bipartisanreport--2020-05-02--Trump Upends His Own Campaign’s Messaging

Ahead of the 2020 general election , presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has faced a newly surfaced accusation of committing sexual assault against a woman named Tara Reade , who worked for his Senate office in the 1990s .
Allies of President Donald Trump , who has himself faced many allegations of perpetrating sexual harassment and assault , have rushed to try and turn Reade ’ s story into a rallying cry against Biden , but Trump himself “ undercut ” that effort during a recent interview in which he focused on complaining about the baselessly supposed problem of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington Post explains .
The idea that prominent men , like Trump , his U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh , and others have faced rampant false accusations of misconduct is false — but that ’ s what Trump pushed during an interview broadcast this past week on The Dan Bongino Show , thereby upending the rush by his allies to turn Reade ’ s case into a political football .
‘ All of a sudden you become a wealthy guy , you ’ re a famous guy , then you become president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never seen , that you ’ ve never heard of , make charges… I would just say to Joe Biden , ‘ Just go out and fight it.
’ .. As far as records and all , I have no idea , he ’ d have to make up that decision .
I can say that I ’ ve been accused .
You probably have , too .
As soon as you ’ re famous , you get accused.
’ Trump appears to have a vested interest in trying to tamp down the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and assaulted by powerful men .
Trump himself has faced a slew of allegations of misconduct ranging from harassment to rape , the stories of which span a period of decades .
Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations , but frequently , his denials have actually bolstered the allegations via means like his mockery of the accusers ’ appearances .
He has also been caught on tape , on the set of the show Access Hollywood , bragging about committing sexual assault .
Amidst the renewed focus on Trump ’ s own past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tara Reade ’ s story , new White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany suggested at a press conference this week that the president had been essentially vindicated because of his election .
However — the fact that some Americans chose to vote for Trump despite the allegations doesn ’ t disqualify them .
That ’ s not how reality works… ‘ The American people had their say in the matter when they elected President Trump as president .
But , you know , leave it to the media to really take an issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it on the president and bring up accusations from four years ago that were asked and answered in the form of the vote of the American people.
’ The issue is one of many that seem poised to weigh on the 2020 general election , including obvious weights like the Coronavirus pandemic .
For now , Biden tends to lead Trump in polls measuring their expected general election match-up .
In recent weeks , Biden has gotten public endorsements from a wide array of prominent Democrats .

This weekend, President Donald Trump continued his campaign to try and convince observers that he’s remotely competent when it comes to handling the Coronavirus pandemic. Laughably, this Saturday morning, he tweeted an attempted correction to Capitol physician Dr. Brian Monahan, who’d said that he did not have adequate testing capacity to test all Senators that would be returning to D.C. this week. Bizarrely, Trump tagged his own chief of staff, Mark Meadows, in the tweet. He does know that he can just… pick up the phone and talk to Mark, right? It’s as if he thinks this is all a game.

The post follows previous attempts from the president to convince observers that the need for increased Coronavirus testing capacity in the U.S. is all an illusion. It’s not — calls for increased testing capacity are not false talking points, as Trump has claimed. They’re basic facts, which Trump seems to be trying to wish out of existence in the name of bolstering his public image.
This Saturday morning, Trump also again touted supposed poll numbers supposedly showing high approval for the president within the Republican Party. A single poll, however, does not erase months on end of polling in which presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads Trump in the overwhelming majority of results.
96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! Also, just out, highest ever Approval Rating overall in the new Gallup Poll, and shows “Trump beating Sleepy Joe Biden.” — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 2, 2020

This past week , President Donald Trump continued on with his campaign against any official who dares to stand against his agenda .

This past week, President Donald Trump continued on with his campaign against any official who dares to stand against his agenda. In a late Friday night move, the administration announced the replacement of an official at the Department of Health and Human Services who took the simple step of reporting medical supply shortages around the U.S. amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Trump decried those reports as fake news, although they constituted basic, documented facts, and now, the official behind them — principal deputy inspector general Christi Grimm at the Department of Health and Human Services — is getting replaced.
The New York Times reports:
‘The White House waited until after business hours to announce the nomination of a new inspector general for the department who, if confirmed, would take over for Christi A. Grimm, the principal deputy inspector general who was publicly assailed by the president at a news briefing three weeks ago.’
At the briefing that the report references, Trump suggested that partisan animosity played a part in the reporting about the medical supply shortages. Those shortages were basic facts, but Trump alleged a partisan conspiracy anyway. In the time since, Trump, who is seemingly forever detached from reality, has also decried calls for increased Coronavirus testing capacity in the U.S. as a supposed “false talking point.” They’re not talking points! Trump is just trying to wish basic facts out of existence — or fire his way out of accountability for them.
Grimm is far from the first official to face removal after countering the president. Trump also recently fired Michael Atkinson from his post as the inspector general for the intelligence community. Months ago, Atkinson had forwarded the whistleblower complaint to Congress that helped kickstart the impeachment proceedings over Trump’s attempt to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens. Atkinson had completely followed protocol with his work.
Trump attracted a lot of criticism for his replacement of Grimm.
Former Democratic Congressional candidate Dr. Kathie Allen, for instance, observed:
‘It doesn’t matter what prior administration you examine— Dem or Republican. There has never been one that made the needs of the American public such an irrelevancy. The self-interest, self-delusion, and truth-denying are destroying us.’

President Donald Trump ’ s focus remains squarely with his public image amidst the Coronavirus pandemic .
To that end , this Sunday afternoon , he took to Twitter to insist that supposedly , the intelligence community had actually failed to warn him about the threat of the Coronavirus throughout the early weeks of 2020 .
His contention is meant to undercut reporting from publications like The Washington Post , which outlined the many junctures at which Trump failed to take warnings about the Coronavirus seriously .
Rather than accepting even a modicum of responsibility for his actions , Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s some kind of huge gap in the entire intelligence community of the United States — but he ’ s the untrustworthy one here , by far .
‘ Intelligence has just reported to me that I was correct , and that they did NOT bring up the CoronaVirus subject matter until late into January , just prior to my banning China from the U.S. Also , they only spoke of the Virus in a very non-threatening , or matter of fact , manner .
Fake News got it wrong again , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives were saved by my EARLY BAN of China into our Country .
The people that we ’ re allowed were heavily scrutinized and tested U.S. citizens , and as such , I welcome them with open arms !
’ There is no immediately apparent evidence for Trump ’ s contention that his restrictions on travel from China saved any lives whatsoever .
Airlines had already begun restricting their own travel into and out of China before Trump ever stepped in , but he , then and now , has relied on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ travel restrictions rather than develop the systematic response that the U.S. needed to avert the current crisis , with tens of thousands of Americans dead .
As for the part about the supposed failure of the intelligence agencies to warn Trump about the Coronavirus , MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin notes : Who ’ s more believable — U.S. intelligence agencies or the incompetent serial liar Donald Trump ?
Obviously , the answer is the intelligence agencies .

Right-wing protesters have continued to turn out against the social distancing orders that have been in effect in most states across the U.S. in attempts to stem the spread of the Coronavirus , which has killed tens of thousands of Americans and counting .
If tens of thousands had died in the U.S. from just about any other means , right-wingers would likely have no problem with shutting down certain aspects of the economy in order to protect American lives , but — perhaps since they can ’ t see and shoot at the virus — they ’ ve been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sunday appearance this weekend , White House Coronavirus response task force member Dr. Deborah Birx spoke out against the protesters , noting the dangerous potential that they spread the virus to vulnerable people .
‘ It ’ s devastatingly worrisome to me personally because if they go home and they infect their grandmother or grandfather who has a comorbid condition and they have a serious or very unfortunate outcome they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives .
So we need to protect each other at the same time as we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over 1.1 million Coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the U.S. , so it ’ s far from contained .
Yet , antagonistic demonstrators have been turning out in large groups in which the virus could spread anyway .
In one high-profile incident , armed , screaming demonstrators stormed the Michigan state capitol building to make their , uh , voices heard .
If the social distancing measures that people have been clamoring against are prematurely lifted , even more Americans could die , and last Thursday , the U.S. already hit the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coronavirus deaths in a single day , according to data from the World Health Organization .
The Trump administration , including Dr. Birx , has outlined guidelines for states to use when plotting their reopening strategies including two weeks of consistently declining cases .
None of the states that have already moved towards reopening have seen that sought after decline .
Asked if she ’ s “ worried ” about the effects of a “ patchwork reopening ” and if the federal government should institute some kind of binding provisions for states to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Birx told host Chris Wallace : ‘ Well I think federal guidelines are pretty firm policy of what we think is important from a public health standpoint .
We also made it possible for states to open counties independently of the entire state… as states reopen , we want them to follow the gating criteria , but we also made it clear to the American people , this is what you need to continue to do to protect yourself .
You need to continue to social distance.
’ Birx sounds like she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country are so useless towards the aim of protecting public health that Americans need to go it alone , essentially , and plan on protecting themselves apart from whatever their leaders happen to do — or not do .
President Donald Trump himself has been among those clamoring against social distancing demands .

Right-wing protesters have continued to turn out against the social distancing orders that have been in effect in most states across the U.S. in attempts to stem the spread of the Coronavirus, which has killed tens of thousands of Americans and counting. If tens of thousands had died in the U.S. from just about any other means, right-wingers would likely have no problem with shutting down certain aspects of the economy in order to protect American lives, but — perhaps since they can’t see and shoot at the virus — they’ve been flipping out. During a Fox News Sunday appearance this weekend, White House Coronavirus response task force member Dr. Deborah Birx spoke out against the protesters, noting the dangerous potential that they spread the virus to vulnerable people.
Birx told Fox host Chris Wallace:
‘It’s devastatingly worrisome to me personally because if they go home and they infect their grandmother or grandfather who has a comorbid condition and they have a serious or very unfortunate outcome they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives. So we need to protect each other at the same time as we’re voicing our discontent.’
"Devastatingly worrisome" is how Dr Birx described scenes of protesters not socially distancing and not wearing masks. She says some may unknowingly infect others who will have poor outcomes. A public health comment and not about their right to protest. — Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) May 3, 2020
Well over 1.1 million Coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the U.S., so it’s far from contained. Yet, antagonistic demonstrators have been turning out in large groups in which the virus could spread anyway. In one high-profile incident, armed, screaming demonstrators stormed the Michigan state capitol building to make their, uh, voices heard.
If the social distancing measures that people have been clamoring against are prematurely lifted, even more Americans could die, and last Thursday, the U.S. already hit the dismal point of a record over 2,900 Coronavirus deaths in a single day, according to data from the World Health Organization.
The Trump administration, including Dr. Birx, has outlined guidelines for states to use when plotting their reopening strategies including two weeks of consistently declining cases. None of the states that have already moved towards reopening have seen that sought after decline.
Asked if she’s “worried” about the effects of a “patchwork reopening” and if the federal government should institute some kind of binding provisions for states to use when plotting their paths for reopening, Birx told host Chris Wallace:
‘Well I think federal guidelines are pretty firm policy of what we think is important from a public health standpoint. We also made it possible for states to open counties independently of the entire state… as states reopen, we want them to follow the gating criteria, but we also made it clear to the American people, this is what you need to continue to do to protect yourself.

Watch below:

In recent days, angry protests against lockdown orders instituted amidst the Coronavirus pandemic have continued across the U.S., including in states like Michigan, which has been hard hit and whose stay-at-home order is slated to expire on May 15. Many of the Michigan demonstrators were armed and stormed the state capitol building, weapons in hand, which President Donald Trump responded to with praise. On Twitter, he suggested that Michigan’s Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer should strike some kind of deal with the demonstrators. This weekend on CNN, Whitmer and Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan both smacked down the protesters’ belligerence, insisting that the angry demonstrators, are, in fact, completely out of line.
Those behind the spectacles have insisted upon prioritizing economic productivity. They could be demonstrating — safely — in favor of something like increased government assistance for the unemployed or help with housing for families in-need. Instead, they’re insisting that a simple request for them to stay home because of the pandemic that has killed tens of thousands of Americans constitutes some kind of unconscionable affront to their civil liberties.
Whitmer told CNN host Jake Tapper:
‘We know people are not all happy about having to take this stay-home posture, and you know what? I’m not either. But the fact of the matter is, we have to listen to the epidemiologists and public health experts and displays like the one we saw at our capitol is not representative of who we are in Michigan. There were swastikas, and Confederate flags, and nooses, and people with assault rifles, and that’s a small group of people, when you think about that this is a state with almost ten million people, the vast majority of whom are doing the right thing.’

Whitmer pointed out that, by all appearances, the social distancing measures that have been implemented in Michigan have helped keep the Coronavirus tolls in the state from getting even higher — and Michigan has already suffered more than 4,000 Coronavirus deaths. Whitmer added that no matter the partisan clamoring from certain demonstrators and their supporters, she will continue to work to protect the lives of Michiganders.
During the same CNN broadcast, Maryland’s Governor Hogan also derided the anti-lockdown protesters who emerged in his own state. At one recent rally, Maryland’s Republican Congressman Andy Harris even ludicrously compared Hogan’s enforcement of stay-at-home demands to “Communist China” and North Korea.
Hogan commented:
‘I think everybody has a right to protest and express their feelings, and a couple of dozen people did so yesterday, and they have every right to do that. Sadly, we had far more people die yesterday in Maryland than we had protesters.’

Hogan also mocked Harris’s “outrageous” contention that the stay-at-home order is on par with North Korea, suggesting that he confused North Korea with South Korea, the latter of which has taken swift and broad action to contain the virus and, importantly, been successful.
The commentary from Whitmer and Hogan contrasts dramatically with Trump’s own notion that the demonstrators are good people, which is reminiscent of his contention after right-wingers and neo-Nazis demonstrated in Virginia that some of those present were “very fine people.”


bipartisanreport--2020-05-03--Hillary Shows Trump How To Lead On COVID-19 With Weekend Message To Voters

Donald Trump appears to believe that cheating is a perfectly acceptable form of winning .
The more time that passes , the more evidence arises to show former Secretary of State and Senator Hillary Clinton was the real 2016 presidential winner .
Clinton ’ s loss was not right , but does that matter ?
The former secretary of State keeps coming back into the public eye with a comment or an appearance .
Typically , she has expressed bitterness over her loss to 45 .
This time though , she posted a tongue-in-cheek photo that was truly funny : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No problem .

# MaskingForAFriend @ PandemicAction ’ Donald Trump has frequently said that he was being sarcastic , but no humor has really escaped those powdered lips .
On the other hand , Clinton ’ s humor has been at its best when she has made fun of herself .
She wore a “ VOTE ” mask in her posting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must-have accessory ” to go with her ever-present wardrobe of pants suits .
Then , she attached the hashtag “ MaskingForAFriend.
” That turned her joke into a multi-level piece of successful humor .
Clinton announced her former Vice President Joe Biden endorsement on Tuesday .
She made her endorsement during a virtual town hall out of necessity .
The subject was women and the coronavirus pandemic .
She emphasized “ facts over fiction ” will be as crucial to the November election , Yahoo News reported : ‘ I want to add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ endorsed you to be our president .
Just think of what a difference it would make right now , if we had a president who not only listened to the science , with facts over fiction , but brought us together .

In reality, Trump has tried to cultivate some kind of twisted personal comradery with Kim. At one point, Trump said that he and the North Korean dictator “fell in love” after they sent each other “beautiful letters.” Trump has given up numerous U.S. concessions — he even stopped U.S. joint military exercises planned with South Korea in an attempt to win the favor of the North Koreans. However, at no point in Trump’s campaign to, uh, get Kim to like him has there been any significant change in the status of the country’s nuclear weapons capability.

Kudlow’s insistence that the Trump administration acted swiftly and effectively is incorrect. Well over 1.1 million Coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the U.S., and one set of supposedly great travel restrictions that still allowed tens of thousands of flights from China after their implementation was far from enough to avert the crisis.
400k+ flew from China before the US became the 39th country to impose travel restrictions. 40k+ came after. Since CV was already here and the fact that the US now leads in cases and is 3rd in deaths makes Trump’s claim of early decisive action meaningless. https://t.co/nQj5Bq3thg — Rick Tyler-Still Right (@rickwtyler) April 7, 2020

Donald Trump yanked the U.S. funding from The World Health Organization (WHO). He has done a quite effective job of toppling one valued institution after another, but America needs the WHO. This is why.
China has been conducting an investigation into where the coronavirus outbreak started, according to the global health authority’s representative in China, Dr. Gauden Galea.
Friday, the doctor told Sky News, according to NBC News:
‘We know that some national investigation is happening but at this stage, we have not been invited to join. The origins of virus are very important, the animal-human interface is extremely important and needs to be studied. The priority is we need to know as much as possible to prevent the reoccurrence.’
Galea noted that there was to be another coronavirus update from the Chinese government shortly. However, China has not extended an invitation to the WHO to join the investigation and collaborate with the Chinese.
The U.S. president said he believed COVID-19 started in the Chinese-backed Wuhan Institute of Virology. However, once Trump makes a decision, he will continue operating into that reality. Trump has no evidence that he is willing to share to back his declaration:
‘Yes, yes I have. I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that.’
The Chinese government has rejected Trump’s unproven statements blaming the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Other members of the government have stepped carefully around POTUS’ theory. However, the majority of experts think that coronavirus started in an open market selling wildlife to people, as delicacies.
Galea said WHO did not have access to the Chinese “laboratory logs at either the institute or the Wuhan Chinese Center for Disease Control and prevention.” May Day is considered a national holiday in Chinese, so many Chinese officials were not available immediately.
Trump’s attitude toward the WHO has hurt the organization. POTUS appears convinced that the coronavirus originated in the Chinese laboratory. A senior Chinese official suggested that America should mind its own coronavirus outbreak. On Monday, Trump said that he expected 70,000 to even 100,000 cases.
The commander-in-chief has regularly gone after the WHO for how it dealt with the crisis. Two weeks ago, Trump pulled the organization’s funding. He said that he would consider returning funding based upon a review of the source of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.
Galea’s doubts over Chinese projections influence people’s views. He said regarding coronavirus cases reported in China between January 3 through 16. He said:
‘Is it likely that there were only 41 cases for that period of time? I would think not.
NBC News wanted to interview Galea, but he refused to comment. The WHO did release a statement. It included evidence that COVID-19 was the result of an animal to human source instead of a weaponized virus from China’s labs. He asked for additional investigation:
‘It is our understanding that a number of investigations to better understand the source of the outbreak in China are currently underway or planned… WHO is not currently involved in the studies in China. WHO would be keen to work with international partners and at the invitation of the Chinese Government to participate in investigation around the animal origins.’
There has been a rising dispute throughout the world. over how the pandemic started in China toward the end of 2019. Australia for example, has called for a public investigation into how the pandemic started.

bipartisanreport--2020-05-04--Trump Bans COVID Task Force From Testifying To Congress

Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic , which has claimed the lives of almost 70,000 Americans as of Monday afternoon , the Trump administration has banned members of their Coronavirus response task force from testifying to Congress through at least the end of the month .
The administration ’ s stated reasoning is that the officials should be free to focus their time and energy directly on the response to the crisis , but they seem willfully ignorant of the crucial role of adequate information about the situation while formulating a response .
Examining what ’ s been done and what might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ circumstances as-is claim the lives of thousands of Americans a day .
Perhaps the de facto insistence otherwise from the White House is a result of their belligerent self-confidence .
The new testimony guidelines flatly prohibit every member of the White House ’ s Coronavirus task force from appearing before Congress through at least the end of May .
Additionally , the Department of Health and Human Services , Department of Homeland Security , and the State Department have all been admonished to accept no more than a total of four hearing invitations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with one each for the respective departments ’ primary House and Senate authorizing committees and appropriations subcommittees .
As one senior administration official put it : Again though — understanding what ’ s been done and the effects of what ’ s been done — or what hasn ’ t been done — is not a frivolous undertaking .
Americans are dying in large numbers in the wake of the Coronavirus response decisions that have been previously undertaken .
Americans should not be expected to blindly accept those decisions in the name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information that those officials can provide could be crucial to finding and fixing gaps in the current federal Coronavirus response , then their appearances before Congress would most certainly not be counterproductive .
It ’ s worth noting — Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health has been scheduled for an appearance before the Senate Health , Education , Labor and Pensions Committee on May 12 .
Since he ’ s a leading member of the White House Coronavirus response task force , it ’ s not immediately clear how the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that planned hearing .
Going forward , Congressional Democrats have already discussed the need for an investigation of the Coronavirus response failures of the president and his closest political allies .
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff ( D-Calif. ) , for instance , has suggested a 9/11-style investigative commission .

Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed the lives of almost 70,000 Americans as of Monday afternoon, the Trump administration has banned members of their Coronavirus response task force from testifying to Congress through at least the end of the month. The administration’s stated reasoning is that the officials should be free to focus their time and energy directly on the response to the crisis, but they seem willfully ignorant of the crucial role of adequate information about the situation while formulating a response. Examining what’s been done and what might be next is not frivolous while the circumstances as-is claim the lives of thousands of Americans a day.
Perhaps the de facto insistence otherwise from the White House is a result of their belligerent self-confidence. The new testimony guidelines flatly prohibit every member of the White House’s Coronavirus task force from appearing before Congress through at least the end of May. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department have all been admonished to accept no more than a total of four hearing invitations each through the end of the month, with one each for the respective departments’ primary House and Senate authorizing committees and appropriations subcommittees.
The guidance reads, in part:
‘The demands on agencies’ staff and resources are extraordinary in this current crisis. Agencies must maximize their resources for COVID-19 response efforts and treat hearing requests accordingly.’
As one senior administration official put it:
‘We’re telling agencies that during this unprecedented time our resources need to be dedicated toward the coronavirus. At this stage we really need everybody manning their stations and prioritizing coronavirus response work.’
Again though — understanding what’s been done and the effects of what’s been done — or what hasn’t been done — is not a frivolous undertaking. Americans are dying in large numbers in the wake of the Coronavirus response decisions that have been previously undertaken. Americans should not be expected to blindly accept those decisions in the name of efficiency.
White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere has insisted:
‘While the Trump Administration continues its whole-of-government response to COVID-19, including safely opening up America again and expediting vaccine development, it is counter-productive to have the very individuals involved in those efforts appearing at Congressional hearings.’
Actually, if the information that those officials can provide could be crucial to finding and fixing gaps in the current federal Coronavirus response, then their appearances before Congress would most certainly not be counterproductive.
It’s worth noting — Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health has been scheduled for an appearance before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on May 12. Since he’s a leading member of the White House Coronavirus response task force, it’s not immediately clear how the new guidelines for Congressional testimony might affect that planned hearing.
Going forward, Congressional Democrats have already discussed the need for an investigation of the Coronavirus response failures of the president and his closest political allies. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), for instance, has suggested a 9/11-style investigative commission.

This incident is not the first in which the Trump team has touted imagery depicting graphic violence against Trump opponents. At one pro-Trump conference at one of his own hotels in South Florida, the speaker showed a clip of a figure with Trump’s face edited on slaughtering a dizzying array of figures with imagery edited on that suggested Trump’s opponents.
In this incident, some Twitter commenters suggested that Disney might have some grounds for a lawsuit against the Trump campaign for appropriating the Star Wars imagery for campaign messaging. Disney is famously strict with their intellectual property. In the past, the Trump team has faced criticism from a slew of creators whose work they have appropriated. Even the rock band The Rolling Stones have demanded that the president’s team stop using their music at his rallies.

bipartisanreport--2020-05-04--GOP’r Says He Won’t Wear A Mask Because God Doesn’t

What does God wear ?
An Ohio State Representative Nino Vitale has been giving that some thought .
He did not go for the golden robes or those made out of grain sacks .
Yet , there was one item the representative felt safe enough to discuss .
Vitale believes that God does not wear a mask , so he does not intend to do so either .
Yet in photos of the representative , he wears a tie .
Did God wear a tie ?
Vitale also wears a shirt and a suit coat .
In others , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do that ?
For all we know , in most photos , the representative has not been wearing a pair of pants .
After all , God did not .
OMG , what if God is a woman ?
If God has been a woman all these years , what sort of shoes does she prefer ?
Does she like to match her purse with her shoes , or does she like to break the rules ?
Maybe , she wears yield-sign yellow over the elbow gloves like the student teacher wore to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jesus do ?
When the representative spoke of “ God , ” did he really mean his only begotten son “ Jesus ” That would have been far easier .
After all , the world has pictures of Jesus standing at the door , listening to the children , and in a stormy sea .
The son of God may have to wear his mask soon , though .
You know , if God catches him not wearing his mask in a pandemic , God might get angry , and no one wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if Jesus catches the disease and goes to visit God he might give the coronavirus to his Father .
That could be very bad .
Vitale will have to ask Jesus to tell the world what else God wears , it seems .
Do believers have to wear that uncomfortable crown of thorns , too ?
The Ohio Capital-Journal reporter Tyler Buchanan noted that the maskless stranger aka Vitale said that lots of people see his face .
However , wearing the mask might make for an interesting campaign tool .
As he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ask “ Who was that masked man ?
” Vitale posted on his own Facebook : ‘ It is time to do what Preble County did , ignore the unelected Dr. Acton ’ s orders , open your counties now , before it ’ s too late .
This is not based on logic , this is based on fear and propaganda and every statistical , data driven study done in the last 2 weeks says death counts are low , the models were wrong , and this is more like the flu.

‘GOP State Rep. Nino Vitale on why he won’t wear a face mask: “This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles. One of those principles is that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our face.”’

‘It is time to do what Preble County did, ignore the unelected Dr. Acton’s orders, open your counties now, before it’s too late. This is not based on logic, this is based on fear and propaganda and every statistical, data driven study done in the last 2 weeks says death counts are low, the models were wrong, and this is more like the flu.’
