"Nobody that has true enthusiasm and belief in a subject will ever fall asleep!"

When Biden appeared to fall asleep at an overseas climate change conference in 2021, Trump offered this:

New York Times: “Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack.”

Talk about "Election Interference"---"The case is about Trump lying his way into office,"

@NewYorker
“The Stormy Daniels hush-money case” might have seemed like small potatoes. In fact, the prosecutors argue that it has to do with election interference. “The case is about Trump lying his way into office,” @ericlach
writes.

A soft, weak, insecure crybaby and snowflake.

He has completely ignored the gag order as if it didn’t exist, posting article after article attacking the judge’s daughter and posts attacking key witnesses. But he has to always be the whiny victim because that’s who he is. A soft, weak, insecure crybaby and snowflake.

Thoughts on a Pretty Good NYT Poll-The latest New York Times/ Siena poll shows BIDEN campaign has some momentu

DAN PFEIFFER
APR 14, 2024

Yes, it’s finally here and it confirms what all the other polls have been showing for the last month. Acknowledging that the NY Times Sienna poll is considered the gold standard among the cognoscenti, Dan Pfeiffer does a nice analysis of what it says about this moment in time:

The Democratic coalition is heading home. As the New York Times’ Shane Goldmacher wrote in his analysis of the poll:

Mr. Biden’s tick upward appears to stem largely from his improved standing among traditional Democratic voters — he is winning a greater share of voters who supported him in 2020 than he did a month ago. Then, Mr. Trump had secured the support of far more of his past voters compared with the president — 97 percent to 83 percent — but that margin has narrowed. Mr. Biden is now winning 89 percent of his 2020 supporters compared with 94 percent for Mr. Trump.

Speaker Mike Johnson is upset Congress won't pass the foreign military aid Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking.

Speaker Mike Johnson is upset Congress won't pass the foreign military aid Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking. The Senate passed it 70-29, and a House majority supports it, but Speaker Mike Johnson won't allow a vote.
Speaker Mike Johnson, take your concern to Speaker Mike Johnson.
