“A President Compromised: The Biden Family Investigation,” details evidence revealing how President Biden has personally participated in and benefitted from his family’s business deals; used his public positions and permitted them to be used by others to further his family’s financial interests; and is potentially susceptible to influence, blackmail, or extortion by foreign entities, including by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).“

Explains why the economy is collapsing, Biden was only “laser focused” on the Biden families economy.

Interesting, and false. I've just watched a clip of Rep James Comer, Chairman of that Oversight Committee being interviewed on Fox and admitting that he had no evidence that President Biden was implicated in any such activity, but he is going to keep digging as he thinks he'll end up in China eventually.

Like all of the Republican "investigations" this is just another clown show fishing expedition to distract from Republicans absolute inability to do any work that benefits the American people.

Republicans have been investigating President Biden for five years. Where the beef?? Allegations but no facts, that are illegal. Give it up and help the US citizens. The previous president will not win the next cycle.

Republicans are desperately searching for some kind of crime... anything that might give them an excuse for hearings, like what they did with Clinton.

Searching for a crime is the definition of a witch-hunt.

With Trump, there's plenty of evidence that crimes were committed. So far, he's been indicted for falsifying business records. That's minor compared to what's coming.

There is going to be a lot of mud slinging in this campaign. It has been proven time after time that none of them tell the truth, that encompasses both side of the isle. Anyone that can not see that has to be deaf, dumb and blind.

And it is either, the lesser of two evils or just to keep the other out of office. It has been along time since the President was elected on their capability to do the job to it fullest capability.

It is clear who is Putin's favorite in the race. The Putin-Trump bromance continues.

The Kremlin Offers a Trump-Putin Ticket for 2024
The Russian president wades back into US politics, declaring the Donald’s enemies his enemies too. Shouldn’t that make Republicans think?

'The bizarre and unsavory strongman bromance between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump continues. If you’re a MAGA Republican and not having second thoughts by now, something’s wrong with you.

The latest head-scratcher and jaw-dropper is a new list of sanctions slapped on American individuals by the Russian president. That’s already weird. Aren’t we in the West the ones imposing sanctions on him for waging a genocidal war of conquest against Ukraine?

But there it is. Putin, as ever, peddles his own narratives that wantonly invert reality. So in the Kremlin’s book, it’s Russia that must punish the West for its aggression.

The creepier part is Putin’s pick of the 500 Americans on that list. Quite a few of them have nothing whatsoever to do with Russia or American policy toward the Kremlin. They instead share a different distinction: They’re domestic foes of the former US president.'

Trump admires Putin's tough guy image and his authoritarian control of his country.
I think the Russians like Putin because he makes them feel safe and assured. That's the reason Trump is popular, he acts as if he knows what's good for anyone/everyone, and of course himself.
Trump is also a shameless liar, and he thinks it's OK, a means to an end but I don't think he has a handle on what the end is. His lies are more than any other liar can keep up with.
I think Trump is less of a threat to our country than DeSantis is right now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden embarks on his reelection campaign, just 33% of American adults say they approve of his handling of the economy and only 24% say national economic conditions are in good shape, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Joe's administration is a total joke here to most all I know. From both political parties. He did as he said he would with horrible results following his moves.
