Donald Trump must have awakened the day after he was found “not guilty” of the impeachment trial claims and smelled the fresh scent of revenge. Certainly, vindictiveness has been the bitter mother’s milk he has been drinking lonely night after night for three years. The Dems embarrassed him, and now they must pay.
The president tweeted a thank you to The New York Post columnist Miranda Devine for her latest column. Of course, he was really patting himself on the back:
‘Thank you to @mirandadevine of the New York Post for your interesting (and correct) column today. “Trump has gained 20 points since Impeachment began in October. He gets 67% on economy. Nonwhite approval of Trump is also at a high: 28%, up 10 points in a year. Nice one, Nancy.”’
Then, Trump told all of the governors who met with him that they should say “Thank you, Mr. President.” Weird:
‘Meeting with U.S. Governors in a short while. All States are doing well. “Thank you Mr. President.”’
After that, he retweeted the sex counselor Dawn Michael, Ph.D.’s tweet. She said the Dems were being mean to The Donald:
‘Replying to @realDonaldTrump and @mirandadevine The people are happy with President Trump and they see how poorly he is being treated.’
POTUS continued with a tweet using the word “exponential.” Does Trump understand that word? Probably not:
‘KEEP AMERICA GREAT In just 3 years President @realDonaldTrump has accomplished Great Things for America! Thanks @IvankaTrump for summarizing the exponential achievements of this @GOP Administration! — ☀Brandon Beckham’

After that, the president complimented a heckler while House Judicial Committee Chair Jerrold (Jerry) Nadler was speaking. Trump called him the “MVP (most valued player) heckler:”
‘It’s all turning, and fast! MVP Heckler. https://t.co/PiA0ANmjYP — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)’
It’s all turning, and fast! MVP Heckler. https://t.co/PiA0ANmjYP — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2020
ABC Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl got a retweet, too. He noted theree was “cold rain, snow and lots of Trump supporters” in New Hampshire. They were awaiting the president’s rally. It was set to jar Democrats in the New Hampshire primary:
‘Cold rain, snow and lots of Trump supporters. Despite the miserable weather, there are already more people lining up outside the venue of @realDonaldTrump‘s rally tonight than you see at most of the events for the Democratic candidates. Some have been out here all night’

‘95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party, a Record! 53% overall (plus add 9 points?). Corrupt Democrat politicians have brought me to highest polling numbers ever with the Impeachment Hoax. Thank you Nancy!’

bipartisanreport--2020-02-11--Trump’s Justice Department Accused Of Misusing Funds

On Monday , in an exclusive report by Reuters , it seems that a Justice Department fund for providing grants to anti-human trafficking is now the subject of a whistleblower complaint .
According to the report : ‘ The awarding of more than $ 1 million total to the two groups , Hookers for Jesus in Nevada and the Lincoln Tubman Foundation in South Carolina , has triggered a whistleblower complaint filed by the Justice Department ’ s employee union to the department ’ s Inspector General .
‘ An internal department memo seen by Reuters shows that as of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach and Chicanos Por La Causa of Phoenix – were originally on the list of recommended grant winners after receiving high marks from outside contractors hired to review applications .
The annual grants help nonprofits and local governments aid human trafficking victims .
‘ Later that month , those two organizations were replaced as recommended recipients by Hookers for Jesus and the Lincoln Tubman Foundation , which both received lower rankings from the outside reviewers .
The reason , a September 23 memo says , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across as many states as possible.
” ’ ‘ The change was ultimately approved by Katharine Sullivan , head of the Office of Justice Programs , OJP , which awards the grants .
Sullivan defended the process as proper .
“ Our funding decisions are based on a merit-based review system , ” she said.
’ This past December , the American Federation of State , County and Municipal Employees local 2830 filed a complaint calling on investigators to determine if politics may have played a part in the two grant awards .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s office refused to comment , but in a statement , union president Marilyn Moses said “ the grants call into question the department ’ s mission to serve the public.
” Another report pointed out that “ both groups ” that were turned down “ have ties to political causes seen as opposed to the Trump administration : Chicanos Por La Causa has vocally opposed the administration ’ s immigration policies , and an official with Catholic Charities has previously stood as a Democratic convention delegate , per the news service.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a merit-based review system , ” Sullivan said , adding that the allegations against Hookers for Jesus were described as “ inappropriate.

This past December, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees local 2830 filed a complaint calling on investigators to determine if politics may have played a part in the two grant awards.
A spokesperson for the inspector general’s office refused to comment, but in a statement, union president Marilyn Moses said “the grants call into question the department’s mission to serve the public.”
‘Our employees take their … responsibility to the taxpayer very seriously.’
Another report pointed out that “both groups” that were turned down “have ties to political causes seen as opposed to the Trump administration: Chicanos Por La Causa has vocally opposed the administration’s immigration policies, and an official with Catholic Charities has previously stood as a Democratic convention delegate, per the news service.”
Funny how that works!

We will not allow the president of the United States to single out New Yorkers, to discriminate against New Yorkers, to target New Yorkers and to coerce us.’
Trump’s immigration law violates the intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. This legislation required the registered traveler program.
The lawsuit read:
‘Singling out one state for coercion and retribution as a means to compel conformity with preferred federal policies is unconstitutional. Defendants’ ban on New Yorkers’ participation in the Trusted Traveler programs not only violates the law, but also injures New York by undermining public safety and causing extensive economic harm.’
New York and 13 other states plus Washington, D.C. will give drivers licenses no matter what the individual’s immigration status. That provided proof positive that New York had been singled out for political retribution.
Homeland Security claimed that the reason was that not sharing the information required for the DMV prevents them from “verifying travelers’ eligibility.” The traveler program required people to hold a valid passport. New York officials state that driving documents did not have much to do with passing travelers.
James said:
‘It has nothing to do with safety. It’s nothing more than political retribution.’
The new ban will affect about 50,000 New Yorkers conditionally approved for Global Entry. They only need an interview and to tie up loose ends. An additional 30,000 already applied but were in the vetting process.
Then, there was an additional 175,000 people whose Global Entry memberships are set to expire in 2020. The new law would not let them renew.
There are 30,000 drivers in the FAST program, an automated system that makes it easier and faster to cross the border between New York and Canada. Then, there were those in the NEXUS program.

President Donald Trump’s incessant belligerence has sparked yet another round of legal mayhem for his administration. As part of a lawsuit that Amazon brought alleging that they’d been improperly denied a contract to develop cloud computing for the Department of Defense, the Jeff Bezos-led company has demanded a deposition from Trump himself, who they allege improperly interfered in the process to exclude them from the contract. Trump has developed a long public feud with Amazon concurrent to Bezos’s ownership of The Washington Post, whose coverage of his administration he has consistently flipped out over.
In this case, the $10 billion cloud computing contract went to Microsoft, despite apparent wide industry expectations that Amazon would get the grant thanks to their apparent leadership in the field. Amazon is now definitively insisting that Trump’s inappropriate political intervention kept them from the job and suing for restitution.
Asking the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for permission to depose not just Trump but current Defense Secretary Mark Esper and his predecessor James Mattis as well, Amazon shared in a newly public court filing:
‘President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to use his position as President and Commander in Chief to disrupt the orderly administration of government functions, including federal procurements, to advance personal motives.’
Amazon said that they would work to “develop appropriate protocols and safeguards” for the deposition of Trump, if they get a greenlight to proceed. On Monday, an Amazon Web Services spokesperson added:
‘The preservation of public confidence in the nation’s procurement process requires discovery and supplementation of the administrative record, particularly in light of President Trump’s order to ‘screw Amazon.’.. The question is whether the President of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of the DoD to pursue his own personal and political ends.’
A former speechwriter for Mattis revealed that apparent behind-the-scenes order to “screw” Amazon from the president.
It’s unclear whether a president has ever before been deposed as part of any kind of similar challenge to a government contract by a spurned company, but this situation is not the first in which Trump’s political inclinations have been alleged to weigh on similar government actions covering big business. Trump maintained a long streak of public animosity towards a plan for AT&T to purchase Time Warner, which owned CNN — another frequent presidential target. The Justice Department eventually sued in an attempt to block the merger (which eventually went through), and reports even swirled at one point that the administration would get out of the way specifically if CNN was sold off separately. Trump wanted to use the power of the presidency to keep basic business resources away from the network.
The power grab mirrors what drove his impeachment, which included a charge of abuse of power. Trump has consistently worked to use the powers of the presidency for personal ends.
Voters will get a chance to vote that abuse of power out of office this November. The next votes in the Democratic presidential primary will be cast on Tuesday in New Hampshire.


bipartisanreport--2020-02-11--Trump Launches Crazed New Conspiracy Attack On Romney

President Donald Trump is not taking one Republican Senator ’ s recent vote well — at all .
Utah ’ s Mitt Romney was the only Republican to cross party lines and vote to convict the president on a charge of abuse of power at the recent conclusion of his Senate impeachment trial , and now , Trump and his allies have begun a de facto campaign to tie Romney himself to supposed corruption in Ukraine .
Rather than admit even the slightest legitimacy to opposition to the president ’ s behavior , he and his allies have launched into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be trying to cover for his own outlandishly supposed global web of corruption .
The idea is that Joseph Cofer Black , who served as both a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and a national security adviser for Romney ’ s 2012 presidential campaign , represents some kind of secret corruption that Romney wants to hide .
Burisma is the same company whose board Hunter Biden served on , which has driven the conspiracy theories about the Bidens that Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate in the bribery scheme that got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Laura Ingraham have touted the Romney conspiracy theory , and Trump himself retweeted a message from a seemingly completely random Twitter user that read : Of course , the problem is that there ’ s no evidence that there ’ s actually any truth to come out in the first place .
Romney has no documented personal connection to Black , and Black , in turn , has no apparent connection to any corruption that went on at Burisma .
The president and his allies are resorting to nothing other than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make their case that actually , they ’ re completely in the right .
Matt Wolking , the Trump campaign ’ s deputy communications director , “ did not respond when asked whether this fact provided adequate context for Romney ’ s vote , ” POLITICO explains , in reference to Black ’ s service on the Utah Senator ’ s presidential campaign .
Black did not respond either , although a Romney spokesperson has chimed in by noting : Ironically , Trump himself has been surrounded by plenty of advisers with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corruption .
His former campaign manager , Paul Manafort , is currently serving a long prison sentence in part for money laundering conducted in conjunction with his work for pro-Putin factions in Ukraine .
Just this week , for a turn towards more domestic corruption , Trump ’ s longtime ally Roger Stone got a recommendation from prosecutors for a full seven to nine years in prison for a wide-reaching obstruction of justice scheme .

The president and his allies are apparently hoping that observers simply forget all of that heading into the presidential election season this year .

President Donald Trump is not taking one Republican Senator’s recent vote well — at all. Utah’s Mitt Romney was the only Republican to cross party lines and vote to convict the president on a charge of abuse of power at the recent conclusion of his Senate impeachment trial, and now, Trump and his allies have begun a de facto campaign to tie Romney himself to supposed corruption in Ukraine. Rather than admit even the slightest legitimacy to opposition to the president’s behavior, he and his allies have launched into the conspiracy theory that Romney must just be trying to cover for his own outlandishly supposed global web of corruption.
The idea is that Joseph Cofer Black, who served as both a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and a national security adviser for Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, represents some kind of secret corruption that Romney wants to hide. Burisma is the same company whose board Hunter Biden served on, which has driven the conspiracy theories about the Bidens that Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate in the bribery scheme that got him impeached.
Figures like Fox News’s Laura Ingraham have touted the Romney conspiracy theory, and Trump himself retweeted a message from a seemingly completely random Twitter user that read:
‘Romney is covering up his part in corruption in Ukraine. This has nothing to do with truth or God. He is a desperate man. The truth will come out.’
Of course, the problem is that there’s no evidence that there’s actually any truth to come out in the first place. Romney has no documented personal connection to Black, and Black, in turn, has no apparent connection to any corruption that went on at Burisma. The president and his allies are resorting to nothing other than the power of suggestion in an attempt to make their case that actually, they’re completely in the right.

Black did not respond either, although a Romney spokesperson has chimed in by noting:
‘There were hundreds of informal policy advisers to the Romney campaign. If you were a Republican policy expert at that time, chances are you were part of that group.’
Ironically, Trump himself has been surrounded by plenty of advisers with long-running connections to actual, documented overseas corruption. His former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, is currently serving a long prison sentence in part for money laundering conducted in conjunction with his work for pro-Putin factions in Ukraine. Just this week, for a turn towards more domestic corruption, Trump’s longtime ally Roger Stone got a recommendation from prosecutors for a full seven to nine years in prison for a wide-reaching obstruction of justice scheme.
Wildly enough, even the president’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow and his current national security adviser Robert O’Brien worked for Romney too. The president and his allies are apparently hoping that observers simply forget all of that heading into the presidential election season this year.


bipartisanreport--2020-02-11--U.S. General Delivers Emotional Vindman Defense Live On CNN

Last week , as a convenient complete rebuttal of claims from certain Republican Senators that President Donald Trump had “ learned his lesson ” from the impeachment proceedings , Trump abruptly fired two administration officials who ’ d testified against him , including National Security Council official Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman .
This week , during an appearance on CNN , Retired Brig .
Gen. Peter Zwack delivered an emotional defense of Vindman grown from his work alongside the now reassigned figure in Moscow .
Zwack insisted that Vindman is honest and straightforward and fiercely confronted those , like Sen. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve gone from supporters of figures like Vindman to deep state conspiracy theorists when it politically suits them .
During an appearance over the weekend on Face The Nation , when confronted with Vindman ’ s firing as an apparent act of witness retaliation , Graham had resorted to spouting off about the supposed personal political agenda of figures in positions like Vindman ’ s .
That follows long public diatribes against him from the president and other Trump allies .
‘ I know Alex ; I ’ ve known him for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vindman right now — he ’ s hurt , he ’ s insulted , he ’ s uncertain about his future , and he wears , not wore , the uniform proudly , and I think that seniors at a very high level should not dump that way publicly by statement or the godgun of a tweet in demeaning his personality .
Something that offends me greatly is that so many other people have piled in who don ’ t even know him.
’ No matter these elements , the president and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kick Vindman to the curb .
Vindman ’ s attorney David Pressman insisted that Trump ’ s claims about Vindman are “ obviously false ” and “ conflict with the clear personnel record and the entirety of the impeachment record of which the president is well aware ” — but that hasn ’ t stopped him and his allies from lashing out anyway .
Zwack indicated that yes , he takes Vindman ’ s reassignment out of the White House as “ punitive.
” He explained : ‘ I think this was punitive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be .
He could have been allowed to say at least goodbye to his peers… It was just insulting , it was offending , it was wrong.

He added:
‘He’s always been direct, he’s candid, and people need to understand that about him. He will tell you out of the courage of his own convictions… he’s reliable, and I trust him explicitly.’
Watch:
No matter these elements, the president and his supporters have not hesitated to essentially completely kick Vindman to the curb.

More directly addressing Graham’s rant about supposed ulterior motives in the intel community, Zwack mockingly continued:
‘I’m a proud retired member of the intelligence community, and I guess that makes me a card-carrying member of the deep state. This is ridiculous… These people are great Americans that are often put in a difficult situation.’
He then turned to address the Senator directly, adding:
‘Senator Graham, I’ve always had a lot of respect for you. I met you when I was in Afghanistan in 2008… We thought you guys were rockstars. Where are you now, sir?’
Now, Graham likes playing golf with Trump more than sticking up for figures who’ve actually accomplished work like Vindman.

The president’s recent impeachment case highlighted his abuse of power in the realm of foreign policy, but there’s more. Now, The Intercept has revealed how Donald Trump’s border wall construction team is actually using dynamite on a mountain which “holds profound spiritual significance to multiple Native American groups” and is situated in Arizona’s Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, the publication notes. That spiritual significance stems in part from the burial grounds at the site, where human remains have already been discovered and another site sits right in the line of prospective westward expansion for the wall — but none of these developments have apparent stopped the Trump administration’s politically expedient rush to construct more wall.
Besides the significance for local Native American communities, the protected area, which includes desert and other features, is also “a pristine example of an intact Sonoran Desert ecosystem,” and, as such, is an officially designated UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve.
Local Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva commented:
‘It’s been really frustrating. You would think that in a situation like this, that involves human remains, burial sites, bone fragments that are traced and dated a thousand years or more back, that there would be some sensitivity, for lack of a better word, on the part of DHS and the administration.

The entire gross display is directly tied to Trump’s attempts to secure a win for the 2020 election.
As Grijalva noted:
‘What’s particularly frightening right now is that Trump has weaponized DHS, politically weaponized them. And so right now, it’s about satisfying that political agenda.’
The president has set a goal of constructing 450 miles of wall before the end of 2020, although much of that has proven to be replacements for older fencing — and some of the construction hasn’t exactly gone so well, considering the recent incident where a large portion of the barrier fell over into Mexico during a period of high winds. There have also been reported incidents of border crossers already sawing right through some of the new construction, which rather than a “wall” in the most traditional sense, features steel beams filled with a concrete-like mixture suspended between a top and a bottom panel.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, for their part, say that the blasting at Monument Hill — which is the name of the particular targeted Arizona mountain — “is targeted and will continue intermittently for the rest of the month.” They added that they’ll continue relying on the services of an environmental impact monitor, but Grijalva was among those with serious doubts about the actual relevance and assistance of that figure.

bipartisanreport--2020-02-11--Justice Dept. Softens Roger Stone Sentencing Per Trump

While the president remains embroiled in the scandal surrounding his attempt to bribe Ukraine into investigating his domestic political opponents , a loose end from the investigation into Russia ’ s election interference continues to unfold .
Now , the Justice Department has actually announced plans to essentially cave to pressure from the president in dealing with that loose end , which is the case of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone .
Although they claim that the decision came before Trump publicly complained about prosecutors ’ initial sentencing recommendation , the department is gearing up to decrease their recommendation for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the ongoing federal criminal case over his obstruction of justice .
Originally , the U.S. Attorney ’ s office in D.C. had requested seven to nine years .
Trump complained about the recommendation in an early Tuesday tweet , the day after prosecutors initially filed it .
He commented : Some speculated that the tweet indicated Trump might pardon Stone , although he actually has not really used that power in relation to the Russia investigation , which has ensnared half a dozen of his current and former associates with a smorgasbord @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others whose criminal cases definitively disprove Trump ’ s allegation that the whole probe is a sham include his former campaign manager Paul Manafort , his former fixer Michael Cohen , his former national security adviser Michael Flynn , and more .
In this case , the Justice Department claims that “ prosecutors had not spoken to the White House about ” the decision to lower their sentencing recommendation for Stone .
The Associated Press adds as an explanation that an unnamed Justice Department official claims that “ authorities decided to step in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been taken by surprise by the initial recommendation ” because supposedly , “ prosecutors had told the department to expect a shorter recommendation.
” It ’ s up to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson , who ’ s handling the case , whether to even consider any of these developments when delivering her sentence for Stone .
In the original sentencing recommendation filing , prosecutors had insisted : Besides that case , Flynn is actually also still awaiting a sentencing after his plea agreement with the government fell apart under accusations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being forthcoming with them .
Recently , authorities said that they “ would not oppose a probation of punishment after initially saying that he deserved up to six months in prison for lying to the FBI , ” as the Associated Press explains it .
So far , the only criminal charges related to the Ukraine scandal are for two individuals , Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman , who helped Giuliani try and pressure Ukraine into investigating the Bidens and others .
Besides that , they also carried out a federal campaign finance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large amounts of foreign cash into the U.S .

While the president remains embroiled in the scandal surrounding his attempt to bribe Ukraine into investigating his domestic political opponents, a loose end from the investigation into Russia’s election interference continues to unfold. Now, the Justice Department has actually announced plans to essentially cave to pressure from the president in dealing with that loose end, which is the case of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone. Although they claim that the decision came before Trump publicly complained about prosecutors’ initial sentencing recommendation, the department is gearing up to decrease their recommendation for the length of a sentence for Stone in the ongoing federal criminal case over his obstruction of justice. Originally, the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C. had requested seven to nine years.
Trump complained about the recommendation in an early Tuesday tweet, the day after prosecutors initially filed it. He commented:
‘This is a horrible and very unfair situation. The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!’

Some speculated that the tweet indicated Trump might pardon Stone, although he actually has not really used that power in relation to the Russia investigation, which has ensnared half a dozen of his current and former associates with a smorgasbord of criminal charges. Besides Stone, others whose criminal cases definitively disprove Trump’s allegation that the whole probe is a sham include his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, his former fixer Michael Cohen, his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and more.
In this case, the Justice Department claims that “prosecutors had not spoken to the White House about” the decision to lower their sentencing recommendation for Stone. The Associated Press adds as an explanation that an unnamed Justice Department official claims that “authorities decided to step in and seek a shorter sentence because they had been taken by surprise by the initial recommendation” because supposedly, “prosecutors had told the department to expect a shorter recommendation.” It’s up to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who’s handling the case, whether to even consider any of these developments when delivering her sentence for Stone.
In the original sentencing recommendation filing, prosecutors had insisted:
‘Stone’s actions were not a one-off mistake in judgement… [He] decided to double – and triple – down on his criminal conduct by tampering with a witness for months in order to make sure his obstruction would be successful.’
Besides that case, Flynn is actually also still awaiting a sentencing after his plea agreement with the government fell apart under accusations from authorities that he was still not being forthcoming with them. Recently, authorities said that they “would not oppose a probation of punishment after initially saying that he deserved up to six months in prison for lying to the FBI,” as the Associated Press explains it.
So far, the only criminal charges related to the Ukraine scandal are for two individuals, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who helped Giuliani try and pressure Ukraine into investigating the Bidens and others. Besides that, they also carried out a federal campaign finance law violation scheme including the transfer of large amounts of foreign cash into the U.S.

bipartisanreport--2020-02-11--Pelosi & Schumer Hold Tuesday Press Conference (VIDEO)

This week , President Donald Trump ’ s administration unveiled his latest budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year , which includes elements like massive cuts to Medicaid totaling almost $ 1 trillion .
That proposal serves as the latest insult to those across the U.S. who might be banking on the president ’ s ultimately completely false promises to protect health coverage for groups like people with pre-existing conditions .
At a press conference this Tuesday , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) hammered the president over the proposal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feat of hypocrisy that shows his true values lie far away from the American people .
They also insisted that they ’ d fight the budget plan , which the current Democratic majority in the House gives them great grounds to do .
Pelosi directly rebuffed the idea that the money taken away from Medicaid in the president ’ s budget proposal will just get reshuffled somewhere else substantively helpful for working Americans .
She insisted : ‘ This is very important that we have clarity on this subject , because we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ families .
We ’ re talking about Medicare , which is essential to not only the health but the financial security… To put this in a perspective about what that means to America ’ s working families — why are they doing this ?
They ’ re doing this so that they can give advantages to the high end .
We want to see balance in all this… but don ’ t get in front of an audience and say “ I ’ m here to protect Medicare and Social Security ” … @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward.
’ That is exactly the kind of thing that the president has done .
He has claimed that he will somehow , somewhere protect people with pre-existing conditions literally while his administration was in court arguing to completely repeal Obamacare , including pre-existing condition protection .
‘ You want to know the values of this president in particular ?
Don ’ t listen to the State of the Union address — look at his budget , and it shows his values are so off base .
Left to his own devices , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop him , we fight him .
But make no mistake about it , this is just what he wants to do , and the American people should know about it loud and clear.
’ ‘ This is really a statement that ’ s so undermining the values of what America is as a community .
What we are about respecting the what the needs are of America ’ s working families .
This is really important , because it ’ s also about the anti-governance attitude of Republicans… When they say they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they ’ re… undermining the aspirations of the American people and the competitiveness of our country.
’ Health coverage is far from the only grounds on which Republicans have staked their fierce partisanship .
Led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) , they ’ ve also refused to take bills seriously that are meant to help protect the U.S. elections system .
McConnell refuses to bring them to the floor .
Well , there ’ s a fitting reason — they ’ re the ones benefiting .

Watch below:
Health coverage is far from the only grounds on which Republicans have staked their fierce partisanship. Led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), they’ve also refused to take bills seriously that are meant to help protect the U.S. elections system. McConnell refuses to bring them to the floor.
Pelosi asked:
‘Why are Republicans so afraid of stopping foreign interference in our elections? Why are Republicans so afraid of protecting the integrity of our elections?’
Well, there’s a fitting reason — they’re the ones benefiting.

Donald Trump’s tweets skitter from one subject to another providing a map to the inner workings of his mind. He started out the morning defending his crooked friend, aka the Dirty Trickster, Roger Stone. Yet, a few hours later he starting puddle-jumping from one puddle of interest to another — like a puddle-jumping beta fish.
Obviously, the president saw nothing wrong with working with Russia to get elected. He said so several times on air. Yet, seeing him write it out again was jarring:
‘A *9 year* prison recommendation for non-violent crimes committed by a 67-year-old man.’
The Daily News reporter Chuck Ross tweeted about government witness Randy Credico’s plea on Stone’s behalf for no jail time:
‘Prosecutors disregard gov’t witness Randy Credico’s plea for no jail time for Stone on the grounds that he didn’t take Stone’s threats seriously. “It is the threat itself, not the likelihood of carrying out the threat, that triggers the enhancement.”‘
Trump gave himself a giant pat on the back for “best USA economy.” What he failed to recognize was that President Barack Obama saved the country from a second Great Depression. POTUS jumped onto the economy and has been riding it for three years:
‘BEST USA ECONOMY IN HISTORY!’
Then, he moved to his rally in New Hampshire Monday night. He called it the biggest in “New Hampshire history:”
‘Great being in New Hampshire last night. I would say that was the biggest political Rally in New Hampshire history. Incredible evening!’
