Kick I believe Russ's point is that your incessant whining about the people on this board and your opinion regarding other posters isn't discussing politics, it's discussing us. Because the point ISN'T Trump's actions.. The point it YOUR hypocrisy.. You're proving Russ's point that you're just here to troll. The point is that you get your jollies trolling the people on this board with your bullshit versus the actual discussion of political issues. Trump is a political issue, while none of the posters on this board are. Spot on! Michale makes my case for me, yet still tries to deny any of it is true! The lengths one must go to maintain that level of denial must be exhausting. I love John Mulaney’s Horse in the Hospital analogy! He’s finally getting the recognition he deserves as an incredibly talented comic.

It is simply not clear what the president meant when he dictated the message he wanted Lewandowski to give to Sessions about Mueller.

Not clear to who? Brain-dead coma patients, maybe? Republicans keep trying to argue that no one can tell if Trump is coherent when he makes his wild statements or if he is just in a coked-out-crazy stupor; which is an odd thing to say about someone who is known as “a stable genius”.

Trump ordered Lewandowski to tell Sessions to unrecuse himself or that Sessions was fired! It really isn’t that difficult of a message — the language is astoundingly coherent, especially for Trump.

Balthasar 217 Hey, how about we talk about the massive demonstrations against the Republican governor of Puerto Rico? Just for kicks. Just for Kick!? Well, oh boy and okay! There is a massive protest against Rosselló who is being asked to resign because of a 889-page profanity-laced, misogynistic, homophobic online chat being referred to as "Rickyleaks" and/or "Chatgate" where he and nine other male members of his administration: * Used vulgar references regarding Puerto Rican star Ricky Martin's sexuality * Referred to Melissa Mark-Viverito -- a political ally of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, running for the Popular Democratic Party nomination to challenge Rosselló -- using the Spanish word for "whore" * Referred to San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz -- who has announced her intent to run against Rosselló in 2020 -- saying, "she’s off her meds" and following that up with, "either that, or she's a tremendous HP," the Spanish initials for "son/daughter of a bitch." * Referred to the head of the federal oversight board as a "kitten." * Joked that a female member of the territory's senate belonged in a whorehouse. * Joked amongst themselves that a female member of Puerto Rico's senate "belonged in a whorehouse." So it's perfectly understandable why you'd think he is a Republican! The fact is that tens of thousands of Puerto Rico's people have discovered through "Rickyleaks" and/or "Chatgate" that the man who portrayed himself as a gentle and even meek family man has been exposed as nothing more than a fraud because that's how you take down a con in the end. El fin! :)

Kick: [151], neilm [205] John Mulaney's "Horse in the Hospital" riff was brilliant and hilarious. It was also from 2017 and thus is, perhaps, a bit too optimistic about the stain that is Blotus. But it's terrific.

Too true. Perhaps John Mulaney will do an updated bit called "Horse Shit All Over the Hospice."

Mulaney could borrow some of the America Hater's descriptions and call it "This American Carnage" or "American Garbage Death Spiral." There really is a tweet for everything:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The Navy Yard shooting is a horrible disaster. If we don't clean up OUR COUNTRY of the garbage soon, we are just going to do a death spiral!

Here's the latest - Living Wages Are Good For Ontario's Businesses And Taxpayers "Undoubtedly many members did oppose an increase in the minimum wage to $15 and other employment reforms. Others felt that the increase to $15 from $11.60 in 2016 was too rapid after years in which the rate was almost static. Those opinions are certainly valid. But increases to minimum wages, in Ontario and around the world, give rise to promises of job losses and bankruptcy with tedious predictability. In fact, such increases, as in 2018, often do not result in the doom that is predicted. In July 2018, unemployment in Ontario fell to its lowest level in 14 years. A rapid increase from $11.60 to $14 has caused no measurable negative effects on total employment." Another great success story!

So, Blathy.... PolitiFact, perhaps wisely, didn't dive into the marriage question after Trump's Wednesday remark, but rather went to the Star Tribune to ask about its attempts to gather facts needed to reach a conclusion. The Minnesota paper's political editor told PolitiFact his interest in the marriage controversy began because his reporters "were not getting a lot of answers" from Omar on her incorrectly filed tax returns, in which she claimed to be married to her current husband, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, when she in fact was not. About your alleged "debunking"??? Got any facts to support the claim that Ormen's marriage to her brother has been "debunked"??? Any facts at all???

The Case of Al Franken
A close look at the accusations against the former senator.

Last month, in Minneapolis, I climbed the stairs of a row house to find Al Franken, Minnesota’s disgraced former senator, wandering around in jeans and stocking feet. It was a sunny day, but the shades were mostly drawn. Takeout containers of hummus and carrot sticks were set out on the kitchen table. His wife, Franni Bryson, was stuck in their apartment in Washington, D.C., with a cold, and he had evidently done the best he could to be hospitable. But the place felt like the kind of man cave where someone hides out from the world, which is more or less what Franken has been doing since he resigned, in December, 2017, amid accusations of sexual impropriety.

There had been occasional sightings of him: in Washington, people mentioned having glimpsed him riding the Metro or browsing alone in a bookstore; there was gossip that he had fallen into a depression, and had been seen in a fetal position on a friend’s couch. But Franken had experienced one of the most abrupt downfalls in recent political memory. He had been perhaps the most recognizable figure in the Senate, in part because he’d entered it as a celebrity: a best-selling author and a former writer and performer on “Saturday Night Live.” Now Franken was just one more face in a gallery of previously powerful men who had been brought down by the #MeToo movement, and whom no one wanted to hear from again. America had ghosted him.

Hay Blathy,

You said that Orman's incestuous marriage to her brother was debunked??

Ilhan Omar Marriage Flummoxes Media Fact-Checkers
The 'baseless smear' that can't be debunked

Media outlets scrambled to prove false the accusation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) married her brother after President Donald Trump mentioned it, but none have been able to definitively reach an answer, largely due to Omar's unwillingness to provide information.

Trump was asked about the accusation that Omar's husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was also her brother during a scrum with reporters last Wednesday and said he had heard talk that she married her brother but knew "nothing about it."

National media had largely kept away from judging the merits of the accusation that she was related to her second husband, which have circulated since her entry into politics in 2016, but after Trump's comment many came to quick conclusions. CNN's Jim Acosta jumped in immediately to criticize Trump for diving in on "disgusting lies." The Daily Beast‘s Will Sommer published a lengthy piece on Friday that did little to nothing to debunk what he calls a "baseless smear."

The closest thing to evidence against the claim presented in Sommer's piece is a reference to a time Omar showed a Star Tribune reporter pictures on her cell phone of immigration documents with a list of members of her family. Sommer's piece fails to mention that Omar declined to provide copies of any of the documents to the reporter or allow him to make record of the information he was briefly allowed to view.

In key Senate races, Democrats buck leftward tilt on issues

In Arizona, a top Senate target for Democrats, Kelly already has taken pains to distance himself from presidential contenders like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. He’s come out against Medicare for All, saying millions of people like their private health insurance, and against the plan to curb climate change called the Green New Deal. He’s aiming to follow Sen. Kyrsten Sinema who ended decades of GOP dominance in Arizona last year by staying clear of her party’s left wing.

“I don’t like people going to their political and partisan corners and not working across the aisle to get things done,” Kelly told The Associated Press when he announced his candidacy in February.

Bill Clinton was walking along the beach when he stumbled upon a Genie's lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and lo-and-behold, a Genie appeared. Bill was amazed and asked if he got three wishes. The Genie said, "Nope...Due to inflation, constant downswing, low wages in third world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So...What'll it be?" Bill didn't hesitate. He said, "I want to be remembered for bringing peace to the Middle East, instead of that other stuff with Monica, and Jennifer, and the rest of those women. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other." The Genie looked at the map of the Middle East and exclaimed, "Jeez, Fella! These people have been at war for thousands of years. I'm good, but not THAT good. I don't think it can be done. Make another wish." Bill thought for a minute and said, "You know, people really don't like my wife. Even though she got elected, they call her a carpetbagger. They think she's mean, ugly, and pushes me around. I wish for her to be the most beautiful woman in the world and I want everybody to like her. That's what I want." The Genie let out a long sigh and said, "Lemme see that map again." hehehehehehehehehehehehehe

“We are not investigating you, sir,” Comey told Trump, an assurance that “seemed to quiet him,” the former director remarked in his book.

That statement seems undercut by the fact that Comey typed up his notes on his laptop in his government vehicle less than five minutes after he walked out of Trump Tower, according to a heavily redacted Jan. 7, 2017, email to his top aides. Comey self-classified the notes at the “SECRET” level.

“I executed the session exactly as planned,” Comey reported back to his “sensitive matter team.”

Comey lied throughout...

Funny how ya'all LOVE Comey, even though he lied throughout..

Hell, ya'all love Comey BECAUSE he lied.... :eyeroll:

Ironic..

By: Michale

Michale — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:07:05 +0000

Comey also withheld the facts that the dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign (Comey had known this since October 2016, if not earlier), that it was compiled by a private foreign contractor, and that it was not a product of the U.S. government. The omissions led Trump to believe the contents of the dossier came from U.S. intelligence and were taken seriously by serious people in the government. If he had known otherwise, he could have easily dismissed the information as biased and unreliable — and questioned why Comey was even bothering to conduct such a briefing.

Seems kinda important for Comey to be honest and tell President Elect Trump that the intelligence was nothing but opposition research from the losing campaign.

Of course, Comey lied.. And lied.. And lied...

But ya'all don't mind people who lie..

As long as they lie to the RIGHT people... :eyeroll:

Michale — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:03:52 +0000

Comey limited his briefing to the lurid rumor about prostitutes in a Moscow hotel, while omitting the fact that he had signed a wiretap warrant to eavesdrop on one of Trump’s campaign advisers based on other parts of the dossier.

Comey also failed to tell the president-elect that Flynn was under investigation along with Carter Page. In other words, Comey left the president in the dark on the most substantive assertions of the dossier.

The FBI was investigating Trump’s campaign “in hope of making a case on him,” McCarthy said. “That is why Comey told Trump only about the salacious allegation involving prostitutes in a Moscow hotel; he did not tell the president-elect either that the main thrust of the dossier was Trump’s purported espionage conspiracy with the Kremlin, nor that the FBI had gone to the [FISA court] to get surveillance warrants based on the dossier.”

“Make no mistake,” McCarthy added, “the investigation was always about Donald Trump, from Day One."

Yep... Even while the campaign was going on, Candidate Trump was illegally investigated in hopes of creating an "insurance policy" that could be used if the unthinkable happened.. If Trump actually WON the election.....

The fact that their "policy" failed after Trump was elected simply proves how utterly and completely stoopid and incompetent these Trump/America haters are...

In his memoir, Comey said he flew to New York on Jan. 6, 2017, to give the president-elect a private “defensive briefing” — to "tell him what Russia had done to try to help elect him.”

But there was more to it than that, in light of Comey’s meeting in the Oval Office the day before with Obama, Biden and the other Cabinet officials. Their plan to brief Trump, which Obama approved, included disclosing allegations from the dossier about the president-elect.

As the top law enforcement official in the room, Comey was chosen to confront Trump with "the material" that accused him of being compromised by Russia and engaging in a criminal conspiracy with Moscow to hack the election. The morning before flying to New York, Comey met at FBI headquarters with a group of counterespionage officials and agents who were read in on the plan — code-named the “sensitive matter team” — for an update on the allegations against Trump and the overall Russia investigation.

Once again.. Odumbo KNEW and APPROVED the plan to illegally investigate the freely, fairly, legally and duly elected President Of The United States in a vain attempt to find something... ANYTHING to subvert the will of the people..

When Horowitz releases his report, Odumbo's legacy will be in tatters..

Knowledgeable sources inside the Trump White House say Comey carved out an extraordinary new position for Ferrante, which allowed him to remain on reserve status at the FBI while working in the White House as a cybersecurity adviser.

“In an unprecedented action, Comey created a new FBI reserve position for Ferrante, enabling him to have an ongoing relationship with the agency, retaining his clearances and enabling him to come back in [to bureau headquarters],” said a former National Security Council official who requested anonymity.

“Between the election and April 2017, when Ferrante finally left the White House, the Trump NSC division supervisor was not allowed to get rid of Ferrante,” he added, "and Ferrante continued working — in direct conflict with the no-contact policy between the White House and the Department of Justice.”

Through a spokeswoman at FTI Consulting, which maintains the BuzzFeed contract, Ferrante declined to comment.

Another FBI official, Jordan Rae Kelly, who worked closely with Mueller when he headed the bureau, replaced Ferrante upon his White House exit (though she signed security logs for him to continue entering the White House as a visitor while he was working for BuzzFeed). Kelly left the White House last year and joined Ferrante at FTI Consulting.

Just a few days later, on May 9, Trump unceremoniously fired the FBI director. In response, Comey’s deputy McCabe ordered agents to formally open investigative files on Trump for espionage and obstruction of justice. “It’s pretty clear that Comey’s firing is what prompted McCabe’s fury," former federal prosecutor and independent counsel Solomon L. Wisenberg said.

McCabe’s former aide Page admitted in her closed-door congressional interview that, at the time her boss ordered the investigations, they couldn't connect Trump to the Russia conspiracy, and that “it still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing” there. In fact, her lead partner on the case, Peter Strzok, confessed in a text: “My gut sense and concern is there’s no big there, there.”

Once again.. NO 'there' there.. It was a big nothing-burger... And the illegal Democrat cabal acknowledged this in private at the beginning..

The illegal Democrat cabal figured they could use this as an excuse to dig deep into President Trumps past..

And they were SURE that they would find SOMETHING to take down the President..

The IG’s report, which is expected to be released in early September, will shine new light on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, given that Horowitz and his team have examined more than 1 million records and conducted more than 100 interviews, including sit-downs with Comey and other current and former FBI and Justice Department personnel. The period covering Comey’s activities is believed to run from early January 2017 to early May 2017, when Comey was fired and his deputy Andrew McCabe, as the acting FBI director, formally opened full counterintelligence and obstruction investigations of the president.

Although Horowitz has focused primarily on whether the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in its applications for surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, he has pursued other related angles, including whether Comey personally misled the president and leaked classified FBI information about him, the officials said.

Smoking guns aplenty... :D

What remains unclear is why Comey would take such extraordinary steps against a sitting president. The Mueller report concluded there was no basis for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theories. Comey himself was an early skeptic of the Steele dossier -- the opposition research memos paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that were the road map of collusion theories – which he dismissed as “salacious and unverified.”

Republicans including House Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Devin Nunes believe that Comey, like his top counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, was attempting to “stop” the Trump presidency for political reasons.

“You have the culmination of the ultimate spying, where you have the FBI director spying on the president, taking notes [and] illegally leaking those notes of classified information” to anti-Trump media, Nunes said in a recent interview. His panel is one of two House committees scheduled to hear testimony from Mueller on Wednesday.

Basically, what we had was an illegal Democrat Cabal trying to prevent the free, fair and legal election of a President they simply did not like..

Once THAT plan failed, once their "insurance policy" crashed and burned, this illegal Democrat cabal worked to overthrow the will of the people.. The illegal Democrat cabal worked to remove a fairly, freely, legally and duly elected President Of The United States..

I am glad they failed.. Because the result would have been a real shooting war..

And since the illegal Democrat Cabal side has a well-documented aversion to guns, it would have been a slaughter...

You people should be thankful that Mueller totally exonerated President Trump when it came to collusion/conspiracy with Russians..

But, former FBI counterintelligence agent and lawyer Mark Wauck said, the FBI lacked legal grounds to treat Trump as a suspect. “They had no probable cause against Trump himself for ‘collusion’ or espionage,” he said. “They were scrambling to come up with anything to hang a hat on, but had found nothing.”

Yep... NOTHING.. ZERO.... ZILCH.... NADA....

Although Comey took many actions on his own, he was not working in isolation. One focus of Horowitz’s inquiry is the private Jan. 6, 2017, briefing Comey gave the president-elect in New York about material in the Democratic-commissioned dossier compiled by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Reports of that meeting were used days later by BuzzFeed, CNN and other outlets as a news hook for reporting on the dossier’s lascivious and unsubstantiated claims.

Comey’s meeting with Trump took place one day after the FBI director met in the Oval Office with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to discuss how to brief Trump — a meeting attended by National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who would soon go to work for CNN.

In his recently published memoir, “A Higher Loyalty,” Comey denied having "a counterintelligence case file open on [Trump],” though he qualified the denial by adding this was true only in the “literal” sense.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who has written extensively on the Trump-Russia probe as a columnist for National Review, said that just because the president’s name was not put on a file or a surveillance warrant does not mean the Comey FBI was not investigating him. “They were hoping to surveil him incidentally, and they were trying to make a case on him,” McCarthy said. “The real reason Comey did not want to repeat publicly the assurances he made to Trump privately is that these assurances were misleading. The FBI strung Trump along, telling him he was not a suspect while structuring the investigation in accordance with the reality that Trump was the main subject."

So, now we know that Odumbo and Vice President Joe Biden were briefed on the illegal FBI investigation of the opposing Party candidate for POTUS...

Comey's Under DoJ Scrutiny for Leading Probe While Misleading Trump
July 22, 2019

It is one of the most enduring and consequential mysteries of the Trump-Russia investigation: Why did former FBI Director James Comey refuse to say publicly what he was telling President Trump in private -- that Trump was not the target of an ongoing probe?

That refusal ignited a chain of events that has consumed Washington for more than two years – including Comey’s firing by Trump, the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and ongoing claims that Trump obstructed justice.

Now an answer is emerging. Sources tell RealClearInvestigations that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will soon file a report with evidence indicating that Comey was misleading the president. Even as he repeatedly assured Trump that he was not a target, the former director was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent.

Two U.S. officials briefed on the inspector general’s investigation of possible FBI misconduct said Comey was essentially “running a covert operation against” the president, starting with a private “defensive briefing” he gave Trump just weeks before his inauguration. They said Horowitz has examined high-level FBI text messages and other communications indicating Comey was actually conducting a “counterintelligence assessment” of Trump during that January 2017 meeting in New York.

In addition to of all these issues, the Democrats seem to be under the impression that it is the responsibility of the electorate to live up to their expectations rather than the reverse. Like Hillary Clinton, they seem to believe they would be doing the country a favor by taking over. Finally, they are all making the worst mistake any job applicant can make: trashing the guy who currently holds the job, a guy with a lot of solid accomplishments and loyal supporters. All of this means that the Democrats have not yet absorbed the lessons of 2016, and this disqualifies them as a governing party.

In spades...

Let's face reality, people..

There is SIMPLY NO WAY... That an Open Borders/Free HealthCare For Illegals/Eliminate Private HealthCare candidate is going to be elected President Of The United States...

SIMPLY.... NO..... WAY......

Given the promises that each Dim candidate has made during the primaries, this wisdom basically shows that each candidate will lose even if they make it to the General...

About the ONLY possible avenue open to the Dim candidate is to radically flip-flop in the general and convince the electorate that they were "just kidding" when they said there were for Open Borders...

That they were "just joking" when they said they wanted to give free full healthcare to illegal immigrants..

That they didn't "really mean" they were going to kick every American off their health plans that they like and force them to take a government run health care...

And THAT flip-flop will do even MORE damage to the Dim candidate than they original promise they made...

Now matter HOW you shake it out, a Far Left Dim candidate simply can't win... And there is NO WAY a far Left candidate can pivot fast enough or far enough to appeal to Independents, NPAs and Trump voters..

It's really THAT simple...

Among the Democrats running for president, however, humility seems to be in rather short supply. They, like all members of their party, routinely insult the people who will decide whether they get the job or not. Nor are they reticent about criticizing the nation they want to run. Moreover, many are making wild promises about the things they will accomplish if given the job, yet they remain oddly unable to answer detailed questions regarding the implementation of these plans. Even worse, they seem utterly incapable of providing any serious cost estimates for their grandiose designs.

Cost estimates?? They'll just tax the rich and middle class more...

In a similar comment about the United States last year, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo opined, “It was never that great.” This might fly in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2 to 1, but it will be lethal to any national presidential candidate. This isn’t because Americans believe the country is, or ever was, perfect. But a presidential candidate is similar to a job applicant whom the voters are interviewing for a position involving certain specific tasks — like lowering taxes and reducing federal regulations.

“Mayor Pete” is like an applicant for an important position at a large employer who tells the interviewers that he isn’t all that impressed by the past performance of their organization. This observation would be considered presumptuous coming from any candidate, particularly one with Pete Buttigieg’s résumé. He’s asking for a hell of a promotion, after all. He’s currently employed as the mayor of an Indiana town boasting a population of 102,000 people. And his record there is not all it could be. He wants to be the chief executive of a nation of 340 million. A little humility might be in order.

The Democrats would rather stick to the “deplorables” theme, to which they have now added the “America is an oppressor” talking point. Disparaging the nation as a whole is a favorite theme of the Democratic presidential candidates who want to evict Donald Trump from the White House. Pete Buttigieg, for example, recently unveiled the “bash America” theme at a South Carolina campaign rally. Referring to Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” he handed down the following verdict: “That past that he is promising to return us to was never as great as advertised.”

Never mind that “slavery has been the reality in this country before” only because the Democrats refused to give up “the peculiar institution,” preferring to fight a bloody civil war rather than simply doing what they knew was the right thing. Forget the inconvenient fact that it was the Republicans who forced through the 13th Amendment, permanently freeing the slaves from Democratic bondage. And we’ll pass lightly over the fact that the party of slavery also denied women the right to vote from 1878 to 1919, when the GOP overcame vehement Democrat resistance to the 19th Amendment.

It's very illuminating..

Through-out the US History, it's been DEMOCRATS who are the Party of Slavery, the Party of the KKK, the Party of Gender Discrimination..

The Democrats have spent well over two years asking themselves what they did wrong in the last presidential election and how to avoid those mistakes in 2020. But they seem to suffer from a collective learning disability that prevents them from absorbing the obvious: Their party will lose again if they continue to insult the voters by insisting that the president they elected isn’t worthy of the office and that their country was founded on oppression and remains rife with racism, cruelty, and injustice. Yet this false and dispiriting vision seems once again to have become the Democratic Party line.

The lesson the Democrats seem to have learned from 2016 isn’t that they failed to earn the people’s votes, but rather that the electorate didn’t deserve the benign leadership offered by their standard-bearer, Hillary Clinton. Or, as she herself put it, “I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards.” One would think that, after two years of such self-flattering rationalization, the Democrats would wake up to reality and stop denigrating the people whose votes they must have to win elections.

Exactly.. Rather than face the reality that they can't win elections, Democrats put forth the belief that the American people didn't DESERVE the awesome that was Hillary Clinton..

That, coupled with the OTHER delusion that Trump voters are racist and sexist assholes, really emphasis the fantasy world they live in..

Democrats think that all they have to do is energize their base and they will win.. That explains the huge Left ward jaunt...

What Democrats can't admit is that, even if their entire base turns out, they will STILL lose... Because 2/3rds of the electorate is made up of Independents, NPAs and Trump voters...

And Democrats are ACTIVELY attacking those blocs of voters...

Faced with combating the Trump administration’s hardline immigration agenda in the arena of public opinion, Democrats have largely pointed to reports of horrific detention conditions, spiking in-custody deaths of undocumented immigrants, and President Donald Trump’s increasingly brazen attempts to undermine the legal immigration system, hoping to counter the White House’s border message by emphasizing that such policies and tactics don’t reflect America’s immigrant tradition.

But a new report from an influential liberal think tank, provided to The Daily Beast, posits that the party’s decision to cede the “rule of law” ground to Republicans creates “the false dichotomy of America as either a nation of immigrants or a nation of laws”—making the party and its candidates appear soft on enforcement, and potentially weakening future attempts for humanitarian-focused immigration reform.

In doing so, writes Tom Jawetz, vice president of immigration policy at the Center for American Progress, supporters of humane immigration policy “have ceded powerful rhetorical ground to immigration restrictionists, who are happy to masquerade as the sole defenders of America as a nation of laws.”

Allow me to translate for those of weaker intellect and brain power..

The Mueller hearing on obstruction is a kind of second choice for Democrats. Before the Mueller report was released, many firmly believed it would prove the existence of conspiracy or coordination, more commonly known as collusion. When that did not happen, Democrats and their allies in the media pivoted to the obstruction issue, with some embracing obstruction as the grounds on which Trump could be removed from office.

Their strategy did not exactly ignite public excitement. Now, Democrats seek to make a movie of Mueller's findings to win public attention. But some movies bomb. Without the sort of solid, incontrovertible evidence they can sell to the public, Democrats face an uphill climb, no matter how much attention the Mueller hearing attracts on Wednesday.

And we come full circle... Democrats are simply showcasing their stoopidity and their incompetence..

In their hysterical and insane desire to get blood from a stone, Democrats are demanding another PUBLIC crack at the stone to see if there is even a minute iota of blood they can get from it..

On the testimony about Trump Tower Moscow, Mueller concluded that "the evidence available to us does not establish that the president directed or aided Cohen's false testimony." On the question of calling Cohen a "rat" -- many observers noted that Trump's language evoked images of mobsters -- Mueller wrote that the evidence "could support an inference that the president used inducements in the form of positive messages in an effort to get Cohen not to cooperate, and then turned to attacks and intimidation to deter the provision of information or undermining Cohen's credibility once Cohen began cooperating." Possibly. Anyone ready Mueller's analysis of the Manafort and Cohen statements will be struck by how much sheer guesswork went into Mueller's speculation about Trump's motives. At Wednesday's hearing, Republicans will likely argue that anyone, including a president, has the right to point out unfair treatment. In a larger sense, they will argue that prosecutors can be overly sensitive to criticism, and that anyone, including a president, has a right to criticize a prosecution without facing prosecution for doing so. As with the other issues, the debate will likely bounce back and forth between legal argument and commonsense arguments. Mueller was reading tea leaves.. Any of the issues he espoused on had a whole range of possibilities... Mueller was putting forth the ones most likely to damage President Trump, instead of the ones that was supported by the most evidence...

The problem with the Lewandowski charge, which Democrats apparently believe is among the strongest against the president, is that it is murky. It is simply not clear what the president meant when he dictated the message he wanted Lewandowski to give to Sessions about Mueller. In the political forum of a House Judiciary Committee meeting, Republicans will probably be able to raise so many questions about the episode that the whole thing seems indecipherable.

But of course the House Judiciary Committee is not a court of law. While Democrats will argue that Trump is guilty of obstruction in the McGahn-Mueller matter, Republicans will have substantial defenses: The firing never happened. The investigation was not obstructed. Trump could have been venting in the phone calls (something he did every day), and perhaps there was some misunderstanding between the president and McGahn. It is not unusual for Donald Trump to say one thing and a person around him to hear another. Given that Mueller relied so heavily on McGahn's account, such a misunderstanding, if it occurred, could become the centerpiece of the allegation. And, of course, there was no underlying crime of conspiracy or coordination, which is what the investigation was supposed to be about.

Given that, it seems hard to believe that, even with a Mueller appearance, Democrats will be able to convince anyone beyond the people who already believe Trump is guilty of obstruction. Others may be baffled by the sheer complexity of the case. If Democrats want to turn the Mueller report into a movie, it will be very complicated movie.

Dumbocrats are shooting themselves in the foot by dragging this out..

They ONLY thing it will serve is to show the Dumbocrats are more interesting in removing the freely, fairly, legally and duly elected President Of The United States..

And one more thing: The Mueller report includes a lengthy section headlined "Legal Defenses To The Application Of Obstruction-Of-Justice Statutes To The President." The section includes compelling arguments against the report's obstruction allegations. But the arguments are legal ones, some quite complicated, and it is important to keep in mind that the Judiciary Committee inquiry is not a legal proceeding, but a political one. The lawmakers are not prosecutors but rather members of Congress, some of whom are seeking to impeach the president. It is an entirely political process, and whether or not to impeach will be a political decision. So a lot of the legal analysis that dominates cable TV coverage won't really apply; the president's defenders can make commonsense defenses that appeal to the vast majority of Americans -- 324 million or so -- who are not lawyers. OK, to explain to the ones who DON'T have more than 2 brain-cells to rub together (which is most everyone here but a few) what this means is that, in addition to the no-shit-duh defenses that President Trump could make (like thought crimes are not actually crimes) there are many MANY legal defenses that would successfully defend President Trump against the obstruction charges within the Mueller report.. In other words (for the REALLY stoopid people here (you know who you are..)) **MUELLER HIMSELF** acknowledges that President Trump would mount a successful legal defense against Obstruction...

Finally, it is important to recall that Mueller could never establish that the underlying crime he was assigned to investigate -- conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia -- actually took place. So in Wednesday's hearing, Democrats will be showcase an investigation that was not obstructed into a crime that investigators could not establish actually happened.

Get that???

Mueller totally exonerated President Trump on collusion/conspiracy with the Russians.

So now Dumbocrats will try and "prove" that President Trump THOUGHT ABOUT obstructing but never really did THOUGHT about obstructing the investigation of a crime that never actually occurred..

Also important to remember is that the Muller investigation was not actually obstructed by the president, and neither was the FBI Trump-Russia investigation that preceded it. In the report, Mueller often argued that this or that act -- say, firing Mueller -- could have obstructed the investigation, had it actually occurred. But it did not. So the Democrats' accusations of obstruction will in fact be accusations of attempted obstruction. THAT is what Dumbocrats are hanging their hats on.. "OH MY GODS!!!

The first thing to notice about the Democrats' choice of evidence is what is not included. If news reports are correct, the firing of FBI director James Comey, once treated in media discussions as Exhibit A in the case for obstruction, is not among the episodes Democrats will highlight. Nor are the conversations between Trump and Comey that Comey wrote up in his famous memos, including a talk in which Trump allegedly asked Comey to go easy on Michael Flynn -- another episode that was routinely discussed in the media as solid evidence of obstruction. Nor are the president's efforts to spin the public story of the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting -- yet another incident often characterized as obstruction. Basically Democrats have just thrown pile of shit after pile of shit on the wall and NONE of it has stuck.. "This was supposed to be very simple, but you know if you give food to monkeys, they just throw their shit at each other.

Michale 116 No, my pointing out your hypocrisy occurs when ya'all are hypocritical.. I believe Russ's point is that your incessant whining about the people on this board and your opinion regarding other posters isn't discussing politics, it's discussing us. Because the point ISN'T Trump's actions.. The point it YOUR hypocrisy.. You're proving Russ's point that you're just here to troll. The point is that you get your jollies trolling the people on this board with your bullshit versus the actual discussion of political issues. Trump is a political issue, while none of the posters on this board are.

It could be that the Mueller hearing, rather than showcasing a slam-dunk case against the president on obstruction of justice, will highlight how tenuous, subject to interpretation, and difficult to prove Mueller's allegations really are.

Yep.. That's exactly what is going to happen..

Democrats will PROVE beyond any doubt (even though it's already been proven) that there is not 'there' there..

NO FACTS to support collusion... NO FACTS to support conspiracy... NO FACTS to support coordination...

NO FACTS to support **ANY** if the bullshit claims Dumbocrats are making..

Dumbocrats simply have **NO FACTS**....

Mueller's testimony will be divided between the Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee. Judiciary will focus on Volume II of the report, which covered allegations of obstruction, and Intelligence will pursue Volume I, on conspiracy and coordination.

Democrats on the Intel committee will have the harder job, given the failure to establish conspiracy or coordination. So it's likely most eyes will be focused on Judiciary. Many Democrats, and many in the press, believe the Mueller report proved the president obstructed justice. The report listed a number of episodes of possible obstruction, and according to press reports, Democratic aides recently told reporters the Judiciary Committee will focus on the top five.

President Trump was totally and utterly exonerated on collusion with Russia...

Dumbocrats are making a laughable attempt to re-write history, reality and the facts..

Russ 114 Great post. And comedian John Mulaney probably gave the best response to people who try to use this tactic of deflection to avoid actually addressing the issue — when you find a trusted baby sitter to look after your child when you are away, you do not feel the need to question the motives behind every decision they make. John Mulaney also nails Trump without ever having to use his name in his bit: "There's a horse in the hospital" in Kid Gorgeous. :)

Got that? This Nobel Peace Prize winner just told Trump her entire family had been slaughtered, and Trump wasn't even paying attention.

You mean, like when Odumbo rushed thru a eulogy for a brutally murdered by terrorists so he could go play golf??

You mean like that??

neilm 107 In another amusing side note, without California's job gains Trump's boasts about all the new jobs he has created goes up in smoke :) I know, right!? The irony is delicious. Word for word what I was thinking. I wonder if he'd understand anyway if anybody around him was brave enough to tell him. Hell no. Trump was bragging the other day about America being the greatest economy on Earth. It would blow completely past him that California is the engine that puts us there. In point of fact, if California were its own nation, it would generally have around the fifth largest economy in the world... give or take and depending on the year's data. The San Francisco Bay Area alone would rank 19th (give or take) in the world when ranked yearly against national economies. The $74,815 GDP per capita in the Bay Area is more than London and Singapore. It's that pesky $15 minimum wage and free college they're offering now that must be "holding them back." ;)

Michale 103 Which is not surprising because saying you can FORCE a 100% pay increase to ALL businesses and expect that here won't be repercussions is ALSO utterly ridiculous.. Who said that? The fact is, your ridiculous suggestion that a 100% pay raise would be required of "ALL businesses" is what is really ridiculous, and here's why: * There are 29 states and the District of Columbia who already have a minimum wage that is higher than the federal minimum wage. * The minimum wage is indexed for inflation in 18 states and the District of Columbia and is automatically adjusted each year for increase in the cost of living. It's the difference between living in a fantasy world (Dumbocrats) and living in reality (rest of the people who actually have more than 2 brain cells to rub together).... The reality is that you were stating a fact when you revealed that you weren't a good businessman, and you were equally correct when you stated you knew nothing about economics. The last thing you should do is lecture people who know what they're talking about when you've already proven and admitted that you don't.

Democrats demanded the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate the Trump 2016 campaign as well as the president himself with regard to obstruction of justice. When Mueller was appointed, Democrats heralded his appointment and gave statements of high praise and confidence. They even went so far as to say that they would accept his findings and would rely on his judgment. Then when the report came out and it did not fit their predetermined expectations, they turned on Mueller and read into the report findings that clearly were not there.

Speaker Pelosi has no control of her caucus whether it is “the Squad” or the Trump inquisition. The very thing they accuse a president of doing Pelosi is allowing Democrats to do — that is to use their powers to destroy a political enemy.

Mueller’s testimony will come back to haunt Democrats. He will add nothing and further expose the Democrats’ political efforts to harm the president in a re-election cycle.

I believe Democrats overplayed a hand they should have folded with the Mueller report. It is not enough to hate a president out of office. If you want to beat him, you need to do it at the ballot box — not by impeachment and removal.

Dumbocrats KNOW that they won't beat President Trump at the ballot box...

Which is why they want to keep committing violence on the deceased equine that is Robert Mueller...

Michale $15 an hour is an entitlement, not a fair wage... I should clarify that to read that $15 p/h is thought of as an entitlement by the $15 p/h crowd.. You should allow yourself to let it "sink in" that you don't actually know what any "crowd" is thinking because the fact is that you don't know. They are saying, in effect, "It doesn't matter what the work is, I am entitled to a high wage...." Your ignorance shines through nearly every comment. People who work a 40-hour week should be entitled to wages above "poverty level" as that term is defined by our own government. If you believe that a wage that allows a family of 4 in America to remain above poverty level without the necessity to work two jobs is a "high wage," then you're just woefully misinformed and missing the big picture.

Congress now runs the risk of further being seen as conducting a witch-hunt against the president by calling a witness who clearly has nothing further to add.

If the president were a clear and present danger and had engaged in “high crimes and misdemeanors,” the Democrats would burn the midnight oil to conduct impeachment hearings instead of going off — after Mueller’s testimony — on a summer vacation.

Clearly there is no Constitutional crisis.

Democrats have conspired and colluded to use their official powers as a sword to impale and politically weaken a political foe rather than as a shield to protect the Constitution.

Makes a good point.

If President Trump is the threat that Dumbocrats claim, they would impeach..

The fact that Dumbocrats WON'T impeach proves that this is all nothing but political kabuki theater..

Dumbocrats don't have shit and they know it..

The American people are fully and completely AGAINST the Dumocrats on this..

Except, of course, for the Trump/America hating minority in this country..
