bipartisanreport--2020-07-31--Jim Jordan Flips Out On Dr. Fauci  During House Hearing Like A Wacko

Congressman Jim Jordan ( R-Ohio ) is a profoundly incompetent individual .
This Friday , during a House hearing featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health as one of the witnesses , Jordan went off on a belligerent , unhinged tirade , complaining about why protests were allowed to go on while other things , like packed church services , were not .
His unhinged , head-spinning rant had no relationship to Fauci ’ s actual job responsibilities — he ’ s a public health official , not a policy-maker , and across a country like the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be differences of opinion about the best way to implement the recommendations of public health officials .
Jordan preferred to just rant and rave — he wound himself up into a near-rage , repeating the same line of questioning about protests for the entirety of his roughly five minutes .
After Jordan initially asked whether protests contribute to the spread of the virus , Fauci replied : Jordan followed up with a question for Fauci of whether protesting should therefore be limited .
The rapid-fire nature of Jordan ’ s questioning makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with making some kind of political point than he was with actually finding some meaningful information .
Fauci didn ’ t even mention protests specifically ; he mentioned mask-less crowds .
After Fauci noted that he didn ’ t think Jordan ’ s question of whether protests should be limited was “ relevant , ” the Congressman repeated it , without even really making eye contact with Fauci , strangely enough .
Fauci subsequently said : Indeed — Fauci is a public health official .
He ’ s not a policy-maker .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distinction .
Jordan subsequently yet again reiterated the question of whether protests should be limited , and Fauci yet again reiterated that he was not in a position to make that determination — or he tried to , at least .
Jordan interrupted Fauci and ranted : ‘ Government ’ s stopping people from going to church , Dr. Fauci !
Last week in the Calvary Chapel case , five liberals on the Supreme Court said it was okay for Nevada to limit church services .
Justice Gorsuch said it best ; he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Cesar ’ s Palace over Calvary Chapel .
I ’ m just asking , is there a world in which the Constitution says you can favor one First Amendment liberty , protesting , over another , practicing your faith ?
’ After Jordan — amazingly !
— kept up the same line of questioning , Fauci laughed and said : Jordan would do well to be concerned about the actual policy failures that have kept lifesaving supplies like personal protective equipment from getting out to @ @ @ @ @ @

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is a profoundly incompetent individual. This Friday, during a House hearing featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health as one of the witnesses, Jordan went off on a belligerent, unhinged tirade, complaining about why protests were allowed to go on while other things, like packed church services, were not. His unhinged, head-spinning rant had no relationship to Fauci’s actual job responsibilities — he’s a public health official, not a policy-maker, and across a country like the United States, there are obviously going to be differences of opinion about the best way to implement the recommendations of public health officials. Jordan preferred to just rant and rave — he wound himself up into a near-rage, repeating the same line of questioning about protests for the entirety of his roughly five minutes.
After Jordan initially asked whether protests contribute to the spread of the virus, Fauci replied:
‘Crowding together, particularly when you’re not wearing a mask, contributes to the spread of the virus.’
Jordan followed up with a question for Fauci of whether protesting should therefore be limited. The rapid-fire nature of Jordan’s questioning makes it seem like he was more concerned with making some kind of political point than he was with actually finding some meaningful information. Fauci didn’t even mention protests specifically; he mentioned mask-less crowds.
After Fauci noted that he didn’t think Jordan’s question of whether protests should be limited was “relevant,” the Congressman repeated it, without even really making eye contact with Fauci, strangely enough. Fauci subsequently said:
‘I’m not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way.’
Indeed — Fauci is a public health official. He’s not a policy-maker. The Congressman seemed to fail to grasp this distinction.
Jordan subsequently yet again reiterated the question of whether protests should be limited, and Fauci yet again reiterated that he was not in a position to make that determination — or he tried to, at least. Jordan interrupted Fauci and ranted:
‘Government’s stopping people from going to church, Dr. Fauci! Last week in the Calvary Chapel case, five liberals on the Supreme Court said it was okay for Nevada to limit church services. Justice Gorsuch said it best; he said, there’s no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Cesar’s Palace over Calvary Chapel. I’m just asking, is there a world in which the Constitution says you can favor one First Amendment liberty, protesting, over another, practicing your faith?’
Fauci replied:
‘I’m not favoring anybody over anybody. I’m just making a statement that’s a broad statement that avoid crowds of any type no matter where you are because that leads to the acquisition and transmission, and I don’t judge one crowd versus another crowd. when you’re in a crowd, particularly if you’re not wearing a mask, that induces the spread.’
After Jordan — amazingly! — kept up the same line of questioning, Fauci laughed and said:
‘I don’t know how many times I can answer that. I’m not going to opine on limiting anything.’
Watch the interaction below:
Jordan would do well to be concerned about the actual policy failures that have kept lifesaving supplies like personal protective equipment from getting out to the people who need it.


bipartisanreport--2020-07-31--Trump’s ‘Right Hand Man’ On Immigration Abruptly Resigns

The chaos of the Trump administration is continuing to churn this week , with an abruptly revealed departure of a top immigration enforcement official at the Department of Homeland Security .
Matthew Albence has been serving as acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) since June 2019 , when then-head Mark Morgan was shifted over to the leadership of Customs and Border Protection ( CBP ) , but now , Albence will reportedly be leaving his post at ICE by Labor Day .
ICE agents have been among the highly controversial federal agents who have recently been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protesters .
On Friday , acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf confirmed Albence ’ s upcoming departure and issued a statement thanking him for his service .
Wolf said : In what universe has Albence helped restore anything like “ integrity ” to federal immigration enforcement ?
Although at the time , he was not the head of ICE , he ’ s the guy who , when confronted by Congress about the conditions in which detained immigrant children have been held , compared the detention facilities to “ summer camp.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actual situation , which Albence used to try and justify the Trump administration ’ s past policy of punitively separating immigrant children from their parents .
Albence earned sharp condemnation at the time .
Lawyer Lee Gelernt , who works as the deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union ’ s Immigrants ’ Rights Project , told CNN at the time : ‘ It doesn ’ t matter what the facilities look like .
The trauma is from separating the child from the parent .
Every night the child is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to see my parents again ?

The chaos of the Trump administration is continuing to churn this week, with an abruptly revealed departure of a top immigration enforcement official at the Department of Homeland Security. Matthew Albence has been serving as acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since June 2019, when then-head Mark Morgan was shifted over to the leadership of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), but now, Albence will reportedly be leaving his post at ICE by Labor Day. ICE agents have been among the highly controversial federal agents who have recently been dispatched across the country to confront peaceful protesters.
On Friday, acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf confirmed Albence’s upcoming departure and issued a statement thanking him for his service. Wolf said:
‘As the senior law enforcement official for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he successfully led ICE to record-breaking criminal arrests and seizures in furtherance of ICE’s critical national security and public safety missions, and helped restore integrity to this country’s immigration system. He has been a tireless advocate for the more than 21,000 dedicated professionals of ICE and a critical member of the DHS leadership team.’
In what universe has Albence helped restore anything like “integrity” to federal immigration enforcement? Although at the time, he was not the head of ICE, he’s the guy who, when confronted by Congress about the conditions in which detained immigrant children have been held, compared the detention facilities to “summer camp.” That is a grotesque misrepresentation of the actual situation, which Albence used to try and justify the Trump administration’s past policy of punitively separating immigrant children from their parents.
Albence earned sharp condemnation at the time. Lawyer Lee Gelernt, who works as the deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, told CNN at the time:
‘It doesn’t matter what the facilities look like. The trauma is from separating the child from the parent. Every night the child is going to sleep thinking, ‘Am I ever going to see my parents again?’ It doesn’t matter whether they are in palaces. They certainly are not palaces. That’s a shocking statement.’
Throughout the Trump administration, the president and his political allies — including Albence — have focused on harshness towards immigrants at just about every turn imaginable. Besides the obvious elements along these lines, like the president’s endless clamoring for a southern border wall, his administration has also taken steps like attempting to curtail access to asylum for groups like anyone who passes through a third country before reaching the southern U.S. border through Mexico and does not apply for asylum in that country. That rule essentially excluded the entirety of Central America from consideration for asylum well before Coronavirus-related travel restrictions were in place.
Amidst the pandemic, the Trump administration proved yet again just how far that they’re willing to go to make their animosity towards immigrants clear. At one point, they announced plans to implement a rule demanding that most international students would have to leave the country if their school switched to all-online classes for the fall semester. After backlash, including lawsuits from top schools, the Trump administration reversed their plans.

The U.S. economy has plummeted under the weight of the Coronavirus pandemic , which has left tens of millions of people out of work for a time .
According to recently released numbers , the U.S. GDP shrunk in the second quarter by 9.5 percent , and when the drop rate is annualized — meaning recalibrated into an annual rate — that drop comes in a staggering 32.9 percent , which is the drop spread out over the course of the year .
In a cover page released this week following the devastating news , The New York Times wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus “ wipes out 5 years of economic growth ” — and that period of time , of course , stretches back to before Donald Trump took office , meaning that his supposedly great economy is nowhere to be found .

Yet , the Trump administration has failed to implement any kind of national policy that has effectively beaten back the virus , even as other countries get their own outbreaks under control .
The U.S. is stuck with the imbecilic excuse for a president , Donald Trump , who ’ s still trying to convince people that the U.S. has so many cases because it does so much testing , which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would still exist and be relevant and people would still be getting sick and dying even if not a single test was performed .

The second quarter decline in GDP in the United States is the largest decline that has ever been recorded in a single quarter in the country. The Times reports:
‘The collapse was unprecedented in its speed and breathtaking in its severity. The only possible comparisons in modern American history came during the Great Depression and the demobilization after World War II, both of which occurred before the advent of modern economic statistics.’
Controlling the Coronavirus is integral to getting the economy back on track, since as long as there’s a deadly virus spreading among the population, certain business activities are going to necessarily be curtailed. Yet, the Trump administration has failed to implement any kind of national policy that has effectively beaten back the virus, even as other countries get their own outbreaks under control.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-31--Trump Verbally Assaults Black Congressman During Friday Morning Conniption

There are some things Donald Trump says that defy logic .
Injecting disinfectants into a living human being will not cure COVID-19 and makes no sense at all .
150,000 Americans haven ’ t died from the virus just to make Trump look bad .
And testing does not cause new cases , it just helps to identify who has the virus and what communities are at risk .
The virus and hospitalizations and deaths would not slow down if testing was “ slowed down ” like Trump wants it to be .
While the United States has currently tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our population is also much larger .
In terms of tests per capita , the U.S. is 16th in terms of the percentage of its citizens tested .
Peru actually leads in testing and by a much higher rate of half their population while the U.S. has tested just seven percent .
More testing does not lead to more cases .
They simply reveal who has the virus .
Of course , those numbers make Trump look bad , so he wants more than anything to make it stop and even told a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked to “ slow the testing down.
” The reason that COVID-19 hasn ’ t been properly addressed by the U.S. in comparison to any other country is not because we have great testing .
It ’ s because we have a horrible and incompetent president .
Twitter was quick to let Trump know these facts and many more .

bipartisanreport--2020-08-01--Trump Snaps & Attacks Obama From W.H. Lawn ‘I Did More For Minorities’

On Friday , President Barack Obama gave a moving and inspiring eulogy to the late Rep. John Lewis , a Civil Rights hero who described Obama ’ s inauguration as the first black president “ an out of body experience ” after dedicating his life to ensure black Americans have the right to vote .
Asked about whether he had seen the eulogy , Trump bristled , saying that he had done “ much more for minorities than he did , ” because everything is a contest to Trump and he ’ ll never , ever be as respected as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he wants to be .
Trump has repeated this claim since the first year of his presidency , when his policies hadn ’ t even been implemented yet , and was fact-checked by the Associated Press in 2018 .
A recent study by the BBC showed similar numbers until the economy crashed due to COVID-19 , which has hit the black communities in America the hardest .
‘ Prior to the coronavirus crisis , there had been a consistent downward trend in African-American unemployment under President Trump .
‘ But it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama , who saw the rate decline from 12.6 % to 7.5 % during his two terms in office from 2009 until 2017.
’ Jobs create opportunities and are important , but how those jobs improve lives and communities is even more so .
When President Obama came into office , the poverty rate in black communities was 27.6 percent , and when he left it was 21.8 percent , a nearly six point drop .
Under Donald Trump , that poverty rate has continued to fall…a whole one additional point .
‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the African-American poverty rate was 20.8 % – which is the lowest on record , beating the previous year , since the official count began in the 1960s…Black poverty also came down under President Obama , and was 21.8 % in 2016 – his last full year in office.

Democrats and Republicans have argued over the terms of a new stimulus package @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total collapse .
House Democrats passed a bill in May to extend the one-time payments of $ 1200 per adult and $ 500 per child , but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has refused to take the bill to the Senate for a vote .

bipartisanreport--2020-07-31--Trump Admin Hit With Surprise Subpoena Over Forced Evidence Release

If the members of the Trump administration thought that they would be able to escape accountability for their brazen political self-dealing — well , they were wrong .
This Friday , House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel ( D-N.Y. ) issued a subpoena demanding a full 16,080 pages of evidence from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo .
Specifically , Engel wants access to the material that the Pompeo-led State Department submitted to Senate Republicans as part of their conspiracy-fueled investigation into the Bidens .
Engel has accused Pompeo of turning the State Department into a brazenly Trump-centered enterprise , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s capitulation to Senate Republicans .
Engel has given Pompeo a deadline of August 7 .
Engel explained : ‘ Secretary Pompeo has turned the State Department into an arm of the Trump campaign and he ’ s not even trying to disguise it .
After trying to stonewall virtually every oversight effort by the Foreign Affairs Committee in the last two years , Mr. Pompeo is more than happy to help Senate Republicans advance their conspiracy theories about the Bidens .
I want to see the full record of what the department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want the American people to see it too.
’ California ’ s Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu , who is a member of the committee , commented on Twitter : To be clear : the Senate Republicans ’ investigation of the Bidens rests on nothing but conspiracies .
Although some , including the president himself , have suggested otherwise , there is no evidence indicating that then-Vice President Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a certain top prosecutor because that then-prosecutor was looking at a business his son , Hunter , was involved with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ faced pressure from a slew of Western interests , and there ’ s not even any apparent evidence that Biden was even familiar with his son ’ s work with the company in question , an energy firm called Burisma .
Accusations of some kind of nefarious intent behind Joe ’ s advocacy for Shokin ’ s firing helped drive the harebrained scheme that got Trump impeached .
Trump and his political allies tried to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens on the basis of these allegations that Joe used his job as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There ’ s no evidence of any kind of conspiracy on the then-vice president ’ s part , however .
Basically , the president and his allies have just been doing a lot of tweeting and finger-pointing and seemingly hoping that someone can find something , as if that would make Americans suddenly forget the Trump administration ’ s own consistent catastrophic failures .
At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing this week , Pompeo faced pressure over an array of other subjects , including Trump ’ s suggestion to delay the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) allegations of some kind of looming threat of massive election fraud .
Pompeo claimed that it would ultimately be up to the Justice Department whether or not to delay the election — but that ’ s not true .
It ’ s the role of Congress to orchestrate election proceedings .

‘Dear @SecPompeo : As Secretary of State, your job is to represent America before the world. It is not using taxpayer resources to smear Americans. (Nor is it using taxpayer resources for your own personal interests and errands). I look forward to seeing these documents.’

To be clear: the Senate Republicans’ investigation of the Bidens rests on nothing but conspiracies. Although some, including the president himself, have suggested otherwise, there is no evidence indicating that then-Vice President Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a certain top prosecutor because that then-prosecutor was looking at a business his son, Hunter, was involved with. The prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, faced pressure from a slew of Western interests, and there’s not even any apparent evidence that Biden was even familiar with his son’s work with the company in question, an energy firm called Burisma.
Accusations of some kind of nefarious intent behind Joe’s advocacy for Shokin’s firing helped drive the harebrained scheme that got Trump impeached. Trump and his political allies tried to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens on the basis of these allegations that Joe used his job as vice president to benefit his son. There’s no evidence of any kind of conspiracy on the then-vice president’s part, however. Basically, the president and his allies have just been doing a lot of tweeting and finger-pointing and seemingly hoping that someone can find something, as if that would make Americans suddenly forget the Trump administration’s own consistent catastrophic failures.
At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing this week, Pompeo faced pressure over an array of other subjects, including Trump’s suggestion to delay the election in light of his (completely baseless) allegations of some kind of looming threat of massive election fraud. Pompeo claimed that it would ultimately be up to the Justice Department whether or not to delay the election — but that’s not true. It’s the role of Congress to orchestrate election proceedings.
Why did Pompeo argue yesterday that the Justice Department would make the determination of the date of our Election Day when clearly he must have known that unelected bureaucrats have zero power to do so? Im genuinely curious. Just thinking about Trump's reaction? Or more? — Michael McFaul (@McFaul) July 31, 2020

On Friday , as negotiations continued over a new Coronavirus relief package , White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a press conference in which she tried to lay out some of the administration ’ s supposed priorities amidst the crisis .
She claimed that the administration is focused on extending unemployment benefits and protecting Americans from evictions , but those claims seem to have been somewhat like a smokescreen meant to obscure the Trump team ’ s ruthless politicking .
McEnany claimed that Democrats have come out with zero proposals for a new relief package , but that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passed new Coronavirus relief legislation over two months ago , which the Republican-led Senate has refused to take up for all this time .
McEnany was also questioned about issues like why there ’ s $ 377 million for White House renovations that ’ s been proposed to be included in the next Coronavirus relief legislation .
As the reporter noted , it ’ s not the first highly questionable inclusion to come out of the GOP relief proposals — the White House also wanted to include $ 1.75 billion for the development @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As it pertains to White House renovations , many of those pertain to safety protocols , filtration systems , enhanced communication ability , and needs that we saw that were highlighted during the pandemic , but make no mistake , a $ 377 million proposal will not stand in the way of ensuring that the American people will get their checks .
That is the priority , and ensuring that Americans do not get evicted — [ those ] are our number one , number two goals.
’ McEnany seems to be presenting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein notes that the White House didn ’ t even express support for extending a nationwide moratorium on evictions until this past Wednesday , but the actual national moratorium expired last Friday .

On Friday, as negotiations continued over a new Coronavirus relief package, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a press conference in which she tried to lay out some of the administration’s supposed priorities amidst the crisis. She claimed that the administration is focused on extending unemployment benefits and protecting Americans from evictions, but those claims seem to have been somewhat like a smokescreen meant to obscure the Trump team’s ruthless politicking. McEnany claimed that Democrats have come out with zero proposals for a new relief package, but that’s a lie — the Democrat-led House passed new Coronavirus relief legislation over two months ago, which the Republican-led Senate has refused to take up for all this time.
"We've made four proposals. The Democrats have made precisely zero," says Kayleigh McEnany says. House Democrats passed their own legislation in May. — Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) July 31, 2020
McEnany was also questioned about issues like why there’s $377 million for White House renovations that’s been proposed to be included in the next Coronavirus relief legislation. As the reporter noted, it’s not the first highly questionable inclusion to come out of the GOP relief proposals — the White House also wanted to include $1.75 billion for the development of a new FBI building.

McEnany claimed in response:
‘As it pertains to White House renovations, many of those pertain to safety protocols, filtration systems, enhanced communication ability, and needs that we saw that were highlighted during the pandemic, but make no mistake, a $377 million proposal will not stand in the way of ensuring that the American people will get their checks.

McEnany seems to be presenting herself and the administration quite self-righteously, but Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein notes that the White House didn’t even express support for extending a nationwide moratorium on evictions until this past Wednesday, but the actual national moratorium expired last Friday. (Some local moratoriums are still in-place.) In other words, no matter what McEnany says — where is the actual seriousness from the Trump administration about these matters? Millions of Americans have faced economic troubles throughout the pandemic, and the $600 a week add-on to expiring unemployment benefits that was imposed awhile back is expiring this week. There’s no replacement support that’s ready-to-go.

bipartisanreport--2020-08-01--Video Of Trump Struggling To Complete Basic Tasks Surfaces

President Donald Trump has been consistently attacking mail-in voting as supposedly ripe with fraud .
It ’ s not .
In fact , he himself has voted via the mail , and ( although it ’ s unclear whether he mailed it in or dropped it off in-person ) some video has been circulating recently showing Trump filling out an apparent absentee ballot all the way back in 2004 .
The video undercuts Trump ’ s own opposition to mail-in voting — Trump has tried to make a distinction between “ absentee ” voting and “ mail-in ” voting , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s talking about .
They ’ re the same thing .
In the newly circulating video , in which Trump is accompanied by then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush , Trump attempted to vote at a number of different NYC-area polling places , but he was turned away at all of them because he wasn ’ t on the rolls .
In other words , besides the fact that Trump filled out a ballot at somewhere other than a polling place all the way back in 2004 , he ’ s been incompetent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individual ’ s assigned polling place is not a secret piece of information .
He could have just looked it up in the records .
Check out the video below : This past Thursday , Trump suggested delaying the general election in the wake of his entirely ridiculous claims about the potential for fraud when mail-in voting is used .
He tweeted : It ’ s difficult to overstate how nonsensical that statement is .
First of all — the country is not going to be using “ universal ” mail-in voting .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ incompetent that he is apparently again trying to convince people that absentee voting and “ mail-in ” voting are different things .
They ’ re not !
How does he think that “ absentee ” ballots get to the elections authorities ?
Via the mail !

In fact, he himself has voted via the mail, and (although it’s unclear whether he mailed it in or dropped it off in-person) some video has been circulating recently showing Trump filling out an apparent absentee ballot all the way back in 2004. The video undercuts Trump’s own opposition to mail-in voting — Trump has tried to make a distinction between “absentee” voting and “mail-in” voting, but he has no idea what he’s talking about. They’re the same thing.
In the newly circulating video, in which Trump is accompanied by then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, Trump attempted to vote at a number of different NYC-area polling places, but he was turned away at all of them because he wasn’t on the rolls. In other words, besides the fact that Trump filled out a ballot at somewhere other than a polling place all the way back in 2004, he’s been incompetent for all this time too — an individual’s assigned polling place is not a secret piece of information. He could have just looked it up in the records.
Check out the video below:
Well now look at this. Another ‘Access Hollywood’ video surfaces with Trump and his old buddy Billy Bush. This time, Trump finds it impossible to vote in-person, so turns to an absentee ballot in desperation. pic.twitter.com/SME9VOUXbx — Mike Sington (@MikeSington) July 31, 2020
This past Thursday, Trump suggested delaying the general election in the wake of his entirely ridiculous claims about the potential for fraud when mail-in voting is used. He tweeted:
‘With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???’

Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote??? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 30, 2020
It’s difficult to overstate how nonsensical that statement is. First of all — the country is not going to be using “universal” mail-in voting. Secondly — Trump is so dense and incompetent that he is apparently again trying to convince people that absentee voting and “mail-in” voting are different things. They’re not! How does he think that “absentee” ballots get to the elections authorities? Via the mail!
David Becker, who founded the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research, told CNN:
‘No-excuse mail voting or absentee voting — whatever you call it — is essentially the same thing. You request a ballot, you get a ballot, you vote, you send it in, and there are protections in place. It doesn’t matter whether you call it mail voting or absentee voting. It’s the same thing.’
Yet, the buffoon who’s still trying to convince observers that they’re all wrong and he’s right is the one still in charge of the country.


bipartisanreport--2020-08-01--‘TikTok’ Corporate Trolls Trump With Saturday Morning Rebuke

President Donald Trump continues to flounder his way through his time in the White House .
This week , amidst a slew of other crises that have captured the attention of Americans , Trump was focused for a time on something that seemed entirely political in nature : banning TikTok .
Specifically , on Friday , Trump insisted that he would soon be banning TikTok — which is a video-sharing social media app — in the United States .
The basis for the Trump administration ’ s animosity towards the app is its ownership by a Beijing-based company , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ company to hand over data to Chinese authorities .
That sounds nefarious , but it ’ s unclear if there ’ s a single shred of concrete evidence indicating that it ’ s actually a possibility in this particular case .
A TikTok spokesperson rebuked Trump in a statement following his threat against the app .
The app ’ s spokesperson noted that the app has brought “ entertainment and connection ” to people amidst the Coronavirus pandemic , adding : ‘ We ’ ve hired nearly 1,000 people to our US team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be hiring another 10,000 employees into great paying jobs across the US .
Our $ 1 billion creator fund supports US creators who are building livelihoods from our platform… TikTok US user data is stored in the US , with strict controls on employee access .

President Donald Trump continues to flounder his way through his time in the White House.

Specifically, on Friday, Trump insisted that he would soon be banning TikTok — which is a video-sharing social media app — in the United States. The basis for the Trump administration’s animosity towards the app is its ownership by a Beijing-based company, which some claim could facilitate pressure on the company to hand over data to Chinese authorities. That sounds nefarious, but it’s unclear if there’s a single shred of concrete evidence indicating that it’s actually a possibility in this particular case. A TikTok spokesperson rebuked Trump in a statement following his threat against the app.
The app’s spokesperson noted that the app has brought “entertainment and connection” to people amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, adding:
‘We’ve hired nearly 1,000 people to our US team this year alone, and are proud to be hiring another 10,000 employees into great paying jobs across the US. Our $1 billion creator fund supports US creators who are building livelihoods from our platform… TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform.’
On Saturday, the platform’s US General Manager Vanessa Pappas also issued a statement acknowledging the situation, sharing:
‘We’ve heard your outpouring of support… we’re not planning on going anywhere… We’re here for the long run.’
During a Friday talk with reporters, Trump said:
‘As far as TikTok is concerned, we’re banning them from the United States.’
Trump claimed that he could use emergency economic powers or an executive order as the legal basis for his ban of the app, but it’s unclear how either of those options could actually stand up in court.
Banning an app like TikTok, which millions of Americans use to communicate with each other, is a danger to free expression and technologically impractical. https://t.co/ZbN7f2TOwF — ACLU (@ACLU) August 1, 2020
The American Civil Liberties Union, which has taken the Trump administration to court numerous times, didn’t seem impressed. In a late Friday/ early Saturday statement, they said:
‘Banning an app like TikTok, which millions of Americans use to communicate with each other, is a danger to free expression and technologically impractical.’
It’s incredible that — among other things — the Coronavirus is still rampaging across the United States, and this is what the president is concerned about. Death tolls from the virus are spiking again, but Trump refuses to even take the situation seriously — he talks ad nauseum about the fact that increased levels of testing mean that higher numbers of cases get confirmed, as if that’s supposed to be clever or something. The virus would still be spreading — and sickening and killing people — whether or not a single test was performed. And what’s the president doing? Golfing, tweeting nonsense, and ranting about how he’s supposedly going to ban TikTok.


bipartisanreport--2020-08-01--New Quid-Pro-Quo Foreign Election Interference Scandal Erupts On Trump

It ’ s not a surprise to anyone that Donald Trump feels no shame in asking foreign countries for help in a presidential election .
Since the democratic process means nothing to him – see his tweets earlier in the week about delaying the election until the COVID-19 crisis that has so plagued his poll numbers is over for proof of this – he has stated publicly that he would have no problem asking any country to interfere in an American election on his behalf .
Trump has previously publicly implored Russia in 2016 to hack Hillary Clinton ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during her time as secretary of state and China to investigate Joe Biden and his family .
He clearly asked the president of Ukraine to do the same , as evidenced in the transcript of the phone call that got him impeached .
Now , it appears that American Ambassador to Brazil Todd Chapman may have tried to get Brazil to help Trump in the 2020 election , as well .
According to The New York Times : ‘ In a letter sent Friday afternoon , Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel demanded that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ any and all documents referring or related to any discussions ” he has held with Brazilian officials in recent weeks about their nation ’ s tariffs on ethanol , an important agricultural export for Iowa , a potential swing state in the American presidential election .
‘ The committee ’ s letter was sent in response to reports in the Brazilian news media this week saying that Mr. Chapman , a career diplomat , made it clear to Brazilian officials they could bolster Mr. Trump ’ s electoral chances in Iowa if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been reported by the news media in Brazil is that Chapman proposed lifting tariffs on ethanol to help Trump ’ s poll numbers in Iowa , a state he won by 9.6 percentage points in 2016 in which he is now only 1.5 percentage points ahead of Biden , making a red state that shouldn ’ t be difficult to win an unexpected swing state for 2020 .
‘ The O Globo newspaper published a story on Thursday saying Mr. Chapman had underscored “ the importance to the Brazilian government of keeping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bolsonaro , a far-right leader , has made closer alignment with the Trump administration his top foreign policy priority .
‘ A competing newspaper , Estadão , published an article Fridaysaying its reporters independently confirmed that the ambassador framed his argument against tariffs in partisan terms .
The article said the Brazilian officials who met with Mr. Chapman rejected the appeal , declining to be drawn into the American presidential battle.
’ Although the Brazilian media has not revealed their sources for the story , a government official was willing to go on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnessed Chapman attempting to persuade other Brazilian government officials to help trump in the upcoming elections .

Lawmakers ‘Alarmed’ by Reports That once again Trump is seeking help from Foreign Countries.

Trump has previously publicly implored Russia in 2016 to hack Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails from the email server scandal during her time as secretary of state and China to investigate Joe Biden and his family. He clearly asked the president of Ukraine to do the same, as evidenced in the transcript of the phone call that got him impeached. Now, it appears that American Ambassador to Brazil Todd Chapman may have tried to get Brazil to help Trump in the 2020 election, as well.
According to The New York Times:
‘In a letter sent Friday afternoon, Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel demanded that the ambassador, Todd Chapman, produce “any and all documents referring or related to any discussions” he has held with Brazilian officials in recent weeks about their nation’s tariffs on ethanol, an important agricultural export for Iowa, a potential swing state in the American presidential election. ‘The committee’s letter was sent in response to reports in the Brazilian news media this week saying that Mr. Chapman, a career diplomat, made it clear to Brazilian officials they could bolster Mr. Trump’s electoral chances in Iowa if Brazil lifted its ethanol tariffs.’

What has been reported by the news media in Brazil is that Chapman proposed lifting tariffs on ethanol to help Trump’s poll numbers in Iowa, a state he won by 9.6 percentage points in 2016 in which he is now only 1.5 percentage points ahead of Biden, making a red state that shouldn’t be difficult to win an unexpected swing state for 2020.
‘The O Globo newspaper published a story on Thursday saying Mr. Chapman had underscored “the importance to the Brazilian government of keeping Donald Trump” in office. Mr. Bolsonaro, a far-right leader, has made closer alignment with the Trump administration his top foreign policy priority. ‘A competing newspaper, Estadão, published an article Fridaysaying its reporters independently confirmed that the ambassador framed his argument against tariffs in partisan terms. The article said the Brazilian officials who met with Mr. Chapman rejected the appeal, declining to be drawn into the American presidential battle.’
The @realDonaldTrump Administration is the most corrupt in history. If allegations are accurate, @USAmbBR Todd Chapman must resign. His job is not to get a foreign country to help @realDonaldTrump’s campaign. We are investigating. https://t.co/JZcSmbPy6Z — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) August 1, 2020
Although the Brazilian media has not revealed their sources for the story, a government official was willing to go on the record as saying that he had witnessed Chapman attempting to persuade other Brazilian government officials to help trump in the upcoming elections.
‘Alceu Moreira, a Brazilian congressman who heads the agricultural caucus, told The New York Times in an interview that Mr. Chapman had made repeated references to the electoral calendar during a recent meeting the two had about ethanol.
‘He said that Mr. Chapman did not explicitly urge him to help the Trump campaign or bring up the contest in Iowa — but that the American ambassador did tie the ethanol issue to the election.’
100 days left in 2020 presidential campaign. Intel community is warning that 3 countries, including Russia, working to interfere. Trump spoke to Putin yesterday & @PressSec can’t say if he raised the issue. Also unclear if he accepts it’s happening. https://t.co/FxNn2BoxC0 — Zachary Cohen (@ZcohenCNN) July 24, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-08-01--Trump Rage Tweets At Obama, Portland, & Voting During Multi-Subject Meltdown

What a president with abysmally bad poll numbers absolutely doesn ’ t need less than 100 days from the election is a younger president who is more charismatic , charming , intelligent , and inspirational than he ’ ll ever be showing him up on television .
When President Obama spoke at the funeral of John Lewis , a man who once described Obama ’ s inauguration as “ an out of body experience , ” the crowd was moved to tears of joy and sadness .
One viewer who has seen the praise that speech has gotten ever since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thrilled about it .
Trump ’ s late night tweet blasting President Obama was both typical and expected after the last great president openly criticized his efforts to suppress the vote in a eulogy for a man who was willing to die at 25 years old to protect every Americans right to be heard at the polls .
It was Trump ’ s second tweet of the night targeting President Obama .
President Obama ’ s eulogy became a trending topic on Twitter , a metric Trump takes very seriously with his most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isn ’ t him .
The online praise and adoration for a president who is truly one of the greatest orators of his time has clearly rankled Trump , inspiring rants late into the night .
See the full video of President Obama ’ s eulogy below : Obama ’ s eulogy included his feelings about the attacks on our democratic process coming from the Republican Party in general and Donald Trump more specifically .
The most fiery portion of his speech came when talking about voter suppression efforts and his words inspired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar in order to cast a ballot .
But even as we sit here , there are those in power are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting — by closing polling locations , and targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws , and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision , even undermining the Postal Service in the run-up to an election that is going to be dependent on mailed-in ballots so people don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know this is a celebration of John ’ s life .
There are some who might say we shouldn ’ t dwell on such things .
But that ’ s why I ’ m talking about it .
John Lewis devoted his time on this Earth fighting the very attacks on democracy and what ’ s best in America that we are seeing circulate right now.
’ Twitter was on to Trump ’ s deflection and his jealousy of President Obama .
