The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Biden harbors lingering frustration at Pelosi, Obama, Schumer
Ahead of the convention that’s meant to unify the party, tensions still remain.


Because he's not happy those 3 forced him out of the race and effectively...out of office.

President Joe Biden is frustrated that Barack Obama wouldn’t tell him to his face that he should leave the race. He’s angry with Nancy Pelosi and views her as ruthless for ushering him out the door. And he’s still miffed at the role Chuck Schumer played, too.

After 8 years of working with Barack Obama he should know better. "Leading from behind" and all that. Obama was not and never has been a Take Responsibility Guy for anything: he's always been a bystander when things go wrong under his direction and fancies himself more in the Eisenhower role.

“She did what she had to do” in order to give Democrats the best chance to win in November, Biden told one of the people, adding that Pelosi “cares about the party,” not about feelings.

Heh. She also doesn't care about what democrat voters think.

To ensure Joe's silence, the democrats' State Media outfits are throwing brushback pitches. After ignoring/downplaying/deriding as fake news the entire Hunter Biden affair, the NYT now says this:

nytimes.com - Hunter biden ukrainian company
Hunter Biden Sought State Department Help for Ukrainian Company
After President Biden dropped his re-election bid, his administration released records showing that while he was vice president, his son solicited U.S. government assistance.


In other words...yes, Hunter Biden was in the influence peddling business.

Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews.
The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member.


This has been obvious for years, but is news to many.

CLEARLY Biden's being told to keep his mouth shut and accept his fate. If he doesn't...here's what he'll win: A DOJ that will target Hunter Alderaan with their prosecutorial Death Star.
