to see some rumbling. Sure, dyed-in-the-wool Leftists are generally (though not totally) keeping it to themselves. but…

Swapping out Joe Biden for Kamala Harris right before the mid-term elections would be a transparent ploy, and it is likely to backfire.

Yet to replace Joe with Kamala right now allows FAR too much time for the “shine” to predictably rub off the Kamala apple.

It’s a Lefty conundrum. Hammer, meet anvil…

My guess? Democrats will replace Joe with Kamala a month or so before the mid-terms. It is simply not clear that there is another decent choice. Maybe try to tough it out and hope for the best in the mid-terms. After all, Joe is more palatable to the general public than is Kamala. But that still seems pretty risky to me. But maybe less risky than having Kamala take over now…

The wild card in all this is Joe (and “Dr.” Jill) being willing to go softly into that good night. It is not clear that that will happen. Oh, Joe will do whatever he is told and be lead wherever his handlers lead him, of course. His awareness of what is going on is more than a bit… diminished. Build an (another) oval office replica, have a few phone calls with actors pretending to be world leaders and he will never even know the difference.

But I’m not at all sure that Jill and Ron Klain and Hunter and others are at all ready for the Joe Biden dog-and-pony show and gravy train to be over.

Elon Musk will actually be able to get Twitter in a hostile takeover. Oh, I dearly hope so, and I would join Twitter that same day. I just suspect that it will not actually happen. May I be wrong!

But “Plan B” is also a pretty good option. If I were a billionaire (oh, how I wish!) I would be more than happy to join Elon in this.

This option (that they used to use for whaling ships) is that a bunch of people all get together and pool their resources and then divide any profits as well as share the risks to the ship based on the percentage that they risked. You buy only a proportion of that ship–so you spread the risk. I mean, one person couldn’t buy the whole ship PLUS bear all the risks by himself, so costs and benefits were spread out across several investors.

You join the deal, and then hope that your ship actually makes in back into home port. You think, “One day my ship will come in.”

So the “boss” of that ship, of course, has a legal duty to not take unnecessary risks and to maximize the returns and minimize the losses for those who bought in.

It was called an “Incorporation…”

BUT, I think the board of Twitter is in a bind: See, they have a legal fiduciary duty toward the stock-holders. And Musk has made an offer that is financially good for those stock-holders.

So if the Twitter board rejects the offer, they face legal liability potentially from each individual stock-holder for doing something that is not good for them. Then they would face lawsuit after lawsuit for deliberately failing in their fiduciary duty.

Plus, I would predict that the value of Twitter stack sinks like a stone if the board rejects the offer, even further opening themselves up to charges of breach of fiduciary duty. And stock-holders would rightly be, if not disgruntled, not exactly gruntled (thanks, P.G. Wodehouse!).

But if they accept, Twitter becomes a place for free speech, and the board just can’t tolerate that!

So the board is indeed between a rock and a hard place…

campaign against Di-Fi is really gaining ground!

But I think there’s actually no worry that Di-Fi could possibly be replaced by a Conservative, no matter what happens.

I just think there’s simply no reason to throw Di-Fi under the bus. I really don’t think there is even the slightest risk to Democrats of losing that seat.

it was a “sting” that devolved into frank entrapment. The FBI is NOT trustworthy. And it will take decades for them to get over the public relations nightmare that this is!

According to a new filing by a defense attorney in the Oath Keepers case, at least 20 federal agents were near the Capitol on January 6.

So what politician do the people go to to get their reputations back?

So now do ALL conspiracy theories about the government come true?

And just who would trust them now?

This comes on the heels of the FBI taking a black eye in Michigan earlier this month after a jury acquitted two men who were accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The trials of two other defendants in the case resulted in hung juries. The FBI is widely believed to have concocted the whole plot and then recruited people to join them, pushing their BS narrative that “right-wing white supremacists” are the nation’s biggest threat.

I gotta tell you, this infuriates me!

SOME Democrats make some sense once in a while!
