Going back a day or three, to the selling of border wall steel (maybe more). I cannot wait to see who really authorized this scam.

To me it seems like an important question. Someone's name is on the order or email

I heard an analogy that goes something like this. A state or local community purchases 40 new police cruisers for its community, then a new person take over and auctions all of them for pennies on the dollar because he hates the police.

This is some cases could be some kind of crime like misappropriation of funds. I thought that was a good analogy for me understanding another dimension of how bad this actually is.

This is insane

It could be better phrased as, "Democrats continue to abuse the pardon power".

Just a thought… how much “contribution” is made for specific pardons?

Likely cheaper than a Hunter original oil painting.

This one chaps my ass:

I saw a documentary a few years ago about Rita Crundwell, she embezzled $53 MILLION DOLLARS from the city of Dixon, Illinois. She was caught and the Feds recovered her 2 houses/farms worth $10 Million and her 400 horses.

FJB just let her out of prison 8 years early.

Not exactly, she was released from prison in Aug 2021. Just the same, it stinks.

Crundwell was sentenced in 2013 to 19 years, and seven months in federal prison, and had to serve 85% of the sentence.

Crundwell had petitioned a federal judge for early release in April of 2020 due to her “deteriorating health condition” and pandemic but withdrew it in May after the Dixon City Council wrote a letter to the warden in Pekin strongly opposing her early release. The city of Dixon officially opposed it.

Nevertheless, Crundwell was released after just 8 and a half years, in August 2021. She’d been confined in a halfway house or under house arrest since President Biden commuted her sentence on Thursday.

Pedo Joe can't stand competition from petty amateurs, so he removed her from competition.

Call me cynical, but I’m guessing Joe was promised a chunk of the $43 million that wasn’t recovered…

Jill Biden announces that she is retiring from teaching.

She apparently continued "teaching" during her husband's time in the WH.

I figure she will have her hands full taking care of Joe.

Yeah… for about a year.

Recent news footage of Biden has him going down a very steep slope. Wonder what the Vegas odds on his longevity?

AFAIC, he just needs to last another 34 days, and then I don't give a shit what happens to him.

Yeah I as much as I dislike the current administration, I really don't want the backup person to have to be activated, even for 3 days.

Why am I not surprised...

Biden advisors used insecure pseudonymous email accounts to brief him on sensitive foreign policy

The email records, released by the National Archives after a Freedom of Information lawsuit, show that then-Vice President Biden regularly conducted foreign policy business on his pseudonymous email account, hidden from public scrutiny.

New email records released by the National Archives show then-Vice President Joe Biden was briefed about sensitive foreign policy matters by then-advisor Antony Blinken on his private email account, including details about a failed North Korean missile launch.

Joe Biden, now president, first faced scrutiny about potential private accounts after emails contained on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop showed the then-vice president in the Obama administration was using an email address with a pseudonym to communicate about business and official matters with his son, other family members, and senior staff.

One new email, part of several batches released by the National Archives pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shows that in the hours following a North Korean missile launch in April 2012, Blinken—who was then Biden’s national security advisor—sent a message to the vice president’s private email account "robinware456@gmail.com" with details about the sensitive national security matter...

Before I retired, I would have faced discipline-- up to and including removal-- for sending an unencrypted email containing a DEAD PERSON's Social Security Number. I was saved at the last minute by a co-worker literally shouting "DON'T DO IT!!!" as I told him why it'd be a minute before I could walk out for lunch. IT Security confirmed that it was a "no," and their "scanning" would have alerted on anything formatted like a SSN in the message text.

Another agent was actually disciplined-- suspended-- for forwarding an email attachment from his work iPhone (from which he couldn't print) to his personal email account (from which he could, at home) for printing. The attachment contained mildly personally-identifiable information (names, dates of birth) for two individuals and by whatever IT Secret Magic the computer folks did as part of their security monitoring they "hit" on the email to to a Gmail account. The attachment was deleted from his personal account immediately after printing. He was on administrative duty for more than a month, on administrative leave for a month more, then finally suspended (a week, mitigated down from a month). First discipline imposed on him, ever, in his government career. He spent the next year and a half to retirement on eggshells.

Both of the individuals were wanted fugitives whose DOBs were on publicly-posted circulars.

Rules are for the little people.

This seems like a reasonable use of clemency.....


Biden's clemency for doc in chemotherapy fraud scheme contrasts with longtime 'Cancer Moonshot' advocacy

Sharp as a tack! LMAO!

We ALL saw this but were told to STFU

I love how this all comes out once old Puppet Joe is no longer useful to them:

Shock report blows White House health cover-up wide open: Biden was senile from DAY ONE of his presidency, top Democrats finally admit

Those suggestion that others were calling the shots? Correct.

Today's WSJ article (non-paywalled link: WSJ: 12/19/24: "How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge")

quote:

To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused.
...
Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.
...
His staff took great care to prevent him from catching the virus by limiting in-person interactions with him. But the shell constructed for the pandemic was never fully taken down, and his advanced age hardened it.

The article is long, but well worth the time. That train-wreck of an administration cannot end too soon.
