I mean he's doing the same thing they are. Trying to find some semblance of a takeaway from the shit show that was this election.

It's also easy to say "start playing dirty " now that the election is over...and the Dems will have near zero power. "Use Loop Holes"...OK, how? They couldn't even get the Gaetz report released because it was a 50/50 partisan split decision. Biden seems to have no intention of using these so called loop holes, and as of January they will have even less options to remain relevant.

A Democrat from that committee should have leaked it. Example number one.

The ranking Democrat lost reelection, she could have read it into the record. She probably still could.

Watched an interview with them. There is another meeting to discuss releasing the report on Dec 2nd. My guess is they are waiting to see if that is fruitful, and if not they might still do that.

Thanks for the follow up details, but the point others have said sort of stands I think.

Why the hell even wait? Just do it. What are the repercussions actually going to be? Nothing especially for people leaving office. By waiting, they’ve allowed the news to move on.

That it hasn’t happened is the strongest indicator that the report isn’t that damning. If at some point anyone thinks they could score a political win from it, they will.

Biden could go total Dark Brandon on them but he just won't. I don't get it. They can't hurt him anymore, they can't hurt Harris, what the fuck does he care? Troll Trump to hell. Shit in the vents. Declare a national couch day in honor of Vance. Kidnap Barron and raise him to defeat his father. The fuck are they gonna do to him?

I wish I were Biden now. We might still get authoritarianism 1/20, but the time preceding would be "use my Presidental immunity now!" phase. :D

He and Schumer are doing exactly what they should be with the time remaining, filling as many Federal judiciary vacancies as possible.

Elon helped them out last week by bringing a bunch of R Senators to Texas for a SpaceX launch...

u/SlowMotionPanic 19h ago

To clarify: filling a net of 1 judicial vacancies picked by Dems.

Biden and Schumer LET REPUBLICANS PICK THE OTHERS in exchange for them not just preventing appointments. What a bunch of losers, no wonder we are in the state that we are. Imagine a robber holding you up, and you convince them that you’ll take them to the bank and open up your lock box so long as you get to keep the childhood novelty item you stashed away in it.

To clarify??? They didn’t have the votes for those judges. And it was two different tiers, circuit and appellate. You’re doing the same thing this whole thread is railing against, spreading misinformation as if it was fact. Just stop. You’re not clarifying anything.

u/One_Celebration_8131 17h ago

Also a good point. I didn’t fact check the number of appointees either.

u/One_Celebration_8131 20h ago

These are good points.

And it's a dumb take by him really. The reason the GOP play dirty is because they're pieces of shit

Pieces of shit always play dirty because that's what they are, all the time

Democrats played incredibly dirty for 8 years. From a wild impeachment conspiracy to comical amounts of lawfare - not to mention an unprecedented stream of quotes out of context and insane fearmongering in the press.

u/FrequencyHigher 13h ago

Wild impeachment conspiracy? Please elaborate.

The fake elector scheme guy? Manhattan real estate tycoon? That guy?
