EXPLOSIVE: Congressmen debate on steps of Capitol
Republican Congressman Byron Donalds and Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman engaged in a debate this week on the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The discussion lacked deep policy substance but was considered a refreshing change from the recent political discourse. During the debate, Bowman listed out a number of Joe Biden’s policy accomplishments, while Byron Donalds could only respond with a simple “no” to everything. Donalds made the argument that his home state of Florida has two strong Republican options for president in 2024, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Bowman did his best to dismiss the assertion as absurd and argue that Joe Biden can defeat either one of those candidates. While this back and forth didn’t get deep into policy, it was still healthier discourse than that which is typically displayed within the halls of Congress.
LOL: Kyle Rittenhouse begs for money on Fox News
Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty of criminal charges for killing multiple people in 2020, is now being sued civilly by the family of one of the men he shot dead and by another person he injured. Rittenhouse appeared on Tucker Carlson's show to ask for donations to help him fight the lawsuits. However, he mangled the URL, which is meant to direct donors to a fundraising website to cover his legal expenses. Rittenhouse told Tucker, “I know we're going to win the court, but it's going to be expensive. It's going to cost a lot of money to fight. These attorneys are very powerful. You can go to www.[uniteligable].com/kylerittenhouse.” Then Kyle made the claim that if the lawyers can go after him, they can also go after everyday Americans, which is a statement that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because there would be no reason for them to. Just because Kyle was found not guilty in the criminal case doesn’t mean he’ll also win the civil case, and the two plaintiffs appear to have a legitimate case.

Trump's lead is EXPLODING over DeSantis in 2024 primary
Donald Trump’s lead in the 2024 Republican primary continues to grow and he is now back to having a commanding lead over Ron DeSantis. A recent Emerson poll shows Trump leading DeSantis by 30 points, 55% to 25%, compared to a 26-point lead in January. The poll also found that Trump gets 72% support among Republicans with a high school degree or less and that Trump is ahead of Biden 46% to 42%, while DeSantis trails Biden. Other polls, including one by Echelon Insights and a Fox News poll, show Trump's lead over DeSantis widening by 13 and 15 points, respectively. It should be noted however, that Trump tends to perform better in the polls when other candidates are included, whereas the gap between Trump and DeSantis is much smaller when it’s presented as a head-to-head race. Nevertheless, the latest evidence shows that Trump has a commanding lead in the early days of the 2024 Republican primary.

UH-OH: Glenn Greenwald and Briahna Joy Gray are COMING FOR ME!
Journalist Glenn Greenwald and Podcaster Briahna Joy Gray have both criticized David’s response to Marianne Williamson’s announcement that she’s running for president in 2024. In a segment last week, David discusses how there’s much to doubt when it comes to Williamson’s experience and qualifications. Greenwald called out David’s take on some quotes by her, posting to Twitter, “Those quotes aren't remotely ‘kooky.’ They're reflective of someone engaging the vast mysteries of life via spirituality and transcendence. But to utterly conventional midwits serving as Normalcy Enforcers - @davidpakmanshow - anything beyond NYT op-ed page dreck seems ‘crazy.’” Gray piled on, writing, “Biden guy wants to vote for Biden again. This is why that part of the left is dead.” This backlash is simply for expressing the opinion that Marianne Williamson is not the right person for the job, but that she absolutely has the right to run and make her case to voters.

Before we get our hopes up about Trump being brought to justice, read "Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away With It" (Elie Honig). The reason why wealthy people (including crime bossess, ex-presidents, disgraced CEOs, etc) have the charges dropped is because they have the money to hire expensive attorneys, but more importantly, Trump has goons who will murder the people who will vote to indict (including their families). Look at Jan. 6: Nancy Pelosi was supposed to have been murdered in her office that day, and when that didn't work, they tried to murder her again (through her husband). She and her family were in mortal danger. The Jan. 6 thugs will kill ANYONE who tries to stop Donald Trump. He will walk free, thanks to his supporters who think he is God. We are screwed.
