Drumpf is innocent until proven guilty.

And likewise Biden is guilty until his son is proven innocent.

what *might* come out of Bedminster.

Bedminster was purportedly where classified docs (including a "Pentagon plan" ) were "waved around" to a couple of individuals involved in the writing & publishing a book Mark Meadows biography, and the audio of that was recorded.

That incident was included in the FL indictment but it would be interesting to see if there was other similar incidents and evidence that might prompt using the U.S. District of New Jersey for jurisdiction later.

11. Abcnews headline "Biden to visit Maui wildfire aftermath amid criticism..."

So annoying how the media has to twist headlines to get clicks, to create drama and conflict.

"Amid criticism"?? And where is that criticism coming from? The right-wing, which criticizes Biden for everything he does.

President Biden reacted immediately to the Maui wildfire tragedy with FEMA funds, the Head of FEMA sent to Maui, etc, etc, etc. Why would President Biden fly out while rescue workers, first responders, and other local resources need to be laser-focused on fighting the fire, rescuing those affected, etc?

I've worked in IT for over 20+ years. When we have a system down the WORST thing that can happen is a bazillion managers getting involved while the technical people are in the midst of troubleshooting. The best scenario is when one manager is assigned as the point person and he/she makes sure those working the issue have the resources they need, escalates if needed, and communicates with upper management so those working the issue can focus on troubleshooting and not the care and feeding of management. That is what President Biden is doing, making sure those working the problem have the resources they need and staying the h*ll out of their way.

The headlines might as well be "Biden eats breakfast amid criticism", "Biden goes to bed amid criticism", "Biden wakes up amid criticism"

Hawaii is definitely getting our President, not the Thug à l’Orange!

President Biden won’t hurl rolls of paper at folks.
He will provide real assistance, encouragement, and honest caring for the people of Hawaii.
God bless him.
