&lt;i&gt;Does anyone see the disconnect between [60] and [61]?&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, I do see disconnects:

1. You failed to notice it was a post to me and not you. 

2. You are once again whining about posts like you told everyone else to stop doing.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Why can&#039;t people just ignore what they don&#039;t want to read here by people they don&#039;t like without always making a big issue out of it. ~ Elizabeth Miller &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Please allow yourself to stop policing the board. Or are you completely unable to do that? :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;I would hope the Disney people reprogram their Robo Trump with this excerpt from the 2019 4th o&#039; July speech. I&#039;m confident the Imagineers can devise a grand finale where monkeys magically fly out of his butt. &lt;/i&gt;

*laughs* Orangutans, of course. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Apparently, it&#039;s OK for Occasional Cortex to block her Twitter users, but it&#039;s NOT OK for President Trump to do so...&lt;/I&gt;

Once again you prove you are only here to be a troll!   AOC and Trump were actually doing the same thing — blocking certain users that they did not want following them.  AOC and Trump doing the same thing....it must make your eyes bleed to read that.  The court ruled that because Trump uses Twitter as his main way to address the public, citizens have the right to follow him in order to stay informed.  AOC is not the president, and courts haven’t ruled that Congress’ use of Twitter must be accessible by all citizens.</description>

&gt;&gt; That may be true but then Trump should have made that distinction on any number of occasions.

&gt; No distinction was necessary.. It was plain in his words..

What&#039;s &quot;plain in his words&quot; is that he was clearly and repeatedly referring to a specific group of protestors from the day before. 

&lt;i&gt;There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before. If you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I’m sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day, it looked like they had some rough, bad people—neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest, because you know—I don’t know if you know, they had a permit.&lt;/i&gt;

Do you deny he said this?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; you’d think that our federal cyber crimes units would be smarter than you when it comes to these things&lt;/i&gt;

Not in Trumpland, where the dumbest guy gets to lead the parade, where the borders are always under attack, and where the Clintonistas run &lt;i&gt;everything&lt;/i&gt;!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So, the DNC didn&#039;t want the authorities to learn that the DNC servers were LOCALLY accessed.. So, the DNC refused to let authorities examine the servers..&lt;/i&gt;

The DNC doesn’t have the authority to dictate to law enforcement what they can take as evidence of a crime and what they cannot!   And you’d think that our federal cyber crimes units would be smarter than you when it comes to these things, oh wait, they are smarter than you!   Even if they used a USB drive (none of the official reports have mentioned one, from everything I have read), the cloned copy of the server still would provide all of the info needed to conduct the investigation.   I am fairly certain that even if someone used a USB drive to hack into the servers, they didn’t leave it in the server when they were done.   And if they did, the investigators would only have needed to take the USB drive — not the physical server itself!    Funny that Mueller never mentioned not being given access to the DNC’s physical servers as being an obstacle to finding out who hacked it.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You know there is a missing thumb drive that the Clinton campaign put in the mail and it never got to its destination.

Now, THAT&#039;s carelessness. if nothing else. Could it be in the hands of the Russians? Who knows … stranger things have already happened in that regard.&lt;/I&gt;

Yep...

But it&#039;s clear from the evidence that the DNC servers were not hacked, but rather accessed locally..

Which explains why the DNC would not turn over the servers for forensic analysis...

And, when you consider that Hillary was in de-facto charge of the DNC at the time...

Well, it all becomes clear..

&lt;I&gt;Unfortunately, President Trump has zero chance of promoting peace in the ME, much less achieve it.&lt;/I&gt;

I don&#039;t agree but that&#039;s not my point..  

The point is, if he DID accomplish that, none of the haters would give him any credit for it..

True??  Or false??

&lt;I&gt;I base that statement on his past performance which does the opposite of promoting peace.&lt;/I&gt;

Every President in the past decades has said that they would move the US Embassy to Israel&#039;s capital, Jerusalem..

President Trump finally did what  past presidents only paid lip service to...

Good thing??

The problem with the ME is that one of the players (Palestinians) totally and utterly negate their positions by resorting to terrorism.

Until the Palestinians stop the terrorism, there will be no peace and Israel will always have a blank check in dealing with the situation up to, but not including, terrorism itself..

The Palestinians and their support of terrorism are the road blocks to peace..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Let&#039;s be real, Liz.. If President Trump tried to explain what he really meant, then the haters would just twist THAT into some diabolical meaning..&lt;/I&gt;

I mean, honestly...

President Trump could achieve full and fair peace in the middle east, have ZERO unemployment here in the US and personally lead the initiative that puts a group of International astronauts on Mars..

And people would STILL hate him...

So, do you think it&#039;s a wise course or action to always dance to the tune of those people who are so blinded and so hysterical with hate???

Is there ANY logical or rational reason to try and appease them??

No..

President Trump could resign from office today and people, including everyone here, would still attack him, many in the most vile and disgusting ways..

It makes no logical or rational sense to ask President Trump to try appease those who will NEVER be appeased..  To try and please people who, by virtue of their irrational and hysterical hate, will never be pleased...

President Trump does the best he can do.. Ignore the haters whenever possible and just do his job..

Which, considering the state of the economy and the low unemployment and historically low unemployment for teens and minorities...  

Well, he seems to be doing a damn good job..

A damn sight better than ANY of ya&#039;all thought possible..

And a damn sight better than ANYONE here will give him credit for..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And filled with total bullshit!&lt;/I&gt;

Of course you would say that.. You still believe that President Trump colluded with the Russians, even though Mueller cleared him of it..

So, you won&#039;t believe ANY facts that prove your fantasy world wrong..

&lt;I&gt;The DNC servers were not physically removed and taken as evidence because the crime occurred online, not at their physical location! &lt;/I&gt;

Yes, that&#039;s what the DNC *CLAIMS*..  Yet, there is evidence that indicates that the servers were physically accessed via a USB port..  The log files of the data xfers indicated a xfer speed that was far FAR beyond anything that was capable of being online.. But the xfer rate *IS* compatible with a USB direct connect xfer rate...

So, the DNC didn&#039;t want the authorities to learn that the DNC servers were LOCALLY accessed..  So, the DNC refused to let authorities examine the servers..

So much for your claim of &quot;bullshit&quot;...  :eyeroll:</description>

<p>Yes, that's what the DNC *CLAIMS*..  Yet, there is evidence that indicates that the servers were physically accessed via a USB port..  The log files of the data xfers indicated a xfer speed that was far FAR beyond anything that was capable of being online.. But the xfer rate *IS* compatible with a USB direct connect xfer rate...</p>
<p>So, the DNC didn't want the authorities to learn that the DNC servers were LOCALLY accessed..  So, the DNC refused to let authorities examine the servers..</p>
<p>So much for your claim of "bullshit"...  :eyeroll:</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That may be true but then Trump should have made that distinction on any number of occasions.&lt;/I&gt;

No distinction was necessary.. It was plain in his words..

But for those who hate him, they can read into it whatever they want..

See my response to Balthasar regarding &quot;code words&quot; and &quot;dog whistles&quot;...

&lt;I&gt;On any number of occasions President Trump should have CONDEMNED the white supremacists and neo-Nazis and praised the group standing up against that. He didn&#039;t then and he has never done so.&lt;/I&gt;

Why should he dance to the tune of those who hate him??

Let&#039;s be real, Liz.. If President Trump tried to explain what he really meant, then the haters would just twist THAT into some diabolical meaning..

NOTHING that President Trump EVER says is good enough for the haters..  Wouldn&#039;t you agree??  I mean, honestly.. It&#039;s not as if President Trump is dealing with calm, objective and rational people...  No matter WHAT President Trump says, it will never appease the haters..

So, this begs the question.. Why bother trying to appease them??

&lt;I&gt;Balthasar made the point better than I did, Michale.&lt;/I&gt;

Actually no...

He made the point no better than you did because it&#039;s not a valid point.  :D</description>

		<description>Balthy,

&lt;I&gt;Even he wouldn&#039;t be that dumb. He didn&#039;t mention the fact that there were nazis there at all, as if the march with torches never happened. That&#039;s what has most folks dumbfounded. The &quot;fine people on both sides&quot; statement completely left those folks out.&lt;/I&gt;

So, basically you are saying President Trump used &quot;code words&quot; and &quot;dog whistles&quot;..  :eyeroll:

Funny thing about &quot;code words&quot; and &quot;dog whistles&quot;..

They can mean ANYTHING you WANT them to mean...

In this case, since you are a Trump/America hater, you WANT them to mean that President Trump supports Nazis.

:eyeroll:

Only a MORON would believe that the President Trump supports Nazis..

Is that you, Balthasar??  Are you a MORON???</description>

		<description>CB,

&lt;I&gt;You should really read the opriginal article, written by a conservative who lives in Charlottesville and who thinks the statues should really not be taken down; but here&#039;s an extended excerpt that demolishes your argument (all italicized sections are Trump&#039;s words; picking up from the end of the quote you gave):&lt;/I&gt;

Yes, yes.. You can find Trump/America haters who &quot;interpret&quot; President Trump&#039;s words and mind-read what President Trump REALLY meant.

I just read his words.. And what he said was not what you Trump/America haters says he said...</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;I&gt;The above Mueller article is quite long, but VERY in depth...&lt;/i&gt;

And filled with total bullshit!   

The DNC servers were not physically removed and taken as evidence because the crime occurred online, not at their physical location!  It would be like you calling the police to report online identity theft and the police showing up at your home demanding that you give them your wallet and everything in it — they do not do that because it isn’t evidence!  

The servers were cloned and copies were given to law enforcement investigators.  Everything needed to conduct the investigation is included in the cloned copy.   But this author counts on their audience not understanding how criminal investigations into online crimes differs from real world investigations, as his lack of questioning law enforcement why they didn’t take the servers as evidence makes clear.   

And how pathetic have you gotten that you cannot dispute the information, so instead attack the investigators’ credibility simply because they were hired to conduct the investigation by Democrats.  The information in the Steele dossier has been largely verified by information the US intelligence agencies have received from over 16 foreign intelligence agencies that we consider allies.  

That you claim to support law enforcement but are more than willing to throw the FBI under the bus for properly investigating Trump’s campaign shows how little respect you actually have for law enforcement!</description>

See:

https://thebulwark.com/the-charlottesville-hoax-hoax/

You should really read the opriginal article, written by a conservative who lives in Charlottesville and who thinks the statues should really not be taken down; but here&#039;s an extended excerpt that demolishes your argument (all italicized sections are Trump&#039;s words; picking up from the end of the quote you gave):

&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.&lt;/i&gt;

So when he says “very fine people” he is referring to a specific group of protesters, and not only does he keep emphasizing this, but he gets more specific about them.

&lt;i&gt;But not all of those people were Neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. [...] But they were there to protest—excuse me. You take a look, the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.&lt;/i&gt;

He keeps going back to this idea that there was a separate group of protesters that weekend in Charlottesville, ordinary people who merely opposed the removal of Lee’s statue, and he keeps giving that group a specific time and place: in Charlottesville “the night before,” that is, the night of Friday, August 11.

[...]

&lt;i&gt;And you had people, and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.&lt;/i&gt;

All right, so who are these people who were just there to protest the removal of the statues? Who was the group protesting “the night before”?

That’s right. The people marching in Charlottesville the night before were the guys with torches chanting “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us.”

[...]

What if there really was another group of protesters there that day, and that’s who Trump was referring to? Well, there’s the problem. No such group exists. This mythical second group of protesters is like the “second shooter” in conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination. I’ve found people who insist to me that such a group was there because the “Charlottesville Hoax” mythology requires it to exist—but I haven’t found a single shred of actual confirmation. It’s almost as if they have adopted a false memory.

That’s what originally set me off about this Trump claim. I live in the Charlottesville area, and I know very fine people who oppose the removal of the monuments based on high-minded notions about preserving history. I’m one of them. So I know that we weren’t there that night. Only the white nationalists were there.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Not all the people who were there to support the monuments were carrying torches and chanting Nazi slogans..&lt;/I&gt;

That may be true but then Trump should have made that distinction on any number of occasions. 

On any number of occasions President Trump should have CONDEMNED the white supremacists and neo-Nazis and praised the group standing up against that. He didn&#039;t then and he has never done so.

I don&#039;t think we&#039;ll ever hear Trump condemn these hate groups until he&#039;s no longer afraid to condemn them once he is out of office.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;it&#039;s clear that President Trump did not say ANYTHING of the &quot;Nazis are fine people&quot; sort that people are accusing him of....&lt;/i&gt;

Even he wouldn&#039;t be that dumb. He didn&#039;t mention the fact that there were nazis there at all, as if the march with torches never happened. That&#039;s what has most folks dumbfounded. The &quot;fine people on both sides&quot; statement completely left those folks out.

Sorta like leaving clowns out of your description of a circus.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Well, Michale, I don&#039;t think you can say that because it isn&#039;t always - or perhaps even mostly - true.&lt;/I&gt;

It is what the Left said when President Trump made the point that there were good people on both sides of the issue..

No one here would have ANY of that..  Their side was all good, courageous Americans and the other side was ALL BAD Supremacist Nazis...

&lt;I&gt;Making assumptions and generalizations can be a foolish proposition.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, everyone here does that on a DAILY if not HOURLY basis...

&lt;I&gt;You really must stop equating Democrats with people who want the country to lose.&lt;/I&gt;

I call &#039;em as I see &#039;em..  

&lt;I&gt;Can we please start with the premise that Democrats and Republicans and Independents alike as well as everyone in between, up-wing or down-wing wants the country to win.&lt;/I&gt;

Sure.. Just convince everyone else here of it and I&#039;ll go along.. I lead the way on the cutsey name-calling.. 

Time for them to step up.. :D</description>

		<description>Michale,

You really must stop equating Democrats with people who want the country to lose. 

That is the kind of attitude that is very bad for your country and will keep it painfully divided on everything forever.

Can we please start with the premise that Democrats and Republicans and Independents alike as well as everyone in between, up-wing or down-wing wants the country to win. The deep disagreement is in how to achieve that win.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&#039;Sides.. If everyone protesting the monument removal was a white supremacist nazi, then everyone protesting against the white supremacist nazis was antifa..&lt;/I&gt;

Well, Michale, I don&#039;t think you can say that because it isn&#039;t always - or perhaps even mostly - true.

I would happily protest against white supremacists and Nazis and such  and I am certainly against fascism and fascists. However, I&#039;m not a member of Antifa and never will be.

Making assumptions and generalizations can be a foolish proposition.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Barr says he sees a legal path for census citizenship query

EDGEFIELD, S.C. (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he sees a legal path to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite a Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said the Trump administration will take action in the coming days that he believes will allow the government to ask the controversial question. Barr would not detail the administration’s plans, though a senior official said President Donald Trump is expected to issue a presidential memorandum to the Commerce Department instructing it to include the question.&lt;/B&gt;

Looks like Democrats are going to lose... AGAIN...

And President Trump and this country are going to WIN.... AGAIN...  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It means that there&#039;s a chink in the armor. &lt;/I&gt;

So, when a Democrat attacks HuffPoo, you think that THAT is a chink in the Democrat armor??

&lt;I&gt;It means that even Fox is getting a bit fed up with trying to carry water for this guy.&lt;/I&gt;

Is that what it really means??

Or is that what you WISH it to mean??  :D

&lt;I&gt;And everyone protesting in the US in the 1950&#039;s was a communist. I&#039;ve seen this movie before. It doesn&#039;t end well.&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s YOUR guys&#039; movie...

YOU were the ones saying there were NO good people on the monunments&#039; side and that AntiFa terrorists are &quot;courageous Americans&quot;...

If you don&#039;t like the movie, quit MAKING the frakin&#039; movie!

It&#039;s not Bloomberg&#039;s opinion..

It&#039;s Neil&#039;s..

And yes, it&#039;s clearly based on hatred and bigotry..

&lt;I&gt;Seems that only a small number of folks are capable of discerning the twists and turns of the Trump presidency...&lt;/I&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Can you point me to the polls that show people are happy with the state of U.S. Steel - i.e. what I was talking about.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. You cherry pick a bad example and try to paint the entire President Trump economy with that ONE example..

Whereas I put out the mood of the American people over the WHOLE economy..  And the majority of Americans approve...

&lt;I&gt;If we are talking about Trump&#039;s popularity, the vast majority of people, also according to RCP, disapprove of him.&lt;/I&gt;

We&#039;re talking President Trump&#039;s work on the economy and the majority of Americans approve..

In other words, when ya&#039;all claimed that President Trump would destroy the US economy ya&#039;all were WRONG....

		<description>In more &quot;Everything Trump Touches Turns to Crap&quot; news:

1. U.S. Steel is taking a complete thrashing despite getting the tariffs (i.e. new taxes on Americans) they asked for. It turns out that there is overcapacity and their mills are far less efficient than e.g. Nucor&#039;s

2. The auto industry, already suffering from higher steel prices in the U.S. (see [1]) has overproduced and inventory is building up at dealers. Note that auto sales are reported by dealers *buying* cars from the manufacturers, not consumers buying cars from the dealers, so the downturn is building up.

3. The car manufacturers are likely to slow production, leading to an even greater overcapacity in steel, and yet lower prices for U.S. Steel.

4. Everything Trump touches turns to crap. He is totally clueless about the modern economy, and frankly, the modern World - make 1950 great again is failing as predicted.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;There was a time when being pro-America was a given for politicians in both main parties. Of course, President Reagan put it beautifully when he talked of a &quot;shining city on a hill.&quot; But I also loved Bill Clinton&#039;s great line, &quot;There&#039;s nothing wrong with America that can&#039;t be fixed by what&#039;s right with America&quot;

But this past week, this July 4, we saw that those days are gone. Yes, we still have a Republican president who, like Ronald Reagan, is obviously proud of America and happy to say it, to celebrate it. But today&#039;s Democrats? No. They&#039;re embarrassed by America, far from celebrating America. They want to tear it down and turn it into something else.


That was the background for President Trump&#039;s &quot;Salute to America&quot; on Independence Day. The Democrats couldn&#039;t wait to attack it.

&quot;Donald Trump, I believe, is incapable of celebrating what makes America great because I don&#039;t think he gets it,&quot; former Vice President Joe Biden said.

Okay. Here&#039;s some of what the president actually said:

President Trump: Together, we are part of one of the greatest stories ever told: The story of America ... It is the spirit, daring and defiance, excellence and adventure, courage and confidence, loyalty and love that built this country into the most exceptional nation in the history of the world, and our nation is stronger today than it ever was before.

I think you&#039;ll find, Joe China, that President Trump &quot;gets&quot; what makes America great better than a knackered old swamp creature who took billions of dollars in bribes in the form of payments to his family businesses from America&#039;s No. 1 enemy. You are the last person to lecture anyone on patriotism. #JoeChina!

But it wasn&#039;t just Biden. It was all of them. &quot;How dare you celebrate America&quot; cried the left. &quot;It&#039;s not who we are.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Facts and reality are sinking in..  :D

&lt;B&gt;Liz Peek: Democrats confront the unthinkable -- Trump’s reelection

Democrats and their liberal media pals are in full panic mode as it dawns on them: Donald Trump could actually win reelection.

Despite fielding an unprecedented number of would-be candidates, Democrats have so far failed to find a standard-bearer likely to unify their party. As the recent debates showed, the party has moved left, and further left still, leaving the majority of Americans behind as they try to placate Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and other noisy progressives.

At the same time, the better-than-expected June jobs report confirms the economy remains strong, dampening ceaseless speculation (and left-wing hope) about a pending recession. Meanwhile, relentless hounding of the president by his political foes has had zero impact on his popularity among Republicans. If anything, the unimaginable vitriol has further hardened his support.

Maybe the intelligentsia is not so intelligent after all.

The liberal media is working feverishly to undermine the president, critical of his every move. They tell us that his venturing into North Korea to shake hands with Kim Jong Un delivered a “propaganda win” to the Korean dictator. To whom? To the oppressed citizens of that miserable country who have been told their noble leader’s father was so pure that he never needed to defecate? Or that he scored 11 holes-in-one in his first round of golf? We’re worried about feeding that absurd propaganda machine?

Most Americans likely saw Trump’s move as characteristically gutsy and unconventional, but also a gesture that might someday bear fruit. Moreover, many saw it as a refreshing departure from the uber-cautious foreign policy of the Obama years.

Democrats and their media pals were also churlish about the president’s Fourth of July celebration in Washington. The New York Times described it as a “made-for-television production starring America’s military weaponry” and Democrats said parading tanks in the nation’s capital was the hallmark of a tyrant. Please don’t tell President Emmanuel Macron; it was the Bastille Day parade in democratic France, complete with military hardware, that inspired Trump’s celebration.

It says something that the press was rhapsodic about the Pride Parade in New York but could not find anything good to say about a parade celebrating our nation’s military.

Here’s the bitter truth for Democrats: the unending slamming of the president is not working. It was announced last week that President Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised $105 million for his reelection bid, far surpassing the amounts raised by any predecessor or by any Democrat hoping to unseat him.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/liz-peek-democrats-confront-the-unthinkable-trumps-reelection

Democrats simply CAN&#039;T win against President Trump..

As I have said again and again.. Some might even say ad nasuem..  :D

Democrats&#039; best course of action is to cede 2020 and put all their efforts into 2024 where they won&#039;t have to run against President Trump...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Christine Pelosi warns it&#039;s &#039;quite likely that some of our faves are implicated&#039; in &#039;horrific&#039; Epstein case

Christine Pelosi, a Democratic National Committee official and daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warned conspicuously on Saturday evening that it is &quot;quite likely that some of our faves are implicated&quot; in the &quot;horrific&quot; sex-trafficking case against politically connected financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein is due in court following his sudden arrest Saturday in New York on new sex-trafficking charges involving allegations dating to the early 2000s, according to law enforcement officials. He has been accused of paying underage girls for massages and sexually abusing them at his mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., and in New York City. His 72-acre private estate on the Virgin Islands, a home said to be nicknamed &quot;Orgy Island,&quot; also has been under scrutiny.

&quot;This Epstein case is horrific and the young women deserve justice,&quot; Pelosi tweeted. &quot;It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may - whether on Republicans or Democrats.&quot;

It was unclear exactly to whom Pelosi was referring, but Epstein has long been connected with high-profile figures, including Britain&#039;s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton. Court documents obtained by Fox News in 2016 showed that Clinton took at least 26 trips flying aboard Epstein&#039;s private jet, known as the &quot;Lolita Express,&quot; and apparently ditched his Secret Service detail on some of the excursions. Records showed that President Trump may have flown on the jet at least once.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Soon afterward, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer now facing criminal charges in three cases, produced an affidavit from another accuser, Julie Swetnick. She claimed to have attended more than 10 house parties in the early 1980s at which Kavanaugh and a friend became inebriated and sexually assaulted women, and got them drunk so they could be gang-raped.

Hemingway and Severino call the allegations “obviously ridiculous,” saying “no one could have hidden such crimes for decades, much less a man who went on to hold high-profile positions in the White House and then became a judge on the second-most prominent federal court.” Kavanaugh said the charges were from “the Twilight Zone.”

When NBC’s Kate Snow interviewed Swetnick, the network acknowledged that some of her comments on camera “differ from her written statement last week.” Swetnick backed off from saying Kavanaugh had spiked the punch, recalling only that he had handed out the punch.

“Despite Swetnick’s obvious credibility problems, many in the media continued to air her accusations,” the book says.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Soon afterward, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer now facing criminal charges in three cases, produced an affidavit from another accuser, Julie Swetnick.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;In any case, the idea that certain people do not deserve free speech protections is now as popular among the far left as it always was among the far right. But it didn’t use to be this way: Leftists were once firm defenders of free speech for all, even for Nazis. Amazingly, in fact, when the Nazis came to campus in the 1960s, they did so at the left’s invitation.&lt;/I&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Masked protesters known simultaneously as the “black bloc” (because they wear black clothes and hoods to mask their identities) and “antifa” (as in anti-fascist) smashed the windows of a local Starbucks and a Bank of America.

		<description>&lt;B&gt;CrowdStrikeOut: Mueller’s Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims

But a close examination of the report shows that none of those headline assertions are supported by the report’s evidence or other publicly available sources. They are further undercut by investigative shortcomings and the conflicts of interest of key players involved: 

The report uses qualified and vague language to describe key events, indicating that Mueller and his investigators do not actually know for certain whether Russian intelligence officers stole Democratic Party emails, or how those emails were transferred to WikiLeaks.

The report&#039;s timeline of events appears to defy logic. According to its narrative, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced the publication of Democratic Party emails not only before he received the documents but before he even communicated with the source that provided them.

There is strong reason to doubt Mueller’s suggestion that an alleged Russian cutout called Guccifer 2.0 supplied the stolen emails to Assange.
Mueller’s decision not to interview Assange – a central figure who claims Russia was not behind the hack – suggests an unwillingness to explore avenues of evidence on fundamental questions.

U.S. intelligence officials cannot make definitive conclusions about the hacking of the Democratic National Committee computer servers because they did not analyze those servers themselves. Instead, they relied on the forensics of CrowdStrike, a private contractor for the DNC that was not a neutral party, much as “Russian dossier” compiler Christopher Steele, also a DNC contractor, was not a neutral party. This puts two Democrat-hired contractors squarely behind underlying allegations in the affair – a key circumstance that Mueller ignores.

Further, the government allowed CrowdStrike and the Democratic Party&#039;s legal counsel to submit redacted records, meaning CrowdStrike and not the government decided what could be revealed or not regarding evidence of hacking.

Mueller’s report conspicuously does not allege that the Russian government carried out the social media campaign. Instead it blames, as Mueller said in his closing remarks, &quot;a private Russian entity&quot; known as the Internet Research Agency (IRA).

Mueller also falls far short of proving that the Russian social campaign was sophisticated, or even more than minimally related to the 2016 election. As with the collusion and Russian hacking allegations, Democratic officials had a central and overlooked hand in generating the alarm about Russian social media activity.

John Brennan, then director of the CIA, played a seminal and overlooked role in all facets of what became Mueller’s investigation: the suspicions that triggered the initial collusion probe; the allegations of Russian interference; and the intelligence assessment that purported to validate the interference allegations that Brennan himself helped generate. Yet Brennan has since revealed himself to be, like CrowdStrike and Steele, hardly a neutral party -- in fact a partisan with a deep animus toward Trump.

None of this means that the Mueller report&#039;s core finding of &quot;sweeping and systematic&quot; Russian government election interference is necessarily false. But his report does not present sufficient evidence to substantiate it. This shortcoming has gone overlooked in the partisan battle over two more highly charged aspects of Mueller&#039;s report: potential Trump-Russia collusion and Trump&#039;s potential obstruction of the resulting investigation. As Mueller prepares to testify before House committees later this month, the questions surrounding his claims of a far-reaching Russian influence campaign are no less important. They raise doubts about the genesis and perpetuation of Russiagate and the performance of those tasked with investigating it.&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;WASHINGTON — Congress sent President Trump a $4.6 billion humanitarian aid package on Thursday after Speaker Nancy Pelosi capitulated to Republicans and Democratic moderates and dropped her insistence on stronger protections for migrant children in overcrowded border shelters.

The vote came after a striking display of Democratic disunity and was a setback for Ms. Pelosi. Until Thursday, she had proved adept at navigating the complexities of a caucus rived by powerful progressive and moderate factions that often work at cross purposes. But their priorities clashed, the liberal flank was vanquished and the speaker — who had put her reputation on the line, calling herself a “lioness” out to protect children as she held out for stronger protections in the migrant facilities that house them — grudgingly had to accept defeat.

The final vote, 305 to 102, included far more Republicans in favor, 176, than Democrats, 129. It left House liberals furious.&lt;/B&gt;

So much winning for President Trump and America...  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If you have any facts to support your claim, then I would definitely consider CRS is wrong...&lt;/I&gt;

Of course CRS is NOT wrong about his claim that whoever puts butts in the seats should get paid more..

&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s Work + Experience + Name Recognition = Pay&lt;/I&gt;

At least, that&#039;s the formula for Hollywood pay...

Other fields also have similar formulas

I have yet to read ANY facts that conclusively prove women are paid less **SOLELY** because they are woman.. Without any other mitigating factor..

The BEST example of this is the US Military...

An Male E-9 makes more than an Female E-3, even if they do the exact same work..  Just as a Female E-9 would make more than a Male E-3.....

Gender has NOTHING to do with pay discrepancies..

Any pay discrepancy can easily be explained logically and rationally once all the facts are known..</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s play a game..

An actor, a woman, a newcomer to the business, has the leading role in a movie..  

An actor, a man, with hundreds of movies and dozens of academy awards under his belt, has a bit part in the same movie..

The woman is paid $500,000 for her starring role..

The man is paid $10,000,000 for his bit part...

Fair???  Not fair???

Hell, we don&#039;t have to even play a game..

In 1978 Margot Kidder, the female star of SUPERMAN was paid $400,000.  She worked a year and a half on the role and was on screen all but minutes...

Marlon Brando spent 3 weeks on his role as Jor El and had maybe 20 mins of screen time..  

Brando was paid 3.7 million..

Fair?? Not Fair???

The problem with those who scream hysterically &lt;B&gt;EQUAL WORK, EQUAL PAY!!!&lt;/B&gt; are simply using the wrong formula..

It&#039;s not Equal Work = Equal Pay...

It&#039;s Work + Experience + Name Recognition = Pay</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;this may come as a shock to you but the uswnt generate more revenue and garner higher TV ratings than the us men, but get paid less ONLY because they are women. Still ok with that or do you have a reason that is true?&lt;/I&gt;

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;You have the gall to equate someone ALMOST losing their cap when they crossed Into the other side’s area to a peace protester being mowed down and killed by a white supremacist in his vehicle!?! &lt;/I&gt;

In Chancellorsville, AntiFa started the violence LONG before the Antifa terrorist was run over by the white supremacist asshole..

As a matter of fact, if AntiFa hadn&#039;t been there (they had no permit to gather) then the AntiFa terrorist who was killed would still be alive..

So, it&#039;s perfectly factual and logical to conclude that AntiFa is responsible for their comrade&#039;s death...</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;Okay, Michale, this is one of the things I am frustrated about when it comes to Biden explaining something. He often leaves things out, like the word &#039;illegal&#039;. :)&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. It frustrates me when EVERYONE on the Left does it..

But it also heartens me because it&#039;s a concession that they don&#039;t have a factual rebuttal to the REAL argument, so they have to make up a fantasy argument and then try and rebut THAT..

&lt;I&gt;As you know, he is NOT for decriminalizing illegal border crossings.&lt;/I&gt;

I know you have said he isn&#039;t.. I don&#039;t really think he is..

But I have yet to find any factual indication that he has refuted and disavowed the plan to decriminalize immigration crimes and create Open Border...

If you have any links you can pass along that would show Biden doing that, I would LOVE to see them...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Well, so much for stunning our allies with genius.&lt;/i&gt;

So???

Another Trump/America hater says something mean about President Trump..

Obviously not much of an &quot;ally&quot; is he??

He&#039;s just still mad that we kicked the Brits in their asses out of our country some odd hundreds of years ago...

But, of course, YOU love it.. That&#039;s because you are a Trump/America hater too..</description>

		<description>Balthy,

&lt;I&gt;Of course what would never occur to either of you is that Trump caused it.&lt;/I&gt;

My gods, man.. You are so in the grips of HHPTDS...

Iran has been going for nukes since Donald Trump was a Democrat!!!

And YOU claim &quot;It&#039;s all Trump&#039;s fault&quot;!!!!?????

You are so far gone, it&#039;s pitiful...</description>

&lt;i&gt;If it&#039;s true that the women generate more revenue than do the man, then according to my [83], they should be paid accordingly, and if they&#039;re not, ...&lt;/i&gt;

Yah, that&#039;s the thing...

&lt;i&gt;then they&#039;re being cheated.&lt;/i&gt;

So, the surprising part to me is: you seem to imply there should be some sort permissible action by the state to address this sort of &quot;cheating&quot;, or... ?</description>

But scariest and most revelatory of all is that I&#039;m NOT shocked that you ARE shocked!  Clearly, economic stuff, even the most rudimentary, sails right over your head.</description>

This may come as a shock to YOU, but I don&#039;t follow women&#039;s soccer (or mens either for that matter), so I have no reason to be shocked.  I have not the slightest idea how much revenue any of them generate.

But pls explain to me what the hell anything you said has to do with my contention that all athletes should be paid based on how many tickets they sell?

 If it&#039;s true that the women generate more revenue than do the man, then according to my [83], they should be paid accordingly, and if they&#039;re not, then they&#039;re being cheated.

If you didn&#039;t glean that fact from my [83], maybe you should read it again.  It&#039;s not that long.</description>

maybe michale will do it.

@crs, 

this may come as a shock to you but the uswnt generate more revenue and garner higher TV ratings than the us men, but get paid less ONLY because they are women. Still ok with that or do you have a reason that is true?

&lt;I&gt;If Donald were smart he&#039;d make the women get paid to equal the men, then dare them not to show up at the white house to commemorate the change.&lt;/I&gt;

Oh, indeed! It would take too long for the WH to come up with something as special as that, if ever. You should send them an email, Joshua, or just call the WH. Seriously.</description>

&lt;I&gt;Just like at Chancellorsville....&lt;/i&gt;

So I should expect to read about a peaceful protester being killed by an extremist, right?

&lt;B&gt; A masked antifa protester was seen attempting to snatch a “MAGA” hat from a Trump supporter who crossed into the All Out DC side of Saturday’s protests.&lt;/b&gt;

Someone tried to grab the cap off of a far-right protester’s head when he ignored the line the police had set up to separate the two groups and crossed into the far-left’s side.   THAT is what you are clutching your pearls in horror over?!?   

You have the gall to equate someone ALMOST losing their cap when they crossed Into the other side’s area to a peace protester being mowed down and killed by a white supremacist in his vehicle!?!  Someone knocking your cap off your head when you rush into an area you are not supposed to be in is the same as being brutally murdered for exercising your right to protest?   

Wow, a gentle breeze must feel like a million razor blades slicing into you with skin so thin and fragile, you poor thing!</description>

		<description>There is no reason whatsoever why the women soccer players should be paid exactly the same as the men. Professional athletes, as with ALL people in the entertainment business, should be paid on the basis of how many butts they attract in the seats.

The fact that they&#039;re playing the same sport has no relevance whatsoever to the pay levels between men and women.  They should both get paid based on how much gate revenue they generate.</description>

		<description>And equal pay for the USWNT.

Rose Lavelle&#039;s goal was one of the best I&#039;ve seen for years, and to do it with the pressure of a World Cup Final is true spirit.

I don&#039;t even know if I can watch the USMNT play Mexico tonight - they&#039;ve been dragging through every game.</description>

		<description>Michale,

Your quote from Biden&#039;s op-ed on migration from Latin America:

&lt;I&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;Last week gave us more evidence that President Trump’s morally bankrupt re-election strategy relies on vilifying immigrants to score political points while implementing policies that ensure asylum seekers and refugees keep arriving at our border.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;I&gt;I can&#039;t get past that..President Trump&#039;s is solely and completely and unequivocally concentrating on ILLEGAL immigrants..President Trump has never vilified LEGAL immigrants..As long as Biden can&#039;t debate the REAL issue (ILLEGAL immigrants) he will never be factually accurate..
The issue is, was and always has been.. the ILLEGAL immigrants.. The criminals...&lt;/I&gt;

Okay, Michale, this is one of the things I am frustrated about when it comes to Biden explaining something. He often leaves things out, like the word &#039;illegal&#039;. :)

His entire op-ed is about illegal immigrants so he was talking about the real issues having to do with illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, just as he spoke about them with Chris Cuomo on CNN in a very Bidenesque lengthy, wide-reaching interview.

As you know, he is NOT for decriminalizing illegal border crossings.

You had to read past the first paragraph you quoted to realize he was talking primarily about illegal immigrants and how Trump&#039;s policies are counterproductive.

I hope you read the rest and let me know what you think, knowing now as you do, that it&#039;s about US policy toward the crisis at your southern border, among other things such as the Dreamers and what he would do about that.

And, when you read it, I hope you won&#039;t go off assuming things about it that are just wrong like most everybody else with anything Biden says or writes. It&#039;s like long comment, as long as our comment are sometimes, we just can say everything, and people go off assuming things they shouldn&#039;t!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Iran is striving for a nuclear arsenal...&lt;/i&gt;

Of COURSE they are! You and the golden genius there can be so thick. 

Of course what would never occur to either of you is that Trump caused it.</description>
