Courtesy of TPM:Cong Chaffetz Town Hall crowd chanting "Do your job!" He's having a hard time answering over crowd noise @UtahIndivisible @IndivisibleTeam pic.twitter.com/gO0BXybGy5— Kyung Lah (@KyungLahCNN) February 10, 2017
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said that the thousands of protestors who swarmed his town hall on Thursday night were not actually from his state and were "paid" to protest, the Deseret News reported Friday.
Chaffetz told the paper that he was sure that the protestors, who chanted "shame!" and grilled him on investigating President Donald Trump, were Democrats and that they were trying to cause "chaos" because they don't like Trump and are upset about the results of the 2016 election.
"You could see it online a couple days before, a concerted effort in part to just cause chaos," he said, according to the Deseret News. "Democrats are in disbelief that they have nothing but flailing and screaming to deal with this."
Chaffetz said that he believes that protestors were paid to demonstrate at and disrupt his town hall, telling the paper that one speaker made it a point to make clear that he was not being paid by the Democrats. Chaffetz did not give any info to support his claim.
"Absolutely. I know there were," he said, telling the paper that it was "more of a paid attempt to bully and intimidate" than the feelings of his constituents.
That's right, the only way that people would protest Republican politicians who are not doing their job is if somebody paid them to care that much.
Kind of interesting that Chaffetz believes that money is the only motivator those showing this kind of passion, don't you think.
Kind of makes me wonder who was paying him to care enough to continue investigating Hillary Clinton.
More gas lighting from this spineless liar.
ReplyDeleteHe was sure? wtf. Well yeah? As long as he was "sure".
Fucking imbecile!Nazi strong are tactics at work! Chaffetz can suck trump #$%& all he wants.

Delete"I seen this post on Snapchat about how "trumps administration" is pressuring immigrants coming to America to go through their smartphones and social media sites... Snapchat was saying how harsh it is and unconstitutional. I agree. Funny thing is when I drove through the Washington/Canadian border last month, I was trying to get the truck I bought back to Alaska. the Canadians harrassed me took my iPhone and iPad and made me give them all my passwords or they would confiscate my devices get a warrant and search them anyways and they would also deny entry, so I did and they went through all my private stuff. Just thought it was funny this never gets light from the bias media and it's happening to our own citizens."

ReplyDeleteI have called our Nevada senator (Dean Heller) many times in these past weeks with various concerns and the interns answering his phone ask me where I am REALLY calling from. These guys just don't want to admit to reality. But did all these people vote? Were they too trusting of the polls and didn't bother to show up? I have a friend that voted third party to make a "point". That's never a good idea. Thankfully, Clinton won Nevada, but that doesn't help us much now.
ReplyDeleteSo many of these town hall meetings are getting protesters. They should show up to vote, get these frauds out of office. Let them find out what it is like to be unemployed. They will keep their generous benefits, courtesy of the citizens that they screw over on a regular basis. They spend too much time in DC, surrounded by "aides" and lobbyists, making them think they are special. Reality BITES when they are out in public. We can CLEAN THE SWAMP ourselves by voting.

I think he thinks he is smart because can rattle off the section number of the law giving president power in Immigration law, but didn’t wasn’t pertinent to question.
When George Steph.... asked about three time to showevidence about voter fraud in NH, all he provided was “everyone knows” about it in NH and he would be glad to come back with his evidence, but won’t say what it is, so George concluded out loud he has no evidence.
Score one for the media,
He was also stupid enough to state 9/11 was on of the terrorist attacks that prompted the MooseLamb ban. It said it really fast and too bad no one stopped him and said they came from countries not on the ban list.
On Fox Chris Wallace, asked if it was appropriate for the president to be making derogatory remarks about judges, again never answered the question.
Summary: Stephan Miller liar liar pants on fire.
He is a perfect fit for the tRump administration. He should take a good look at Kellyanne, see what lying on a regular basis does for a person's looks!! She looks like HELL, tired and worn out.

‘Talking bag of pus’: Twitter rips Stephen Miller for ‘clearly reading from script’ on Sunday shows
After appearing on four Sunday news shows, Stephen Miller, a top adviser to President Donald Trump, was ruthlessly mocked on Twitter.
Broadcasting from the White House briefing room, Miller repeated the same talking points in interviews with CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox.
The Trump adviser likely refused to appear on CNN due to the White House’s ongoing campaign against the cable network.
Miller defended Trump’s travel ban on seven majority-Muslim countries by fear mongering and insisting that the judiciary was not the “supreme” branch of government for deciding what is constitutional.
He also claimed that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was “always” 100 percent correct.
Viewers quickly panned Miller on Twitter:....

DeleteWhen a Republican is elected, he only serves those that voted for him, in some cases only those that donated large amounts of money to him.

DeleteCongressman is righteously booed after dodging a young girl’s simple question about science
ReplyDeleteNot your average town hall meeting
One hour into a loud, contentious town hall meeting in his home state of Utah, Congressman Jason Chaffetz was asked two simple questions by a young girl named Hannah Bradshaw. The first was about the environment: “What are you doing to help protect our water and air for our generations and my kids’ generations?” The second was just a bit more broad: “Do you believe in science?”
Asking the sitting congressman if he believes in science is sadly a relevant question. Chaffetz has called global warming “a farce,” and just this week co-sponsored a bill to abolish the Department of Education. He also recently proposed a bill that would have transferred ownership of federal public lands to the states, making them easier to sell. (He swiftly withdrew that bill after it sparked public outrage.)
So it’s not surprising that, instead of saying anything remotely resembling the words “I believe in science,” Chaffetz deflected hard enough to cause whiplash. Luckily, the crowd wasn’t having it. One woman in particular can be heard loudly repeating the words “ANSWER THE QUESTION,” and so Chaffetz was goaded into responding to Bradshaw.

DeleteConfirmed: the U.S. intel community is still working to take down Donald Trump over Russia
ReplyDeleteIn the days before Donald Trump took office, when it was becoming increasingly apparent that he was knee deep in election collusion with Russia, people in the United States intelligence community were leaking all the dirt they had on him – just in case they wouldn’t be able to continue their investigations once he became their boss. The subsequent three week silence after he took office was unnerving. But in the past few days we’ve learned that the intel community is still working feverishly to take down Donald Trump over Russia.
If the U.S. intel agencies were going to continue to investigate the Trump-Russia scandal after January 20th, they were going to need to do it under the nose of both Trump and any top officials personally loyal to him. And if they were going to properly expose any new developments, they would need to leak it to major media outlets in order to bypass Trump’s desk. Sure enough, over the past three days, those leaks have begun in earnest.

US intelligence community operating under presumption Russia has "ears" on the Trump team
Delete.... A senior National Security Agency official explained that NSA was systematically holding back some of the “good stuff” from the White House, in an unprecedented move. For decades, NSA has prepared special reports for the president’s eyes only, containing enormously sensitive intelligence. In the last three weeks, however, NSA has ceased doing this, fearing Trump and his staff cannot keep their best SIGINT secrets. [...]
What’s going on was explained lucidly by a senior Pentagon intelligence official, who stated that “since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM,” meaning the White House Situation Room, the 5,500 square-foot conference room in the West Wing where the president and his top staffers get intelligence briefings. “There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point,” the official added in wry frustration......

Seems like the Russian issue is damaging enough but what about the Island romps with underage little girls? and the hundreds of pending lawsuits of shady business? The words from trump touting that he could kill someone on fifth avenue is chilling? Why does SOME military and SOME law enforcement employees aid him instead of arrest him? Do they not serve the public too under oath and duty to America? Taxpayers pay their wages to serve and protect us.

Trump labor nominee Puzder owes millions to bank seeking waiver from his department
President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the U.S. Department of Labor personally owes millions of dollars to a convicted bank that is relying on the same department to waive sanctions for its crimes, according to federal records.
The ties between Trump’s embattled appointee Andrew Puzder and the multinational bank UBS were listed in federal documents reviewed by International Business Times—but they were not explicitly acknowledged in Puzder’s ethics agreement with federal regulators.
In financial disclosure forms filed late last week, Puzder listed two mortgages and one line of credit with UBS Financial Services, an investment in UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and 10 other accounts with UBS. In all, Puzder listed a total of $2.6 million to $11.5 million of investments and loans with UBS. That is in addition to the millions of dollars of assets in the 10 other UBS accounts held by Puzder.
In 2009, UBS admitted to the Justice Department that it had “participated in a scheme to defraud the United States” by helping customers evade taxes. In 2015, UBS plead guilty to manipulating interest rates in violation of a previous deferred prosecution agreement. The case—in which prosecutors determined the bank engaged in “deceptive currency trading and sales practices”—could trigger federal prohibitions designed to prevent convicted banks from managing billions of dollars of workers’ pension money.
But if Puzder’s nomination is confirmed by the U.S. Senate, he would head a Labor Department empowered to waive such punishments.

And in an even more ominous moment, Miller firmly declared that Donald Trump's power as the president is beyond question.

DeleteAnd if there was any doubt about Putin advising Trump, this would put that to rest.
"Will not be questioned"? and he has some sort of papal infallibility to facts and immunity to accountability?
The Constitution covers the president too. It has safeguards for any president that exceeds his authority and misuses his office.
Out job as citizens is to make sure those safeguards and checks are exercised when necessary and that those whose job it is to initiate the process do their jobs.
If Chaffetz was uncomfortable now, just wait. The heat hasn't even been turned up yet.
I think he'll eventually break and decide to save his own skin rather than lose his seat defending Trump.

ReplyDeleteSurprise! Well, not really. It was bound to happen but I was absolutely ecstatic to see the Resolution of Inquiry that was introduced yesterday. Yay, Congressman Nadler and his host of co-sponsors! For anyone curious, this is the first step necessary in an impeachment process — Gather evidence into the list of wrong-doings, with the full authority of the law to do so.
“Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), senior Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a Resolution of Inquiry directing the Department of Justice to provide the House of Representatives with any and all information relevant to an inquiry into President Trump and his associates’ conflicts of interest, ethical violations—including the Emoluments Clause—and Russia ties. If the House Judiciary Committee does not schedule the resolution for a Markup within 14 legislative days, it becomes a privileged resolution and can be brought to the floor in front of the full House for a vote.”
Ain’t seen hide nor hair of DT this morning for his daily twitter fit. Yet. I’m sure he’ll show up, but I wonder if anyone’s dared to tell him? This is pretty big. I’m sure they’ll have to break it down and explain it in very simple terms, like “Your ass is grass, sir, but you did finally break a record” to soften the blow a bit. I don’t think this has happened this quick in any presidency.
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/2/10/1632174/-The-beginning-of-the-end
The best part is that the Republicans cannot block or side track this resolution. It's a train that is only going to pick up speed. The first step towards impeachment.
DeletePersonally, I think it is a little premature. I would have hoped for a bit more ammunition on the Russia-Trump ties and election tampering from the intelligence community before taking action. While I don't want to go through "too little too late" again, I also don't want to jump the gun and not have all of the ducks in a row when the deadlines arrive.

DeleteTrump impeached? You can bet on it
ReplyDeleteThe prospect that the president won't make it through his term is big business for bookmakers.
There’s already talk of impeachment, just three weeks into Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency. In fact, many are already betting on it.
Gambling houses all over the world are taking in action on whether Trump, inaugurated just last month, will resign or be impeached. And the odds aren’t as long as you might think.
Ladbrokes, the British oddsmaking giant, has Trump’s chances of leaving office via resignation or impeachment and removal at just 11-to-10, or just a little worse than even money. The odds of Trump being impeached this year in the House of Representatives are only 4-to-1, according to the Irish bookmaker Paddy Power, despite GOP control of the chamber. You can win $180 on a $100 bet with Bovada, the online gaming site, that Trump won’t make it through a full term — though the bet is off if Trump passes away during the next four years.

ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to poll them so we would know who is protesting. Otherwise we can't really predict how his election will go in 2018.
*If* he wins re-election it will be interesting if he squeaks by with a 51%.
DeleteLocally Darrell Issa hasn't had to campaign and has had easy wins since he first won his seat. Until this last election. His challenger was dismissed and it wasn't until Issa was losing in the polls that he finally woke up and started to campaign for the first time. He did squeak by with a very low 50+% win. His opponent says he'll challenge him again in 2 years.
I'm looking forward to Issa finally being kicked to the curb.
Same thing could happen to Chaffetz. Even if it's another Republican. I would strongly urge all of the Democrats in his district to donate and volunteer to anyone challenging him in the primary. Take him out early, then taunt him with "TOLD YOU SO."
