyone with two brain cells to rub together that doesn&#039;t realize this show trial is obviously aimed at Joe Biden, then they haven&#039;t been paying attention.

&lt;i&gt;Call for a vote to dismiss the entire proceeding, hold that vote, and then get on with doing the actual business of the Senate. That would be the best course of action, and I sincerely hope Schumer and the rest of the Senate Democrats take it.&lt;/i&gt;

After which, the GOP will then accuse Democrats of not taking immigration issues seriously... in the &quot;same shit different day&quot; fashion the MAGAts already blame them on any day that ends in &quot;Y&quot;... so might as well &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; give them what they want and end it quickly, cut to the chase:  

Mayorkas was impeached over immigration policy issues and &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; &quot;high crimes and misdemeanors.&quot; Republicans demanded a change in immigration policies in exchange for aid to Ukraine, a bipartisan deal was negotiated in the Senate which President Biden agreed to sign, and then Donald Trump tanked the legislation because he wants to run his campaign around the border, white racial grievance, and racism... same shit different day.</description>

		<description>There is a way, though, that the Biden administration could shrug off and indeed successfully counter all of the Clinton and impeachment nonsense and other negative impacts on the president&#039;s re-election campaign and that is to get real with its backing of Israel&#039;s seige of Gaza.

The US-powered Israeli seige of Gaza has now killed over 32,000 Gazans - mostly women and children and far more than in the entire Russian invasion of Ukraine - with countless thousands more buried under the ruble or well into the process of starving to death.

Israeli citizens and other nationals, including Americans, are still being held by Hamas and are suffering war crimes in oppressive and inhumane conditions, some of whom have been killed by the bombing or directly and up close by IDF forces.

Finally, at long last, the US avoided vetoing another call for a ceasefire in Gaza by abstaining from the latest UN Security Council vote.

When will Biden start forcefully calling for Hamas to release all hostages and handover those responsible for the horrific 10/7 attacks (with or without any Hamas prisoner release - without, in my opinion ... why should Hamas prisoners in Israel be released ... if any need be released from Israeli prisons, why not release some Palestinians who have not been charged with  murder of Israeli citizens) and a permanent ceasefire and end to the humanitarian crisis.

Of course, he would also have to announce a plan for what comes after the ceasefire and this plan should revolve around the end of the Netanyahu regime or an end to lethal military aid to Israel.

		<description>This seems to be a lose-lose-lose situation, politically, for Dems.

Speaking of which, I hear that former president Clinton said that Democrats should not make the mistakes of 2016 this time around.

Say what!!!??? Now THAT is unintentionally hilarious.

Can the Clintons not just go the frak away!?</description>
