The Donald Trump Score Card

Do you understand that if you crap on about the Rocky poster and Trump more so than what the HK protesters are protesting over. Comes off sounding like you dont care about Democracy right?

 

I'm thinking there might be a link between the Black Israelites of that incident and the ones who attacked the Jewish Market in New Jersey a couple of days ago?

 

Sounds to me like you don't understand the "Issue Voter Model" and have failed to understand that one could care about Democracy, crap on posters, and disregard Hong Kong. American Political Thinking might be too complicated for an Australian like you?

 

McConnell will serve as Trump's defense attorney and juror for the trial in the Senate.

McConnell, Coordinating With White House, Lays Plans for Impeachment Trial

excerpts:

"WASHINGTON — With the House headed to a vote to impeach President Donald Trump next week, Sen. Mitch McConnell was working hand in hand with the White House to make plans for a Senate trial, a proceeding steeped in tradition and rules, but one fraught with political peril for vulnerable Republicans.

Trump said Friday that he had no preference for how the trial — expected to begin in early January — unfolds, but he has privately pushed for a prolonged process that would allow him to mount a theatrical defense. McConnell, R-Ky., the majority leader, has resisted that idea in favor of a shorter, more dignified event.

Outraged Democrats, meanwhile, accused McConnell on Friday of abandoning his duty to render “impartial justice” in an impeachment trial — a response to a television interview in which McConnell dismissed House Democrats’ articles of impeachment as “so darn weak.” He added that he was “taking my cues” from the White House in shaping the trial."


"Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., a member of the House Judiciary Committee who is being mentioned as a possible House manager during the impeachment trial, went one step further and called Friday for McConnell to recuse himself from the proceedings.

“No court in the country would allow a member of the jury to also serve as the accused’s defense attorney,” Demings said in a statement. “The moment Sen. McConnell takes the oath of impartiality required by the Constitution, he will be in violation of that oath.”"

.....or....

He doesnt give a shit about Hong Kong

 

That’s not what happened. The kids were waiting for a bus and the native man marched up to them banging his drum. Sandman stood his ground and refused to be intimidated.

 

I think the teenagers were probably reacting like normal teenagers. A Native American approaching them and beating a large drum in was something they hadn't seen before in Kentucky, something they thought was bizarre (because it was). A smirk was certainly not a respectful reaction, but under the circumstances I think it wasn't inappropriate. The whole scene was a microcosm of the craziness that's infecting the country. We were lucky there was no physical violence. But the most disturbing thing is how this teenager became an icon to Trumpsters and a symbol in the culture wars. .

 

Maybe he don't have time for it, because he is looking into the Trump Organization's criminal program for selling Green Cards to rich Chinese investors?

 

No that is not what happened. There is power in numbers and the Native man was just one person. The White Supremacists were all wearing the White Supremacist MAGA Hat, because it was their uniting identity.

 

Democratic Sen. Coons says he's 'gravely' concerned about Trump's actions if acquitted by Senate
"If the Senate Republican majority refuses to discipline him through impeachment, he will be unbounded," Coons tells "Meet the Press."

Democratic Sen. Coons says he's 'gravely' concerned about Trump's actions if acquitted by Senate

excerpt:

""If he is ultimately exonerated in the Senate, if the Senate Republican majority refuses to discipline him through impeachment he will be unbounded," the Delaware senator continued. "And I am gravely concerned about what else he might do between now and the 2020 election — when there are no restrictions on his behavior."

The House Judiciary Committee on Friday approved two articles of impeachment against Trump in a party-line vote. The articles allege that Trump abused his power with an attempt to pressure Ukraine to open an investigation into a political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, and that he obstructed Congress' investigation into those allegations."

 

Trump’s Special Back Door for Wealthy Immigrants
The administration has continued a program that allows wealthy immigrants an easy route to permanent residency.

Trump’s Special Back Door for Wealthy Immigrants

excerpts:

"Trump’s “build the wall” immigration agenda isn’t as inflexible as it seems. That hardened border has one exclusive toll booth: It’s called the EB-5 visa, aka “greenbacks for green cards”—known among global investor circles as the EZ Pass to the American Dream.

Through the EB-5 program, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) offers about 10,000 spots annually for foreign investors to purchase at the “front of the queue,” if they promise to sink $500,000 to $1 million in a US-based “development” project. The goal is to give investors priority in the green-card process as a “sweetener” in exchange for investing in commercial ventures that boost employment. But the controversial program, which has exploded since the financial crisis, has been tarnished by links to shady influence-peddling in the backrooms of Trump’s real-estate empire."


"As CityLab reported earlier this year, these regions are often easy to “gerrymander” by rigging Census-tract counts, so that an investor can claim his 20-story glass-and-steel office tower is helping to “develop” the East Harlem neighborhood with which it happens to share a tract. Cities fish for foreign investors by bending the data in EB-5 applications, and the USCIS is co-opted as an indirect agent of exorbitant real-estate deals dressed up as “job creation” on paper. Such shovel-ready foreign-funded stimulus has lately taken the forms of a Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills, and a skyscraper hotel at 1 Park Row that bills itself as “your perfect refuge in the middle of Manhattan.”"

 

He will be like a bull in a china shop.

 

Do you? have you gone to any protests in oz, or HK? If not, then shut up.

 

I gave you a LIKE Barros but you need to understand Okie is one of the good people on here and is a Liberal just like me. In fact, we both like beans and corn bread which is popular in Oklahoma and Colorado.

 

I like beans and cornbread too, but they have to be black beans.
I don't like grits. That's like eating wet sawdust.

 

That's a trade secret... You weren't supposed to tell.

 

Well, there was plenty of blame to go around. Public opinion turned in Sandman's favor when more complete video footage showed that the Native American approached the boys and got in Sandman's face with the drum. I'd say that was pretty confrontational and conveyed a certain self-righteousness. Racism cuts both ways. It would have been unusual for Sandman to have stood there expressionless, and if he had somebody would probably have cast a negative spin on that. And he didn't have an angry expression. He was a sixteen year-old kid, so all in all, I think the smirk was understandable. Yes, there seems to have been a bit of racism going on, as well, judging from the tomahawk gestures his friends were making. Shortly after the incident occurred, I had the benefit of hearing another point of view from a Catholic group who saw the media coverage as anti-Catholic. The kids were in D.C. at a Right to Life event. Anyhow, a question I raised is where were the adult supervisors of the kids? And wasn't it a bit confrontational to have them running around with MAGA hats. Yes, it's their right, but it doesn't make it prudent. This incident happened some time ago now. Hopefully, people are getting over it.

 

The Fox poll showing Trump losing support from independents is troubling for him.

Here's a Fox News poll Trump definitely won't be tweeting about today

excerpt:

"The poll, conducted Sunday through Wednesday, also finds 50 percent want Trump impeached and removed from office, 4 percent say impeached but not removed, and 41 percent oppose impeaching him altogether…

A new high of 45 percent of independents favor impeachment, up from 38 in late October.

Overall, 53 percent of voters believe Trump abused the power of his office, 48 percent think he obstructed Congress, and 45 percent say he committed bribery"

 

Needless to say drumpf is comparing fox to CNN.
