As adults we have failed the kids because we made this world they now have to live in. A world we didn’t have to live in at their age. It breaks my heart how early their innocence is taken these days. It's as if they get no childhoods at all. |

Anyone in government who does not cooperate with any investigation needs to be kicked out of government.
This is another thing we have trump to thank for, the idea that government officials can thumb their collective noses at hearings/investigations.

I can’t for the life of me figure out how the Republicans think pushing ridiculous comments like this proves there is an “open border”? I guess they think the people who vote for them are dumber then dirt…. Because if the seizures are up, that means our borders are wide open and it's Biden's fault according to the Twitterverse. |

It's amazing how ethics and morals don't apply anymore. Just keep sliding under that bar more and more. |

Cippalone and his asst Philbin have spoken with the FBI. They were in charge of the presidential papers. The other six were removed several days before Jan 19, 2021 by Kash Patel.
John Solomon and Kash Patel are working at the National Archives on former's papers.
However we have info that Meadows was one of the final ones... Who knows....
Above paragraph from MSNBC new news today in NYT
***
Remember Patel = Devin Nunes
John Solomon = conspiracy theory.. fired columnist from the Hill..

I don’t know if you saw it or not but Oz went into a grocery store with the intention is showing how high grocery prices were when you picked up veggies for a veggie plate. But he called it a crudité (and they call Democrats elitists). He got slammed, even by the grocery store he went to.

It was Radner's and he put them together with Wegmans Wegners... |

Keep in mind he does this stuff because he wants people to think he is important, his ego demands it. But you know, her emails.
From the article….
“Senior intelligence officials realized early on that President Donald Trump wasn’t going to read even short written summaries of his regular intelligence briefings. So the CIA officers who prepared the briefings made sure they came to the Oval Office laden with striking images, pared-down charts and slick graphics designed to grab the president’s fleeting interest, several officials familiar with the briefings told NBC News.
“To secure his attention, you had to use images and catchy headlines, even better if they had his name in them,” said Doug London, a former CIA officer who helped assemble the briefing material.
On Aug. 30, 2019, top spies learned the dangers of that approach. What unfolded that day became an infamous moment in the Trump presidency — one that former intelligence officials say perfectly illustrated his approach to dealing with state secrets. A former senior intelligence official with firsthand knowledge told NBC News that Trump did indeed tweet a highly classified image taken by a secret spy satellite, as many experts suspected at the time. And in doing so, the official and others said, Trump gave U.S. adversaries keen insights into the U.S. capabilities to spy from above.
“The president tweeted a picture of an Iranian missile launch site that showed a failed ICBM test launch that everybody acknowledged was a highly classified picture taken from space,” former national security adviser John Bolton, who was in Poland when it happened, told NBC News Monday. “He tweeted it out, and that of course declassified it by definition, but also showed what could happen when such a picture, even on a Twitter attachment, was then able to be analyzed by foreign intelligence services.”

I read the GOP Senate has quit giving money or buying ads for the Senate Races in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, & Arizona. That must mean something. Fetterman over Oz for sure! As I said Barnes is now ahead of Johnson!! YAY!! Mark Kelly is well funded and doing well. I think the Republicans are focusing on the House races where they have a better chance of gaining control. Democrats are facing an uphill battle, especially with recently gerrymandered districts. fivethirtyeight shows Republicans winning 80% of the scenarios projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/house/ |

This is another thing we have trump to thank for, the idea that government officials can thumb their collective noses at hearings/investigations. Are there even rules anymore? If people can choose to comply or not, it doesn't seem so. Jail a few of these scofflaws, (especially those ignoring lawful subpoenas), and see how all-powerful they feel then. So sick of it. |

He's like an ill-mannered 3-year-old, who can't wait to show the other kids the toy he has. Their having to cartoon his briefings doesn't surprise me; I have serious doubts whether or not he can actually read an entire sentence if it contains more than 3 words. Every day I'm stunned that anybody thought he was fit for the presidency. |

This made me laugh: www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/16/trump-lawyers-fbi-raid/From the article: Former president Donald Trump and close aides have spent the eight days since the FBI searched his Florida home rushing to assemble a team of respected defense lawyers. But the answer they keep hearing is “no.” The struggle to find expert legal advice puts Trump in a bind as he faces potential criminal exposure from a records dispute with the National Archives that escalated into a federal investigation into possible violations of the Espionage Act and other statutes. “Everyone is saying no,” said a prominent Republican lawyer, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations. Trump is no stranger to legal proceedings, and his scramble to hire lawyers in the face of an ominous federal probe recalls his predicament in the summer of 2017, when he was under scrutiny from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in the Russia probe. Once again, Trump is struggling to find a veteran criminal defense lawyer with a strong track record of dealing with the Justice Department in a sprawling, multipronged investigation.“ Huh. Go figure. 🤔 ETA: Only the best! 😁 |

As I have said before the voters in this country suck at their job of voting. Gerrymandering did not play a part in the voters choice. Voter suppression rules did not play a part in their choice. It is was a Republican vs Republican race.
Liz Cheney was a conservative and not someone I would agree with on political issues. But told the truth about trump. She worked to get the truth on what happened on January 6 out.
These voters, of their own free will, punished Liz Cheney for speaking the truth about trump and doing the right thing. What they did do was elect a , I guess, a trump supporter or someone who got his endorsement.

Marsha Blackburn blocks election security bills .. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) to pass three election security-related bills via "unanimous consent," calling them a "federal power grab."Why it matters: Just last week, the third volume of a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report found that the U.S. government was "not well-postured" to counter Russian interference in 2016. The Democratic-controlled House passed several election security bills last year, but none have been taken up by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). The big picture: Intelligence officials have continued to sound the alarm about the threat of foreign interference in future elections, with FBI director Christopher Wray warning last week that Russia continues to be engaged in "information warfare" ahead of the 2020 elections.Details: Two of the bills proposed by Senate Democrats Tuesday would require campaigns to call the FBI if they're offered help from a foreign power. Another bill would provide funding for the Election Assistance Commission and would ban voting machines from being connected to the internet. What they're saying: "[Democrats] are attempting to bypass this body’s Rules Committee on behalf of various bills that will seize control over elections from the states and take it from the states and where do they want to put it?" Blackburn said. "They want it to rest in the hands of Washington, D.C., bureaucrats." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), stressing the need for the Senate to pass these bills, said: "The current president of the United States, far from having the same fears about foreign interference as our founders, has been very public about his openness to foreign assistance and manipulation in support of his election." www.axios.com/2020/02/11/gop-senator-election-security-blocksThis article is from 2020. It’s from When McConnell was Senate Majority Leader |

So by telling the truth about trump Liz Cheney is seen as a politician who believe they’ve risen above the people they’re supposed to represent and serve,
Cheap shot by Hageman and stupid voters if they believe that.

Heather and the Lincoln Project described today’s Republican Party perfectly
Observers noted that the defeat of Cheney marks the passage of another establishment name from the ranks of Republican Party lawmakers. The Lincoln Project tweeted, “Tonight, the nation marks the end of the Republican Party. What remains shares the name and branding of the traditional GOP, but is in fact an authoritarian nationalist cult dedicated only to Donald Trump.” |
