A state Democrat Joe Biden won to become President and now trails in…
A state Donald Trump has been indicted in for trying to steal the election he lost…
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump held competing campaign rallies on Saturday in battleground Georgia, days after Super Tuesday brought the long-anticipated, ugly rematch into hyperfocus.
The location of their dueling events was no accident. Biden’s rally in the Atlanta area was just a few miles from the Fulton County Jail, where Trump was booked last summer on charges in Georgia’s election interference case against him and a number of his allies. And Trump was shoring up his support in Rome, part of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district in the state’s conservative northwest.
Trump, who was scheduled to speak before Biden, took the stage minutes after the president wrapped his event 70 miles away. While Biden delivered a condensed version of his State of the Union address, Trump spent the first 10 minutes of his rally railing against the president’s Thursday night speech.
Saturday’s split screen wraps a defining week in the 2024 race for the White House, as both Biden and Trump swept Super Tuesday contests and the president delivered a fiery State of the Union address hammering his predecessor. The flurry of activity, particularly from the Biden campaign, offers a glimpse into the pace and nature of the fight voters can expect to see play out over the next eight months.
The venue of the split-screen visit — Georgia — also underscores the bitter nature of the rematch between the two men in what is already shaping up to be a historically long general election. Biden became the first Democrat since 1992 to flip the state, winning it in 2020 by just 12,000 votes and delivering a brutal blow to Trump’s reelection effort and his ego….
…
Despite his domination on Tuesday, Trump continues to show weakness in vital suburban areas that cost him the race four years ago. His legal challenges also continue to hover over his campaign, as it’s likely he will have to further drain his war chest for legal fees this summer.
While Trump for months has been trekking around the country to bolster his support with the Republican base, Biden’s campaign wind-up has been slower….
…
“Look, I’m not a young guy. That’s no secret,” the president said at the ad’s outset. “But, here’s the deal. I understand how to get things done for the American people,” he continued.
It concluded with a short cutscene, with Biden quipping: “Look, I’m very young, energetic and handsome.”…

NY Times columnist Ezra Klein has walked back his previous demand that Joe Biden drop his reelection bid in light of the President’s commanding State of the Union address Thursday night.
Robert Hur’s comments that so enthused CG about Biden being too weak and feeble minded to be prosecuted a few weeks back seem like outdated fiction.
Once again Mr. “Rarely Wrong” got it wrong.
So of course his M.O. is to claim that Keith, James and I are no different than Trump cultists because we don’t care as much about his strawman. In this case Biden’s hot mic comments about Netanyahu and “come to Jesus”.
Well CG, if you’re listening. Unlike the 95% of your former party I WILL criticize Biden on this issue. But it has nothing to do with his hot mic comments. Biden should have been tougher with Netanyahu months ago. I’m glad he is reiterating his support for the citizens of Israel but he should have called Netanyahu out for being a complete piece of shit months ago.
The people of Israel and Palestine deserve better than the “leaders” who are terrorists in the case of Hamas and stubborn bloodthirsty autocrats in the case of Bibi Netanyahu.
Trump campaign insider recounts failed hunt for 2020 fraud in new book
The December 2020 claim of voter fraud was explosive, if true: More than 700,000 people had voted twice in Wisconsin, the tip alleged.
But when a highly paid expert for Donald Trump’s campaign began to study the claim at the behest of a Trump lawyer, he quickly realized that not only was it false, but it had also traveled a surprisingly twisted path before landing in his inbox.
The expert, Ken Block, learned it had first appeared in a post on a website called TheDonald.win, where it was spotted by the owner of an IT company, who brought it to the attention of the general manager of Trump’s golf course in the Bronx.
The golf executive forwarded the tip to the president’s son Eric, who passed it along to the lawyer. At last, the lawyer, Alex Cannon, directed the wild Wisconsin claim to Block, a software engineer and former politician from Rhode Island who was hired by the campaign shortly after the 2020 election.
Fact Checker: The truth about election fraud: It’s rare
“I think there is a fundamental flaw with the analysis,” Block told Cannon a few hours later, in a Dec. 4, 2020, email reviewed by The Washington Post. The hundreds of thousands of supposedly double-counted votes were “nothing of the sort.”…

Second attempt to post here James.
Can we find it or shall I try again
Sorry Keith….
It did come up…..
OK I will try again, I want to associate myself with Scott’s comments especially regarding the demand by Corey that somehow Joe Biden, an 81 year old Irish church going Catholic, apologize for using a phrase he’s used since he began to speak.
As Jack would say, foolishness.
I personally thank God Joe, with all his faults, is sitting in the White House and happy he’s taking on Bibi.
This election is a binary choice, you can either vote for the guy who will protect democracy or an autocrat. That’s the choice.
Joe Biden IS doing fine…..
One can only hope that Donald Trump KEEPS working HARD to LOSE AGAIN.….
But Biden HAS TO be MORE visible…..
Thanks Keith. I don’t expect we’ll see CG here this week. He tends to only show up when there is bad news for Biden.
Since Thursday night’s SOTU the bad news has pretty much all been on the Republicans. Starting with their ridiculous behavior during the speech and continuing with the “housewife” in the kitchen response. And this morning their future nominee is saying he will cut social security and Medicare. Something Republicans in the chamber booed in disbelief when Biden said it would happen.
