Donald Trump is getting desperate. He has sent armed troops into major cities with Democratic mayors supposedly for crowd control. The clips show flash-bang grenades and pepper balls shot into mothers protecting Americans’ freedom. These militia strike grandparents and veterans alike. A new vital state poll shows how Americans feel about Trump’s Troops.
In the new NBC News-Marist Poll presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads POTUS by seven points in North Carolina. That was supposed to be an easy take for Trump, after all, he carried in in 2016. Now, the has become the epicenter for the Biden-Trump election.
Donald Trump has three areas of malfunction: race relations, the coronavirus pandemic, and the tanking economy.
Trump’s approval rating has dropped like a rock whereas he overtook Secretary Hillary Clinton by three points in the last presidential election. Among North Carolinians, 41 percent approve of the president’s job performance, 55 disapprove in a decline of 11 points over the past quarter.
A full 51 percent of registered voters would back Biden in 2020, and 44 percent would go for Trump. Independents were Biden’s along with Black voters, and women:
‘In a head-to-head contest, Biden leads among independents (49 percent to 41 percent), Black voters (86 percent to 8 percent), women (58 percent to 37 percent) and voters who dislike both major candidates (52 percent to 27 percent).’
Director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion Lee Miringoff said:
‘Biden is in good shape in North Carolina as long as the coronavirus or race relations is top of mind. His downside is if focus shifts to the economy, where Trump has the advantage.’
Trump still leads among white voters and men:
‘Trump maintains an advantage among white voters (54 percent to 42 percent), men (52 percent to 43 percent) and white voters without college degrees (69 percent to 28 percent).’
The national polls all reflect POTUS’ core voters:
‘Mirroring national polls, Trump also has an edge in the intensity of his support. Seventy-five percent of Trump voters in North Carolina say they strongly support him, while 64 percent of Biden voters say the same about their candidate.’
On the virus, Trump took 34 percent against Biden’s 51 percent on who could best handle the pandemic:
‘Overall, about half of voters in North Carolina — 48 percent — say the pandemic is getting worse in the state. Just 14 percent say it is getting better, while 36 percent say it is staying about the same. The share who say the pandemic is getting worse includes 66 percent of Biden voters but just 28 percent of Trump voters.’
Trump still did well on the economy. Fifty-two percent selected him over Biden’s 39 percent in North Carolina.
The NBC News-Marist Poll was from a random sampling of 1,087 voting-age North Carolinians and 882 of the state’s registered voters. It took place between July 14 and July 22. The margin of error was 3.7 +/- percentage points.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-27--Trump Tweets Nonsense About Seattle & Portland During Monday Hissy-Fit

President Donald Trump continues his desperate campaign to convince observers that his administration is somehow actually running appropriately .
Early this Monday morning , as outrage continued to circulate over the federal agents who have been deployed into a number of cities to violently confront peaceful protesters , Trump took to Twitter to defend those deployed agents .
Specifically , he claimed that the media is “ calling… wrong ” the agents who ’ ve been deployed to Seattle , although it ’ s unclear what exactly he is talking about .
He seems to be trying to make up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to distract from the fact that his administration is using paramilitary violence to confront peaceful protesters .
‘ Homeland Security or Federal Forces are little involved in Seattle , other than we have a large standby team in case of emergency .
The media is calling that one wrong also .
In Portland , we are protecting Federal property , including the Courthouse , which wouldn ’ t last a day !
’ Again — it ’ s unclear what supposed media falsehoods that the president is actually talking about .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was posted about two days before his tweet clearly notes that , according to two sources , the “ agents sent to Seattle are on standby to help other federal law enforcement officials protect federal facilities in the city.
” In other words , no , the media is not “ calling that one wrong.
” Similarly , the media has not conspired to keep the truth of the situation in Portland from members of the public .
It ’ s not some kind of secret that federal agents have gone to Portland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Yet , it ’ s also not a secret that those agents have used incidents like graffiti as excuses for violence against peaceful demonstrators .
A short time before the above tweet , Trump proved how delusionally reality-disconnected he really is .
He insisted that a “ wall of moms ” protest in Portland — which consisted of , as the name suggests , a group of mothers — was a “ scam.
” What on earth is he talking about ?
Does he think that a secret , underground , DNC-funded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t actually moms ?
Obviously , there is no such base .
The point is that Trump is delusional .

Specifically, he claimed that the media is “calling… wrong” the agents who’ve been deployed to Seattle, although it’s unclear what exactly he is talking about. He seems to be trying to make up falsehoods on the media’s part in order to distract from the fact that his administration is using paramilitary violence to confront peaceful protesters.
Trump tweeted:

Again — it’s unclear what supposed media falsehoods that the president is actually talking about. An article from the Associated Press that was posted about two days before his tweet clearly notes that, according to two sources, the “agents sent to Seattle are on standby to help other federal law enforcement officials protect federal facilities in the city.” In other words, no, the media is not “calling that one wrong.” Similarly, the media has not conspired to keep the truth of the situation in Portland from members of the public. It’s not some kind of secret that federal agents have gone to Portland under the pretext of protecting federal property. Yet, it’s also not a secret that those agents have used incidents like graffiti as excuses for violence against peaceful demonstrators.
A short time before the above tweet, Trump proved how delusionally reality-disconnected he really is. He insisted that a “wall of moms” protest in Portland — which consisted of, as the name suggests, a group of mothers — was a “scam.” What on earth is he talking about? Does he think that a secret, underground, DNC-funded mega-base for Antifa dispatched women who weren’t actually moms? Obviously, there is no such base. The point is that Trump is delusional.
"Mothers" in quotation marks. Then the "dads" in orange, and then the "veterans", and then the "nurses" … Man the anarchists have a very deep crisis actor pool. The fact no one in the GOP will step in here to argue for reality, at the very least, is damning forever. https://t.co/9Mmc4BXZ1T — John Rogers (@jonrog1) July 26, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-07-28--Trump Snarls That ‘Cities Will Burn’ If Biden Wins During 5-Tweet Freak Out

On Monday , the same president whose administration said would be focused on the “ issues ” during the last 100 days before the election spent the day tweeting and ranting about protesters and Twitter ’ s trending list .
Apparently , those are the issues most important to him .
Just as conservatives once fear mongered around the Civil Rights protests in the 1960s , Trump has beat the drum about “ anarchists ” and “ rioters ” for weeks .
With little else to brag about since the coronavirus epidemic is spinning out of control once again and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filed , Trump has bragged about sending federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security into Portland , Oregon and now other cities to brutalize peaceful protesters along with the handful of people causing trouble .
Trump ’ s complaints about Twitter while Americans suffer a plunging economy and a rocketing virus spread is just par for the Trump administration course .
His endless whining about being “ censored ” by social media when he doesn ’ t get the crowd reactions he wants misses a broader point : the majority of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Trump ’ s “ make America great again ” slogan , it ’ s really lost all of its meaning .
Trump has been in office for nearly four years after promising to make America great again , so are we making American great again again or did he not live up to his promises the first time ?
Most voters would take that second option .
Twitter had a big reaction to Trump ’ s series of Monday night tweets .

The Fake News Media is trying to portray the Portland and Seattle “protesters” as wonderful, sweet and innocent people just out for a little stroll. Actually, they are sick and deranged Anarchists & Agitators who our great men & women of Law Enforcement easily control, but who… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 28, 2020
….would destroy our American cities, and worse, if Sleepy Joe Biden, the puppet of the Left, ever won. Markets would crash and cities would burn. Our Country would suffer like never before. We will beat the Virus, soon, and go on to the Golden Age – better than ever before! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 28, 2020
Just as conservatives once fear mongered around the Civil Rights protests in the 1960s, Trump has beat the drum about “anarchists” and “rioters” for weeks. With little else to brag about since the coronavirus epidemic is spinning out of control once again and millions of new unemployment claims have been filed, Trump has bragged about sending federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security into Portland, Oregon and now other cities to brutalize peaceful protesters along with the handful of people causing trouble.
Trump’s complaints about Twitter while Americans suffer a plunging economy and a rocketing virus spread is just par for the Trump administration course. His endless whining about being “censored” by social media when he doesn’t get the crowd reactions he wants misses a broader point: the majority of people just do not like him.
As for Trump’s “make America great again” slogan, it’s really lost all of its meaning. Trump has been in office for nearly four years after promising to make America great again, so are we making American great again again or did he not live up to his promises the first time? Most voters would take that second option.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-27--Trump Has Literally Delusional Poll Result Meltdown During Pres Conference

Sometimes it ’ s impossible to know whether Donald Trump knows he ’ s lying and is just hoping his supporters aren ’ t smart enough to catch him or if he actually believes his own lies .
With dismal poll numbers showing Biden ahead in some estimations by as much as 15 points .
On average across polls , Trump is losing by more than nine points .
At a press conference on the coronavirus , Trump was asked by a reporter about his falling poll numbers , which have continued to decline as COVID-19 surges across states .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ what his real numbers are , spoke positively about his poll numbers just 99 days ahead of the elections .
‘ I think the polls numbers are very good .
The poll numbers we have are very good .
We ’ re leading in North Carolina , we ’ re leading in Pennsylvania , we ’ re leading in Arizona , our numbers , we ’ re leading in Arizona , we ’ re leading nicely in Florida .
I think our poll numbers are very good.
’ Completely ignoring the fact that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by a wide margin , Trump insisted that those are just “ fake suppression polls , ” just as he claimed in 2016 .
Although those polls showed him losing to Hillary Clinton and were wrong about the results , they were accurate as far as popular vote numbers .
For Biden , however , his lead in swing states is far higher and his lead has reached levels that Clinton ’ s never did .
Trump somehow tried to explain his logic that his poll numbers are great by saying that boats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flying Trump/Pence flags and bikers like him .
‘ When you look at Florida as an example , you have thousands of boats out on the ocean , out on the intercoastal .
You look at other states , where likewise , you have thousands of boats and they ’ re all waving the Trump sign , the Trump/Pence sign , and they ’ re so proud…Thousands and thousands and you ’ ve seen it , where you have Bikers for Trump with lines that are miles long on highways .

bipartisanreport--2020-07-27--Tuesday Testimony Under Oath At Congress Uncovers Trump/Barr Corruption

On Tuesday , Congress is set to hear testimony from Iraq veteran and major in the U.S. National Guard Adam DeMarco on the events of June 1 , 2020 when the National Guard violently dispersed peaceful protesters so that Donald Trump could have a photo-op in front of a church that was damaged the previous night .
DeMarco says most of the information coming from Attorney General William Barr and the Trump administration has been false and is planning to set the record straight .
DeMarco said the plan was to disperse the crowd of protesters exercising their First Amendment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the protesters he encountered on June 1 were peaceful and causing no problems .
However , that plan was sped up by a few hours for reasons that were not fully explained and that warnings to the crowds of protesters to disperse were unable to be heard .
‘ DeMarco backs up law enforcement officials who told The Washington Post they believed the clearing operation would happen after the 7 p.m. curfew that night — but it was dramatically accelerated after Attorney General William P. Barr and others appeared in the park @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operation was conducted so that a fence might be erected around the park .
DeMarco said the fencing materials did not arrive until 9 p.m. — hours after Barr told the Park Police to expand the perimeter — and the fence wasn ’ t built until later that night.
’ Although Barr and the Trump administration insist that violent anarchists and looters were on a rampage , requiring the use of force to restore order , DeMarco says that wasn ’ t his experience .
After being advised by Gen. Mark A. Milley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Staff , to ensure that the National Guardsman remained calm and did not use an excessive amount of force , protesters were hit with excessive force anyway in an attempt to clear the area just prior to Trump ’ s walk across Lafayette Square for a photo-op in front of a church , holding a Bible upside-down .
‘ DeMarco said he was coming forward “ to help ensure that there is a fair factual record of what happened at Lafayette Square , based on what I saw and experienced first-hand.
” He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combat zone and having experience in assessing threats , “ at no time did I feel threatened by the protesters or assess them to be violent … From my observation , these demonstrators — our fellow American citizens — were engaged in the peaceful expression of their First Amendment rights .
Yet they were subjected to an unprovoked escalation and excessive use of force.
” ’ Another lie , according to DeMarco , is claims by Barr and the Trump administration that no tear gas was used against the protesters .
DeMarco says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it in his eyes and recognized the effects of tear gas , and that canisters of tear gas were left behind following the incident .
‘ As the federal and local police waded into the protesters , DeMarco said he saw smoke being used and that he was told by a Park Police officer it was “ stage smoke , ” not tear gas .
But DeMarco said , “ I could feel irritation in my eyes and nose , and based on my previous exposure to tear gas in my training at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ training , I recognized that irritation as effects consistent with CS or ‘ tear gas.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-27--Susan Collins Defies Republicans To Announce Vote Against Trump Pick

Amazingly , President Donald Trump has nominated someone for the Federal Reserve Board who once questioned whether the U.S. central bank should exist in the first place .
In a 2009 Wall Street Journal article , Trump nominee Judy Shelton asked why “ we need a central bank , ” but more recently , the Republican-led Senate Banking Committee approved her nomination to the Federal Reserve Board and set it up for a vote by the full Senate .
A second Republican Senator — Maine ’ s Susan Collins — has now announced their opposition to Shelton ’ s nomination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nomination makes it to a full Senate vote .
Utah ’ s Republican Senator Mitt Romney had previously announced his opposition to Shelton .
‘ I have serious concerns about this nomination .

This is not the right signal to send , particularly in the midst of the pandemic , and for that reason , I intend to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the floor.
’ In light of the current party distribution in the Senate , two more Republican Senators would have to announce their opposition to Shelton to block her nomination .
It ’ s not unheard of — when Trump announced plans to nominate the inexperienced businessman Herman Cain to the same board , four Republican Senators announced their opposition , and Cain ’ s nomination did not go through .
Meanwhile , as Obama-era Treasury Department official Steven Rattner explained in a piece for The New York Times , Shelton ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reserve Board amidst the earliest parts of the Coronavirus outbreak could have been disastrous .
As Rattner explained : ‘ Her view that interest rates should be “ rules based ” would have prevented the central bank ’ s emergency cuts .
Her past opposition to the Fed buying bonds to help stimulate the economy — as it did successfully during the 2008 financial crisis — would have prevented the central bank from standing up many of the rescue programs that are now helping to keep the economy afloat .
Her notion that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than act independently… would have introduced damaging delays , politics and , likely , policy misfires as ill-equipped members of Congress tried to grapple with the intricacies of monetary policy.
’ While opposing Shelton , Collins might be worrying about her own political prospects .
Democratic Senate nominee Sara Gideon currently leads Collins in polls by an average of 2.5 percent .

Democrats have stood ready to negotiate for more than two months. I call upon GOP congressional leaders & the President’s team to join Leader Schumer & me within a half an hour of releasing their plan today to negotiate and get the job done.’

Over two months ago, the Democrat-led House passed the HEROES Act, which included economic relief for multiple sectors of society and the economy that was meant to help Americans weather the pandemic and its associated economic crises. The GOP-led Senate has refused to take up the legislation, even as the clock has ticked on fundamental relief measures like the $600 a week that has been added on to unemployment benefits across the nation amidst the pandemic, which has left millions without work. That $600 a week is expiring at the end of July, and now, Senate Republicans reportedly want to decrease the add-on to a meager $200 a week — while they, of course, keep raking in their big salaries.
NEW: Senate Republicans want to cut unemployment benefits for 30 million Americans by $400 a week. This CANNOT stand. The House passed the HEROES Act 73 days ago, and THIS is what Senate Republicans have delayed to propose?https://t.co/DNFABajLVo — Sherrod Brown (@SenSherrodBrown) July 27, 2020
Recently, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has complained about the possibility of using taxpayer money to financially support unemployed Americans amidst the pandemic. Those unemployed Americans are taxpayers too!
What Mnuchin meant: I (Mnuchin) am not going to use taxpayer money to help taxpayers, that money is for the continued consolidation of wealth and power at the top. https://t.co/A6xmzZcLLi — Gregg Housh (@GreggHoush) July 26, 2020

At one point in the press conference, Trump made it clear why Fauci is no longer invited to speak. He can’t stand that people like Fauci more than him.

Watching @realDonaldTrump's covid press conference where he listed the "tremendous" strides his adminstration has made against the virus.

Trump also spent a great deal of time discussing the economy, his jobs numbers, the “accomplishments” he’s made, and how the economic recovery, which has not yet begun because the virus is not over, has been “tremendous” and like “nothing anybody has ever seen before.” Apparently, he wasn’t around for Obama’s second term, when a real economic recovery happened, or he just doesn’t like to think about that.
At his “news conference” Trump claims he revived our industrial base. Not true. It has continued to shrink during his administration. He’s also taking credit for the work of other people, all while bad-mouthing China, as he continues to disintegrate, hopefully into thin air. — TRB Jones (@TrbLind) July 28, 2020

Twitter penalizes Donald Trump Jr. for posting hydroxychloroquine misinformation amid coronavirus pandemic https://t.co/nOOlIsWLu8 — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) July 28, 2020
The video purported to show a doctor on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic who declared that a cure for the virus – hydroxychloroquine – has been found and enemies of the president who cannot stand for him to be right have suppressed use of the drug. Right-wing accounts on Twitter and Facebook lit up, including President Trump’s, with retweets and crowing about the president’s brilliance in having identified the drug as an effective treatment from the beginning.
‘Trump shared the video — which claims that face masks and shutdowns are not needed to stop the spread of the virus — as he shared 14 tweets over a half-hour span defending the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug that the president has repeatedly promoted, and attacking Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert.’
What the video did not show is Dr. Immanuel discussing her beliefs that “sexual visitations by demons and alien DNA are at the root of Americans’ common health concerns.” In other words, the woman is not any kind of doctor that a gravely ill COVID patient would want anywhere near them.
‘A Houston doctor who praises hydroxychloroquine and says that face masks aren’t necessary to stop transmission of the highly contagious coronavirus has become a star on the right-wing internet, garnering tens of millions of views on Facebook on Monday alone. Donald Trump Jr. declared the video of Stella Immanuel a “must watch,” while Donald Trump himself retweeted the video…In her speech, Immanuel alleges that she has successfully treated hundreds of patients with hydroxychloroquine, a controversial treatment Trump has promoted and says he has taken himself. Studies have failed to find proof that the drug has any benefit in treating COVID-19, and the Food and Drug Administration in June revoked its emergency authorization to use it to treat the deadly virus, saying it hadn’t demonstrated any effect on patients’ mortality prospects.’

bipartisanreport--2020-07-28--Mitch McConnell Snubs Trump Over COVID Bill With Tuesday Rebuff

As members of Congress continue to negotiate over the provisions of a planned Coronavirus relief bill , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) has indicated that he wants to see one particularly controversial provision — money to construct a new FBI headquarters in D.C. — taken out of the bill .
According to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby ( R-Ala. ) , the FBI building money was initially included in the Senate GOP ’ s Coronavirus relief package at the direct request of the Trump administration .
Democratic leaders have been concerned that the inclusion was motivated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — the D.C. headquarters of the FBI is adjacent to Trump ’ s D.C. hotel , and keeping the FBI in the spot could prevent a competing hotel from going up that could affect Trump ’ s business .
The money designated for the FBI building in the original Coronavirus relief legislation stands at $ 1.75 billion .
Meanwhile , on Tuesday , after a meeting between Republican Senators , Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin , and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows , McConnell told reporters : ‘ I am opposed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funding for the FBI building or , for example , in the House bill , whether it ’ s a tax cut for high-income earners in blue states or other non-germane amendments in the House bill like marijuana studies or aid to illegal immigrants .
When we get to the end of the process , I would hope all of the non-COVID-related measures are out , no matter what bill they were in at the start.
’ To be clear — financial support for undocumented immigrants is not unrelated to the Coronavirus crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They ’ re not magically spared from the effects of the pandemic just because of their undocumented status .
Still , McConnell ’ s break with the White House over including money for the FBI building is notable , and it represents a potential point of contention as negotiations proceed .
Mnuchin only gave a vague answer when reporters asked him after the Tuesday lunch whether the FBI building money would stay in the bill .
He commented : House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) is among those who have been blunt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money ever getting included in the first place .
After a Monday meeting with Mnuchin , she exclaimed to reporters : Schumer told reporters on the same day : While Republicans in Congress haggle over whether or not to include a huge sum of money that could financially benefit the president , Americans are struggling .
A $ 600 a week add-on to unemployment benefits is expiring at the end of July , while observers estimate that millions of Americans across the country are facing possible eviction amidst the pandemic-related economic upheaval .

As members of Congress continue to negotiate over the provisions of a planned Coronavirus relief bill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has indicated that he wants to see one particularly controversial provision — money to construct a new FBI headquarters in D.C. — taken out of the bill. According to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the FBI building money was initially included in the Senate GOP’s Coronavirus relief package at the direct request of the Trump administration. Democratic leaders have been concerned that the inclusion was motivated by potential financial gain for the president — the D.C. headquarters of the FBI is adjacent to Trump’s D.C. hotel, and keeping the FBI in the spot could prevent a competing hotel from going up that could affect Trump’s business.
Before Trump was elected, officials at his company feared a competing hotel if the FBI moved its headquarters. Now Trump is trying to get money in the coronavirus relief bill to keep the FBI building where it is – and keep away any competitors. https://t.co/zNGFNDLDME — Dan Eggen (@DanEggenWPost) July 27, 2020
The money designated for the FBI building in the original Coronavirus relief legislation stands at $1.75 billion. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, after a meeting between Republican Senators, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, McConnell told reporters:

When we get to the end of the process, I would hope all of the non-COVID-related measures are out, no matter what bill they were in at the start.’
GOP Sen. Ron Johnson to me on WH demand for $1.75B for new FBI building in DC. “I just don't understand it. That struck me as pretty strange. I heard about it, maybe they got some rationale for it. I wonder why that would be something they insist on in this package is beyond me” — Manu Raju (@mkraju) July 28, 2020
To be clear — financial support for undocumented immigrants is not unrelated to the Coronavirus crisis, despite McConnell’s claims. They’re not magically spared from the effects of the pandemic just because of their undocumented status. Still, McConnell’s break with the White House over including money for the FBI building is notable, and it represents a potential point of contention as negotiations proceed.
“I’m not sure that it is, is it?” McConnell said when asked why money for the FBI building is in GOP recovery bill. Asked later about the $1.75B for the building, McConnell said it was an admin demand. “They’ll have to answer the question on why they insisted on that provision” — Manu Raju (@mkraju) July 27, 2020
Mnuchin only gave a vague answer when reporters asked him after the Tuesday lunch whether the FBI building money would stay in the bill. He commented:
‘We’re looking at everything in the bill.’
The Republican coronavirus stimulus proposal includes $1.75 billion in funds for the design and construction of a new FBI headquarters at the request of the Trump administration. https://t.co/pzXs8IkKu9 — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 28, 2020
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is among those who have been blunt in their condemnations of the FBI building money ever getting included in the first place. After a Monday meeting with Mnuchin, she exclaimed to reporters:
‘They don’t have money for food stamps, but they have money for an FBI building just so that they can diminish competition for the president’s hotel.’
Senate Republicans snuck into their COVID proposal nearly $2B in taxpayer funds for a new FBI building whose location will increase the value of the Trump hotel. That’s right.

Schumer told reporters on the same day:
‘They managed to have enough money for $2 billion for the FBI headquarters that benefits Trump hotel, and they say they have no money for food assistance. What the heck is going on?.. We just found out [the FBI building money] was in [the bill] as we read it.’

Donald Trump is having a tough time in the polls , even in states so red they almost burn .
Former Vice President Joe Biden has been leading in some of these states by double digits .
The real question is why has POTUS dropped so far down in these polls ?

Perhaps , they think they should be angry , if only for the reason that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ POTUS ’ problem is that this president has very thin skin .
He spends up to eight hours a day watching TV , so it is no surprise that he sees the political ads against him just like other Americans .
Trump started out his day tweeting an insult at the Democrats : ‘ Big Pharma is taking television ads trying to make the case that I am raising prescription drug prices on seniors .
The ad is a lie !
What I have done will lead to a 50 % REDUCTION in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pharma is not happy about it .
No other President would….

In their dog-whistle attempts to appeal to a racist base of voters , Republicans have used what GOP campaign strategist Lee Atwater once referred to as the “ Southern Strategy.
” According to Atwater , as long as GOP candidates didn ’ t use the n-word , they could use hidden code words to stoke fear of black Americans , such as through a “ tough on crime ” narrative .
That strategy is still alive and well in the GOP , as has been seen recently through cherry-picked images of protesters purported to be Black Lives Matter demonstrators burning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is blatant antisemitism .

RETWEET if you support @ossoff as he runs to turn Georgia Blue and flip the U.S. Senate! pic.twitter.com/zkcpil5rS6 — Protect Robert Mueller ✊ (@DisavowTrump20) July 22, 2020
Ossoff responded to the ad, saying that the tactic was not new or original to Perdue’s campaign, but an old trope used to stoke fear of and dehumanize Jewish people. Perdue has since removed the ads from social media platforms.
‘Sitting U.S. Senator David Perdue’s digital attack ad distorted my face to enlarge and extend my nose. I’m Jewish. This is the oldest, most obvious, least original anti-Semitic trope in history.’
Republican Sen. Perdue of Georgia has taken down a digital campaign ad featuring a manipulated picture of his Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff, who is Jewish, with an enlarged nose. https://t.co/wnWIwvLY7r — NBC News (@NBCNews) July 28, 2020
Perdue’s campaign responded by saying that they had removed the ad because the appearance of Ossoff’s nose was an inadvertent mistake made by “an outsider vendor” who created the ad. No mention of why two Jewish political figures were featured with a tagline that included those Jewish people “buying” an election.


bipartisanreport--2020-07-28--Barr Told To Keep John Lewis’ Name Out Of His Mouth During Tense Exchange

On Tuesday , Attorney General Bill Barr appeared before the House Judiciary Committee .
It did not go well .
At one point , Rep. Hank Johnson ( D-Ga. ) confronted Barr over the fact that he had lowered the sentencing recommendation for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and thereby carried out the political will of the president .
Barr refused to admit this fact — he tried to claim that his team ’ s decision to lower the government ’ s sentencing recommendation for Stone had nothing to do with what the president wanted , but that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted a better path for Stone .
Barr got vehement in his attempt to convince Johnson and observers of his take .
In his initial questioning , Johnson posed the query to Barr : In response , Barr claimed that “ no , ” Johnson ’ s account of the situation was not correct .
Although Johnson was fed up with Barr ’ s stonewalling and tried to pressure him into offering straightforward answers , part of what Barr seems to have been getting at is that — according to him — the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s sentencing recommendation before Trump publicly commented about the issue .
Yet , they apparently only filed their updated recommendation after Trump ’ s comments — to suggest that the Department of Justice acted in some kind of vacuum is ridiculous .
At one point , Barr vehemently insisted to Johnson that he was “ telling [ his ] story , ” but Johnson said that he didn ’ t want to hear the attorney general ’ s “ story ” — he wanted answers .
‘ I had not discussed my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House or anyone outside the department… let me ask you !
Do you think it is fair for a 67-year-old to be sent to prison for 7 to 9 years ?
’ Was it “ fair ” for Stone to carry out the crimes that sparked the sentence in the first place ?
Besides — Barr can pretend like some kind of altruism underpinned the sentencing recommendation update , but the fact is that the person who actually got the special treatment was Trump ’ s ally .
Barr got confronted over his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
At one point , Rep. Cedric Richmond ( D-La . )
, commented : Throughout much of the hearing , Republicans like Rep. Jim Jordan ( R-Ohio ) stewed in the background .

On Tuesday, Attorney General Bill Barr appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. It did not go well. At one point, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) confronted Barr over the fact that he had lowered the sentencing recommendation for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and thereby carried out the political will of the president. Barr refused to admit this fact — he tried to claim that his team’s decision to lower the government’s sentencing recommendation for Stone had nothing to do with what the president wanted, but that’s just not true. The president clearly wanted a better path for Stone. Barr got vehement in his attempt to convince Johnson and observers of his take.
In his initial questioning, Johnson posed the query to Barr:
‘Isn’t it true when prosecutors in the Roger Stone case filed a memo recommending a sentence of 7 to 9 years in prison, a few hours later, President Trump tweeted that the sentence recommendation was — quote — a disgrace? You’re aware of that?’
After Barr replied with a simple “yes,” Johnson continued:
‘And several hours after that, you filed a pleading with the court stating that the sentence recommendation should be changed and you would be asking for a lighter sentence for Roger Stone?’
In response, Barr claimed that “no,” Johnson’s account of the situation was not correct.
Although Johnson was fed up with Barr’s stonewalling and tried to pressure him into offering straightforward answers, part of what Barr seems to have been getting at is that — according to him — the department made the decision to lower Stone’s sentencing recommendation before Trump publicly commented about the issue. Yet, they apparently only filed their updated recommendation after Trump’s comments — to suggest that the Department of Justice acted in some kind of vacuum is ridiculous.
At one point, Barr vehemently insisted to Johnson that he was “telling [his] story,” but Johnson said that he didn’t want to hear the attorney general’s “story” — he wanted answers.
Eventually, Johnson added, addressing Barr directly:
‘You’re expecting the American people to believe that you did not do what Trump wanted you to do when you changed that sentencing recommendation and lowered it for Roger Stone? You think the American people don’t understand that you were carrying out Trump’s will?’
Barr retorted:
‘I had not discussed my sentencing recommendation with anyone at the White House or anyone outside the department… let me ask you! Do you think it is fair for a 67-year-old to be sent to prison for 7 to 9 years?’
Was it “fair” for Stone to carry out the crimes that sparked the sentence in the first place? Besides — Barr can pretend like some kind of altruism underpinned the sentencing recommendation update, but the fact is that the person who actually got the special treatment was Trump’s ally.
Watch Barr’s exchanges with Johnson below:
Barr got confronted over his nonsense at other points during the hearing. At one point, Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.), commented:
‘I would just suggest that actions speak louder than words and that you really should keep the name of the Honorable John Lewis out of the Department of Justice’s mouth.’
Throughout much of the hearing, Republicans like Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) stewed in the background.

Barr finally agreed to appear before the House’s Judicial Committee. When he showed up, the committee Chair Jerry (Jerrold) Nadler let him have it right between the eyes:
‘Congress established the Department of Justice to enforce the nation’s first civil rights laws after the Civil War. From that moment on, it became the department’s responsibility to ensure the right to vote and to stem the tide of systemic racism.
Nadler went ahead and chewed on the Barr for having “fallen short of…promises:”
Now, not every attorney general in the intervening 150 years has given full expression to these two goals. I am certain that every administration has fallen short of those promises in some way over time.’
Then, Nadler said that the attorney general (AG) and Trump “lost sight of the importance of Civil Rights Laws:”
‘But today, under your leadership, sir, these two objectives are more at risk than at any time in modern history.

He needed help. After he finished utterly humiliating his first attorney general, he found you. In your time at the department, you have aided and abetted the worst failing of the president.’
Nadler continued, saying Trump “has twisted the Department of Justice:”
‘This administration has twisted the Department of Justice into a shadow of its former self, capable of serving most Americans only after it has first served those in power. This committee has responsibility to protect Americans from that kind of corruption, Mr. Barr.’

bipartisanreport--2020-07-28--Bill Barr Brazenly Blames Obama For COVID-19 Failure During Testimony

At the time of this writing , Donald Trump has been president for 3 years , 190 days , 1 hour 55 minutes and 30 seconds .
It ’ s important to remember that timeline when discussing remarks made by Trump attorney general in a congressional hearing in which he was asked about Donald Trump ’ s response to the COVID-19 pandemic .
In a response clearly endorsed by Trump himself , William Barr actually said that the response to the COVID-19 pandemic , specifically around the slow start and chaotic implementation of testing for the virus , is President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he mishandled the CDC and Trump hasn ’ t had enough time to fix it by now .
In truth , President Obama ’ s administration left a 69-page playbook for the Trump administration on how to deal with a pandemic .
That playbook was ignored .
Obama also created a task force to deal with epidemics and pandemics in the United States .
Trump dismantled that task force .
Both of those things were done years ago , and Trump has every right not to use them if he disagrees with them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them with anything in 3 years , 190 days , 1 hour 55 minutes and 30 seconds of his presidency .
But it ’ s Obama ’ s fault that 150,000 Americans are dead under the presidency of Donald Trump ?
Of course , it couldn ’ t have been the entire month after being briefed on the pandemic that Trump did nothing to blame .
It can ’ t have been Trump ’ s downplaying of the virus , calling warnings a “ hoax , ” or attacking preeminent virologist Dr. Anthony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
None of those are to blame .
