thelibertydaily--2020-02-19--DOJ Is Investigating If Obama Regime Hid Evidence Of Russia Election Interference

A New York Times report indicates officials at the Department of Justice are investigating whether Obama-era officials hid or manipulated intelligence related to Russian election meddling .
Obama officials hid evidence The investigation is being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham , who has previously scrutinized intelligence community issues under both Republican and Democrat administrations .
The focus allegedly involves the intelligence community ’ s conclusion Russia had not just tried to create chaos in the 2016 election , but that they were all in for President Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton .
Durham , according to the Times , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to keep other agencies from seeing the full picture lest they interfere with that goal , ” a goal to prove that Russia ’ s interference was designed to benefit Trump .
Also of interest in the New York Times report is a revelation that different intelligence agency officials were warring over access to emails hacked by the Russian government .
Emails , including Obama ’ s .
“ Officials also differed over access to unclassified emails of American officials that the Russian government had previously hacked , ” they write .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had obtained its own copy of the stolen messages , ” which “ included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress.
” Obama ’ s White House lawyer cited executive privilege in keeping drives with those stolen messages from being opened .
Obama Did Little to Stop Russian Election Interference For quite some time , the fact that Obama and his administration did very little to stop Russian interference in the election was based on the thought that they assumed Hillary was going to win regardless .
What if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they actually thought she was going to lose and instead went into crisis mode trying to create the narrative that would later emerge ?
An ‘ insurance policy ’ of sorts .
Remember , it was Obama ’ s former National Security Advisor Susan Rice , according to a 2018 book , who reportedly issued a ‘ stand-down ’ order to officials developing plans to respond to Russian election meddling attempts in 2016 .
According to Russian Roulette : The Inside Story of Putin ’ s War on America and the Election of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National Security Council ( NSC ) who were trying to punish Russia strict orders to “ stand down ” and “ knock it off.
” Texas congressman John Ratcliffe , at a House Judiciary Committee meeting in December , responded to a challenge to defend foreign interference in our elections simply by pointing out it was Obama who did so first .
“ Have you that quickly forgotten how the Trump/Russia investigation proceeded ?
” he continued .
“ The Obama administration asked Great Britain and Italy and Australia and other countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person who was a political opponent from the opposite party.
” Could they also have been involved in “ hiding evidence or manipulating analysis ” to paint a particular narrative about President Trump and Russia ?
Officials from the FBI and NSA say no , and have told Durham that his interpretation of the handling of information across agencies “ is wrong and based on a misunderstanding of how the intelligence community functions.
” Perhaps we ’ ll know more when Durham completes his investigation .

Durham, according to the Times, may believe Brennan “was nefariously trying to keep other agencies from seeing the full picture lest they interfere with that goal,” a goal to prove that Russia’s interference was designed to benefit Trump.
Durham's line of questioning appears aimed at understanding how US intelligence analysts reached their conclusions and whether the CIA played a role in fueling suspicions at the FBI about Trump and Russia https://t.co/BcEDW0aZda — Jack Posobiec ?? (@JackPosobiec) February 14, 2020
Obama Was Hacked
Also of interest in the New York Times report is a revelation that different intelligence agency officials were warring over access to emails hacked by the Russian government. Emails, including Obama’s.
“Officials also differed over access to unclassified emails of American officials that the Russian government had previously hacked,” they write.
“A foreign ally’s intelligence service had obtained its own copy of the stolen messages,” which “included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress.”
Obama’s White House lawyer cited executive privilege in keeping drives with those stolen messages from being opened.
Multiple foreign governments hacked Barack Obama’s email while he was president, which could explain why James Comey was so eager to make the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s illegal private email scheme go away. https://t.co/lle1t2u08b — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 13, 2020
Obama Did Little to Stop Russian Election Interference
For quite some time, the fact that Obama and his administration did very little to stop Russian interference in the election was based on the thought that they assumed Hillary was going to win regardless.
What if, and this is just speculation, they actually thought she was going to lose and instead went into crisis mode trying to create the narrative that would later emerge? An ‘insurance policy’ of sorts.
Remember, it was Obama’s former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, according to a 2018 book, who reportedly issued a ‘stand-down’ order to officials developing plans to respond to Russian election meddling attempts in 2016.
According to Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, Rice gave officials at the National Security Council (NSC) who were trying to punish Russia strict orders to “stand down” and “knock it off.”
Mother Jones reports, “It was a debate that would culminate that summer with a dramatic directive from President Barack Obama’s national security adviser to the NSC staffers developing aggressive proposals to strike back against the Russians: ‘Stand down.’”
Texas congressman John Ratcliffe, at a House Judiciary Committee meeting in December, responded to a challenge to defend foreign interference in our elections simply by pointing out it was Obama who did so first.
“Have you that quickly forgotten how the Trump/Russia investigation proceeded?” he continued. “The Obama administration asked Great Britain and Italy and Australia and other countries to assist in its investigation of a person who was a political opponent from the opposite party.”
Could they also have been involved in “hiding evidence or manipulating analysis” to paint a particular narrative about President Trump and Russia?
Officials from the FBI and NSA say no, and have told Durham that his interpretation of the handling of information across agencies “is wrong and based on a misunderstanding of how the intelligence community functions.”
Perhaps we’ll know more when Durham completes his investigation.

thelibertydaily--2020-02-19--Sodomite Pete Buttplug Trashes Christians Who Support President Trump

Former South Bend , Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg attacked President Donald Trump 's Christian supporters during his town hall with CNN on Tuesday .
According to Mayor Pete , he ca n't seem to understand how Christians support President Trump .
`` To the point , you 've talked about God not belonging to any kind of political party , '' CNN 's Erin Burnette started .
`` At the last CNN town hall you said if your faith calls upon you to help the marginalized , those who are afflicted , to comfort people , to strive for humility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does , and I quote , 'Then I just ca n't imagine that that requires of you be anywhere near this president . '
Do you think it is impossible to be a Christian and support President Trump ? ''
`` Well , I 'm not going to tell other Christians how to be Christians , '' Buttigieg replied .
`` But I will say , I can not find any compatibility between the way this president conducts himself and anything that I find in scripture .
Now I guess that 's my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of people 's interpretation and that interpretation deserves a voice . ''
One of the most irritating things about Buttigieg is his ability to pander and use his Christian faith to do it .
He cherry-picks what he believes depending on when it 's convenient for him .
He plays the Christian card yet Romans 1:24-27 talks explicitly about homosexuality : Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness , in the lusts of their hearts , to dishonor their bodies among themselves , who exchanged the truth of God for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ creature rather than the Creator , who is blessed forever .
Amen .
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions .
For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature .
Likewise also the men , leaving the natural use of the woman , burned in their lust for one another , men with men committing what is shameful , and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due .
He plays the Christian card but supports abortion even though babies are continually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as evidenced is Psalm 127:3-5 : Behold , children are a heritage from the Lord , The fruit of the womb is a reward .
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior , So are the children of one ’ s youth .
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them ; They shall not be ashamed , But shall speak with their enemies in the gate .
He plays the Christian card but supports illegal aliens , even though the Bible says those in authority positions are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and resisting those rules is resisting God , as described in Romans 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities .
For there is no authority except from God , and the authorities that exist are appointed by God .
Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God , and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves .
For rulers are not a terror to good works , but to evil .
Do you want to be unafraid of the authority ?
Do what is good , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For he is God ’ s minister to you for good .
But if you do evil , be afraid ; for he does not bear the sword in vain ; for he is God ’ s minister , an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil .
Therefore you must be subject , not only because of wrath but also for conscience ’ sake .
For because of this you also pay taxes , for they are God ’ s ministers attending continually to this very thing .
Render @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to whom taxes are due , customs to whom customs , fear to whom fear , honor to whom honor .
We could go on and on and on .
Try again , Pete .

But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good.

Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

After the Democratic primary, the eventual nominee will have to answer these questions regarding health care plans. Aside from the hefty price tags attached to each candidate's plan, government healthcare restricts consumer choice and causes millions of Americans to be kicked off of their health insurance.


thelibertydaily--2020-02-19--Sycophantic Millennial Journalist on MSNBC: Obama Made Voting ‘an Act of Love’

In the slanted world of Charlotte Alter , the “ center ” is liberal 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg and Barack Obama made voting an “ act of love.
” MSNBC on Tuesday brought on the Time magazine journalist to explain the state of millennials politics and how her generation will “ transform America.
” The book , The Ones We ’ ve Been Waiting For , pulls its title from a Barack Obama speech .
Tur , who is 36 , made no effort to check the biases of Alter , who is 36 .
Speaking of millennials and Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that Barack Obama was such a transformative figure for people .
And he was for many people our age the first president that they really got behind .
And he made voting into an act of love .
” It ’ s hard to argue with an act of love .
According to the Time journalist , this doesn ’ t bode well for Joe Biden or Michael Bloomberg : They think of [ voting ] as something they only do for something they care about and really believe in .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a Michael Bloomberg or a Joe Biden to attract millennial voters , because they do n't believe in them that much .
After Tur explained that democratic socialism “ is not a scary term ” for young people , Alter lectured that the word socialism no longer means what it actually means : One of the things I try to get at in this book is the extent to which 20th century attitudes that our parents and grandparents had , are sort of evolving and even crumbling into the 21st century .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ something different now than it did in the 1980s .
Another thing the book is about , apparently , is that Buttigieg is now the “ middle ” and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now the left : One of the things this book is about is the swing from the center right politics in the 1980s and '90s , that was defined by Reagan on one side and Clinton on the other .
It 's kind of swinging back to the left .
A style of politics that may be defined by AOC on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pete Buttigieg in the middle .
Alter is the same journalist who was mocked for saying that millennials like her had “ never experienced American prosperity.
” For the record , she went to Harvard and is the daughter of best selling author Jonathan Alter .
Sounds like prosperity , right ?
In 2019 , Alter wrote a fawning Time cover story on Ocasio-Cortez , calling her a “ phenom ” and “ the best storyeller in the party.

So , Charlotte , I picked this book up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it down , which I think is the best endorsement you can give any piece of reading material .
also found it really not only inspiring , but also kind of hit home for me because I 'm a millennial , and the events that you base this book around are events that I experienced when I was basically the same age as many of these — as many of the people you profiled .
Tell me , what did you learn about millennials and what they want ?
CHARLOTTE ALTER : So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Social scientists have found that people actually base their politics on the events that they experienced in early adulthood .
And once you reach kind of your late 30s , early 40s , really even your mid 30s , most of your attitudes are set .
So it 's not really about being young or being old .
It 's what events shaped your perception of America and its role in the world ?
For a lot of people our age it was 9/11 , the great recession , the wars that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people our age skeptical of foreign interference abroad .
TUR : Has n't been an optimistic few decades .
ALTER : No , it 's not been great .
But in there you had the election of Barack Obama , which was utterly transformational for a lot of millennials .
And then you have these leader-ful , social movements that have kind of given rise to the progressive movement as we know it now and have really rooted millennial activism in this kind of networked , non-hierarchal structure that helps us understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents did .
TUR : How do they see — and this is — you do n't only profile Democrats .
Elise Stefanik is in it .
Dan Crenshaw is in it as well .
But generally , you found that most millennials are more progressive than baby boomers or even Generation X , if I 'm not mistaken .
How has that shaped what they 're looking for and what they will lead , how they will lead in the future ?
Democratic socialism is not a scary term for them ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the things I try to get at in this book is the extent to which 20th century attitudes that our parents and grandparents had , are sort of evolving and even crumbling into the 21st century .
So , for example , socialism means something different now than it did in the 1980s .
And , again , the oldest millennials were 8 or 9 when the Berlin wall fell .
So , they do n't have any of that Cold War context around socialism that our parents and grandparents might .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ around foreign interference , attitudes around morality , the morality of the Christian right in particular , even the Republicans I spoke to seem to have kind of moved on from the issue of marriage equality .
They 're just like , “ That ’ s over .

Let ’ s move on.

It 's not something that the greatest generation had to deal with .
People were n't going to college at the same numbers they are now .
ALTER : Yeah .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1964 , tuition cost $ 360 .

A partial transcript is below:
MSNBC Live
2/18/2020
2:45 PM ET
KATY TUR: Americans born between 1980 and 1996 have a much different outlook on life and this country. Columbine, September 11th and the great recession shaped their world view. Now in their mid 20s to late 30s, this new generation is not only starting to make its political will known, it is also starting to take on leadership roles. The new book The Ones We've Been Waiting For contrasts two of the nation’s youngest politicians, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “Just as Pete had rooted his campaign in his experience of 9/11, school shootings and the war on terror, AOC rooted her endorsement of Sanders in her own experience as a working class millennial waitress with student debt.” The book features a list of 10 millennial, including members of Congress, Representatives, alumni of the Obama White House and representatives from city and state government.
Joining me now, Time magazine national correspondent, Charlotte Alter. She is the author of the new book The Ones We Have Been Waiting For: How a New Generation of Leaders Will Transform America. So, Charlotte, I picked this book up and I had a hard time putting it down, which I think is the best endorsement you can give any piece of reading material. also found it really not only inspiring, but also kind of hit home for me because I'm a millennial, and the events that you base this book around are events that I experienced when I was basically the same age as many of these — as many of the people you profiled. Tell me, what did you learn about millennials and what they want?
CHARLOTTE ALTER: So this is exactly the point, right? Social scientists have found that people actually base their politics on the events that they experienced in early adulthood. And once you reach kind of your late 30s, early 40s, really even your mid 30s, most of your attitudes are set. So it's not really about being young or being old. It's what events shaped your perception of America and its role in the world? For a lot of people our age it was 9/11, the great recession, the wars that followed 9/11, which made a lot of people our age skeptical of foreign interference abroad.
TUR: Hasn't been an optimistic few decades.
ALTER: No, it's not been great. But in there you had the election of Barack Obama, which was utterly transformational for a lot of millennials. And then you have these leader-ful, social movements that have kind of given rise to the progressive movement as we know it now and have really rooted millennial activism in this kind of networked, non-hierarchal structure that helps us understand how they see power differently than their parents did.
TUR: How do they see — and this is — you don't only profile Democrats. Elise Stefanik is in it. Dan Crenshaw is in it as well. But generally, you found that most millennials are more progressive than baby boomers or even Generation X, if I'm not mistaken. How has that shaped what they're looking for and what they will lead, how they will lead in the future? Democratic socialism is not a scary term for them?
ALTER: Exactly. So, one of the things I try to get at in this book is the extent to which 20th century attitudes that our parents and grandparents had, are sort of evolving and even crumbling into the 21st century. So, for example, socialism means something different now than it did in the 1980s. And, again, the oldest millennials were 8 or 9 when the Berlin wall fell. So, they don't have any of that Cold War context around socialism that our parents and grandparents might. Attitudes around the free market, attitudes around foreign interference, attitudes around morality, the morality of the Christian right in particular, even the Republicans I spoke to seem to have kind of moved on from the issue of marriage equality. They're just like, “That’s over. That’s settled. You know, we’re great with marriage quality. Let’s move on.” There are certain issues, for example, climate change, racial equality and marriage equality, in particular, that millennial Democrats and Republicans seem to be agreeing on.
TUR: They’re also dealing with, people of our generation, crushing student debt, which is why you see AOC talking about what it means to go to college, what it means to be paying for college for the rest of your life. That is not something that baby boomers had to deal with. It's not something that the greatest generation had to deal with. People weren't going to college at the same numbers they are now.
ALTER: Yeah. When Mitch McConnell graduated from college in 1964, tuition cost $360. So the sheer cost of college has gone way up and $360. So just the sheer cost of college has gone way up. And the funding for public universities has gone way down.
TUR: Cut by Baby Boomers.
ALTER: Cut by Baby Boomers. Exactly.
TUR: Who are telling millennials to suck it up, because they had to do it, even though they didn't have that debt.
ALTER: Exactly. So, one of the things this book is about is the swing from the center right politics in the 1980s and '90s, that was defined by Reagan on one side and Clinton on the other. It's swinging back to the left. A style of politics that may be defined by AOC on the far left and maybe someone like Pete Buttigieg in the middle.
...
TUR: Why doesn't our generation vote in large numbers?
ALTER: It's a great question. I think that it's because, first of all, millennial turnout did double in the 2018 midterms from 2014. So, it's certainly going in the right direction. But one reason is that Barack Obama was such a transformative figure for people. And he was for many people our age the first president that they really got behind. And he made voting into an act of love. So, I don't think millennials think of voting as their duty, they think of it as something they only do for something they care about and really believe in. And that makes it really hard for somebody like a Michael Bloomberg or a Joe Biden to attract millennial voters, because they don't believe in them that much.

Democrats held their ninth primary debate in Nevada on Wednesday night.
It was the first debate to feature former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and it quickly turned into the nastiest debate so far.
Everyone on stage was lashing out at each other.

As desperation rises, candidates go on the attack
Several candidates had their backs against the wall and it showed with a high energy, scintillating and, at times, vicious debate that was by far the most entertaining and illuminating of the primary season.

Warren put in the kind of debate that will have people chattering about a comeback.
The Massachusetts Democrat set her sights on taking down Bloomberg and seemed to blindside the former New York mayor with the bluntness and ferocity of her attacks.
Buttigieg narrowly triumphed in Iowa and came in a close second in New Hampshire, but he faces real questions about his ability to grow his base of supporters by drawing in voters of color who have so far shunned his campaign.
Buttigieg squared off repeatedly with Sanders, who he cast as a rigid and uncompromising ideologue, as well as with Klobuchar, who he’s working to fend off in the centrist lane of the primary.
Not all of Buttigieg’s attacks landed. He infuriated Klobuchar at several points in the debate, setting her up for cutting and memorable comebacks.
“Not everyone is as perfect as you, Pete,” Klobuchar said at one point.
Here are some videos from the event:

Lane Kiffin Says JaMarcus Russell Wasn’t Ready To Be A Millionaire, He Wanted To Draft Calvin Johnson

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin recently recounted an incredible story from his time with the Oakland Raiders .
Al Davis and the Raiders hired Lane Kiffin to be their head coach well over a decade ago , and it was an unmitigated disaster .
One of the reasons why was because the team drafted quarterback JaMarcus Russell over Calvin Johnson , and Kiffin didn ’ t want that to happen .
( RELATED : David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football ) The Ole Miss coach told Dan LeBatard the following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : It was midnight the night before the draft .
I said , ‘ We ’ re going to pay this guy $ 63 million and he ’ s not ready for it.
’ I said I wouldn ’ t be ready for it at 21 .

I said , Calvin Johnson is the best receiver I ’ ve ever seen , ever , work out in my life .

He went first overall in 2007 to the Raiders , and was a disaster on every level in the NFL .
It went off the rails almost immediately .

I think it ’ s safe to say Lane Kiffin got this one 100 % correct when he wanted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t understand how anybody could have gone Russell over Johnson , but that ’ s exactly what Al Davis did .

All we know for sure is that Kiffin is now running the Rebels , and I love it .

thelibertydaily--2020-02-20--The Best Tweets Of The Las Vegas Democrat Debate

The idea that Las Vegas should arise at all , a city in the middle of nowhere with nothing to draw people there but laws that wink at their vices , is one of the most bizarre events in American history .
The second most bizarre was the collection of oddities who assembled there last night in the eighth Democratic presidential debate .
If you like yelling , this was the debate for you .
Missed it ?
Don ’ t worry , we ’ ve got the best tweets of the night from everyone whose ears suffered for you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Booker ’ s “ can ’ t we all be friends ” campaign .
Booker is out .
So are a dozen others .
Those who remain are out for blood , and their first victim tonight was former New York mayor and multi-billionaire Michael Bloomberg .
Elizabeth Warren ’ s interrogation of Bloomberg over his alleged sexual misconduct in the workplace set the tone early , and went on quite a while .
She hammered him hard on the non-disclosure agreements that women have signed after settling lawsuits with him .
Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but he was so boring they moved on to other fights .
Pete Buttigieg contrasted the unlikeability of Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders with his own inability to inspire any sort of strong emotion .
Sanders took criticism for the harassment dished out by his “ Berniebro ” ultras .
He disclaimed responsibility and even mildly criticized them , but Buttigieg asked what it is about his campaign that draws such hateful individuals to it ?
( In other words , he noted that the flies are attracted to manure . )
Amy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prevent sexism on the internet .
After extending the hand of peace to Warren , she was surprised to see it slapped away as Warren compared Klobuchar ’ s healthcare plans to a Post-It note .
But she was smooth enough to promote her home state corporation , the inventor of the Post-It .
That ’ s a professional , ladies and gentlemen .
Meanwhile , Biden faded into the background and Bloomberg was just glad they were talking about someone else .
The moderators next turned to vigor , and whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerning his recent heart attack .
Sanders pointed out that Bloomberg , also 78 , has two stents in his heart , too .
Mayor Pete was ready to challenge them all to an obstacle course .
From health records to tax records , the candidates dogged Bloomberg on his tardy disclosure .
His response was … kind of familiar .
Warren was still mad about something .
Bloomberg looked like he was starting to regret the whole thing .
South of the Border One of the moderators brought up Mexico , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immigration debate .
No , she wanted to know why Klobuchar forgot the name of the President of Mexico the other day .
Really .
( His name is Andrés Manuel López Obrador and she definitely remembered it this time , with her best high school Spanish accent . )
Buttigieg tried to breathe some life into this “ controversy ” , and got a taste of the famous Klobuchar temper .
Next came a global warming question , with a local twist .
It ’ s less a question and more a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all on the same side here .
Bernie yelled that it was an existential threat .
Existential !
His solution ( and Warren ’ s ) was extreme .
Since they all agreed , it got a little repetitive .
Warren congratualted herself on “ believing in science , ” as if that were how scientific inquiry worked .
Biden said a bunch of things al in a row .
Bloomberg spoke strongly against global warming—but said it wasn ’ t all China ’ s fault .
Eat The Rich ?
They next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and whether he had the right to exist .
Inexplicably , few of the non-communist candidates came to Bloomberg ’ s aid .
Though Klobuchar gave it the old college try .
And somehow the converstaion shifted to a fight between Klobuchar and Buttigieg .
There were some unmemorable closing statements .
All of them plugged their websites .
There was something to be learned here .
But there was also a larger point .

Everyone Hates Mike
Gone are the days of Cory Booker’s “can’t we all be friends” campaign. Booker is out. So are a dozen others. Those who remain are out for blood, and their first victim tonight was former New York mayor and multi-billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg’s answers were less than convincing, but he was so boring they moved on to other fights. Pete Buttigieg contrasted the unlikeability of Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders with his own inability to inspire any sort of strong emotion.

Speaking From The Heart (Attack)
The moderators next turned to vigor, and whether the 78-year-old Sanders should release health records concerning his recent heart attack.
Bernie says he has the “vigah” to be president of the United States. I think he just challenged Chuck Todd to some sort of test of physical stamina. — Blake News (@blakehounshell) February 20, 2020
Sanders pointed out that Bloomberg, also 78, has two stents in his heart, too.

The Taxman
From health records to tax records, the candidates dogged Bloomberg on his tardy disclosure. His response was … kind of familiar.

South of the Border
One of the moderators brought up Mexico, but not to discuss any facet of the immigration debate. No, she wanted to know why Klobuchar forgot the name of the President of Mexico the other day. Really.
In the middle of the discussion of Klobuchar not recalling AMLO’s name, Biden interjects: “I’m the only one who knows this man! I met with him!” — Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) February 20, 2020
(His name is Andrés Manuel López Obrador and she definitely remembered it this time, with her best high school Spanish accent.)

Nevada: It’s A Desert
Next came a global warming question, with a local twist.

It’s less a question and more a profession of faith: they’re all on the same side here.

thelibertydaily--2020-02-20--Nanny Bloomberg Paying & Paving the Way for Crooked Hillary?

The Duran ’ s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the obvious theater of Mike Bloomberg ’ s Democratic presidential campaign , and how his massive spend is meant to pave the way for another screwing of Bernie Sanders , and a second Hillary Clinton run against Trump during a brokered convention in Milwaukee .
Subscribe to The Duran on YouTube – Find us on BitChute .
The Duran Audio Podcast : Follow on Soundcloud – Subscribe on iTunes .
It ’ s been obvious to me since he declared that Mike Bloomberg is not a serious candidate for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Democratic base doesn ’ t want — white , billionaire , oligarch , Wall St. 0.000001 % ’ er .
Oh , and until just a couple of years ago , he was a Republican .
Billionaires like Bloomberg change parties to where ever they see their money will go the farthest .
Right now , that is the quickly fracturing Democrats , who are staring at a revolt to Bernie Sanders that doesn ’ t sit with Wall St. at all .
It ’ s also obvious that Bloomberg is animated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I suspect is as much about Mike ’ s ego as it is his desire to protect Wall St. from having any of its dirty laundry aired during a Trump 2nd term .
Because with the failure to convict Trump in the Senate those that were behind that coup attempt are now uniquely exposed to his retribution .
And that trail of tears for all involved leads right back up to Hillary Clinton ’ s poisoned garden of a 2016 presidential bid .
With the Democratic presidential field a uniquely inept mix of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advertising to buy himself wins in delegate-rich red states with weak Democratic parties like North Carolina , Florida and Texas is a good strategy , if he was interested in winning .
But he ’ s not .
He ’ s running to clear the field for Hillary .
Because the fight over these early states are as much about splitting the delegate count as possible , to strip Bernie Sanders of his chance at the nomination .
Hillary is still angry at Bernie for challenging her in 2016 .
She still wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s ambition and if she can screw over all the men that she feels denied her that then it will be all the sweeter when it happens .
Because , honestly , Bloomberg isn ’ t interested in being president anymore than I am .
He ’ s 78 .
He ’ s not campaigning .
What he ’ s doing is a pantomime of a campaign covering for a very sophisticated form of campaign finance evasion .
And he ’ s doing it to figure out what is necessary for a ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and where ) to steal electoral college votes from Donald Trump in November .
Bloomberg is spending this money today knowing that a targeted campaign which can figure out how to undermine Trump where he is strong can shift the map enough to sneak out a victory .
So Mike will spend more than $ 1 billion as an in-kind contribution to the DNC in the form of campaign advertising to get this done .
Because , let ’ s get serious here for a second .
None of the candidates , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hell of beating Trump this fall .
Any mistakes Trump ’ s made dwarf the basic message that he believes in the U.S. in a way that is genuine , even that vision of America is flawed .
The wizards at the DNC know this .
Impeachment was their last real hope .
That ’ s why it was rushed through and so shoddily done , they didn ’ t have anything substantive .
And all it did was cement Trump ’ s base to him more thoroughly than it was before .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ who can out-Trump Trump on the issues and raise a ton of money along the way for 2024 while retaining some control over the party proper .
The intention is to hoover up delegates , confound the map and throw up roadblocks to Bernie .
This paves the way for Hillary ’ s emergence at a brokered convention to hand her the rematch she , Wall St. and the DNC want .
The messaging has already begun .
Drudge ‘ broke ’ the story the other day about Bloomberg being open to Hillary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
It ’ s the other way around .
And I ’ ve been running that story since October .
Tulsi Gabbard unmasked Hillary ’ s manipulating events no-to-subtlety .
It ’ s clear the DNC want Hillary and another beta-male , Pete Buttigieg , as her running mate .
So , less than 48 hours after Drudge ‘ breaks ’ this story , video of Bloomberg just happens to show up and go viral showing him saying disparaging things about farmers and metalworkers .
To top it off , he wants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We all know Mike hates poor people .
He ’ s a geezer auditioning for the top job in the U.S. who hates old people .
He ’ s a thorough authoritarian and corporatist whose disdain for the plebiscite is palpable .
Nothing says U.S. Presidential material like the blatant disregard for human suffering .
On second thought , maybe Mike is the perfect candidate ?
All of this was known before , so why these things now ?
These videos and quotes are out there to undermine him , casting him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is designed to outrage the Deplorables .

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the obvious theater of Mike Bloomberg’s Democratic presidential campaign, and how his massive spend is meant to pave the way for another screwing of Bernie Sanders, and a second Hillary Clinton run against Trump during a brokered convention in Milwaukee.

It’s been obvious to me since he declared that Mike Bloomberg is not a serious candidate for the Democratic nomination. He is everything the Democratic base doesn’t want — white, billionaire, oligarch, Wall St. 0.000001%’er.
Oh, and until just a couple of years ago, he was a Republican. Billionaires like Bloomberg change parties to where ever they see their money will go the farthest.
Right now, that is the quickly fracturing Democrats, who are staring at a revolt to Bernie Sanders that doesn’t sit with Wall St. at all.
It’s also obvious that Bloomberg is animated by personal animus towards Donald Trump that I suspect is as much about Mike’s ego as it is his desire to protect Wall St. from having any of its dirty laundry aired during a Trump 2nd term.
Because with the failure to convict Trump in the Senate those that were behind that coup attempt are now uniquely exposed to his retribution. And that trail of tears for all involved leads right back up to Hillary Clinton’s poisoned garden of a 2016 presidential bid.
With the Democratic presidential field a uniquely inept mix of the hopeless and insane Bloomberg using saturation advertising to buy himself wins in delegate-rich red states with weak Democratic parties like North Carolina, Florida and Texas is a good strategy, if he was interested in winning.
But he’s not. He’s running to clear the field for Hillary.
Because the fight over these early states are as much about splitting the delegate count as possible, to strip Bernie Sanders of his chance at the nomination. Hillary is still angry at Bernie for challenging her in 2016.
She still wants another chance to fulfill her life’s ambition and if she can screw over all the men that she feels denied her that then it will be all the sweeter when it happens.
Because, honestly, Bloomberg isn’t interested in being president anymore than I am. He’s 78. He’s not campaigning. What he’s doing is a pantomime of a campaign covering for a very sophisticated form of campaign finance evasion.
And he’s doing it to figure out what is necessary for a ‘centrist’ Democratic candidate to say (and where) to steal electoral college votes from Donald Trump in November.
Bloomberg is spending this money today knowing that a targeted campaign which can figure out how to undermine Trump where he is strong can shift the map enough to sneak out a victory.
So Mike will spend more than $1 billion as an in-kind contribution to the DNC in the form of campaign advertising to get this done.
Because, let’s get serious here for a second. None of the candidates, including Bernie Sanders, has a hope in hell of beating Trump this fall. Any mistakes Trump’s made dwarf the basic message that he believes in the U.S. in a way that is genuine, even that vision of America is flawed.
The wizards at the DNC know this. Impeachment was their last real hope. That’s why it was rushed through and so shoddily done, they didn’t have anything substantive. And all it did was cement Trump’s base to him more thoroughly than it was before.
Their best shot is running a moderate who can out-Trump Trump on the issues and raise a ton of money along the way for 2024 while retaining some control over the party proper.
The intention is to hoover up delegates, confound the map and throw up roadblocks to Bernie. This paves the way for Hillary’s emergence at a brokered convention to hand her the rematch she, Wall St. and the DNC want.
The messaging has already begun. Drudge ‘broke’ the story the other day about Bloomberg being open to Hillary as his running mate. Oh please! It’s the other way around.
And I’ve been running that story since October. Tulsi Gabbard unmasked Hillary’s manipulating events no-to-subtlety.
It’s clear the DNC want Hillary and another beta-male, Pete Buttigieg, as her running mate.
So, less than 48 hours after Drudge ‘breaks’ this story, video of Bloomberg just happens to show up and go viral showing him saying disparaging things about farmers and metalworkers.
To top it off, he wants to save healthcare by letting old people die.
We all know Mike hates poor people. He’s a geezer auditioning for the top job in the U.S. who hates old people. He’s a thorough authoritarian and corporatist whose disdain for the plebiscite is palpable.
Nothing says U.S. Presidential material like the blatant disregard for human suffering. On second thought, maybe Mike is the perfect candidate?
All of this was known before, so why these things now?
These videos and quotes are out there to undermine him, casting him in the role of the out-of-touch oligarch.
This is designed to outrage the Deplorables. It’s designed to put a cap on Mike’s likability. It gives Hillary a wedge to drive in and say, “No, Mike you can be MY running mate!”
Mike Bloomberg: billionaire, entrepreneur, media mogul, three-time Mayor of New York, bond vigilante… beta-cuck.
So thoroughly Hillary.
This way, he can have his turn as the front-runner, rising far enough on his money to earn some delegates and ensure a brokered convention. Then hand them to Hillary as a gracious peace offering.
This is about manufacturing Hillary as the unity candidate of a failing Democratic Party while sidelining Bernie in the process. That’s the game plan folks.
It’s not tough, honestly.
If it wasn’t all so painfully obvious it would almost be clever. But it’s not because these people simply don’t understand why no one likes them.
Because they suck.
Bloomberg, Hillary, Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Booker, Harris and the rest of the crazies, including Bernie, they all suck. Bernie may be honest that he’s a Commie, but that’s what makes him un-electable, if a little more likable.
And for 2020, the DNC would rather roll the dice with two-time loser Hillary, ensuring a candidate acceptable to Wall St. wins, than put Bernie up as the nominee.
Because no matter what happens the Democrats become the Commie and Crazy-Cat Lady party with Bernie as the nominee. And that creates a clear delineation between them and the Republicans.
But, that’s the worst possible result. Because, the most important thing to Bloomberg, Hillary and those they represent is that the illusion of choice between globalist dirtbags remains in place. This is the true face of Democracy in the U.S.
That’s the key to understanding the game he and Hillary are playing.
And once you see that for what it is there’s no unseeing it.
If Bernie sees it clearly, then he will take his Bros, extend his hand to Gabbard and run an independent campaign to split the Blue Wall and destroy these people for real.
If he doesn’t then he’s the same feckless schmuck I pegged him to be in 2016.
Either way, this is now Hillary’s nomination and Bloomberg is the latest goat on its way to her altar.

thelibertydaily--2020-02-20--10 Attacks in 10 Minutes: ‘Mini Mike’ Bloomberg Savaged By Democrat Rivals in Nevada

Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg wilted under a barrage of withering criticism from his much taller Democratic rivals during his first appearance at a primary debate .

Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg wilted under a barrage of withering criticism from his much taller Democratic rivals during his first appearance at a primary debate.
"Mini Mike," as the billionaire candidate is sometimes called, was attacked 10 times in the first 10 minutes of Wednesday's debate in Nevada. The gloves finally came off in what was by far the most exhilarating contest of the 2020 election cycle. "It was the Roman Coliseum, it was boxing in the 1950s," said MSNBC's Chris Matthews following the debate. "[Bloomberg] had no way to stop it."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) came out swinging the hardest, slamming Bloomberg over his history of degrading remarks about women. She compared him unfavorably to President Donald J. Trump, urging Democrats not to "substitute one arrogant billionaire for another." Later in the debate, she humiliated the former mayor over his treatment of female subordinates and the nondisclosure agreements signed by numerous former Bloomberg employees.
"Mr. Mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those nondisclosure agreements, so we can hear their side of the story?" asked Warren, prompting an awkward and uninspiring response. Bloomberg suggested his female employees had only complained "because they didn't like a joke I told" and refused to release them from the NDAs because "they signed those agreements, and we'll live with it."
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), the presumptive frontrunner, also lashed out at Bloomberg on a variety of issues. Sanders slammed the former mayor's "outrageous" law-enforcement policies, which "went after African-American and Latino people." He even went after Bloomberg's personal fortune (approx. $64 billion), calling it a "grotesque and immoral" concentration of wealth.
Bloomberg continued to struggle when former vice president Joe Biden attacked his lack of support for Obamacare. The former mayor claimed, unconvincingly, to be a "fan" of the health care law he once derided as "a disgrace." Biden also criticized Bloomberg's controversial policing policies and noted the Obama administration's opposition to them. Biden had previously criticized Bloomberg for campaign ads implying that former president Barack Obama had endorsed his candidacy.
Pete Buttigieg, the 38-year-old former mayor of Indiana's fourth-largest city who presumably didn't shave to appear older, also participated in the debate. He joined the anti-Bloomberg pile-on while simultaneously taking shots at Sanders. "Let's put forward somebody who is actually a Democrat," said Buttigieg, referring to Sanders and Bloomberg's affiliation as Independents while in public office.
Democrats, warned Buttigieg via well-rehearsed wordplay, shouldn't put forward a candidate "who wants to burn this party down" (Sanders), or one "who wants to buy this party out" (Bloomberg). The nice young man also had harsh words for Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), questioning her command of the issues in light of her recent inability to name the president of Mexico in an interview.
The debate played out largely as expected, which only made Bloomberg's weakness and apparent lack of preparation all the more befuddling. Supporters of his candidacy are unlikely to feel more confident after the bloodbath in Nevada. In fact, Bloomberg's presence on stage likely ended up helping the one candidate he is explicitly trying to defeat—Bernie Sanders—by attracting criticism that might otherwise have been aimed at the leading candidate in the race.
For what it's worth, an extensive Washington Free Beacon investigation was unable to determine with confidence whether the historically diminutive mayor was standing on a box.
Nevada will hold its Democratic caucus on Saturday before the race heads to South Carolina the following week.

thelibertydaily--2020-02-21--Teen Gives Cops Chilling Play-by-Play of Barnard University Student’s Murder

The uncle of a teenager charged in the death of ...

The teens charged with killing Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors targeted her as she walked alone down a set of stairs in a crime-ridden Harlem park, one of them told detectives in a video recording played in court Thursday.
Zyairr Davis, 13, admitted that he was walking behind pals Rashaun Weaver and Luchiano Lewis, both 14, when they approached her on Dec. 11, the recording made the next day showed.
Davis said he “couldn’t hear too good what they said to her,” but thought that Weaver “was trying to get her phone.”
“She was probably refusing to give it to them, so they got mad at her,” he said.
Davis’ vivid blow-by-blow of the fatal violence included how, “I think Luchi grabbed her, like this” as he crossed his own arms.
“She’s trying to run away. She’s screaming,” he recalled to cops in the 26th Precinct stationhouse.
“The only thing I remember is her yelling for help.”
Davis added, “That’s when Rashaun stabbed her.”
“It ain’t look like poking. It was like — slash.”
Davis also described the suddenness and ferocity of the attack on Majors, 18, a musician and aspiring journalist from Charlottesville, Virginia.
“I didn’t see him take the knife out, but I see all the feathers coming out of her coat,” he said.
Majors’ father, novelist and English professor Inman Majors, clasped his hands and bowed his head in the courtroom gallery as heard how his daughter was killed.
Following the knifing — during which authorities have said Majors was stabbed four times, including once through the heart — Weaver rifled through Majors’ pockets, Davis said.
Despite being mortally wounded, “she was going like this, trying to get him over her pockets,” Davis said while making a scooping gesture with his hands.
Asked what he saw Weaver take, Davis answered, “I just see a plastic bag,” adding that he didn’t know what it contained.
A criminal complaint filed against Weaver on Saturday hinted at its contents, saying that a witness to the incident told cops about hearing someone involved say, “Run your sh-t, gimme your phone. You got some weed, gimme that, too.”
Davis told cops that Lewis threw Majors to the ground.
Asked if he saw any blood, Davis answered, “No, just white feathers came out of her coat. I think it was purple, but I’m not too sure.”
He also described picking up a red knife after the stabbing and handing it to Weaver.
The three teens then ran out of the park, he said, during which he noticed that Weaver had an injury on his hand.
“While we was running, his skin was peeled off on his finger, right here,” he said pointing to his own hand.
“He said that she bit him.”
Davis said the group separated, with Weaver and Lewis heading to their homes in the Taft Houses, while he went to the apartment building at 121st Street and Lenox Avenue where he lives with his aunt and uncle and their grown son.
Davis’ mom died in 2016, neighbors have told The Post.
After stopping to catch his breath, Davis arrived home and “walked my dog, watched YouTube,” he told detectives.
Davis’ admissions led authorities to charge him with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery.
But because of his age, he’s being prosecuted in Manhattan Family Court, where the two-hour video — recorded with three cameras and shown in split-screen format — was played during a pretrial hearing that began last week.
If convicted, Davis would face a maximum punishment of detention in a secure youth facility until he turns 18.
Cops also tried to interview Weaver and Lewis, but the teens refused to answer questions and weren’t arrested until last Friday and Wednesday, respectively.
According to the complaint against Weaver, he was caught on an unspecified recording confessing that he tried to steal Majors’ cellphone and stabbed her because “she was hanging onto her phone.”
The complaint also alleges that his DNA was found on one of Major’s fingernails and that “identifiable sneakers and clothing” captured on surveillance video tie all three teens to her murder.
Weaver and Lewis, who were indicted on multiple counts of murder and robbery, are being prosecuted as adults and face maximum sentences of nine years to life if convicted.
During several breaks in cops’ interview of Davis, the detectives left the room but kept the cameras running, repeatedly capturing the teen’s uncle, Roosevelt Davis, profanely berating his nephew.
“Do you see what you f–king got yourself into, ’cause you hanging out with the wrong f–king people instead of bringing your ass home?” Roosevelt said.
The older man — who’s been attending the Family Court hearings, but was absent on Thursday — also told the teen that he had no idea what he’d gotten himself into.
“This ain’t like school, you get a f–king suspension for like five days. This ain’t like that,” he said.
“All you needed to do was go the f–k to school and bring your ass home.”
At the conclusion of the interview, Roosevelt told Davis that he’d be held in custody “until you’re going to go court,” adding: “I didn’t raise you to be like this. This is un-f–king-real.”
“Like you need something! You walking around with 200 f–king dollar shoes on your feet!” he said.
“You f–king hurt me, yo. Any other f–king thing you did except for this.”
Roosevelt also pleaded with the detectives to “just not parade my child around” before bursting into tears.
