I saw it stated somewhere that if your granny ate it, it was food. Most of what is in the stores are food products.

It blunts their impact with the public and their ability to make hay with it and complicates the Biden situation for the republicans. It will also have bearing on the Trump documents case, that was an unforced error to say the least! Gym Jordan has to wait for the DOJ investigations and can't move before they are done and the report could exonerate Biden, cutting Gym off at the knees. You are correct, it is not off the table, but when they bring up Biden's doc's, it will be compared to Pence's issue, not Trump's monumental fuckup and crimes. It sours the talking point for them and makes it look more like a systemic issue and less like a criminal one. In both cases the national archives didn't even know they were missing, in Trump's case they had to take extraordinary measures to recover them.

It will with some of the public. Logic can't be applied to the MAGA faction, and it won't slow the repubs from using it as a talking point. Faux news will still bang away at it, hypocrisy doesn't matter to most of the right, see M. Garland vs A.C. Barret. I would bet a big sigh of relief from the Democrats though.

It has now become more of a transition and systemic problem now, excluding Trump of course, that case is completely different from a legal POV. Of course you can't convince the magats, it's the center they want and the confidence of their democratic base, democrats are critical of their leaders and are loyal, but only to a point. There does not appear to be any moral failings in Biden or Pence's case, clerical errors, no mens rea, intention and knowledge and therefore no crime, by them at least.

Whereas with Trump, there is plenty of evidence of mens rea, including several recorded public confessions, aside from witnesses and physical evidence. Trump is going to prison over stupidity, pure and simple, his own. He was advised by dozens of lawyers and warned by the DOJ and national archives, who all can be witnesses against him in court. Donald did himself in with arrogance, hubris, ignorance and stupidity over a simple case that is easily proved by a mountain of evidence. Donald has no viable defense and is pretty well fucked with a fast trial and convictions.

It will be the perfect setup for J6 and removes much of the risk of trying him for insurrection or seditious conspiracy, along with others. When the kingpin goes down fast and first, it will cause a bit of panic in some circles, if Mark Meadows is squealing and dealing, it will cause considerably more! :lol:

It's cruel to food shame people, Roger..frankly, not anyone's business how another eats..then you further shame by saying he's fat and on food stamps?

I mind what's in my cart; don't judge what others have in theirs, their weight or how they pay..it's none of my fucking business.

Some honest, intelligent patriots do get mixed up in the dirty laundry of politics but then they get kicked off congressional committees by vengeance seeking republican House Speakers.

True,no matter how noble a individual's goals in politics may be,I expect them to inevitably compromise on their ideals just to make it,there is no way to garner the support and put together a posse to get elected without outside influence's having a effect on one's platform.As things are today ideals are watered down and divides have turned into valleys. I miss the days when politicians disagreed over policies but didn't have the level of animosity that now exists and could be pragmatic and compromise to move our country forward.
