Judge blocks DOJ motion to withdraw legal team on census case

"The federal judge overseeing the census case in the Southern District of New York has blocked the government's motion to withdraw its team of lawyers who had been working on the case previously".

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/judge-blocks-doj-motion-withdraw-legal-team-census/story?id=64228596

Lying to federal judges have consequences. But go ahead, Donald. Issue that executive order. Let’s find out where exactly Chief Justice Roberts patience ends with you!

The supreme court has already ruled. Barr's real argument is "we didn't get our way". That's why the DOJ didn't provide any real justification for it. When you appeal a decision back up to the supreme court that has already failed your argument should be stronger the next time around. Crocodile tears isn't a legal argument Barr.

Bend over, spread your cheeks and say, THANK YOU MR. TRUMP!! You don't even have to use any grease!! I wish it was just his supporters that had to take the hit for this.

Yep, while the majority of our country feels embarrassment. I don't believe we've ever had a president so laughed at, as Trump is. There is no hate here. Just the truth. The truth that Trump and what's left of his supporters just can't handle. The English, they see Trump for what he really is. Canada, they see Trump for what he really is.

Russia and China & NK, they see him for what he really is. Except they laugh at him. Then we have to read about in the news. While Trump just keeps on going. Ignorant to what's real. He is "inept". Any president that would even remotely consider starting WW3 over an unmanned drone, poking the bear with the wrong people, Iran, about the only country who isn't one bit afraid to go into a battle using chemicals or germ warfare, that's about as "inept" as you can get. Stupid, ignorant, moronic, idiot, you name it. All names fit.

And that not counting the other crazy shyt he's done. I've said this before, for every one thing that he does that seems OK, he will do something stupid. And usually so stupid, It cancels out any "good" thing he might have done. And that's not even counting the fact he's a crook that deserves to be in jail. Especially after what he pulled on the 4th of July. He pitches this big party on the taxpayer dime. But refuses to tell how much it costs us.

And his supporters, they just accept it without question. But want to get upset with those of us who do want to know. They get upset with those of us who call it what it is. They wish to say we "hate". It has nothing to do with hate When it's stealing from the tax payers. The taxpayer that has a right to know where millions of taxpayers dollars are squandered by Trump.

As I said in another post. I'm sure the ambassador is glad to not have to deal with Trump.

'A pompous fool': Trump trashes U.K. ambassador who disparaged his administration

"A day after declaring the United States would “no longer deal with” the British ambassador who disparaged his administration, President Trump lobbed several personal insults at him on Twitter.

“The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy,” Trump tweeted early Tuesday. “He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handled".

Well, here we go again. More Trump obstruction. Former White House lawyer Annie Donaldson repeatedly told the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee that the White House had directed her not to answer questions about various incidents described in Mueller's 488-page report.

The White House is now obstructing the investigation into the obstruction of the Mueller investigation. Trump is creating more and more layers of swamp.

So if there is nothing to hide, why is the White House ordering people to refuse to answer questions? This transparent administration isn't so transparent after all. Never has been.

Why? People see what I use. They can do the research just as well as I can. They can take the same sources I use to check and see just how close to the truth most anything is. I give people real sources. Not some made up bullshyt that some Joe Blow posted on youtube. As far as my personal comments may be, that's up to the reader.

I don't try to shove what I think down anyone's throat. If whoever doesn't like It, I don't care. It's my personal thought. It's up to the reader to decide how they feel about my thoughts and how far they want to take them. It's up to the reader to follow through and try to find how much truth is in what I posted. Not do like your typical Trump supporter and take it on blind faith. I've said this in my threads before. If you don't agree, you're more than welcome to post what you find.

As long as it's not some far-right crazy azz bullshyt that no one can believe. As long as you don't lean so far to the right that you need a pole in the ground to prop up on to keep you from falling over. As long as you don't outright just lie, I've got no problem. Even though I know I'm off topic. I'll say this if most who post to this thread was like you and Ms. H when she is around, this thread would be a whole lot more interesting.

People who post far right lies and bullshyt, they are not helping the Republican Party one bit. If anything, they make the Republican party as a whole look like a party of crazy, illogical people. So far, to the general public, the party looks like people who just want to argue, fight and some even try to kill just because others see things differently. All this has hurt the Republican party. Look at the Republican-controlled Senate. They sit back on there thumbs and let Trump do as he pleases. This doesn't help the Republican party either.

This thread is headed towards 30 thousand views. I hope people have gotten what they are looking for in this thread. There has been a well of knowledge posted here.

Daily Republic. media bias landing page.

http://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-press/

These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.

If you go back through history, every 4th July, no matter the president at the time, it always draws a huge crowd. It always has. People come to see the fireworks. No matter the president. So, no matter who says "Trump drew a huge crowd this 4th July, It's nothing to brag on. It is a huge thing in Washington. And it always has been. No matter the president.

When you get right down to it, it was nothing but a thinly veiled Trump rally. Most were invited, guests. The huge crowd is a given. Trump had nothing to do with the crowd. Even though Trump and his supporters wish to believe it was all Trump. That's just not historically true.

It depends on the reader. It also came from someone a little further to right. But not leaning so far to the right that they fall over and can't be believed.

In June, Mr Trump had tweeted: "We haven't yet invited Megan [Rapinoe] or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose."

Mr Trump made that comment while castigating Ms Rapinoe, a USWNT co-captain who went on to be named the most valuable player of the World Cup.

No matter if it is on your free time. A policeman is a policeman 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. 365 days a year. They all deserve losing their jobs for this. The border patrol is officers of the law. Just as much as anyone else with a badge. The same is expected of all officers of the law.

Commentary: 10 worst things Trump has done

"In his first year in office, President Donald Trump has done many positive things – from enforcing Barack Obama’s red line in Syria to recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, driving the Islamic State from its physical caliphate, getting NATO allies to kick in more money for our collective security, reversing Obama’s Afghan withdrawal, enacting historic tax and regulatory reforms, and installing conservative judges who will preside for decades.

But his record of conservative achievement has been overshadowed by a series of self-inflicted wounds. On Wednesday, I gave my list of the 10 best things Trump has done in his first year in office. Here are the 10 worst".

http://www.dailyrepublic.com/all-dr-news/opinion/state-national-columnists/commentary-10-worst-things-trump-has-done/

Trump reaches career-high approval, yet faces a range of re-election risks: Poll

"Bolstered by a strong economy, Donald Trump reached the highest job approval rating of his career in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll and runs competitively for re-election against four of five possible Democratic contenders. Yet he remains broadly unpopular across personal and professional measures, marking his vulnerabilities in the 2020 election.

Forty-four percent of Americans approve of Trump’s overall job performance, up a slight 5 percentage points from April and 2 points better than his peak early in his presidency. Still, 53% disapprove, keeping him at majority disapproval continuously for his first two and a half years in office, a record for any president in modern polling".

Which sounds to me like the majority of Americans don't approve of him. And if it stays that way on up to the election, we will wave by-by to him as president. And he will be saying "hello" to the NY AG. Then his troubles will start. All his corruption will hopefully catch up with him.

Trump administration is 'inept and insecure', says UK ambassador

TRUMP, JULY 4, 2019

"In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the Revolutionary forces in camps around Boston and New York and named after the great George Washington, Commander in Chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army manned the airports, it ranned the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHendry, under the rocket's red glare, it had nothing but victory."


This is what Fox News has done to many people in this country.

Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
4, Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies, and persecutions.
5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
9. The group/leader is always right.
10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

Ten warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1. Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
2. Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind, these identities become substantially and increasingly fused--as that person's involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.
3. Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".
4. Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.
5. Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.
6. Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supersede any personal goals or individual interests.
7. A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.
8. Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.
9. Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.
10. Former followers are at best-considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.

History

Breitbart News is a conservative news and opinion website founded in 2007 by Andrew Breitbart (1969–2012). He was a conservative commentator and entrepreneur “a former liberal from Los Angeles who became a conservative” wrote Jonah Engel Bromwich of the NY Times. Breitbart News under his leadership generated news coverage that was praised by the right for its populist, anti-establishment voice, on the left however, he was also accused of being a provocateur and misleading. Andrew Breitbart also co-founded the Huffington Post.

After Andrew Breitbart died in 2012, a former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, Stephen Bannon became the executive chairman of Breitbart. Under Bannon, the website became more nationalist and a vocal outlet of the alt-right movement. According to Sarah Posner from Mother Jones, during her interview with Bannon, he described Breitbart News as “a platform to the alt-right.” Bannon, who was chief executive of the Trump campaign, and then White House chief strategist for seven months before returning to Breitbart News, had stepped down from his position at Breitbart in 2018.

Larry Solov is the co-founder and CEO of Breitbart News and Alex Marlow serves as editor-in-chief.

Funded by / Ownership

After the death of Andrew Breitbart in 2012, Larry Solov became CEO and president of Breitbart News. In 2017, according to Politico, Larry Solov revealed the owner of Breitbart as “himself, founder Andrew Breitbart’s widow, Susie Breitbart, and the Republican mega-donor family, the Mercers.” Further, Solov also made a statement that he wants “to disclose as little as possible about financial and ownership structure.”

Analysis / Bias

Breitbart consist of various sections called Big Government, Big Journalism, Big Hollywood, National Security, Tech, Sports, and Wired.

Breitbart uses sensational emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as “Obama Loses 2 Million+ Followers During Twitter Fake Account Purge.” They utilize sources such as tabloid entertainment magazine Variety, and credible sources such as Bloomberg. as well as factually mixed sources such as the Daily Mail. Under the Big Hollywood section, they publish tabloid stories such as “Fashion Notes: Melania Trump is Posh and Proper for Final Day in England” utilizing fashion sources such as farfetch.com

In general, the majority of published stories favor the right and are highly pro-Trump in tone and story selection.

"A Russian state TV news program laughed at President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July parade this week. According to the Washington Post, the hosts of Rossiya 1’s 60 Minutes program ridiculed everything about Trump’s “A Salute to America” military extravaganza.

One of the hosts, Yevgeny Popov, chided the president, saying sarcastically, “The greatest parade of all time is going to be held today in Washington, that is what our Donald Trump has said.”

Popov roasted Trump, saying, “The American president announced he would show us the newest tanks.” But, “these are Abrams and Sherman tanks, used during World War II and withdrawn from service in 1957".

Trump sucks up to Russia just to get laughed at in the end.

Trump sucks up to Putin, embarrassing us yet again

"Whenever he gets in a room with Russian President Vladimir Putin, something comes over President Trump, his long and bizarre fanboy admiration bubbling to the surface. It’s almost as though he wants to convince Putin that he’ll do whatever is necessary to please him, the interests of the United States notwithstanding".

Trudy Rubin: Why Trump was in suck-up mode with autocrats before G-7

"President Donald Trump’s penchant for pummeling allies while pampering adversaries was perversely apparent in the last few days.

In the run-up to the G-7 summit in Quebec with Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan he began a bizarre trade war with most of them (a war that will hurt U.S. workers and companies). He waged ugly phone and Twitter spats with French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau".

As Kamala Harris surges, a question looms: What to do about Iowa?

"Sen. Kamala Harris’s three-day trip to Iowa, which starts July 3, would have been just another 2020 campaign story only a week ago.

But after the first-term senator’s Miami debate takedown of former Vice President Joe Biden, Harris will arrive in Des Moines this afternoon under a far greater microscope now that she is surging in national and Iowa polls and is suddenly seen as a potential frontrunner rival to Biden".
