It hurt to watch. A clearly exhausted nurse came in front of the camera and wept as her fatigue and the vast expanse of the pandemic entered her words for us. In spite of this, President Barack Obama does a pretty good straight-man performance in the midst of suffering. He is operating quietly, never stealing the spotlight from his former vice president, President-elect Joe Biden. Yet, he is taking some real essential actions, and that infectious smile lets people know that it will be okay, the COVID-19 virus will go away one day.
Still, there is something that Obama wanted to say to us. He is urging us to all “do our part” and “protect one another.” Somehow when it says it, there is the desire to join with him in doing our part to save America and all the Americans she holds close to her heart. He tweeted:
‘With COVID-19 cases reaching an all-time high this week, we’ve got to continue to do our part to protect one another. This pandemic is far from over and your actions can help save lives.’
Then, we realized that five medical women were holding signs that read
‘We stay at work for you, please stay at home for us.’
President Obama’s tweet exploded like fireworks over Washington DC. Check out what some of our favorites responders had to say below:
Thank you for continuing to do your part. Your willingness to stay engaged with the American people is admirably unselfish ✨🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/EEdVKjnt6E — BlackLee (@LikeWater365) December 8, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-12-08--Giuliani & Ellis Issue Delusional Tuesday Statement As Court Losses Mount

Courts have not accepted the Trump team ’ s allegations of systematic election fraud anywhere in the country , but the president ’ s ramshackle so-called legal team has pledged to keep up the fight anyway .
Tuesday , December 8 marked the so-called “ safe harbor ” deadline in the electoral college process , when statewide election results that have been certified “ are considered to be conclusive , and will apply in the counting of the electoral votes , ” as a report from the Congressional Research Service explains .
Electoral college members who are “ certified by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — making them extremely difficult to dispute in the courts , ” ABC says , but in a Tuesday statement , Giuliani and Ellis pledged to “ continue to champion election integrity until every legal vote is counted fairly and accurately.
” On Tuesday , Giuliani and Ellis said as follows : ‘ The ‘ Safe Harbor Deadline ’ is a statutory timeline that generally denotes the last day for states to certify election results .
However , it is not unprecedented for election contests to last well beyond December 8… The only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the inauguration of the President on January 20 at noon .
Despite the media trying desperately to proclaim that the fight is over , we will continue to champion election integrity until every legal vote is counted fairly and accurately.
’ Read Giuliani and Ellis ’ s full statement in the post below : In reality , “ if a state has completed its post-election certification by Dec. 8 , Congress is required to accept those results , ” election law professor Rebecca Green explained to the Associated Press .
With many states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Biden ’ s win is yet again getting confirmed as the process proceeds .
Throwing out election results that have been certified by Tuesday could possibly require a change to federal law , meaning that the necessary scope of a prospective Trump team victory is large — and there ’ s no indication that such a victory for the president is on the horizon .
Meanwhile , election-related challenges continue to rage in the judiciary , including a court challenge that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , a Republican , announced on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ key swing states where Biden won .
Paxton requested an extension of the Monday deadline for the electoral college vote , but there ’ s no particular indication that the U.S. Supreme Court , where he targeted his lawsuit , will grant his request .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-08--Michigan Court Sternly Blocks GOP Demand For Election Audit

Wayne County , Michigan ’ s Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny has newly denied a Republican demand for an audit of election results in Wayne County , which includes Detroit , prior to the scheduled electoral college vote on Monday .
The Republican plaintiffs in the case , including local elected official Cheryl Costantino and Edward McCall , Jr. , had requested an audit by the Wayne County Clerk , but Judge Kenny concluded that election audit responsibilities belong to the office of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson ( D ) .

” Furthermore , Kenny added that the “ Court could not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ date of the audit ” that is already provided for by state rules .
Costantino and McCall based their demand for an audit on an allegation “ that election workers at downtown Detroit ’ s TCF Center processed and counted ballots from voters whose names were not listed in the qualified voter file and used random names from the list when a voter ’ s name could not be confirmed , ” in the description of Courthouse News , but their claims are “ not grounded in fact ” and “ not grounded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ David Fink recently insisted .

‘TOMORROW: New York Attorney General @TishJames joins us LIVE to weigh in on the latest headlines and to discuss her investigation into the Trump organization.’
CNN White House Correspondent April Ryan said “You can’t run if you’re sitting in jail. Tick tock (sic), tick tock (sic):”
“[Attorney General of New York] Letitia James is waiting on you. And you keep talking about you’re running again in 2024, but you can’t run if you’re sitting in jail. Tick tock, tick tock,” – said @TheView moderator @WhoopiGoldberg about @realDonaldTrump! #TheView/\’

‘Mary Trump on “The View” just said that “Trump hasn’t transformed the GOP as much as he’s revealed it’s true nature”. Sadly, I think she’s right.’
James said whether Trump is the president means nothing when it comes to her investigation:
‘The fact that Mr. Trump is the president of the United States really has no bearing on our investigation. In fact, the election has no bearing on our investigation. We’ll continue our investigation whether he’s president or not.’

Under current circumstances, Paxton wants to block members of the electoral college from Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin from participating in the electoral college voting process, and he also seeks an extension of the deadline for that process. Paxton — who’s reportedly been under FBI investigation over allegations that he used his position for the benefit of a political donor — complained as follows, referring to the targeted states:
‘Their failure to abide by the rule of law casts a dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election. We now ask that the Supreme Court step in to correct this egregious error.’
The U.S. Supreme Court has jurisdiction over disputes between states, but although Trump has nominated three of the justices who are currently on the bench, there’s no concrete indication that the court will rule in the GOP’s favor. Trump-nominated judges elsewhere in the federal judiciary have ruled decisively against Trump and the GOP throughout this year’s electoral process.
In a public statement after Paxton’s lawsuit emerged, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, derided the effort as a “publicity stunt, not a serious legal pleading.” She said as follows:
‘The motion filed by the Texas Attorney General is a publicity stunt, not a serious legal pleading. The erosion of confidence in our democratic system isn’t attributable to the good people of Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia or Pennsylvania but rather to partisan officials, like Mr. Paxton, who place loyalty to a person over loyalty to their country.’
Nessel added that the “Michigan issues raised in this complaint have already been thoroughly litigated and roundly rejected in both state and federal courts — by judges appointed from both political parties.” Read her statement in full below:

No matter Paxton’s allegiance to the cause of Republican partisanship, the Trump-allied legal fight against the election results simply has not earned any election outcome-altering victories anywhere in the country.
Similarly, no legitimate evidence has emerged in support of the president’s claims that fraudsters “rigged” the election against him.

Paxton is somewhat of a shady character and is currently under investigation by federal agents for bribery after several whistleblowers in his office reported him for corruption. Considering Trump’s potentially illegal abuse of his pardon power to bargain with others, Paxton may find himself well rewarded for his efforts.

Paxton claims in the lawsuit that the swing states in question violated the Constitution by expanding access to mail-in voting, which each did to protect their constituents from COVID-19. While the president refused to act, these elected officials who oversee elections are not so incompetent.
According to CNBC:
‘The filing argues that those states used the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to unlawfully change their election rules “through executive fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity.” ‘“Any electoral college votes cast by such presidential electors appointed” in those states “cannot be counted,” Texas asks the high court to rule.’

In addition to the elected officials who signed onto the statement, Georgia’s Deputy Secretary of State, a Republican, also voiced his angered opinion about the Texas lawsuit that threatens to thwart democracy in his state.
‘The claims in Texas’ lawsuit “are false and irresponsible,” Georgia’s deputy secretary of state, Jordan Fuchs, said in a fiery statement shortly after Paxton announced the legal action.
‘“Texas alleges that there are 80,000 forged signatures on absentee ballots in Georgia, but they don’t bring forward a single person who this happened to. That’s because it didn’t happen,” Fuchs’ statement said.’
The Supreme Court has rejected a Pennsylvania Republican congressman’s request to prevent Pennsylvania from certifying its presidential election results in favor of Joe Biden. This case is different from the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas this morning. https://t.co/ReS0eU0JsY pic.twitter.com/ybt6Dvlom4 — SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) December 8, 2020

Donald Trump has begun to feel his power ebb away as the nation turns toward the President-elect Joe Biden’s ascension to the presidency. Just like an old-fashioned clock with two hands, Trump’s presidency wanes more and more with each second. His threats do not carry nearly the influence they once had. Take this defense bill.
Tuesday, the House passed its annual defense policy bill as easily as it ever has 335-78, even though POTUS threatened to veto any defense bill that crossed his desk. That is, should it not include language forbidding the bases from changing their names. Never mind that some of those names were of notorious slave owners, and 40 percent of the military are persons of color.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) spoke prior to the vote on Tuesday. She said:
‘This bipartisan policy bill has been signed into law for 59 consecutive years. Let’s urge the president to show respect to the work of the bicameral, bipartisan Congress and for the sacrifice of our military.’
Trump tried to force the Republicans to go against the bill, but apparently, his threats are futile:
‘I hope House Republicans will vote against the very weak National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which I will VETO.’
Ahead of the vote, Trump upped the pressure on Republicans to oppose the bill. The White House also issued a formal statement of administration policy Tuesday afternoon saying:
‘[Trump’s] advisors would recommend he veto [because the bill] fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military’s history, and contradicts efforts by this administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions.’
Chair of the Freedom Caucus Andy Biggs (R-AZ) held a news conference Tuesday afternoon:
‘We stand with the president, and we stood with him over the last four years rebuilding the military, and we continue to stand with him as he desires to do so. This particular NDAA bill, however, is filled with flaws and problems.’
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also agreed that he would not override a presidential veto:
‘I don’t believe Republicans, in our work with the president always, that you vote to override a veto.’
Representative Mac Thornberry (R-TX) told reporters on Monday:
‘All members have to bear the consequences of a “no” vote. And one of the consequences is that military pay is going to go down, that we are going to forgo a lot of important bipartisan steps to better compete with the threat from China.’
Number three Republican in the House of Representatives Liz Cheney (R-WY) also spoke to the reporters. She said:
‘[W]e’ve got to pass the NDAA, and the president should not veto it. And we should override.’
Senator John Thune (R-SD), who is the number two Republican said on Monday that he was looking for a “big” vote this week. However, he did not respond when asked if the Republicans had the votes to override a presidential veto.

In news of the election that will never end in Donald Trump’s mind, the Trump team has officially lost 51 cases and won one temporary slowdown of mail-in vote counts that have now been counted and added to Joe Biden’s unprecedented six million vote lead. One would think the Trump legal team would have given up by now, but donations to the legal fund are pouring in and landing right in Trump’s and his associates’ pockets.
🚨🚨BREAKING: A unanimous Arizona Supreme Court AFFIRMS "the trial court decision and confirming the election of the Biden Electors under A.R.S. § 16-676(B)." Arizona is DONE!!! Trump and his allies remain 1-51 in post-election litigation.https://t.co/gXiCj2xUR1 — Marc E. Elias (@marceelias) December 9, 2020
Republicans argued in court that duplicate ballots, which are generated when the original ballot is damaged and unable to be tabulated by a machine, were fraudulent and counted twice. Despite a review of a sample number of ballots that showed a .37 percent error rate, Republicans continued to insist that the rate was actually .55 percent. The court determined that, no matter which of the two was correct, Trump still lost the election.
‘Although Appellant requested additional time and the opportunity to review additional ballots, Appellant offered no evidence to establish that the 1626-ballot sample was inadequate to demonstrate any fraud, if present. As the trial court noted, this review confirmed the witness testimony that there were mistakes in the duplication process, the mistakes were few, and when brought to the attention of election workers, they were fixed. Extrapolating this error rate to all 27,869 duplicate ballots in the county would result in a net increase of only 103 votes based on the 0.37% error rate or 153 votes using the 0.55% error rate, neither of which is sufficient to call the election results into question.’ Trump has lost Arizona multiple times now, just as he has in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. He’s lost the election, but he’ll continue to undermine American’s faith in democracy, doing Russia’s work for them, as long as the money keeps pouring in. Twitter was grateful to Marc Elias, the American attorney fighting for voting rights, who posted the news. Read some of their comments below:

Are they in on the imaginary plot as well? The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that there is “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” which unequivocally refutes some of Trump’s fundamental claims.
On Tuesday at the White House, Trump added as follows:
‘We were rewarded with a victory, now let’s see whether or not somebody has the courage — whether it’s a legislator or legislatures or whether it’s a Justice of the Supreme Court or a number of Justices of the Supreme Court — let’s see if they have the courage to do what everybody in this country knows is right.

He’s an ignorant deceiver. Watch Trump’s comments below:

Their under-the-table deals and Jared Kushner’s midnight hops to the Mideast will begin to lose the fog that has surrounded them while they were in office. This is how.
Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) have already started a new investigation Wednesday that deals directly specifically with Ivanka’s husband’s questionable interactions with Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries, according to the Law and Crime site.
Their latest investigation seeks to discover whether Kushner pushed Trump to go along with a Qatari blockade at the same time Kushner Companies were hawking for a billion-dollar-plus bailout money in the region.
The trouble with that little con was that the United States has a vital base seated on Qatari. Kushner and Trump pulled the emergency brake on the whole deal — but not before Ivanka’s husband had a signed deal with Qatari.
The two men sent a four-page letter to Trump’s senior counsel Scott Gast in the Office of White House Counsel. It read:
‘We write to seek information on any ethics guidance that has been provided to Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner on potential conflicts of interest related to Kushner Companies, a real estate company owned and operated by his family in which he remains a significant investor.’
The investigation has narrowed its intense focus on the white elephant Jared bought before the whole real estate army collapsed in upon itself.
Ivanka’s husband unwisely urged the company to buy up the skyscraper for $1.8 billion. Then, the economy crashed.
The two politicians sourced their report from The New Yorker, too:
‘It was against this backdrop that Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, met in April 2017 with Qatari Finance Minister Sharif Al Emadi, to solicit an investment from Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund for the 666 Fifth Avenue property. According to a financial analyst familiar with the meeting, Charles Kushner asked the Qataris ‘for just under a billion dollars.’
After the Qataris refused, Kushner apparently met with officials from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. No surprise here —without U.S. diplomats.
Then, the letter quoted former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s comments during his testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in May 2019:
‘During this private meeting, Saudi and UAE officials reportedly discussed the blockade they were planning to impose on Qatar with him.’
Investment firm Brookfield Asset Management has had links to both Qatar and the UAE. It leased the 666 Fifth Avenue building in 2019. A subsidiary of the company, Brookfield Property Partners, signed the binding 99-year lease. The subsidiary’s second-largest investor has been Qatar:
‘Mr. Kushner, the President’s son-in-law, has made the unprecedented choice to serve as Assistant and Senior Adviser to the President while still retaining his stake in a substantial amount of real estate holdings and assets directly linked to Kushner Companies, a family business in which he served as the Chief Executive Officer until joining the Administration. Jared Kushner’s initial public financial disclosure form filed in 2017 indicates that he retained almost 90 percent of his real estate holdings, which at the time were valued between $132 million and $407 million.’
This was not the first letter Castro and Wyden sent addressing the topic. They wrote to Brookfield’s CEO Bruce Flatt about the company’s operations. It read in part:
‘During negotiations with Kushner Companies, were any representatives from Brookfield Asset Management aware that Mr. Kushner and his family had held previous discussions with Qatari government officials and businessmen, including the April 24, 2017 meeting between Charles Kushner and Minister Ali Sharif Al Emadi?’
Casto and Wyden requested a response and associated documents by December 23.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-09--Michigan Supreme Court Deals Embarrasing Wednesday Loss To Trump Allies

The Michigan Supreme Court has newly rejected a lawsuit in which the right-wing Thomas More Society sought to block the certification of presidential election results in Michigan , where President-elect Joe Biden won with a clear and decisive leading margin .
The group sought to compel the separation of certain ballots from the rest of the tallies , voting rights lawyer Marc Elias explains .
In total , Trump and his allies have lost in at least 53 court cases around the country , according to Elias ’ s tally , with just one win .
That record isn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case against the election results — to say the least .
Like states across the country , Michigan ’ s election results are already certified , and the so-called “ safe harbor ” deadline in the electoral college process has passed , making future court challenges against the election outcome even more difficult than before .
This year ’ s so-called safe harbor deadline was on December 8 , and election law professor Rebecca Green recently explained to the Associated Press that “ [ what ] federal law requires is that if a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dec. 8 , Congress is required to accept those results.
” In other words , successful challenges to the election results might require some kind of change to federal legal precedent , in addition to the responsibility of the Republican plaintiffs to prove their allegations of systematic fraud .
Ongoing court challenges include a case that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , a Republican , announced this week in which he ’ s seeking to invalidate the election outcome in Pennsylvania , Wisconsin , Michigan , and Georgia , all of which he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time before the election .
There ’ s no particular indication that the U.S. Supreme Court , which has jurisdiction over the inter-state lawsuit , will rule in Paxton ’ s favor , no matter Trump ’ s own public support for the lawsuit .
Just this week , the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge from Pennsylvania Republicans against the election results in their state .
Local election officials of both major parties from around the country , the Department of Homeland Security , and Attorney General Bill Barr himself have all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of election outcome-altering fraud .
When will the fool ’ s errand of the numerous Trump-allied lawsuits over the election finally end ?

The Michigan Supreme Court has newly rejected a lawsuit in which the right-wing Thomas More Society sought to block the certification of presidential election results in Michigan, where President-elect Joe Biden won with a clear and decisive leading margin. The group sought to compel the separation of certain ballots from the rest of the tallies, voting rights lawyer Marc Elias explains. In total, Trump and his allies have lost in at least 53 court cases around the country, according to Elias’s tally, with just one win. That record isn’t exactly a sign of a strong case against the election results — to say the least.

Like states across the country, Michigan’s election results are already certified, and the so-called “safe harbor” deadline in the electoral college process has passed, making future court challenges against the election outcome even more difficult than before. This year’s so-called safe harbor deadline was on December 8, and election law professor Rebecca Green recently explained to the Associated Press that “[what] federal law requires is that if a state has completed its post-election certification by Dec. 8, Congress is required to accept those results.” In other words, successful challenges to the election results might require some kind of change to federal legal precedent, in addition to the responsibility of the Republican plaintiffs to prove their allegations of systematic fraud.
Ongoing court challenges include a case that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, announced this week in which he’s seeking to invalidate the election outcome in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia, all of which he alleges unconstitutionally expanded mail-in voting in the time before the election. There’s no particular indication that the U.S. Supreme Court, which has jurisdiction over the inter-state lawsuit, will rule in Paxton’s favor, no matter Trump’s own public support for the lawsuit. Just this week, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge from Pennsylvania Republicans against the election results in their state.
Local election officials of both major parties from around the country, the Department of Homeland Security, and Attorney General Bill Barr himself have all confirmed that there’s no evidence of election outcome-altering fraud. When will the fool’s errand of the numerous Trump-allied lawsuits over the election finally end?

POTUS sent out new tweets on Wednesday midday. His logic, if it can be called that, resembles an Escher painting where stairs fold within each other, puzzle pieces fly into an infinity symbol, and two left hands draw the other one. Trump actually said “if somebody cheated” why not immediately overturn the election? This from the ultimate cheat:
‘If somebody cheated in the Election, which the Democrats did, why wouldn’t the Election be immediately overturned? How can a Country be run like this?’
Then, the president tried to convince his followers that an early electoral advantage meant his presidential win, when all of the mail-in ballots had not even been counted. Republicans tend to vote in person. Democrats tend to use the mail-in ballots. Mr. President, think about it:
‘At 10:00 P.M. on Election Evening, we were at 97% win with the so-called “bookies”.’
Twitter world caught on fire after Trump tried to burn down the White House (figuratively). Take a look at some of our favorites below:

The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania , a Pennsylvania state court , has newly rejected a lawsuit from Pennsylvania state Representatives who sought the invalidation of the state ’ s presidential election results .
( President-elect Biden won Pennsylvania . )
The court characterized their lawsuit as “ an improper and untimely election contest , ” explaining that under Pennsylvania law , “ election contests ” challenging the results of the presidential election must be filed within 20 days after Election Day in that particular race .
Therefore , the court explains , the deadline for a “ Class II ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meaning a court challenge focused on the presidential election results — was November 23 .
Nevertheless , the plaintiffs in this case filed their lawsuit on December 4 .
At present , reporter Jeremy Roebuck says , the only active court challenge over the election results in Pennsylvania is a case that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , a Republican , announced this week .
Paxton — who ’ s reportedly been under FBI investigation for allegedly using his position for the benefit of a political donor — is seeking the invalidation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the basis of the allegation that Pennsylvania unconstitutionally expanded mail-in voting ahead of the election .
Paxton makes the same claims against Wisconsin , Michigan , and Georgia , where he also seeks to invalidate the presidential election results .
President Donald Trump , whose allies have repeatedly failed in their post-Election Day lawsuits across the nation , has praised Paxton ’ s lawsuit .
On Twitter , Trump characterized Paxton ’ s lawsuit as “ the big one ” and said that his own team would apparently be intervening in the case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The case is before the U.S. Supreme Court , which has exclusive jurisdiction over court fights between states , but — no matter the fact that three of Trump ’ s own nominees currently sit on the bench — there ’ s no particular indication that the court will rule in Trump ’ s favor .
Just this week , the court rejected a case that Pennsylvania Republicans brought against the election results in their state , although the justices did not issue an opinion alongside their rejection .
Broadly , Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recent presidential election are not grounded in fact .
Local election officials around the country , the Department of Homeland Security , and Attorney General Bill Barr have all confirmed that there ’ s no legitimate evidence of outcome-altering fraud .

Donald Trump Jr. is alleging that California Congressman Eric Swalwell ( D ) slept with a Chinese spy , despite no apparent legitimate evidence that actually supports this assertion .
Donald Jr. raised the claim after Axios released a story outlining the efforts of a woman named Christine Fang to cultivate ties with U.S. politicians while working for Chinese intelligence services — but the story simply does not allege that Swalwell had any kind of physical relationship with the operative .
Trump Jr. ’ s claims are belligerent conjecture , based — apparently — on the Axios detail that Christine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors.
” On Twitter , Trump Jr. recently claimed that Swalwell “ who spent years saying I was an agent of Russia was literally sleeping with a Chinese spy at the time , ” adding : “ You can ’ t make this stuff up ” — although that ’ s exactly what Trump Jr. seems to have done .
Again : the Axios story does not allege that Swalwell had a physical relationship with Christine Fang — it simply doesn ’ t .

These details are not equivocal or dubious .
The time span covered by the story doesn ’ t even seem to extend to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential spotlight !
In Wednesday Twitter posts , Trump Jr. went all in on claiming that CNN and top Democrats are promoting Chinese interests over those of the United States , but these claims are simply hyperbolic nonsense .
Trump Jr. insisted that CNN is “ as bad as the Chinese spies at this point , ” which is simply ludicrous — and mirrors the president ’ s own virulent rhetoric .
The older Trump has , of course , repeatedly characterized the media as the “ enemy of the people.
” On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Chinese authorities “ know the democrats are more likely to fight for China ’ s interests than America ’ s. ” In yet another follow-up post , Donald Jr. insisted that “ Mainstream media truly loves China and hates America , just like the democrats , ” which is nonsense .
