Senate Republicans Just Handed Matches

One of the most fateful decisions of Donald Trump’s presidency happened just weeks after Inauguration Day. In March 2017, Republican lawmakers joined Democrats to demand Jeff Sessions, a former Senate colleague and Trump’s new attorney general, recuse himself from anything related to the investigation into alleged Russian election collusion. (Snip)Republicans, perhaps intentionally, blew a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fumigate a wholly corrupt law enforcement agency amid emerging evidence it had used powerful government tools against the duly elected incoming president of the United States.(Snip)And they’re doing it again—but this time, it’s worse.

Comments:

An example of wimpy Republicans’ dropping the ball… Wacko Republicans actually voted to confirm Obama confidante and regime member Lisa Monaco for Deputy AG in Biden administration. She was a big player in perpetuating the the Russia collusion hoax. What excuse do those Republicans have?

Who else besides, Portman and Collins went along with taking a pass on this investigation? Turtle, Murkie, W, and Pierre Delecto, among others, no doubt? Check their bank accounts for unusually large deposits. And Graham Cracker, Grasslie, Roundie, Capito and a whole host of other senate pubbies are on board with the dims by confirming Monaco. Corruption is as corruption does.

it's about time someone spoke up about sessions and his milque toast behaviour, knowing he had the most forceful presence in the White House since Andrew Jackson. of course the termite in the sill beam when our President was elected was the traitorous paul ryan, schooled by sun tan johnny boner, two individuals who should be forever vilified by the main wing of the republican party.

Not surprising that the usual RINO pukes, Collins/Murkowski/Romney, appear in the article. The rest of the RINO culprits don't want to offend anyone and are making all attempts to be friends with the enemy. Led by Mitch "Multiuseless" McConnell.

They are still playing a gentleman's game, when at this point it's hand to hand combat. They don't get it, they'll never get it, they've been there too long and unfortunately they disagree with the democrats' agenda only in terms of degree. An absolutely useless bunch..

I hate to write this, but there is just no good way to look at this. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, specifically Presiding Judge James Boasberg, has hired former DOJ National Security Division head, Mary McCord, as amici curiae advisor to the court. [LINK] (Snip) Presiding Judge James Boasberg, is the decision-maker in the appointment of Amici Curiae to the FISA court.

The case, Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L., court file 20-255, was heard April 28.

CNN’s sour grapes are fermenting into a pathetic, albeit amusing, daily display. Watching the channel smugly attempt to punch up at Fox News almost evokes the same empathy you feel when watching a toddler try to grab cookies off a too-tall counter. They just don’t have what it takes,(Snip) Enter Brianna Keilar, the newly minted “anchor” of “New Day,” the network’s morning program. One of her first monologues on the program sought to analyze Fox News’s chyrons for allegedly revealing that “Fox is not news, no matter what it calls itself.” The irony is entirely lost on Keilar, who is simply not an “anchor,” no matter what she calls herself.

Swing voters in New Jersey and Virginia are fed up with Democrats pushing cancel culture, a new poll from the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) suggests. The survey of 656 “high propensity persuadable voters” located in two districts in New Jersey and Virginia found that after RSLC digital advertisements targeted Democrats for promoting cancel culture, citizens were more likely to vote for Republican candidates. “The key message of the ad was simple: the cancel culture tactics that drove Major League Baseball to move its annual All-Star Game out of Atlanta will cost Georgia $100 million, hurt the very communities Democrats claim to be fighting for, and could eventually be waged against New

The FBI continued abusing the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act program, including searching for information on people who had gone to the bureau to report they were victims of a crime, a newly declassified document shows. One FBI information specialist between April 11, 2019, and July 8, 2019, conducted approximately 124 queries of information obtained through secretive methods under the act, or FISA, which permits warrantless surveillance of foreigners outside of the United States. (Snip) The searches included looking at information for people who had requested to participate in a bureau-run citizens academy, a program for local leaders designed to foster greater understanding of the role of law enforcement, and people who needed

From France to Venezuela to the United States, the Chinese communist regime’s diplomats have been busy this past year blustering, threatening, and denigrating their host countries as part of an all-out effort to advance Beijing’s agenda on the world stage. This aggressive style, dubbed “wolf warrior” diplomacy, was on full display in March during the first face-to-face meeting between Biden administration officials and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) diplomats in Alaska. In a widely publicized blow-up, Chinese diplomats responded to U.S. criticism of the CCP’s aggressions domestically and abroad by launching into an extended tirade accusing the United States of similar infractions.

A former White House adviser has been arrested and charged by the FBI with stealing $218,005 from charter schools he helped found. Seth Andrew, 42, served under former President Barack Obama as a senior adviser in the Office of Educational Technology. He was arrested on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to a financial institution. Federal prosecutors said that he used more than half of the allegedly stolen money to maintain his bank account above a threshold that enabled him to get better interest rates for a mortgage of his multimillion Manhattan apartment. “As alleged, Seth Andrew abused his position as a founder of a charter school network to

James Carville, the man who in 2008 boldly predicted Democrats would rule for the next 40 years, is nervous because not only did President Donald John Trump prove him completely and unassailably wrong in 2016, but in 2020 as well. Every election indicator proved Trump won re-election. He took Ohio and Florida. He took 19 of the 20 bellwether counties. Republicans gained seats in the House. The refusal by the establishment to allow an audit of the election in key states stems from the knowledge that Democrats stole the election with the help of Liz Cheney Republicans who sold conservatism and America out for 30 pieces of silver.

A shortage of semiconductor chips continues to impact both automotive industry employees and those looking to buy a car.

"The microchip crisis is probably the worst crisis I’ve seen in the auto industry, at least in my career, in terms of supply chain," General Motors President Mark Reuss told Fox Business. General Motors has idled several plants across the country in the last several weeks as the lack of semiconductors meant vehicles could not be made.

On a recent walk, I came across a neighborhood littered with the yard sign in this photo. It seems the provocative platitudes we’ve seen on bumper stickers for a century have now taken root in our yards. And for the same reason: To tell the world that the sign-planter holds wonderful beliefs that he’s willing to impose upon and attribute to the rest of his family. It’s surely not because the sign-planter thinks he’s persuading anyone of the rightness of his position, as if the neighbors reading the sign will say to themselves, “Gee, ‘Democracy dies in darkness’ is a great point. I’d never thought of it that way.”

CNN’s Chris Cuomo railed against the Census Bureau on his show Monday with his guest Michael Smerconish and intimated that the agency is actively helping Republicans increase their numbers in Congress.As mandated in the Constitution, the Census Bureau is tasked with tracking the nation’s population growth by state. It then appropriates the number of seats each state gets in the House of Representatives and that is directly connected to the Electoral College calculation. They stick to the numbers since they are part of the U.S. Federal Statistical System.Cuomo seems to believe there is something nefarious going on rather than straight-up demographics.
