Former Vice President Joe Biden is the only top Democratic presidential contender who would beat Trump in Ohio, according to a new poll. … hill.cm/Gv2puxn
“America at present is already a surreal nightmare.”
“A mentally unwell ignorant violent racist sexist greedy and cruel reality TV show host is president.
He leads a political cult. Christian Nationalists and Christian Dominionists want to transform the United States into a “biblically correct” society in violation of the United States Constitution and its guiding principle that church and the state should be separate. And Donald Trump, a proud and resplendent sinner, is viewed by right-wing Christians as god’s prophet and their savior. And the so-called resistance and other people of conscience are still struggling to create a cohesive and coordinated movement to oppose American fascism as birthed by Donald Trump’s adminstration.

PENCE: “Michael Pence — Trump’s vice president — is a Christian Fascist who does his movement’s bidding as he and the Republican Party work to overturn women’s reproductive rights and freedoms as part of an overall assault on human rights and human dignity in America and around the world. Pence and the Christian Right’s obsessions with supposedly “protecting the unborn” and
“living the principles of Jesus Christ” (their distorted version of him) DOES NOT EXTEND to having any empathy for the brown and black babies, children, and adults being held in Trump’s concentration camps and otherwise terrorized by Trump’s regime.”
Yesterday while his minions were disrespecting Mr. Mueller,
“A judge ruled that Trump and his three children must face a class-action lawsuit that accuses the Trumps of engaging in multilevel marketing fraud.” (https://www.politicususa.com/2019/07/24/trump-sued-fraud.html)
“Wednesday was a disaster. The Russia scandal is back front and center in the news, and more importantly, the nation is once again focused on the potential criminal activity of Donald J. Trump.” (Easley)
Meanwhile NPR focused on Mr. Mueller himself rather than the Trump calamities at stake for the country.
However they kindly interviewed one democrat – in the interests of “fair and balanced”.
If you want to understand how much the putatively objective press has internalized Trump’s own metrics for evaluating public events, check out these headlines treating a hearing where Mueller all but said the president is unprosecuted felon as a lackluster Rolling Stones reunion pic.twitter.com/5QigdmLi9t
Mueller testified the president and his campaign welcomed Russian interference, benefited from it, tried to deflect blame from Russia, then tried to block the investigation. The best newspapers in America are reviewing the hearing like a bad episode of game of thrones.
So…can America get a Jon Stewart type personality to force the public to see how GOP senators are blocking election security ? Who has the voice that can shame these creeps? Again I ask…is Condoleezza Rice still alive? Former National Security adviser and Secretary of State …why has she not stepped up and added her voice. I really don’t understand why the GOP leaders are silent. She would have the power to call out this shame.

Bob Mueller today was decent, honest, humble, measured, patriotic, apolitical & above the fray. He returned none of the bile the president and others have heaped on him. Whatever you thought of his performance, he is far better than his critics and remains an American hero. 🙏

Beautiful babeling.
None of my beeswax…totally…and most of us long haired know this of course.
But after years of managing very long curly hair,
I understood that you brush gently by increments,
starting at the end of the hair
and moving up towards the roots.
(When I mentioned this to 2 little girls in India who were screeching while detangling each other’s hair, their Mom all but kissed me. Magic!!)
That did happen while visiting India. But now see this all springs from when I was little and every morning big sister would have me agonizing while she put my hair up, complete with chocolate box bow ready for school. If I squealed she’d say “Offer it up to purgatory!”. We laughed about it later – she was great – but this part of being a kid was not! Hence the thing about hair brushing…apologies.

I think I agree with this. This is redundant and wasting more time.
This doubles-down on their original huge error–not realizing and emphasizing that the Report already tells the devastating story of wrongdoing. The one thing they ought to be investigating now is Trump's conflicts of interest and whether he's compromised w/r/t Russia.
Chairman Nadler:
““We will win the court fight because the legal excuses the White House has been using are extraordinarily weak from a legal point of view…It will open up the floodgates to all, to enforce all the subpoenas and get all the testimonies because they’re all the same nonsense legal argument,” he said.””
“McGahn, a star witness in the 448-page Mueller report released in April, told federal investigators that Trump directed him to seek Mueller’s removal and then to deny that he had been instructed to do so. Democrats view the alleged episode as an act of obstruction of justice that could lead to impeachment proceedings against Trump.”

September: “In a historic first, two climate forums announced for 2020 Democratic candidates.”
According to Youth Sunrise Movement tweet, CNN will have a town hall with 8 candidates:
MSNBC will have a multi-day climate forum in partnership with Georgetown.
“The MSNBC event will notably coincide with a planned week-long “global climate strike” across at least 150 countries.” (Thinkprogress)
Notably after pressing for this event,
Governor Inslee has said he will not attend the forums!
See his plan “Freedom from Fossil Fuels: End Corporate Welfare, Hold Polluters Accountable, and Transition the U.S. Economy off Fossil Fuels.”
(https://www.jayinslee.com/issues/freedom-from-fossil-fuels)
–Come on Gov Inslee!! We need your dedication, passion, and devotion for climate action.
“We don’t have 12 years to save the climate. We have 14 months.
The deadline for protecting our children from a ruined climate is close at hand.”
Until Trump, we were making steady progress under President Obama.
NOW: “if we don’t make “very deep cuts (in carbon emission) by 2030, we have no possible chance of keeping below 1.5 degrees — and if we don’t make deep cuts by 2030 we are going to blow past 2 degrees.”
(https://thinkprogress.org/we-dont-have-12-years-to-save-the-climate-we-have-14-months-71401316dbc4/)
—Yes climate denier$ are willing to end the planet! Investigate their ties to Big Oil, Putin.
“If the world is to have any plausible chance of saving the climate, we need the strongest possible action by 2030, and that means we need to elect a president in 2020 who understands the urgency, and who understands that deadlines matter in the face of irreversible catastrophe.”
—Deadlines matter.
Speaking for myself, I needed to hear this clarification.

He explained the Office of Legal Council only have 2 clients, the president and the attorney general. And the OLC decision not to indict a sitting president is not a judicial one. (It’s more like a brief.)
-Was emphatic that he would have indicted Trump.
Neal Katyal who co-wrote the rules on the Supreme Counsel:
With Chris Hayes on July 24th:
Katyal: “Barr himself after the report was turned in said hey actually, Mueller could have reached a conclusion about – could have exonerated or could have indicted, you know said this person committed a crime. And so I was a little surprised the Democrats didn`t push on that.”
Yesterday with O’Donnell,
Katyal said indictment of Trump while in office is possible. (have roughly transcribed)
“On January 21 202, assuming he loses, president Trump he will not have immunity from prosecution at the federal level. The second route…is that state prosecutors could still indict.
Now on the OLC opinion, that is a federal opinion. And in our Constitutional system…we have a separate set of prosecutors – state prosecutors – and they aren’t bound by any way, shape or form by the Office of Legal Council opinion.”
(Seems obvious Trump wants second term to his extend get out of jail free card):
Katyal: “But OLC has language that say the statute of limitations will be held in abeyance and can still indict him even if he were to win….This administration is “totally lawless, the president is thumbing his nose at the Congress and the Courts, saying “I don’t need to show up to be interviewed by Mueller…McGahn doesn’t need to show up even though there’s a subpoena against him…this is the culmination of that kind of thinking, “I am effectively the king, you can’t indict me, and I have such immunity that I can outrun the statute of limitations.” I cannot think what our Founders would have thought about a President making such ridiculous, anti-Constitutional assertions.”
Also previously:
Katyal: “And I think the fundamental question is do we let the Democrats continue with seeing this as a political thing. That`s a mistake. This is a rule of law and this is about the heart and soul of our country. When you have a president, who like yesterday said Article Two of the Constitution allows me to do anything and he acts this way cozying up to the Russians, doing all of this stuff, I mean, this is precisely what the whole tradition is country rebels against.”

.@ericswalwell understands @RepJerryNadler’s announcement exactly as I do: As of today, the House Judiciary Committee is engaged in the #ImpeachmentInquiryNow that I’ve urged ever since my April 8 Washington Post op-ed re Rule 6(e). I hope the court petition will confirm that.

Now on the OLC opinion, that is a federal opinion. And in our Constitutional system…we have a separate set of prosecutors – state prosecutors – and they aren’t bound by any way, shape or form by the Office of Legal Council opinion.”
(Seems obvious Trump wants second term to his extend get out of jail free card):
Katyal: “But OLC has language that say the statute of limitations will be held in abeyance and can still indict him even if he were to win….This administration is “totally lawless, the president is thumbing his nose at the Congress and the Courts, saying “I don’t need to show up to be interviewed by Mueller…McGahn doesn’t need to show up even though there’s a subpoena against him…this is the culmination of that kind of thinking, “I am effectively the king, you can’t indict me, and I have such immunity that I can outrun the statute of limitations.” I cannot think what our Founders would have thought about a President making such ridiculous, anti-Constitutional assertions.”
Also previously:
Katyal: “And I think the fundamental question is do we let the Democrats continue with seeing this as a political thing. That`s a mistake. This is a rule of law and this is about the heart and soul of our country. When you have a president, who like yesterday said Article Two of the Constitution allows me to do anything and he acts this way cozying up to the Russians, doing all of this stuff, I mean, this is precisely what the whole tradition is country rebels against.”

Hello Beloved, TODbots.
Thank you for being here.
I’m happier today reading what Nadler had to say. I’m glad that 100 House of Reps, Dems, want Impeachment Inquiry to Begin. FORWARD and Progress. Slow and Steady are ingredients for winning a race.
Thanks, NW😍
