During the impeachment hearings Republicans might say that Trump is not guilty by reason of insanity.

 

Dream on, doggo

 

Is he really going to be impeached ?

 

Because you post Shit like this !!

After saying " I honestly believe that honesty is the best policy to be perfectly honest. But..when you're in a position of office such as the President and you weren't honest about important things that honesty is expected and demanded of you then I honestly believe that you should be honest with yourself about not being honest and how fucked things are honestly becoming for it and honestly do whatever dishonest thing/s you need to do if you honestly want to save face.
Followed by............
" at least Donny lies to us to our face when he lies to us, and that is a redeeming quality in a man. He is handsome when he lies. Now let's arm up and just come together, left & right and find the faceless weasel who is trying to destroy the integrity of our government by saying Donald is not worthy even if he isn't. He needs our support even and especially from you and other left wing communist democrats now more than ever. I think. he isn't afraid of Kim, given the opportunity he would publicly put his cock, however big or small it may be, inside of Kim's ass without vaseline and hump it good.
But now you want us to take you Seriously ?? I have always just passed your Air - Headed Flippant comments bye,
not worth my time to even make Reply or Comment !!

 

To have an impeachment hearing you first have to have an impeachable offence Muller has been looking for close to 2 years. the only thing he has found are banking and tax crimes committed by people other then D. J. Trump more then 10 years ago. the special council is supposed to have a crime set out in the paperwork that starts the SC there has never been such a provision for this SC. And its all a moot point anyway as there will never be an impeachment hearing for D J T as the house and senate will stay in republican hands. Now dog breath if you got some hidden proof that Trump did something illegal you might want to present it to the SC. or maybe a field office of the FBI you know where the honest agents are as anything given to the director or asst. director might get lost or altered if it shows the Obama administrations real crimes.

 

no mayling he has done nothing to be impeached over

 

I was thinking Sasse might do exactly that.

Nebraska is a pretty safe Republican seat. If Sasse primaried Trump it wouldn't risk a Democrat getting the seat and it would drive Trump nuts. Both good things as far as Sasse is concerned. He's an old school type conservative. Not a Neocon or Trumpian. And he's been at odds with Trump over where Party is being dragged and the damage to our national and international reputation that's been caused by the Fake Tan Man's antics.

A primary challenge from the right seems a natural to me and Sasse has the stones and the rep to try it. If he shoots and misses, he might drop back to his seat in the Senate or he might go Independent and run as a third party challenger to both the Trumpster and the Democrats.

I wouldn't count either scenario as a long shot. And in the meanwhile I can see Sasse taking up McCain's old mantle and acting as both a bridge across the aisle to work with moderate Dems against the more destructive of Trump's impulses and as a constant thorn in the right side of his own party to keep them from going completely off the rails.

The guy has something sorely lacking in most of DC; morals and guts.

I like him.

Now Oscar De La Hoya is going to run for President. What a riot!

 

Ben Sasse is the Republican junior senator from Nebraska and has held that office since 2015. His net worth when he announced his candidacy was $1.4 Million, and it remained unchanged through 2015 according to opensecrets.org. Omaha.com estimates his net worth as between $750,000 and 2.1 Million. There have been no financial scandals linked to senator Sasse. He is next up for election in 2020. At this point the revolution would have few questions for the Senator, subject to review of his income over the last 3 years.

 

The Republicans are really freaking out over Texas because Beto O'Rourke keeps gaining on Cruz in the polls. And the more Cruz and the Republicans try to attack him the better people like Beto.

Conservatives angrily lash out at Willie Nelson for backing Beto O’Rourke: ‘I thought you were a patriot’

And how anyone who claims to be a Willie Nelson fan could not know Nelson has leaned liberal his whole life just amazes me. How could they claim to be a fan and never hear his songs.

Republican politicians and commentators have nothing to offer white folks but appeals to nationalism and xenophobia.

Republican politicians lead chants of "USA! USA!" while repealing regulations to make work places safe.

 

It was just funny as fuck yesterday to watch all the major Republican candidates in Florida immediately rush out and come out with statements saying they did not agree with Trump's tweets calling the nearly 3,000 deaths in Puerto Rico something made up by the Democrats.

Because the obvious reason for that is hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans fled the island after Maria. And most of them went to Florida. And since they are US citizens they can vote. And anyone who hopes to win needs a lot of their votes. And Trump just sent them to the Democrats.

 

Here is just more prove that "conservatives" don't really believe the lies they preach. Steve Bannon's alleged mission in life was to rid the Republican party of the much hated RINO's. And you can bet the members here are now also going to fip flop on RINO's as well.

AP FACT CHECK: Obama doesn't always tell the straight story


9/12/18

Former President Barack Obama's recent denunciation of President Donald Trump's treatment of the press overlooks the aggressive steps the Justice Department took to keep information from the public during his administration. Obama also made a problematic claim that Republican "sabotage" has cost 3 million people their health insurance.

With his return to the political donnybrook on behalf of Democrats in the November elections, Obama has brought a once-familiar style back into the discourse. It's measured, nuanced and distinct from the torrent of misstatements from Trump. That doesn't mean Obama always tells the story straight.

Obama campaigned in Illinois and California last week, with more politicking planned. Here's a look at some of his remarks:

OBAMA: "It shouldn't be Democratic or Republican to say that we don't threaten the freedom of the press because they say things or publish stories we don't like. I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me threaten to shut them down or call them enemies of the people." — rally Friday at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

THE FACTS: Trump may use extraordinary rhetoric to undermine trust in the press, but Obama arguably went farther — using extraordinary actions to block the flow of information to the public.

The Obama administration used the 1917 Espionage Act with unprecedented vigor, prosecuting more people under that law for leaking sensitive information to the public than all previous administrations combined. Obama's Justice Department dug into confidential communications between news organizations and their sources as part of that effort.

In 2013 the Obama administration obtained the records of 20 Associated Press office phone lines and reporters' home and cell phones, seizing them without notice, as part of an investigation into the disclosure of information about a foiled al-Qaida terrorist plot.

AP was not the target of the investigation. But it called the seizure a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into its news-gathering activities, betraying information about its operations "that the government has no conceivable right to know."

Obama's Justice Department also secretly dogged Fox News journalist James Rosen, getting his phone records, tracking his arrivals and departures at the State Department through his security-badge use, obtaining a search warrant to see his personal emails and naming him as a possible criminal conspirator in the investigation of a news leak.

"The Obama administration," The New York Times editorial board wrote at the time, "has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news."

OBAMA: "The actions we took during that crisis returned the economy to healthy growth and initiated the longest streak of job creation on record." — Illinois rally.

THE FACTS: He's right on jobs, but whether the economy experienced "healthy growth" is a matter of dispute.

As measured by the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy's output, the U.S. economy expanded at an average annual rate of 2.2 percent from 2010, after the Great Recession ended, through 2016, Obama's last year in office. That is the weakest growth of any post-recession recovery since World War II.

———

OBAMA: "Their sabotage of the Affordable Care Act has already cost more than 3 million Americans their health insurance. And if they're still in power next fall, you better believe they're coming at it again. They've said so." -- Illinois rally.

THE FACTS: Obama is cherry-picking survey results, overlooking a recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that found the number of uninsured Americans basically unchanged under Trump.

He's also blaming Republicans for all the problems with health insurance, ignoring the fact that premiums started going up sharply under his watch.

Updated last month, CDC's National Health Interview Survey finds the number of uninsured no worse so far under Trump. It estimated that 28.3 million Americans of all ages were uninsured during the first three months of 2018, or 8.8 percent of the population. That compares with 28.6 million uninsured people — or 9 percent of the population — during 2016, Obama's last full year in office.

Obama's office said his reference to 3 million more uninsured comes from a major private survey of U.S. adults, the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index.

Early this year, Gallup-Sharecare estimated the uninsured rate among adults was 12.2 percent in the last three months of 2017, an increase of 1.3 percentage points from the same period in 2016, just before Obama left office. That would translate to an estimated 3.2 million more uninsured adults during Trump's first year.

It was during that time that the new president and the GOP Congress were frantically trying to repeal "Obamacare," which would have made 20 million people or more uninsured. But they failed.

The CDC and Gallup surveys are well-regarded by experts. One difference is that the CDC's numbers include all Americans, not just adults. It's not unheard of to have differences. Another estimate, from the Census Bureau, is expected this week.

Sign-ups for government-sponsored private insurance under Obama's law show a drop under Trump, but not 3 million. Nearly 12.7 million people signed up during the 2016 open enrollment season, the last one fully under the Obama administration's control.

For 2018, despite Trump's continuing hostility toward the program, higher premiums and fewer insurers, the number was close to 11.8 million. That's about 900,000 fewer.

Enrollment through expanded Medicaid —the other major source of Obamacare coverage — appears to be stable at about 12 million people.

OBAMA: "And by the time I left office, household income was near its all-time high." — Illinois rally.

THE FACTS: That's true, though it was a long time coming. According to the Census Bureau, in 2016 the typical household earned $59,039, adjusted for inflation, nearly matching the peak it reached in 1999. Another way of looking at those figures , of course, is that the U.S. middle class essentially went 17 years, Obama's two terms included, without a raise.

———

OBAMA: "When the job numbers come out, the monthly job numbers, and suddenly Republicans are saying it's a miracle, I have to kind of remind them, actually, those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016." — Illinois rally.

THE FACTS: Obama is correct, though many economists are surprised that hiring has continued at such a solid pace after more than nine years of expansion. Job gains even picked up a bit in 2018.

Still, in 2015 employers added an average of 226,000 jobs a month. Last year, Trump's first in the White House, that figure fell to 182,000 a month. So far in 2018, hiring has come in a bit better, averaging 207,000 a month.

In some ways, Obama isn't giving himself enough credit: The strongest year for job growth since the recession was 2014, when employers added more than 250,000 on average every month.
