Why Trump Chose to Ignore the Virus July 31, 2020 at 12:27 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Vanity Fair: “Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically.”
Said one expert: “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy.”
“That logic may have swayed Kushner.” ____________
IF that is what happened, and I again say IF, ---THEN THE FACT THAT IT HAS BACKFIRED BADLY ON TRUMP IS ONE OF HISTORY'S SWEEETEST, MOST DESERVED COMEUPPANCES.
Most conspicuously, for Donald Trump it creates optics he believes he can exploit in his re-election campaign. Indeed, Nixon successfully used images of disorder in 1968, and falsely charged demonstrators in 1972 as working for his opponent when he was running for re-election. But Mr. Trump is provoking disorder by using federal forces, which is quite different.
The reason Attorney General Barr is backing this action is that he believes the president should, in fact, be able to do most anything he wishes, whenever he wants. Mr. Barr is using 200 federal officers here and there today, so tomorrow he can dispatch 2,000 or 20,000. He is making the unprecedented precedented.
Richard Nixon closeted his authoritarianism behind closed doors, and only because he taped himself do we have a good understanding of it. Donald Trump, however, has paraded his authoritarianism in the Rose Garden and at rallies. He wants to be seen as a demagogue.
Nixon did not have an authoritarian Republican Party to support his imperial presidency and was forced to prematurely resign. Mr. Trump has a G.O.P. that seeks to expand his authoritarian presidency. Militarizing federal forces to perform state and local police functions is merely another norm-shattering example.
Mr. Trump’s latest threat is that he will not leave the presidency if he loses. He is making Nixon’s authoritarian behavior look tame.
The Department of KJB has compiled “intelligence reports” about the work of American journalists covering protests in Portland, Ore., in what current and former officials called an alarming use of a government system meant to share information about suspected terrorists and violent actors.
Over the past week, the department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis has disseminated three Open Source Intelligence Reports to federal law enforcement agencies and others, summarizing tweets written by two journalists — a reporter for the New York Times and the editor in chief of the blog Lawfare — and noting they had published leaked, unclassified documents about DHS operations in Portland. The intelligence reports, obtained by The Washington Post, include written descriptions and images of the tweets and the number of times they had been liked or retweeted by others. After The Post published a story online Thursday evening detailing the department’s practices, the acting homeland security secretary, Chad Wolf, ordered the intelligence office to stop collecting information on journalists and announced an investigation into the matter.
“Upon learning about the practice, Acting Secretary Wolf directed the DHS Intelligence & Analysis Directorate to immediately discontinue collecting information involving members of the press,” a department spokesman said in a statement. “In no way does the Acting Secretary condone this practice and he has immediately ordered an inquiry into the matter. The Acting Secretary is committed to ensuring that all DHS personnel uphold the principles of professionalism, impartiality and respect for civil rights and civil liberties, particularly as it relates to the exercise of First Amendment rights.”
Some of the leaked DHS documents the journalists posted and wrote about revealed shortcomings in the department’s understanding of the nature of the protests in Portland, as well as techniques that intelligence analysts have used. A memo by the department’s top intelligence official, which was tweeted by the editor of Lawfare, says personnel relied on “FINTEL,” an acronym for financial intelligence, as well as finished intelligence “Baseball cards” of arrested protesters to try to understand their motivations and plans. Historically, military and intelligence officials have used such cards for biographical dossiers of suspected terrorists, including those targeted in lethal drone strikes.

Trump Predicts Election Will Be ‘Catastrophic’ July 31, 2020 at 3:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
President Trump on Friday continued to deliver warnings of chaos surrounding the use of mail-in ballots in November’s election, predicting that the upcoming general election will be “the greatest election disaster in history,” Politico reports.
Said Trump: “This will be catastrophic for our nation. You’ll see it. I’m always right about things like this. I guess I must be, or I wouldn’t be sitting here.”

“The briefing highlighted the regular clash of views on election security between Trump and the administration’s top officials charged with keeping the November vote secure, both in public and in classified briefings.”
THE LIAR IN CHIEF WANTS TO SABOTAGE OUR ELECTIONS.
Good news for Trump. Bad news for the Democrats. But it's still a long way to the election. Not a lot of undecideds in this one.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 39% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 43% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. (see trends)
Blogger Roger Amick said... You are distorting what I said. The vast majority of demonstrators are not breaking the law.
That was exactly what you said.
The vast majority of the demonstrators tolerated those that were breaking the law.
You know why the anti-lockdown demonstrations that you and the news media condemned were peaceful? Because they knew it one person stepped out and try to do something illegal, he would have gotten the shit beating out of him and hauled to the nearest law enforcement officer to be arrested.

McConnell Tells Vulnerable to Distance from Trump July 31, 2020 at 5:50 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Sen. Mitch McConnell is allowing Republican Senate candidates to do whatever it takes to salvage their campaigns ahead of what Republicans increasingly fear could be a devastating election for their party,” CNN reports.
“In recent weeks, the Senate majority leader has become so concerned over Republicans losing control of the Senate that he has signaled to vulnerable GOP senators in tough races that they could distance themselves from the President if they feel it is necessary.
Trump wants the GOP to go down with him. Reminds me of how Hitler wanted Germany to go down with him.
The current averages of state polls compiled by Real Clear Politics show Trump down by about 8 points in Michigan, 6.7 points in Florida, 6 points in Pennsylvania, 5 points in Wisconsin, 3.4 points in North Carolina, and 3.2 points in Arizona. Based on the current polling averages, Biden appears to have the best chance of victory in Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while North Carolina and Arizona appear to be closer races.

Steven Calabresi, co-founder of the Federalist Society, called President Trump's suggestion to delay the November election "fascistic" and grounds for the president’s impeachment, in a New York Times op-ed on Thursday.
Why it matters: The Federalist Society is an extremely influential conservative and libertarian organization that advocates for a text-based and originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Calabresi said he voted for Trump in 2016 and defended the president during the Mueller investigation and impeachment trials.
What he's saying: "I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist," Calabresi wrote.
"But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate." "Election Day was fixed by a federal law passed in 1845, and the Constitution itself in the 20th Amendment specifies that the newly elected Congress meet at noon on Jan. 3, 2021, and that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on Jan. 20, 2021."
If the Congress doesn't approve the results of the electoral college vote, Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in as the President of the United States
I saw an interview with Lawrence Tribe on MSDNC today and he said:
"Election Day was fixed by a federal law passed in 1845, and the Constitution itself in the 20th Amendment specifies that the newly elected Congress meet at noon on Jan. 3, 2021, and that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on Jan. 20, 2021."
If the Congress doesn't approve the results of the electoral college vote, Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in as the President of the United States.
For nearly 90 years, the Constitution has contained a built-in safeguard against presidents who try to retain power beyond the end of their term: presidential power automatically passes to the House Speaker at noon on January 20 if the incumbent muddies the waters enough.

Authorities say security cameras caught 18-year-old Gabriel Agard-Berryhill throwing an “incendiary object” into the entrance of the building near midnight on July 28, causing an explosion inside the downtown courthouse.
“No legitimate protest message is advanced by throwing a large explosive device against a government building,” U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams said Friday. “Mr. Agard-Berryhill’s actions could have gravely injured law enforcement officers positioned near the courthouse, other protesters standing nearby, or himself.”
“I applaud the ATF agents and U.S. Marshals Service deputies who worked quickly to identify Mr. Agard-Berryhill before he had an opportunity to hurt others,” he added."
Both fascism and communism were responses to globalization: to the real and perceived inequalities it created, and the apparent helplessness of the democracies in addressing them. Fascists rejected reason in the name of will, denying objective truth in favor of a glorious myth articulated by leaders who claimed to give voice to the people.
Jared Kushner tried to get test for the COVID-19 infection in red States only.
He wasn't going to help California because it is a blue state. Even though it's a liberal Democrat stronghold, millions of Republicans live in California and he was going to let them rot in the grave.
We might be tempted to think that our democratic heritage automatically protects us from such threats. This is a misguided reflex. In fact, the precedent set by the Founders demands that we examine history to understand the deep sources of tyranny, and to consider the proper responses to it. Americans today are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism in the twentieth century. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so.
Protesters in support of Black Lives Matter once again rallied near the federal courthouse that became a flashpoint, and the scene of nightly battles amid the swirl of tear gas, after Donald Trump dispatched agents to end what he called anarchy in the city after weeks of demonstrations.

The pattern is obvious and it indicates how thoroughly the science of HCQ and COVID-19 has been politicized.
Those studies the CDC / Drug manufacture establish doesn't like are automatically panned and excruciatingly examined during peer review. While those studies the CDC / Drug manufactures like pass peer review without a bat of an eye, published, and praised by "experts".

Na, we could possibly be less interested in your explanations James. You've have proven to be a mindless political hack who is unworthily of serious consideration.
. Mitch McConnell is allowing Republican Senate candidates to do whatever it takes to salvage their campaigns ahead of what Republicans increasingly fear could be a devastating election for their party.
In recent weeks, the Senate majority leader has become so concerned over Republicans losing control of the Senate that he has signaled to vulnerable GOP senators in tough races that they could distance themselves from the President if they feel it is necessary, according to multiple senior Republicans including a source close to McConnell. That could mean breaking with Trump on the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic and the continued efforts by the President to paint an optimistic picture despite rising cases and deaths across parts of the country, especially in many Republican states in the South and Midwest. While this may give some senators the flexibility to draw a distinction between themselves and the President, it also forces them to walk a tightrope. Trump remains enormously popular with the Republican base, and any attempts to undercut him risks alienating those voters. "These vulnerable senators can't afford to explicitly repudiate Trump," said one senior Republican on Capitol Hill. "They just need to show they are independent on issues important in their states."
Let’s make a deal, Mr. President: Congress and the people will agree to postpone the election indefinitely. But by law, your term ends on Jan. 20, 2021, at which point, if no election has been held, President Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in.

The second in line is vice president Pence and you can only succeed upon death or disability. So whoever you copied it from is a stupid ass.
The's real time limit for this election. The electors meet December 14 so they must be selected by that time. The new Congress goes into session January 2. That means senators and representatives must be seated at this time.
There is no provision in the Constitution for a delay of the results of the election. Senators and representatives must be selected by that time. (Although each house has the power to determine eligible membership, they could use that power to extend terms until the states resolve their election.) The electors must meet and send the results of their votes to the house by Jan 2. State legislatures has the power to select electors if the election can't be certify but they may have problems convening since same election also effects the composition of the legislature.
Add to that the galatic number of lawsuits that are sure to be file and you have one big mess on your hands.
Donald Trump is right. Mail-in ballots would turn the election into a disaster.
Without a definitive result, Trump would likely have his term extended as a practical matter.
Virus Death Toll Projected to Top 180K by August 22 July 31, 2020 at 10:06 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

BREAKING: A month before the 2016 election, Dr. Fauci and his Hillary-donating Democrat wife Christine Grady attended a D.C. party co-hosted by Hunter Biden's ex-wife, along with other anti-Trump Democratic activists, including Obama aides Valerie Jarrett and Jeh Johnson ... FEC records show the wife of NIH Dr. Anthony Fauci, who's clashed with Trump over COVID-19 strategy, is a Democrat who donated at least $1,200 to Hillary for America & Hillary Victory Fund in 2016 campaign vs. Trump. Dr. Fauci wrote 2013 email praising Hillary ''' The fact that a public health official like Fauci could not immediately answer, "Yes, participating in the protests and demonstrations poses a heightened risk of spreading the virus," proves Fauci is co-opted by a political agenda aligned with the protests and demonstrations
Fauci’s position is that “crowds” are NOT synonymous with “protests”.
And he repeatedly relies on an appeal to authority fallacy by saying “as a public health official” rather than providing logic, arguments and evidence for his wildly inconsistent views
Chris Wallace continues to club like a baby seal Pedo Joe for not sitting for an interview like the one The President of the United States Donald Trump sat for.
This is for enlightened James. "Can you really point to a prediction the CDC got right using their models?" Are you wearing Google's, masks, gloves and you hand sanitizer and disinfect on all surfaces? There are more "recommendation.
I used to believe Trump's biggest mistake as POTUS was not firing James Comey on Day 1, but I was wrong. The biggest mistake Trump ever made was ever listening to a single word Anthony Fauci had to say about anything. Fauci is a corrupt, left-wing buffoon.
As much as it has been proven that Comey illegally leaked his memo to start the corrupt Mueller probe (using as a basis information he knew was false or without proof), Fauci has had a much bigger negative effect on American lives.
The left's true religion is it's politics and nothing else.
When Chief of Staff Meadows blames Democrats for the end of eviction bans, end of additional unemployment benefits, lack of pandemic funding for schools, remember that the House passed a bill 2 months ago, and the Senate did not take up pandemic economic legislation til this past week or so, passed nothing, then left DC.

In the case of an Electoral College deadlock or if no candidate receives the majority of votes, a “contingent election” is held. The election of the President goes to the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top three contenders to determine a winner.

Good news for Trump. Bad news for the Democrats. But it's still a long way to the election. Not a lot of undecideds in this one.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 39% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 43% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. (see trends)

You know why the anti-lockdown demonstrations that you and the news media condemned were peaceful?
Because they knew it one person stepped out and try to do something illegal, he would have gotten the shit beating out of him and hauled to the nearest law enforcement officer to be arrested.

McConnell Tells Vulnerable to Distance from Trump
July 31, 2020 at 5:50 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Sen. Mitch McConnell is allowing Republican Senate candidates to do whatever it takes to salvage their campaigns ahead of what Republicans increasingly fear could be a devastating election for their party,” CNN reports.
“In recent weeks, the Senate majority leader has become so concerned over Republicans losing control of the Senate that he has signaled to vulnerable GOP senators in tough races that they could distance themselves from the President if they feel it is necessary.
Trump wants the GOP to go down with him.
Reminds me of how Hitler wanted Germany to go down with him.

The current averages of state polls compiled by Real Clear Politics show Trump down by about 8 points in Michigan, 6.7 points in Florida, 6 points in Pennsylvania, 5 points in Wisconsin, 3.4 points in North Carolina, and 3.2 points in Arizona. Based on the current polling averages, Biden appears to have the best chance of victory in Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while North Carolina and Arizona appear to be closer races.

Steven Calabresi, co-founder of the Federalist Society, called President Trump's suggestion to delay the November election "fascistic" and grounds for the president’s impeachment, in a New York Times op-ed on Thursday.
Why it matters: The Federalist Society is an extremely influential conservative and libertarian organization that advocates for a text-based and originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Calabresi said he voted for Trump in 2016 and defended the president during the Mueller investigation and impeachment trials.
What he's saying: "I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist," Calabresi wrote.
"But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate."
"Election Day was fixed by a federal law passed in 1845, and the Constitution itself in the 20th Amendment specifies that the newly elected Congress meet at noon on Jan. 3, 2021, and that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on Jan. 20, 2021."
If the Congress doesn't approve the results of the electoral college vote, Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in as the President of the United States
Rasmussen 7/22 - 7/28 48 42 Biden +6
Biden +6 on Rasmussen poll.
I saw an interview with Lawrence Tribe on MSDNC today and he said:
"Election Day was fixed by a federal law passed in 1845, and the Constitution itself in the 20th Amendment specifies that the newly elected Congress meet at noon on Jan. 3, 2021, and that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on Jan. 20, 2021."
If the Congress doesn't approve the results of the electoral college vote, Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in as the President of the United States.
For nearly 90 years, the Constitution has contained a built-in safeguard against presidents who try to retain power beyond the end of their term: presidential power automatically passes to the House Speaker at noon on January 20 if the incumbent muddies the waters enough.
Can you imagine how crazy Trump would be!
The Constitution will keep us safe from fascism

Authorities say security cameras caught 18-year-old Gabriel Agard-Berryhill throwing an “incendiary object” into the entrance of the building near midnight on July 28, causing an explosion inside the downtown courthouse.
“No legitimate protest message is advanced by throwing a large explosive device against a government building,” U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams said Friday. “Mr. Agard-Berryhill’s actions could have gravely injured law enforcement officers positioned near the courthouse, other protesters standing nearby, or himself.”
“I applaud the ATF agents and U.S. Marshals Service deputies who worked quickly to identify Mr. Agard-Berryhill before he had an opportunity to hurt others,” he added."
Both fascism and communism were responses to globalization: to the real and perceived inequalities it created, and the apparent helplessness of the democracies in addressing them.

We might be tempted to think that our democratic heritage automatically protects us from such threats. This is a misguided reflex. In fact, the precedent set by the Founders demands that we examine history to understand the deep sources of tyranny, and to consider the proper responses to it. Americans today are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism in the twentieth century. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so.

The Ford study has been thoroughly peer reviewed and published,
Fauci touted a study based on data provided by a science fiction writer and an adult film star. The Lancet has since retracted that study.
The pattern is obvious and it indicates how thoroughly the science of HCQ and COVID-19 has been politicized.
Those studies the CDC / Drug manufacture establish doesn't like are automatically panned and excruciatingly examined during peer review. While those studies the CDC / Drug manufactures like pass peer review without a bat of an eye, published, and praised by "experts".

But in the absence of the federal officers, Thursday night’s protest passed off without major incident or intervention by the police.
Federal officers were not absent. This is the real reason:
However, KGW also notes that BLM leaders have gotten annoyed that the agitators have bogarted the protests for the issue of federal enforcement rather than police reform, and that also explains a little more assertiveness in squelching the provocateurs:
Police said even when some demonstrators tried to do things like set fires or climb the fence at the federal courthouse, other protesters stopped them.
“At times people lit small fires along sidewalks on surrounding blocks and attempted to light fires inside the fence at the federal courthouse,” Portland police said. “Others in the crowd put the fires out. Some people climbed on or near the fence at the federal courthouse, but others admonished them and they got down. People could be heard in the crowd repeating that the protest was to remain peaceful.” …
Black Lives Matter organizers said they feel this issue of the feds being in town has been a distraction from the movement.
“This doesn’t go away tomorrow. This problem that we face as Black people, it’s every day,” said Reese Monson, organizer of Black Unity PDX. “So, with having the feds here still, so we say or so we think, it’s not an issue. It’s not going to stop us. We’re still going to be here. We’re still going to chant. We’re still going to let them know that Black lives matter.”
It appears that the BLM movement has had enough of its Antifa “allies” in the streets
It's about time.

A report from National Geographic on
IMPOTUS AMERICANUS
. Mitch McConnell is allowing Republican Senate candidates to do whatever it takes to salvage their campaigns ahead of what Republicans increasingly fear could be a devastating election for their party.
In recent weeks, the Senate majority leader has become so concerned over Republicans losing control of the Senate that he has signaled to vulnerable GOP senators in tough races that they could distance themselves from the President if they feel it is necessary, according to multiple senior Republicans including a source close to McConnell.
That could mean breaking with Trump on the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic and the continued efforts by the President to paint an optimistic picture despite rising cases and deaths across parts of the country, especially in many Republican states in the South and Midwest.
While this may give some senators the flexibility to draw a distinction between themselves and the President, it also forces them to walk a tightrope. Trump remains enormously popular with the Republican base, and any attempts to undercut him risks alienating those voters.
"These vulnerable senators can't afford to explicitly repudiate Trump," said one senior Republican on Capitol Hill. "They just need to show they are independent on issues important in their states."
That's a fucking lie

The second in line is vice president Pence and you can only succeed upon death or disability. So whoever you copied it from is a stupid ass.
The's real time limit for this election. The electors meet December 14 so they must be selected by that time. The new Congress goes into session January 2. That means senators and representatives must be seated at this time.
There is no provision in the Constitution for a delay of the results of the election. Senators and representatives must be selected by that time. (Although each house has the power to determine eligible membership, they could use that power to extend terms until the states resolve their election.) The electors must meet and send the results of their votes to the house by Jan 2. State legislatures has the power to select electors if the election can't be certify but they may have problems convening since same election also effects the composition of the legislature.
Add to that the galatic number of lawsuits that are sure to be file and you have one big mess on your hands.
Donald Trump is right. Mail-in ballots would turn the election into a disaster.
Without a definitive result, Trump would likely have his term extended as a practical matter.

I used to believe Trump's biggest mistake as POTUS was not firing James Comey on Day 1, but I was wrong. The biggest mistake Trump ever made was ever listening to a single word Anthony Fauci had to say about anything. Fauci is a corrupt, left-wing buffoon.
As much as it has been proven that Comey illegally leaked his memo to start the corrupt Mueller probe (using as a basis information he knew was false or without proof), Fauci has had a much bigger negative effect on American lives.
The left's true religion is it's politics and nothing else.
When Chief of Staff Meadows blames Democrats for the end of eviction bans, end of additional unemployment benefits, lack of pandemic funding for schools, remember that the House passed a bill 2 months ago, and the Senate did not take up pandemic economic legislation til this past week or so, passed nothing, then left DC.

In the case of an Electoral College deadlock or if no candidate receives the majority of votes, a “contingent election” is held. The election of the President goes to the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top three contenders to determine a winner.
Therefore, if the Democrats have control of the house of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in on January 20th at noon by Chief Justice Roberts.
