The 185th Week of Rebellion!

[JackLuis]

For the last 184 weeks we have seen a rebellion to the dismal disproportion of Trump and the Trumpblicunts, who have obstructed every hope of a free people. Tax cuts for the one percent, SURE! Profits for the Chamber o Commerce, RIGHT ON! Help for the out of work during a pandemic, OH HELL NO!

Trump's dismal failure can no longer be forgiven, except by the oligarchy.

It is time to rise up America. Protest, Object, and throw out those who can not stand for liberty and justice fir all. Too long have we allowed these cancerous tumours to infect our Republic!

It is not only the Republicans who cause this but also the limp wristed Democrats that pander their platitudes yet refuse to prosecute evil doers like Ronnie who funded a corporatist war in Central America in open rejection of the law , or GW Bush who allowed the Ben Ladens to thrive so that he could pursue the Neo-Con's dream of American hegemony. in the Mid-East.

And just when the odds favoured the reestablishment of law, Obama refused to hold the criminals to the law, because it might be controversial burn the oligarchy to the fucking ground and show the nation what real law and order is.

No we can not praise those who might, maybe, perhaps fix things just because they confront Trupibublicans. If Joe and the DNC do not jump in with both feet and drive Moscow Mitch Bill Barr and the rest of the assholes in to jail over the next two years, then we will not survive as a free republic,

Laurence Tribe says right to protest isn’t just in the Constitution: ‘It’s written in blood in the history of our country’

One of the nation’s leading constitutional law experts blasted President Donald Trump as a “monster” for the deployment of Department of Homeland Security agents to Portland, Oregon.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi interviewed Tribe during “The Last Word” on Friday evening.

Tribe has taught at Harvard Law School for fifty years and has argued three-dozen cases before the United States Supreme Court.

“The president and the Homeland Security acting director, Chad Wolf, and the attorney general are deploying paramilitaries on the streets of America, sweeping up lawful protesters, targeting the press — essentially creating a nation that was the worst nightmare of the framers,” Tribe explained. “The people who fought a revolution to preserve this new republic, the people who gave their last measure of devotion in the Civil War, the people who fought fascism in World War II would not recognize what the president is doing as consistent with America.”

“The American tradition is being shattered before our very eyes,” he warned. “People have a right to protest, they have a right to go to the streets and this is the time to do it.”

Bill Barr must answer for illegal detention of Michael Cohen: Ex-prosecutor

On Saturday, writing for CNN, former federal prosecutor Jennifer Rodgers said Attorney General William Barr owes Congress answers on the attempt to re-incarcerate President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen.

“The attempted suppression of Cohen’s book is different from prior efforts because it uses (and abuses) DOJ’s hammer of incarceration,” wrote Rodgers. “[John] Bolton and Mary Trump have been sued in civil court, by the Trump Administration and President Trump’s brother Robert, respectively, and those suits are pending. If the authors are found to be in violation of valid non-disclosure agreements, they could lose their book profits. But Cohen lost his freedom, at least until a federal judge intervened, because the department remanded him for refusing to give up his right to speak.”

As Rodgers noted, Cohen was forced to sign a clause prohibiting him “from having any communications at all with the media, or to use social media” as a condition of being released to house arrest, and when Cohen refused to sign it, he was returned to prison. “As numerous constitutional scholars have confirmed, the media provision was patently illegal as a prior restraint on speech protected by the First Amendment, and never should have been included in the agreement Cohen was asked to sign.”

Will the House show any courage or will they too disappoint the American people?

Trump won’t survive exodus of Republicans fleeing him before the election: Rick Wilson

On Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s “Weekends,” Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson, an outspoken Never Trumper, said the president is on track to lose support from GOP voters — and so is the entire party.

“Do you think this general lack of decency from this president is the breaking point where some Republicans are saying, look, I may agree with some of his policies, but I can’t stomach this anymore?” asked anchor Alex Witt.


Sure,” said Wilson. “You know, in 2016, Alex, there were a lot of Republicans who said, ‘I just can’t vote for Hillary.’ There had been a 30-year campaign run against her essentially to make her this mythological monster in the eyes of Republicans and they said, ‘I don’t love Trump but I can’t vote for her.’ This is a different landscape now because they’ve seen that Donald Trump is a fundamentally amoral, corrupt, indecent and loathsome human being.”

“Is it the majority of Republicans, no,” added Wilson. “But he can’t afford to lose even 3 percent or 4 percent of the Republican base or he’ll go down this fall … there are a lot of Republicans, and it’s a growing number of Republicans and conservatives and independent-leaning conservatives, who are done. They’ve had enough. They are not going to be a party to this man’s absolute failure and his absolute low — the low characters surrounding him. They’re just done.”
Wilson added that this rejection will hurt the entire GOP.

“The Republican Party, as it is comprised right now, is a nationalist, populist party. It is not worth reviving,” said Wilson. “Do we need a center-right party? We absolutely do. Is Donald Trump’s party going to be that? Absolutely not. People who empowered him have to answer to this in the end. In politics, pain is the only teacher. The pain they’ll suffer from having legislative defeats will be the thing that shows where the bill came due.”

Republicans , It's ALL your Fault!

Trump is daring us to stop him

The paramilitary units from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Trump has deployed to Portland have engaged in disturbing violations of human rights. They have used munitions to injure people, and acted like “thugs and goons” in the words of a Navy Veteran who was beaten with batons and pepper-sprayed in the face. They have arrested and detained people without documentation. Trump has defended their tactics saying the targets “are anarchists. These are not protesters… These are people that hate our country.”

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Director Chad Wolf took Trump’s characterization of protesters as “anarchists” to comical extremes in his public record of how and why his officers engaged with protesters. Saying that he “Condemns The Rampant Long-Lasting Violence In Portland,” Wolf used the words “violent” 76 times to describe what protesters have done to justify arrests and repression. Wolf’s definition of violence seems to almost entirely encompass property damage such as vandalism and graffiti. The closest that Portland protesters came to actual violence, it seems, was when they apparently, “attempted to cause eye damage to officers with commercial grade lasers,” and in another instance, “proceeded to launch aerial fireworks at federal property.”

The DHS records used the term “violent anarchists” 70 times and the term “protesters” only once, without making any effort to explain how exactly they distinguished “violent anarchists” from protesters, journalists or passersby. Nowhere in the document was there any documented behavior by protesters that came close to an attack on vulnerable elderly white women like the fictitious one in Trump’s ad. In not a single instance reported in the DHS account did a protester—or in Wolf’s words, violent anarchist—actually commit intentional violence against a human being.

The Washington Post reported that Tom Ridge, the notorious DHS secretary under Bush, denounced Trump’s move saying the agency was formed to counter “global terrorism,” and that, “It was not established to be the president’s personal militia.” A former Bush-era DHS official, Paul Rosenzweig, characterized the deployment as “lawful but awful,” while seeing the phenomenon as clearly unconstitutional. Michael Chertoff, another Bush-era DHS secretary, told a Washington Post columnist, “While it’s appropriate for DHS to protect federal property, that is not an excuse to range more widely in a city and to conduct police operations, particularly if local authorities have not requested federal assistance.” Chertoff added that Trump’s move is “very problematic,” and “very unsettling.” If those GOP officials who served under Bush—who were considered the political villains of their time—are disturbed, Trump has indeed crossed a line.

Reagan Foundation demands Trump and RNC stop raising money off his image: report

The current Republican president is facing a legal fight from of his deceased predecessors, according to a new report in The Washington Post.

“The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, which runs the 40th president’s library near Los Angeles, has demanded that President Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) quit raising campaign money by using Ronald Reagan’s name and likeness,” columnist Karen Tumulty reported Saturday.

Steve Schmidt
@SteveSchmidtSES
Inscribed on President Reagan’s grave “ I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.” Ronald and Nancy Reagan would have been appalled by Trump’s malice, stupidity and desecration’s.

Don't besmirch St Ronnie, Donnie!

With GOP refusing urgent relief for Main Street, tens of thousands of shuttered US businesses now closing… permanently

With Republicans in Congress intent on drastically reducing aid for unemployed Americans and altering the Paycheck Protection Act in the next coronavirus relief bill, workers across the country are rapidly losing hope that they will ever be able to return to their jobs, according to new polling.

A survey released Friday by AP-NORC found that while 78% of workers who were furloughed or laid off in the early days of the pandemic believed in April that they’d be able to return to work eventually, just 34% are optimistic about their prospects now. Just 18% have already returned to their jobs, and 47% say they no longer believe their old jobs will be available ever again.
Defend democracy. Click to invest in courageous progressive journalism today.

The same poll found that 72% of Americans would still rather see the federal, state, and local governments impose restrictions aimed at preserving public health rather than prioritizing reopening economies while the coronavirus continues to spread across the country.

Similar to a program introduced early in the pandemic in Denmark, Jayapal’s proposal would have directed the federal government to help any company struggling to stay afloat during the pandemic by covering 100% of employees’ paychecks up to $100,000.

House Minority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) acknowledged that Jayapal’s proposal was the “most efficient” way to help keep businesses open and people employed during the pandemic, but suggested it was too expensive.

According to Moody’s Analytics, the Paycheck Guarantee Act would have cost $654 billion over six months and would have directly benefited more than 36 million U.S. workers.

Clyburn was among 139 Democrats who joined Republicans this week in voting for the National Defense Authorization Act, which cost more than $740 billion.

Say hello to the Trump Depression!

Why do Republicans always leave the economy in the ditch???

Four Supreme Court justices are just fine with transmitting coronavirius in the name of Jesus

Late on Friday the Supreme Court again issued a fast-tracked ruling which decided that a Nevada church isn’t being discriminated against when it’s not treated equally to a Las Vegas casino.

The decision was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts, once again, joining the court’s liberals. This was the second time the court ruled on this issue; previously a California Pentecostal church had claimed its rights were violated by coronavirus restrictions, and Justice Roberts joined the four liberals. He wrote a concurring opinion with the majority in May stating that the church was being treated no differently than any other public establishment that was shut down due to Governor Gavin Newsom’s orders.

This time the Nevada church argued it was being treated differently because churches are kept to a 50-person limit while casinos are being kept to a 50 percent capacity. The church wanted to seat 90 people. This time the majority issued no opinion, but the minority went bonkers, raising holy hell, and issued no less than three dissents — one from Samuel Alito, one from Neal Gorsuch and one from Brett Kavanaugh.

Why not have two services and seat 50 in each? Does it work the Priests too hard?

Supreme Court Votes 5-4 Against Nevada Church That Opposed COVID Restrictions

July 24, 2020

They sued. They lost. They appealed. They lost. They appealed again.

And now they’ve lost again.

Nevada officials said they had far more control over casinos and restaurants,
and required them to provide “detailed reopening plans for review and approval,”
meaning they could issue fines (or more) if COVID precautions were ignored.

The state also added that there were no limits for attendance if worship services
were held outdoors (all other precautions considered), which is a rule that they
did not extend to museums or zoos.

The church wants to be compared to secular institutions even though the state
can only force specific rules and regulations upon the latter.

All they had to do was follow the 50-person capacity rule and they’d be free
to do whatever else they’d like.

https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com...evada-church-that-opposed-covid-restrictions/

Why are the churches complaining ? They have been given multiple opportunities
to drain the cash from their customer's wallets, and hardly any of the bother and
penalties a businness must contend with.

Churches have more freedom of choice, than museums or zoos.

Museums and zoos are currently going broke.

Nothing is as it was, since coronavirus burned through the US.

Chris Wallace shuts down Steve Mnuchin’s lies on new stimulus bill: ‘Republicans rejected this’

Fox News host Chris Wallace reminded Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin that Republicans had “rejected” President Donald Trump’s call for a payroll tax cut after the Trump administration official blamed Democrats.

During an interview with Mnuchin on Fox News Sunday, Wallace noted that Trump had recently threatened to veto a COVID-19 stimulus bill “that did not include a payroll tax cut.”

“That now is gone from all the discussions,” Wallace explained. “Why did the administration cave on that so quickly?”

Mnuchin immediately blamed the omission on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who are both Democrats.

“The Democrats were not going to give us a payroll tax cut,” the Treasury secretary opined.

Wallace interrupted: “Sir, to be fair, it wasn’t just Democrats. There were a number of Republicans who rejected this.”

The Fox News host pointed to GOP Senators John Thune (SD), John Cornyn (TX) and Chuck Grassley (IA) as three examples.

Keep them honest, Chris!

Getting rid of Trump is a wholly reasonable objective Jack. However, care needs to be taken with methods. Trump is clearly trying to incite violence in the cities so that he can justify his so called 'Law and Order' campaign. His opponents need to be very careful in not giving him any excuses for further repression.

This campaign is going to go beyond dirty into downright vicious. It will be hard, but essential to maintain discipline against this crook and his fellow gangsters.

Keep them honest, Chris!

Steve keeps passing up these opportunities to mention that the $600 unemployment beef-up is taxable income, with nothing being withheld. A lot of people will get a huge bill next year.

He should also be encouraging people at every opportunity to take their coins to the bank.

Thank you V. I view this project as a public service. I have been a bit behind due to only having one hand to type lately but I will not rest until Donnie and the Trumpublicans are behind bars for their treasonous acts.

I look at the views and try to achieve 10 views for each post.
