Can anybody stop Biden? Challengers make their case to California Dems

"SAN FRANCISCO — While 14 top Democratic presidential candidates swarmed the Golden State this weekend for the California Democratic Party’s convention and related events, one was conspicuously absent: former vice president and early frontrunner Joe Biden, who decided to skip the festivities in favor of an LGBTQ-rights gala 2,500 miles away in Columbus, Ohio".

A tale of 2 invoices: Beto O'Rourke pays El Paso, while Donald Trump's campaign still owes $470,000

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Actually, which one it depended on what street you stood on during a chilly winter evening in El Paso, Texas.

On one side of town, raucous crowds gathered at the El Paso County Coliseum. With American flags and banners reading "Finish the Wall" displayed above him, President Donald Trump hailed his "big, beautiful" border wall as the reason for El Paso's low crime rate".

USA TODAY exclusive: Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills


"During the Atlantic City casino boom in the 1980s, Philadelphia cabinet-builder Edward Friel Jr. landed a $400,000 contract to build the bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars, and other cabinets at Harrah's at Trump Plaza.

The family cabinetry business, founded in the 1940s by Edward’s father, finished its work in 1984 and submitted its final bill to the general contractor for the Trump Organization, the resort’s builder".

A brief history of Trump's small-time swindles

"Trump has long claimed to be a fierce defender of the "forgotten" American. In his unsettlingly dark inauguration address, for example, Trump declared: "The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now. ... And I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down."

But Trump has long made a career of letting down just these sorts of Americans".

Trump 'deadly serious' about Mexico tariffs, White House official says

"Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney gave a stern warning about President Trump's upcoming decision to whether to impose tariffs on Mexican goods in retaliation to illegal immigration".

http://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-deadly-serious-about-mexico-tariffs-white-house-official-says-205106686.html

Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago when the White house was praising Mexico for stepping up their game and doing everything they could to prevent the caravans? Now The Stable One is slapping tariffs on them. Take that, the American consumer.

Bernie Sanders Rips Joe Biden's 'Middle Ground' Policies

"SAN FRANCISCO ― Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took a veiled shot at former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday, arguing in a speech to the California Democratic Party convention that Biden’s “middle ground” approach would fail both to address the country’s problems and to unseat President Donald Trump".

You shouldn't tell others where they are wrong and then turn right around and do the same thing yourself. You have no idea whether this guy is left, right or somewhere in between. Since my last post on this subject I found out this guy is one of those animal rights activists.

But either way, who have been the ones doing things like this? Trump followers. Who has been the ones trying to kill Democrats/liberals? Trump followers. And that's just the truth of the matter. So, when something like this happens, the first thing people think, Trump follower.

Fact, this could have been much worse than what it was. He could have very well jumped right up on stage and shot her before anyone could have done anything.

Biden faces stiff criticism from Democrats for skipping California convention

"SAN FRANCISCO – Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden decided to skip this weekend’s California Democratic Primary, but he was hardly forgotten.

The former vice president was the only top tier White House hopeful to take a pass on the convention that draws some of state party's most active supporters. Instead, Biden headed to Ohio to speak at an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots".

Wide range of emotions on impeachment underscores challenge

"YORKTOWN, Va. (AP) — In suburban Philadelphia, it took a little more than eight minutes into the question-and-answer session at freshman Rep. Madeleine Dean’s town hall before someone asked about impeachment.

The topic was broached in Southern California as Rep. Katie Porter fielded other questions on health care, homelessness, border security, and the minimum wage.

In military heavy Yorktown, along coastal Virginia, another newly elected Democrat, Rep. Elaine Luria, never got asked about it at all".

If Nancy Pelosi Wants to Uphold Her Legacy, She Should Impeach Trump

"Most of us live in survival mode. We're just trying to get through the day, or the week, or the year. Or exerting superhuman efforts to scrape together that $400 we don't have on hand if an emergency strikes. But very important people spend more time pondering the very long run: their legacies. The important plan to put their names on buildings. Give their wealth to charity. I imagine Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House, has started thinking about hers"

"It was 1989 and Donald Trump — “not widely known outside New York,” where he was a real estate developer and Art of the Deal author — had something he wanted to say.

“You better believe that I hate the people who took this girl and raped her brutally. You better believe it,” Trump, then some three decades from becoming president, reportedly told a packed room of people at a news conference in the wake of a notorious assault on a white woman jogging in Central Park.

A group of teenage boys, black and Hispanic, had quickly been detained in the investigation, which generated intense media attention".

Trump’s Mexico tariff plan divides Republicans

"President Trump’s latest effort to crack down on migration at the southern border by imposing punitive tariffs on Mexican goods appears to be driving a wedge between the White House and some of Trump’s biggest supporters in the Senate — including immigration hard-liners who ordinarily back him on border security issues. Among Senate Republicans, only Lindsey Graham of South Carolina publicly backed the tariff plan.

“I support nearly every one of President Trump’s immigration policies, but this is not one of them,” Sen. Chuck Grassley said Thursday evening, shortly after the White House announced its new tariff tactic.

Grassley, an Iowa Republican and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which handles trade issues, told reporters Thursday that the move was “a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional intent," and expressed concern that “following through on this threat would seriously jeopardize passage of USMCA,” the new trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico that the Trump administration is pushing as a replacement for the existing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Documents expose political motivation behind census citizenship question

"With the Supreme Court thought to be weeks away from ruling on whether a citizenship question can be included in the 2020 census, newly discovered documents suggest that the reason the Trump administration sought to add it in the first place was to provide a political advantage to “Republicans and non-Hispanic Whites".

WikiLeaks' Julian Assange too sick to appear by video link for U.S. extradition hearing

Trump hitting Mexico with 5% tariff in response to migrants

"WASHINGTON (AP) — In a surprise announcement that could compromise a major trade deal, President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he is slapping a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports to pressure the country to do more to crack down on the surge of Central American migrants trying to cross the U.S. border".

http://www.apnews.com/afec271c5f9c4fdb82f57b48cb593add


I’m curious if Trump has considered how Mexico is supposed to stop people from leaving?

I don't think he can even reconcile a checkbook! 5% tariff will be paid by the Americans who buy trucks and cars assembled in Mexico and imported food. Every dime of taxes, tariffs, fees, etc is added to the price of imports and it's the American people who pay it, not the foreign companies or governments.

Is that all he knows how to do?
