Hey rangel - you slime mold - ya think the fact that you are a sleezy crook who should be deep in prison might have just a little bit of influence on the Obamaloon’s plans?
Charlie the whole thing is Illegal and criminal like you.
Charlie better watch out because Obama already has a pretense to get rid of him if necessary.
There is one thing Charlie is good at and that is speaking the truth out of school. He is a reprehensible cheat, but he is also a very pragmatic pol - what’s in it for me kinda guy. He is correct that bammy did not gain any votes with his speech, and using a Joint Session of Congress to make a partisan political speech was a minor leaque move all around. He hardened resistance and did nothing to swing anyone. He basically said anyone who votes against me is a liar. In the words of John Kerry, there was no nuance about the speech. Shoosh. I can’t wait to hear what he has to say to the Israelis.
