Just when we thought we got rid of Darrell Issa, he decided he wanted to go back to Congress this time representing a different district in Southern California.
He is already making news..
From the Editorial Board at the San Diego Union Tribune ...
”Darrell Issa should be ashamed.
Political observers have always known that the open 50th Congressional District seat would be a hardball affair. The stakes are high and the candidates running have major differences. But former Rep. Darrell Issa’s new attack ad targeting fellow Republican Carl DeMaio, the former San Diego councilman and talk show host, is despicable. It’s nominally about who is the more devoted supporter of President Donald Trump and who is a bigger critic of illegal immigration. Yet the two headlines from printed stories the ad shows aren’t about these themes. Instead, they both identify DeMaio as gay.
Clearly, Issa believes pointing out this fact about his opponent will help him win some voters in the 50th, which includes East County and most of noncoastal North County. It’s also clear he’s lost some of his humanity. Polls show a growing, overwhelming acceptance of gay marriage and gay rights — which after all are human rights — but homophobia remains a problem. Thursday, Issa was unapologetic.
It’s a searing comment on Issa’s character that the former Vista congressman would try to take advantage of hateful views of the LGBTQ+ community. None other than Tony Krvaric, the chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County, told an editorial writer the ad was “Highly inappropriate. We encourage all candidates to stick to the issues.”
Gay-baiting is unacceptable and unforgivable.

This from trump..
”Really pathetic how @foxnews is trying to be so politically correct by loading the airwaves with Democrats like Chris Van Hollen, the no name Senator from Maryland. He has been on forever playing up the Impeachment Hoax. Dems wouldn’t even give Fox their low ratings debates....”
Prompted this from Senator Van Hollen...
“Glad you tuned in, Mr. President. Now that I have your attention, how about coming down to the Senate to share your side of the story under penalty of perjury?”
Of course we know the little coward won’t show up but will continue to hide out in the White House tweeting childish tweets.

Daniel Dale..
”Trump told Fox last week that Mark Zuckerberg congratulated him when Zuckerberg was in the White House "two weeks ago." Facebook clarifies, again, that Zuckerberg hasn't been there since October. (Intentionally or not, Trump habitually moves events much closer to the present.)”
Another sign of age, thinking things just happened when it was awhile back that it actually did happen. Do it all the time. Especially when it comes to housework. 😀

Palestinian officials have dismissed the forthcoming peace plan out of hand, saying they have not communicated with the administration for more than two years, ever since Trump announced the U.S. Embassy move. “They did not speak with any of us,” chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told The Hill. A one sided Mideast peace plan with an Israeli prime minister (Netanahu) who would prefer to kill all Palestinians, negotiated by the Zionist son in law of a bigot president. That will be effective. The greatest negotiator....not.

I do know a few moderate Republicans who do no like Trump and regret voting for him (not many, but a few). There is no way that any of them will vote for Bernie Sanders. He is just too far off from their beliefs. I can see some people not voting at all because they can't stomach voting for Trump but also will be very picky about having the "right" Democrat candidate.

Yamiche Alcindor...
”President Trump just emerged from the Oval Office but took no questions on the White House lawn. He’s now headed to New Jersey for a campaign rally.”
He will be at this rally for exactly 90 minutes before he starts the trip back to The White House.
Think of all that is involved to move the president from point a to point b. In this case for nothing more than a “I need to make myself feel good” rally.
Talk about wasting taxpayers‘ money.

Glenn Kessler....
”It is astonishing how same debunked claims are repeated and recycled over and over again. And I still haven't heard why if Hunter Biden's role was such a scandal in 2014 -- when news orgs reported all about it -- GOPers didn't investigate then.”
He has a point. If the Republicans had felt something was there they would have been all over it like a bear with honey because would have given them an opportunity to get at President Obama through Joe Biden.

I think you misunderstood this poll. It was asking if Democrats will support whoever is the parties nominee. Nobody is counting on a previous Trump voter voting for a Democrat in November.

I hate Trump so much I would probably vote for the devil himself if he was the other option. But now my DH? I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t vote for Bernie. I don’t think he would vote for Trump so he probably would vote for some third party throwaway or write someone in which sucks.

I mean who makes a deal or plan without including all parties that would be involved?

”According to @factbasefeed, that was the shortest Trump rally speech since November 2018, clocking in at just under 62 minutes.”
trump had the helicopters come pick him up at the White House, fly to Andrews Air Force Base, got on Air Force One, fly to someplace in NJ. Went from the airport to wherever the rally was, then go back to the NJ airport, gets back on Air Force One, flys back to Andrews Air Force Base, gets back on the helicopter and flys to the White House. All this for a 62 minute rally.
And I’m not even including the disruption caused to a city when the President comes to town.
What a bloody waste of taxpayers money.

I wondered why he did not take the helicopter straight to Cape May/Wildwood. I did not know Atlantic City Airport could take Air Force One.. Could have flown into Fort McGuire/Dix/Earl base. Reason it was short, venue for only 7,500 people!

CREW - Citizens for Ethics..
”The Press Secretary says that what President Trump “cares about is taxpayer money” and making sure “there is no corruption tied to it.”
That doesn't add up. Trump has spent more than $100 million in taxpayer money to golf at courses he still owns and profits from.”
”President Trump has racked up 2,855 conflicts of interest in 3 years, spending untold sums of taxpayer money to visit his own properties.
He has shown us that he only cares about corruption to the extent that he can benefit from it.”

Move along folks nothing to worry about here /s Everything Trump has any input in turns into a disaster in some form or another, this " deal" will be no exception.
