Chelsea Clinton recently said she has abandoned her friendship with Ivanka Trump , and the reason why is just as you might guess : Ivanka ’ s father , President Donald Trump .
The daughter of the infamous Clinton family explained her reasoning , calling Ivanka ‘ complicit ’ in her father Donald ’ s bigotry .
Clinton : “ I Don ’ t Want To Be Friends With Someone Like That ” During the 2016 campaign , Chelsea Clinton said she was still friends with Ivanka Trump , after being friends for years .
While both were living in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known to go on double dates together with their husbands .
At the time , Clinton had said that despite their “ very different views ” on who should become President , it did not make a dint on their friendship .
Both daughters were involved in their parent ’ s presidential campaigns , with Chelsea introducing her mother Hillary at the DNC , and Ivanka introducing her father at the RNC that year .
However , speaking to Andy Cohen on “ Watch What Happens Live , ” she confirmed this was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t been for a long while .
Clinton told Cohen that she hadn ’ t spoken to Ivanka since 2016 .
“ I have no interest in being friends with someone who is not only complicit , but actively taking part in this administration ’ s everyday collision of cruelty and incompetence , ” Clinton said : We were in touch at the beginning of the campaign , but it ’ s just really hard when there ’ s someone who ’ s actively embracing their candidate , whether it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trafficking in racism and sexism and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and homophobia and transphobia and conspiracy theories and lies , and is so fundamentally corrupt .

Clinton: “I Don’t Want To Be Friends With Someone Like That”
During the 2016 campaign, Chelsea Clinton said she was still friends with Ivanka Trump, after being friends for years.
While both were living in New York City, they had been known to go on double dates together with their husbands.
At the time, Clinton had said that despite their “very different views” on who should become President, it did not make a dint on their friendship.
Both daughters were involved in their parent’s presidential campaigns, with Chelsea introducing her mother Hillary at the DNC, and Ivanka introducing her father at the RNC that year.
However, speaking to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live,” she confirmed this was no longer the case, and hadn’t been for a long while.
Clinton told Cohen that she hadn’t spoken to Ivanka since 2016.
“I have no interest in being friends with someone who is not only complicit, but actively taking part in this administration’s everyday collision of cruelty and incompetence,” Clinton said:
We were in touch at the beginning of the campaign, but it’s just really hard when there’s someone who’s actively embracing their candidate, whether it’s their father or not, who is trafficking in racism and sexism and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and homophobia and transphobia and conspiracy theories and lies, and is so fundamentally corrupt.

The President Doesn’t Care About “Actually Saving American Lives”
Chelsea Clinton also recently talked about Ivanka’s dad, President Trump.
She described the President as a “racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, transphobic human being,” on a podcast with Jemele Hill.
“I knew it was going to be a hall of horrors because he told us so much of what he would do. But the collision of like the cruelty and like the bigotry that is so defined him his whole life, like with just the incompetence, I think has been devastating,” Clinton continued.
President Clinton’s daughter didn’t save her vitriol for the powerful, either. She went after Trump voters:
Even if you were just “voting because [you] wanted a tax cut,” President Trump would still be given “a lot of power to manifest those, like, hateful bigoted values into the world.”
Chelsea Clinton shared her candid thoughts about Trump and his response to the coronavirus, calling him an “incompetent” leader who “seems to revel in being cruel."#Debates2020https://t.co/ikpdy5L33J — Democratic Coalition (@TheDemCoalition) September 30, 2020

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-02--What If Trump Becomes Too Ill? Here’s What Happened When Past Presidents Had Emergencies

News of President Trump contracting the coronavirus and falling ill has caused serious concern – both for the President , and for the safety and well-being of our country .
The latest reports indicate the President and First Lady Melania Trump are experiencing “ mild symptoms.
” But what happens if President Trump does , God forbid , become too ill from the coronavirus to carry out his duties for any length of time ?
Here ’ s what we know from our recent history .
There have been several instances where Presidents have had to transfer power , ranging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Just looking at the 20th Century to present : In 2002 and 2007 , President Bush transferred his powers to Vice President Dick Cheney , by invoking Section 3 of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution , while he was sedated for routine colon cancer tests .
Thankfully , nothing eventful occurred during those short periods .
However , it is interesting to note that during routine health check ups , the entire power of the Presidency must sometimes pass to someone else .
Remember , the President carries the nuclear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a moment ’ s notice .
President Ronald Reagan did not officially invoke the 25th Amendment in July of 1985 when he had colon cancer surgery .
But he did essentially act in the same manner .
“ I will temporarily remove myself and have the vice president serve as acting president , ” he wrote .
“ When I am able again to serve I will reclaim the presidency.
” Much more seriously , when Reagan was the victim of an assassination attempt on March 30th , 1981 , chaos ensued , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a state of confusion .
Vice President George H.W .
Bush could not be reached due to communication issues ( he was on a plane ) .
Secretary of State Alexander Haig incorrectly claimed he was in charge of the federal government – though the House speaker and the Senate ’ s President Pro Tempore come before the Secretary of State .
Vice President Bush would quietly assume control once his plane landed , however , and Reagan “ resumed some of his executive duties and signed a piece of legislation from his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This confusion about who was really in control of the Executive Branch of course occurred during the height of the Cold War – when the USA and USSR had enough nuclear missiles to kill hundreds of millions of people pointed at each other , and on a hair trigger .
Thankfully , today this couldn ’ t occur .
Digital technology allows for secure communications aboard Executive Branch aircraft .
The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22nd , 1963 , resulted in Lyndon B. Johnson being sworn in as President aboard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Kennedy was shot .
When Woodrow Wilson had a minor stroke in 1919 he became partially paralyzed .
In an effort to keep his illness concealed , his wife Edith took the helm .
“ She essentially acted as the president , and the country was kept in the dark about Wilson ’ s true condition until after his term ended in 1921 , ” History.com writes .
Perhaps more interesting is their explanation of why Wilson ’ s Vice President did not take control .
Thankfully , the 25th Amendment provided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as we saw with President George W. Bush .
RELATED : Chris Wallace Blames The President For Debate Disaster , Trump Responds On Twitter Now , What Happens if Trump Becomes Too Ill ?
Some of the aforementioned cases involve chaos and confusion , something America can ill afford as we already head toward a chaotic and confusing election process .
Technology issues of the past should be relatively moot – Vice President Pence , who incidentally has tested negative for COVID , shouldn ’ t have trouble receiving a phone call on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rules of succession are relatively understood and the 25th Amendment is well-established .
In the event that President Trump is unable to carry out his duties as President , the 25th Amendment provides for Vice President Pence to immediately take over .
If something were to happen to Pence that rendered him unable to perform the duties of President , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become the Commander-in-Chief .
If Speaker Pelosi were unable to serve , current Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley would assume the duties .
What About the Election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the middle of a presidential campaign , and Election Day is a mere month away .
So what happens if President Trump becomes incapacitated after falling ill from coronavirus and can ’ t continue his campaign ?
If Trump were to become physically unable to run for re-election , the GOP would need to re-nominate someone at an emergency convention .
That person would most likely be Mike Pence , who would then have to select a running mate .
The VP running mate would also need to be nominated and accepted by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also an unlikely scenario that Congress could delay the election .
In 2004 , the Congressional Research Service ( CRS ) looked at possible scenarios for election delays in the event of a terrorist attack .
Congress , they concluded , could delegate its power to postpone elections to the president , but it would require a change in federal law approved by both Houses of Congress .
With a Republican-controlled Senate and a Democrat-controlled House , that seems far-fetched .

News of President Trump contracting the coronavirus and falling ill has caused serious concern – both for the President, and for the safety and well-being of our country.
The latest reports indicate the President and First Lady Melania Trump are experiencing “mild symptoms.”
Thank you for the love you are sending our way. I have mild symptoms but overall feeling good. I am looking forward to a speedy recovery. — Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) October 2, 2020
But what happens if President Trump does, God forbid, become too ill from the coronavirus to carry out his duties for any length of time?

Past Health Emergencies Involving Presidents
Here’s what we know from our recent history.
There have been several instances where Presidents have had to transfer power, ranging from the relatively mundane to the catastrophic.
Just looking at the 20th Century to present:
George W. Bush
In 2002 and 2007, President Bush transferred his powers to Vice President Dick Cheney, by invoking Section 3 of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution, while he was sedated for routine colon cancer tests.
Thankfully, nothing eventful occurred during those short periods.
However, it is interesting to note that during routine health check ups, the entire power of the Presidency must sometimes pass to someone else.
Remember, the President carries the nuclear football. He must be ready at a moment’s notice.
Ronald Reagan
President Ronald Reagan did not officially invoke the 25th Amendment in July of 1985 when he had colon cancer surgery. But he did essentially act in the same manner.
“I will temporarily remove myself and have the vice president serve as acting president,” he wrote. “When I am able again to serve I will reclaim the presidency.”
Much more seriously, when Reagan was the victim of an assassination attempt on March 30th, 1981, chaos ensued, leaving the powers of the presidency in a state of confusion.
Vice President George H.W. Bush could not be reached due to communication issues (he was on a plane).
Secretary of State Alexander Haig incorrectly claimed he was in charge of the federal government – though the House speaker and the Senate’s President Pro Tempore come before the Secretary of State.
Vice President Bush would quietly assume control once his plane landed, however, and Reagan “resumed some of his executive duties and signed a piece of legislation from his hospital bed” the following day.
This confusion about who was really in control of the Executive Branch of course occurred during the height of the Cold War – when the USA and USSR had enough nuclear missiles to kill hundreds of millions of people pointed at each other, and on a hair trigger.
Thankfully, today this couldn’t occur. Digital technology allows for secure communications aboard Executive Branch aircraft.
John F. Kennedy
The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963, resulted in Lyndon B. Johnson being sworn in as President aboard Air Force One approximately two hours after President Kennedy was shot.
A clearly distraught Jackie Kennedy stood by Johnson’s side.
#TodayInHistory, Nov. 22, 1963: President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. At approx. 2:38 p.m. aboard Air Force One, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in by Judge Sarah Hughes as the 36th #POTUS. More related archival material: https://t.co/CDTqvkDeGt pic.twitter.com/vOo6ir8tDC — LBJ Library (@LBJLibrary) November 22, 2018
Woodrow Wilson
When Woodrow Wilson had a minor stroke in 1919 he became partially paralyzed. In an effort to keep his illness concealed, his wife Edith took the helm.
“She essentially acted as the president, and the country was kept in the dark about Wilson’s true condition until after his term ended in 1921,” History.com writes.
Perhaps more interesting is their explanation of why Wilson’s Vice President did not take control.
“In 1919 the rules of presidential succession in the case of injury weren’t clearly defined. The 25th amendment wasn’t ratified until 1967, and so Wilson’s administration was operating under Article 2 of the constitution, which provided for a Vice Presidential takeover in the case of ‘death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office.'” “Wilson wasn’t dead and was unwilling to resign under these circumstances, so the Vice President refused to assume the presidency unless Congress passed a resolution declaring the office vacant.”
Thankfully, the 25th Amendment provided more clarity for such a case, as we saw with President George W. Bush.

Now, What Happens if Trump Becomes Too Ill?
Some of the aforementioned cases involve chaos and confusion, something America can ill afford as we already head toward a chaotic and confusing election process.
Technology issues of the past should be relatively moot – Vice President Pence, who incidentally has tested negative for COVID, shouldn’t have trouble receiving a phone call on a plane or anywhere else.
And rules of succession are relatively understood and the 25th Amendment is well-established.
NEW: A White House official tells me President Trump is experiencing “mild symptoms” and is working from the WH Residence: “Business as usual” for Trump, this official says. — Peter Alexander (@PeterAlexander) October 2, 2020
In the event that President Trump is unable to carry out his duties as President, the 25th Amendment provides for Vice President Pence to immediately take over.
If something were to happen to Pence that rendered him unable to perform the duties of President, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become the Commander-in-Chief.
If Speaker Pelosi were unable to serve, current Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley would assume the duties.
What About the Election?
However, we are smack in the middle of a presidential campaign, and Election Day is a mere month away.
So what happens if President Trump becomes incapacitated after falling ill from coronavirus and can’t continue his campaign?
If Trump were to become physically unable to run for re-election, the GOP would need to re-nominate someone at an emergency convention.
That person would most likely be Mike Pence, who would then have to select a running mate. The VP running mate would also need to be nominated and accepted by the emergency Republican convention.
There is also an unlikely scenario that Congress could delay the election.
In 2004, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) looked at possible scenarios for election delays in the event of a terrorist attack.
Congress, they concluded, could delegate its power to postpone elections to the president, but it would require a change in federal law approved by both Houses of Congress.
With a Republican-controlled Senate and a Democrat-controlled House, that seems far-fetched.
At this time, there is no reason to believe any of these succession scenarios will occur.
However, if the worst were to happen, America will survive, and thrive.

A CNN “analysis” piece, with all the nuance of a man publicly setting himself on fire for attention, declared Trump’s diagnosis:
“presents a stunning new twist in a tumultuous year, throwing an election that is only 32 days away into chaos and raising the grave possibility of more American crises over governance and national security at an already perilous moment.”
Not to be outdone, The New York Times reported that if Trump was to become sick, “it could raise questions about whether he should remain on the ballot at all.”
The Washington Post’s reigning Queen of Trump Derangement Syndrome, Jen Rubin, tweeted that the President should “resign” as a result of testing positive for COVID-19.

The reality is that none of these things are or were a “Constitutional crisis.”
Indeed, the only real crisis we are experiencing is a crisis in journalism.
In the past week, Trump has been in close contact with countless officials and supporters.

Now, more than ever, in the midst of a global pandemic and in the closing days of a bitter Presidential race, we need a media that we can trust.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-02--President Trump Tells Proud Boys To Stand Down, Again

Donald Trump is a busy man .
He has the country to run , the Free World to lead , a pandemic to deal with , and Democrats to break on the wheel of electoral victory .
But , what are those same Democrats and the media obsessing about on Thursday ?
Whether he did or did not notice an obscure rightist protest group .
The kerfuffle is interesting , as the president has been called upon by friend and foe alike to denounce the Proud Boys .
Okay fine .
But Joe Biden is not being called upon , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to denounce racist terrorist murderers Antifa and Black Lives Matter .
The Proud Boys are a rightist group that generally shows up at left wing protests and makes an effort to look menacing .
A bit of Kabuki there .
If attacked , like any normal people , they will defend themselves .
But they do not start fires , vandalize buildings , loot stores , or murder children .
That is left to the apparently blameless Antifa and Black Lives Matter .
But Trump , not Biden , is guilty by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ takes it from here , “ President Trump on Wednesday tried to clear up confusion after telling the right-wing men ’ s group the Proud Boys to ‘ stand back and stand by , ’ during the first presidential debate , saying he didn ’ t know who the group was but they should let law enforcement do their job .
‘ I don ’ t know who the Proud Boys are .
I mean , you ’ ll have to give me a definition because I really don ’ t know who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the White House .
‘ I can only say they have to stand down and let law enforcement do their work . '
” Get that ?
Stand down .
Boom .
Done .
Has Joe Biden said the same to Antifa ?
This Started During The Debate The whole thing started when Trump was asked by Democrat shill Chris Wallace at the debate Tuesday if he was willing to condemn white supremacy .
The president said , “ Sure , I ’ m willing to do that .
But I would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the left-wing , not the right-wing .
I am willing to do anything .
I want to see peace.
” Bingo .
Exactly right .
One hundred percent spot on .
So , naturally , Democrats and the media will have none of it .
Joe Biden then asked Trump specifically to condemn the Proud Boys , to which the president said , “ Proud Boys , stand back and stand by ” – a comment that sparked outrage on social media .
Granted , a tad clumsy .
But he didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Proud Boys leader Enrique Torrio , he of the not real Aryan-sounding name , said he didn ’ t see the president ’ s words as “ an endorsement.
