Trump dislikes the FBI, probably because it does not bend to his will. These dedicated professionals have saved democracy in rather spectacular ways. FBI Director Christopher Wray may be the last government leader who is not embroiled in the president’s web of disillusion, defeatism, and rage. Director Wray released a video about protecting us as POTUS encourages homegrown terrorists. The threat continues.
Trump speaks to self-described militias like the ones that plotted to kidnap, try, and hang Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D). He commanded they go “to watch” the elections aka intimidate and suppress voters.
Wray said that the FBI is committed to protecting Americans’ right to vote in a fair and free election:
‘Rest assured…we’re not going to tolerate foreign interference in our elections or criminal activity that. threatens the sanctity of your vote or undermines public confidence in the outcome of the election.’
This but a piece of the terrorist plan. The alt-right men who were charged in kidnapping the governor were not done. They also talked about “taking” Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D). Do we see a pattern here?
The so-called militia went to court in Grand Rapid, Michigan for the alleged plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer. FBI Special Agent Richard Trask said some of these criminals met in Dublin, Ohio to talk about taking Northam. These pockets of homegrown terrorists use social media to link up in ways that never used to be possible. When they met in Dublin, terrorists from four to five states came to further finesse their plans.
Trask told the court state-mandated restrictions from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to halt the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, agitated these criminals, according to The Washington Post:
‘At this meeting they discussed possible targets, taking a sitting governor, specifically issues with the governors of Michigan and Virginia, based upon the lockdown orders.’
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit America’s shores, POTUS met with his family and made a cruel decision. Dump the pandemic onto the governors to solve. They felt only blue state governors had major outbreaks. The president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner suggested that they could get as many people sick with the virus as possible then dump the blame on Democratic governors. That might have been the impetus-gone-wild for the no-mask program.
POTUS tweeted, shouting in all caps that these blue states must be “liberated.” Basically, he was telling homegrown terrorists to capture their state capitols.
The group became more and more paranoid as their plot was closing in on action:
‘At one point, the accused collaborators scanned each other’s bodies for radio signals, to see if anyone was wearing a recording device, the agent said. While the scans turned up nothing, the group’s alleged plot was infiltrated by two informants and two undercover agents, Trask said.’
Twitter took off when they heard about the second plot to kidnap a different governor. Take a look and see what you think:

bipartisanreport--2020-10-13--‘The Lincoln Project’ Hits Trump With Electric Tuesday Takedown

In a new video ad , the anti-Trump conservative group known as The Lincoln Project harshly criticizes the president for his relationship towards China .
Trump has kept up an air of antagonism towards Chinese leaders throughout his time in office , but the reality is that he has frequently capitulated to the dictatorial leaders of the country .
Towards the early part of the Coronavirus pandemic , he praised the country ’ s response to the virus , which first emerged within their borders .
Before that development , Trump ’ s former national security adviser John Bolton says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to purchase from American farmers in order to help boost Trump ’ s political prospects .
The Lincoln Project says that “ China made Donald Trump roll over like a dog.
” At a recent vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris , Pence claimed that , in contrast , it ’ s Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden who has been a “ cheerleader ” for China for decades .
Journalist Mehdi Hasan called that claim “ too dumb to even fact-check.
” In the new Lincoln Project ad , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing pretend again , saying he ’ s the one to take on China .
They can ’ t wait .
They know Donald Trump is weak , corrupt , ridiculed .
China beats him every time .
No matter what he says , China ’ s got his number .
Trump even begged Chinese leader Xi to help him win re-election — like a dog .
Trade negotiations ?
China won .
Trump ’ s tariffs — they laughed as Trump hit American families with higher taxes .
Trump ’ s trade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bankrupt .
China ’ s military — expanding without American leadership in the region .
President Xi ?
Trump rolls over for China ’ s president every time.
’ Check out the video below : Trump has consistently tried to depict himself as tough on the dictatorial leaders of China , but this characterization is false .
According to appalling revelations from John Bolton , Trump encouraged Chinese leaders ’ construction of concentration camps for Muslims , and the president apparently joked with Chinese leader Xi Jinping about somehow serving beyond the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which Trump has “ joked ” about in other contexts as well .

As of Tuesday morning , the FiveThirtyEight average of national-level polling data has Biden in the lead by 10.6 percent .

bipartisanreport--2020-10-13--Latest Senate Projections Move Three GOP-Held Seats Towards Democrats

The odds seem to be increasing that , once the next session of Congress begins , Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) will no longer be the Senate Majority Leader — assuming that he ’ s still in the Senate at all and doesn ’ t happen to lose his own ongoing re-election battle against Democratic challenger Amy McGrath .

Following their updates , the Cook Political Report now rates the U.S. Senate seats currently held by John Cornyn of Texas and Dan Sullivan of Alaska as merely “ leaning ” towards the GOP rather than “ likely ” Republican wins , which is what they ’ d been rated as previously .

Amazingly , the toss-up column even includes the South Carolina Senate seat that is currently held by Republican Lindsey Graham .
Graham ’ s opponent — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his campaign had raised a staggering $ 57 million in the third quarter of 2020 , which is the highest single-quarter fundraising total for any U.S. Senate candidate ever .
During Tuesday ’ s part of the confirmation hearings for Trump Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett , Graham suggested that there could be some kind of conspiracy against him underlying the funds , but that ’ s nonsense .

bipartisanreport--2020-10-13--Democrats Pile On Amy Barrett  At SCOTUS Hearing & Expose Her Incompetence

On Tuesday , during day two of the confirmation process for Trump Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett , Democrats had some tough questions for the pick for the nation ’ s highest court — and Barrett had some dubious answers .
For instance , during questioning from Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vt. ) , Barrett indicated that she did not even know the basic statistic of how many Americans are covered by the Affordable Care Act ( Obamacare ) , which she may be promptly tasked with hearing a case over shortly after her presumably imminent confirmation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ refused to commit to recusing herself from 2020 election-related cases , despite the president ’ s stated readiness to take his unfounded election concerns to the court .
Meanwhile , while speaking with the Senate Judiciary Committee ’ s top Democrat , Dianne Feinstein ( Calif. ) , Barrett declined to commit to a particular view on whether Roe v. Wade “ can and should be overturned.
” That case , of course , legalized abortion across the country .
During Feinstein ’ s questioning , Barrett also declined to commit to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president with the power to “ unilaterally delay an election.
” With Donald Trump in power , one might hope that a member of the U.S. Supreme Court would be more willing to publicly present a firm perspective on the legal status of anti-democratic tyranny .
Trump has already publicly established his readiness to head to the U.S. Supreme Court with any post-Election Day disputes over the results , which he ’ s already suggested he may refuse to accept .
Barrett insisted in response to the question about whether delaying the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ we want judges to approach cases thoughtfully and with an open mind.
” Check out her comments below : As for the Roe v. Wade question , on which Barrett was similarly non-committal , the judge said : ‘ That ’ s a case that ’ s litigated — it ’ s contours could come up again , [ and ] in fact , do come up .
They came up last term before the court… it ’ s a contentious issue , which is , I know , one reason why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have an answer , but I can ’ t express views on cases or pre-commit to approaching a case in a particular way.
’ The dubious moments did not end there .
At one point , Barrett also used the term “ sexual preference ” to describe LGBTQ people .

There is a lot that ’ s potentially at stake with the Barrett confirmation process .
Shortly after the election , the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a case about the Affordable Care Act , which Barrett has previously expressed opposition to .
If the timeline that GOP Senators have presented comes through , then Barrett will be confirmed before the election and on the court to hear that case .

While speaking with Leahy, Barrett also refused to commit to recusing herself from 2020 election-related cases, despite the president’s stated readiness to take his unfounded election concerns to the court.
Sen. Leahy asks whether Justice Barrett would recuse herself if disputes arise out of the election, noting that Trump has said his SCOTUS pick could decide the outcome. Barrett will not commit: "I can't offer an opinion on recusal without short-circuiting that entire process." — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) October 13, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-10-14--Obama Issues Pre-Election Marching Orders Like A Real Leader

In states across the country , Republicans who fear losing big in 2020 have worked to suppress the voter turnout , goaded along and supported by their party leader , Donald Trump .
From limiting the number of drop boxes to more nefarious methods , such as placing fake drop boxes around their cities , the GOP has done everything in their considerable power to ensure that as few voters as possible have their votes counted .
To help combat this , President Barack Obama filmed a set of 15 videos , state-specific to Arizona , Colorado , Florida , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Minnesota , Nebraska , Nevada , New Hampshire , North Carolina , Ohio , Pennsylvania , Texas , Virginia , and Wisconsin explaining the most important information on how to vote in those states .
In the video , Obama says that : ‘ So much is at stake in this election , from getting the pandemic under control to building a fairer economy to taking on climate change to protecting our healthcare .
You can change our direction on every issue .
That ’ s the power of your vote.
’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suppress the vote , an issue that Obama takes very seriously .
Since the Republican Party relies on low turnout to win , it is more important than ever for Democrats to get their votes cast .
According to The Hill : The efforts are working , too .
Record turnout in early voting numbers in states like Georgia , Kentucky , Texas , and South Carolina have shocked observers and threaten the GOP ’ s strongholds in those states .

The effort follows the repeated attempts to suppress the vote, an issue that Obama takes very seriously. Since the Republican Party relies on low turnout to win, it is more important than ever for Democrats to get their votes cast.
According to The Hill:
‘During the 2020 campaigns, Democrats have routinely accused the GOP of engaging in voter suppression while Republicans have in turn claimed the existence of widespread voter fraud, despite almost no evidence to suggest that major voter fraud occurs in the U.S.’
This is what voter suppression looks like. In the year 2020, people shouldn't have to wait in line for 5 hours to exercise a constitutional right to vote. We need federal law which respects democracy and makes it easy to vote in every state and end all forms of voter suppression. https://t.co/07ReQPK5kH — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) October 13, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-10-14--Trump Tweets Delirious Evening Rage Like A Doped Up Maniac

Okay , something is going on here .
Less than two weeks ago , Donald Trump was being flown by helicopter to Walter Reed Military Medical Center with a deadly serious case of the coronavirus , PBS reported .
After all , he needed oxygen several times his doctor said .
Before he caught COVID-19 , the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office would come home from his rallies and send out his morning tweets hours later than usual .
So what is up with this Twitter-a-holic now ?
One possibility is that he never had the disease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hoax .
Even the so-called “ mild ” cases of this disease are quite serious , just not as bad as the go-to-the-hospital-and-onto-a-ventilator type .
At the president ’ s last rally , he was dancing down the walkway like Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the Superbowl halftime show .
Well , perhaps not that energetically .
Maybe his latest tweets will give us a hint about what is going on with this man who is magically healed .

Okay, something is going on here. Less than two weeks ago, Donald Trump was being flown by helicopter to Walter Reed Military Medical Center with a deadly serious case of the coronavirus, PBS reported. After all, he needed oxygen several times his doctor said. Before he caught COVID-19, the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office would come home from his rallies and send out his morning tweets hours later than usual. So what is up with this Twitter-a-holic now?
One possibility is that he never had the disease, and it was all a big hoax. Even the so-called “mild” cases of this disease are quite serious, just not as bad as the go-to-the-hospital-and-onto-a-ventilator type. At the president’s last rally, he was dancing down the walkway like Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the Superbowl halftime show. Well, perhaps not that energetically.

Maybe his latest tweets will give us a hint about what is going on with this man who is magically healed. Let us hope he does not try to walk on water next. Right after his miraculous cure, POTUS was tweeting about his health care plan. He promises to protect people with pre-existing conditions by signing an executive order commanding it:
‘Replying to @realDonaldTrump….protecting people with Pre-existing conditions. He has done nothing on Healthcare, cost or otherwise, or virtually anything else. An empty suit!!!’
Executive orders are not royal decrees. It is not within his powers to provide for pre-existing conditions with the stroke of a pen. Here is the truth. Donald Trump has no plan, just like the emperor had no clothes. He has been bulldozing Congress from when he first took office to kill Obamacare (ACA/Affordable Care Act). He has tried to destroy President Barack Obama’s entire legacy. His Republican-led Congress tried 70 times to kill the ACA and failed. POTUS tweeted about his Supreme Court pick he is convinced will strike the death knell for Obamacare:
‘How dare failed Presidential Candidate (1% and falling!) @CoryBooker make false charges and statements about me in addressing Judge Barrett. Illegally, never even lived in Newark when he was Mayor. Guy is a total loser! I want better Healthcare for far less money, always…..’
So now, the president is double-stepping his pick for the Supreme Court through her confirmation hearing. Then, on November 10, she will be able to cast the deciding vote in his favor and possibly the one to install him in the presidency, just like George W. Bush:
‘Totally Negative China Virus Reports. Hit it early and hard. Fake News is devastated. They are very bad (and sick!) people!’ This election is a simple choice: If Biden Wins, China Wins.

There is one lonely committee in a Congress with its vast echoing halls. Senator Moscow Mitch McConnell (R-KY) sent everyone home even as desperate Americans have no food, are homeless, and have seen their jobs disappear. That must be one important committee to the Republicans given that these senators are risking their lives, literally, while the other Republicans are on vacation, again. The Judiciary Committee is ramming through an ultra-ultra conservative woman. So what is up with that?
Judge Amy Barrett belongs to an unusual sect of the Catholic Church that does not believe in birth control, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), or abortion. Her name did not even appear on the conservative Heritage Foundation potential justice list until she wrote a paper that caught their attention, much like Attorney General William Barr’s lengthy job interview paper for Donald Trump.
Now that Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG) is gone, Justice Sotomayor will be listed as the lone dissenter standing against Donald Trump’s successful attempt to stop the Census gathering prematurely, according to Law & Crime.
The Supreme Court of the United States granted an emergency stay siding with Trump and allowing the White House to halt collection of census data now instead of at the end of October.
Barrett will make any vote six to three in a Court heavily weighted for the Republicans. McConnell stole President Barack Obama’s last SCOTUS appointment. The committee’s chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that no justice should be appointed during an election year. This year, he said nevermind. They are ramming Barrett through during an ongoing election. As of Tuesday, 14 million Americans have already voted. The Republicans have killed two of the Democrats’ legitimate appointments.
A federal court found that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross should not have shut down Census collection at the end of September rather than October 31. The Census Bureau established that one-time deadline to take into consideration the COVID-19 pandemic.
Law requires that the Census Bureau send its results to the president by December 31, 2020. Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that the House of Representatives passed a law extending the deadline in July:
‘President Trump did not initially object, publicly stating that ‘I don’t know that you even have to ask [Congress]. This is called an act of God. This is called a situation that has to be.’
Trump unilaterally said he was excluding undocumented immigrants from the count for purposes of congressional representation and data collection a month early.
This would mean the states cities, counties, Native American tribes, and several advocacy groups sued to get the deadline reinstated. Fewer people in the Census would mean less federal funding Justice Sotomayor dissented. The US government claimed two months was not enough time to collate the data. She said:
‘Only recently have officials begun to claim that the Bureau might yet be able to meet the statutory deadline, and even then, their story keeps changing.’
The justice continued:
‘The Trump administration is trying to] downplay [the] risk by asserting that over 99 percent of households in 49 States are already accounted for even a fraction of a percent of the Nation’s 140 million households amounts to hundreds of thousands of people left uncounted.’
Sotomayor continued:
‘And significantly, the percentage of nonresponses is likely much higher among marginalized populations and in hard-to-count areas, such as rural and tribal lands. [They] will disproportionately bear the burden of any inaccuracies.’

Sen. Ted Cruz ( R-Texas ) hasn ’ t exactly earned accolades from those outside of his base following his participation in the already completed portions of the confirmation hearings for Trump Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett .
On Tuesday , Cruz ranted against a previous argument from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse ( D-R.I. ) , who had used his time to lay out the case of so-called “ dark money ” in politics .
On Wednesday , Whitehouse denounced Cruz as a hypocrite during an MSNBC appearance .
Meanwhile , during the Wednesday portion of the confirmation hearings , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Democrats ’ push for expanding voting rights to some convicts means that they ’ d have murderous cult leader Charles Manson participate in elections .
Manson died almost three years ago .
The day before , during his lengthy Tuesday complaints , Cruz claimed that Democrats want to undermine the Bill of Rights , which is not true .
Nevertheless , he insisted : ‘ I think all of those rights… [ are ] incredibly important to Americans .
I also think what is really striking about this hearing… is that Senate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is really a radical agenda that they have when it comes to the Bill of Rights , and the topics they ’ re discussing today have little bearing to the rights that are really at issue and in jeopardy at the Supreme Court.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) hasn’t exactly earned accolades from those outside of his base following his participation in the already completed portions of the confirmation hearings for Trump Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett. On Tuesday, Cruz ranted against a previous argument from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who had used his time to lay out the case of so-called “dark money” in politics. On Wednesday, Whitehouse denounced Cruz as a hypocrite during an MSNBC appearance. Meanwhile, during the Wednesday portion of the confirmation hearings, Cruz drew attention again. He claimed that Democrats’ push for expanding voting rights to some convicts means that they’d have murderous cult leader Charles Manson participate in elections. Manson died almost three years ago.
Cruz suggests that Democrats' growing opposition to felon disenfranchisement means they want Charles Manson, "who is serving multiple life sentences," to vote. Manson died in 2017. — Matt Ford (@fordm) October 14, 2020
The day before, during his lengthy Tuesday complaints, Cruz claimed that Democrats want to undermine the Bill of Rights, which is not true. Nevertheless, he insisted:
‘I think all of those rights… [are] incredibly important to Americans. I also think what is really striking about this hearing… is that Senate Democrats are not defending what I think is really a radical agenda that they have when it comes to the Bill of Rights, and the topics they’re discussing today have little bearing to the rights that are really at issue and in jeopardy at the Supreme Court.’
Whitehouse issued a systematic rebuttal to Cruz during his time on MSNBC on Wednesday. The issue of so-called “dark money,” which Cruz also discussed, stems from a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in which the court concluded that restrictions on independent political spending by corporations were illegal. That ruling opened the door to huge waves of corporate cash-driven political advocacy swamping the political process.
While it’s true that Democrats have also benefited from some of this spending, the difference is that it’s Republicans who changed the rules of the game, Whitehouse said. Rather than finding common ground in order to find a way forward, Cruz seems more focused on scoring political points. Whitehouse said:
‘Republicans want [dark money], we do not, but since their Republican majority on the Supreme Court created unlimited money in politics and allowed dark money to infiltrate that, we have to fight back, and we have no choice but to do that. I think we’re doing the right thing to do that, but it’s the height of hypocrisy to blame us for participating in a game that they have protected.’
Whitehouse discussed the problem of these conservative big spenders taking over the judicial process via their intervention in the nomination process and their subsequent intervention in the court process itself through means like third party court filings in support of a particular position that can be traced back to the same big money interest.
As Whitehouse put it:
‘I don’t know that it’s a messaging war. I think it’s a war for integrity in government and a war for transparency and a war to get grubby special interest fingers out of places they don’t belong. That’s not just messaging — that’s real, and I think we need to win that war. I think it’s important we win that war.’

bipartisanreport--2020-10-14--‘The Lincoln Project’ Targets Vulnerable GOP Senator With Election-Influencing Video

The anti-Trump conservative group known as The Lincoln Project is not confining their ire to the president — they ’ re also going after his enablers in Congress .
Among other affronts against his political allies , The Lincoln Project has released a hard-hitting new video ad that accuses Iowa ’ s Republican U.S .
Senator Joni Ernst of failing to stick up for the people of her state .
Ernst , like many other Republican Senators , quite closely follows the party line , as set by the president and Mitch McConnell .
Ernst is running for re-election in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
FiveThirtyEight calls their race a toss-up as of Wednesday .
The new Lincoln Project ad singles out Ernst ’ s support for the Trump administration ’ s disastrous trade policies and her similar support for their disastrous response to the Coronavirus pandemic .
The president ’ s punitive , tariff-driven trade war with China has left American farms struggling , and the Coronavirus pandemic has claimed just about 1,500 lives in Iowa alone .
In the Lincoln Project ad , a narrator says , in part : ‘ When times are this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ d think Joni Ernst would stand up , speak up , and fight for us , but Iowa ’ s figured out Joni never had it in her to do the right thing .
Since Joni got to Washington , she spends her time kissing up to Mitch McConnell , voting with him and against Iowa , time and again .
On trade , she sticks with a Trump plan that ’ s driving too many Iowa farms to bankruptcy .
On COVID , she ’ s never confronted the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives… A real Iowa leader would do everything she could to protect us .
A real Iowa leader would stand for what ’ s right — not for what ’ s easy.
’ Check out the full ad below : The last time that Ernst had an outright lead in a poll cataloged by FiveThirtyEight was when a Fabrizio Ward/ Hart Research Associates from late August/ early September found her ahead by 5 percent , although she and Greenfield have been tied in a couple polls since that survey .
Broadly , Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control of the Senate , according to FiveThirtyEight .
Democrats are doing well in U.S. Senate races in Colorado , Arizona , Maine , and elsewhere .

In the Lincoln Project ad, a narrator says, in part:

bipartisanreport--2020-10-14--Navy SEAL From Bin Laden Raid Humiliates Trump In Front Of America

President Donald Trump retweeted a totally ludicrous conspiracy theory on Twitter this week suggesting that the Obama administration never oversaw the execution of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden at all .
In fact , the theory claims , the Navy SEALs team that went after bin Laden actually killed a body double , and the utterly ludicrous theory adds that then-Vice President Joe Biden supposedly ordered a Navy SEAL helicopter to be shot down in order to help hide the supposed truth of the situation .
Robert O ’ Neill — who was on the Navy SEAL team that took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a memorable public response to the lunacy .
The original utterly bonkers conspiracy theory that the president retweeted came from an account that has since been suspended .
At the time of the president ’ s retweet , the account was operating under the username of “ Oscar the Midnight Rider 1111 , ” but based on a link in the profile to a companion account on the right-wing social media site Parler , the account appears to belong to someone named Kari Donovan , who describes herself as “ an ex-Community Organizer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Donovan ’ s since suspended Twitter account , she included a hashtag — “ # TrustthePlan ” — related to the infamous far-right conspiracy theory known as QAnon , which has no relationship to reality yet has drawn in fans across the internet anyway .
The president has given oxygen to conspiracy theories before this incident .
All the way back during the 2016 Republican presidential primary , Trump suggested that challenger Ted Cruz ’ s father may have had something to do with the murder of John F. Kennedy .
More @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for QAnon as a whole , although he didn ’ t seem overly familiar with the tenets of their unhinged belief system .
He simply said that the loony conspiracy theory ’ s adherents “ love our country.

President Donald Trump retweeted a totally ludicrous conspiracy theory on Twitter this week suggesting that the Obama administration never oversaw the execution of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden at all. In fact, the theory claims, the Navy SEALs team that went after bin Laden actually killed a body double, and the utterly ludicrous theory adds that then-Vice President Joe Biden supposedly ordered a Navy SEAL helicopter to be shot down in order to help hide the supposed truth of the situation. Robert O’Neill — who was on the Navy SEAL team that took out bin Laden — has now offered a memorable public response to the lunacy.
On Twitter, O’Neill commented:
‘Very brave men said goodby to their kids to go kill Osama bin Laden. We were given the order by President Obama. It was not a body double. Thank you Mr. President. Happy birthday @USNavy’

The original utterly bonkers conspiracy theory that the president retweeted came from an account that has since been suspended. At the time of the president’s retweet, the account was operating under the username of “Oscar the Midnight Rider 1111,” but based on a link in the profile to a companion account on the right-wing social media site Parler, the account appears to belong to someone named Kari Donovan, who describes herself as “an ex-Community Organizer and Homeschool Mom.” In the bio of Donovan’s since suspended Twitter account, she included a hashtag — “#TrustthePlan” — related to the infamous far-right conspiracy theory known as QAnon, which has no relationship to reality yet has drawn in fans across the internet anyway.
The president has given oxygen to conspiracy theories before this incident. All the way back during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, Trump suggested that challenger Ted Cruz’s father may have had something to do with the murder of John F. Kennedy. More recently, he has expressed tepid support for QAnon as a whole, although he didn’t seem overly familiar with the tenets of their unhinged belief system. He simply said that the loony conspiracy theory’s adherents “love our country.”
