Pentagon Pete’s response:
I finally overcame the woke indoctrination brainwashing I received when I was young and impressionable.
And finally found a cult that would take my drunk, adulterous ass.
For me it was this "conditional statement":
"If he is suffering from cognitive decline but has surrounded himself with loyalists who will do as he says no matter what, the job of press secretary trying to explain is going to get even tougher."
IMO there is no "if" about it. He is....he...
She herself is one of those loyalists who will do as he says no matter what so she's perfect for the job.
She's not interested in credibility, reasoned rationales, or "trying to explain". She's a sock puppet miming whatever responses she's been given to say.
She's not a "press secretary"...
If I was Dem. Leadership, I would immediately agree to a continuing resolution until November in exchange for two things….neither financial.
Grant the discharge of the Epstein resolution and have an official on the record vote on the release.
Then I would fund a single issue campaign candidate...
Technically, you’re still a felon after a pardon.
A pardon removes all civil and criminal liability that comes with a felony conviction, but doesn’t expunge or nullify or void it.
