bipartisanreport--2020-10-26--Top W.H. Appointee Resigns in Protest Of Trump’s Brazen Corruption

A top Trump appointee has resigned in protest of a recent executive order from President Trump that places thousands of civil service positions under the same regulations as those covering political appointees in the federal government .
Ronald Sanders issued his letter of resignation revealing his decision to step away from the chairmanship of the Federal Salary Council on Sunday , and he directly tied his decision to the president ’ s controversial recent order .
The order ’ s removal of protections for large swathes of the federal civil service means that Trump — or one of his similarly-minded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more of the federal government to their liking , including many career public service roles whose jobs are supposed to be non-partisan .
The Federal Salary Council “ oversees an annual comparison of federal vs. private-sector salaries and the locality-based pay system for a large majority of the 2.1 million executive branch employees , ” The Washington Post explains .
Sanders — who says he is a longtime Republican but “ can not in good conscience continue ” to work for the Trump administration — wrote , in part : As The Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controversial executive order means that tens of thousands of critical roles in the federal civil service now “ do not require competition in hiring , or even public notice that a position is available , do not allow for union representation and do not allow for appeals of disciplinary actions , including firing.
” Trump ’ s removal of the requirement for a competitive hiring process and his ban on appeals of firings for large numbers of jobs means that the president could more easily hire his lackeys and more easily fire those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In his resignation letter , Sanders called Trump ’ s executive order “ nothing more than a smoke screen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the President , or failing that , to enable their removal with little if any due process.

A top Trump appointee has resigned in protest of a recent executive order from President Trump that places thousands of civil service positions under the same regulations as those covering political appointees in the federal government. Ronald Sanders issued his letter of resignation revealing his decision to step away from the chairmanship of the Federal Salary Council on Sunday, and he directly tied his decision to the president’s controversial recent order. The order’s removal of protections for large swathes of the federal civil service means that Trump — or one of his similarly-minded successors — could be free to shape more of the federal government to their liking, including many career public service roles whose jobs are supposed to be non-partisan.

The Federal Salary Council “oversees an annual comparison of federal vs. private-sector salaries and the locality-based pay system for a large majority of the 2.1 million executive branch employees,” The Washington Post explains. Sanders — who says he is a longtime Republican but “cannot in good conscience continue” to work for the Trump administration — wrote, in part:
‘I simply cannot be part of an Administration that seeks… to replace apolitical expertise with political obeisance. Career Federal employees are legally and duty-bound to be nonpartisan; they take an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution and the rule of law… not to be loyal to a particular President or Administration.’
As The Washington Post explains, the president’s controversial executive order means that tens of thousands of critical roles in the federal civil service now “do not require competition in hiring, or even public notice that a position is available, do not allow for union representation and do not allow for appeals of disciplinary actions, including firing.” Trump’s removal of the requirement for a competitive hiring process and his ban on appeals of firings for large numbers of jobs means that the president could more easily hire his lackeys and more easily fire those who do not fall in line. In his resignation letter, Sanders called Trump’s executive order “nothing more than a smoke screen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the President, or failing that, to enable their removal with little if any due process.”

In the video, Trump is summoned fro ivory tower to go and rule as the most powerful figure in the world. Trump bestows money on the rich, leaving the poor and middle-class behind, begs dictators for friendship and attention, and lied repeatedly about deadly virus. It’s a fairy tale story and reads that way, but it’s a story that would chill anyone who read a book with this story in it.
Unfortunately, we don’t live inside a book story. The evil king in our story is real, has harmed the middle and lower economic classes by giving tax breaks to the rich and exploding the national debt, offered Americans a magic potion known as Hydroxychloroquine that didn’t work but the widespread use of it would make billionaires in the Big Pharma industry more billions, and truly has convinced his supporters that the coronavirus is not risky for them and that death counts are inflated to impede his holding onto power.

Trump is bored with the coronavirus pandemic. He tells his rally goers “all they want to talk about is…COVID COVID COVID:”

‘One thing we’ve seen in a lot of the Black community, which is mostly Democrat, is that President Trump’s policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they’re complaining about. But he can’t want them to be successful more than they want to be successful.’

bipartisanreport--2020-10-26--Mike Pompeo Put Under Immediate Federal Investigation Over Corruption

The chairpersons of the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and Appropriations have confirmed that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is under federal investigation by the Office of Special Counsel ( OSC ) for potentially violating the Hatch Act .
The Hatch Act prohibits government officials from participating in broad swathes of political campaigning while on the job , but Pompeo recorded a speech for the recent Republican National Convention while on an official diplomatic visit to Israel .
The Office of Special Counsel , which is looking into the matter , is an independent investigative agency in the federal government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Nita Lowey ( D-N.Y. ) — who chair the Foreign Affairs and Appropriations committees , respectively — cited other examples of Pompeo ’ s usage of government resources for political purposes in their revelation of the Office of Special Counsel ’ s investigation .

” ‘ As we get closer to both this year ’ s election and his own inevitable return to electoral politics , Mike Pompeo has grown even more brazen in misusing the State Department and the taxpayer dollars that fund it as vehicles for the Administration ’ s , and his own , political ambitions .
The Department has repeatedly missed Congressional overseers ’ deadlines for producing documents on his recent domestic speeches that will help us understand whether they were improper political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to OSC—whom Mr. Pompeo can ’ t fire as he did the Inspector General—for looking into this matter.

Other current and former officials , like ex-Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway , have also at times flouted the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican National Convention itself , the GOP held an entire campaign event on the White House grounds , where Trump delivered his speech formally accepting the party ’ s re-nomination for the presidency .

They noted that the confirmation of the OSC’s investigation of Pompeo’s convention speech “comes on the heels of reporting that OSC is also looking into Secretary Pompeo’s stated commitment to rush out more of Hillary Clinton’s emails by Election Day and as the Secretary has misused State Department resources on his speech tour of swing states.”
Engel and Lowey added:
‘As we get closer to both this year’s election and his own inevitable return to electoral politics, Mike Pompeo has grown even more brazen in misusing the State Department and the taxpayer dollars that fund it as vehicles for the Administration’s, and his own, political ambitions. The Department has repeatedly missed Congressional overseers’ deadlines for producing documents on his recent domestic speeches that will help us understand whether they were improper political activities. So we’re grateful to OSC—whom Mr. Pompeo can’t fire as he did the Inspector General—for looking into this matter.’
Check out their statement below:

The two memorably added that whether “before Secretary Pompeo’s departure or afterwards, the truth about this administration’s corruption will come out.” Pompeo is, for starters, hardly the only official who has come under investigative scrutiny for apparent Hatch Act violations. Other current and former officials, like ex-Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, have also at times flouted the law. During this year’s Republican National Convention itself, the GOP held an entire campaign event on the White House grounds, where Trump delivered his speech formally accepting the party’s re-nomination for the presidency.


bipartisanreport--2020-10-26--Fact Check Of Full ’60 Minutes’ Interview Humiliates Trump, GOP, & America

President Donald Trump repeatedly lied during his much-discussed interview with journalist Lesley Stahl for 60 Minutes , which he abruptly walked out of before its scheduled end after petulantly complaining about Stahl ’ s questioning .
A CNN fact-check of the interview that was written up by the network ’ s fact-checker Daniel Dale includes a full 16 outright false or otherwise misleading claims that Trump made during the talk with Stahl .
The topics of Trump ’ s deception ranged from the Coronavirus pandemic to the health care policy proposals of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
For example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump claimed that a Biden election would mean that “ 180 million people will lose their health care ” that they currently have from private insurance companies , but this claim is unequivocally false .
Biden loudly rejects the idea of doing away with private health insurance systems and replacing them with Medicare-for-all .
Instead , Biden has explained that he wants to impose a so-called public option in order to make government-backed health care easier to access for people who wish to join the program and could benefit from it .
Similarly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have raised the claim in his 60 Minutes interview , the president ’ s past insistence that a Biden administration would seize firearms or attack the Second Amendment is false .
Biden does not support the government seizure of assault weapons that people currently legally own , even if he ’ s able to pass a ban on new assault weapons sales in the future .
Meanwhile , while on 60 Minutes , Trump claimed that Coronavirus cases are only rising in the U.S. “ because we ’ re doing so much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grossly misleading .
Hospitalization rates and Coronavirus deaths have also been rising across the country .
The virus is clearly spreading among the community at a sharp rate that is not merely accounted for by an increase in testing rates .
Similarly , Trump ’ s claim that the U.S. has “ turned the corner ” in fighting the Coronavirus is baseless , CNN notes .
It ’ s empty rhetoric that simply does not reflect actual reality .
Trump also lied in characterizing the states of Pennsylvania , Michigan , and North @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that have been imposed by their Democratic governors .
Although there are some restrictions in place like limits on restaurant capacity , the idea that these states are “ locked down ” is a fiction according to any reasonable understanding of the term .
On that note , Trump claimed that he “ didn ’ t say lock up the governor of Michigan ” — but at a recent rally , as his supporters chanted “ lock her up !
” targeting that governor , Trump looked on approvingly and commented to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nation starts on its final approach to Election Day , it ’ s clear — the president has little besides lies and deception to offer to the American people .
He has repeatedly failed the nation .

As Daniel Dale wrote:
‘Trump was wrong. Again, US pandemic numbers — newly confirmed cases, hospitalizations, the test positivity rate, deaths — are all getting worse, not better. There is just no basis for his vague claim that we are rounding some sort of corner in a positive direction.’
Trump also lied in characterizing the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina as currently under “lockdowns” that have been imposed by their Democratic governors. Although there are some restrictions in place like limits on restaurant capacity, the idea that these states are “locked down” is a fiction according to any reasonable understanding of the term. On that note, Trump claimed that he “didn’t say lock up the governor of Michigan” — but at a recent rally, as his supporters chanted “lock her up!” targeting that governor, Trump looked on approvingly and commented to “lock ’em all up.”
As the nation starts on its final approach to Election Day, it’s clear — the president has little besides lies and deception to offer to the American people. He has repeatedly failed the nation.

The controversy surrounding the huge level of debt forgiveness doesn’t end there.

Donald Trump has a Leave It To Beaver understanding of women. In that 1957 TV show, which would be circa the Donald, June Cleaver cleans house in a freshly pressed dress and high heels. Her hair is straight out of the beauty shop, and she never appears to do much of anything except serve meals and try to get rid of Eddie Haskell. Beaver’s dad, Ward Cleaver is the one who really worked.
This shows June as the perfect housewife in her perfect house with her perfect dinner:
Lucille Ball worked on I Love Lucy, but try as she might, she never really escaped that apartment:
Finally! Now I can get back to my stories and my coffee klatches with the neighborhood ladies. pic.twitter.com/zxguQ6X5Q4 — CallMeDaisy-RoadsScholar (@SkepBy) October 27, 2020
Trump claims he loves women, but he has a funny way of showing it. The Access Hollywood tape was released which showed him bragging about sexually assaulting women he did not know:
‘I love them much more than the men.’
Of course, strong women really get under his misogynist skin. He guns for Governor Gretchen Whitmer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (R-CA), and NBC correspondent Savannah Guthrie among others.
This last week before the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump pitched suburban housewives at a campaign rally in Lansing, Michigan:
‘We’re getting your husbands — they want to get back to work, right? We’re getting your husbands back to work.’
Weeks before the 2016 presidential election, an Access Hollywood tape surfaced and pulled him back down into the muck with it. Luckily for him, his good friend Russia’s Vladimir Putin bailed him out by releasing Secretary Hillary Clinton’s stolen emails:

In another version of the rally, this is how Trump sounded:

In Donald Trump’s world where time stopped, girls were taught in home economics how to set a table perfectly and cook Welsh Rarebit. The only recognition they received was for baking a perfect pie and winning a blue ribbon at the county fair.
Men worked. Women did not is how the saying went. They were taught the little wife should show up at the door with a martini in hand for her man, wearing an apron, a smile, and nothing else. Like a Playboy Bunny:
As the sixties rolled by, women rebelled against wearing bras and waiting upon men. With the advent of “the pill,” they had far more control over their lives. They could decide when or if they wanted to have children. In the ’70s, women began to leave unhappy marriages. They did not have to have a man in their lives to support them or for regular sex any longer.
In the ’70s and ’80s women thew out their tea parties and white gloves. They took jobs other than as teachers, secretaries, or nurses and became successful. Although they were usually paid less than men. Donald Trump does get that women are not married to their houses. They are not housewives. The TV show Mad Men portrays the Trump world rather well.
Women who stay home by choice are holding honorable and important jobs, but it is a choice. With the new Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett clinging to the far right side by her fingernails and biting Roe v. Wade in the neck, women are threatened with a one-way ticket back to the 1950s and their subservient lives.

bipartisanreport--2020-10-27--Trump Blows The ‘Suburban Women’ Vote With Sexist Tuesday Meltdown

President Donald Trump is continuing to spew vitriol as Election Day approaches .
During a Tuesday rally in Michigan , which Trump won in 2016 but might not win this time around , Trump ranted against targets including Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar , Michigan ’ s Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer — and journalist Lesley Stahl , who Trump is still complaining about days after he abruptly marched out of an interview that Stahl had been conducting with him .
Trump totally melted down ; he ’ s complained that she asked “ tough ” questions , and on Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview as “ terrible Electoral Intrusion , ” as if he imagines that there ’ s a conspiracy to undermine his campaign via… journalists asking him questions .
Trump ’ s vitriolic antagonism towards Stahl reeks of sexism .
Trump has targeted female reporters on numerous occasions in the past — once , for instance , he commented to Cecilia Vega that he “ knows ” that she “ never ” thinks .
This time around , on Tuesday , Trump insisted that there was “ fire coming out of ” Stahl ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Trump added that “ it ’ s hopeless with these people.
” These “ poor me ” comments are just so incredibly petty — it ’ s totally wild !
How are there so many people willing to support this self-obsessed pathological narcissist running the country ?
Notably , Trump ’ s comments about Stahl hearken back to his 2016-era complaint that journalist Megyn Kelly had “ blood coming out of her wherever ” while questioning him — which sounds , of course , vitriolically sexist .
At his Michigan rally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that his re-election campaign was proceeding quite smoothly before the Coronavirus came along .
Does he want Americans to just forget that he got impeached ?
‘ We will deliver record prosperity , epic job growth , and a safe vaccine that eradicates the virus and quickly ends the pandemic , and we ’ ve done things that nobody believed we could do… Normal life will fully resume , and that ’ s what we want , right ?
We want normal life… We had the greatest economy in the history of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the plague come in from China , it wasn ’ t even gon na be like we had an election .
The only bad part is I probably wouldn ’ t be standing out here in the freezing rain with you .
I ’ d be home in the White House doing whatever the hell I was doing.
’ Um — shouldn ’ t the president of the United States have a better idea of what his job responsibilities entail other than “ whatever the hell I was doing ” ?

There was "Fire coming out of her eyes," @realDonaldTrump says about 60 minutes Lesley Stahl. "It's hopeless with these people." — Kathy Gray (@michpoligal) October 27, 2020
At his Michigan rally, Trump also — ridiculously — claimed that his re-election campaign was proceeding quite smoothly before the Coronavirus came along. Does he want Americans to just forget that he got impeached?
Trump self-confidently insisted:
‘We will deliver record prosperity, epic job growth, and a safe vaccine that eradicates the virus and quickly ends the pandemic, and we’ve done things that nobody believed we could do… Normal life will fully resume, and that’s what we want, right?

Um — shouldn’t the president of the United States have a better idea of what his job responsibilities entail other than “whatever the hell I was doing”? Watch Trump’s comments below:

bipartisanreport--2020-10-27--GOP Caught Accepting Illegal Donation From Foreign Senator

New reporting has spotlighted a ( comparatively small ) amount of illegal foreign financial support for the Trump campaign from a perhaps surprising place : Canada .
In May , Canadian Senator Lynn Beyak donated $ 300 to the Republican National Committee , despite the fact that financial support from foreigners for U.S. political campaigns is flatly prohibited by United States law .
Alongside her donation , Beyak said that she was retired and claimed that her mailing address was a post office box on Davis Point Road in Dryden , New York — but that address does not correspond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s office claims that the Senator made the donation “ in error ” and the money “ is now being returned in its entirety.
” As Vice notes , Beyak ’ s office failed to indicate “ what error was made , why she misstated her address , or when the “ error ” was reported to the Republicans.
” How exactly did Beyak — who is a supporter of far-right causes in Canada — mistakenly send the illegal donation to the U.S. Republican Party ?
She clearly fabricated her address when submitting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact , a Dryden , New York — but Beyak seems to live in Dryden , Ontario , and Vice News reports that a “ phonebook listing that matches the street address from the GOP donation receipt corresponds to ” Beyak .
Did the Senator stumble on a request for Trump campaign donations and fail to realize that she was barred from legally donating , since she ’ s not an American citizen ?
Assuming a mere mistake seems inappropriate , because Beyak seems to have faked her address .
Members of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ministers , and they are legally bound to retire at the age of 75 .
Beyak was appointed in 2013 by then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper .
Beyak has been an independent in the Canadian Senate since 2017 — she was formally removed from the Senate ’ s Conservative caucus after she proposed “ a program to offer cash to Indigenous peoples to give up their protected status and land , ” Vice News reports .
Beyak has been temporarily suspended from the Senate twice : the first time , she was ordered to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , she was suspended for failing to complete the training .
Although she ’ s an independent in the Canadian Senate , in 2019 , Beyak donated $ 1,000 to Maxime Bernier ’ s People ’ s Party , which is a far-right group .

The GOP has struggled to keep up with the pace of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate have raised huge sums of money , and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has also raised a ton .

Beyak’s office claims that the Senator made the donation “in error” and the money “is now being returned in its entirety.”

The Secret Service has to go with Donald Trump wherever he goes. So, how does he reward them? He shows his appreciation by charging them three dollars for a glass of water. Nice, hunh? Exactly how does POTUS bilk the nation?
Investigative reporters at The Washington Post newspaper compiled information about what Trump has been doing:
‘Since 2017, Trump’s company has charged taxpayers for hotel rooms, ballrooms, cottages, rental houses, golf carts, votive candles, floating candles, candelabras, furniture moving, resort fees, decorative palm trees, strip steak, chocolate cake, breakfast buffets, $88 bottles of wine and $1,000 worth of liquor for White House aides. And water.’
Why even go to Mar-a-Lago? A “towering arrangement of roses [was] to welcome the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trump claimed his resort was “more comfortable” than Washington:
”It is, indeed, the Southern White House.’
Trump’s club even charged for the smallest of services. When Trump and Abe met alone, with no food served, the government still got a bill for what they drank:
‘Bilateral meeting. Water. $3 each.’
Trump told reporters it was a matter of “comfort:”
‘People like my product, what can I tell you, can’t help it.’
Trump said:
‘If I win, I may never see my property — I may never see these places again. Because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf. Believe me.’
‘Trump ripped off a minimum of $8.1 million since he took office.
Trump’s Palm Beach, FL club billed the U.S. government $13,700 for guest rooms, $16,500 for food and wine, and $6,000 for the roses and other floral arrangements.
He’s visited his hotels and clubs 280-plus times.
He converted Mar-a-Lago into a GOP magnet for “glitzy fundraisers for his own reelection campaign” events:
‘Trump’s campaign and fundraising committee paid $5.6 million to his companies since his inauguration in January 2017.’
‘A check from the State Department to Mar-a-Lago showed payments for catering and flower arrangements during Abe’s visit and for his Secret Service agents, and Trump’s staff.
While Trump was publicly donating his $400,000 annual presidential salary, he was privately using his power to bring his businesses far more than that.
According to federal policy, Trump’s aide could pay a maximum of $182 for a room at Mar-a-Lago, according to the GSA. But Mar-a-Lago was not charging $182.
But Mar-a-Lago was not charging $182. Federal rules allowed them to pay up to three times the normal limit — $546, in this case — with authorization. Guess who authorized it?
The Mar-a-Lago lowered the rate it charged the State Department to “$396.15 per night and provided partial refunds for some of the earlier charges above that.’
Ryan Shapiro belongs to the Property of the People organization and whose “lawsuits and public records helped bring some of the earliest details of this spending to light:”
‘Americans elect a president to serve the people, not profit off them. Yet President Trump exploits his office to line his pockets with taxpayer dollars.’
Shapiro said:
‘The amounts we’re seeing are just the tip of the iceberg.’
State Department employee Michael Dobbs wrote his colleagues, in an email later released to the public:
‘[There’s] a five bedroom house that three of the senior staff are staying in at $2,600 per night. The two other Senior staffers (Bannon and Walsh) are expected to be charged $546 for their rooms.’
An anonymous former official said:
‘It’s a hell of a lot easier to do it at the White House, which is set up for. It’s a pain in the [posterior] having those guys down there for the staff.’
The State Department and the White House refused to release their records.
