Fact, Trump has made his own case against himself.I'll never understand why Republicans can't own what they do. They always have to blame everything on the Democrats. When it's Trump that's digging his own grave. He is a liar, a crook and a con man.
He's already proved it in front of everyone. Except those that wear blinders and refuse to see. They just fall back on the same old, same old. It's the Democrats fault. With really no evidence to back it up. If you just have to blame someone, I can only see two to blame. (1) Trump. He caused his own self to be investigated. (2) Robert Mueller himself. Because he was told by Jeff Sessions to begin an investigation. Not one Democrat had anything to do with it. Until now. It's called "oversight". And now because the Democrats are trying to do their job, let's blame everything on the Democrats. Blaming the Democrats makes no sense. The more the right tries to blame the left for everything. The more ground you lose. Because, just like Trump, you refuse to take responsibility for anything. Trump brought all this on himself. And that's a fact that's not going to change. No matter how many "alternate" facts you think you have. The Obstruction Case Against Trump that Barr Tried to Hide "For nearly a month, the American public has been under the impression, thanks to a four-page "summary" by Attorney General William Barr, that Robert Mueller could not decide whether President Donald Trump had obstructed justice because of “difficult questions of law and fact,” Barr suggested that the special counsel, after 22 months of investigation, simply couldn’t make up his mind and left it to his boss to decide". "Now that we have seen almost the entire report of more than 400 pages, we know Barr intentionally misled the American people about Mueller’s findings and his legal reasoning. As a former federal prosecutor, when I look at Mueller’s work, I don’t see a murky set of facts. I see a case meticulously laid out by a prosecutor who knew he was not allowed to bring it". http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/04/19/barr-obstruction-mueller-trump-226664 ANALYSIS: Mueller report makes a political case against Trump "Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report did not result in a legal case that will be brought against President Donald Trump, despite 22 months of a special counsel inquiry. But Mueller’s team of investigators constructed an intricate and detailed political case against the president, with vast implications for the current Congress and for leaders inside both parties in advance of the 2020 election". http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mueller-report-makes-political-case-trump-analysis/story?id=62456722 |

Case opened: Democrats begin public airing of Mueller report
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says it's "case closed ." But Democrats are just getting started with Robert Mueller . House Democrats have scheduled a series of hearings this coming week on the special counsel's report as they intensify their focus on the Russia probe and pick up the pace on an investigative "path" — in the words of Speaker Nancy Pelosi — that some of them hope leads to impeachment of the president.

Congress and Mueller need to step up and protect America from presidents like Trump
"I was appointed a United States attorney by President Ronald Reagan and later a deputy attorney general by President George H.W. Bush. All of us at the Justice Department swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not a president or political party. It is not easy for me to acknowledge that we are witnessing a slow-motion unraveling of the bedrock belief that no one is above the law, not even the president". http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/06/07/trump-tramples-constitution-congress-mueller-protect-america-column/1351993001/ Even after he has made it clear that they didn't, Trump Voters Who Heard Mueller Decline To Clear Trump Still Think His Report Clears Trump "Robert Mueller refused to exonerate President Donald Trump of wrongdoing last week during a much-anticipated press conference on his investigation into foreign interference in the 2016 election. “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller said in his first public comments since his 448-page report came out in April. “We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime". http://www.yahoo.com/news/mueller-report-statement-poll-210907767.html |

Trump says US, Mexico reach agreement to prevent tariffs
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced late Friday that he had suspended plans to impose tariffs on Mexico, tweeting that the country "has agreed to take strong measures" to stem the flow of Central American migrants into the United States. But the deal the sides agreed to falls short of some of the dramatic overhauls the U.S. had pushed for". http://www.apnews.com/e18f85f3f23f4fdea76831c80540af15 Twitter erupts over Trump claim that the moon 'is a part' of Mars "President Donald Trump on Friday tweeted out a mysterious Mars comment that has social media users blasting off their best jokes. "For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago," he wrote. "They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!". http://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/06/07/twitter-erupts-over-trump-claim-that-the-moon-is-a-part-of-mars/23744042/ It's just like I've already said. For every one thing, he says or does that seems OK, He will say or do something dumb. |

Elizabeth Warren Gains Ground in 2020 Field, One Plan at a Time
"NEWTON, Iowa — To the crowd of Iowans gathered in a school gym on Saturday night, Senator Elizabeth Warren made a request: They should pose a question to the other presidential candidates who come to Iowa seeking their vote. “Ask them: Where do you get your money?” she said. “Are you getting it from a bunch of millionaires?". http://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/28/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-2020.html?module=inline |

Elizabeth Warren Slams Biden’s Support Of Hyde Amendment: ‘It’s Been Wrong For A Long Time’
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) took aim at fellow presidential candidate Joe Biden’s support of the Hyde Amendment on Wednesday, slamming the abortion funding restriction as an attack on underprivileged women that had been “wrong for a long time.” “Here’s how I look at this: I’ve lived in an America where abortions were illegal. And understand this: Women still got abortions,” said Warren, speaking to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes at a town hall-style forum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. “Now, some got lucky on what happened, and some got really unlucky on what happened. But the bottom line is they were there". http://news.yahoo.com/elizabeth-warren-joe-biden-hyde-amendment-025953311.html What Is the Hyde Amendment? A Look at Its Impact as Biden Reverses His Stance "As a wave of highly restrictive state laws have made abortion a key issue in the 2020 campaign, the Hyde Amendment has drawn new scrutiny. Numerous presidential candidates had already come out against the provision before Wednesday, when former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. became the only one to say he supported it, prompting intense criticism. By Thursday, almost all of the other 22 candidates in the Democratic race were on the record calling for its repeal. Less than 48 hours after his initial statement, Mr. Biden changed his mind". http://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/07/us/politics/what-is-the-hyde-amendment.html |

Border Patrol seizing children's medication leads to demand for probe
"Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., is calling for an investigation into allegations that U.S. Border Patrol agents have been confiscating medications from children and adults taken into custody, a practice described in a Yahoo News report this week. Schrier, who is also a pediatrician, cited the Yahoo News report in a letter to the acting inspectors general for the Departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security on Wednesday. She requested urgent investigations into the medical care of migrant children detained at the border". http://news.yahoo.com/border-patrol-children-medications-205948000.html |

2020 Vision: Biden’s 'flip-flop-flip' on abortion funding caps his bad week

Democrats unveil new strategy in subpoena battles with Trump
"WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats are poised to make it easier for their committee chairmen to take President Donald Trump’s administration to court, escalating their legal efforts against a president who has vowed to fight “all of the subpoenas.” A resolution unveiled Thursday would authorize contempt cases against Attorney General William Barr and former White House counsel Donald McGahn for failing to comply with subpoenas. It would also empower committee chairmen to take legal action to enforce subpoenas in the future without a vote of the full House, so long as they have approval from a bipartisan group of House leaders. Democrats have the majority on the five-person group. Trump’s vow to stonewall House Democrats has left them with few good options outside the courtroom to pursue investigations of the president". http://www.apnews.com/cbf87e7a34b74e829f3e5e0e14788274 House Democrats To Make It Easier To Find Trump Aides In Contempt, Bring Them To Court "WASHINGTON — House Democrats are set to vote next week on a resolution that would make it easier for the House of Representatives to drag members of the Trump administration to court ― and to find them in contempt ― for failing to comply with congressional subpoenas". http://www.huffpost.com/entry/house-democrats-trump-aides-contempt-court_n_5cf94b31e4b0638bdfa65c01 DOJ, Commerce reject Dem subpoenas for census docs "The Justice and Commerce departments on Thursday rejected House Democratic demands for more documents about the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census, likely leading to contempt citations for Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross". http://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/06/barr-ross-census-democrats-house-1356569 House To Vote On Holding William Barr In Contempt Over Mueller Report "WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) - The full U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena seeking the full, unredacted report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said on Monday".

The Trump Administration’s Treatment of Migrant Children is a Travesty
"The Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that it’s discontinuing or scaling back recreational, legal, and educational services for detained unaccompanied migrant minors. That means a loss of soccer games, a loss of English classes, and a loss of legal aid. The request will undoubtedly make life worse for the thousands of immigrant children detained in HHS facilities, but the department claims it does not have the funds to continue services and must instead prioritize “safety”. But let’s not kid ourselves. If Trump wanted migrant children to be cared for, they would be cared for. Instead, the administration has long seen children as pawns in the immigration fight, in blatant disregard of both child development and, most likely, the law. So much for being a country that cares about children". http://news.yahoo.com/trump-administration-treatment-migrant-children-210739319.html?.tsrc=jtc_news_index A war is brewing between Trump and corporate America "They may not like his combative style, but business leaders have applauded much of President Trump’s economic agenda. Trump slashed their taxes starting in 2018, sending profits soaring. And he’s killing regulations, making it easier for business to operate. But the honeymoon is ending as a tariff-happy Trump disrupts supply chains all over the world and threatens some U.S. companies outright. Businesses are responding to Trump’s escalating tariffs on imports from China, Mexico and other countries by curtailing investment, which will weaken the economy as Trump is heading for reelection in 2020. And investors unnerved by trade and immigration wars are selling stocks and other risky assets, signaling concern about economic damage Trump may be causing—and even a possible recession. The S&P 500 stock index is down 7% since the end of April, largely on trade worries". http://finance.yahoo.com/news/a-war-is-brewing-between-trump-and-corporate-america-130242396.html New York Offers Up Trump's State Tax Returns—But One Lawmaker Stands in the Way "(Bloomberg) -- House Democrats clamoring for Donald Trump’s tax information have eagerly awaited a newly passed New York law allowing limited access to the president’s state returns. They’re about to be sorely disappointed. House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal would be the only Democrat allowed by the new law to ask for the documents, but so far he has said he won’t do it. Neal has said he fears that getting the state returns would bolster Trump administration arguments that Congress is on a political fishing expedition -- and not, as Neal has claimed, overseeing the Internal Revenue Service’s annual audits of the president. But Neal’s patience may wear thin if a lengthy legal battle with the Trump administration looms while the 2020 presidential campaign heats up and Democratic voters want to see the House hold Trump accountable". http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-05/trump-tax-fight-sows-discord-between-wary-and-warlike-democrats US recovery closes in on 10-year milestone as fears abound that the party is ending "As the U.S. economy inches closer to a record-setting decade of sustained growth, experts are increasingly worried that a cliff — caused by a multi-front trade war —could be looming". http://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-economys-expansion-nears-10-year-mark-amid-fears-the-party-ending-132612236.html |

Trump insults Mueller and Pelosi at U.S. military cemetery in France
"Just before his speech honoring military veterans at a ceremony commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France, President Trump gave an interview marked by insults directed toward the speaker of the House and former special counsel Robert Mueller". http://news.yahoo.com/trump-blasts-pelosi-and-mueller-before-d-day-speech-155400421.html He's scared of Pelosi and Mueller. But mostly Pelosi. He knows it's just a matter of time before the Democrats get him. Eventually, all the subpoenas will be answered. He's only going to be able to obstruct them for so long. That's why he can't keep his mouth shut about it while traveling to other countries. Pelosi has taken up residence in Trump's brain. This was about honoring D day military veterans. But, as usual, Trump had to try to make it about him. |

Since a few months at least I notice that when I react in a FB group to one of the postings that my other friends then like my reaction there, even though they aren't a member of the group. I don't like that, I feel it ruins my personal freedom and privacy, I don't need everyone to know where I hang out and what I say. Is there something I can do about this in privacy settings? Or does this have to do with the privacy settings of that group? I tried to Google it, but not sure how to phrase the question so it didn't help. I think it's only with groups. Hope someone here knows!! Thank you. You should talk to your group administrator about this. He/she should be able to help you with this. FB has started cracking down on a lot of things. Some things still slip through. If you feel it ruins your personal freedom and privacy, The group administrator should be your first go too. |
