occupydemocrats--2020-10-02--Michigan AG charges two GOP operatives with multiple voter suppression felonies

The Michigan Attorney General just unveiled a four-count indictment ( embedded below ) against two of Trump ’ s most notorious propagandists for sending out thousands of robocalls aimed at suppressing the vote in key swing states .
The 23-year old Jacob Wohl and 52-year-old Jack Burkman are infamous for their stupidly bald-faced lies and theater of the absurd press conferences on the steps of the latter ’ s townhouse in DC .
Recklessly libeling and falsely accusing prominent politicians has failed to get them in major trouble up to this , but this time they ’ ve gone too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dana Nessel is seeking to imprison them for up to 24-years for targeting over 12,000 calls to parts of her state known for having large minority populations .
Four other state attorneys general assisted AG Nessel after similar calls were placed in Pennsylvania , Ohio , New York , and Illinois , for a total of over 85,000 calls with false and misleading claims aimed at suppressing the vote .
“ Any effort to interfere with , intimidate , or intentionally mislead Michigan voters will be met with swift and severe consequences , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ release .
“ This effort specifically targeted minority voters in an attempt to deter them from voting in the November election.
” She continued : We ’ re all well aware of the frustrations caused by the millions of nuisance robocalls flooding our cell phones and landlines each day , but this particular message poses grave consequences for our democracy and the principles upon which it was built.
” “ Michigan voters are entitled to a full , free , and fair election in November and my office will not hesitate to pursue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charges could carry consecutive penalties for Wohl and Burkman , the former of whom is already indicted on felony charges in California for securities fraud after becoming the youngest person to ever receive a lifetime trading ban from the federal National Futures Association .
Interestingly , the Michigan AG ’ s announcement thanked the California Attorney General Xavier Beccera for assisting their investigation .
Both men were referred to the FBI for attempting to obstruct the Mueller investigation in late 2018 , with the world ’ s most unintelligent business intelligence agency named @ @ @ @ @ @ @ persona littered with clues pointing right back at him .

The counts include : • One count of conspiracy to commit an election law violation , a five-year felony ; • One count of using a computer to commit the crime of election law – intimidating voters , a seven-year felony ; and • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of conspiracy , a seven-year felony .
Scam calls falsely said people could face all sorts of negative consequences for voting , including bill collectors getting their information and even tried to scare people into thinking voting would make them have to take “ mandatory vaccines ” for coronavirus ( it won ’ t ) .
Just last week , an unsealed court record showed that the FBI is still investigating Wohl and Burkman for their attempts to tamper with the jury that convicted President Trump ’ s right-hand man , Roger Stone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chance that they ’ ll face federal charges after ironically duping the Washington Post into believing the feds raided the two Republican operatives at Burkman ’ s DC home by hiring actors and telling them they were filming a TV pilot .

His rapid replies garnered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unraveled the Californian crook ’ s social presence early last year when he admitted in a USA Today interview that he planned to create fake accounts to misdirect Democratic voters in the 2020 presidential preference primary .
Twitter took Wohl both literally , and seriously and promptly suspended his account , giving him a lifetime ban from the social media network .
He returned to the network only a few months later , only to be banned again .
Jack Burkman is a longtime GOP lobbyist , whose political career began with an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up a protest in Texas against the NFL ’ s Dallas Cowboys for signing the first openly gay player , Michael Sam .
After being an early critic of Donald Trump , Burkman then founded the swamp organization “ Lobbyists for Trump ” and entangled himself in the Seth Rich conspiracy theory while holding poorly attended public fundraisers at a local Holiday Inn on behalf of convicted former Deputy Campaign Manager Rick Gates .
In an ironic twist , Burkman got shot twice in the butt and broke his arm ( his dachshund @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hired to investigate Seth Rich concocted an elaborate ruse to lure him to a parking garage with fake documents implicating the FBI in wrongdoing , which his attacker did as revenge for being fired from a job manufacturing false evidence .
Even though Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman are first-class buffoons , they ’ ve always been given a free pass by the DC media to keep spreading the same stupid hoaxes against targets ranging from Sen.

However , today ’ s indictment looks like it is the beginning of the end for the GOP duo ’ s reign of clinical idiocy , but it doesn ’ t look like the end of Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman ’ s legal issues because each state they targeted could seek to charge over their ill-fated campaign to dial-up disinformation to voters in swing states .

Recklessly libeling and falsely accusing prominent politicians has failed to get them in major trouble up to this, but this time they’ve gone too far.
Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel is seeking to imprison them for up to 24-years for targeting over 12,000 calls to parts of her state known for having large minority populations. Four other state attorneys general assisted AG Nessel after similar calls were placed in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Illinois, for a total of over 85,000 calls with false and misleading claims aimed at suppressing the vote.

The four charges could carry consecutive penalties for Wohl and Burkman, the former of whom is already indicted on felony charges in California for securities fraud after becoming the youngest person to ever receive a lifetime trading ban from the federal National Futures Association. Interestingly, the Michigan AG’s announcement thanked the California Attorney General Xavier Beccera for assisting their investigation.
Both men were referred to the FBI for attempting to obstruct the Mueller investigation in late 2018, with the world’s most unintelligent business intelligence agency named “Surefire Intelligence,” an online persona littered with clues pointing right back at him.
Neither Trump ally has been arrested yet, but they’re facing a litany of serious charges in Michigan, and from the sound of the AG’s press release, other states could potentially follow. The counts include:
One count of election law – intimidating voters, a five-year felony;
One count of conspiracy to commit an election law violation, a five-year felony;

Just last week, an unsealed court record showed that the FBI is still investigating Wohl and Burkman for their attempts to tamper with the jury that convicted President Trump’s right-hand man, Roger Stone.
So there’s still a chance that they’ll face federal charges after ironically duping the Washington Post into believing the feds raided the two Republican operatives at Burkman’s DC home by hiring actors and telling them they were filming a TV pilot.
Now, Jacob Wohl will have to turn himself in or face out of state extradition after a disreputable political career that began with him at age 18, using Twitter notifications to always be the first person to reply to Donald Trump’s posts.
His rapid replies garnered him over 186,000 followers, but hubris unraveled the Californian crook’s social presence early last year when he admitted in a USA Today interview that he planned to create fake accounts to misdirect Democratic voters in the 2020 presidential preference primary.
Twitter took Wohl both literally, and seriously and promptly suspended his account, giving him a lifetime ban from the social media network. He returned to the network only a few months later, only to be banned again.
Jack Burkman is a longtime GOP lobbyist, whose political career began with an aggressive act of public homophobia, whipping up a protest in Texas against the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys for signing the first openly gay player, Michael Sam. After being an early critic of Donald Trump, Burkman then founded the swamp organization “Lobbyists for Trump” and entangled himself in the Seth Rich conspiracy theory while holding poorly attended public fundraisers at a local Holiday Inn on behalf of convicted former Deputy Campaign Manager Rick Gates.
In an ironic twist, Burkman got shot twice in the butt and broke his arm (his dachshund was unhurt) when the ex-Marine he hired to investigate Seth Rich concocted an elaborate ruse to lure him to a parking garage with fake documents implicating the FBI in wrongdoing, which his attacker did as revenge for being fired from a job manufacturing false evidence.
Even though Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman are first-class buffoons, they’ve always been given a free pass by the DC media to keep spreading the same stupid hoaxes against targets ranging from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Robert Mueller himself to pretty much anyone they might see on the news.
However, today’s indictment looks like it is the beginning of the end for the GOP duo’s reign of clinical idiocy, but it doesn’t look like the end of Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman’s legal issues because each state they targeted could seek to charge over their ill-fated campaign to dial-up disinformation to voters in swing states.

occupydemocrats--2020-10-01--AOC dunks on Ted Cruz for making a hilariously bad meme about Joe Biden

The 2020 election is just over a month away and the Republican Party still can ’ t manage to articulate a coherent line of attack against Joe Biden .
He ’ s a lifelong public servant with obvious warmth , compassion , knowledge , and a genuine desire to help the American people , traits which stand in sharp contrast to Trump ’ s cruelty and disastrous incompetence .
Lacking any real argument against Biden ’ s campaign , some Republicans are vainly trying to paint him as a puppet who is really controlled by the farthest left elements within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth to the statement of course .
Biden is his own man and won the primary in large part because of his moderate appeal , but the GOP never lets a little thing like the truth get in the way of a good smear .
Earlier today Senator Ted Cruz ( R-TX ) , as pathetic and odious man as one is likely to find stalking through the halls of Congress , tweeted out a poorly photoshopped meme of a train labeled the “ Biden Express.
” The faces of prominent Democrats can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) and Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) .
Most notably , Senator Bernie Sanders ( D-VT ) is seated in the front of the train as the conductor .
The image looks like something made in a Kindergarten arts and crafts class and it ’ s frankly hilarious that a sitting U.S .
Senator would share it unironically .
Sign the petition to tell Mitch McConnell : No vote on a new Supreme Court Justice until after inauguration !
Cruz added commentary to the truly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ may be ” the Democratic nominee but “ we know who is driving the train.
” The tweet is both laughably inept and completely divorced from the truth .
While Biden does indeed engage with the progressive wing of his party at times and weighs their concerns he isn ’ t secretly being puppeteered by anyone .
It ’ s the kind of paranoid conspiracy theory that could only catch on in a party as deeply deranged as the GOP .
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez saw the tweet not long after Cruz posted it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ executed memes while riding in the quiet car of the White Supremacist Express.
” It was a short message but she absolutely nailed it .
Cruz wants to claim that Biden is being controlled by others and meanwhile Cruz remains silent as the leader of his own party refuses to condemn white supremacy and inflames the nation ’ s racial divides .
Trump is steering the train that is the GOP straight off the tracks and over a cliff while Cruz spends his time making bad memes .
We want to hear what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and let us know in our NEW comment section !

occupydemocrats--2020-10-01--Fox reporter holds McEnany’s feet to the fire as she evades question about Trump’s white supremacy

The presidential debate on Tuesday turned out to be an utter disgrace as President Trump debased himself and his office by constantly talking over the moderator and his opponent Joe Biden , hurling insults , spewing lies , and generally conducting himself like a poorly behaved child .
It was an embarrassing moment for the United States and a potent reminder of just how important the coming election really is .
This country will never recover if subjected to four more years of this deranged man-child ’ s rule .
By far the worst moment of the debate was when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ condemn white supremacists .
The president hemmed and hawed , speaking in circles until Biden asked him to denounce the Proud Boys—a violent neo-fascist organization that regularly engages in violence against peaceful protestors—at which point Trump told the group to “ stand back and stand by.
” In other words , not only did Trump refuse to condemn white supremacy , he ordered a far-right paramilitary group to “ stand by , ” presumably for further orders .
The disturbing moment was met with widespread alarm and condemnation .
Trump made a lukewarm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he doesn ’ t know who the Proud Boys are , a dubious claim at best .
The fact that he didn ’ t take the most obvious approach by saying he misspoke in the moment and that he condemns the Proud Boys and white supremacists all over , speaks volumes .
Trump is still afraid to denounce racists because he believes they ’ re on his side and will vote for him .
During a press briefing today , White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany managed to throw gasoline on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s John Roberts asked her for a “ definitive and declarative statement without ambiguity or deflection ” on whether or not President Trump denounces white supremacism .
Rather than answering the incredibly simple question directly , McEnany obfuscated and evaded .
Sign the petition to tell Mitch McConnell : No vote on a new Supreme Court Justice until after inauguration !
She claimed that Trump himself has repeatedly denounced white supremacy and reeled off a list of some of the incredibly milquetoast comments he ’ s made in the past about racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has “ condemned white supremacy more than any president in modern history.
” Her remarks were deeply unconvincing and stopped short of a simple , straightforward , and unequivocal statement that Trump does not want the support of racists .
Roberts pressed her for a clear statement that Trump denounces white supremacy .
“ I just did , ” she said , giving yet another slippery response .
“ The president has denounced this repeatedly , ” she claimed before accusing Roberts of “ contriving a storyline.
” Roberts pressed her again and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It was a truly bizarre performance that can only really be explained by presuming a desire on the part of the White House to continue winking at bigots .
They want their votes .

It was an embarrassing moment for the United States and a potent reminder of just how important the coming election really is. This country will never recover if subjected to four more years of this deranged man-child’s rule.
By far the worst moment of the debate was when Trump was pushed by Chris Wallace to condemn white supremacists. The president hemmed and hawed, speaking in circles until Biden asked him to denounce the Proud Boys—a violent neo-fascist organization that regularly engages in violence against peaceful protestors—at which point Trump told the group to “stand back and stand by.”
In other words, not only did Trump refuse to condemn white supremacy, he ordered a far-right paramilitary group to “stand by,” presumably for further orders. The disturbing moment was met with widespread alarm and condemnation.
Chris Wallace: "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down…" Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left." pic.twitter.com/4vrPocKzcu — Axios (@axios) September 30, 2020
Trump made a lukewarm attempt at damage control yesterday by claiming that he doesn’t know who the Proud Boys are, a dubious claim at best. The fact that he didn’t take the most obvious approach by saying he misspoke in the moment and that he condemns the Proud Boys and white supremacists all over, speaks volumes. Trump is still afraid to denounce racists because he believes they’re on his side and will vote for him.
During a press briefing today, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany managed to throw gasoline on the fire of the growing scandal. Fox’s John Roberts asked her for a “definitive and declarative statement without ambiguity or deflection” on whether or not President Trump denounces white supremacism. Rather than answering the incredibly simple question directly, McEnany obfuscated and evaded.

Roberts pressed her for a clear statement that Trump denounces white supremacy.
“I just did,” she said, giving yet another slippery response. “The president has denounced this repeatedly,” she claimed before accusing Roberts of “contriving a storyline.” Roberts pressed her again and again she insisted that she already had. It was a truly bizarre performance that can only really be explained by presuming a desire on the part of the White House to continue winking at bigots. They want their votes.

occupydemocrats--2020-10-02--A Trump tweet encouraging Obama to contract Ebola has come back to haunt him

The President of the United States—a man who misled the American public about the risks of the coronavirus pandemic , who mocked the wearing of masks , and who directly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans through sheer apathy and incompetence—has COVID-19 .
Trump made the announcement on Twitter last night , adding that First Lady Melania has also contracted the oft-deadly virus .
Republicans , always eager to engage in bad faith discussions given the opportunity , immediately began scolding liberals , saying that we should all be wishing the president well .
The same president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in hell shortly after his death is now entitled to unconditional sympathy according to the GOP .
If , as someone who has watched this evil man inflict unimaginable cruelty on the most vulnerable elements of our society for the past four years , you ’ re struggling to muster any desire for Trump to recover from his illness consider the coming election .
It ’ s absolutely crucial that Trump get better so that Joe Biden can demolish him in November .
Only then will the American people be able to send @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not defined by Trumpism , that we want better for ourselves and the world .
An electoral drubbing also has the added advantage of humiliating Trump .
Anything less than that is letting him off easy .
Sign the petition to tell Mitch McConnell : No vote on a new Supreme Court Justice until after inauguration !
That said , genuine sympathy can not be expected , especially when one considers this president ’ s behavior .
Imagine for a moment the kind of oblique gloating Trump would be engaged in right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had COVID-19 .
His surrogates would be hammering the Democratic nominee , claiming that the virus means he is too physically weak to assume office .
Recall the manner in which they harped on and on about Hillary Clinton ’ s health in the leadup to the 2016 election .
In fact , there ’ s no need to speculate how Trump would discuss a political enemy ’ s health in a similar situation because there ’ s a tweet .
In 2014 , Trump tweeted that President Obama had a “ personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American who contracted Ebola .
In other words , Trump publicly fantasized about Obama catching Ebola .
Can we please stop pretending this man deserves anything but our disdain ?

The President of the United States—a man who misled the American public about the risks of the coronavirus pandemic, who mocked the wearing of masks, and who directly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans through sheer apathy and incompetence—has COVID-19. Trump made the announcement on Twitter last night, adding that First Lady Melania has also contracted the oft-deadly virus.
Republicans, always eager to engage in bad faith discussions given the opportunity, immediately began scolding liberals, saying that we should all be wishing the president well. The same president who speculated that a political enemy was in hell shortly after his death is now entitled to unconditional sympathy according to the GOP.
If, as someone who has watched this evil man inflict unimaginable cruelty on the most vulnerable elements of our society for the past four years, you’re struggling to muster any desire for Trump to recover from his illness consider the coming election. It’s absolutely crucial that Trump get better so that Joe Biden can demolish him in November. Only then will the American people be able to send a signal to other nations that we are not defined by Trumpism, that we want better for ourselves and the world. An electoral drubbing also has the added advantage of humiliating Trump. Anything less than that is letting him off easy.

That said, genuine sympathy cannot be expected, especially when one considers this president’s behavior. Imagine for a moment the kind of oblique gloating Trump would be engaged in right now if it was Joe Biden who had COVID-19. His surrogates would be hammering the Democratic nominee, claiming that the virus means he is too physically weak to assume office. Recall the manner in which they harped on and on about Hillary Clinton’s health in the leadup to the 2016 election.
In fact, there’s no need to speculate how Trump would discuss a political enemy’s health in a similar situation because there’s a tweet. In 2014, Trump tweeted that President Obama had a “personal responsibility to visit & embrace” every American who contracted Ebola. In other words, Trump publicly fantasized about Obama catching Ebola. Can we please stop pretending this man deserves anything but our disdain?

occupydemocrats--2020-10-02--Pelosi shades Trump for his reckless COVID-19 behavior in response to his diagnosis

Last night President Trump announced via Twitter that he and First Lady Melania have contracted COVID-19 .
Regardless of one ’ s feelings on the development , it ’ s difficult to argue that it ’ s surprising given his oft-articulated disdain for masks .
One also can ’ t help but wonder if his contracting of the virus will finally convince his more deranged followers that the coronavirus is real and that health precautions against it must be taken seriously .
The man who once dismissed the pandemic as a Democratic “ hoax ” has now proven that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all be wishing this vile president a speedy recovery if for no other reason than that it will allow Biden to defeat him at the ballot box and send the world a strong message that America rejects Trumpism and all the cruelty and hatred it represents .
A landslide victory for Biden against Trump is the first , most crucial step towards rebuilding the United States ’ reputation on the world stage .
Anything else than a humiliating electoral defeat would be the easy way out for Trump .
Responses to Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last night and now Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) has weighed in .
She said that she “ received the news with great sadness ” and that she is praying for the safety of Trump and his family .
She went on to say that she hopes this moment will help people recognize the pressing need for the HEROES Act , a Democratic COVID-19 stimulus package passed by the House of Representatives and held up by the GOP-controlled Senate .

“ So maybe now that people who see the President of the United States with all the protection that he has and the First Lady still having this exposure it might be , as you say , a learning experience , ” said Pelosi .
“ But more than learning it has to be something that is acted upon , ” she went on .
“ This is tragic .
It ’ s very sad .
But it also is something that again going into crowds unmasked and all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invitation for something like this to happen .
Sad that it did , but nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about .
As usual , Pelosi delivered a blend of compassion and blunt truth .

occupydemocrats--2020-10-02--Conservative hypocrites weep and moan about how mean Democrats are after Trump’s test

Last night , America received the stunning news that President Donald Trump and his wife Melania have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus .
A most appropriate turn of events considering the lengths to which Donald Trump and his administration have gone to downplay the severity of the virus and deliberately exacerbated a pandemic that has killed over 200,000 Americans , it was almost inevitable given the President ’ s reckless refusal to employ proper safety precautions and continue holding his super-spreader rally events across the country .
Given how the President was mocking Joe Biden for wearing his mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the vicious partisanship the President has shown when it came to coronavirus relief , it is understandable that liberals and progressives were largely less than sympathetic for the President and the infected members of his staff .
But that hasn ’ t stopped the outrageous hypocrites on the right-wing from crying about how mean the “ left-wing ” is being about the president ’ s diagnosis .
The Federalist co-founder and rabid libertarian extremist Sean Davis got all huffy and puffy that Joe Biden hasn ’ t dEnOuNcEd the millions of random @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demand of a candidate who is not responsible for the behavior of every person who supports him and for a man who runs the Federalist , which is an absolutely psychotic right-wing publication that churns out wildly bigoted anti-LGBT propaganda , justifies police murders and defended militia murderer Kyle Rittenhouse .
For the record , Joe Biden and the vast majority of Democrats have issued thoughts and prayers for the President ’ s health .
Disgraced ex-NRA spokesman Dan Bongino got mad that FOX host Chris Wallace , who Trump was extremely rude @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago , wasn ’ t being enthusiastic enough with his sorrow over the president ’ s diagnosis , accusing him of “ politicizing it ” during a segment in which he pointed out that President Trump ’ s coronavirus advisor Dr. Atlas is not a real epidemiologist .
“ These people are really sick !
” whines Robby Starbuck , a right-wing media personality who spends his days screaming that the Fake News Media and Antifa Terrorists are destroying the country and falsely accused one of the protesters murdered by Kyle Rittenhouse to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ petition to tell Mitch McConnell : No vote on a new Supreme Court Justice until after inauguration !
“ Leftists are HYPERVENTILATING !
” complains Paul Joseph Watson , who works for Alex Jones ’ InfoWars and is an unrepentant racist , anti-feminist , and Islamophobe who promotes dangerous conspiracy theories .
The hypocrisy of the right-wing was put on full display by one of their own members : Just yesterday , the fanatical cultists of the QAnon conspiracy were barraging model Chrissy Teigen with harassment and hatred for posting a picture of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ miscarriage and the loss of her son Jack .
These zealots believe , without evidence , that she and her husband are part of a child-harvesting pedophile cult .
There is almost nothing in modern conservatism that is not predicated on hatred or malicious intent against other people .
Republican policies heap hardship and suffering on America ’ s workers while their rhetoric demonizes and discriminates against vulnerable minorities out of spite , envy , and ignorance .
Their deportation thugs separate children from their parents , sexually assault immigrant women , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terrorize the innocent and right-wing incel anti-feminists massacre our schoolchildren with the assault rifles they treasure so dearly .
200,000 people are dead because of greed of the capital and its servants , too concerned for their own wealth to take the measures that we needed to save lives .
For them to suddenly weep and moan about how mean we are is the highest of hypocrisy .
You don ’ t get to complain about other people being mean when your entire political ideology is devoted to harming people for your own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump talking about separated children , give me a fucking break .

Mayer declined to identify the assistant at her request, letting her sources and the suppressed legal complaint she never filed do the talking, while fielding and dismissing Guilefoyle’s agents making good on her threats of retaliation when she got exposed.
When Kimberly Guilfoyle’s bribe or blackmail effort failed, she “debuted at the White House” as Don Jr.’s rebound relationship just weeks before losing her job at Fox, two summers ago. Guilfoyle made the career switch from opinion journalism into a new line of work at America First Action, Trump’s main Super PAC. Eventually, she moved over to the campaign itself a senior advisor to its wife-beating former campaign manager Brad Parscale.
Eventually, the Trumps made her a well-paid fundraiser and Chairperson of the Trump 2020 Victory fund, a joint effort with the national Republican party where “her management style and that of some of her aides have alienated others.”
Last month, she gave a memorably unhinged speech on the first night of the Republican National Convention, which Mother Jones appropriately paired with North Korean propaganda. Kimberly Guilfoyle described herself as the daughter of immigrants, even though her mother is an American citizen from Puerto Rico and not an immigrant.
Her other half, Don Jr. gave a similarly bizarre speech which caused Twitter users to make the hashtag #CocaineConvention trend for the next day. As of late, Guilfoyle has been leading Women for Trump rallies across the country.
Amazingly, all of the above has added up to Kimberly Guilfoyle being entertained as the next Chairperson of the Republican National Committee, replacing Utah Senator Mitt Romney’s niece.
Today’s revelations about Kimberly Guilfoyle getting caught engaging in a crude, workplace sexual harassment affair with a woman that covered up at Fox News shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone following the right-wing disinformation network’s travails, or her turbulent exit.
But Don Jr.’s girlfriend’s engagement in a failed hush-money payoff and naked extortion scheme reveals her to be a shockingly appropriate mate for him.


occupydemocrats--2020-10-03--New report claims that Trump kept asking if he was going to die while on his way to hospital

As the confusion over the actual state of Donald Trump’s current medical prognosis remained unclear on Saturday, new information from Vanity Fair journalist Gabriel Sherman points to the idea that the president’s condition has been worse than previously described.
The uncertainty over which account to believe started after Dr. Sean Conley, Trump’s personal White House physician, told reporters at a medical press conference today that the president was not having any difficulty breathing nor was he currently being administered oxygen. Concurrently, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was said to be telling reporters off the record that Trump’s vital signs “were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.”
“We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery,” Meadows, who was overheard asking to speak to reporters off the record, earlier in the day, reportedly said.
Gabriel Sherman worked his sources in the upper echelons of the GOP and posted this tweet which portrays a frightened president asking his aides if he was going to die in the hospital as his close friend Stan Chera did earlier this year after contracting the disease in New York.
Conversations w Republicans close to WH over last 12 hours indicate it’s been far more dire than WH has said. Before being taken to Walter Reed, Trump kept asking aides, “Am I going out like Stan Chera? Am I?” (Chera was Trump’s NYC friend who died of Covid in April) — Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) October 3, 2020
Sherman further reveals that one source told him that Trump was given the choice of voluntarily being taken to Walter Reed Medical Center while he was still ambulatory, or risk being carried out later by EMT workers if his condition worsened.
Per source, Trump was told on Friday he could go to Walter Reed voluntarily, but he would be taken no matter what when his condition worsened. Doctors told Trump if he waited he could lose ability to walk to Marine One (optics of a wheelchair or stretcher obvs would be terrible) — Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) October 3, 2020
It’s now no surprise that Trump opted to take the less publicly embarrassing step of leaving under his own foot power rather than being seen in a weak and vulnerable position, one that his fragile ego wouldn’t allow him to display himself in such a powerless posture.
Sherman also posited another reason that Trump (or his political handlers) may be less than candid about his true health right now: the threat of the invocation of the 25th Amendment which would temporarily hand the presidency to Vice President Mike Pence.
One reason Trump could be withholding truth of his condition: he doesn’t want calls for transfer of power to grow. At what point does Cabinet consider 25th amendment? — Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) October 3, 2020

occupydemocrats--2020-10-03--Trump tweets from his hospital bed in first social media posts since he was brought to Walter Reed

Despite the varying reports of his current medical condition , Donald Trump somehow managed to get ahold of a phone and post to Twitter today .
While Trump ’ s physician Dr. Sean Conley told reporters at a medical press conference today that the president was not having any difficulty breathing nor was he being administered oxygen currently , another source close to the White House — rumored to be Trump ’ s chief of staff Mark Meadows — told reporters off the record that Trump ’ s vital signs “ were very concerning and the next 48 hours will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We ’ re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.
” Despite the confusion over the president ’ s condition , or perhaps because of it , Trump posted to Twitter a congratulatory tweet thanking the staff at the Walter Reed Medical Center where he is being treated and claiming to feel “ well.
” The tweet helped revive the president ’ s moribund feed which has dwindled to a couple of tweets per day — after normally being filled with an avalanche of daily original posts and retweets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initially revealed on Thursday evening .
While his first tweet of the day concerned his medical condition , Trump returned to political hectoring with his second and only other tweet of the day so far with a post urging Congress to pass a pandemic stimulus bill .
While Trump ’ s tweet should have rightfully been sent as a direct message to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who has refused to even consider the generous stimulus legislation delivered to him by House Democrats , the fact that Trump may have some new perspective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospital bed , may mean that the American people most affected by the pandemic ’ s economic downturn may finally be closer to getting additional relief .
No matter what you decide to believe about Donald Trump ’ s current medical condition and prognosis , the very act of tweeting — or at least directing someone else to post on his behalf — shows that the president is still somewhat alert , if not of sound mind .
Hopefully , we ’ ll have better info about the president ’ s condition as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we can use his now infrequent social media posts as a measure of his health , since it ’ s all we have right now .

While Trump’s physician Dr. Sean Conley told reporters at a medical press conference today that the president was not having any difficulty breathing nor was he being administered oxygen currently, another source close to the White House — rumored to be Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows — told reporters off the record that Trump’s vital signs “were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”
Appears WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows spoke to reporters & contradicted President’s doctor by saying Trump vitals over last 24 hrs were very concerning. Doesn’t give confidence that Chief of Staff wants to be anonymous or that WH & med teams can’t keep story straight. https://t.co/UWnEq4jgih — Paula Reid (@PaulaReidCBS) October 3, 2020
Despite the confusion over the president’s condition, or perhaps because of it, Trump posted to Twitter a congratulatory tweet thanking the staff at the Walter Reed Medical Center where he is being treated and claiming to feel “well.”
Doctors, Nurses and ALL at the GREAT Walter Reed Medical Center, and others from likewise incredible institutions who have joined them, are AMAZING!!!Tremendous progress has been made over the last 6 months in fighting this PLAGUE. With their help, I am feeling well! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 3, 2020
The tweet helped revive the president’s moribund feed which has dwindled to a couple of tweets per day — after normally being filled with an avalanche of daily original posts and retweets — since Trump’s diagnosis was initially revealed on Thursday evening.
While his first tweet of the day concerned his medical condition, Trump returned to political hectoring with his second and only other tweet of the day so far with a post urging Congress to pass a pandemic stimulus bill.
OUR GREAT USA WANTS & NEEDS STIMULUS. WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE. Thank you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 3, 2020
While Trump’s tweet should have rightfully been sent as a direct message to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who has refused to even consider the generous stimulus legislation delivered to him by House Democrats, the fact that Trump may have some new perspective on the COVID-19 crisis while in his hospital bed, may mean that the American people most affected by the pandemic’s economic downturn may finally be closer to getting additional relief.
No matter what you decide to believe about Donald Trump’s current medical condition and prognosis, the very act of tweeting — or at least directing someone else to post on his behalf — shows that the president is still somewhat alert, if not of sound mind.
Hopefully, we’ll have better info about the president’s condition as the day progresses. In the meantime, we can use his now infrequent social media posts as a measure of his health, since it’s all we have right now.

occupydemocrats--2020-10-03--Chris Christie and Senator Ron Johnson diagnosed with COVID-19 as GOP victim list grows

The Trump administration ’ s reckless and incompetent handling of coronavirus safety protocols both at the White House and on the campaign trail claimed additional victims today as Donald Trump lays in his hospital bed at Walter Reed Medical Center this morning .
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced this morning via Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID-19 .
Christie was among the numerous Republican political figures who have spent time with the president in person during the past week , having worked with Trump on the preparation for his shambolic presidential debate with former Vice President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White House event for Judge Amy Coney Barrett in the Rose Garden last weekend .
Whether the president himself or his advisor Hope Hicks was the source of the viral infection remains unknown , however , given the number of people who have come into contact with senior Republican officials in the past week , it seems as if the White House and the Trump campaign have reached superspreader status .
In addition to Chris Christie — whose considerable girth puts him at particular risk for serious co-morbidities that could result in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its way into the body of Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien , putting the president ’ s entire campaign in a precarious position with just one month left before election day .
Stepien is reportedly experiencing mild flu-like symptoms and plans to continue working on the campaign remotely from quarantine for now .
Sign the petition to tell Mitch McConnell : No vote on a new Supreme Court Justice until after inauguration !
Yet another senior Republican politician who announced a positive diagnosis today was Senator Ron Johnson ( R-WI ) who joins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thom Tillis ( R-NC ) on the list of those GOP senators who have contracted COVID-19 .
Johnson ’ s diagnosis likely has Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-KY ) very nervous over the potential disruption of his plans to ram through the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court seat opened by the lamentable passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg .
With two female Republican Senators — Lisa Murkowski ( R-AK ) and Susan Collins ( R-ME ) — already having gone on record as opposing any vote on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the winner of the November election , and three Senators in quarantine , McConnell is realizing that he may not have enough votes to confirm Barrett before election day since Senate rules require that senators be present in the chamber for any votes .
McConnell also faces the prospect of additional GOP senators falling ill with COVID-19 because of the general partisan antipathy towards face masks that the members of his party have displayed and because of Senate Republicans ’ practice of meeting three times a week for lunch where they co-mingle with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These latest coronavirus cases in the Republican ranks on the eve of the election , coming after yesterday ’ s reports that former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Rona McDaniel have also both contracted the virus , raises serious questions about the ability of the Trump campaign to move from its lagging positions in the polls so close to election day .
With Trump himself still at Walter Reed and reportedly continuing to exhibit symptoms serious enough for him to have been taken there to begin with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a referendum on the president ’ s handling of the pandemic may ultimately be decided on COVID-19 ’ s own terms .
It would be an ironically fitting Hollywood ending for the inevitable Donald Trump bio movie .
Let ’ s hope that there is no sequel .

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced this morning via Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID-19.
I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19. I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two. I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition. — Governor Christie (@GovChristie) October 3, 2020

Stepien is reportedly experiencing mild flu-like symptoms and plans to continue working on the campaign remotely from quarantine for now.

occupydemocrats--2020-10-04--Trump briefly escapes hospital captivity to go on a joyride to wave to supporters

You already knew that Donald Trump cares about no one other than himself .
His behavior during his entire adult life provides ample proof that our current president is as self-centered and narcissistic as a human being could possibly be .
Just in case you are the least bit skeptical of that proposition or you think that a confrontation with mortality may have altered Trump ’ s deep-rooted selfishness , an incident today should confirm the fact that our president is a colossal piece of…well , let ’ s just say work to keep things clean .
According to NBC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the confines of Walter Reed Medical Center — where he was taken on Friday “ out of an abundance of caution , ” as his press secretary initially described it — and piled into a presidential limo to briefly greet the crowds of well-wishers who had gathered outside the hospital .
The surprise visit came after the president telegraphed his intentions in two Twitter posts earlier in the day .
The first one was a simple thanks written thanks to his supporters who had gathered outside the hospital , sent in the early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a more politically orchestrated scheme afoot , a video from Trump ’ s hospital quarters likely made to counter any questions about his current condition due to the conflicting reports between what his doctors have announced to the press as substantial progress against his COVID-19 infection and the more gloomy account of his symptoms provided off the record by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows .
Apparently , the president is in good enough condition to continue making campaign videos while still in the hospital , so he naturally thought that a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followers was perfectly fine .
With substantial skepticism already pervading social media platforms over whether the president ’ s diagnosis was real or a political stunt to draw attention away fro his disastrous debate performance and refusal to condemn white supremacy , perhaps acting as if one were never sick is not the best idea for maintaining credibility , particularly in light of the conflicting accounts of the progress of the virus has been making in his body , which , if you believe his doctors , has been as successful in overcoming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president himself has been in building his border wall .
Once Twitter denizens saw the account of Trump ’ s ego-gratifying exercise , a likely replacement in his mind for the superspreader circus of his canceled weekend campaign rallies , they pointed out just how willing the president is to endanger the health of his Secret Service staff , reportedly already hard hit by the virus during the pandemic , while feeding his narcissism .
Of course , there is only a danger to the Secret Service if Trump actually has COVID-19 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ recovery after just a couple of days raised suspicions among some people that the entire diagnosis was a political sham for a president trailing badly in his re-election polls .
Presumably , Trump returned to the hospital after he had absorbed enough adulation to help him live through until the next day .
If that ’ s what it takes to keep him alive to witness his massive defeat at the hands of Joe Biden in the election , then by all means let him go ahead .
Except next time make him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and spare the Secret Sevice the risk of infection — unless of course , the secret is that he ’ s made this entire medical scare up as a campaign ploy .
We should soon see how real the diagnosis is .
If Trump is indeed discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center tomorrow as his doctors suggested today , the brief length of his hospitalization will bring his condition under heavy scrutiny .
You can watch footage of Donald Trump ’ s narcissistic afternoon joyride in the video clip below .
We want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

According to NBC News, Trump pulled a runner from the confines of Walter Reed Medical Center — where he was taken on Friday “out of an abundance of caution,” as his press secretary initially described it — and piled into a presidential limo to briefly greet the crowds of well-wishers who had gathered outside the hospital.
The surprise visit came after the president telegraphed his intentions in two Twitter posts earlier in the day.
The first one was a simple thanks written thanks to his supporters who had gathered outside the hospital, sent in the early afternoon.
I really appreciate all of the fans and supporters outside of the hospital. The fact is, they really love our Country and are seeing how we are MAKING IT GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 4, 2020
The second post hinted at a more politically orchestrated scheme afoot, a video from Trump’s hospital quarters likely made to counter any questions about his current condition due to the conflicting reports between what his doctors have announced to the press as substantial progress against his COVID-19 infection and the more gloomy account of his symptoms provided off the record by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Apparently, the president is in good enough condition to continue making campaign videos while still in the hospital, so he naturally thought that a quick joy ride to greet his fanatical followers was perfectly fine.

Once Twitter denizens saw the account of Trump’s ego-gratifying exercise, a likely replacement in his mind for the superspreader circus of his canceled weekend campaign rallies, they pointed out just how willing the president is to endanger the health of his Secret Service staff, reportedly already hard hit by the virus during the pandemic, while feeding his narcissism.
Thinking of the Secret Service members who are in the vehicle and their families. Wildly irresponsible and dangerous. https://t.co/O0vItCryMT — Ben Jealous (@BenJealous) October 4, 2020

Of course, there is only a danger to the Secret Service if Trump actually has COVID-19. The fact of his seemingly miraculously speedy recovery after just a couple of days raised suspicions among some people that the entire diagnosis was a political sham for a president trailing badly in his re-election polls.
Its all staged. Feeling for those that are hospitalized and not able to have family by there side due to Covid and he is able to leave the hospital. What a joke… — Navydad (@Navydad12) October 4, 2020
Presumably, Trump returned to the hospital after he had absorbed enough adulation to help him live through until the next day.
If that’s what it takes to keep him alive to witness his massive defeat at the hands of Joe Biden in the election, then by all means let him go ahead.
Except next time make him drive the hermetically-sealed virus incubation vehicle himself and spare the Secret Sevice the risk of infection — unless of course, the secret is that he’s made this entire medical scare up as a campaign ploy.
We should soon see how real the diagnosis is.
If Trump is indeed discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center tomorrow as his doctors suggested today, the brief length of his hospitalization will bring his condition under heavy scrutiny.
