Clinton, the DNC and our own FBI paid the Russians and a British national for help … weaponized the CIA and the FBI … o they eagerly welcomed the Russians to meddle and they rewarded them too …

Are you equally incensed that the Obama Administrations used your tax dollars to interfere in the Israeli election in an attempted ouster of Benjamin Netanyahu? I mean because that is all we have heard is how awful and criminal foreign interference in our elections are.

I would think if the USA is so totally opposed of Foreign interference in elections - we should absolutely have our hands clean …

So I have to ask … is it only non Democratic politicians who are prevented from seeking and benefiting fro foreign interference in our elections?

Cuz last time I read about the 2016 election interference - it was Christopher Steele - a foreign national, obtaining derogatory information on Trump for the DNC, Clinton and our FBI … and paid for by Clinton and the DNC - their donors should be angry and our own FBI - as a taxpayer - I am angry about that … along with the wasted $millions for the Mueller investigation when they knew it was all misinformation.

And of course - there is a distinct pattern -

Like, sexual assaults by a politician and a staffer at a specific locations, supposedly reported and contemporaneous people corroborate are nothing of the accused has a [D] behind their name while accusations of sexual assault between three high school students at an imaginary party of unknown date, unknown location and unknown transportation to and from said party and the participants who were there are either unknown or deny knowledge of is real and serious because one of the high school is nominated to the SCOTUS by “Orange Man Bad” …

A [D] attorney general can ship guns illegally across an international boarder to cartels and smugglers - which are used to kill an American and Federal Law Enforcement Officer and many other crimes - no scandal, nothing to see here and another attorney general [R] can investigate the fraudulent weaponization of the CIA and FBI against a political adversary - then elected official, which included tampering with evidence, lying, illegal leaking of sensitive information - and he is a Presidential hack and a treasonous individual …

Do I have your position right … for you the ends do justify the means … you are happy with a status quo that allows one standard of justice for GOP and another for the DNC … - Got it …

Well, it begs the question who the real Republicans are and who the Trumpists are. Since the Trump-help Republican Party has no party platform, I would argue the Trumpists are the real RINOs.

I am not sure there is a Republican party at the national level anymore. Its just Trump. Trump’s decision to nix the platform and just have a statement that the party supports Trump shows that.

What is both odd and interesting is the reaction of my GOP friends. While some are simply holding on and waiting for the Trump era to pass, some are buying in to Trumpism. As a result, folks that spent lots of time going on about how great Romney is, or how great McCain is, or how great Bush is, are now trying to convince me those same guys are not “real” Republicans, despite leading the party for a couple decades. Its surreal, and the level of mental gymnastics required to make those backflips is pretty impressive.
 
Yet when it came to it, Pence – the second most senior member of an administration that says it has done more for Black Americans than Democrats such as President Barack Obama, former vice president Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris – didn’t even mention the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin, instead tossing Kenosha, Wisconsin, into a list of places ravaged by violence without referencing the tragedies that brought protesters into the street. And there wasn’t even a passing reference to the countless other similar incidents that have left African Americans despairing – encounters with police that on Wednesday triggered an athletes revolt started by NBA players who boycotted playoff games.

Pence didn’t note that a 17-year-old suspected of killing two people and injuring a third in Kenosha overnight was a pro-police supporter of the President who posted video on TikTok from a Trump rally in Des Moines in January. The shootings came a night after the RNC highlighted a St. Louis couple who brandished guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home.

He’s not. The real losers are the people in other states who are sometimes faced with fuel shortages and price increases because California insists on having its own boutique gasoline formula.

And now, because it’s a big market, California has done the same thing to autos. Forcing automakers to make “California-special” autos causes others to pay higher prices.

Leslie Marshall: Republican Convention speakers falsely claim Biden would turn US into a socialist nightmare

Speakers at the Republican National Convention this week seem to be in a competition to see who can make the most alarmist, wild and frightening accusations against Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden and his Democratic Party.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

The Republican caricature of Biden and the Democrats is so extreme and detached from reality that it could pass for a sketch on “Saturday Night Live” or a story In the satirical news site The Onion.

Faced with the tragedy of the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 179,000 Americans, wrecked our economy and sent unemployment soaring, Republicans obviously have an almost impossible task trying to convince voters that Trump has ushered in good times. They face the same problem with the issue of racial justice, as Trump seems to be doing everything he can to divide Americans and make the problem worse.

Since they can’t convince voters that things are great under Trump (although they are trying mightily), Republicans appear to have settled on a strategy of claiming that as bad as things are today, they’d be far worse under Biden.

Because the horror show Republicans are conjuring up to scare the bejesus out of the American people is so extreme and exaggerated, I doubt it will have the intended effect on independents, moderate Republicans, and moderate Democrats whose votes Trump needs to be reelected.

Sister Deirdre “Dede” Byrne, a member of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, said that
Donald Trump is the most pro-life president this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages. His belief in the sanctity of life transcends politics. President Trump will stand up against Biden-Harris, who are the most anti-life presidential ticket ever, even supporting the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide. Because of his courage and conviction, President Trump has earned the support of America’s pro-life community. Moreover, he has a nationwide of religious standing behind him. You’ll find us here with our weapon of choice, the rosary. Thank you, Mr. President, we are all praying for you.

“Whenever there’s a blessing, the Devil starts messing.” 💞

My second favorite is “That’s right, Donald Trump did that.” Vernon Jones.

They sure had some inspiring speakers.
 
As opposed to the hate fest that the Dems produced last week?
All they did was hate on Trump with a gloom and doom warning should he be re-elected.Problem with that is he’s has a record that solid,y disproves their desperate assertions. MAGA🇺🇸

What no one is saying is an obvious fact which I find compelling: No matter what you think about the process, an impeached politician does not deserve another term in office.

I just saw this in the Washington Post:
Neimat Awadelseid had looked forward to the moment she would become a U.S. citizen for years — but she never dreamed her naturalization ceremony would happen at the White House.

Even after she received a call inviting her to the White House for the ceremony, she did not know the president would be there until moments before it began. Nor did she know that it would become a featured segment of the Republican National Convention.

There’s something really wrong and improper with a naturalization ceremony being turned into a prop for a political party convention. And in this case, it was done without the consent or prior knowledge of one of the people who was becoming a US citizen. I know from talking to a friend of mine who became a US citizen that these naturalization ceremonies are an important moment in the lives of the people involved. To ruin it for some of them by turning the ceremony into a political spectacle is truly terrible.

So, Chad Wolfe, who administered the oath to the new citizens, is illegally in his position, according to the GAO.

So, are they really citizens? Does the doctrine of governmentie supplet apply.
