All Hat No Cattle: 'Is That a Joke?' Biden Retorts When Asked If He or Trump Deserve Credit for Ceasefire Deal

'Is That a Joke?' Biden Retorts When Asked If He or Trump Deserve Credit for Ceasefire Deal
President Joe Biden delivered remarks from the White House Wednesday afternoon regarding the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in which he thanked President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration for working as “one team,” but also made it clear that he felt he deserves the bulk of the credit for the agreement.

I support a cease fire in Palestine. I support Palestinian nationhood. I support holding Israel accountable for war crimes.

But I DO NOT support any of those things MORE than I support saving MY country & this democracy! - Pam Keith

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump

Gov. Newsom: What's not helpful or beneficial is these wild eyed fantasies that somehow there's a magical spigot in California that just can be turned on. And all of a sudden there will be rain or water flowing everywhere. It's not helpful.. amplified by Elon Musk

The Fires Continue...😓

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people, destroyed more than 12,000 structures and charred more than 60 square miles. The largest by far — the Palisades and Eaton wildfires — continue to burn out of control, officials said.

The National Weather Service L.A. office says winds "underperformed" Tuesday, but one more winds "enhancement" could sweep in on Wednesday. It kept a rare "Particularly Dangerous Situation" Red Flag Warning in effect for 3 a.m. local time until 3 p.m. "We are not out of the woods yet," the office said about the latest winds worries.

Dear Canada, please send an arctic blast to Washington DC on Jan. 20. Bitter cold with enough wind to blow his hair around. Thank you. - eastendjoe

Republican Shenanigans

So why did the FBI refuse to do a thorough background check on Hegseth? They didn't interview most of his colleagues who had spoken out, nor did they interview the women who accused him? Are they obeying in advance? Or just all in on Team Trump? - URockLive1

Sounds Like A Drunk Defending A Drunk...
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) offered an unusual defense of Pete Hegseth, whom President-elect Donald Trump has nominated as Secretary of Defense...During the hearing, Mullin defended Hegseth by claiming unnamed senators “have shown up drunk to vote at night.”...“I was in that room today,” she noted...how is the bad behavior of a sitting senator a defense of someone who wants to run the Pentagon?”

“The truth is the average enlisted soldier, marine, airman would be judged harshly if they committed adultery, which is a violation of the uniform code of military justice, if they were drinking on the job, if they were lying to their subordinates or superiors, so this really cuts to the question of character,” says infantry vet Paul Rieckhoff .

So, to summarize: If a man cheats, Carrie Underwood will take a baseball bat to his car. But if a man cheats and rapes, she’ll sing at his inauguration. - Jen

Unlike Republicans, Democrats Aren't As Loyal

...In her interview with the Post, the First Lady reflected bitterly on Pelosi’s betrayal.

“Let’s just say I was disappointed with how it unfolded,” said Biden about her husband’s sidelining. “I learned a lot about human nature.”

Asked specifically about Pelosi, Biden said “I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships.”

“It’s been on my mind a lot lately, and-” she continued. “We were friends for 50 years. It was disappointing.”

Maybe we should fly our flags at half staff for the next 4 years? - Heidisplace2

Straight up oligarchy.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will all attend Trump’s inauguration—and will be seated on the platform with cabinet officials and elected lawmakers.

The next four years will be a massive grift for the wealthiest people in the world. - Sawyer Hackett

Can Trump Save Musk From The SEC?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing him of failing to disclose his ownership of Twitter stock in a timely manner in early 2022.

According to the SEC, the omission allowed Musk to save “by at least $150 million” on shares he purchased after surpassing the 5 percent ownership threshold.

Duckworth could take both Hegseth & Macehole outside & wipe the floor with them. She's a fighter. She's our fighter and we are thankful for her.

Instead of buying Greenland, why couldn't we use that money to fund all of the shuttered rural hospitals? I live in a county in western Virginia that has one hospital and it's closed.

And in conclusion: I'm pretty sure a tunnel from America to Europe would be around 3,500 miles long. In order to traverse it in under 54 minutes, a monorail would have to travel at well over 3,500 miles per hour. That's over twice the speed of sound. Is that even possible? What am I missing here?
