thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-19--Senate Exonerates President Trump Once Again Regarding The Russia Collusion Fairytale

For what seems like the umpteenth time , a government entity has completely exonerated Donald Trump from any wrongdoing over so-called Russian collusion during his 2016 campaign for president .
On Tuesday , the Senate Intelligence Committee came to the conclusion that the FBI gave the Democrat paid-for Steele dossier “ unjustified credence , ” and that Russia “ took advantage ” of members of the Trump transition team ’ s “ relative inexperience in government.
” This was part of a years-long bipartisan investigation .
Yes , some Democrats finally admitted that Trump did not collude with the Russians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last three years , the Senate Intelligence Committee conducted a bipartisan and thorough investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and undermine our democracy , ” said Acting Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Marco Rubio ( R-FL ) on Tuesday .
“ We interviewed over 200 witnesses and reviewed over 1 million pages of documents , ” he added .
“ No probe into this matter has been more exhaustive.
” “ We can say , without any hesitation , that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to meddle in the 2016 election , ” Rubio said .
“ What the Committee did find , however , is very troubling.
” Rubio ’ s committee found “ irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling ” and “ deeply troubling actions taken ” by the FBI , “ particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the ‘ Steele Dossier ’ without verifying its methodology or sourcing.
” Yup , the FBI under Comey was corrupt as the day is long .
Let ’ s hope John Durham comes to that view as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used the dossier in a FISA application and renewals , and advocated for it to be included in the Intelligence Community Assessment before taking the necessary steps to validate assumptions about Steele ’ s credibility.
” The Senate Intelligence Committee found that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort ’ s “ presence on the Trump campaign and proximity to then-candidate Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over , and acquire confidential information on , the Trump campaign.
” Looking for the fall guy ?
Look no further .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secretly share internal Campaign information with [ Russian oligarch ] Konstantin Kilimnik .
Though the committee was “ unable to reliably determine why Manafort shared sensitive internal polling data or Campaign strategy with Kilimnik or with whom Kilimnik further shared that information… The Committee obtained some information suggesting Kilimnik may have been connected to the GRU ’ s hack and leak operation targeting the 2016 U.S. election…after the election , Manafort continued to coordinate with Russian persons , particularly Kilimnik and other individuals close to Oleg Deripaska , in an effort to undertake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kilimnik starting in 2016 on narratives that sought to undermine evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.
” The Intel committee added : “ Taken as a whole , Manafort ’ s high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services , particularly Kilimnik and associates of Deripaska , represented a grave counterintelligence threat.
” If the president loses the election , expect Manafort , as in the custom of all outgoing presidents in regards to their troubled pals , to be pardoned .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his committee found “ no solid evidence that information of benefit to the Campaign was transmitted at the meeting , or that then-candidate Trump had foreknowledge of the meeting [ with the Russians ] .
” Enough exoneration already .

Former “The Office” star Mindy Kaling tweeted that she was emotional watching Harris’ speech as well.
“Put my daughter to bed and am watching @SenKamalaHarris a little delayed,” she wrote. “This intro video of her sister, niece and stepdaughter is already making me cry. Should I wake up my 2 year old and have her watch?”
“As someone who has a deceased Indian mother and scientist who was my best friend, I can’t believe this is our candidate for Vice President,” Kaling added. “How in my lifetime? How?”

Finally, the singer and actress Bette Midler was so excited about the speech that she could barely keep it together.
“Bravo! Kamala! Oh, wow! There’s Joe! Great speech…socially distant…this is so weird, but so, so moving —and full of hope,” she tweeted.

Serious Allegations
However, the address by Hunter Biden may be one of the most controversial moments of the entire DNC so far, due to allegations that claim he has a crooked past.
The President highlighted some of these allegations in a recent attack ad against Biden, including noting that Biden has an equity stake in a company that had taken over a billion and a half dollars in loans from the Chinese government.
Other allegations against Hunter Biden include his links to the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, of which he was a board member. Senator Ron Johnson announced back in March his plans to subpoena a consulting firm that could show a possible conflict of interest in that related case.

What Would Happen If Biden Wins In November?
One thing that is clear, is that Hunter Biden’s foreign trips cost the Secret Service almost $200,000. Hunter’s trips, supposedly under his role as the chairman of World Food Program USA, were to 10 different countries, including South Africa, China, and Qatar, with bills being recorded as payable to a “miscellaneous foreign contractor” or “miscellaneous foreign awardee.”
Sean Moulton, a senior policy analyst with the Project on Government Oversight, said the database is very much incomplete, noting that many details will be withheld by the Secret Service for “security reasons,” and that it is impossible to know exactly why Hunter Biden’s foreign trips cost so much.
The classification of the bills as “miscellaneous” showed a “frustrating lack of transparency” from the Secret Service, Moulton said.

Tara Reade , the woman who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault , just spoke out to say that Democrats are “ gaslighting ” survivors by mishandling her claims .
She added that several days of watching the Democrat convention had been “ traumatizing ” for her to watch .
“ I ’ ve communicated with other people who are watching this who had very visceral reactions to what ’ s happening and how sexual assault survivors .
… We ’ re being gaslighted , right , collectively , ” Reade told .
“ They ’ re pretending that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Me Too ’ like a shield but meanwhile , some of their main Democratic elites , some of the main powerful people involved with the party are actually perpetrators themselves , ” she added .
“ And it ’ s this denial , collective denial and gaslighting of survivors , that ’ s been so concerning to me.
” Not stopping there , Reade accused Democrats of being “ complicit ” in her assault .
“ And frankly , I think the Democratic National Committee is complicit because they ’ re not just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ They ’ re participating in it…and enabling those perpetrators.
” Reade said that the inclusion of former President Bill Clinton —who has repeatedly been accused of sexual misconduct— in the speaker lineup for the DNC is “ pretty unconscionable ” and a “ slap in the face to survivors.
” “ I ’ m a sexual assault survivor , so to me , what the speaker lineup showed is kind of like a thumb in all of our faces .
It was…really disappointing , ” Reade said .
“ Rape culture in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic Party .
I feel that they are not only enabling but they are allowing that behavior to continue just by virtue of who they lined up as speakers who have credible sexual assault and harassment allegations against them and I feel like there ’ s an abandonment of the voices that are trying to be heard that really wanted systemic change.

Biden has denied the claims that she has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t true .
This never happened , ” Biden said in a statement back in May .
Reade , however , has stood by her story .
In her latest interview , she described herself as a “ lifelong Democrat , ” which has made her experience just as “ excruciating…because I want to continue to have the representatives to vote for by my belief system.

“ When there were Republicans being accused of that , the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was quite different and quite aggressive and quite hostile to the perpetrator , potential perpetrator before it was even investigated , ” she added .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-20--Pennsylvania Could Be The Keystone To The 2020 Presidential Election – The Advantage Is For Trump

As a political operative , I worked in Pennsylvania politics for almost two decades .
From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh I trod the highways and county election offices electing everybody from the federal level down to city council droids .
My contacts there are numerous .
One of them , a Democrat operative working the western part of the state on election day 2016 , gave me my first confirmation that Trump could take the day .
So after talking to him and others involved in the game on both sides of the aisle , it ’ s clear : the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race and right now it shades , not by much , Trump .
The deciding factors will be the Philadelphia suburban vote and the white working class vote .
A wild card—Trump ’ s rising success with minority voters .

As a political operative, I worked in Pennsylvania politics for almost two decades. From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh I trod the highways and county election offices electing everybody from the federal level down to city council droids. My contacts there are numerous.
One of them, a Democrat operative working the western part of the state on election day 2016, gave me my first confirmation that Trump could take the day.
So after talking to him and others involved in the game on both sides of the aisle, it’s clear: the Keystone State is vital to the presidential race and right now it shades, not by much, Trump. The deciding factors will be the Philadelphia suburban vote and the white working class vote. A wild card—Trump’s rising success with minority voters.
Most people think Trump will lose the popular vote again.
But PA's demographics remain favorable to him – giving him a shot in the Electoral College if the race tightens:https://t.co/fHaYmsaTDP — Jonathan Tamari (@JonathanTamari) August 17, 2020
Pennsylvania is The Crucial 2020 Battleground
Think of PA as a rectangle with Philadelphia on the lower right and Pittsburgh on the central left. All else, Kentucky. Or, as some have called it, “Pennsyltucky.” My favorite, of my own invention, is “Imbesylvania.”
Whatever the moniker it’s culturally conservative outside the big cities and even in large parts of those cities, but economically hard hat liberal. Not PC liberal, but Archie Bunker Democrat. Hence why Trump won in 2016. It had voted Democrat in the six prior presidential elections. Though GOP in the three prior to that. Yup, Trump pulled off a serious upset. That Wisconsin and Michigan sealed his larger victory.
With its 20 electoral votes, it is the jewel in the battleground state crown. Many current polls have Biden up by almost double digits. Hogwash. It’s close alright. But the best poll is the previous election and the biggest change since then is the volatile anger of the PA rural and small-town Right against the cultural far-left Democrats.
If you get out of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, it’s palpable. Go to Womelsdorf, Oregon Avenue in Philly, Greene County, Altoona, and many other locales across the state and the comments you get from the residents when you mention Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and both their connections to the Democratic Party is too expletive-laden to quote here.
Trump Democrats Are Key
Suffice it to say, the Democrats’ effete cultural sense plays very badly against Trump’s working class- aimed bravado. Thus, look for increased turnout for the president with Archie Bunker Democrats.
But, will that be canceled out by suburban Philadelphia votes, especially female votes there? Maybe. The president’s braggadocio does not play well with those voters and in other poodle people environs. In New Hope, the Main Line, and Sewickley they are appalled by the president’s tweets and off-the-cuff remarks.
However, they didn’t mind his economic results and are deathly afraid of Antifa and Black Lives Matter carousing through their leafy neighborhoods and ruining the landscaping it took the gardener so long to put together. They will grudgingly admit Biden is a prisoner to those forces—the terrorists, not the gardener. Thus, will the president win this vote? No. But he can decrease it by five or 10 points. Enough to take the sting out.
Combine that with (and this is low ball) 20 percent of the minority vote statewide and he can take the joint once again. Not by a large margin, but by enough to cobble together over 270 in the Electoral College. That’s enough to celebrate with a pizza steak at Tony Luke’s any day of the week.

Police eventually arrived on the scene and escorted at least one of the women off the flight. American Airlines released the following statement to Fox News:
“On Monday, a customer on American Airlines Flight 1665 with service from Las Vegas to Charlotte failed to comply with our mandatory face-covering policy after boarding the aircraft prior to departure. In accordance with our policy, the customer was subsequently asked to leave the aircraft and became disruptive, resulting in an altercation with other passengers.”
Ross’s husband, who filmed the footage, said that the argument initially started over seat assignments, and quickly escalated from there.

DNC Caught Airing Edited Video Of Trump’s ‘Animals’ Comment To Make It Seem Like He Was Talking About Immigrant Children

The Democratic National Convention ( DNC ) aired selectively edited video Wednesday evening which attempted to show President Trump calling immigrant children “ animals.
” The video shows children of illegal immigrants in detention centers with a child ’ s voiceover stating , “ Some of those kids are now orphans because of you ( Trump ) .
” A melodramatic child thinking that is one thing , but you ’ d think the adults in the room would be able to understand any children separated from their families were due to their law-breaking parents or the adults who used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
Following that comment , three videos were spliced together showing President Trump making various campaign comments .
“ These aren ’ t people , ” Trump says .
“ I don ’ t want them in our country .
They ’ re animals.
” The reality is Trump was referring to a very specific group of people when he made each of these comments .
The following video from the Daily Caller shows the spliced DNC video and the actual clips of the President ’ s comments with further context .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Election and Will Steal It Again That video is a fake news dream that even CNN might blush at the thought of airing .
The notion that President Trump called immigrants or asylum seekers “ animals ” has been debunked several times over , with Politifact rating it flat-out “ false ” and Snopes calling it “ inaccurate.
” “ His ‘ animals ’ comment came nearly a year ago during a White House discussion on MS-13 gang members , ” Politifact reported .
“ Trump did refer to some people as ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an exchange about MS-13 gang members .
His comment wasn ’ t directly about asylum seekers.
” “ Trump said no such thing about asylum seekers , ” Becket Adams of the Washington Examiner wrote .
“ He was speaking specifically about members of the brutal , barbaric Salvadoran gang MS-13 , which is known for hacking its enemies to death with machetes .
Even the Associated Press was forced to delete a tweet with a similarly false insinuation “ because it wasn ’ t made clear that he was speaking after a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pelosi Trashes Pro-Life Bill , Then Says Every Illegal Immigrant Has ‘ Dignity and Worth ’ Several prominent Democrats and media members at the time of President Trump ’ s comments shockingly came out and defended the MS-13 gang members .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually responded by citing her faith when it comes to addressing such violent illegal immigrants .
The “ more the administration acts in [ a ] shameful way , not consistent with our faith , with our belief that every person has — has dignity and worth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ divinity within them that we need to respect , ” she preached .
“ And that we have that spark of divinity that we need to act upon.
” “ Trump referring to human beings as ‘ animals ’ is the same dehumanization tactic used by slave traders and slave owners to justify the oppression of black people for hundreds of years , ” CNN commentator Keith Boykin chimed in .
Even knowing full-well the lie has been debunked , Beto O ’ Rourke , a dumber male version of AOC who Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ role in his administration , continued to peddle it … last night !
Most Americans , fortunately , don ’ t fall for the fake news media any longer .
And as it turns out , most Americans actually side with President Trump on his “ animals ” comment – the real one .
“ Fifty-six percent of American adults in the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll said referring to members of the gang as ‘ animals ’ is fair , compared to 44 percent who said the characterization was unfair , ” The Hill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slimmer majority , 52 percent , added that comments that ‘ dehumanize ’ members of MS-13 are acceptable.
” Huh .
Guess they don ’ t view these violent imports with that same ‘ spark of divinity.
’ Americans will probably also be pleased to know that Trump is taking action against those “ animals , ” with ICE announcing numerous arrests of MS-13 gang members in July .

But I digress.
