newspunch--2020-09-10--Nasty Nancy: ‘Something Is WRONG’ With Trump – His Family Should Stage an ‘Intervention’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged Donald Trump ’ s family to stage an intervention against POTUS because “ something is wrong ” with him .
Appearing on Wednesday ’ s broadcast of MSNBC ’ s “ Andrea Mitchell Reports ” , Pelosi was asked about the new Bob Woodward book .
Mitchell said , “ Let me ask you again about the Bob Woodward book because there are larger issues about the president ’ s leadership , and these are relevant today , as always , because they are his role as commander-in-chief .
Bob Woodward quotes former Defense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coats , the former head of national intelligence , and then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson , that he had prayed at the National Cathedral because of what he felt was the president ’ s incapacity to lead as commander-in-chief .
He said there may be a time when we have to take collective action , and all resign .
So there were early concerns back in 2017 , even with the first secretary of state , about the president ’ s capacity by Jim Mattis and by Dan Coats , as quoted in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very interesting , especially in light of the fact that the Republicans in Congress do nothing , do nothing to temper the bad policy that springs from that person .
You would think that the family or the Republicans would have some kind of intervention .
Clearly , the behavior of the president is not on the level , ” Pelosi said .
“ So when we talk about his incapacity and whatever his mental state is , we have to be careful about how that impacts the health and well being of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sad that the Republicans in Congress—I don ’ t paint everybody with the same brush , certainly not Republicans in the country , many of them , with how willing he is to squander the health and well being , the economic security , the food security , the housing security of America ’ s families .
For what ?
For what ?
Because he doesn ’ t want to face the fact that his denial , his distortion , his delay , has cost so much harm to this country , health-wise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t face that reality .
Something is wrong there .
It ’ s not on the level .
And the Republicans who condone it are accomplices to it .
And as I ’ ve said , they ’ re going to have doggie doo on their shoes for the rest of their lives , ” she added .
Reacting to audio of Trump saying he wanted to “ play down ” the coronavirus , Pelosi said : “ What he was actually saying is , I don ’ t want anybody to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch , so I ’ m not going to call any more attention to it , it ’ s a hoax , we expect a miracle , it ’ s going to go away magically .
Something ’ s very wrong with this .
And it can be captured in the statement that the president made about that .
I don ’ t know , I mean , again , I just don ’ t know why there isn ’ t some kind of intervention by those who are surrounding him professionally , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his own family , to say something is very wrong here , we have to have an intervention for the good of our father , Donald Trump , and for the good of our country .

Her phone had to be wiped to be reset because the passcode provided was inaccurate and the phone was left in airplane mode.
” – another entry stated .

One phone assigned to James Quarles “ wiped itself without intervention from him.

Rice, a former National Security Adviser, was appointed to the Netflix board that same year.
Cuties follows a 11-year-old Senagalese Muslim girl who joins an overtly sexual dance group for children known as Mignonnes.
Breitbart.com reports: Unlike a normal dance group for girls her age, the children’s activity involves highly provocative and sexualized dancing, with twerking (a style predicated on shaking one’s buttocks up and down) at the center of their performances.
The film has provoked outrage among the wider population, with its YouTube trailer attracting an incredible 1.6 million dislikes compared to just 39,000 thumbs up. Meanwhile, around 600,000 people have signed a petition pledging to cancel their Netflix subscription because of the film, while the hashtag #CancelNetflix trended on Twitter on Thursday.
“As I have been researching content that exploits children and creates a disturbing vibe, I have found many shows and movies on Netflix to have similar inappropriate behaviors as Cuties, the movie this petition was originally based off,” the latest petition states. “From cuties to Big Mouth to other movies mocking religions and exploiting children Netflix is no longer the family-friendly streaming service I once believed it to be!”
Netflix has so far refused to condemn any aspect of the film’s content. However, they did issue an apology last month for a promotional image that showed girls posing in skimpy outfits.
We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description. — Netflix (@netflix) August 20, 2020
In his review of the film, Breitbart film critic John Nolte described Cuties as both “dull and indefensible.”
“Hey, if we’re going to protect Barack Obama and Susan Rice, what we’re supposed to say is that Cuties is a damning indictment of the sexualization of children,” he noted. What we are not supposed to say is that the children in Cuties are sexualized to stick it to The Man.”

The Department of Justice is also targeting and investigating the head of these organizations, the individuals that are paying for these individuals to move across the country.”

During remarks at a Democratic congressional retreat in 2012, Biden explained that when it came time to make the final decision, he was stricken with doubt and uncertainty and “hedged” his bet.
When the president asked his top advisers for their final opinion on the mission, all of them were hesitant, except for the former CIA director Leon Panetta, Biden said.
“Every single person in that room hedged their bet except Leon Panetta. Leon said go. Everyone else said, 49, 51,” Biden said, as he offered the unsolicited details of the decision-making process.
“He got to me. He said, ‘Joe, what do you think?’ And I said, ‘You know, I didn’t know we had so many economists around the table.’ I said, ‘We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go. We have to do two more things to see if he’s there,’” Biden recalled.
While Biden did not explain what those two more things were, the next morning the president ignored Biden and gave National Security Adviser Tom Donilon the “go” to launch the SEAL raid of the compound.
“He knew what was at stake, not just the lives of those brave warriors, but literally the presidency,” Biden said.
Biden is all too aware that he didn’t have the guts to make the call and got the biggest decision of the Obama presidency wrong, which is why he changed his story years later to claim that he had actually supported the raid.
That history is important to remember as the 19th anniversary of the September 11 attacks rolls around and as Biden seeks to become the next commander in chief.

Fauci also praised Trump’s performance in March, telling conservative Mark Levin on Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin: “I can’t imagine that under any circumstances that anybody could be doing more.”
In 2009, Trump’s rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, sparked a panic by urging the public not to travel on airplanes or subways due to the threat of the H1N1 swine flu. The Obama White House had to walk back Biden’s inflammatory comment.
Milano announced last month that she had tested positive for coronavirus.
Treason is a crime punishable by the death penalty, according to federal law, though that is rarely imposed. President Trump has used the word to describe efforts by the outgoing Obama-Biden administration to spy on his presidential campaign.

Since 1944 , judges decided whether a man had to register as a sex offender if he had sex with a female minor 14 years of age or older when the age difference is not more than 10 years , so Wiener argued that since the law didn ’ t apply to young boys , the LBGTQ community was being ‘ discriminated against.

A Black Lives Matter activist speaking at a conference for progressives that draws more than 3,000 attendees from across the country told a room full of white people that “ All white people are racist ” while at the same time seeking money in the form of donations .
In the video , posted to YouTube , the BLM activist who goes by “ Hunter Ashleigh ” and “ Ashleigh Shackleford ” stands next to two hand-written posters .
One poster was a list of topics including diversity , intersectionality , equality , capitalism and white privilege .
The other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reads : “ All white people are racist.
” Beneath that is Shackleford ’ s PayPal account information .
It receives equal billing on the page .
But , if that doesn ’ t stop you in your tracks , turn up the volume .
Here ’ s what you will hear her say : “ All white people are racists .
So , I put this up because I really want any white person in the room to know up front that this is what we ’ re dealing with .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be this coddling of white tears .
“ And we ’ re not going to discuss , ‘ oh , maybe some of us are going to work it out.
’ “ No , you ’ re always going to be racist , actually .
“ So even when you ’ re on your path to trying to figure out how to be a better human being , I believe that white people are born into not being human.
” What happens next may be more surprising than the above statement : No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ room .
The video has made a recent resurgence during the nationwide protests that have followed the death of Minnesota man George Floyd while in police custody in late May .
It follows the trend of civil unrest and the powder keg of racial tensions building in large cities across the U.S. as rioter and looters clash with police and counter protesters .
The clip in question actually dates back to 2017 and was recorded at Netroots Nation .
The annual conference for progressives draws more than 3,000 attendees from across the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ online organizers , grassroots activists and independent media makers.
” The woman spotlighted as leading the training session in the now re-booted video describes herself as a “ Black fat cultural producer , multidisciplinary artist , nonbinary shapeshifter , hood feminist , and data futurist.
” In the “ about ” section on her website she claims to illustrate “ the relationship between Blackness , fatness , desire , queerness , afrotechnology and popular culture.
” She apparently draws the relationship line at white people .
For a more in depth look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the convention , here are some samples of tweets she ’ s recently “ liked ” on the social media platform : “ Happy International Whores Day .
I am proud to be a sex worker , and I am proud to be Black.
” “ No , Black people can not be racist against white people .
I don ’ t care what your favorite online commentator says.
” “ the fact that we are seeing an uptick in kneeling and hugging cops should suggest that this was , in fact , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of property ; it should illustrate how this was moreso about the perfection of coercive force on the improper—Blackness.
” Now that you have an idea of her interests , conversely , here is a look at how others have reacted to Shackleford ’ s presentation , with mixed reviews .
In the comment section of a YouTube page showing the video the top comment out of more than 70 reads : “ Substitute the word black every time she says white and you ’ d be in jail and vilified on all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ok ?
” “ How can you even say that ?
?
?
I love all colors and my family is of all colors.
” “ All [ any group ] people are [ blunt statement ] … That is a fundamentally terrible way to form an idea .
Ironically , that mentality is the essence of racist beliefs.

Joe Biden is so bitter about President Trump ’ s achievements in the Middle East that he is now claiming the peace deal between Israel and several Arab states is an “ accident.

Biden’s main argument was that Trump had “put Israel in danger,” despite the historic peace deals, because he had withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal, and the Iranian regime was enriching uranium.
