Haha. @Milbank thinks that a government that forces mandates on employers; arrests 700 mostly peaceful trespassers; raids adversarial journalists and prosecutes operatives that don’t go along with a partisan inquisition is the side of democracy.

@RyanLizza, don’t waste time.
The hackery of @Milbank’s premise is that he claims Biden is good and Trump is bad and then wonders how can anyone be “balanced” between the two.

Hey. Revamp your premise and you will have less questions. Your baseline is clownish. No idea why anyone sane took you serious on it.
Biden was VP when the IRS targeted conservatives and when the Intel Community was unleashed on an opponent of the same political party as the 2016 dossier-funder. Biden keeps pushing COVID rules without Congress votes, yet @Milbank claims Trump is the authoritarian.
For real. @Milbank views Biden as legit; Trump as corrupt so naturally anyone or any media coverage that is less than this must be biased against Biden.

How clownish can someone be?

As GOP Senate leader since ‘85, Bob Dole helped convince Reagan that for good of country/party, the GOP should accept an amnesty bill in 1986 giving legal status for 2.7 million people. GOP won California in 1988 for the sixth time in a row but lost it in every POTUS vote since.
The GOP lost 8 Senate Seats in 1986 midterms and with it control of the Senate with Dole as leader. Pushing amnesty votes in House/Senate in Sep-Oct for good of country angered GOP voters who figured there is no need to have the GOP in the majority if they behave like Dems.
With Democrats in control of the Senate 55-45, they decided to Bork Robert. He needed 60 votes but 58 voted against him in October 1987 including 6 @SenateGOP while only 2 @SenateDems backed him. As always, GOP has more breakaways than Dems because idiots are Republicans.

The lesson from @andrewcuomo’s and @ChrisCuomo’s rapid downfalls is not to abuse your power. Andrew from the Governor’s office and Chris from his seat at CNN, targeted whomever they wanted and however they wanted with few-to-none in politics or in national/NY media pushing back.
Sure, it worked well for them for a long while but the moment the sharks did breakthrough the fense everyone else scattered. No one was there to defend them because their professional relationships were rooted in fear (from Andrew) or need for TV time (from Chris).
I am not predicting the future for @andrewcuomo or @ChrisCuomo; I am talking how they fell from their seats of power. It reminds me of @PreetBharara. He was the tough charging US Attorney of SDNY. Instead if using his powerful seat only to go after real crimes, he went where he

“We”?

Dems can change Senate rules with 50+VP if need be and Dems have the House/WH too.

Why does @LeaderMcConnell accept culpability re gov funds?

Why does he give up before a battle starts?

Why does he give Fake Moderates Manchin/Sinema a way out by adding GOP votes?
.@toddstarnes Losers are Republicans.

@RMConservative electing more of them in 2022 just means more losers with Rs next to their name giving Biden some of the things he wants.

Dems obstructed Trump; they had wins in 2018/2020, and they plow ahead as if they are kings.
Flashback to less than 2 months ago after GOP helped lift the debt ceiling by $450 billion.@LeaderMcConnell warned Biden that the GOP will not go along with the next chaos budgetary vote.

Well, the chaos is here and McConnell IS going along with it (without getting anything).

.@KurtSchlichter @RMConservative Chip called for Trump to be impeached for understanding that the constitution permits for a congressional verification of the electors; not merely a rubber stamping of the count. He helped cause the GOPs GASen loss in Jan.
2 days before the GA runoff, @chiproytx cooled off GOP voters by leading a letter that adapted Dems’ buzzwords that trying to ascertain the integrity of the 2020 elections is an “effort to overturn the election results.” This after Dems doubted 2016 for years!

Video of @chiproytx saying on the House floor that Trump committed “impeachable conduct” by trying to convince Pence that the VP has power/obligation to ascertain the integrity of the electors.

Roy also suggests that Trump is at fault for 1/6 violence.

Tucker defends @ChrisCuomo for helping his brother.

Helping his good but how he helped is the problem.

Tucker not seeing this is another illustration that suckers are conservatives even someone like TC.

Don’t RT this because you don’t want to jeopardize an invite to his show.
Chris Cuomo apparently abused his position of impartial power to go after his brother’s accusers. That’s not the same as just helping a brother out of loyalty (as @TuckerCarlson wrongly put it). It’s not like Chris helped Andrew’s legal defense with funds which would be fine.
Tucker’s thinking yesterday and monologue is another illustration why Cons lose. They are rollover suckers who unlike Dems who move in like sharks extend “understandings.”

Tucker is the toughest of the tough Conservative voices but Cons come up short on the politics of politics.

The less those work, the more they double down on it.

The UK is “offering” a second booster for people who are immunocompromised and is cutting the time between shot(s) and booster from 6 months to 3.

Obviously, if the shots work as planned, they wouldn’t need these changes.
Fauci said he does not expect the vaccines to eliminate COVID—19 as done to MMR. Of course not. Those shots are not like MMR which makes compulsory vaccination against C19 idiotic because by the time you get to the second half of the population, the first needs their booster.
At any rate, it’s a waste of time to bark here or on cute little “conservative” websites about all this if and as long national health/political reporters don’t challenge Fauci, @CDCDirector and Pharma CEOs with some basic stuff. They never do which is why nothing changes.
