The Republican Party hung all their hopes for a new wave of power on a derange TV reality show host and have felt the crushing effects of that decision ever since .
In 2018 , Democrats dominated at the polls , flipping 40 seats and retaking the House of Representatives .

The GOP dominates the Senate with just three seats above having a majority , but several Republican senators , and very well-known ones , are underwater in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Collins ( R-ME ) , who is losing by five points in the polls against her challenger , Sara Gideon .
One right-wing commentator for the Bangor Daily News said : ‘ While no one should ever underestimate Susan Collins , the trend in the last few public polls is certainly in the wrong direction for those of us who want to see her re-elected .

Just four months out from the November 2020 elections, Republicans may be poised to lose the Senate, as well.
The latest poll out shows Democrat @SaraGideon up 9 points on Susan Collins in Maine. Collins was reportedly "very concerned" and "quite troubled" about the survey. But polls don't vote – help us #FlipTheSenate here 👇https://t.co/6iBijj3IY6 — Democratic Coalition (@TheDemCoalition) June 4, 2020
The GOP dominates the Senate with just three seats above having a majority, but several Republican senators, and very well-known ones, are underwater in the polls. The first is Susan Collins (R-ME), who is losing by five points in the polls against her challenger, Sara Gideon.
One right-wing commentator for the Bangor Daily News said:
‘While no one should ever underestimate Susan Collins, the trend in the last few public polls is certainly in the wrong direction for those of us who want to see her re-elected. In March we saw a poll that showed her down 4 points. Two months later, she is now down 9.’
Collins’ political troubles began with her decision to confirm credibly accused attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh to the U. S. Supreme Court. In an utterly ridiculous attempt to pander to women voters who protested his confirmation, Collins insisted that she believed his accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, she was pretty sure that there was a case of mistaken identity, that someone besides Kavanaugh had attempted to assault Ford. Women did not buy that argument.
According to POLITICO:
‘Collins’ reputation has taken a conspicuously harsh hit. In 2015, after winning reelection with about 70 percent of the vote, she was considered one of America’s most beloved senators. Today, she is the most reviled, derided for her increasingly lockstep party-line votes and for the often belabored manner in which she has justified herself.’
The woman who was once a real favorite among her New England voting base is struggling and she has only herself and the president to blame. Collins could have either been a voice for change in the GOP or a Trump panderer who backed him out of fear that she would take a hit with voters.
Her decision between those two things does not appear to be working out well for her.

President Donald Trump is still facing the fallout from a recent report in The Atlantic that revealed that he’d apparently referred to American service members who were killed in action as “losers” and “suckers.” Other details in that same report include the allegation that Trump was enraged when flags were lowered to half-staff at federal buildings after the death of John McCain — a detail which was publicly confirmed, on the record, by Miles Taylor, who served for awhile in the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security. Trump and his allies have pushed back against the core allegations, but as a new ad from the anti-Trump group known as The Lincoln Project makes clear, Trump has an established history of a tumultuous relationship with military families.
The Lincoln Project insists that Trump “doesn’t protect them,” “doesn’t respect them,” and is a “disgrace.” As their new video recounts, Trump has even refused to take seriously a report that Russia had placed bounties on U.S. troops, offering rewards if Afghan fighters killed them. Shouldn’t a president want to at least seriously vet any allegation along those lines? Trump hasn’t — he’s self-confidently declared the whole thing to be a hoax, seemingly obsessing over the potential impact on his public image, like always.

It is the theory behind some trainings against racism in the workplace, on school campuses, and within police departments.

Goldberg’s publication recently released a story that alleged that Trump had called American service members who were killed in action “losers” and “suckers.” The same story alleged that Trump had been enraged after flags were lowered to half-staff at federal buildings after the death of John McCain — a detail confirmed by former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor. Trump has flipped out over the report, but Goldberg and The Atlantic stand by it.
On Sunday, Goldberg said the following on CNN:
‘I would fully expect more reporting to come out about this and more confirmation and new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks. We have a responsibility and we’re going to do it regardless of what he says.’
The Atlantic has faced steep criticism in part over their reliance on anonymous sources for the story about Trump’s comments. It’s worth noting — it’s not as though these sources are anonymous to the people responsible for the story itself. The journalists behind the story are simply keeping the sources’ identities hidden in part thanks to the steep culture of intimidation and retaliation that Trump himself has cultivated. Like clockwork, when people who’ve served in his administration have come out against him, Trump has publicly melted down and thrown them under the metaphorical bus.
Goldberg noted:
‘We all have to use anonymous sources, especially in a climate where the president of the United States tries to actively intimidate. These are not people who are anonymous to me.’
Trump has in the past even committed what some observers have characterized as witness intimidation. For instance, shortly after he fired James Comey from his post as FBI Director, Trump belligerently tweeted that Comey “better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.” There were no tapes — Trump admitted that himself. Investigative reporter Carl Bernstein noted on the same CNN show as Goldberg that with Trump in office, “reporting is almost uniformly based on anonymous sourcing in part because that’s the only way we can get to the truth.”

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, however, may be one of those Trump appointees who lands himself in court or even jail if recent reporting is true.

While there is no crime in encouraging workers to vote or even encouraging them to vote for particular candidates, but rewarding them for doing so, in essence reimbursing them for their donations, is absolutely against the law.
According to The Washington Post:
‘Louis DeJoy’s prolific campaign fundraising, which helped position him as a top Republican power broker in North Carolina and ultimately as head of the U.S. Postal Service, was bolstered for more than a decade by a practice that left many employees feeling pressured to make political contributions to GOP candidates — money DeJoy later reimbursed through bonuses, former employees say.’
Ex-employees of U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s former company reportedly say they were pressured to make political donations and then reimbursed with bigger bonuses https://t.co/USI1Hb52Fa — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) September 6, 2020
Employees say that it was their donations that supported Dejoy’s rise to a top RNC contributor, eventually gaining him notice by President Trump, who appointed him to the top position in the United States Postal Services despite the conflict of interest involved in his business, who competes with the USPS.
‘Five people who worked for DeJoy’s former business, New Breed Logistics, say they were urged by DeJoy’s aides or by the chief executive himself to write checks and attend fundraisers at his 15,000-square-foot gated mansion beside a Greensboro, N.C., country club. There, events for Republicans running for the White House and Congress routinely fetched $100,000 or more apiece.
‘Two other employees familiar with New Breed’s financial and payroll systems said DeJoy would instruct that bonus payments to staffers be boosted to help defray the cost of their contributions, an arrangement that would be unlawful.’
On Friday evening of a holiday weekend, the government turned over documents to CREW showing USPS had a plan for full staffing to ensure voting by mail was safe during the pandemic. Then Louis DeJoy came in and changed things. https://t.co/59EB7fovf1 — Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) September 6, 2020
Should these allegations prove true and brought into a court of law, Dejoy may be joining Trump very soon in a campaign to avoid being investigated and prosecuted. Employees of Dejoy’s say that there isn’t much he won’t stoop to in his pursuit of power.
‘A Washington Post analysis of federal and state campaign finance records found a pattern of extensive donations by New Breed employees to Republican candidates, with the same amount often given by multiple people on the same day.

Many had not previously made political donations, and have not made any since leaving the company, public records show. During the same period, nine employees gave a combined $700 to Democrats.’
Louis DeJoy is a walking conflict of interest who is unqualified to lead one of our country’s most popular and important agencies. The Board of Governors must remove DeJoy and reverse the damaging policies he’s enacted.https://t.co/iGqxIHL9SR — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) September 4, 2020

Amidst the Trump administration ’ s consistent push to undercut immigration to the United States and use just about every excuse at its disposal to do , the Obama-appointed federal Judge Amit Mehta has ordered the Trump team to resume processing visa applications from winners of the diversity visa lottery .

The excuse that the president employed was an attempt to protect the struggling American economy from an influx of foreign workers , although it ’ s unclear what effect that the visa recipients would have even had in the domestic job market .
A key issue at stake is that if lottery winners don ’ t have their visas issued by September 30 , then they lose their chance , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : ‘ To be clear , there is no statutory requirement that every available diversity visa be issued each year .
But that does not mean that the State Department could effectively extinguish the diversity program for a given year by simply sitting on its hands and letting all pending diversity visa applications time out.
’ Trump has claimed that the diversity visa program brings “ the worst of the worst ” to the United States .
The program serves many African countries , so racist undertones seem pretty clear .
Mehta countered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recipients , saying : ‘ Diversity visa lottery winners are people who have come to this nation , like millions before , to seek a better life for themselves and their families , and to pursue the American Dream .
They do not deserve to be caricatured as common criminals , or to be used as a political wedge issue.
’ Diversity visas aren ’ t the only ones that were included in Trump ’ s suspension of many types of visas through the end of the year .
Visas for immigrant family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ workers were also affected , but Mehta declined to take up questions regarding those categories .
He ’ s also so far declined to extend the September 30 deadline for processing diversity visas — but he did schedule a hearing for September 25 to deal with potential further action .

Amidst the Trump administration’s consistent push to undercut immigration to the United States and use just about every excuse at its disposal to do, the Obama-appointed federal Judge Amit Mehta has ordered the Trump team to resume processing visa applications from winners of the diversity visa lottery. The diversity visa program includes up to 55,000 visas a year that are distributed to the members of a large group of visa applicants from countries whose residents are generally underrepresented in the U.S. and in immigrant pools. The visa recipients are selected via lottery from that larger group.
The Trump administration had abruptly stopped processing the cases of many of the folks who won this year’s lottery as the Coronavirus pandemic set in. The excuse that the president employed was an attempt to protect the struggling American economy from an influx of foreign workers, although it’s unclear what effect that the visa recipients would have even had in the domestic job market.
A key issue at stake is that if lottery winners don’t have their visas issued by September 30, then they lose their chance, under current legislation. Judge Mehta said:
‘To be clear, there is no statutory requirement that every available diversity visa be issued each year. But that does not mean that the State Department could effectively extinguish the diversity program for a given year by simply sitting on its hands and letting all pending diversity visa applications time out.’
Trump has claimed that the diversity visa program brings “the worst of the worst” to the United States. The program serves many African countries, so racist undertones seem pretty clear. Mehta countered Trump’s assertion about the visa recipients, saying:
‘Diversity visa lottery winners are people who have come to this nation, like millions before, to seek a better life for themselves and their families, and to pursue the American Dream. They do not deserve to be caricatured as common criminals, or to be used as a political wedge issue.’
Diversity visas aren’t the only ones that were included in Trump’s suspension of many types of visas through the end of the year. Visas for immigrant family members, high-tech workers, and seasonal workers were also affected, but Mehta declined to take up questions regarding those categories. He’s also so far declined to extend the September 30 deadline for processing diversity visas — but he did schedule a hearing for September 25 to deal with potential further action.

In a normal time, in a normal presidency, a tell-all book released by a former attorney detailing the corruption, racism, and crimes of an incumbent president running for re-election would be a jaw-dropping scandal. In the time of Donald Trump, none of the revelations are all that surprising. It all fits with what the country already knew about its 45th president.
NEW: @PostRoz and I got our hands on Michael Cohen’s new book, where he claims Trump called all countries run by Black people “shitholes,” and dismisses — in racist ways — both Obama and Nelson Mandela. https://t.co/hDrGt57NXl pic.twitter.com/d25OQnvzVi — Ashley Parker (@AshleyRParker) September 6, 2020
In Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump, former attorney and “fixer” for Trump the businessman and the president Michael Cohen details the deep corruption within the Trump Organization, the Trump campaign, and the president himself. He refers to Trump’s inner circle as mafia-like and details racist beliefs held by the current leader of the free world on an astonishing scale.
According to The Washington Post:
‘Cohen lays out an alarming portrait of the constellation of characters orbiting around Trump, likening the arrangement to the mafia and calling himself “one of Trump’s bad guys.” He describes the president, meanwhile, as “a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.”
‘The memoir also describes episodes of Trump’s alleged racism and his “hatred and contempt” of his predecessor, Barack Obama, the nation’s only African American president.’
“Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump allegedly said: ‘Can you believe that bulls–t? Can you believe people believe that bulls–t?’” https://t.co/yALbGFt0BU — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) September 6, 2020
Cohen also describes the president’s admiration of Russian oligarch and strongman Vladimir Putin, which began well before he decided to run for president. The explanation for that admiration, according to Cohen, is quite simple.
‘On Russia, Cohen writes that the cause behind Trump’s admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin is simpler than many of his critics assume. Above all, he writes, Trump loves money — and he wrongly identified Putin as “the richest man in the world by a multiple.”
‘Trump loved Putin, Cohen wrote, because the Russian leader had the ability “to take over an entire nation and run it like it was his personal company — like the Trump Organization, in fact.”’

Trump’s feelings about people of color in the United States, particularly considering the amount of power Trump now holds, were the most disturbing details of Cohen’s tell-all. He believes that people of color are just “too stupid” to know what’s good for them politically and prefers to play to racists because they, at least, get him.
‘Cohen writes that during the 2016 campaign, Trump was dismissive of minorities, describing them as “not my people.” “I will never get the Hispanic vote,” Cohen recounts Trump claiming. “Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump.”
‘Cohen describes Trump’s obsessive hatred of Obama, including claiming that the only reason the former president got into Columbia University and Harvard Law School was because of “f—ing affirmative action.” He also recounts Trump’s “low opinion of all black folks.” claiming that Trump once said while ranting about Obama, “Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a s—hole.

Donald Trump jails his “enemies.” Take his former personal attorney Michael Cohen. He was found guilty of multiple charges and served much of his sentence in federal prison. After his release, Attorney General William Barr ordered him picked up from house arrest and put back in prison. After 15 years as the man who would be king’s fixer, Cohen knows Trump well as “a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.”
The president’s former attorney’s long-awaited book, which he wrote while serving a sentence in federal prison, is out Tuesday. It is titled Disloyal, A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump.
In a statement to The Washington Post, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said:
‘Michael Cohen is a disgraced felon and disbarred lawyer, who lied to Congress. He has lost all credibility, and it’s unsurprising to see his latest attempt to profit off of lies.’
In his book, the fixer “acknowledges and apologizes” for the part he played with the president, according to CNN:
‘[He was] more than willing to lie, cheat, and bully.’
Cohen’s service gave him an open window into who Trump really was. Perhaps, the attorney’s greatest fear was that Trump would not go willingly from the White House. The writer said he was most afraid that POTUS would do anything to stay in power, including starting a war:
‘I became even more convinced that Trump will never leave office peacefully.’
The president’s former fixer said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was Trump’s idea of a success:
‘Putin’s wealth and unilateral influence, and awestruck by what he sees as the Russian president’s ability to control everything from the country’s press to its financial institutions.’
Cohen added:
‘Locking up your political enemies, criminalizing dissent, terrifying or bankrupting the free press through libel lawsuits — Trump’s all-encompassing vision wasn’t evident to me before he began to run for president. I honestly believe the most extreme ideas about power and its uses only really took shape as he began to seriously contemplate the implications of taking power and how he could leverage it to the absolute maximum level possible.’
The former personal attorney pled guilty to several crimes. One of them was lying to Congress about how long Trump had been working on the Moscow development deal:
‘By ingratiating himself with Putin, and hinting at changes in American sanctions policy against the country under a Trump Presidency. The Boss was trying to nudge the Moscow Trump Tower project along.’
Trump despised his base of voters. One time, he gathered religious leaders at Trump Tower in New York, NY. They wanted to “lay hands” on him. Cohen wrote that the president responded:
‘Can you believe that bullsh*t?…Can you believe people believe that bullsh*t? In the wake of Trump’s presidential kickoff announcement in 2015, in which he called Mexicans criminals and rapists, he dismissed concerns that he had alienated Latinos. “‘Plus, I will never get the Hispanic vote. Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump. They’re not my people.’
POTUS became obsessed with President Barack Obama after he won office in 2008. When the hero Nelson Mandela died, Trump said,
‘Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a sh*thole…They are all complete f*cking toilets. Mandela f*cked the whole country up. Now it’s a sh*thole. F*ck Mandela. He was no leader.’
One time, Cohen saw Trump just out of the shower. He wrote:
‘…when his hair wasn’t done, his strands of dyed-golden hair reached below his shoulders along the right side of his head and on his back, like a balding Allman Brother or strung out old ’60s hippie.’
Trump specifically authorized Cohen to strike the deal with the adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels. The attorney wrote that the president said:
‘It’s only $130,000. “F*ck it, Michael. Go talk to Allen and figure it all out.’
Cohen talked about lying to a bank. He called it “a fantasy of the federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York:”
‘I didn’t lie for the simplest reason: the bank never asked what I wanted the money for.’
Cohen wrote that there was no doubt in his mind that Trump was unaware of the FBI raids on his properties:
‘My lawyers had continually stated that they didn’t see any charges coming, but the truth in this country is that if federal prosecutors want to get you, they will.’
Cohen saved his harshest criticism for the media for aiding Trump’s catapult into office:
‘Donald Trump’s presidency is a product of the free press, free as in freedom of expression, I mean free as unpaid for. Rallies broadcast live, tweets, press conferences, idiotic interviews, 24-7 wall-to-wall coverage, all without spending a penny. The free press gave America Trump. Right, left, moderate, tabloid, broadsheet, television, radio, Internet, Facebook — that is who elected Trump and might well elect him again.’

Recently, a report came out from the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (a government agency) insisting that Russia “is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia ‘establishment.'” An additional document has emerged stating that Russia would try to sow doubts about presidential candidates’ health, although a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson claimed it didn’t have the proper context. Harris added that she and Biden acknowledge that until figures like themselves have the opportunity to make policy changes like a restoration of at least some of the powers of the Voting Rights Act, there “will be many obstacles that people are intentionally placing in front of Americans’ ability to vote. But we will surpass and surmount and get around those obstacles.”
The vice presidential pick also addressed Trump’s relentless rose-colored glasses approach to the economy. Although recent improvements in measurements like stock market value have only come after major Coronavirus-induced economic upheaval, Trump has tried to tout recent developments anyway.
Harris said:
‘There is no question that Donald Trump has been an abject failure and incompetent when it comes to addressing the severe job loss that has happened as a result of the pandemic, because he has failed to address the pandemic itself… His perspective cannot be our perspective, because his perspective for too long is to talk about how well the economy is doing based on how rich people are doing. We need to talk about how the economy is doing based on how working people are doing.’

bipartisanreport--2020-09-07--Trump Attacks John McCain During Belligerent Labor Day Meltdown

At a Monday afternoon press conference at the White House , President Donald Trump decided that it was a great time to yet again complain about John McCain , who was serving as a Senator from Arizona at the time of his death after a long career in public service .
A recent report in The Atlantic alleged that Trump had referred to American service members killed in action as “ losers ” and “ suckers , ” and reporter Jeff Mason asked Trump on Monday whether he understood how some people might have a hard time accepting his denials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ previous public antagonism towards McCain .
Trump responded by , in part , denigrating McCain again .
‘ I ’ ve always been on the opposite side of John McCain .
John McCain liked wars .
I will be a better warrior than anybody , but when we fight a war we will win them and frankly I was never a fan of John McCain .
You know that .
It ’ s been very obvious .
But I had to approve his entire funeral .
I wanted him to get , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it all was approved by me .
We sent Air Force One to pick up the casket .
A lot of things.
’ Trump ’ s claim that he approved McCain ’ s “ entire funeral ” is a lie .
Although presidential approval is required for a casket to lie in state , as McCain ’ s did , presidential approval is not required for things like a service at the National Cathedral in D.C. , where a funeral service was held in McCain ’ s honor .
The cathedral itself has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spokesperson said that “ No funeral at the Cathedral requires the approval of the president or any other government official.
” ‘ I was not a fan of John McCain because he wanted the endless wars and I didn ’ t .
I thought that the way that the vets were taken care of was not good , not appropriate .
Of course , he took the fake dirty dossier and gave it to the FBI… Am I supposed to say , oh , what a wonderful guy ?
So , you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he lived with me… I respect people .
I respect a lot of people .
That doesn ’ t mean I necessarily have to agree with them.
’ It ’ s McCain himself — alongside Bernie Sanders !
— who co-sponsored Veterans Choice legislation that allows vets to see providers outside of the VA system if they ’ re not getting anywhere with the system ’ s providers .
Trump did eventually sign an extension of that program into law — and it was named after McCain !
Trump has repeatedly taken credit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he is , however , flatly not responsible for it .

At a W.H. press conference, President Donald Trump decided that it was a great time to yet again complain about John McCain, who was serving as a Senator from Arizona at the time of his death after a long career in public service. A recent report in The Atlantic alleged that Trump had referred to American service members killed in action as “losers” and “suckers,” and reporter Jeff Mason asked Trump on Monday whether he understood how some people might have a hard time accepting his denials of those allegations in light of his previous public antagonism towards McCain. Trump responded by, in part, denigrating McCain again.
He said:
‘I’ve always been on the opposite side of John McCain. John McCain liked wars. I will be a better warrior than anybody, but when we fight a war we will win them and frankly I was never a fan of John McCain. You know that. It’s been very obvious. But I had to approve his entire funeral. I wanted him to get, he deserved a first class — you know it all was approved by me. We sent Air Force One to pick up the casket. A lot of things.’
Trump’s claim that he approved McCain’s “entire funeral” is a lie. Although presidential approval is required for a casket to lie in state, as McCain’s did, presidential approval is not required for things like a service at the National Cathedral in D.C., where a funeral service was held in McCain’s honor. The cathedral itself has confirmed this — last year, a spokesperson said that “No funeral at the Cathedral requires the approval of the president or any other government official.”
Still, Trump added:
‘I was not a fan of John McCain because he wanted the endless wars and I didn’t. I thought that the way that the vets were taken care of was not good, not appropriate. Of course, he took the fake dirty dossier and gave it to the FBI… Am I supposed to say, oh, what a wonderful guy? So, you know what, I lived with him, he lived with me… I respect people. I respect a lot of people. That doesn’t mean I necessarily have to agree with them.’
Watch his comments below:
Trump says he doesn't understand "at all" why people point to his John McCain insults to refute his denials that he disparaged U.S. military "John McCain liked wars. I will be a better warrior than anybody, but when we fight a war, we're gonna win 'em" https://t.co/Nj065CIsxp pic.twitter.com/1DNmqpIQQY — CBS News (@CBSNews) September 7, 2020
It’s McCain himself — alongside Bernie Sanders! — who co-sponsored Veterans Choice legislation that allows vets to see providers outside of the VA system if they’re not getting anywhere with the system’s providers. Trump did eventually sign an extension of that program into law — and it was named after McCain! Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the entire program concept, but he is, however, flatly not responsible for it.


bipartisanreport--2020-09-07--Obama Shows Trump How To Lead With Labor Day Message To America

The invisible war .
During this coronavirus pandemic , we think of medical professionals such as the nurses and doctors in hospitals .
But there are also those who bring the meals , clean the sheets , or empty the bedpans .
Think of the Americans who drive and staff the ambulances and the nursing homes where life may be cut short .
Even then , it is almost impossible to take a very few seconds on television and turn that into true understanding .
The cameras do not show them with a dying patient , a sick young person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vietnam War , the news was much more graphic and should be that way today , because without seeing , how do we appreciate the toll of this invisible war ?
It is hard to have hope when we are afraid .
The fear that this Donald Trump imposes upon us is intended to drive any hope away and leave us shellshocked .
There is something especially interesting about the hope that President Barack Obama ran on .
When we feel safe , we can relax and take in the idea of hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If kids are fearful , sick , hungry , or in pain that drives out the ability to reach the grounded point where they can receive knowledge .
Obama brought to us for eight years a fairly safe place , then offered us hope .
He is bringing it again in his Labor Day tweet : Our Obama is also thinking of the shoppers for the big box stores and the people who replenish the shelves with food .
Add those who drive trucks to carry it into the cities and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homes .
As Donald Trump tries to destroy the US Postal Service , we come to recognize how vitally important these workers are and how much damage the politicians have done to their lives .
There is nearly an endless list of “ essential ” workers , jobs that do not let workers have the luxury of staying home and working from a computer .
So this Labor Day and the days after let us try to follow Obama ’ s example .
Then , when our Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seat after Senate seat , it will be time to make some changes .
We have a magnificent opportunity to build a more compassionate nation where people only work one job and earn enough for a safe middle-class life in a world filled with hope .

The invisible war. During this coronavirus pandemic, we think of medical professionals such as the nurses and doctors in hospitals. But there are also those who bring the meals, clean the sheets, or empty the bedpans. Think of the Americans who drive and staff the ambulances and the nursing homes where life may be cut short. Even then, it is almost impossible to take a very few seconds on television and turn that into true understanding. The cameras do not show them with a dying patient, a sick young person, or a neighbor. During the Vietnam War, the news was much more graphic and should be that way today, because without seeing, how do we appreciate the toll of this invisible war?
It is hard to have hope when we are afraid. The fear that this Donald Trump imposes upon us is intended to drive any hope away and leave us shellshocked.
There is something especially interesting about the hope that President Barack Obama ran on. When we feel safe, we can relax and take in the idea of hope. The same is true of learning. If kids are fearful, sick, hungry, or in pain that drives out the ability to reach the grounded point where they can receive knowledge. Obama brought to us for eight years a fairly safe place, then offered us hope. He is bringing it again in his Labor Day tweet:
‘This Labor Day, let’s thank all those who’ve kept our country going this year—nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, food service workers, and many more. We can honor them by building our system back even better—so that essential workers are treated like it, pandemic or not.’
Our Obama is also thinking of the shoppers for the big box stores and the people who replenish the shelves with food. Add those who drive trucks to carry it into the cities and the ones who carry it out of our homes. As Donald Trump tries to destroy the US Postal Service, we come to recognize how vitally important these workers are and how much damage the politicians have done to their lives.
There is nearly an endless list of “essential” workers, jobs that do not let workers have the luxury of staying home and working from a computer. So this Labor Day and the days after let us try to follow Obama’s example.
Then, when our Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins the election in November and Republicans lose Senate seat after Senate seat, it will be time to make some changes. We have a magnificent opportunity to build a more compassionate nation where people only work one job and earn enough for a safe middle-class life in a world filled with hope.
Twitter world went wild wishing that the favorite president was still in the White House. Check out some of our favorites below:

bipartisanreport--2020-09-07--Trump Has Major Mental Malfunction During Labor Day Press Conference

On Monday , President Donald Trump called a press conference at which he touted recent economic figures that have a semblance of positivity about them as if the preceding months haven ’ t been full of the loss of millions upon millions of jobs .
In the hours before the press conference , Trump posted on Twitter about the millions of jobs that have supposedly been “ created , ” but many if not most of the newly available jobs are likely just positions coming back that had previously been lost amidst the pandemic .
There ’ s not some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a crisis .
Trump lashed out at Democratic vice presidential pick Kamala Harris for her recent criticism over his virus response — laughably , Trump tried to depict her as some kind of anti-vaccine radical .
Harris is not an anti-vaxxer .
Neither is her fellow presidential ticket member , presidential nominee Joe Biden .
During a recent interview on CNN , Harris simply said that if a vaccine comes out that Trump endorses but public health officials do not , she would not take his word for it that the vaccine was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a liar , who has himself dismissed science when it ’ s suited him .
He has previously claimed , for instance , that the Coronavirus might go away on its own .
There ’ s never been any evidence for that claim .
‘ Biden and his very liberal running mate — the most liberal person in Congress , by the way , who ’ s not a competent person , in my opinion , [ and ] who would destroy this country and destroy this economy — should immediately apologize for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking right now , talking about endangering lives .
It undermines science , and what happens is , all of a sudden you ’ ll have this incredible vaccine , and because of that fake rhetoric — it ’ s political rhetoric , that ’ s all it is , just for politics , because now they see we ’ ve done an incredible job , and in speed like nobody ’ s ever seen before .
This could have taken two or three years , and instead , it ’ s going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ period of time .
We could even have it during the month of October.
’ It is unclear when a vaccine might actually be available — according to the Guardian , nine vaccines were in phase three clinical trials as of last Friday .
Last week , Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said that he did not think it ’ s likely that a vaccine will be ready within October .
Meanwhile , on Monday , Trump also claimed that Biden “ wants to surrender our country to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our families to the violent left-wing mob , ” and “ wants to surrender our jobs to China.
” Trump claimed , subsequently , that he ’ s “ taken in billions and billions of dollars from China , ” which “ no other president ” has supposedly done .
He ’ s lying .
For starters , Biden ’ s Coronavirus response “ plan ” is not to “ surrender ” — that ’ s pretty much what Trump did .
Biden has simply stated that he ’ d impose economic shutdowns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Biden has also straightforwardly and unequivocally condemned violence , over and over .
Also — the money Trump seems to be referring to is income from tariffs on Chinese goods .
The tariffs are paid by U.S. importers , not China .

On Monday, President Donald Trump called a press conference at which he touted recent economic figures that have a semblance of positivity about them as if the preceding months haven’t been full of the loss of millions upon millions of jobs. In the hours before the press conference, Trump posted on Twitter about the millions of jobs that have supposedly been “created,” but many if not most of the newly available jobs are likely just positions coming back that had previously been lost amidst the pandemic. There’s not some magical economic boom — there’s a crisis. Trump lashed out at Democratic vice presidential pick Kamala Harris for her recent criticism over his virus response — laughably, Trump tried to depict her as some kind of anti-vaccine radical.
Harris is not an anti-vaxxer. Neither is her fellow presidential ticket member, presidential nominee Joe Biden. During a recent interview on CNN, Harris simply said that if a vaccine comes out that Trump endorses but public health officials do not, she would not take his word for it that the vaccine was safe. After all, Trump is a liar, who has himself dismissed science when it’s suited him. He has previously claimed, for instance, that the Coronavirus might go away on its own. There’s never been any evidence for that claim.
On Monday, Trump ranted to reporters:
‘Biden and his very liberal running mate — the most liberal person in Congress, by the way, who’s not a competent person, in my opinion, [and] who would destroy this country and destroy this economy — should immediately apologize for the reckless anti-vaccine rhetoric that they are talking right now, talking about endangering lives. It undermines science, and what happens is, all of a sudden you’ll have this incredible vaccine, and because of that fake rhetoric — it’s political rhetoric, that’s all it is, just for politics, because now they see we’ve done an incredible job, and in speed like nobody’s ever seen before. This could have taken two or three years, and instead, it’s going to be done in a very short period of time. We could even have it during the month of October.’
Watch his belligerent rant below:
It is unclear when a vaccine might actually be available — according to the Guardian, nine vaccines were in phase three clinical trials as of last Friday. Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said that he did not think it’s likely that a vaccine will be ready within October.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Trump also claimed that Biden “wants to surrender our country to the virus,” “wants to surrender our families to the violent left-wing mob,” and “wants to surrender our jobs to China.” Trump claimed, subsequently, that he’s “taken in billions and billions of dollars from China,” which “no other president” has supposedly done. He’s lying.
For starters, Biden’s Coronavirus response “plan” is not to “surrender” — that’s pretty much what Trump did. Biden has simply stated that he’d impose economic shutdowns if experts advised him to do so. Biden has also straightforwardly and unequivocally condemned violence, over and over. Also — the money Trump seems to be referring to is income from tariffs on Chinese goods. The tariffs are paid by U.S. importers, not China.


bipartisanreport--2020-09-07--Trump Tweets Labor Day Afternoon Lunacy Like A Maniac

Amidst the ongoing Coronavirus crisis in the United States , which has claimed the lives of over 190,000 Americans as of early Monday , President Donald Trump is focused on… complaining about his former national security adviser , John Bolton .
The ex-official has publicly broken with Trump following his unceremonious departure from the White House , and he has written a book about his experiences on the Trump team in which he lays out his perspective on the president ’ s belligerence .
On Monday , Trump took issue with Bolton ’ s characterization of his relationship to North @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump himself is the one who originally claimed that he and Kim “ fell in love.
” Again — Trump ’ s the one who originally said that he “ fell in love ” with Kim .
That ’ s a quote !
Is Trump implying that folks should just not take him seriously at just about any point ?
( That obviously wouldn ’ t be a bad idea , considering Trump ’ s incessant lies . )
He can ’ t just expect to claim he was “ joking ” — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from whatever problem he ’ s made for himself .
He used the same tactic after suggesting exploring injecting household disinfectants as a potential Coronavirus treatment method , but he definitely did not seem to be joking at the time of his original comments .
Months ago , around the time of the release of his memoir , Bolton did say the following : ‘ [ Trump ] said that… back in the day , as they say , he always wanted to be the one who broke up with the girl first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ girl to break up with him .
And he used that to describe whether he would cancel the summit with Kim Jong-un first or whether we would risk the North Koreans canceling it .
And I thought it was an insight into the president , candidly given , that showed how he approached this.
’ On Monday , Trump also posted some drivel about the economy , including a false suggestion that Democratic presidential pick Joe Biden would raise taxes across the board .
In fact , he does not plan to raise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a year .

Amidst the ongoing Coronavirus crisis in the United States, which has claimed the lives of over 190,000 Americans as of early Monday, President Donald Trump is focused on… complaining about his former national security adviser, John Bolton. The ex-official has publicly broken with Trump following his unceremonious departure from the White House, and he has written a book about his experiences on the Trump team in which he lays out his perspective on the president’s belligerence. On Monday, Trump took issue with Bolton’s characterization of his relationship to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, although Trump himself is the one who originally claimed that he and Kim “fell in love.”
Trump tweeted:
‘Just heard that Wacko John Bolton was talking of the fact that I discussed “love letters from Kim Jong Un” as though I viewed them as just that. Obviously, was just being sarcastic. Bolton was such a jerk!’

Again — Trump’s the one who originally said that he “fell in love” with Kim. That’s a quote! Is Trump implying that folks should just not take him seriously at just about any point? (That obviously wouldn’t be a bad idea, considering Trump’s incessant lies.) He can’t just expect to claim he was “joking” — or whatever — and thereby become free from whatever problem he’s made for himself. He used the same tactic after suggesting exploring injecting household disinfectants as a potential Coronavirus treatment method, but he definitely did not seem to be joking at the time of his original comments.
Months ago, around the time of the release of his memoir, Bolton did say the following:

On Monday, Trump also posted some drivel about the economy, including a false suggestion that Democratic presidential pick Joe Biden would raise taxes across the board. In fact, he does not plan to raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year.
