ReplyDelete“They’re in a World of Shit”: Ivanka and Jared’s First Year in Washington Has Not Gone as Expected
A year after Trump’s stunning election, the administration has zero legislative wins, a looming investigation hanging over their heads, and Jared and Ivanka have a pretty erratic family member/boss to deal with—and New York isn’t looking much prettier.
“They’re in a world of shit,” one of the people close to the family told me. “He may seem cool, but he’s sweating, and she’s like her father. She’ll never acknowledge it and [will] blame the media. But she’s been working on her reputation forever, and now it’s going to suffer horrifically. And for what?”

"Democrats swore they were coming for Miller’s House seat next, in a district where Hillary Clinton won 53 percent of the vote in November. The party looked forward “to running an aggressive campaign in the 50th,” Democratic caucus chair Del. Charniele L. Herring, D-Alexandria, said in an April news release.
Six months later, Democratic brass in Richmond are silent about the seat."
"With the Democratic Party focusing efforts on other races, Carter gets canvassing help from groups including the Democratic Socialists of America, Indivisible NovaWest and Let America Vote."
Carter won despite the local Democratic Party giving him no support or help whatsoever.

"Members of the left wing of the Democratic Party are furious at Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez for removing party officials who backed Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison’s chairmanship bid from key party committees.
“It’s a slap in the face to the activists in the party that are working so hard to make the party more responsive to the grassroots,” said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, a digital grassroots group. “The idea that you’re going to purge Ellison supporters and bring the party together doesn’t make any sense at all.”"
Yeah. Piss on those grassroots (that just elected Carter in VA). Perez and the DNC think they can do it all with HOPE and money from Wall St.
Perez purged the DNC for the same reasons the Democratic Party didn't support Carter. Big MONEY.
The Democratic Party is no longer the People's Party.

Awww,are you still whining about Sanders? The man who was ignored by Trump and the GOP because he is not,and has never been a Democrat,his wife is a crook,and he is an opportunist? If he had a snowballs chance in hell,he would have been destroyed by the GOP. His snowflake supporters then went home and did not vote or actually voted for Trump just because their feefee's were hurt.It's possible they gave us the rancid crap that resides in the White house now.

DeleteIncriminating New Putin-Trump Timeline Indicates Collusion
ReplyDelete"If this is all true, which it appears to be, then Mueller might already have enough information to indict several more Trump officials and certainly make the case for impeachment a rather clear one. This would almost certainly indicate a form of collusion between Trump and the Russian government. It’s also worth noting that it appears as though foreign governments are now working with Robert Mueller on this investigation. Certainly Greece isn’t the only country providing intelligence to the Special Counsel."

And yet ANOTHER of Trump's court picks is deemed unqualified. This is another one of the four McConnell is ramming through congress as fast as his little turtle feet can propel him.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-judicial-nominee-not-qualified_us_5a0244bde4b04e96f0c637b3?section=us_politics
"President Donald Trump’s pick for an Alabama district court seat, Brett Talley, is “not qualified” to be a federal judge, says the American Bar Association.
The ABA announced its unanimous rating on Tuesday evening.
Talley, who is currently an assistant deputy attorney general at the Justice Department, is Trump’s fourth judicial nominee to received the terrible and rarely designated rating by the nation’s top legal group. That’s a huge number of a president’s court picks to get the thumbs down, especially so early in the term. For some context: None of President Barack Obama’s judicial nominees was rated as “not qualified” while he was in office.
One reason this keeps happening is that Trump isn’t submitting his nominees to the ABA in advance of announcing their nominations. That’s a break from many of his predecessors, who have waited for the ABA to weigh in on the qualifications of their court picks before making the nominations official.
Trump is also racing through judicial nominations and not vetting nominees as thoroughly as, say, Obama did. That’s increased the likelihood of problems with his court picks later in the confirmation process."
And another reason is he's not picking them, his right wing fascist think tank Fundie PACs are feeding him these assholes and he's just rubber stamping them.
"Last week, Leonard Steven Grasz, another one of Trump’s court picks unanimously rated “not qualified” to be a federal judge, sat through his Senate confirmation hearing. It was humiliating.
Grasz is a nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. The last time a circuit court nominee was unanimously rated “not qualified” was in 2006. "
But McConnell doesn't give a shit. He'll ram them through confirmation to life time appointments because they are anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ and pro-Deplorable.
And we'll be stuck with them for DECADES.
See? All ya gotta do is get out and VOTE!
