Donald Trump's US President Odds Improving!!

[Hareeba!]

George Conway

As described in this excellent article, here’s the attitude of the president of the United States toward the laws he has sworn to faithfully execute:

The Washington Post Story, about my speech in North Carolina and tweet, with its phony sources who do not exist, is Fake News. The only thing people were talking about is the record setting crowd and the tremendous enthusiasm, far greater than the Democrats. You’ll see in 2020!


Maggie Haberman

Story begins staff saying they weren’t sure he understood what he did with the tweet (in part because if they concede he knew then it raises uncomfortable questions for themselves) which is always something that upsets him.


George Conway

.@realDonaldTrump: You shouldn’t be mad at them, because they are trying to suggest that you’re not a racist, but, rather, an idiot.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work: It’s possible to be both.

As you are.


Some avoid those “uncomfortable questions” by convincing themselves that @realDonaldTrump is a not-too-bright, unfairly picked-on albeit bratty child who can’t help but soil himself, and that they perform a public service by constantly trying to change his political diapers.


.@realDonaldTrump: Now everyone who didn’t know about it wants to read the story that you referred to.

You’re such a stable genius!

[Hareeba!]

The Dem consultant industry must be booming now with all of the spin they and their media counterparts are throwing out these days. I’ll give them this....they craft words really well.

When Trump says anything it’s “racist”

When a Dem criticizes white men, mocks Jews, tells blacks they aren’t black enough unless they do xyz and says black and brown voters need to vote on racial identity that’s all merely “controversial”.

After the “squad” head their mic moment last week they said they aren’t taking the bait and firing back to attack Trump they are focused on policy and rising above .....two minutes later they fund raise on the fight and the last few days have been stories about Squad “hits at Trump” “takes dig at Trump” until he says something in return and it’s “trump continues viscious assault
On squad” as if he was the aggressor.

For as long as I can remember the politically correct term has been “African American” for blacks born in the US and if a white guy says can we just call them Americans because aren’t they born here? The reply would be hell no we’re African that’s our heritage....our culture....remember the motherland Wakanda forever and proudly displaying African colors and mirror that culture......as soon as Trump came along and said they are attached to African countries somehow a massive shift happened and now the word is “people of color” and the culture is Minnesota and All American heritage it’s racist to associate them with African countries. 

We heard if Trump wins liberals were leaving and going to Canada they were leaving...they don’t love it ....Trump says if you don’t like it leave now .....racist how dare he suggest anyone leave if he’s President.

You lunatics are hilarious.

The ZERO CREDIBILITY Pickle's daily rambling diatribes make less and less sense every day!

His time would be far better spent reading Mueller's report.

He really needs to move on to addressing all the corruption and rank failures of his cult leader's administration.

And learning the scientific truths behind the stories in his growing "hyperbole" collection.

Perhaps then there might be (at least a remote glimmer of) hope that his presence on this planet can actually make a positive difference.

This is the same man who pledged not to use his office for the benefit of his businesses.

Early in his presidency, Trump's Bedminster golf club advertised if you had your wedding there on a weekend he was in attendance, he would likely stop by. And he just did.

The Trump 2020 campaign likes to say "finish the wall," but government data shows they are misleading the public because no new fence has gone up on the border in the 30 months since he took office.

Trump has not built a single mile of new border fence after 30 months in office


https://t.co/H3IDm8TIRa


George Conway

If the countless false statements made by Trump and his administration about the nonexistent new border wall (or fence or barrier or whatever) and its nonexistent Mexican funding had been made by a public company, they would constitute criminal securities and wire fraud.

He started catching heat when he’s ranting about no $15/hr wage but only paying his staff $13 while he’s making more from their work and buying beach houses off the efforts they do. So he told his money guys to change his pay scale.....they came back to him and said yes boss but in order to pay $15/hr and stay in the black we need to cut staff as well as lower hours of other employees. Hint hint.....that’s the way business works you dumbass socialist 😂😂😂😂

So much for everyone gets what money they want everyone gets free benefits everyone gets vacation days.

This guy makes a lot of good points


Tim Wise


1/ If the Dems blow this election it will not be because they were "too far left on policy" or because they "weren't left enough." It will have little to do with policy at all. They are making a mistake caused by traditional consultant theory that does not apply here...



2/ And by listening to influential pundits in liberal media who also don't get the unique nature of Trumpism, relative to normal political movements & campaigns...this election is NOT going to be won by talking about all your "great plans" for health care, jobs, education, etc..


3/ And the reasons are several...Let me begin by saying that I have experience confronting the kind of phenomenon we see in Trumpism, and far more than most. Any of us who were involved in the fight against David Duke in LA in 90/91 know what this is and how it must be fought...


4/ So before explaining what the Dems are doing wrong right now, a little history...In 1990, white supremacist David Duke ran for U.S. Senate in LA, and in 1991 for Governor. He lost both times but both times he won the majority of the white vote (60 and 55% respectively)...


5/ I was one of the staffers of the main anti-Duke PAC at the time & ultimately became Assistant Director. In 90, even though our Director Lance Hill, myself & a few of our founders wanted to focus on Duke's bigotry, ties to extremists and appeals to white racial resentment...


6/ ...after all, that WAS the issue--it was a moral struggle against racism--we had mainstream Democratic consultants who warned us against focusing too much on it. They said that "played into Duke's hands" and allowed him to set the agenda....


7/ So sure, we could discuss his ties to Nazis & such, but we shouldn't make a big deal out of his contemporary racist appeals, per se, bc "lots of voters agree" with those appeals...they even encouraged us to talk about utterly superfluous shit like Duke paying his taxes late..


8/ Or Duke avoiding service in Vietnam, or Duke writing a sex manual under a female pseudonym (yeah he did that)...although Lance held firm that we needed to talk mostly about racism, we did end up talking about some of that other stuff too, sadly...


9/ I say "sadly" because doing that normalized Duke as a regular candidate. Attacking his generic character or bill paying habits (or even discussing his inadequate plans for job creation, etc) treated him like a normal candidate. But he was/is a NAZI...


10/ And none of his voters were voting 4 him bc of jobs, or tax policy or support for term limits, etc. And none were going to turn on him over late tax payments, Vietnam, etc. Indeed throwing that stuff out there & downplaying the elephant in the room (racism) seemed desperate..


11/ It allowed people to say "well if he's really this racist, white supremacist, why are they talking about all this other stuff?" It actually undermined our ability to paint him as the extremist he was/is. And as a result, the threat he posed was not clear enough to voters...


12/ And this didn't just allow him to get votes he might not have gotten otherwise; it also depressed turnout among people who almost certainly disliked him but didn't think he could win or would be all that big a deal if he did. In fact I recall convos with "liberals"...


13/ ...Who said they weren't going 2 vote bc after all Duke's Dem opponent was just a shill for the oil and gas industry, and that was just as bad, blah blah fukking blah...because some lefties can't tell the difference between corporatist assholes and actual literal Nazis...


14/ But we bore some responsibility for that because we got suckered into playing this conventional game and "not playing into his narrative." Anyway, Duke gets 60% of the vote, black and white liberal turnout is lower than it should have been and Duke gets 44% of vote...


15/ In the Governor's race we dispensed w/ all that bullshit. We talked about Duke's ongoing Nazism and the moral/practical evil of his racist appeals. We discussed how that moral evil would have real world consequences (driving tourists and business away, rightly so, from LA)..


16/ Because it was wrong, and it was not who we wanted to be, and it was not who were. We were better than that and needed to show the rest of the country that...


17/ Now, did this flip any of Duke's 1990 voters? Nah, not really. Indeed he got 65k MORE votes in the Governor's race than the Senate race. But it was never about flipping them. We knew that would be almost impossible...


18/ To flip Duke voters would require that they accept the fact that they had previously voted for a monster, and people are loath to do that. Our goal was not to flip them, but to DRIVE UP TURNOUT among the good folks, many of whom stayed home in 90...


19/ And that is what happened. The concerted effort of the anti-Duke forces (not just us), challenging Duke's "politics of prejudice," and making the election about what kind of state we wanted to be, drove turnout through the roof...


20/ 28,000+ registered on one day alone, between the initial election and runoff (which Duke made bc of the state's open primary system), with tens of thousands more overall: most of them, anti-Duke folks...


21/ When it was over, Duke had gotten 65k more votes than in 90, but his white share went to 55 (from 60) and overall to 39 (from 44) because the anti-Duke turnout swamped him...So what does this have to do with 2020 and Trump? Do I really need to explain it?...


22/ First, trying to flip Trump voters is a waste of time. Any of them who regret their vote don't need to be pandered to. They'll do the right thing. Don't focus on them. That said, very few will regret their vote. They cannot accept they voted for a monster or got suckered...


23/ Duke retained 94% of the folks he got the first time out (and got new people too), as Trump likely will. So forget these people--or at least don't wast time tailoring messages to them. And policy plans for affordable college don't mean shit to them, nor health care...


24/ Their support for Trump was never about policy. It was about the bigotry, the fact that he hates who they hate...Second, as for the "undecideds." ...Not many of these but seriously? If you're still undecided at this point about this guy...


25/ Then there is almost no way to know what would get you to make up your mind...I doubt it's a plan to deal with Wall Street though, or infrastructure, or tax policy...


26/ If anything, I would say crafting an argument that this is an existential crisis for the nation--and making it about Trump's bigotry and who we want to be as a country, would be far more effective in inspiring them to make up their minds...


27/ And what I know for a FACT is that this message--that Trumpism is a threat to everything we care about and love about this country--is what will inspire the Dem base to vote...and THAT is what this election is about...


28/ I'm not saying the Dems don't need policy ideas, but focusing on wonky, look-how-much-I've-thought about-this stuff is not going to move the needle in 2020...


29/ What the left never understands is: we need to stop approaching elections like the goddamned debate team, and start approaching it like the right does, like the cheerleading squad...


30/ The right knows psychology and we know public policy and sociology...great. The latter does not win elections...


31/ People who say the Dems should ignore Trump's race baiting because its some genius political strategy calculated to distract us, are idiots. He is no genius. And if you downplay it you NORMALIZE him. If you make this about policy, you NORMALIZE him. He is a racist...


32/ He is a white nationalist. He is an authoritarian. He and his cult are a threat to the future of the nation and world because of their hatreds. His movement betrays the country's promise. THAT is the message that will drive turnout. Not debates over marginal tax rates...


33/ Or how we are going to fund schools...And anyone who says we should ignore the race baiting to talk more about Mueller and Russia is an even bigger fool...that's like talking about Duke and late tax payments or other corruptions...it might all be true but is not the point...


34/ Not to say the House shouldn't impeach over that stuff. They should. But the 2020 candidates must craft a message that is not about that. Trumpism is the threat to America, more than Putin. And Putin didn't birth Trumpism. Conservative White America did...

I know I'm wasting my time issuing challenges to this COWARD because he just doesn't respond to them.

Dem candidates are advocating for socialism.
Dem candidates are advocating for "open borders"
AOC said she saw women drinking from toilets.

Official Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs, India.

We have seen @POTUS's remarks to the press that he is ready to mediate, if requested by India & Pakistan, on Kashmir issue.

No such request has been made by PM @narendramodi to US President.

It has been India's consistent position .that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally.

Any engagement with Pakistan would require an end to cross border terrorism.

The Shimla Agreement & the Lahore Declaration provide the basis to resolve all issues between India & Pakistan bilaterally.

another fake hate crime from a black dem congresswoman in Georgia this time. Last week the media made her accusation go viral that I’m a poor pregnant tired weak black woman just trying to buy my kids food when this racist white man ran at her in the checkout lane and said she needs to back to the country she came from and she feared for her life that he might be in the parking lot with a gun or lynch her.....this dude pushed back and challenged her good for him! Now she backed off her story and admits he never said go back to your country and she was in the wrong by having almost 20 items in the 10 or less lane and when he pointed it out to her....as surveillance showed....she lit into him yelling so he said wow what a lazy bitch you are and left. So not only was she in the wrong, he never said the accusation AND she was the aggressor when he was calmly pointing out her actions ......topping on this cake of delicious liberal lunacy.....the dudes not some southern racist shire MAGA guy....he’s Cuban and a lifelong democrat who hates Trump and will always support Dems. 😂😂😂😂😂 She and Smollett need a podcast together.

On what, you might ask, is Trump basing that conclusion about the intellectual capacity of these four female progressive Democratic members of Congress?

After all, it's hard to imagine that Trump suddenly gained access to IQ tests for the four.

Or that Ocasio-Cortez's double major in international relations and economics at Boston University or Tlaib's law degree from Western Michigan University were evidence that they weren't smart.

Omar graduated from North Dakota State University.

And Pressley went to Boston University for two years before she dropped out to help her out-of-work mother.


What then, could it be?


The answer of course is that all four members of "The Squad" are a) women and b) people of color.

Trump's Hardline Immigration Chief Was Unlawfully Appointed, Advocates Say

"What they’ve done here is given the president unlimited power to install whoever he wants in a position.


He knew Cuccinelli couldn’t be confirmed through the Senate."



Immigration advocacy groups are challenging the legitimacy of Ken Cuccinelli’s appointment as acting director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, calling on the Department of Justice to force the former Virginia attorney general to prove he is legally eligible to serve in the role.


In a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr on Monday, the advocates claim that Cuccinelli’s appointment violated a federal law governing which officials can be picked to lead agencies on an acting or interim basis.
