After last week's revelations about Russian bounties on American heads the Truptanic is hard aground and listing to starboard. Republican rats are going over the side in droves.

Unable to make slime stick to OHJ, Trumpski's terrorists are flummoxed. Moscow Mitch and Ms Lindsey are hanging around the lifeboats and Pence is trying them on for size!


Trump’s a traitor — and the Russian bounty scandal is the final straw

The first story of the rest of Donald Trump’s life was published last Friday in the New York Times, revealing that the Russian intelligence agency known as the GRU has been paying bonuses to Taliban fighters to kill Americans, and that this intelligence had been reported to Trump and had been known at least since March. The story was subsequently confirmed by the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the AP.

But at least as interesting as the facts in the story was this gem a few paragraphs down: “Spokespeople at the National Security Council, the Pentagon, the State Department and the C.I.A. declined to comment,” the Times reported, pretty much giving us a list of who in government wants Donald Trump out of office. Remember that old saying, “When they tell you it’s not about sex, it’s about sex.” Well, when newspapers tell you who refuses to comment on a story, they’re telling you who leaked the story to them in the first place and hinting strongly at their motive.

You know he’s desperate when he starts calling a real threat to the lives of our soldiers fighting on foreign soil a “hoax.” Trump is a threat to our national security. He’s not a president. He’s a co-conspirator with dictators who are enemies of this country. He’s a traitor, and he needs to go

:D:D:D:D
 
I'm still looking for evidence of a claimed Republican members of Congress jumping any ship.
 
GOP scrambling to pay for Jacksonville convention after Trump yanked it from North Carolina: report

According to a report from the New York Times, Republican officials are having difficulties getting donors to pay for the Republican National Convention to be held in Jacksonville, Florida after Donald Trump yanked the gathering out of Charlotte, North Carolina in a fit of pique over COVID-19 health restrictions.

At issue, the report notes, is that millions of dollars were spent in North Carolina where a smaller event will now be held, and now the party is, in essence, forced to pay for a second convention.

Add to that, donors who have already ponied up are reluctant to sink more money into Jacksonville over fears that convention will be called off due to a spike in COVID-19 infections as Florida.

“There’s deep frustration,” explained Tariq Bokhari, a Republican City Council member in Charlotte. “There are people who’ve put hundreds of thousands if not millions into this. They care that their investment comes to fruition, that our city hosts a major convention and our businesses and hospitality workers get the benefits.”

:D:D:D:D
 
Let anyone dumb enough to sink money into a Trump party do so. It will most go back into the economy. If there's not a enough money, let him stew.
 
Trump has a long history of dishonest dealings, settled in court-

(has it reached 100,000 cases, yet ?)

Trump’s niece says 2001 NDA based on ‘fraudulent’ financial information

4 Jul 2020

Lawyers for Donald Trump’s niece seeking to clear her path to publish a book
about the family have cited “bombshell” New York Times reporting on the Trumps’
tax affairs as proof a non-disclosure agreement signed in 2001 was based on
“demonstrably fraudulent” financial information and should be held invalid.

‘Most people are not wearing masks’ as Trump hosts the ‘largest event since the start of the pandemic’ at the White House

President Donald Trump on Saturday hosted the largest White House event since the start of the coronavirus lockdowns.

As attendees began to gather, the White House press corps posted photos of the event.

While the White House was asking people to wear masks, they were not required to attend the event.

NBC News correspondent Monica Alba reported “few masks spotted so far” at the party.

Tune in tomorrow for the next instalment of the "Dumb and the Maskless":D:D:D
 

WATCH: Huge group of armed Black protesters march on Confederate monument in Georgia


Armed black protesters marched in Geogia on Independence Day to protest one of the largest Confederate monuments in the world.

“Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial, a nine-story-high bas-relief sculpture carved into a sprawling rock face northeast of Atlanta, is perhaps the South’s most audacious monument to its pro-slavery legacy still intact,” Reuters reported on Friday. “The monument – which reopens on Independence Day weekend after the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to close for weeks – has faced renewed calls for removal since the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died during an arrest by a white police officer who pinned his neck to the ground with a knee.”

Update: This group refers to itself as the NFAC "the Not Fuckin Around Coalition."

Trump blasted for ‘bringing us to the brink of a civil war’ with 4th of July speech: ‘Going full dictator’

The leader of the free world likened his political opponents to enemies of America during what was basically a campaign speech delivered at the White House on Saturday.

“American heros defeated the nazis, dethroned the fascists, toppled the communists, saved American values, upheld American principles and chased down the terrorists to the very ends of the earth,” Trump said. “We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what they are doing.”

‘Spoiler’ Kanye West mocked for running for president against his pal Trump: ‘2020 never fails to disappoint’


President Donald Trump appears to have lost the support of one of his most well-known Black supporters as Kanye West announced on Saturday that he is running for president.

“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States,” West posted on Twitter, with the hashtag #2020VISION.

The musician was mocked for his presidential bid, here’s some of what people were saying:

OMFG :eek:

Republicans are fleeing Trump like ‘rats jumping off of a sinking ship’ as his racism cripples their election hopes: report

On Saturday, in the wake of President Donald Trump’s fiery culture-war rhetoric at the Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore, The Washington Post reported that Republicans in Congress are increasingly repulsed and fearful of the president’s appeals to racism.

“On Capitol Hill, some Republicans fret — mostly privately, to avoid his wrath — that Trump’s fixation on racial and other cultural issues leaves their party running against the currents of change,” reported Robert Costa and Philip Rucker. “Coupled with the coronavirus pandemic and related economic crisis, these Republicans fear he is not only seriously impairing his reelection chances but also jeopardizing the GOP Senate majority and its strength in the House.”

Few Repugs are publicly condemning Trump, but in private and behind his back they are sharpening their knives!

“The Senate incumbent candidates are not taking the bait and are staying as far away from this as they can,” GOP consultant and Chamber of Commerce strategist Scott Reed told the Times. “The problem is this is no longer just Trump’s Twitter feed. It’s expanded to the podium, and that makes it more and more difficult for these campaigns.”

Former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) agreed. “They coddled this guy the whole time and now it’s like some rats are jumping off of the sinking ship. It’s just a little late,” he said. “It’s left this nation with a crescendo of hate not only between politicians but between citizens … It started with Charlottesville and people remained silent then, and we find ourselves in this position now.”

Hey Republicans, IT"S. YOUR. OWN. FAULT!
 
Trump’s presidency has accelerated the predicted collapse of the Republican Party: columnist

Citing the work of a University of a Washington political scientist, the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank said Donald Trump and his racist rhetoric has accelerated the decline of the Republican party in a country that is seeing major demographic changes and because white voters are increasingly turned off by it.

As Milbank wrote, four years ago Christopher Parker, who is Black, predicted a Trump candidacy would “do more to advance racial understanding than the election of Barack Obama.”

Writing in the American Prospect, Parker explained, “Trump’s clear bigotry makes it impossible for whites to deny the existence of racism in America. . . . His success clashes with many white Americans’ vision of the United States as a fair and just place.”

With the rise of the Balck Lives Matter movement at a time when Trump’s political fortunes are collapsing Milbank suggested that a perfect storm in voting patterns is occurring faster than expected.

“I know it sounds crazy, especially coming from a black man,” he told Milbank. “I think Trump actually is one of the best things that’s happened in this country.”
:D:D:D:D

Trump FDA head cornered on CNN over presidential claim that ’99 percent of COVID cases are completely harmless’

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday morning, fill-in host Dana Bash put FDA head Dr. Stephen Hahn on the hot seat as she confronted him with Donald Trump’s claim on Saturday night that 99 percent of the COVID-19 cases are harmless, telling the administration official that it was a provable lie.

The CNN host cut right to the chase in her interview, asking about Tump’s dismissive assertion that there is nothing for people to fear about getting the coronavirus.

Referring to the president’s claim, Bash asked, “99 percent of coronavirus cases are, quote, ‘completely harmless.’ No health expert that we have found can back that up, can you?”

“So, we know that cases are surging in the country, we’ve all seen the graphs associated with that. It’s too early and I’m not going to speculate on what the causation is there,” Hahn replied before moving on to telling Americans to follow CDC guidelines of health safety.

Don't listen to Dipshit Donnie, take advice from people who can tell Covid-19 from Carona Cerveza!
 
Republicans gearing up to take on Trump after ‘three and a half years of chaos and incompetence’

According to a report from the Guardian, Donald Trump’s re-election woes are being exacerbated by unexpected opponents that he didn’t have to face in 2016 — renegade Republicans who feel he has damaged the country while gutting the party they used to call home.

Sometimes referred to as “Never Trumpers,” some of these conservatives have abandoned the party and, much to the president’s dismay, have unified around a common theme of driving him from office in November.

In 2016, Trump only had to contend with the Democrats and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, while mainstream Republicans cautiously cast their votes for the now-president. In 2020, Trump is now faced with multiple groups of motivated conservatives, Republicans and former Republicans who have grown tired of his act, with one stating, “We have got to do something else.”

Along with the highly publicized Lincoln Project headed by prominent conservatives Rick Wilson and George Conway, Trump now has to contend with a collection of former members of President George W. Bush’s administration.

“The latest prominent Republican anti-Trump organization made its debut in early July. It’s a Super Pac called 43 Alumni for Biden, and aims to rally alumni of George W Bush’s administration to support the Democrat,” reports the Guardian. “The new Super Pac was co-founded by Kristopher Purcell, a former Bush administration official; John Farner, who worked in the commerce department during the Bush administration; and Karen Kirksey, another longtime Republican operative. Kirksey is the Super Pac’s director.”

Also hoping to turn the president out of office is Republican Voters Against Trump, led by neo-conservative Bill Kristol and GOP consultant Tim Miller who was once the spokesperson for the Republican National Committee.

Repug's trying to save what is left of the Party from the Tea Party and Trumpublicunts!

Too Little Too Late! Thanks to Moscow Mitch and Ms Lindsey!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Bolton on Why Trump Likes Putin and Kim: “He Likes Being with the Other Big Guys”

John Bolton talks about the Russian bounties, Mike Pompeo's ambitions, and why Trump gets along so well with authoritarians.

Print

On today’s episode of The Bulwark Podcast, Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton came on the show to talk about Trump, Russia, and his book, The Room Where It Happened.

This is a transcript of our conversation.

Charlie Sykes: Welcome to the Bulwark Podcast, I’m Charlie Sykes. We are talking today with Ambassador John Bolton, who has been in the news lately.

Ambassador, thank you so much for joining us. I appreciate it very much.

Amb. John Bolton: Well, glad to be with you. Thank you for having me.

Charlie Sykes: So let’s start with this. On the issue of the Russian bounties in Afghanistan. I know you said you won’t comment on classified information, but I am interested to know. Have you read or heard anything in the last few days that has come as a surprise to you?

John Bolton: No, I haven’t. And, look, I think the Russians want us out of Afghanistan. They want us out of Iraq, out of Syria, out of the middle East, generally, out of Eastern and Central Europe. Out of Ukraine.

It’s a long list and what makes these reports out in the public domain about in effect, providing bounties to the Taliban for killing American soldiers, is that this is an escalation, if it turns out to be true, of their efforts against us.

You know, during Cold War days, they sold equipment to and weapons to Vietnam, North Vietnam, for example, that was part of the relationship back then.

But at least since the collapse of the Soviet Union, that kind of activity has not been engaged in.

So if they started it up again, it has huge potential significance.

Charlie Sykes: Would you testify about this? If you were called by, say, the United States Senate or the by the House?

John Bolton: Well, you know, it would depend who was calling in and for what purpose, honestly. And, I think it’s also important to understand there’s been a lot of confusion about this. Just because they call me and put me in a public hearing. It’s not just me, it’s anybody. It doesn’t mean I can then say whatever I want, whether it’s classified or not.

So, you know, we’re going to have to see what the circumstances are.

It is, after all, presidential election time and, you know, politics have been known to occur during presidential elections.

Charlie Sykes: They have been. Okay. So now you left in September. So I’m going to ask you about the reports that we’re getting, that the president himself was briefed on this, that this was included in the president’s daily brief in late February.

What are the implications, if in fact, the president was briefed on this particular allegation that the Russians were paying bounties to kill American soldiers?

John Bolton: Well, I think if he was briefed and if it was deemed that people had some confidence in the accuracy of the information and he did nothing, that would be very troubling.

Which is why the president’s first response was, “I don’t know about this. Nobody told me about this. I haven’t heard this before now.”

There’ve been several subsequent responses, which leads you to wonder, as Bill Clinton might’ve said, what the meaning of brief is. Did he get told about it? Did he read about it? What exactly are we referring to?

And I think the administration’s been very unclear on that point.

Bolton hypes his book and explains why he was duped into believing Trump was his kind of guy.:rolleyes:

Assholes of a feather.... :D
 
Bolton's only a little less slimy than Trump is and he has a full share in why the nation is where it is both in foreign policy and in the lack of coronavirus response at the federal level. Not buying the book. Not giving him credence for anything not said in a congressional session under oath. Don't mind if the two vile creatures go at each other, of course.
 
Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech is remarkably similar to monologues from Fox News host Tucker Carlson

Axios captured some of the key quotes from President Donald Trump’s Independence Day speech at Mount Rushmore on Saturday and compared it to the monologues from Fox News host Tucker Carlson over the past week.

During the 2016 campaign, Trump’s team dealt with at least three cases of plagiarism, including the most egregious, the Republican National Convention speech given by Melania Trump, which quoted word-for-word first lady Michelle Obama’s speech. While the weekend speech wasn’t quite as bad as that, it certainly borrowed some themes from Carlson.

July 1, Carlson said. “For more than a month, mobs of violent crazy people have roamed this country, terrorizing citizens and destroying things. No one has stopped them from doing that, so they’ve continued and they’ve become stronger.”

It’s remarkably similar to Trump’s claim on Saturday, “Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our Founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.”

Trump similarly spoke to what he called “fascism” in American places.

“In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance,” Trump claimed, without giving any evidence or examples.

You can not make this stuff up, people! It's "1984" all over again!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Trump's woefully inadequate prediction of;

"On April 20, for example, as the death toll toppled 40,000, Trump claimed he heard the U.S. death toll could end up at 50 or 60,000, appearing to prematurely declare a victory of sorts -- citing figures well below what he called "the low number" estimate of 100,000."

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...claimed-us-100000-milestone/story?id=70888441

The question is when does the US pass the high number of 240,000 deaths? Before or after November 3rd? Because the US seems on track to exceed that number.
 
Trump has one last line of defense before his approval ratings ‘collapse into the teens’: MSNBC guest

Appearing on MSNBC’s “AM JOY” with guest host Tiffany Cross, Vanity Fair journalist Gabriel Sherman said Donald Trump’s chances of staying in office hinge on working with Fox News personalities and should the network turn on him — specifically as the coronavirus pandemic grows worse — he stands no chance of being re-elected.

Asked by host Cross if there is “any way to penetrate that layer of ignorance of the Fox News viewer or the Fox News anchor,” Sherman said that is the only thing that is keeping the president’s re-election hopes afloat.

Trump’s internal polls are showing major ‘slippage’ with his base: Ex-RNC head


Trump’s re-election plan keeps hitting a major obstacle: John Roberts
