The Republicans sat on their hands during Donald Trump’s impeachment just at the end of 2019. If they could have responded to the Democrats’ claims, the GOP would not be in such difficulties now as they face the loss of the Senate to Democrats. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has started wearing a mask, but that is symbolically much like the old saying goes, opening the door to let the horses out after the barn burned down.
Trump only had a year to go, they said. What could he possibly do in just a year? Well, burn down the economy, torch Americans with a dangerous highly contagious coronavirus, and set off racial protests across the country. The list of casualties goes on.
In a new book, House Democratic counsel Norm Eisen opened up the doors for a behind-the-scenes look at how the impeachment of 45 occurred. He laid “out all the abuse & obstruction of the past 3.5 years” according to his tweet:
‘My new book is coming 7/28! When the Senate refused to convict Trump, I decided to make the case to you, the American people. I will take you behind the scenes of impeachment & also lay out ALL the abuse & obstruction of the past 3.5 years. Preorders: http://bitly.ws/8UJh’
Eisen helped draft the articles of impeachment against the president. His new book A Case for the American People: The United States V. Donald Trump explained how the impeachment investigation unfolded. It will be released on July 28.
According to The Associated Press: Eisen decided to take the case to the American people after the Republicans refused to indict Trump. His book gives a “detailed behind-the-scenes account of the attempts to bring the President to justice.”
‘As a lead drafter of the articles of impeachment, he pulls back the curtain to reveal the 10 prospective articles — not just the two publicly tried. A Case for the American People is a gripping narrative and rousing closing argument.’
Eisen was counsel for the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee as they moved to impeach POTUS last year. He also worked as the ambassador to the Czech Republic for President Barack Obama.
Trump was impeached by the House Democratics late last year for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. In his book In John Bolton’s book, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, the former National Security Adviser said that the Democrats’ impeachment was too narrow, focusing on the president’s covert activities in the Ukraine. Bolton refused to appear during the impeachment hearings. He was accused of choosing the money from his book deal over patriotism to the United States.
The House claimed Trump committed impeachable actions by trying to leverage nearly $400 million in Ukraine military funding in trade for dirt on the former vice president.
The publisher wrote about Eisen:
‘He previously served as ethics czar for President Barack Obama and then as his ambassador to the Czech Republic. Eisen is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, and his previous books include The Last Palace and Democracy’s Defenders. Eisen is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and a globally-recognized authority on law, ethics, and anti-corruption. He served as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee for the Trump impeachment from February 2019 to February 2020.’
The publisher continued:
‘He is also the author of The Last Palace: Europe’s Turbulent Century in Five Lives and One Legendary House and the editor of Democracy’s Defenders: U.S. Embassy Prague, the Fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia, and Its Aftermath. Eisen served in the White House from January 2009 to January 2011 as special counsel and special assistant to the president for ethics and government reform, and was the U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014.’
The Senate acquitted Trump.
Twitter world caught fire after Eisen released his book. Check out what Americans had to say about that state of the nation below:

President Donald Trump has spent a huge amount of time at properties branded with his own name while in office. According to a tracker from NBC News, on at least 269 days of his presidency, Trump has spent some time at a golf course owned by his family business. This Sunday, he went golfing yet again, although the U.S. continues to face serious crises like the Coronavirus pandemic and the reported bounties that Russian authorities put on American troops. When Trump arrived at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, this Sunday, his motorcade was reportedly confronted by protesters including one holding a sign calling on Trump to resign.
A reporter with the White House press pool shared:
‘The motorcade has arrived at Trump National Golf Club, in Sterling, Virginia… As we drove up, your pooler saw a handful of protesters holding signs including one calling President Trump a “HUGE FAILURE” and another calling on him to “RESIGN.”’

Trump has never seemed fond of protests. At one point, around the time of protests against his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, Trump even suggested to one conservative reporter that protests should be banned in the U.S. altogether. That ban would, of course, seriously infringe upon the Constitutionally-protected right to free speech, but Trump doesn’t seem to particularly care.
He repeatedly wheels out grandiose, melodramatic conspiracy theories about his opponents. For instance, he once suggested that protesters who had confronted then-Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) as he boarded an elevator were secretly paid by George Soros. At the time, he tweeted:
‘The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love!’

Although Trump likes to dismiss protesters as supposedly irrelevant, the reality is that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads Trump in many polls on the national level and in individual swing states.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-05--Bolton Reveals Embarrassing Trump Secret During CBS Interview

President Donald Trump ’ s former national security adviser John Bolton has made a complete break with the Trump administration .
Trump has tried to discredit Bolton , but considering Trump ’ s own long history of brazenly lying , his attempts to pressure Bolton out of the spotlight are not exactly credible or effective .
This weekend during an appearance on CBS ’ s Face The Nation , Bolton discussed issues including where the president gets his information , and he helped shine a light on just how obsessed that Trump is with a particular “ information ” source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obsessive television watcher , Bolton indicated , although one might hope that a president of the United States might occupy themselves with other tasks .
Bolton didn ’ t actually point to any role for government advisers in the president ’ s thinking at all .
Instead , he cited the television and political allies of the president who are outside of government as instrumental to the president ’ s thinking .
‘ Well I think it ’ s a combination of television and listening to people outside the government that he trusts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that if you could clock the amount of time he ’ s spent actually in the Oval Office versus the amount of time he spends in the little dining room off the Oval Office with the cable news networks of one form or another on , it would be a very interesting statistic.
’ This interview is definitely not the first occasion in which the president ’ s refusal to do serious work and concurrent obsession with the television have been on full display .
Way back towards the beginning of 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president ’ s private schedules , and around 60 percent of the scheduled time was taken up by dubiously named “ executive time , ” which no doubt included a whole lot of watching television .
When those schedules leaked , Trump tried to convince observers that he actually works very diligently .
Does he think that we can ’ t all see the tweets that he posts at just about all hours of the day and night ?
At the time , Trump tweeted : ‘ The media was able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easy to do , but it should have been reported as a positive , not negative .
When the term Executive Time is used , I am generally working , not relaxing .
In fact , I probably work more hours than almost any past President.
’ Trump has been similarly vehement in his attacks against Bolton .
Bolton is one of a significant number of former members of Trump ’ s administration who have written books describing their time there .
Bolton ’ s memoir came out recently ; called The Room @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sued to try and block the book , but they were unsuccessful .

President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton has made a complete break with the Trump administration. Trump has tried to discredit Bolton, but considering Trump’s own long history of brazenly lying, his attempts to pressure Bolton out of the spotlight are not exactly credible or effective. This weekend during an appearance on CBS’s Face The Nation, Bolton discussed issues including where the president gets his information, and he helped shine a light on just how obsessed that Trump is with a particular “information” source: the television. Trump is an obsessive television watcher, Bolton indicated, although one might hope that a president of the United States might occupy themselves with other tasks.
Host Margaret Brennan asked:
‘Does the president and his thinking get more shaped by television or government advisers?’
Bolton didn’t actually point to any role for government advisers in the president’s thinking at all. Instead, he cited the television and political allies of the president who are outside of government as instrumental to the president’s thinking.
Bolton explained:
‘Well I think it’s a combination of television and listening to people outside the government that he trusts for one reason or another. I think that if you could clock the amount of time he’s spent actually in the Oval Office versus the amount of time he spends in the little dining room off the Oval Office with the cable news networks of one form or another on, it would be a very interesting statistic.’
Watch below:

This interview is definitely not the first occasion in which the president’s refusal to do serious work and concurrent obsession with the television have been on full display. Way back towards the beginning of 2019, someone leaked around three months of the president’s private schedules, and around 60 percent of the scheduled time was taken up by dubiously named “executive time,” which no doubt included a whole lot of watching television.
When those schedules leaked, Trump tried to convince observers that he actually works very diligently. Does he think that we can’t all see the tweets that he posts at just about all hours of the day and night? At the time, Trump tweeted:
‘The media was able to get my work schedule, something very easy to do, but it should have been reported as a positive, not negative. When the term Executive Time is used, I am generally working, not relaxing. In fact, I probably work more hours than almost any past President.’
Nonsensical self-aggrandizement isn’t exactly convincing.
The media was able to get my work schedule, something very easy to do, but it should have been reported as a positive, not negative. When the term Executive Time is used, I am generally working, not relaxing. In fact, I probably work more hours than almost any past President….. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 10, 2019
Trump has been similarly vehement in his attacks against Bolton.
Recently, he tweeted:
‘Wow, I finally agree with failed political consultant Steve Schmidt, who called Wacko John Bolton “a despicable man who failed in his duty to protect America.” Also stated that he should never be allowed to serve in government again. So true!’
…..who was all washed up until I brought him back and gave him a chance, broke the law by releasing Classified Information (in massive amounts). He must pay a very big price for this, as others have before him. This should never to happen again!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 20, 2020
Bolton is one of a significant number of former members of Trump’s administration who have written books describing their time there. Bolton’s memoir came out recently; called The Room Where It Happened, the Trump administration sued to try and block the book, but they were unsuccessful.

Former senior advisor to the First Lady Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is set to release a tell-all about her former friend and boss just before the 2020 election. The book is reported to be “mostly negative” and includes revelations about the true nature of the controversy over Trump’s inauguration funds, which Wilkoff oversaw.
The Daily Beast reports that:
‘According to people familiar with the project, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff—who was previously seen by the first lady as a loyal confidante and helped plan President Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration in Washington, D.C.—will release a tell-all, Melania and Me, on Sept. 1.’

Just as Bolton’s and Mary Trump’s books describe crimes committed by the Trumps, Wolkoff may be able to shed some light on questionable activities, and potentially illegal activities, related to the inaugural committee. Wolkoff reportedly was involved in the investigation by SDNY prosecutors.
‘According to the Times, the one-time Melania Trump confidante was also cooperating with Manhattan federal prosecutors investigating the Trump inaugural committee’s fundraising and spending. A spokesman from SDNY did not respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment.’

After an investigation, the rope in Wallace’s car’s stall was revealed to have already been there before the driver was assigned to the station. In other words, it was not targeting Wallace specifically, by all appearances. Wallace commented:

The president is saying the decision of NASCAR to ban the confederate flag from its races is hurting ratings.

‘We did what was right and we will do just fine without your support.’
Reddick later retweeted a message from sports reporter Bob Pockrass, who shared:
‘There is nothing to apologize for when: –Taking a perceived threat seriously –People show support for one another –Making policy to be more inclusive & more welcoming –Doing what you feel is right, regardless of any perceived business consequences’

bipartisanreport--2020-07-06--Schiff Exposes Trump For Not Caring About Coronavirus Deaths

Every time Donald Trump hits a new low , we can not help but hope that the elevator of descent into the fiery flames of hell has reached the bottom floor .
We just found out that this president has known Russia ’ s dictator Vladimir Putin placed a bounty on the heads of our precious sons and daughters in uniform for a long time .
Now , we see that Trump has just taken us down another floor lower , and the walls of the elevator have been getting hotter .
The Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch painted his idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ circles .
He called it Dante ’ s Inferno , according to the World of Dante and Dante Alighieri ’ s book Dante ’ s Inferno .
The president has taken the country way past the first circle , which is a way station for those who were good , just not good enough .
Even before Trump took office he had been to the Second Circle of Lust — several times .
Once he checked in at the White House , we discovered that POTUS had a thing for fast food and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , there was Greed .
Take the elevator way down to the Eighth Circle of hell .
Look over the balcony railing into the dark depths to find where the politicians live , otherwise known as Fraud .
That is where this president has been fooling around .
However , Dante ’ s fraud was far more complex and terrifying than plain old every-day fraud .
Fortunately , the Indiana Jones of the House , Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff ( D-CA ) has picked up the gauntlet and held 45 accountable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s people have decided that even though over 132,000 Americans have been struck dead from the coronavirus , he hopes that people will just “ grow numb.
” Apparently , Trump has been numb to the deaths , grief , and fears of those in the country he was supposed to lead for a long time .
Schiff took on Trump and said “ Americans will not ‘ Grow Numb ’ as thousands more of our fellow citizens die : ” People actually believe Trump ’ s conspiracy theories and wild assertions .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a community of nonthinkers .
One of the best examples of a Trumper ’ s way of thinking came from Eric Feigl-Ding who wrote : Interested in the other circles of Dante ’ s Hell ?
They go on from the Fourth Circle ( Greed ) all the way down to the Ninth Circle .
Check out the Eight Circle where politicians linger .
It has a little more detail .
Apparently , this president has a never-ending black hole for Greed ( Circle Four ) .
According to those who escaped from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Fifth Circle of Wrath is well and alive as people walk around on eggshells cracked from the volume of the commander-in-chief ’ s explosions .
Now , that the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office has taken us this far down , we have to wonder whether he slipped through the Sixth Circle , which is basically being a nonbeliever .
Given that Trump called his favorite chapter in the Bible “ Corinthians Two ” instead of “ Second Corinthians ” bets are he is not a strong Christian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump land with the Seventh Circle , Violence .
He likes the idea of siccing the dogs on peaceful protesters and having his military fire flash-bang grenades and toxic tear gas at them .
According to writer Dorothy L. Sayers , Hell , notes on Canto XVIII : The Ninth Circle is Treachery and where the big evil guy lives in a block of ice .
Twitter world went crazy after the cruelty of this conspiracy theory lover let part of his plan to win the election .
this November .

Take the elevator way down to the Eighth Circle of hell. Look over the balcony railing into the dark depths to find where the politicians live, otherwise known as Fraud. That is where this president has been fooling around. However, Dante’s fraud was far more complex and terrifying than plain old every-day fraud.

Schiff took on Trump and said “Americans will not ‘Grow Numb’ as thousands more of our fellow citizens die:”
‘132,000 Americans are dead from COVID-19. Americans will not “grow numb” as thousands more of our fellow citizens die. No other country has failed so horrendously to fight the pandemic. No other president would tell us to get used to it. America can do better. Much better.’
Schiff continued calling out the White House:
‘White House officials also hope Americans will grow numb to the escalating death toll and learn to accept tens of thousands of new cases a day, according to three people familiar with the White House’s thinking.’
People actually believe Trump’s conspiracy theories and wild assertions. The president has found a home in a community of nonthinkers. One of the best examples of a Trumper’s way of thinking came from Eric Feigl-Ding who wrote:
‘My god – Florida teen dies after her mother took her to an event to intentionally expose her immunocompromised daughter, who had survived cancer at 2, to the coronavirus. More than 100 mask-free children attended church-sponsored event. She died June 22.’
Interested in the other circles of Dante’s Hell? They go on from the Fourth Circle (Greed) all the way down to the Ninth Circle. Check out the Eight Circle where politicians linger. It has a little more detail.
Apparently, this president has a never-ending black hole for Greed (Circle Four). According to those who escaped from working at the White House can testify that the Fifth Circle of Wrath is well and alive as people walk around on eggshells cracked from the volume of the commander-in-chief’s explosions.
Now, that the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office has taken us this far down, we have to wonder whether he slipped through the Sixth Circle, which is basically being a nonbeliever. Given that Trump called his favorite chapter in the Bible “Corinthians Two” instead of “Second Corinthians” bets are he is not a strong Christian.
Now, we are getting to Trump land with the Seventh Circle, Violence. He likes the idea of siccing the dogs on peaceful protesters and having his military fire flash-bang grenades and toxic tear gas at them.
According to writer Dorothy L. Sayers, Hell, notes on Canto XVIII:
‘In the Eighth Circle, called Malebolge (“Evil ditches”): the upper half of the Hell of the Fraudulent and Malicious. The Eighth Circle is a large funnel of stone shaped like an amphitheatre around which run a series of ten deep, narrow, concentric ditches or trenches called bolge (singular: bolgia). Within these ditches are punished those guilty of Simple Fraud.’
‘From the foot of the Great Cliff to the Well (which forms the neck of the funnel) are large spurs of rock, like umbrella ribs or spokes, which serve as bridges over the ten ditches. Dorothy L. Sayers writes that the Malebolge is, “the image of the City in corruption: the progressive disintegration of every social relationship, personal and public. Sexuality, ecclesiastical and civil office, language, ownership, counsel, authority, psychic influence, and material interdependence – all the media of the community’s interchange are perverted and falsified”.
The Ninth Circle is Treachery and where the big evil guy lives in a block of ice.
Twitter world went crazy after the cruelty of this conspiracy theory lover let part of his plan to win the election. this November. Take a look at how these Americans responded below:

bipartisanreport--2020-07-06--Trump Erupts Into 9-Tweet Late Afternoon Emotional Collapse

President Donald Trump seems endlessly paranoid and has seemingly convinced himself that the world is out to get him and it ’ s his mission to get the truth to the world — or something .
He ’ s deluding himself .
This Monday afternoon , he went on a multi-tweet rant about the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic , which he tried to convince observers isn ’ t as bad as the supposedly untrustworthy “ fake news ” has made it out to be .
The reality is that over 130,000 Americans are dead .
No number of nonsensical self-congratulatory tweets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well done will erase that fact .
One of the topics that the president addressed was the death rate from the Coronavirus in the U.S. specifically .
He addressed the topic in an entirely bad-faith , disingenuous fashion — he even seems to have gotten a basic fact wrong , since he claimed that the U.S. has the lowest death rate in the world , although in reality , countries like Brazil and India seem to have recorded lower death rates , at least among confirmed cases .
He was — by all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to describe the virus by its actual name , Trump tweeted : ‘ BREAKING NEWS : The Mortality Rate for the China Virus in the U.S. is just about the LOWEST IN THE WORLD !
Also , Deaths in the U.S. are way down , a tenfold decrease since the Pandemic height ( and , our Economy is coming back strong ! )
… Why does the Lamestream Fake News Media REFUSE to say that China Virus deaths are down 39 % , and that we now have the lowest Fatality ( Mortality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just can ’ t stand that we are doing so well for our Country !
’ Trump ’ s conspiracy theory that the media is suppressing news that might make him look good is entirely incorrect and ludicrously disconnected from reality .

And while it ’ s true that Coronavirus deaths are down overall — and it ’ s utterly unhinged for the president to suggest that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to suppress this fact — hundreds of Americans are still dying each and every day .
Trump had more conspiracy theories , though .

President Donald Trump seems endlessly paranoid and has seemingly convinced himself that the world is out to get him and it’s his mission to get the truth to the world — or something. He’s deluding himself. This Monday afternoon, he went on a multi-tweet rant about the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, which he tried to convince observers isn’t as bad as the supposedly untrustworthy “fake news” has made it out to be. The reality is that over 130,000 Americans are dead. No number of nonsensical self-congratulatory tweets from the president lauding his supposed job well done will erase that fact.
This is a huge lie. The US's case-fatality rate is in the middle of the pack, not even close to lowest in the world (https://t.co/zBo2qZTr6D). And the US's 132,764 coronavirus deaths more than doubles the second hardest-hit country (Brazil with 65,120). https://t.co/1HA1KpZHsM — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 6, 2020
One of the topics that the president addressed was the death rate from the Coronavirus in the U.S. specifically. He addressed the topic in an entirely bad-faith, disingenuous fashion — he even seems to have gotten a basic fact wrong, since he claimed that the U.S. has the lowest death rate in the world, although in reality, countries like Brazil and India seem to have recorded lower death rates, at least among confirmed cases. He was — by all appearances — brazenly lying.
Petulantly refusing to describe the virus by its actual name, Trump tweeted:
‘BREAKING NEWS: The Mortality Rate for the China Virus in the U.S. is just about the LOWEST IN THE WORLD! Also, Deaths in the U.S. are way down, a tenfold decrease since the Pandemic height (and, our Economy is coming back strong!)… Why does the Lamestream Fake News Media REFUSE to say that China Virus deaths are down 39%, and that we now have the lowest Fatality (Mortality) Rate in the World.

Trump’s conspiracy theory that the media is suppressing news that might make him look good is entirely incorrect and ludicrously disconnected from reality. Actually, news organizations across the board (well, except Fox) have been on the front lines of the Coronavirus crisis for months.

SCHOOLS MUST OPEN IN THE FALL!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 6, 2020
Corrupt Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t want to open schools in the Fall for political reasons, not for health reasons! They think it will help them in November. Wrong, the people get it! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 6, 2020
Check out more from the president below:
…of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine.” @HenryFordNews — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 6, 2020
The Democrats would not have BANNED travel from heavily infected China, especially so early, therefore, far more people would have died. Corrupt Joe Biden now admits this!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 6, 2020

After the Civil Rights upheaval, the cold truth of racism is that prejudice did not go away. A Black Kansas City, Missouri inner-city principal said that it just went underground. Ever since Donald Trump rode down his golden escalator that notion has changed. He insulted immigrants coming from Mexico “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,” according to The Guardian. Trump nearly shouted out who he is.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) Spokesperson Liz Harrington disavowed the idea that “all people are created equal.” She appeared on Fox News to lambast an op-ed written by former Vice President Joe Biden. He said in his NBC opinion piece that “all people are created equal and should be treated equally throughout their lives.”
Harrington had a real problem with that. She went on Fox News to plow into the president’s running mate, according to a Fox News video on YouTube:
‘It’s amazing for Joe Biden to talk about eroding our foundation when his party is taking us sledgehammer to it. They are saying you can’t go to Mt. Rushmore, you can’t celebrate Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.’
Harrington claimed that the idea was an assault on the Declaration of Independence, which said that all “men” are created equal:
‘His party is trying to rewrite history and tear it all down. And it’s very fitting that Joe Biden, in this op-ed, has the audacity to literally rewrite the greatest foundational document in this history of mankind, the Declaration of Independence.’
She continued:
‘His woke staffers changed it to — not ‘all men are created equal’ — all people are created equal. And all people are guaranteed equality throughout life.’
According to Harrington, “That is not a constitutional republic:”
‘That’s the same radical left socialism that has taken over his party. That is really not just eroding our foundation, but rewriting it and out to destroy it.’ https://youtu.be/65qiWCKVivI
The 1962 movie To Kill a Mockingbird starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. Set in 1930, the character tried to convince a jury that a Black man should go free. Today, after we watched George Floyd murdered on camera by a dead-eyed white police officer who stared right at the brave 17-year-old girl taping it. For seven long minutes and 46 seconds, our nation watched in shame over the crime this man perpetrated with no fear of retribution.
Floyd suffered. He could not breathe, he told the officer. Time after time. At last, in desperation, he called for his mama, and nearly all the mamas in this great country of ours heard his call.
So what were these words that so offended the Grand Old Party? Biden wrote about America’s major accomplishments which took the country closer to freedom: when women fought for the right to vote — and won. He pointed to Brown v. Board of Education when Thurgood Marshall entreated the Supreme Court to strike “separate but equal:”
‘Our democracy rose up from the ground when we ended slavery and ratified the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. It rose higher when women fought for suffrage — and won. It was fortified when a lawyer named Thurgood Marshall persuaded the Supreme Court to strike down “separate but equal” and blaze a trail for opportunity in Brown v. Board of Education. And when our nation opened its eyes to the viciousness of Bull Connor and the righteousness of the Freedom Riders — and responded with outrage, and a new Civil Rights Act and a Voting Rights Act — we built it stronger still.’
Biden went on to “The Indian Self-Determination Act, The Americans with Disabilities Act, Marriage Equality, DACA, Black Lives Matter:”
‘Title IX. The Indian Self-Determination Act. The Americans with Disabilities Act. Marriage equality. DACA. Black Lives Matter. Brick by brick — and, all too often, against long odds and violent opposition — the American people have labored to expand the scope, strength and meaning of American democracy. There has always been a push and a pull between our founding ideals and the forces of inequality.’
Yet, it was this last line that got to the Republicans circling the RNC, not all Republicans, just those who hated “All people are created equal:”
‘But Independence Day is a celebration of our persistent march toward greater justice — the natural expansion of our founding notion from “all men are created equal” to “all people are created equal and should be treated equally throughout their lives.”’
In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the character portrayed by Atticus Finch argued in a hot courtroom, the lazy fans stirring reused air before the all-white jury. He said in the YouTube :
‘[T]here is one way in this country in which all men are created equal – there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president.’
When Finch declared. that ‘All men are created equal,” he did not realize the hatred he had unleashed, much like Joe Biden has done with Harrington. The cold truth is racism exists, especially in that grey area where people with the best intentions do not know what they do not know. It takes courage to tell them, and it takes courage to hear.
Atticus Finch represented equality for all men, no matter the color of their skin. With the help of a single character, Harper Lee’s words have worked to change the world, just as Mr. Floyd’s life has done.
Maya Angelou told The Washington Post:
‘I think most people murder other people, are unkind, brutalize, violate other people, allow themselves to be murdered, commit suicide, allow themselves to be violated, sell their full families off for messes of pottage, because they are afraid to die. That somehow these things will give them one more day. So once you get beyond that, your whole life is distilled. Every moment is precious.’

bipartisanreport--2020-07-06--Lindsey Graham Turns On Trump After Racist Bubba Wallace Rant

Two of the country ’ s most famous NASCAR drivers , Dale Earnhardt , Jr. and his late father , Dale Earnhardt , Sr. , have voiced their opposition to the Confederate flag ’ s presence at NASCAR events .
The younger even did so within Trump ’ s first term in office .
However , Trump never lashed out at them on Twitter or said they were ruining the sport for everyone .
That criticism was reserved for NASCAR ’ s only black driver , Bubba Wallace , and was unleashed in a tweet on Monday morning by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controversy began when Wallace was assigned a new slot in the Talladega garage , where a rope that had been tied in the form of a noose was found .
To be clear , Wallace “ was not the one who found the noose in the garage and did not report it.
” After an FBI investigation into the incident , the noose was determined to have been there as a rope pull for the garage door that had been there prior to Wallace ’ s assignment .
The case , at that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Donald Trump .
After his outrageous tweet , Sen. Lindsey Graham ( R-SC ) discussed the criticism on Fox News host Brian Kilmeade ’ s radio show .
Although Graham is usually just another sycophant for the president , he occasionally voices an opposing position .
According to Axios , Graham said : Of course , the incident was also never determined to be a “ hoax , ” as Trump referred to it .
The noose was very real and Wallace ’ s team had good reason to be concerned , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stand with him during the investigation since .
The man who invented birtherism , however , demanded an apology from a black race car driver who was never determined to have lied , been involved in the reporting , or attempting to stir up controversy .
Graham also weighed in on Trump ’ s comments about the banning of the Confederate flag at NASCAR events , disagreeing with Trump ’ s opposition to the policy .
Of course , this is not the first time the flag has been banned and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of what happened to Bubba Wallace , but Trump is blaming him anyway .
Graham said that banning that flag is just good business .
To make sure anyone thought Graham was totally abdicating his position as an enabler of Trump ’ s racist rhetoric , however , he issued a tweet condemning Colin Kaepernick the same morning .

Two of the country’s most famous NASCAR drivers, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and his late father, Dale Earnhardt, Sr., have voiced their opposition to the Confederate flag’s presence at NASCAR events. The younger even did so within Trump’s first term in office. However, Trump never lashed out at them on Twitter or said they were ruining the sport for everyone. That criticism was reserved for NASCAR’s only black driver, Bubba Wallace, and was unleashed in a tweet on Monday morning by the president of the United States.
The controversy began when Wallace was assigned a new slot in the Talladega garage, where a rope that had been tied in the form of a noose was found. To be clear, Wallace “was not the one who found the noose in the garage and did not report it.” After an FBI investigation into the incident, the noose was determined to have been there as a rope pull for the garage door that had been there prior to Wallace’s assignment. The case, at that point, was settled, but not for Donald Trump.
After his outrageous tweet, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) discussed the criticism on Fox News host Brian Kilmeade’s radio show. Although Graham is usually just another sycophant for the president, he occasionally voices an opposing position.
According to Axios, Graham said:
‘You saw the best in NASCAR. When there was a chance that it was a threat against Bubba Wallace, [they] all rallied to Bubba’s side. I would be looking to celebrate that kind of attitude more than being worried about it being a hoax. … I don’t think Bubba Wallace has anything to apologize for.’
"I don't think Bubba Wallace has anything to apologize for," Lindsey Graham says on Fox News radio re: Trump's tweet. "You saw the best in NASCAR. They all rallied to Bubba's side. I would be looking to celebrate that kind of attitude rather than being worried it's a hoax." — Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) July 6, 2020
Of course, the incident was also never determined to be a “hoax,” as Trump referred to it. The noose was very real and Wallace’s team had good reason to be concerned, and his fellow NASCAR drivers were right to stand with him during the investigation since. The man who invented birtherism, however, demanded an apology from a black race car driver who was never determined to have lied, been involved in the reporting, or attempting to stir up controversy.
‘While the FBI determined that the noose had been in place as a garage pull rope in a Talladega garage sine October 2019 and thus was not intended for Wallace, NASCAR’s president confirmed that it “was real” and that it moved quickly to launch an investigation in order to “protect” its driver.’
Lindsey Graham pushes back on Trump’s NASCAR tweet. “They're trying to grow the sport," Graham said, referring to ban of Confederate flags. "And I've lived in South Carolina all my life and if you're in business, the Confederate flag is not a good way to grow your business." — Manu Raju (@mkraju) July 6, 2020
Graham also weighed in on Trump’s comments about the banning of the Confederate flag at NASCAR events, disagreeing with Trump’s opposition to the policy. Of course, this is not the first time the flag has been banned and it hasn’t since been banned because of what happened to Bubba Wallace, but Trump is blaming him anyway.
Graham said that banning that flag is just good business.
‘They’re trying to grow the sport. I’ve lived in South Carolina all my life and, if you’re in business, the Confederate flag is not a good way to grow your business. The idea that Bubba Wallace, who is I think the only African American driver, was upset by somebody finding a noose in the garage made perfect sense to me.’
To make sure anyone thought Graham was totally abdicating his position as an enabler of Trump’s racist rhetoric, however, he issued a tweet condemning Colin Kaepernick the same morning.
Contrary to Mr. Kaepernick's opinion, I believe the world is MUCH better off with America and all the contributions she has made since her founding. https://t.co/tIdOg9EU44 — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 6, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-07-06--Susan Collins Floored By Monday Poll Release Showing Collapse

Maine ’ s Republican Senator Susan Collins may be on her way out of D.C .
Yet another new poll shows her losing to Democratic challenger Sara Gideon , who currently serves as a state legislator and the Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives .
In the new survey , which was released from Public Policy Polling , Gideon had 46 percent of the support compared to just 42 percent for Collins , giving the Democratic contender a four percent lead .
The Democratic lead suggests that Collins is definitely vulnerable heading into November .
The new Public Policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Maine Democrats in other polls .
Although a poll from earlier in July had Collins up by 8 percent against Gideon , a poll from about a month before that had Gideon up by 9 percent against Collins .
Now , of course , there ’ s another set of numbers with Gideon ahead .
Collins is one of the most politically vulnerable incumbent Republican Senators in the country ahead of November .
Other particularly vulnerable Republican Senators are in Colorado , Montana , Arizona , and North Carolina .
The currently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are currently rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report , and in some cases , Democrats hold substantial margins in polling .
In Arizona , for instance , Democratic candidate Mark Kelly — who ’ s a former astronaut and the husband of the state ’ s former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — leads incumbent Republican Martha McSally by an average of 6.7 percent , according to RealClearPolitics .
Kelly has led in all but one of the polls cataloged this year by the website .
As a whole , Democrats need to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ current total to become the chamber ’ s majority party ; if Trump stays in the White House for a second term , the total is four , since vice presidents break Senate ties and Democrats adding three would leave the chamber split 50-50 , leaving the VP to break the ties .
President Donald Trump ’ s own sinking political changes may be helping drag down those of Senate Republicans .
In polling , presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is currently ahead by an average of 3 percent in North Carolina @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both states , Republican Senators are struggling to hang onto their seats .

Collins is one of the most politically vulnerable incumbent Republican Senators in the country ahead of November. Other particularly vulnerable Republican Senators are in Colorado, Montana, Arizona, and North Carolina. The currently Republican-held seats in all of these states are currently rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report, and in some cases, Democrats hold substantial margins in polling. In Arizona, for instance, Democratic candidate Mark Kelly — who’s a former astronaut and the husband of the state’s former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — leads incumbent Republican Martha McSally by an average of 6.7 percent, according to RealClearPolitics. Kelly has led in all but one of the polls cataloged this year by the website. As a whole, Democrats need to add at least three seats to their current total to become the chamber’s majority party; if Trump stays in the White House for a second term, the total is four, since vice presidents break Senate ties and Democrats adding three would leave the chamber split 50-50, leaving the VP to break the ties.
President Donald Trump’s own sinking political changes may be helping drag down those of Senate Republicans. In polling, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is currently ahead by an average of 3 percent in North Carolina and 3.5 percent in Arizona. In both states, Republican Senators are struggling to hang onto their seats.
