bipartisanreport--2020-06-25--Trump Accuses Black Protesters Of Treason During Crazed Friday Meltdown

President Donald Trump seems perpetually paranoid about the peaceful protesters who have recently taken to the streets all across the United States to make their voices heard against police brutality .
This Thursday , he melted down on Twitter over some of the latest developments in the nationwide protest movement , accusing a Black Lives Matter leader of “ treason ” and complaining about plans to paint a street in New York City outside Trump Tower with the message “ Black Lives Matter.
” Trump ignorantly tried to claim that Black Lives Matter stands for a message of “ killing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and not remotely reflective of the huge numbers of peaceful protesters who the president is just lying about .
It ’ s all in the service of his self-obsessed view of the world .
He tweeted : The chant that Trump mentions was used five years ago by an isolated group of protesters in Minnesota .
To suggest that it is reflective of the broader goals of the “ Black Lives Matter ” movement is absolutely ridiculous .
It ’ s so ridiculous that the only real option here is that Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims with absolutely astounding , willful ignorance of basic reality .
Shortly before the above post , Trump shared on the platform : Treason is an offense which is traditionally punished by death — and it ’ s an offense which Trump just recently accused Barack Obama himself of .
Trump is implicitly calling for the execution of his political enemies .
The commentary that Trump is paraphrasing came from Greater New York Black Lives Matter ’ s president , Hank Newsome , who appeared recently on a Fox show , where he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t give us what we want , then we will burn down this system and replace it , ” adding that he “ could be speaking figuratively ” or “ could be speaking literally , ” calling it “ a matter of interpretation.
” It ’ s very important to note : just very recently , Trump shared a video of one of his own supporters ( with a group called “ Cowboys for Trump ” ) who insisted that the “ only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.
” In the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were , in fact , speaking metaphorically — and to begin with , their rhetoric is a lot more actually violent than an obviously fundamentally metaphorical discussion of “ burning down the system.
” What does “ system ” even mean ?
It ’ s a metaphor , and the difference between the Black Lives Matter leader and the Trump supporter is that one is black , and the black individual is the one who Trump insisted committed “ treason .

President Donald Trump seems perpetually paranoid about the peaceful protesters who have recently taken to the streets all across the United States to make their voices heard against police brutality. This Thursday, he melted down on Twitter over some of the latest developments in the nationwide protest movement, accusing a Black Lives Matter leader of “treason” and complaining about plans to paint a street in New York City outside Trump Tower with the message “Black Lives Matter.” Trump ignorantly tried to claim that Black Lives Matter stands for a message of “killing police,” which is just ridiculous and not remotely reflective of the huge numbers of peaceful protesters who the president is just lying about.
It’s all in the service of his self-obsessed view of the world. He tweeted:
‘Told that @NYCMayor Bill de Blasio wants to paint the fabled & beautiful Fifth Avenue, right in front of Trump Tower/Tiffany, with a big yellow Black Lives Matter sign. “Pigs in a Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon”, referring to killing Police, is their chant. NYC Police are furious!’

NYC Police are furious! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2020
The chant that Trump mentions was used five years ago by an isolated group of protesters in Minnesota. To suggest that it is reflective of the broader goals of the “Black Lives Matter” movement is absolutely ridiculous. It’s so ridiculous that the only real option here is that Trump is a bold-faced liar who supports his reality-disconnected claims with absolutely astounding, willful ignorance of basic reality.
This "pigs in a blanket" chant was chanted by a small group in Minnesota during a protest five years ago…but Tucker Carlson showed the clip last week and Sean Hannity showed it earlier this month. pic.twitter.com/XpFc2sqpu7 — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 25, 2020
Shortly before the above post, Trump shared on the platform:
‘Black Lives Matter leader states, “If U.S. doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it”. This is Treason, Sedition, Insurrection!’

Treason is an offense which is traditionally punished by death — and it’s an offense which Trump just recently accused Barack Obama himself of. Trump is implicitly calling for the execution of his political enemies.
The commentary that Trump is paraphrasing came from Greater New York Black Lives Matter’s president, Hank Newsome, who appeared recently on a Fox show, where he said that if “this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” adding that he “could be speaking figuratively” or “could be speaking literally,” calling it “a matter of interpretation.” It’s very important to note: just very recently, Trump shared a video of one of his own supporters (with a group called “Cowboys for Trump”) who insisted that the “only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.” In the video, the Trump supporter claims that they were, in fact, speaking metaphorically — and to begin with, their rhetoric is a lot more actually violent than an obviously fundamentally metaphorical discussion of “burning down the system.” What does “system” even mean? It’s a metaphor, and the difference between the Black Lives Matter leader and the Trump supporter is that one is black, and the black individual is the one who Trump insisted committed “treason.”

Joe Biden is racking up the endorsements including some that would never have been expected .
Both Mitt Romney and George W. Bush may end up endorsing Biden despite their career-long ties to the Republican Party .
On Thursday , former president candidate Carly Fiorina endorsed Biden , and it seems to have really made Trump angry .
Trump ’ s mind is certainly on November in 2020 and all the little petty fights he needs to have in the meantime to appease his supporters .
Meanwhile , COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise and 40 million Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s priority is never the American people ; Trump ’ s only priority is himself .
Surprisingly , Fiorina endorsed Trump in 2020 despite his having attacked her on a debate stage for being too unattractive to get votes .
This time , however , Fiorina says she just can ’ t support him anymore .
Even before Trump had tweeted his insults to Fiorina , she discussed his habit of petty attacks against anyone who dares disagree with him .
That is an understatement for the man who has called women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and “ slobs , ” insulted the Latino community by referring to a Latina Ms. America as “ Miss Housekeeping , ” attacked a cable news TV host by calling him a murderer , and threatened to drop bombs on John Bolton .
Twitter is wise to Trump ’ s insult game .

Trump’s mind is certainly on November in 2020 and all the little petty fights he needs to have in the meantime to appease his supporters. Meanwhile, COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise and 40 million Americans are currently out of work. Trump’s priority is never the American people; Trump’s only priority is himself.
Surprisingly, Fiorina endorsed Trump in 2020 despite his having attacked her on a debate stage for being too unattractive to get votes. This time, however, Fiorina says she just can’t support him anymore.
Even before Trump had tweeted his insults to Fiorina, she discussed his habit of petty attacks against anyone who dares disagree with him.
‘I think the habit of insulting one’s political enemies is unfortunately long standing in this country, and he has brought it to a new low.’
That is an understatement for the man who has called women “horseface,” “pigs,” and “slobs,” insulted the Latino community by referring to a Latina Ms. America as “Miss Housekeeping,” attacked a cable news TV host by calling him a murderer, and threatened to drop bombs on John Bolton.
Twitter is wise to Trump’s insult game. Read some of their comments below:

Trump officials act as a roving band of apostles , evangelizing this message .
Attorney General William Barr dedicated a speech at Notre Dame to detailing “ the steady erosion of our traditional Judeo-Christian moral system and a comprehensive effort to drive it from the public square.

’ A spokesman for Simon & Schuster said this week that she “ has written a compelling personal story of worldwide significance , and we look forward to helping her tell her story.
” The New York Times initially reported that the commander-in-chief ’ s younger brother Robert had filed the suit in Queens County Surrogate ’ s Court on Tuesday .
This brother ’ s attorney Charles Harder also asked the court to halt Mary ’ s book .
The argument refers to a 2001 confidentiality agreement the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family sign .
This nondisclosure agreement was in relation to a lawsuit over Fred Trump Sr. ’ s estate .
He died in 1999 .
Mary ’ s uncle Robert Trump said , according to The People Magazine : ‘ Her attempt to sensationalize and mischaracterize our family relationship after all of these years for her own financial gain is both a travesty and injustice to the memory of my late brother , Fred , and our beloved parents .

They are pursuing this unlawful prior restraint because they do not want the American people to know the truth .

’ The president talked to The Axios about his niece recently , and said that her aunts and uncles were involved in a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mary Trump is ] not allowed to write a book ” because of the nondisclosure agreement signed as a result of the tense legal conflict within the family , spurred by what Mary and her brother argued was “ fraud and undue influence.
” ‘ Donald Trump was the sole executor of his father ’ s estate , but The Business Insider reported in October 2018 that he tried to rewrite his father ’ s will almost a decade before his father ’ s death : ‘ President Donald Trump sought to rewrite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to strengthen his position as the sole executor of his father ’ s estate , according to a New York Times investigation published Tuesday.
’ Fred Trump was not pleased with the Donald ’ s move , and removed him as “ sole control of the estate : ” ‘ Fred Trump saw the move as an attempt to go behind his back and removed his son from having sole control of the estate , The Times reported , citing depositions and other documents it obtained.

Mary ’ s father Robert was the eldest child , but he died when he was just 43 in 1981 of a heart attack related to his alcoholism .
Mary and her brother Fred Trump III received $ 200,000 each .
One of the issues that Robert ’ s children had with their aunts and uncles was that they pulled Fred III ’ s health insurance for his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including seizures and cerebral palsy.
” POTUS told The New York Daily News : The Mueller Report Adventures : In Bite-Sizes on this Facebook page .
These quick , two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people .

Interestingly enough , Mueller Bite-Sizes can be read in any order .

‘[Too Much and Never Enough is a] revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him.’
A spokesman for Simon & Schuster said this week that she “has written a compelling personal story of worldwide significance, and we look forward to helping her tell her story.”
‘She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald.’
‘[A] nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse” within the Trump family.’
According to her publisher, her memoir describes:

‘Her attempt to sensationalize and mischaracterize our family relationship after all of these years for her own financial gain is both a travesty and injustice to the memory of my late brother, Fred, and our beloved parents.

This brother’s attorney Charles Harder also asked the court to halt Mary’s book. The argument refers to a 2001 confidentiality agreement the president made her and the rest of her family sign.
In response to the lawsuit, Mary and her publisher said the requested restraining order amounted to censorship.
‘President Trump and his siblings are seeking to suppress a book that will discuss matters of utmost public importance. They are pursuing this unlawful prior restraint because they do not want the American people to know the truth. The courts will not tolerate this brazen effort to squelch speech in violation of the First Amendment.’
‘As the plaintiff and his attorney well know, the courts take a dim view of prior restraint, and this attempt to block publication will meet the same fate as those that have gone before.’
In addition to Mary Trump’s attorney, a spokesperson for her publisher Simon & Schuster said:
The president talked to The Axios about his niece recently, and said that her aunts and uncles were involved in a “tense legal conflict:”

Healthline reports that:
‘On Wednesday morning, the United States recorded more than 45,000 new confirmed COVID-19 cases during the past 24 hours. That easily broke the previous single day record set on April 26.’
It goes without saying that Donald Trump is not qualified to handle real threats to American lives, not from a virus or unemployment increases or civil unrest, yet all three of those plague his presidency and highlight his incompetence.

While nations across Europe and elsewhere have successfully ended up with gradually lowering overall case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. suffered the highest one-day count of confirmed new cases since the start of the pandemic .

bipartisanreport--2020-06-25--Trump Posts Racist Nonsense On Twitter During Mid-Morning Meltdown

President Donald Trump consistently proves that he has no idea what he ’ s talking about when it comes to the Coronavirus , which has claimed the lives of over 120,000 Americans and is spreading at a particularly rapid rate in some areas of the country .
It ’ s not as though the country couldn ’ t use some semblance of competent leadership from the president — just this past Wednesday , the U.S. reported its highest single-day count of new Coronavirus cases since the pandemic began , but in a Twitter post this Thursday , Trump revealed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic principles of the pandemic , no matter how many times they ’ re explained — and he used a racist description for the Coronavirus in the process .
He suggested that the rise in cases across the U.S. is inextricably tied to a rise in testing .
This claim is flatly incorrect .
There are at least a couple metrics that prove its brazen wrongness — in Florida , for instance , testing has actually been going down recently , and numbers of confirmed cases have been going up .
Separately , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back positive for the Coronavirus in places around the country has been increasing , and if the increase in cases could be attributed to a rise in testing alone , then the portion of tests that come back positive should be decreasing over time .
It ’ s not .
Coronavirus cases are rising at a faster rate than the rate at which testing is increasing .
Again — the number of Coronavirus cases has not been going up “ because of GREAT TESTING.
” The number has been going up because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rate has lowered over time , but it ’ s still very high , and additionally , increases in deaths tend to lag behind increases in cases by about two weeks or so .
And to be clear — referring to the Coronavirus as the “ ChinaVirus ” is brazen racism that does nothing other than try and exploit divisions among Americans for his own political gain via turning his followers against yet another group — this time , the Chinese .

Unless people have a family member or friend struck down by the coronavirus pandemic, it is extremely difficult to grasp the enormity and the profound deadliness of this disease. It has struck enough people that Donald Trump’s ineptitude has begun to show up in the latest swing state polls. The 50 million unemployed do not help his case. The center of the country has just begun to feel COVID-19’s bitter hand. Although the polls look bad for POTUS now, soon they will register the number of the deadly ill kids who attended Trump’s Arizona rally.
This Junior High Band can give us some insight into the magnitude of COVID-19 Americans face. As these 50 kids play America the Beautiful, imagine Trump wiping them off of the face of the earth. Then, imagine him obliterating 2,480 more junior high marching bands. That was exactly what this unfeeling and uncaring man has done to our country, and this is what the polls say.
Joe Biden holds a strong lead among registered voters in six battleground states carried by Donald Trump in 2016.
People are ready for a change. Donald Trump is still playing himself as the leading character in a White House reality show, beloved by his millions of fans. He does not treat his job as helping improve the lives of Americans, of governing. this great country. Joe Biden does, though.
The reality has begun to hit people really hards as they recognize how shallow, useless, and yes dangerous POTUS has been over the past three and a half years. The voters expected more of this man, so now they are. turning to President Barack Obama’s vice president for help.
In swing states that won the man currently sitting in the Oval Office the Electoral College, Biden has been leading in double-digits. These battleground states are Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Trump’s advantage with white voters has nearly disappeared, while Biden has an overwhelming 21-point lead among white college graduates. If the presidential election was held today in. these three states, POTUS would just barely squeak ahead. In 2016, the commander-in-chief won by almost 10 points.
In 2016, the president won the working-class voters who carried him into office. Even so, he lost the popular vote. If Democrats win the Senate and the presidency, doing away with the Electoral College has been floated. The idea’s time has come, and hopefully, Democrats will take their opportunity while it lasts.
Trump still does better than Biden in these swing states but just barely, as the latest polls show. According to the latest Times/Siena poll that came out on Wednesday, according to The New York Times:
‘A separate Times/Siena survey released on Wednesday found Mr. Biden leading by 14 points nationwide, 50 percent to 36 percent. Mr. Biden would win the presidency with at least 333 electoral votes, far more than the 270 needed, if he won all six of the states surveyed and held those won by Hillary Clinton four years ago. Most combinations of any three of the six states — which include Florida, Arizona and North Carolina — would suffice.’
Although the election seems to be in the far distant future, it r is just four months from now. A lot can happen between now and then. Health experts predict a resurgence of the coronavirus during the fall flu season, and they say it will be worse than the first round. The reason is that people’s immune systems will not be as strong as they were during the first round:
‘As of now, 59 percent of voters in Michigan disapprove of Mr. Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, the highest level of disapproval in any battleground state polled. And nearly 40 percent of registered voters there, including 11 percent of Republicans, say he has treated their state worse than others in response to the pandemic.’
Another problem is that even after people contract this strange new virus, there is no evidence of how long their immunity to the disease will last or even whether there is any immunity to it.
According to the polls:
‘Over all, 42 percent of voters in the battleground states approve of how Mr. Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent disapprove.’
The stock market has held firm up until now, but that is not the same entity as the economy. The White House has been taking down funding for testing sites across the nation, especially in the hardest-hit areas, such as Texas. The administration has also turned down additional financing for the stats and for economic safety nets. A separate New York Times article reported:
‘But for now, the findings confirm that the president’s political standing has deteriorated sharply since October, when Times/Siena polls found Mr. Biden ahead by just two percentage points across the same six states (the gap is now nine points). Since then, the nation has faced a series of crises that would pose a grave political challenge to any president seeking re-election. The polls suggest that battleground-state voters believe the president has struggled to meet the moment.’
National polls have indicated that the Black Lives Matter Movement has taken hold in a way that was not reflected in the 2016 presidential election:
‘The Times/Siena polls find that white voters in the battleground states support the recent protests and agree with the movement’s major complaints about the criminal justice system, including that the death of Mr. Floyd is part of a broader pattern of excessive police violence, and that the criminal justice system is biased against African-Americans. They disapprove of how the president is handling both the recent protests and race relations more generally.’
Now, a majority of voters would prefer a candidate who cares about the underlying reason for the protests:
‘A majority of voters, 63 percent, say they would rather back a presidential candidate who focuses on the cause of protests, even when the protests go too far, while just 31 percent say they would prefer to support a candidate who says we need to be tough on demonstrations that go too far.’
The latest polls indicate that Biden’s support has not increased among nonwhite voters:
‘Perhaps more surprisingly, Mr. Biden has also made few to no gains among nonwhite voters, despite the national attention on criminal justice and racism over the last month. Over all, Mr. Biden leads among black voters by 83 percent to 7 percent, up only slightly from October. Hispanic voters back Mr. Biden by 62-26, also essentially unchanged. Neither lead exceeds Mrs. Clinton’s margin in the final polls from 2016.’
The former vice president’s lead is attributed to Trump’s weaknesses and failings:
‘Over all, 55 percent of Mr. Biden’s supporters say their vote is more a vote against Mr. Trump than a vote for Mr. Biden, while 80 percent of Mr. Trump’s supporters say they’re mainly voting for the president. And Mr. Biden’s gains have come without any improvement in his favorability ratings, even as Mr. Trump’s have plummeted.’
Generally, 50 percent of the voters in those battleground states have a favorable view of him, and “47 percent who have an unfavorable view:”
‘It’s possible that Mr. Biden will struggle to match his wide lead in the polls at the ballot box. The voters who don’t back either Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump tend to tilt Republican, whether by party registration or by affiliation, and 34 percent say they voted for Mr. Trump in 2016, compared with 20 percent who backed Mrs. Clinton. Some of these voters may return to the president by the end of the race.’
Any advantage among white voters that Trump carried in 2016 has nearly disappeared:
‘despite national attention to the kind of racial issues that many analysts believed propelled his strength among white voters in the first place. If attitudes about race were vital to Mr. Trump’s appeal with white voters, then a foundation of his strength has been badly shaken.’
The New York Times/Siena College poll was taken by 3, 870 randomly-selected registered voters during the time period from June 8 through June 18. The individuals in the polls were in the swing states.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-26--Trump Calls BLM Protesters ‘Terrorists’ And Promises ‘Retribution’ In Hannity Interview

Donald Trump is desperate after one of the worst weeks ever .
His poll numbers are sinking in the face of his failed leadership during COVID-19 that has led to skyrocketing unemployment rates , his disastrous first campaign rally ended in utter embarrassment , and two Supreme Court cases failed to go his way .
How does one rekindle the racist magic of 2016 when Trump drew massive crowds and led chants of “ build the wall ” ?
If you ’ re Trump , you attack black people .
It ’ s that simple .
In an appearance on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show , Trump called the Black Lives Matter movement a “ terrorist ” organization .
At a moment of heightened civil unrest at levels not seen since the 1960s , Trump attacked a movement dedicated to protecting the lives of black Americans , a group who is disproportionately singled out for police brutality which many times leads to the murder of black men and women .
According to The Daily Beast , Trump said : Trump has made a very big deal about a statement made by Hawk Newsome , chairman of Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a Fox News interview .
Insisting that Newsome had committed “ treason ” with his statements about reforming the system that kills black Americans , Trump promised to charge him with sedition ( which is no longer a crime ) and insurrection .
In an interview on Fox News , Newsome said : Trump is ignoring the history of this country with his criticism .
When Americans feel threatened , the history shows that we have spoken out , marched , protested , rioted , and in many cases , gone to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American Revolution and the many wars since , which continue today , that are part of America ’ s history .
‘ This country is built upon violence .
We go in and we blow up countries and we replace their leaders with leaders who we like .
So for any American to accuse us of being violent , it ’ s extremely hypocritical .

‘Every night we’re going to get tougher and tougher. At some point there is going to be retribution because there has to be…These people are vandals. But they’re agitators, but they’re really, they’re terrorists in a sense.’
Trump has made a very big deal about a statement made by Hawk Newsome, chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, in a Fox News interview. Insisting that Newsome had committed “treason” with his statements about reforming the system that kills black Americans, Trump promised to charge him with sedition (which is no longer a crime) and insurrection.
In an interview on Fox News, Newsome said:

Trump is ignoring the history of this country with his criticism.

With polls consistently showing Donald Trump well behind his Democratic challenger , Joe Biden , in the 2020 presidential elections , the president is desperate to convince his base that he ’ s focused and handling the country ’ s problems .

Trump is still touting his false claims that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and lose him the 2020 election .

The Associated Press wrote that:
‘CEO Mark Zuckerberg had previously refused to take action against Trump posts suggesting that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud, saying that people deserved to hear unfiltered statements from political leaders. Twitter, by contrast, slapped a “get the facts” label on them.’
The social media giant came under fire in 2016 when it was revealed that foreign actors had spread fake news about Democrats, Hillary Clinton, voting, Black Lives Matter, gun law reform, and a host of other people and issues, which most likely had a significant effect on the 2016 elections.

However, the Affordable Care Act wasn’t repealed “on day one,” Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are not in prison and never will be, and Mexico hasn’t sent us a check for that wall.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court ruled in our case that President Trump’s attempt to transfer billions of dollars in military pay and pension funds for border wall construction is unlawful. — ACLU (@ACLU) June 26, 2020
A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that Trump cannot legally appropriate funds that Congress approved for the Pentagon office to build a racist border wall across the southern border of the U.S., not that money was the biggest barrier to that, anyway. Since Mexico never sent that check, Trump decided to unlawfully divert funds to that wall, but has been shut down for now.
According to NBC News:
‘In a 2-1 ruling, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found that diverting $2.5 billion Congress had appropriated for the military violated the Constitution and is unlawful.’
Breaking: Trump admin does not have authority to divert Pentagon funds to construct additional barriers on US-Mexico border, a federal appeals court ruled, days after Trump’s visit to the wall. In 2-1 ruling, Ninth Circuit said the $2.5 billion transfer circumvented Congress. — Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) June 26, 2020
While it’s more than likely that Trump will appeal once again and possibly get the case in front of the Supreme Court, it’s highly unlikely that the case would come up for review in the SCOTUS in time for the November elections. Trump was warned numerous times and by a multitude of people that a border wall was unrealistic, unnecessary, and geographically impossible. He decided to push forward anyway.
‘The executive branch “lacked independent constitutional authority to authorize the transfer of funds,” the ruling said. “These funds were appropriated for other purposes, and the transfer amounted to ‘drawing funds from the Treasury without authorization by statute and thus violating the Appropriations Clause.’ Therefore, the transfer of funds here was unlawful.”‘

The decision comes on the heels of two SCOTUS decisions that failed to go Trump’s way. Despite his campaign promises to be a great supporter of the LGBTQ community, he fought against Obama era workplace protections for that group, only to lose despite a conservative majority on the court. Later the same week, the SCOTUS struck down his plan to remove DACA protections for immigrants brought to the United States as children by their parents.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-26--GOP Senator Begs Trump Staff To Intervene Or Face Apocalyptic Elections

On Friday , many Americans wondered if President Trump hasn ’ t simply given up on winning the 2020 presidential elections .
He can not answer questions about his agenda for his second term , the chances of which are rapidly slipping away anyway , and most of the things he says to his supporters are just repeated lines from 2016 and all the promises he made that haven ’ t been kept .
That same day , Republican Senator Chuck Grassley ( R-IA ) began pleading with people in the White House to get ahold of Trump .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republicans is hinged on an incompetent reality TV show host finally seems to have struck Trump ’ s fellow GOP officials .
The plea from Grassley comes the day after the president ’ s interview with Fox News TV host Sean Hannity , who asked Trump directly what his legislative agenda is for beyond the 2020 elections and Trump was unable to give a coherent answer .
In the vast majority of polls , Trump is losing to Biden .
In states Trump won big in 2016 , his support has shrunk , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just narrowly won , Biden is up to anywhere from one to fourteen points ahead of Trump .
Perhaps Trump should listen to the writers of the Wall Street Journal op-ed if he wants to win in 2020 , but it ’ s far more likely that he ’ ll just attack Grassley on Twitter later .
‘ Now the election is four months away , voters know him very well , and Mr. Trump has reverted to his worst form .

On Friday, many Americans wondered if President Trump hasn’t simply given up on winning the 2020 presidential elections. He cannot answer questions about his agenda for his second term, the chances of which are rapidly slipping away anyway, and most of the things he says to his supporters are just repeated lines from 2016 and all the promises he made that haven’t been kept.
That same day, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) began pleading with people in the White House to get ahold of Trump. The idea that the current power held by Republicans is hinged on an incompetent reality TV show host finally seems to have struck Trump’s fellow GOP officials. The plea from Grassley comes the day after the president’s interview with Fox News TV host Sean Hannity, who asked Trump directly what his legislative agenda is for beyond the 2020 elections and Trump was unable to give a coherent answer.
In the vast majority of polls, Trump is losing to Biden. In states Trump won big in 2016, his support has shrunk, and in the states he lost or just narrowly won, Biden is up to anywhere from one to fourteen points ahead of Trump. Perhaps Trump should listen to the writers of the Wall Street Journal op-ed if he wants to win in 2020, but it’s far more likely that he’ll just attack Grassley on Twitter later. The Wall Street Journal op-ed warned that: ‘Now the election is four months away, voters know him very well, and Mr. Trump has reverted to his worst form. His record fighting the coronavirus is better than his critics claim after a bad start in late February and March. He mobilized federal resources to help hard-hit states, especially New York. ‘But he wasted his chance to show leadership by turning his daily pandemic pressers into brawls with the bear-baiting press and any politician who didn’t praise him to the skies. Lately he has all but given up even talking about the pandemic when he might offer realism and hope about the road ahead even as the country reopens. His default now is defensive self-congratulation.’

Just kidding .
He ’ s focused on statues of slaveowners .
Trump is trying desperately to rekindle the old us versus them magic that so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2016 , but a failed rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma , Trump ’ s first in months since the shutdowns due to COVID-19 , was an absolute bust with barely a third of the arena actually full .
People seem to be growing weary with Trump ’ s insistence that everything and everyone are unfair to him while 126,000 families grieve loved ones .
Trump doesn ’ t yet understand that holding these rallies that risk people ’ s lives , going on Sean Hannity to talk nonsense instead of policy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a time of great division and suffering by the people he ’ s supposed to represent isn ’ t helping him in the polls .
He can insist all he likes that the polls are rigged and unfair to him , and he does so constantly , but it ’ s clear that Biden is outracing him and for good reason .

Trump has spent a considerable deal of time at this point harping on the point that if Coronavirus testing went down , confirmed cases would also decrease — but that doesn ’ t mean that the virus would stop spreading !
The public image aspect of the pandemic like would be served by keeping confirmed case numbers low is not remotely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rises in confirmed cases to rises in testing , but the testing rises have not been the sole cause of the spikes in confirmed cases .
Cases have been rising at sharply faster rates than testing has been rising , and the portion of those tests that have been coming back positive has been increasing .
If Coronavirus wasn ’ t spreading at a sharp rate , than the portion of tests coming back positive should be going down as the overall number of tests increase , not up .

The public image aspect of the pandemic like would be served by keeping confirmed case numbers low is not remotely relevant.
As Hillary put it:
‘Trump: “If we didn’t do testing, we’d have no cases.” And if I don’t stick my hand out the window to feel the drops, it’s not raining.’

Trump has tried to attribute rises in confirmed cases to rises in testing, but the testing rises have not been the sole cause of the spikes in confirmed cases.

If Coronavirus wasn’t spreading at a sharp rate, than the portion of tests coming back positive should be going down as the overall number of tests increase, not up.
Week over week, testing is up in states experiencing the largest epidemic spread of Covid; but new Covid cases are up to a greater degree. The exception is Florida, where Covid cases are up, but testing has declined week-over-week based on reported data. pic.twitter.com/DmUfVS4VGl — Scott Gottlieb, MD (@ScottGottliebMD) June 25, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-06-26--Pelosi Trolls Trump Over Childish Refusal To Wear A Mask

President Donald Trump may be just about the worst possible leader for this moment in American history .
Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic , the United States has been left with a guy at the helm who once said he ’ s “ never understood wind.
” This Friday , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) publicly derided Trump for his refusal throughout the pandemic to even wear a mask , a step that has been proven to significantly reduce virus transmission .
Trump has refused to wear a mask throughout public appearances at the White House grounds and trips @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this behavior for his followers .
‘ When the President of the United States says he doesn ’ t want to wear a mask and understands the bad example – well I don ’ t know if he understands anything… I ’ m in a mood because this is a matter of life and death and this administration has failed miserably.
’ She ’ s very on point .
Trump ’ s behavior is no small matter — CNN reported this week that if “ 95 % of Americans wore face masks in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by October 1 , according to the University of Washington ’ s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation , ” but how can the U.S. ever be expected to get to that level of mask-wearing if the president himself refuses to even wear one ?
He ’ s turned basic issues of public health into political footballs .
As of Friday , the U.S. stands at well over 120,000 deaths , a point that Trump once suggested the country may never reach .
He , of course , has consistently failed to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health catastrophe .
During the early days of the pandemic , his administration failed to even secure adequate personal protective equipment for medical facilities around the country , which means that the virus could have been spreading even more while patients were getting treated for the virus .
Now , Trump does seem to fail to understand some of the basic points of the pandemic .
He claims that Coronavirus case counts are growing at increased rates across the country because of increased testing , but that claim is false .
Case counts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been increasing , which Trump could grasp if he even tried to look at the relevant data .

She’s very on point. Trump’s behavior is no small matter — CNN reported this week that if “95% of Americans wore face masks in public, it could prevent 33,000 deaths by October 1, according to the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation,” but how can the U.S. ever be expected to get to that level of mask-wearing if the president himself refuses to even wear one?

bipartisanreport--2020-06-26--Bill Barr Declares Mail-In Voting Conspiracy Prepping For Election Excuse

In the lead-up to the general election this November , Attorney General Bill Barr seems ready and willing to carry water for the president ’ s most outlandish conspiracy theories .
In an interview that he did with NPR that was released this week , he claimed that mail-in voting could open the door to some kind of massive fraud — and when asked if he has any evidence supporting these claims , he admitted that he does not .
But that didn ’ t stop Barr from repeating the mail-in voting conspiracy theory anyway !
He and Trump and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mail-in voting fraud are trying to cast doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections .
Asked if he believes that mail-in voting can be trusted , Barr said : ‘ Personally , no .
I mean , we just mailed out checks under this program .
And what is it ?
I heard something like 20 percent or something were misdirected .
I know things can happen like that .
Because I know people move , a very high percentage in the United States , people move all the time .
And I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things out of mailboxes .
There ’ s so many occasions for fraud there that can not be policed .
I think it would be very bad .
But one of the things I mentioned was the possibility of counterfeiting.
’ Barr references problems with the Coronavirus relief checks program , but the evidence for these claims about supposed mail-in voting fraud is simply not there .
Asked if he had any evidence , Barr admitted he does not , but called his claims “ obvious.
” In fact , they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for many important tasks for long periods of time — in fact , five states already conduct their elections almost entirely via the mail , and in many other states , mail-in ballots are available as an option to voters across the board .
According to one estimate cited by the Brennan Center , a full one in four votes were cast via the mail in the most recent two federal elections .
Yet , there have been no reports of some kind of fraud in these elections .
Officials use many security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , NBC notes .
Barr ’ s nonsense mirrors some of the president ’ s own most outlandish conspiracy theories .
Just recently , he tweeted : This claim has no relationship to reality , but nonsense like it and what Barr has been pushing could be used as justification for questioning the integrity of the election if Trump loses .
Trump and his allies have been freaking about mail-in voting amidst the president ’ s own sinking political prospects .
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden consistently leads Trump in polls on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the country , including many states that Trump won in 2016 .
