Vote on plan requiring Congressional blessing for use of military in Iran will not pass. Needs 60 yeas. Now there are 41 noes.
Senate vote to require Congressional approval to intervene militarily in Iran still open. So far all Dems are voting in favor. 4 GOPers have voted yea: Lee Collins Moran Paul.
Thank you, (Governor?) SANDERS.
MSM making big deal of POTUS saying to Putin, to not meddle in elections.
Did they do the same to obama the ass when he told Putin to Cut it out?

Both Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Tom Udall (D-NM) cast yea votes in favor of obtaining Congressional authority to attack Iran. The vote is now 47 yeas and 40 nays. It will need 60 to pass. 13 absences still. Some confusion earlier as to if Inhofe had voted.
Note Ivanka is there also.
What a team!
After the election he will have .....
Melania didn’t go.
Wow.
Summer break for Barron. Wonder if they had some vacation time at Camp David together. Hopefully with a few of his friends. Remember she’s a mom first!
SAN FRANCISCO With the growing recognition that prosecutors hold the keys to a fairer criminal justice system, the term progressive prosecutor has almost become trendy. This is how Senator Kamala Harris of California, a likely presidential candidate and a former prosecutor, describes herself.
But shes not.
Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the states attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent. Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors.
Consider her record as San Franciscos district attorney from 2004 to 2011. Ms. Harris was criticized in 2010 for withholding information about a police laboratory technician who had been accused of intentionally sabotaging her work and stealing drugs from the lab. After a memo surfaced showing that Ms. Harriss deputies knew about the technicians wrongdoing and recent conviction, but failed to alert defense lawyers, a judge condemned Ms. Harriss indifference to the systemic violation of the defendants constitutional rights.
Ms. Harris contested the ruling by arguing that the judge, whose husband was a defense attorney and had spoken publicly about the importance of disclosing evidence, had a conflict of interest. Ms. Harris lost. More than 600 cases handled by the corrupt technician were dismissed.
Worst of all, though, is Ms. Harriss record in wrongful conviction cases. Consider George Gage, an electrician with no criminal record who was charged in 1999 with sexually abusing his stepdaughter, who reported the allegations years later. The case largely hinged on the stepdaughters testimony and Mr. Gage was convicted.
Afterward, the judge discovered that the prosecutor had unlawfully held back potentially exculpatory evidence, including medical reports indicating that the stepdaughter had been repeatedly untruthful with law enforcement. Her mother even described her as a pathological liar who lives her lies.
In 2015, when the case reached the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco, Ms. Harriss prosecutors defended the conviction. They pointed out that Mr. Gage, while forced to act as his own lawyer, had not properly raised the legal issue in the lower court, as the law required.
The appellate judges acknowledged this impediment and sent the case to mediation, a clear signal for Ms. Harris to dismiss the case. When she refused to budge, the court upheld the conviction on that technicality. Mr. Gage is still in prison serving a 70-year sentence.
That case is not an outlier. Ms. Harris also fought to keep Daniel Larsen in prison on a 28-year-to-life sentence for possession of a concealed weapon even though his trial lawyer was incompetent and there was compelling evidence of his innocence. Relying on a technicality again, Ms. Harris argued that Mr. Larsen failed to raise his legal arguments in a timely fashion. (This time, she lost.)
She also defended Johnny Bacas conviction for murder even though judges found a prosecutor presented false testimony at the trial. She relented only after a video of the oral argument received national attention and embarrassed her office.
And then theres Kevin Cooper, the death row inmate whose trial was infected by racism and corruption. He sought advanced DNA testing to prove his innocence, but Ms. Harris opposed it. (After The New York Timess exposé of the case went viral, she reversed her position.)
All this is a shame because the states top prosecutor has the power and the imperative to seek justice. In cases of tainted convictions, that means conceding error and overturning them. Rather than fulfilling that obligation, Ms. Harris turned legal technicalities into weapons so she could cement injustices.

Scary.
Unless her Jamaican born father had ancestors from Africa, Camel is lying when she calls herself an African American.
I know that may be shocking, why you she lie?
