AOC Slams Biden's Stimulus Plan

Many of my friends on Facebook have stated that, after years of seeing the Left run down Trump without giving him a chance, they were not going to be kind to Joe Biden in any way what-so-ever.

I would usually respond to them by saying I would call out Biden whenever he did something I didn't like, but I would give him credit should he do something I agree with. I'd treat Biden the way they should have treated Donald Trump....and not the way they actually treated him.

On example might be that, because of the Democrat Party's overwhelming support of abortion, I could never vote for a Democrat for any office - local, State or Federal.

 However, it's been reported that Biden calls for more direct cash to Americans in new stimulus package by bumping up the $600 per person by $1400 for a total of $2000. I believe the increase is appropriate - it doesn't buy my vote, by any means, but I think it's the right thing to do.

You would think that with control of the House and Senate, Dems passing the bill would be a done deal. However, it's also being reported that Sandy Ocasio (AKA  AOC) already has a problem with Biden's stimulus plan. She says that "$2,000 means $2,000. $2,000 does not mean $1,400.″

She has a point, but if she wears a fashionable green ball cap, maybe no one will notice it.

Will Trump Run in 2024?


 

According to Daniel Dale at CNN, there is a Tweet making the rounds that claims Trump will be banned fron running in 2024 if he is impeached a second time, but Dale goes on to say No, impeachment itself would not ban Trump from a 2024 run.

The piece gives us these facts:

1) Trump would lose his post-presidency pension only if both the House voted to impeach him and then the Senate voted to remove him from office; impeachment itself, without removal, would not result in Trump being denied any benefits.
2) The law makes clear that presidents who have lifetime Secret Service protection never get a $1 million travel allowance.
3) It is unclear that Trump would lose lifetime Secret Service protection even if the Senate voted to remove him and prohibit him from running.
4) Even a Senate vote to remove Trump would not prohibit him from running in 2024; for the Senate to ban him from the presidency, it would have to hold an additional vote on this question.

While it may be legally possible for Trump to run in 2024, doing so would be a terrible mistake and certainly not good for the country. Of course, that wouldn't stop Trump.

Supposing Trump were to run again, I doubt the Republican Party would risk putting him on their ticket. He would have to run as a third party candidate.

Trump running again for POTUS would most assuredly lead to President Kamala Harris being reelected. I say President Harris and not Vice-President Harris, because we all know that Biden will either step down before his first (and only) term is finished, or he will be removed by via the 25th Amendment.

This talk of removing Trump with the 25th Amendment is actually a trial run on the real objective - removing Biden and putting in Harris.

If Trump really wants to Make American Great Again, he needs to stay out of politics.
