You don't think that Nixon'objective was to preserve his pesidency with the Watergate cover up? I would call that advancing his objective of remaining president.

I guess it's what the poster meant.

When I first read "advance political objectives", I took it as advancing on the election promises made and the conservative agenda.

But, whatever.

Gaetz is involved big time evidenced by the deal the Florida guy just struck. Remember, the bar is very high here for an elected official re any investigations and the fact that Gaetz is protesting so loudly, says a lot!

If someone is innocent then they are going to protest so I don't think it says a lot and it's only press speculating what he will reveal, if anything, about Gaetz.

After all he's on tour and has an audience in what is really a Trump rally without Trump. Which means people believe him that he's done nothing wrong and that for some reason he's a victim. Probably because he's a Trump protege he's a victim. Maybe people can make something up criminal and go after Marjorie Taylor Greene.

So far, Gaetz has only proven how stupid he is by leaving great big old pieces of cornbread in his trail giving investigators an easy job. But with the constellation of symptoms that the guy projects, all is not well with his decisions. Criminals aren't that hard to spot if you open your mind to that as an explanation for awful behavior.

It looks like maybe she's been abusing the Georgia Homestead Tax system, so making something up is likely not necessary.

You can guarantee that he's guilty! Most criminals are stupid and he definitely qualifies!

Showing pics of underage girls he's slept with in the Capitol to other members and boasting about it! Going on excursions with the Florida guy and taking hookers which is why he might be attracted to majorie Taylor Greene, just saying ?? when no one will associate with her except Trump who probably needs to find a lawyer to pay her off with his supporters money ?????!

These are all the actions of an idiot and a criminal!

Saw car guy President Biden take new electric F-150 for a test drive: 'This sucker's quick' while visiting Ford plant Flint, MI touting his jobs plan. He really floored it jokingly telling reporters to don't get in the way.

Truck being unveiled tomorrow.

As I listened to the truck traffic going past my house tthis morning, I thought that the world will be better when construction trucks are electric. My state allows trucks to run with so many tires I can't even count them and then they don't want to raise taxes to pay for the road damage they do. Quieter engines will help. But looking at Biden in this car made me wonder if Trump even knows HOW to drive? Lots of people who grew up in Manhattan don't know how to drive but he didn't grow up there. Did he have a chauffer in military school to drive him back to Queens for the weekends?

Back to President Biden ---made a fourth call to Netanyahu for cease fire. Many talking heads din't think Biden could cause any effect in Hammas-Israel skirmish.

Biden dramatically scales up the pressure on Netanyahu as decades-long relationship faces its most consequential moment

Quote

President Joe Biden on Wednesday dramatically escalated his public pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the fighting with Hamas that has stretched into a 10th day, as their decades-long relationship faces a stern test.

The White House said Biden told Netanyahu "that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire" in the raging violence. The statement was a signal Biden is losing patience with Netanyahu, a leader he has known for four decades....

Biden’s warning to Israel shakes up diplomacy — and politics

Quote

resident Biden's unusually blunt demand Wednesday that Israel de-escalate its military attack on Gaza is creating a rare rift between the two countries and dismaying some of Israel's supporters in the United States, while heartening Democrats who have increasingly pushed for a tougher U.S. stance toward Israel.

Biden for days had hesitated to publicly confront Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his demand for “a significant de-escalation today on the path to a cease-fire” shook up the worlds of politics and diplomacy. It was the clearest evidence yet of a rapidly changing political dynamic, at least among Democrats, that is far less accepting of actions Israel says it is taking in self-defense.

The White House has told Netanyahu in recent days that the ground is shifting in the United States, even among some lawmakers who have long been supportive of Israel, two people familiar with aspects of the message said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. That shift was the backdrop for Wednesday’s call, the fourth between the two leaders since hostilities began....

I have to say Israel is one tough country. Surrounded on three sides by who knows how many people who hates them and has a religion of martyrdomship and they choose to be antagonistic?

Think about how many right wing groups who could surreptitiously pitch in how many different countries? I think it's only a matter of time before someone does something absolutely insane to Israel. It's not like there isn't a track record. I don't believe for a second that Egypt or Saudi Arabia haven't got fanatics who will get involved eventually.
