Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.
In an interview with MSNBCās āInside with Jen Psaki,ā Pelosi said Putin is the ārichest person in the worldā and has āstiff competitionā to being named the most evil person in the world.
Pelosi asked āwhat does he have on Donald Trump that heād have to constantly be catering to Putin?ā
Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the allianceās defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.
Except that ābaby murdererā is what cause Republicans to do so badly a couple of years ago. Abortion has been a big loss for them.
Republicans still hold a majority of state governorsā mansions and a plurality of legislatures.
Democrats wish they could perform as badly.
Whenās that red wave going to happen?
Laughing up my sleeve in '94, '02, '10, and '16, asking the same thing. Can Donald Trump defeat an unpopular incumbent party in the wake of a mediocre economic recovery while everyone is fixated on Black Crime, Illegal Immigration, and Evil China? Who can say?
But the Senate map alone promises Republicans three viable pickups in Trump-friendly Arizona, Montana, and Ohio, while the Democratsā best shot is still Texas.
Mediocre? Biden inherited an actual trainwreck. In terms of purely technocratic policy, the recovery will be talked about for decades as a textbook template for both crisis management and economic planning. Nothing like that has ever happened in the modern era.
Its funny you should use the term trainwreck, given one of Bidenās early acts as President was to sign a bill authored by Democrat lawmakers to forbid the US Railway Workers from striking. Consequently, weāve had a wave of train derailments and rail infrastructure failures.
The '08 Recession was far worse. And a great deal of the modern trainwreck stems from failures under the Obama administration to stabilize the housing market, rein in catastrophic speculative bubbles in the finance sector, and PASS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.
All objectives Biden fumbled (or deliberately undermined) as VP back when Democrats enjoyed a 60 vote Senate majority. Is there any surprise that heās once again unable or unwilling to address corporate mismanagement in his current role as chief executive?
