The news stories cascade over the airwaves, flooding people’s minds with too much — too much bad news, too much frightening news, too much angry news. Donald Trump has inflicted so many knife wounds to people’s minds, that it is nearly too hard to keep up with him. Americans are weary, overwhelmed, and so tired of this president.
There are the coronavirus pandemic news articles, the crashing economy stories, the jailed immigrant ones, the murders of innocent Black men and women by white police, and now Putin’s bounties on the heads of American soldiers.
The bad news has been very good for CNN, according to The Associated Press (AP). It has had the best run for “any three-month period in the network’s 40-year history.”
People see the number of diagnosed COVID-19 cases bounce up to from 50,000 a day to 100,000 a day and counting. The deaths from this terrible disease are jarring: 75,000 dead then 100,000, and 130,000 and counting. On Wednesday, reports indicated that the going price on the head of an American Marine was up to $100,000, and the middle-man escaped to Russia leaving behind $500,000 in one of his many homes.
CNN was not alone. The Fox News Channel and MSNBC also set records in the period ending in June. Still, as the first cable news, CNN showed it could increase its audience exponentially in a strong upward swing. The cable channel has also noticed a strong upswing for its digital services.
For the past four years, Donald Trump and his supporters have continuously attacked CNN as the “fake news” and the “failing” network. Chair of the WarnerMedia News and Sports and CNN Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeff Zucker commented:
‘All of our research shows we are the most trusted name in news. Others may not believe that, others may scoff at that, the president of the United States makes fun ofit, but it’s true.’
CNN snared a 1.95 million person audience by featuring engaging well educated prime-time hosts, according to the Associated Post (AP). That was a 120 percent increase over the same three-month period one year ago.
According to the AP, Fox has routinely been at the top of the three most-watched cable networks For the total views-per-day:
‘CNN’s viewership was up 119% over 2019, Fox jumped by 48% and MSNBC by 34%.
Zucker continued:
We are a news organization that is built for this kind of time. The others in this space are political talk channels, and so even when they’re talking about these stories, they’re talking about the politics of the stories. We’re talking about the news of the stories.’
CNN increased its audience of prime-time viewers to win in the two-decade leader’s race, Fox. Nielsen said Fox News’ audience was up “4.07 million, giving it a 43% increase.” MSNBC came in with an audience of “2.47 million, up 13 percent” from the same time period in 2019.
Donald Trump has promoted Fox news shows and their hosts. MSNBC has the top-rated host, the woman whose show carries her name, The Rachel Maddow show.
MSNBC President Phil Griffin claimed that the orchestration of his network has resulted in “an unmatched level of smart, in-depth analysis:”
‘Our reporters are at the heart of the story, putting themselves in harm’s way every day. They’re doing a hell of a lot more than ‘political talk.’
CNN’a trifecta of top prime-time hosts has included: Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo (New York mayor’s brother), and Don Lemon. Media Consultant Andrew Heyward indicated that when politics dominates, that plays more closely to “the strength of Fox and MSNBC.”
Conversely, CNN has a broader appeal to draw from, and its coverage of racial stories and the pandemic has been invaluable.” In addition, The network’s “invaluable” large stable of staffers abroad, gives the network the edge:
‘CNN built its reputation on broad coverage of breaking news. More people are watching us than at any time in 40 years. The mere fact that there’s a handful of people left in Washington who can’t figure that out is not our problem.’
When the big news stories started breaking, CNN was able to assemble its top journalists and correspondents, such as Wolf Blitzer, to work the weekend.
Zucker said;
‘CNN simulcasts the CNN International network overnight in the U.S.’
He continued noting that the White House and Trump’s Twitter followers’ challenges about CNN were wrong. Case closed.
The Pew Research Center poll identified some potential CNN problems. The company’s emphasis on opinion during prime time., for example. The results found 33 percent of the viewers were Republicans who did not trust CNN. The number shot up to 58 percent last November.
Zucker note that CNN’s own research indicated that viewers returned these past three months. an increased level of mistrust was the result of Trump’s attacks. The ratings of the past three months proved the viewers return home to CNN:
‘[V]iewers still return to CNN when there is important news. There are no red flags.’

bipartisanreport--2020-07-02--New Texas General Election Polling Has Great News For Democrats

Polls from across the United States seem to indicate that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is heading for a big win this November .
Polls have Biden leading in many states where President Donald Trump won in 2016 , including Texas , where new survey results from Public Policy Polling have Biden leading in the state by 2 percent .
Biden had 48 percent of the support , while Trump had 46 percent , and 5 percent of respondents said that they were “ not sure ” who they ’ d support .
That ’ s a thin leading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be enough to flip the state into Democratic hands and thereby sweep a winning coalition away from the Republicans .
The Texas race is definitely not set in stone — some polling data , including some from YouGov that was also released this week , has Trump in the lead .
( In the YouGov data , Trump led in the state by 4 percent . )
Yet , the numbers seem to make one thing abundantly clear — the state of Texas , while perhaps traditionally leaning Republican , seems in play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to FiveThirtyEight , Trump leads in Texas polling by an average of a meager 1.2 percent .
For most of the latter half of June , Trump ’ s average lead in the state was under 1 percent .
On average , Biden leads in national polls by 9.3 percent , according to RealClearPolitics .
In a Monmouth University poll conducted in the last week of June , Biden led on the national level by a staggering 12 percent , which seems like more than enough to keep Trump from securing a winning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also currently leads in states including Michigan , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , and Florida — all of which Trump won in 2016 , in some cases by wildly small margins .
If Trump does poorly , he could drag down the chances of some of the rest of the Republican candidates on the ballot this November .
Democrats are fighting to become the majority party in the U.S. Senate , and they could do it — currently Republican-held seats in states including Colorado , Arizona , Montana , North Carolina , and Maine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cook Political Report .
That ’ s a great set of chances for Democrats .

Democrats are fighting to become the majority party in the U.S. Senate, and they could do it — currently Republican-held seats in states including Colorado, Arizona, Montana, North Carolina, and Maine are all rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report. That’s a great set of chances for Democrats.

Twitter is Donald Trump ’ s domain , his megaphone to blast the nation with his incessant tweeting .

He would not be able to threaten individuals , including politicians , and companies to tow his lying line or face catastrophic results .
People would not be able to retweet his virulent rants against immigrants after POTUS tweeted , modeling violence for his followers .
Hate crimes would go down .
Then , this happened .
Americans have watched as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media , divide the country , or spin out propaganda as facts .
POTUS could not incite violence among the white supremacists , degrade the office of the president , or promote Russia .
People would not have been mesmerized into his flock or fallen for the crazy ideas that he was a modern-day prophet — or profit , a chosen one , and yes , even the chosen one .

bipartisanreport--2020-07-02--Trump Compares Himself To ‘The Lone Ranger’ During Delusional Fox Interview

President Donald Trump seems to have slightly changed his opinion on face masks , which help stop the spread of the Coronavirus that has been surging across the country recently .
In an interview on Wednesday with Fox Business , Trump suggested that he looked like the Lone Ranger when he himself was wearing a mask , which is a change in tone from his previous mockery of mask-wearing and refusal to follow his own administration ’ s guidelines outlining the need for the face coverings .
Trump ’ s comparison of himself to the Lone Ranger — the fictional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is staggeringly delusional nonsense .
The Lone Ranger didn ’ t even wear a mask on his mouth ; he wore one over his eyes .
Besides insisting that he would “ absolutely ” wear a mask if he was in a “ tight situation with people , ” in the Fox Business interview , Trump said : ‘ I ’ m all for masks .
I think masks are good .
People have seen me wearing one… had a mask on .
I sort of liked the way I looked .
Okay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was a dark black mask , and I thought it looked okay .
It looked like the Lone Ranger .
I have no problem with that , and if people feel good about it , they should do it.
’ Trump is only publicly known to have worn a mask on one occasion ; when he toured a Ford facility in Michigan in May , he wore a mask for at least part of the behind-the-scenes component of the tour .
Although an image has emerged of him in the mask at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the press at the time , he was no longer wearing one .
At the time , he said that he “ didn ’ t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing ” him in a mask , as if wearing one or not is all some kind of game to him .
People are dying , and these are his priorities .
During his Fox Business interview , Trump revealed that he still seems to fail to grasp the seriousness of the situation .
He said : There ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to “ just disappear.
” Just this week , the U.S. is yet again hitting records for the number of new Coronavirus cases reported in a single day .
Trump seems to think that those concerned about the situation are just trying to make him look bad , although well over 125,000 Americans are dead .
There is no evidence for this conspiracy theory .
Trump just evidently prefers to play politics rather than take the situation more seriously , even though Americans ’ lives are very much at stake .

Trump said:
‘I think the Democrats would like to see the country stay closed as long as possible because they figure that’s probably good for the election, because it would be bad a little bit for jobs, and maybe a lot for jobs.’
There is no evidence for this conspiracy theory.
Trump just evidently prefers to play politics rather than take the situation more seriously, even though Americans’ lives are very much at stake.


bipartisanreport--2020-07-03--Trump Rage Tweets At ‘Rigged Election’ During Thursday Night Emotional Breakdown

It ’ s easy to tell what the president ’ s mood is by the tone of his tweets , and there are always tweets to read .
On Thursday night , Trump taunted Twitter , practically begging for another fact-check .
He typed all-caps phrases with no context .
And as always , he hung his 2020 campaign on jobs numbers that economists say don ’ t tell us much at the moment .
In other words , Trump is angry and desperate .
Trump has already been fact-checked once by Twitter for posting misleading information about mail-in ballots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to allow from any account during the “ fake news ” hearings in 2016 .
The fact-check prompted a whole conspiracy theory by the right that they suffer from censoring due to their conservative beliefs .
In truth , Trump broke the user agreement for Twitter and suffered the same consequences as anyone else would .
Trump ’ s desperate hopes that the COVID-19 virus will just “ disappear ” and the economy will boom , allowing him to stick to his one “ accomplishment ” are not coming true , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him bragging to followers .
Trump may , however , be speaking too soon .
‘ We shouldn ’ t extrapolate from these trends because some states have scaled back their reopening because of the uptick in coronvavirus cases .
It ’ s unclear what the state of the job market is right now or what we ’ ll see when the BLS releases its snapshot of the job market for mid-July.
’ Trump touted the same kind of progress during the release of the May jobs reports , which analysts say were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to COVID may still be unemployed , but their responses were categorized as employed falsely .

bipartisanreport--2020-07-03--‘Karen’ Who Pulled Gun On Black Mom Charged With Felony Assault

If there ’ s anything we ’ ve learned from the ability to film any moment thanks to cell phone cameras , it ’ s that black Americans face dangers every time they walk out their front door .
That lesson was learned once again in a viral video on Thursday of a white couple , Eric and Jillian Wuestenberg , who harassed a black woman and her three daughters while Jillian held a gun on them .
The incident began when Jillian reportedly bumped into a 15-year-old girl , who asked for an apology .
The woman began berating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her mother .
When one of the girls accused Jillian of being “ ignorant ” and “ racist , ” she pulled a gun on the four women and continued screaming that her life was in danger , repeatedly calling 911 .
According to The Detroit News : The incident ended when Eric Wuestenberg exited his vehicle , began yelling at the four women , and led Jillian into his vehicle .
As they pulled away , Jillian told the girls ’ mother that “ you can not just walk around calling white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t racist .
… I care about you , and I ’ m sorry if you had an incident that has made someone make you feel like that .
No one is racist.
” Never once did she seem to understand that seeing a black woman and three black girls as enough of a threat to deserve a gun pointed at their heads is racist in itself .
It seems none of the “ Karens ” ever do .
‘ During a Thursday afternoon press conference at Oakland County Sheriff ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played six 911 calls that came in around 6 p.m. Wednesday , one allegedly from Jillian Wuestenberg , saying she felt threatened and two females were damaging her car in the parking lot on the 4900 block of South Baldwin , near Interstate 75 .
‘ Other calls came from Chipotle employees and bystanders who saw a white woman holding a gun aimed at several Black females in the parking lot.
’ Twitter was thrilled to hear that the Wuestenbergs will answer for their actions .

According to The Detroit News:
‘Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper charged Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, each with one count of felonious assault, a four-year felony. The Independence Township couple each possessed one loaded firearm and CPL licenses, Sheriff Mike Bouchard said. The couple is expected to be arraigned later Thursday.’

On Friday, as Coronavirus cases surged across the United States and the country continued to deal with concurrent problems like rampant economic instability, President Donald Trump went golfing. It was the 365th day on which he’d spent some time at one of his own company’s properties, according to a tally reported by CNN’s Jim Sciutto. In stark contrast, on Friday, former President Barack Obama issued a message to Americans via Twitter, where he encouraged Americans to come together and take the public health steps necessary to beat back the Coronavirus. The steps that he encouraged include mask-wearing, which helps keep the virus from spreading.
Alongside a link to an article from The New York Times discussing public health safety amidst the Fourth of July weekend, Obama tweeted:

This week, Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested by the FBI and criminally charged in relation to her role in the child sex trafficking that was perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein. Eric Trump jumped on the news to try and score political points against the Clintons; on Thursday, he tweeted an image showing Maxwell at the wedding of Chelsea Clinton, captioning the image “Birds of a feather…” In the photograph, Maxwell is visible in the background while former President Bill Clinton walks Chelsea down the aisle. Eric deleted the tweet after Twitter users responded with some of the many photos showing his own father with Epstein and Maxwell.
It’s true that Donald Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein for a considerable period of time. In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine:
‘I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.’
What did Trump know? At the time of his comments, the child sex trafficking that Epstein and Maxwell perpetrated had already been taking place. Photos have emerged showing Trump with Epstein in 1992, 1997, and in 2000, and according to Epstein’s brother, the eventual president “also hitched a ride from Florida to New York on Epstein’s private plane sometime around the new millennium,” according to a New York Magazine report from 2019.

Besides his connections to Epstein and Maxwell, Trump also has been accused by numerous women of sexual harassment and assault.

273 days !
Imagine how much better off the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just a fraction of that time doing something other than golfing .
Maybe Trump could have used that time to help prepare the U.S. for the Coronavirus pandemic , the seriousness of which he ’ s ignored at just about every step of the way .

Although it’s true that the number of deaths is technically down, well over 600 deaths were reported on Thursday, which is still terrible. Many of the president’s other claims are not true. A rise in the number of tests being performed is not the sole driver of the new surge in cases. In some areas of the country, newly confirmed cases have been rising at a significantly faster rate than tests have been increasing. The portion of tests coming back positive has been increasing, and if the virus was contained, then as tests increase in number, the portion of them coming back positive should decrease. That’s not happening — instead, areas like Texas and Florida are facing huge positivity rates.
It’s worth noting — the U.S. testing regimen isn’t even as great as Trump claims. In terms of tests per capita, the U.S. is still led by countries like the U.K., Portugal, Spain, and others.
Friday morning, Trump tweeted:

Barr then announced that President Trump had officially fired Berman only for Trump to say publicly that he had nothing to do with it.
Now, some of the mystery around his firing might finally get some answers.
According to CBS News:
‘He initially refused to leave office after Attorney General William Barr released a statement that he would be “stepping down.” Barr announced the next day that President Trump had fired Berman, who then said he would comply to “respect the normal operation of law.” ‘His deputy, Audrey Strauss, is leading the high-profile office as the acting U.S. attorney. Mr. Trump intends to nominate Jay Clayton, the current chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to replace Berman.’

2. Bill Barr tried his best to fire Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the SDNY.
3. That SDNY arrested Ghislaine Maxwell, who knows everything about Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Barr, and Donald Trump. Remarkable coincidences. — Andrea Junker (@Strandjunker) July 2, 2020

But we won’t be social distancing. We’re asking them to come — be ready to celebrate, to enjoy the freedoms and the liberties that we have in this country.’
The reason they zip tied seats together is so Trump can get his live shot of a Mount Rushmore crowd close together, in open defiance of what every expert has told us to do. He's selling a narrative to fuel his base that will cost more Americans their lives just to feed his ego. pic.twitter.com/8hrJHltHgY — Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) July 4, 2020
Attendees will also sit in chairs zip-tied together so that Trump can have the appearance of a packed crowd, fearful of a badly-attended event like his Tulsa rally. This is despite CDC guidelines regarding social distancing. Trump’s ego will very likely get more people sick.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-04--Trump Says Dumb Things During 4th Of July Speech At Mt Rushmore

The day after a speech that included numerous warnings about more than half of America – the ones who are supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and demanding racial equality , of course – Donald Trump appeared at Mt .
Rushmore to give a speech on unity .
And even after 132,000 Americans have died from a global pandemic , he praised his administration ’ s response to COVID-19 .
In other words , his Fourth of July speech was all nothing more than a self-promoting sham .
While Trump touted unity for all Americans during another round of speeches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ huge number of them , saying “ this rich heritage belongs to every American.
” While it ’ s true that a history of slavery and segregation is part of America , it ’ s not a part any of us should be proud of and it ’ s not a history that people of color would like to see memorialized .
Trump then began painting his “ us versus them ” scene , as he does in every speech , saying “ we will not allow ‘ them ’ to foment hate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently , “ all Americans only include Republicans who support Trump .
The rest of us , he says are “ those that are lying about our history , those who want us to be ashamed of who we are…their goal is demolition.
” So much for unity .
In addition to his speech on how evil more than half of Americans are , he downplayed the coronavirus in front of an unmasked , not socially distanced crowd , saying that 99 percent of COVID-19 cases are “ totally harmless.
” Of course @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 132,000 Americans so far and another thousand per day , but who ’ s counting ?
Twitter is counting and let Trump know they ’ re not buying into his self praise .

While Trump touted unity for all Americans during another round of speeches about Confederate statues, he ignored a huge number of them, saying “this rich heritage belongs to every American.” While it’s true that a history of slavery and segregation is part of America, it’s not a part any of us should be proud of and it’s not a history that people of color would like to see memorialized.
Trump then began painting his “us versus them” scene, as he does in every speech, saying “we will not allow ‘them’ to foment hate,” meaning liberal protesters. So apparently, “all Americans only include Republicans who support Trump. The rest of us, he says are “those that are lying about our history, those who want us to be ashamed of who we are…their goal is demolition.” So much for unity.
In addition to his speech on how evil more than half of Americans are, he downplayed the coronavirus in front of an unmasked, not socially distanced crowd, saying that 99 percent of COVID-19 cases are “totally harmless.” Of course, that one percent has equaled up to 132,000 Americans so far and another thousand per day, but who’s counting?

bipartisanreport--2020-07-04--Trump Slurs His Words During Delusional Fourth of July Speech

During a July 3rd speech delivered in the vicinity of Mt .
Rushmore , President Donald Trump zeroed in on those who ’ ve advocated for the removal of monuments to the racists of the Confederacy .
Trump tried to depict the advocates against racist statues as somehow threatening the very foundation of American greatness — or something .
He undercut his own remarks by repeatedly seeming to stumble over words in the speech , which he was reading off of a teleprompter .
For instance , in his speech , the word “ totalitarianism ” became something along the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , of course , not the word he was trying to use .
At other points of the speech , Trump bungled his pronunciation of other words , too .
For instance , rather than using the actual name of former President Ulysses S. Grant , Trump repeatedly referred to the former commander-in-chief as “ Ulyssesius S. Grant ” — which is , of course , not the name that Trump was trying to use .
At another point , rather than the word “ founding , ” Trump said something along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is not the word .
The reason why Trump was trying to say the word totalitarianism in the first place is definitely very troubling .
Trump was trying to depict those who have sought to clamp down on public displays of racism as somehow threatening the American way of life .
It ’ s a grandiose , melodramatic description of a culture war that only exists in Republicans ’ imagination , and which exists in order to give the GOP an excuse to not admit a simple fact : they like the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they don ’ t have quite as much opposition to racism as they pretend to have , they make up vast conspiracies against American greatness , or whatever , which they use as an excuse for their nonsense .
About 130,000 Americans have died from the Coronavirus pandemic , and the virus is spreading at an increasingly rapid rate in some areas of the country .
The pandemic is straining the U.S. medical system , which in some areas is having to cope with a huge spike in need .
And the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time whining that some people want to remove racist statues honoring individuals who died , in some cases , well over 100 years ago .

bipartisanreport--2020-07-04--Trump Rages Over COVID Testing During 4th Of July Evening Meltdown

President Donald Trump still fails to grasp the basics of the Coronavirus pandemic .
This Saturday afternoon , he self-confidently posted on Twitter that an increase in Coronavirus testing capacity across the U.S. was supposedly the reason for a recent spike in confirmed Coronavirus cases across the country .
He spoke with the delusional self-confidence of someone who may have thought that he alone knew the truth while everyone around him languished in darkness .
He was wrong — plain and simple .
The rate of growth in Coronavirus cases has been increasing faster than the rate of new testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cases , Cases , Cases !
If we didn ’ t test so much and so successfully , we would have very few cases .
If you test 40,000,000 people , you are going to have many cases that , without the testing ( like other countries ) , would not show up every night on the Fake Evening News .
In a certain way , our tremendous Testing success gives the Fake News Media all they want , CASES .
In the meantime , Deaths and the all important Mortality Rate goes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about that from the Fake News , and you never will .
Anybody need any Ventilators ?
?
?
’ He is incorrect and sounds like he has no idea what he ’ s talking about .
If the U.S. wound down the level of its Coronavirus testing , the cases would still be there .
Health authorities would simply no longer be able to track and curtail the spread of the virus , which has killed around 130,000 Americans as of this weekend .
Within the current testing regimen , the portion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majorly spiking in some areas of the country .
If the virus was actually contained , then as tests increase , the portion of them coming back positive should go down .
In some areas , it ’ s not – it ’ s going up .
It ’ s important to note – while the overall number of Coronavirus deaths has been decreasing recently , it ’ s still at the terrible level of hundreds a day .
Additionally , deaths tend to lag behind new cases , so cases could spike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In the meantime , hospitals in areas like Arizona and Texas are facing strain from the high levels of need – and Trump delusionally ignores all of these issues .
