*NOPE = “Never Obtain the Presidency, Ever”
Mukasey made a brilliant point this morning. Why did the fact that Cruz had dropped out of the race making Trump the de facto nominee cause Strzok to say that the MYE must be expedited. Why the linkage? An obvious show of political bias that affected their official work.
MYE = Mid Year Exam = Hellary’s FBI email “investigation”
Comey has had too much time to fashion cunning replies to any question conceivable on the planet earth. I’ve seen him previously where he looked fairly defensive. Now he is steeled and going offense. I’m sure he left the studio today feeling like a true champ.
Still, Wallace was tougher than probably any other interview Comey has encountered, as far as I’ve heard.
Cunningham is the first Dem for this district in 40 years, being elected in 2018 after Mark Sanford was beaten in the Rep primary. A heavy turnout in 2020 will end his career in Congress.
Predicate nominative, predicate adjective, bwahahahaha!
Bret Baier did the best one.
Thanks for that chart. Haven’t seen it on MSM
My friends/family in the West are very upset about what Trudeau is doing to shut down Prairie drilling, pipelines, etc. Many of them are the type of workers that the US really needs right now. Some US companies have actually been in Alberta/BC/ Saskatchewan and Manitoba, recruiting.
My family friends in the East, on the other hand appear to be living in an alternate universe. Montreal and Toronto decided the outcome last election and they see no problem with this. (If we did not have the EC here in the US, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago would decide who the president was). They see no problem with increasing taxes, so welfare can be given out to all the immigrants coming in. Trudeau has approved immediate permanent visas in most cases, regardless of where they come from. These people seldom venture out at night and walking the dog at night seems to be a thing of the past.
The West has always been misrepresented and if there is an awakening, it will come from that region. I know several people who are going to leave the country and move to the USA. Regional house sales have simply plummeted with a glut on the market.
FYI-brother in Toronto has been waiting for 10 months to get a hip MRI. He could drive over the border and get one in the US, the very next day. He will likely need a hip replacement and that might be another year, maybe more. Welcome to socialized medicine.
Agree with your take on IG. Was waiting to see what you thought about it and as usual you have the long view focus. Telling to me where the Barr/ Durham smack down posts.
I think Trump knows the end game and is strategically planning how much goes into trial and then the true end game of unwrapping everything to deal the death low to Dems and ensure his re-election where he can continue to drain the swamp
Remember the Chief Justice presides over the trial. Anything Mitch tries to do better happen before a trial is convened, such as (a) not bringing it up, (b) taking a vote on dismissal due to lack of Due Process and other civil liberties in the other Chamber, (c) etc. This could obviate the need for a trial and keep Roberts on the sidelines. I doubt if Roberts would press the point, although Schmuckie Schumer would raise all kinds of hell (to no avail).
Thank you for contacting me about the whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
In July 2019, President Trump notified the State and Defense Departments that he intended to withhold nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine due to an “interagency delay” one week before a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During this phone call, according to a record of the call released by the White House, President Trump pressured President Zelensky to open an investigation into former Vice President Joseph Biden Jr. and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as an investigation into unsubstantiated claim that the allegations of Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election originated in Ukraine.
Recently, it became public knowledge that this exchange prompted an anonymous whistleblower to file a complaint accusing President Trump of using his office to solicit interference by a foreign nation in the 2020 elections. The complaint outlines a month-long scheme by President Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to convince Ukraine’s government to open investigations that would be personally beneficial to President Trump, and not in the national interest. In the following days, “senior White House officials” intervened to “lock down” all records of the call, including placing the transcript in a standalone computer used to store only the most highly sensitive classified information.
As a former Special Prosecutor, I strongly believe that no one is above the law including our elected officials. The allegations that President Trump tried to coerce a foreign government to meddle in our elections are extremely serious, which is why I support the full House investigation into the whistleblower complaint. On October 31, I voted in favor of H. Res. 660, which sets the parameters for how to proceed with the investigation in a fair and transparent manner. We must see the results of this investigation so we know what the remedy should be. Rest assured I will keep your thoughts in mind and continue to follow this matter closely.
Then the invite to receive emails, an his contact info... blah, blah, ...
Exactly my take as well. I have never trust ed him and still dont. He’s in the same book as dooshowitz, IMHO.
There obviously is no Electoral College equivalent in Canada. Straight popular vote ?
Re appearances she knows she as railroaded into the whole thing and kept arms length from it the whole time. Without a script she is lost to answer anything
It’s going to be an interesting vote for sure!!
Unfortunately rRoberts is another one we cant trust.
Yeah, ok I get it. You don’t want a strange guy pinching/grabbing your butt.
Back in the day if a guy made an unwanted move such as this the woman would either give him a warning or else smack him in the face. That would end it.
All the hyperventilating and gasping about how it destroys you is pure over the top bs.
When I was a younger man I had my butt grabbed more than once by women. It was in the 70’s better known as the “sexy 70’s”. Women suddenly discovered they didn’t have to be coy and wait for the guy to make the first move and their sudden “liberation” caused many of them to act like children turned loose in a candy store.
I never took offense and in fact felt complimented and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Wouldn’t miss a Trump Rally on Right Side Broadcasting!!.....
I so trust you are right that most of this wonderful nation love this great President!
For sure in our household WE DO!!!
“The US has the world’s must lucrative consumer market.”
As you say, Trump more than any other leader we have had understands this and knows exactly how to use it to our advantage and he has NO reservations in using this great economic power.
He used it in dealing with Mexico, Guatemala and the EU Nations etc. Faced with a curtailment of their exports to us they fell in line almost immediately. The US is the worlds leading consuming Nation and we import over 33% of the entire worlds exports.
