Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

gaetz investigation update. Looks bad for Matty. Everyone is guilty and cooperating with the 5-0. Which means they want the big fish. In this case the big fish is a certain GOP member of congress who hires teenage prostitutes. Apparently. I just hope some of this criminal stuff is at the state level so trump won't pardon Gaetz.

///

“Big Joe” Ellicott, a former Florida shock jock with potentially key information about the sex trafficking ring involving Rep. Matt Gaetz, has pleaded guilty in federal court, The Daily Beast has learned.

Ellicott is the long-time best friend of corrupt Florida tax official Joel Greenberg, who was Gaetz’s wingman in the underage sex operation, according to several sources with direct knowledge of their relationship. Last year, The Daily Beast revealed that Ellicott knew intimate details about the teenage girl who was paid for sex by the group—and actually texted what essentially amounted to a confession that they were scrambling to try and coverup details about their sex with a 17-year-old from the feds.

Joe Zwick, an attorney for Ellicott, told The Daily Beast that his client has been cooperating in the sex trafficking case against Gaetz. That case is being handled by Justice Department prosecutors in Washington, D.C., and is separate from the local ongoing investigation into Greenberg and the tax office, which gave rise to the charges in Ellicott’s case.

He's one of Sally's heroes, and the GQP of course fully supports him and has not even stripped him of committee appointments. Keep in mind this POS was the ONLY member of congress who refused to endorse an anti sex trafficking bill a few years ago. Lock him the f up.

My prediction - the GQP is going to help him try to smear everyone involved in putting Rick away - the prosecutors, the witnesses, the then underage victim, everyone. This is how they roll, and anything to protect a criminal of their own. Lock this POS the f up.

Menendez is 100 times worse than Gaetz (whom you seem to idolize).

Get back to your turd polishing. Biden's numbers are sh!tting the bed.

41% approval overall (down 3 points from previous)

60% approval among blacks (down 7 points from previous)

44% approval on handling Covid (down 21 points)

Lets go Brandon!

Hey agip, why don't you tell why it's okay to allow over 1.2 million unvaxxed illegal aliens to enter our country but prevent unvaxxed truckers to enter our country to bring goods? Where is the logic in that?

Hahahahahaha!!!!

Democrats lose again!!!!

Always found it funny that many conservatives feel certain that mainstream media lies and can't be trusted, and yet tunes in everyday to the most watched, most mainstream news network in America.

You can always count on the "conservatives" to twist themselves up in contradiction.

Gotta love the inconvenient fact that the aging mouth breathers still largely look to cable "news" opinions to inform them on domestic and world affairs, hence the massive discrepancy in viewership as the younger D base has quickly shifted away. I would not be proud of the above stat.

y'know something gary? I don't believe a word you say.

every time you claim something, 3 minutes of googling proves you are making something up and/or simply repeating right wing media nonsense meme that popped up in your Facebook feed.

so this time I'm not going to spend the time looking into this. Because you are a liar and I don't feel like being directed by you today.

you are the boy who cries wolf over and over. That's you, my enemy-of-democracy non-friend.

it's more than that...there's only one right wing media outlet, so every rube watches Fox. Which makes their numbers look big.

whereas there are multiple actual news outlets that educated non-rubes watch. Add together all the actual news outlets and their viewership is far above Fox News viewership. But spread out, each show is behind Fox.

the 'empty shelves' memes have been false for a long time, but now they have to change to 'shelves too full of stuff, prices falling, #FJB'

But seriously, capitalism works very hard day and night to get you want you want. The flood of goods has increased to match demand from a booming US economy. Maybe too hard. Expect prices to start falling or at least stop rising so fast.

Massive upswing in retail inventories in December, +4.4% vs. +1.5% est. & +2% in prior month … monthly gain is by far largest on record

According to the latest Monmouth poll, Biden net approval is the worst in the 18-34 age group. Net support for Republicans in congress is for the 18-34 is slightly higher than 35-54 and slightly lower than 55+.

just a couple days ago:

you claimed trump ordered 20,000 national guard troops. False.

then you claimed 10,000. False.

truth is, he ordered ZERO nat guard troops.

then you claimed pelosi declined the troops. False.

then you claimed bowser declined the troops. false.

You never acknowledge that bowser was working with the DC nat guard the whole time.

You are a walking Facebook meme. You just go to FB, get a meme, put it in words, and post it here.

You are a rube, a joke.

In what way is the meme false? Are all these CEOs talking about supply chain shortages and mainstream outlets reporting on it falling for a rightwing meme?

"Retail inventory is better than last month" does not mean "retail inventory is fine." Long way to go before it's back to pre-2020 levels.

shelves are not empty

sure, you can find some shelf somewhere that is empty.

but retail inventory levels have been about the same since March 2020, as you suggest. Even in the face of higher demand because of the booming economy.

Shelves are full but with a few shortages in a few items.

The invisible hand is successfully matching the increased demand since the stimuluses.

and today's inventory news suggests maybe stores bought too much. Maybe. We'll see. Maybe omicron just caused a blip and the demand will suck up all this new inventory.

You ignore soaring inflation

You keep saying the economy is booming

You keep saying Biden is doing a great job while the majority of America disagrees.

You only have the LR libs agreeing with you.

Stay delusional.

I was correct about the unvaxxed truckers. This is where you say "fair" and move along. Take your L.

"Truck drivers from Canada and Mexico are among the travelers who will not be allowed to cross the borders into the United States unless they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, effective Jan. 22."

Is this the metric your tweet is quoting?

Definitely not flat since March 2020
