Is Trump Getting Arrested? Suddenly in DC, Carrying Ketchup?
Donald Trump traveled to the DC area yesterday, and there is speculation that he is there because he expects to be arrested or indicted imminently. Newsweek is reporting that Trump made a “surprise and unannounced” visit to the nation’s capital via Dulles International Airport in Virginia. There is a video of Trump getting off the plane and one of the strangest things about it is that it looks like the ex-president was holding a ketchup bottle. However, the red item in Trump’s hand could easily be a folded-up MAGA hat or something else. An indictment coming at this point would be very soon based on the timeline of how these investigations tend to go. But with how unprecedented this entire saga has been, nothing is outside the realm of possibility.
Al Franken Turns Republican Into Sputtering Mess
Former Democratic Senator Al Franken appeared on CNN with Republican strategist Alice Stewart and turned her into a sputtering mess while debating the GOP’s obstruction of Democratic nominations like that of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016. Stewart tried making the case that Garland’s nomination was held up because the presidency and Senate merely were divided at that time. But Franken didn’t allow her to get away with that explanation, saying “that’s not what [Mitch] McConnell said.” Alice tried making the case that historical precedent didn’t allow Supreme Court nominations when there are divided governments. Franken said, “tell me when it happened before,” but Alice didn’t have an answer for him. The rest of the exchange was Stewart trying to come up with a justifiable argument but was unable to get in a word edge-wise over Franken. This is exactly how to showcase Republican obstructionism and the dirty political games they’ve been playing for many years now.

4 out of 5 Republican Candidates Would Impeach Biden
Last week, there was a Republican primary debate in New Hampshire for the US House’s first congressional district. Out of the five candidates on stage, four of them said they would impeach President Biden on day one of their term with the fifth person saying he wants hearings to look into it. The reasons, however, for impeaching Biden spanned all over the place going to show the brazen partisan nature of the Republican Party at this time. One candidate said she would impeach Biden for his “dereliction at the southern border,” which doesn’t make sense since the situation has been virtually unchanged since he took office. Another candidate said she would impeach Biden for withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan, even though Biden carried out the same plan Trump had. This goes to show that there’s a serious possibility of Biden getting impeached (though he won’t get convicted) if Republicans take back the House in November, but who knows what reason or reasons they will settle on.

Total Lunatic Republicans Are Leading in Many Races
While Democrats have been improving their positions in races around the country over the past few months, there are still plenty of elections where lunatic Republicans are up big against their Democratic counterparts. In Georgia, for example, Governor Brian Kemp is up an average of five points on Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams. Also in Georgia, former football player Herschel Walker is essentially tied with incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott is up significantly over Democrat Beto O’Rourke, with the average spread being seven percentage points. There are other signs of positivity for Democrats, like in Pennsylvania, for example, but with how extreme these Republicans are, Dems should be leading in way more races across the country.
