White Executive Privilege
"Millions of Americans have been sold a fraud that the election was stolen. Republicans have the duty to tell the American people that this is not true. Perpetuating the Big Lie is an attack on the core of our constitutional republic."
Rep. Elizabeth Cheney
NOTE TO CAROLINE KENNEDY:
Liz deserves next year's Profiles in Courage Award. Just a suggestion.
Can you imagine the shit-storm of outraged political invective that would have hit the fan had Barack Obama claimed "executive privilege" post presidency? No, neither can I. The right wing SCREAM machine would have gone into convulsions of spastic apoplexy had something that unconstitutional transpired. Let's just understate the situation by saying that they would not have taken it too well, okay? Once they had come back into consciousness, they would have rightly pointed out that executive privilege only pertains to sitting presidents and that, once they are out of office, they're on their own. Can you see Jimmy Carter citing "executive privilege" after being out of office for nearly forty years? Then again, in my wildest and weirdest dreams, I cannot even imagine Jimmy attempting anything quite that ridiculous. The man has an abundance of common sense. Donald Trump - on the other hand - is ridiculous personified.
Any hopes we might have had that Donald Trump would gently disappear into that good night of obscurity have been dashed. He has revived his role as the greatest cancer on our national political conversation, and he is apparently determined to stay there. He is back at the rally pulpit and has every intention of staying there until at least January 20, 2025. Aren't I lucky? For someone who thrives on political craziness and unintentional comedy, this is a great time to be alive, indeed.
Trump is demanding that the Biden White House not release any documents pertaining to his final months in office. NBC News has obtained a letter to the National Archives written by White House counsel Dana Remus:
"President Biden has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interest of the United States. and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents."
What happened in Washington D.C. nine months and five days ago marked the first time in our two-hundred and forty-five year history that the USA did not have a peaceful transfer of power. We had a presidential election just prior to the outset of the American civil war - and one during it. Both transfers of power were peaceful. In 1861 and 1865, not a drop of blood was spilled on the streets of Washington. Not so in 2021. If it is revealed that the former president of the "United" States of America had prior knowledge of and took part in what went down on that infamous day, he needs to be prosecuted (as they say) "to the fullest extent of the law" and sent to prison for the rest of his miserable life - or whatever is left of it. It's called "sedition" kiddies. There's something for you to ponder.

You keep pointing out Republican and "conservative" hypocrisy, but we all know they've got their mind set a certain way. It's not hypocrisy to them when they can use their Olympic-level mental gymnastics to justify why it's okay for them or it's a non-issue in that context and why it's tyranny and the end of democracy as we know it when someone with a D next to their name does anything.
Debt? Rar!
Executive Orders? Tyranny!
Playing Golf! Lazy, you work for me!

7. Religion and government intertwined
8. Corporate power protected

News flash kiddies. This is not the Left.
A new Rasmussen poll highlighted in the Washington Examiner reports that 56% of Americans surveyed believe “It’s likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 41% who say it’s ‘very likely.’”
This is a significant increase from April, Paul Bedard notes, when 51% of respondents said it was ‘likely’ that cheating took place in the presidential election. Thus, the mass censorship of Americans who question the election, including former President Donald Trump himself, only appears to be exacerbating doubts.
Furthermore, the great majority of Americans seek to avoid a repeat of the 2020 elections by forbidding mass absentee voting by mail.
“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 65% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that wider use of mail-in voting will lead to more cheating in elections, including 51% who say it’s Very Likely,” the report noted. “Twenty-eight percent (28%) don’t think more mail-in voting will mean more cheating, including 14% who say it is Not At All Likely.”
While 95% agree that election cheating should be stopped, the Democratic Party continues to push federal legislation that would expand mass mail-in voting, while opposing strict voter ID laws. The Democrats’ opposition to voting integrity legislation is only fueling doubts about the legitimacy of U.S. elections.
US Traitors Who Gave Away Secrets on US Submarines to a Foreign Power Had a ‘Black Lives Matter’ Sign in Their Front Yard...A Maryland Navy nuclear engineer and his wife were arrested and charged with espionage after getting caught trying to sell nuclear submarine technology to a foreign power. Jonathan Toebbe, 42, and his wife Diana, 45, both of Annapolis, were arrested on Saturday and charged with violations of the Atomic Energy Act.
Opinion polls on election cheating somehow forget to include Trump's coup.
"The Democrats’ opposition to voting integrity legislation is only fueling doubts about the legitimacy of U.S. elections."
No. It is Trump and radical Right's BIG LIE that has brainwashed and fueling doubt in idiots.
There's no evidence of significant mail in ballot fraud. Or any other fraud. None. But the polls don't tell anyone that, do they? Rasmussen is partisan.
Too many Americans believe a criminal liar and his stooges. THAT is the threat to our democracy.
Nobody cheats more than Republicans and Trump. Just the facts.

Trafalgar Group Poll: 75 Percent of Voters Disapprove of Kamala Harris’s Handling of Border Crisis
Majority of Democrats rate 'border czar's' performance 'poor'.
A majority of Americans polled by the Trafalgar Group in July also said Harris was not ready to be president. The Trafalgar Group is best known for accurately predicting the 2016 presidential election.
Has she done ANYTHING since July to improve her readiness?
Yes and they completely blew the 2020 predictions.
See, most people want Biden to end the filibuster and stop trying to work with McConnell. It helps to say WHY people disapprove.
There is no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Even the Cyber Ninja "Audit" said that Biden won and trump lost...
Or are you NOW claiming trump IS President after telling us so many times he's not?
You can't tell us why conservatives are afraid of people voting.
You can't tell us why new magic ID's are necessary.
You can't tell us who will PAY for all these new ID's and what the grounds for refusal would be.
You can't admit that trump LIED about the election being stolen
You refuse to admit that the Covid "hot spots" are in states where the governors are thwarting efforts to contain it and that over 95% of all hospitalizations (and deaths) are the unvaccinated.
You can't tell us if you are vaccinated.
But you can LIE and DEFLECT.
The Majority of Americans still oppose Trump and the GOP. They just want President Biden to stop trying to compromise. We know that the GOP doesn't care about us.
Keep plagiarizing. We all know you can't think for yourself.
Overall, we rate the Washington Free Beacon Right Biased based on story selection that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to misleading and false claims.

Biden said at the time that his administration was "bringing together the port operators, shipping lines, the labor unions, trucking companies, railroads, and others to speed up the port's operations."
But the Washington Post, which endorsed Biden in 2020, reported in an in-depth feature the "commercial pipeline that each year brings $1 trillion worth of toys, clothing, electronics and furniture from Asia to the United States is clogged and no one knows how to unclog it."
Biden chose Buttigieg as Transportation secretary even though he was "completely unqualified," and now the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor "is absent during a transportation crisis that is hurting working-class Americans."
Buttigieg has said in recent interviews that "it's an incredibly complicated situation," but the government is holding virtual "roundtables" with port operators, labor unions and private companies. Nevertheless, he told MSNBC last Thursday, the "challenges" will continue, not only "going into the next year or two, but going into the long term."
The paper quoted Brian Bourke, chief growth officer at SEKO Logistics, warning the problem is "going to get worse again before it gets better."
"Global supply chains are not built for this. Everything is breaking down," he said.
And the polls reflect this concern, this total mess created by Biden.
Sybil thinks that Christmas is all about spending money. If some corporate whore can't watch people beating the shit out of each other at 5 AM over an X Box "Christmas is ruined".
Maybe if Trump had handled the pandemic like a LEADER instead of an inconvenience...
Biden is about as popular as a fever blister.
Most Americans Don't Know Much Specifically About Biden's Build Back Better Plan.
Sybil doesn't know much about anything.
Most Americans knew enough about trump to reject his attempt to hand the USA to Vlad Putin.
ANd President Biden is very popular with everyone BUT Fascists.
You won't tell us why conservatives are afraid of people voting.
You won't tell us why new magic ID's are necessary.
You wont't tell us who will PAY for all these new ID's and what the grounds for refusal would be.

But you can certainly WHINE.
Are you looking forward to next 60,000 Haitians illegally crossing into America bringing with them all those rocket scientists and brain surgeons to help with Biden's Building Back Better plan?
I know I am.
^^^^ Racism isn't racism to the racist.
Polling from Navigator Research shows high support for the Build Back Better Act with support from:
66 percent of Americans
61 percent of Independents
39 percent of Republicans

Husband & Wife Charged With Selling Nuclear Secrets to Foreign Power Are Anti-Trump Leftists
Social media presence littered with anti-Trump posts, support for BLM.
Diana Toebbe and Jonathan Toebbe were charged with violations of the Atomic Energy Act by federal prosecutors after they tried to sell nuclear-powered submarine secrets to someone who they thought was a representative of the unnamed foreign country.
Imagine how surprised I am.
A former African slave said that Black Lives Matter and critical race theory advocates do not understand what is happening in Africa, where more than 9.2 million people "are still in captivity in slavery."
"I believe Black Lives Matter does not understand what is going on in Africa. They don't know what is going on around the world," Bol Gai Deng, a former slave and South Sudanese presidential candidate, said during an interview with CBN News.

Remember who brought us 9-11?
Why am I not surprised?
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-admin-gave-green-light-nuclear-permits-saudi-arabia-after-n1013826
ANd why don't YOU tell us about Biden's plan Sybil, you seem to be the expert.
Critical race theory is about slavery in AMERICAN history. BLM is trying to make the UNITED STATES constitution apply to all.
BTW, Jesus and God are MYTHS, and it is impossible to be Christian and conservative at the same time.
WHY DIDN'T TRUMP END THE SLAVERY IN THOSE NATIONS?
Sybil,
You won't tell us why conservatives are afraid of people voting.

Why are we not surprised?
The Biden administration recently said that Haitian immigrants caught crossing over illegally would be sent to Florida, and now a new video posted on Twitter by Bill Garber shows a small group of US Government buses traveling east on I-10 in Jefferson County, which is just east of Tallahassee.
Good, Florida will not have a shortage of brain surgeons and rocket scientist after all.
Thanks Joe.
Why not send them to Florida? They welcome Cubans with open arms. What's the difference?
Why are Cubans "refugees" but all other refugees are "animals"?
Gotta love a guy who uses Twitter as a source. LOL

“Hunter Biden isn’t Trump, but what’s he’s up to is bad and deserves your attention — even if you hate Fox News.”
Business Insider
Hurr, Hurr, Hunter Biden, Hurr, Hurr.
Jared, Ivanka, Jr, and Eric are not Bidens, and what they've been up to is bad and deserves your attention — even if you hate CNN.
Can anyone explain how Hunter Biden is any different from Jared, Ivanka, Jr, and Eric in using their father's name to grift millions for themselves?
Anyone?
Even CNN’s Chris Cillizza Admits Americans Want Less Government and Dear Leader Biden Ain’t Cutting It
Senior Analyst Chris Cillizza said the quiet part out loud today when he acknowledged several important truths in his column. First, he acknowledged that Biden is a radical. It’s not the first time he admitted it and hopefully it won’t be the last. Second, he said that the Biden-Harris regime’s plans for massive infrastructure and social safety net bills will introduce massive amounts of government into our lives. Third, he quoted a poll that showed Americans are done with big government after the failures we’ve seen this year.
In short, centrists and conservatives are ready for government to stop meddling and just get the heck out of lives. Leftists are still lost in their crusade to find someone to save them.
“Everything Has Gone Up!” Prices Explode At Grocery Stores Around The Country/World…
WALTHAM (CBS) – “The meat is above and beyond all right?” Fadia Chamoun of Lexington lamented as she packed her trunk full of groceries. “It has gone sky high. Everything has gone sky high and it’s extremely sad.”
If it feels like lately everything is more expensive, that’s because it is.
“The government [just] released that prices over the past 12 months have increased 5.4% and that marks the fifth month in a row of over 5% price increases,” Boston University Questrom School of Business professor Jay Zagorsky explained. “That means that roughly every 14 or 15 years, all prices double. Everything is twice as expensive if this keeps up.”
The price increases have hit certain industries particularly hard over the last year. Used car prices are up about 24 percent. The cost of meat has gone up 12 percent in 12 months. Home heating oil is up an estimated 43 percent. Another area on the top of many commuters’ minds: gas prices, which have risen by more than $1 a gallon
If Vern wants less govt. in his life, he should return his Social Security and Medicare benefits to cover more tax cuts for billionaires and subsidies for corporations.
Vern don't need no socialist roads and bridges neither, amirite?
Meat prices up in Iowa because trump ran of the "illegals" working there. He cut the budget for INSPECTORS increasing the possibility of bad meat getting through.
Many places are experiencing shortages due to the covid shutdowns, which would have been MUCH shorter had trump not blown off the pandemic as an "inconvenience that will go way on it's own".
BTW Sybil, the INTERNET is publicly funded making it a "Socialist" entity.
Better give that up as well.
‘Not a militiaman – a longtime FBI informant’: BOMBSHELL piece has people questioning if Jan 6 was part of FBI’s ‘Operation Cold Snap’
According to BuzzFeed’s exceptional July 2021 investigative report on the FBI-led plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, Robeson “helped organize the national meeting, and he was enthusiastically pushing people he knew to attend.” The purpose of the conference was to recruit people who ultimately would stoke “political violence” against governors who refused to reopen their states after lockdowns supposedly necessitated by COVID.
Some participants said Robeson, known as “Robey,” relentlessly pestered them until they agreed to show up; people came from as far as Maryland and Kansas City, BuzzFeed’s Ken Bensinger and Jessica Garrison reported. One member of the Three Percenters, an alleged militia group on the FBI’s naughty list, observed people taking photos from discreet locations in the hotel. “The feds are everywhere,” he thought to himself.
Indeed. One of the feds was Robeson himself.
The event was part of Operation Cold Snap, an FBI gig started in spring 2020 to infiltrate “individuals…discussing the violent overthrow of certain government and law enforcement components.”
Not antifa or BLM. Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters. Same guys at J6
Not Antifa or BLM, who were literally destroying property, taking over parts of cities, assaulting and even killing people. NO no, those evil people who lean right.
They’re the real problem.
FBI SA in Whitmer case testimony: “From the FBI…domestic terrorism operation center, I was aware of other FBI investigations in Baltimore and Milwaukee and Cincinnati and Indiana involving other militia members . . . who were attending the national conference in Dublin.”
— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) October 15, 2021
The conference pushed by Robeson.
You know, the FBI informant.
This is mind blowing: “Robeson founded the Wisconsin Patriot Three Percenters. Three Percenters, along with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, are considered right-wing extremist militias by the FBI.”
A decades-long FBI informant started a chapter of a militia group? Sounds legit.
WOW.
Oh man. All these made up stories. Imagine what these right-wingers could come up with if they put those creative energies into writing novels instead of Facebook and blog posts that fool poor "conservative" rubes.
Wah! The FBI FORCED me to become a terrorist. Not fair! Waahh!
Sybil,
You won't tell us why conservatives are afraid of people voting.
You won't tell us why new magic ID's are necessary.
You wont't tell us who will PAY for all these new ID's and what the grounds for refusal would be.
You won't admit that trump LIED about the election being stolen
