    Giuliani is once again trying to do preemptive damage control for Trump and brace the public for bad news. This time it's for Trump's relationship with Epstein.

    Giuliani has an uncanny ability of acting as a prosecutor when he's supposed to be Trump's defense.



    Rudy Giuliani Returns to Implicate Trump in Epstein Scandal
    The president’s attorney apparently forgot that one of Epstein’s closest pals was Donald Trump, himself.

    Rudy Giuliani Returns to Implicate Trump in Epstein Scandal

    Excerpt:

    "If the Mueller probe taught the world one thing, it’s that anyone professionally associated with Rudy Giuliani should demand a clause in his contract barring him from speaking publicly on their behalf. Last year, for example, in a series of interviews that made his unhinged rant against ferrets look sane, Giuliani suggested that Donald Trump fired James Comey in order to obstruct his investigations; that the president had colluded with Russia but that doing so wasn’t a crime; and that attorneys at his law firm regularly took it upon themselves to pay off porn stars alleging affairs with their clients—to say nothing of cringeworthy fantasies he offered up about riding to Ivanka Trump’s rescue. Now that the Russia matter has mostly concluded—save for testimony by Robert Mueller that could potentially change the impeachment calculus—Giuliani has been forced to find new ways to stick both feet in his mouth. On Monday, he found one!"

    "In related news, the Daily Mail reported Monday that shortly after serving out his extremely light prison sentence on prostitution charges—during which he allegedly continued to engage in “improper sexual contact,” claims his lawyer denies—Epstein partied with a veritable who’s who of Trump administration employees and friends, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and…Rudy Giuliani"

    Trump has adhered to the deep state conservative DC insiders, a far cry from his working class populist campaign platform of 2016 featuring Steve Bannon.

    It has forced Trump for campaign 2020 to rely increasingly on attacking groups such as female Congress members. It's like scenes from All In The Family where Archie displayed his bigotry to any person or group outside his narrow acceptance cone, which was just about anyone except John Wayne and General Motors.

    Some of the downtrodden left-behinders who are his pawns still haven't noticed it. A portion of them, who once prided themselves for self-sufficiency, are actually honoring him for what they perceive as his following through on a promise to give them a farm aid welfare check for the damage he inflicted onto them with his trade war.

    Other working class groups have been damaged by him but go unnoticed because they aren't part of the high-profile, wedge-issue, patriotism ploys like the one that involves farmers.



    Trump Relies on Populist Language, but He Mostly Sides With Corporate Interests

    Trump Relies on Populist Language, but He Mostly Sides With Corporate Interests

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON — History will record last week as a moment when President Trump turned to raw racial appeals to attack a group of nonwhite lawmakers, but his attacks also underscored a remarkable fact of his first term: His rhetorical appeals to white working-class voters have not been matched by legislative accomplishments aimed at their economic interests.

    As Mr. Trump was lashing out at Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna S. Pressley, House Democrats were passing a minimum wage bill with scant Republican support and little expectation of Senate passage. On the same day, the president issued a perfunctory announcement naming Eugene Scalia, a corporate lawyer and the son of Antonin Scalia, the former Supreme Court justice, as his new secretary of labor on the recommendation of Senator Tom Cotton, a hard-line Arkansas conservative."

    One third of Americans have four year degrees or better, yet it is illegal to vote for Mickey Mouse. I think its personal myself.

    The FBI says different and I'm not sure how you can say this.

    So white people have no issue in America with people who are not white and don't speak English? White people are not concerned with Islam "taking over". If you say these statements are true then what Trump ran on is false. There is a certain kind of American who is American and a way of life to be protected. The 14 words say what they do for a reason and it's essentially the Trump platform. Listen to Alex Jones and his ilk for example and he will go on about Muslims no go zones and how dangerous it is for white women. Now read the link and see how they too are worrying who fucks white women. It must be a certain sort of man or else the race will die.

    Fourteen Words - Wikipedia

    And what reason is there to lie about this? It's not as if only people who are not white vote Democrat. There is literally no reason to have a racial conspiracy like this.

    In fact what you say feeds right into white supremacy. You are not racist just "proud" and it's so unfair society labeled you as racist when you just want a logical and safe society for your people. So there is no racism except against you for this pride.

    Trump transition adviser convicted on foreign-agent charges
    By JOSH GERSTEIN
    07/23/2019 03:32 PM EDT
    Updated 07/23/2019 08:14 PM EDT

    Trump transition adviser convicted on foreign-agent charges

    excerpt:

    "A federal jury on Tuesday convicted Bijan Rafiekian, a former business partner of Michael Flynn, on a pair of foreign-agent felony charges stemming from work the two men did for Turkish interests during the final months of the Trump presidential campaign in 2016.

    The verdicts, returned by jurors in Alexandria, Va., after a weeklong trial and only about four hours of deliberation, amount to a belated courtroom victory for special counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated the $600,000 lobbying and public relations contract at the heart of the case and then handed the matter off to other federal prosecutors after Flynn’s guilty plea to a false-statement charge in 2017."

    Trump attacks female non-white members of Congress once again, this time at a teen summit.



    Trump says he can name 20 more Dems who are like the 'squad'

    Trump says he can name 20 more Dems who are like the 'squad'

    excerpt:

    "During Tuesday's speech, Trump said the self-described "squad" is "not what we want representing us."

    "These are people that I believe, honestly, I believe they hate our country," he said.

    The president's remarks drew cheers and chants of "four more years" from the crowd of mostly high school students attending a teen summit sponsored by Turning Point USA, which describes itself as a youth organization dedicated to educating and training and students "to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.""

    Mueller's opening statement will be the best indicator of how he will testify

    Random thoughts on your post.

    There is no way to say any one race believes any one thing. The president did not run on racism. No white American alive today has ever lived in a land without non-white people and who all spoke English. I am pretty well read, been a news junkie and student of history my whole life and have never heard of the fourteen words until your link.

    I am 62 years old and I think it’s agreed that our society continues to become less racist as time goes by. I find it interesting that the less racist we become as a society, the more hysterical we become about racism. And there are definite reasons certain interests would want to create an issue of white supremacy, mostly political. Victim hood has its rewards.

    And I do want a logical and safe society for my people. I define my people as every American. Every last one. Even those with whom I disagree.

    I was wrong to imply white supremacy is a totally made up bug-a-boo. But it is an insignificant factor in our society.

    Trump administration wants to disqualify 3 million families from food stamps, but critics say it will cut off a ‘life line’
    By Jeanette Settembre
    Published: July 24, 2019 2:38 p.m. ET

    Trump administration wants to disqualify 3 million families from food stamps, but critics say it will cut off a ‘life line’

    excerpt:

    "“The administration’s ill-conceived proposal will kick millions of people off SNAP — seniors, children, working families and the disabled. It is yet another attack on hungry Americans that ignores the clearly-stated will of Congress,” Rep. Marcia Fudge, a Democrat from Ohio and chair of the House Agriculture Committee, said in a statement.

    Fudge explained that similar proposals were debated in the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills, and both were rejected because so many states rely on having the flexibility to categorize SNAP eligibility. “The ugly truth no one in this administration wants to admit is this: The economy isn’t working for our most vulnerable. They still need a hand up, not a heartless, mean-spirited policy.”

    More than two-thirds of SNAP participants are families with children, yet in places where healthy food is scarce, 29% are not eligible for most federal nutrition-assistance programs like SNAP, according to a study by Feeding America."

    Trump made those remarks at Turning Point USA’s Teen Student Action Summit, the same event where he again insulted non-white female Congress members.

    You've said this often enough. What does it mean? Are you just saying votes for a non-living person won't be counted?
