"We are so far apart."


The following article was written by Mary Anna Towler for the Rochester City Newspaper.

Now is a good time to remember the despicable way that the right and their president attempted to demonize four elected women of color. 

It's a good time because I would like some folks on the right to keep this in mind as they try to condemn the folks who booed Mr. trump at the Nationals game a few nights ago.

"We are so far apart.

The United States has so many problems that require us to work together, and we are so far apart, divided increasingly by racism and xenophobia.

These are not new sins. They predate the country’s founding. But on occasion, we have seemed to try to rise above them. On occasion, we have had leaders who have pulled us forward. On occasion there’s been hope that collectively, there really did exist what Lincoln called “better angels of our nature.”

Now, though, the leader of the country is inciting different angels. He is using four young Congresswomen of color as bait, dangling them in front of his followers as surely as if he put them on hooks and bounced them over the heads of a pack of yapping, snarling dogs.

He started the attack with his “go back where you came from” tweets. A few days later, at a July 17 rally in Greenville, North Carolina, he ramped up the rhetoric, mocking the women and calling them hate-filled extremists.

The roar and the chants of the crowd in the Greenville arena are bone-chilling. “Traitor!” “Treason!” “Send her back! Send her back! Send her back!” An arena full of people, laughing, fist-pumping, cheering, “Send her back! Send her back!”

USA! USA! USA!”

The president knows what he’s doing, of course. The day after the Greenville rally, he temporarily tried to step away from his supporters, saying – video footage to the contrary – that he had tried to stop the chants. But that didn’t last long. By the end of the week, he was praising the chanters, calling them “incredible patriots.” He continued to lie about what the four Congresswomen have said, and added, “I can tell you this: you can’t talk that way about our country, not when I’m president.”

It’s hard to imagine things getting worse, but given what we’ve experienced since January 2016, we can assume that they will. Because Donald Trump is not an aberration, any more than the white nationalist march in Charlottesville was.

And rather than objecting to Trump’s behavior, the Republican leaders in Washington have crafted a response to his critics, shifting the focus to the Congresswomen using words taken straight out of the McCarthy playbook from the 1950’s.

"We all know that AOC and this crowd are a bunch of communists,” South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham said on Fox & Friends. “They're anti-Semitic. They're anti-America."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he agrees with Trump that the four Congresswomen want “to turn us into a socialist country” – and that it’s not just those four.

Racism, xenophobia, nativism: These will be the foundation of the Republican Party’s campaign for the presidency, the House, and the Senate. And in the roars and chants in the arena in Greenville, North Carolina, last week, we saw how many Americans will respond.

Trump’s approval rating continues to be stable, despite his behavior. Given that, the Times’ Nate Cohen suggested on Saturday, Trump could lose the popular election again in 2020 but win the Electoral College vote by an even wider margin.

One day last week, David Brooks ended a column in the Times with a quote from Langston Hughes’
 “Let America Be America Again”:

“America never was America to me / And yet I swear this oath – / America will be!”

There’s a lot more hope and faith in Langston Hughes’ words than I’m feeling right now."  [Source]

For the record, stirring up a crowd to yell racist at xenophobic things at a political rally, is not the same as spontaneously booing a president at a sporting event.

One is dangerous and could lead to strains of authoritarianism and fascism from our government, and the other is an American tradition.

    Hoo boy what a stale wheeze. Have the trolls run out of ideas? "Alt-left" is like caps-lock; they're both twit signals. They signal that the writer is a twit.

    2. His chief of staff saying "we do quid pro quos all the time, get over it."
    He isn't wrong... people _expect_ presidents to do extortion and other shady tactics, that's how foreign affairs work on this planet-of-the-anarchy-of-nations. But the shady tactics are supposed to be for the benefit of the nation, not the individual politician. He did the _wrong_ quid pro quo.

    3. Scarborough calling the 'lock him up' chant unAmerican.
    Balderdash. Dissing a politician, to his face, during a baseball game? What could be more American? That was a red-white-and-blue moment. Politician egging on a political crowd to call for State power against a rival for a refuted charge: that's wannabee tyranny. Sports crowd spontaneously calling for State power against an unpopular politician for multiple confirmed charges: that's democracy.

    https://www.wbaltv.com/article/two-teenage-brothers-face-new-charges-in-fatal-assault-of-john-weed/29535342

    "FREDERICK, Md. —

    Two teenage brothers are now facing new charges in the assault and death of a Frederick County man.

    The teens are accused in the death of 59-year-old John Weed at the Great Frederick Fair.

    Prosecutors said they added the charges after receiving the complete investigation report from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office and they want to have the cases against the teens moved to adult court.

    A court hearing Monday determined the brothers, ages 15 and 16, will continue to be detained. Both were initially charged with assault, and the Frederick County State's Attorney Charlie Smith has announced additional charges.

    "We have filed additional charges against both. On the 15-year-old, charges now stand at manslaughter, first- and second-degree assault," Smith said."

    One reason to hate Obama is because this pattern of murderous black-on-white assault started on his watch and he not only didn't do anything to stop it, he egged it on.  Has there been even ONE such crime with the colors reversed since 2009?  How about since 2000?  There hasn't and you know it, because if there had you wouldn't have to keep talking about Emmett Till.

  29. So a bloody moron Fergus appointed to an appellate judgeship who got the most graphic, blistering "not qualified" rating from the ABA ever broke down in Kavanaugh tears at his confirmation hearing when confronted with it.

    What is it with all of these weepy toddler Republicans? I've known a lot of outlaws in my time, and I can't remember even one of them crying like a baby when they got busted.

    "The ABA also claimed VanDyke, a current deputy assistant attorney general at the Department of Justice, was described as “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice including procedural rules” in interviews with those who worked with him."

    There were sixty of those interviews, and that was brought up by Pat Leahy during the hearing: "If it was one or two I'd probably ignore them, but sixty?"

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-judicial-nominee-cries-over-american-bar-association-letter-concluding-hes-not-qualified?source=cheats&via=rss

    Republicans just can't seem to deal with rules, even when they still favor them: your president gets to nominate judges who have political leanings that you like to lifetime appointments, but they should still know how to do the damn job, fucked up ideology and all.

    But that is apparently too much to ask of Republicans.

    "A top National Security Council (NSC) official who listened to President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky testified to Congress today that he did not believe Trump had discussed anything illegal during the conversation.

    There were four professional transcribers who were listening in on the call, for purposes of preparing a written transcript. The four people wrote down what they each heard, then brought their transcriptions together, harmonized them, and decided as a group what the best transcript of the call was.

    That's standard protocol. Apparently they don't tape these recordings. That's why they have people transcribing the calls in real time.

    They all agreed on the transcript that Trump released.

    Now, they specifically refute Vindman's claim that there were Secret Messages during that phone call that were not included in the transcript. Vindman kept attempting to change the transcript, or add his notes of whatever auditory hallucination his Deep State pals told him that he heard, and the four transcribers kept rejecting them, saying "that wasn't said" or "none of us heard that" or the like.

    All four of them denied this.

    All four.

    One, two, three, four.

    Tell me:

    Are four random civil servant transcribers all part of the Trump campaign? Has Trump "gotten" to them all?

    Is Bill Barr blackmailing them?

    Or is the grandstanding leaker Vindman perhaps a bit... confused?

    “Coastal democrats my be cool with withholding aid to get your son out of trouble, but apparently Midwestern dems still have an issue with corruption.”

    Biden’s prospects were already fading before Trump’s clownish Ukraine scheme came to light. No Democrats believe in Biden’s “corruption”; they simply prefer other candidates to Biden, who doesn’t have any new ideas and was hoping to coast into the Dem nomination on his association with Obama.

    Trump apparently decided that he had to make up lies to slander Biden because that is the only candidate he fears facing in 2020. He figures he can just commie-bash Warren or Sanders, call Buttigieg a butt burglar, or crank the racism up to eleven with Kamala Harris, and that will carry him back into office.

    Trump is wrong. He doesn’t only have to fear Biden. At this point, a cardboard box could beat him. The Anybody But Trump vote grows daily. And the stunt he pulled to attack Biden has only made his own corruption more obvious.

    A year ago, the existence of a "Deep State" intelligence apparatus working to overturn an election was a crazy right wing conspiracy theory.

    Now the left not only admits the existence of a non-elected shadow government, but they openly cheer its subversion of democracy by working against the will of the electorate.

    Former CIA director John McLaughlin appeared at press event yesterday alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. They discussed the role of the intelligence community ahead of the 2020 election."

    Former CIA Acting Director John McLaughlin expressed gratitude Wednesday for the so-called "deep state" and its role in the impeachment push against President Donald Trump.

    McLaughlin embraced the term when asked during an event with other former intelligence officials whether a CIA whistleblower complaint that sparked an impeachment inquiry feeds into Trump’s complaints that the "deep state" is out to get him.

    "There is something unique you have to agree that now the impeachment inquiry is underway, sparked by a complaint from someone within the intelligence community, it feeds the president's concern, an often used term about a 'deep state' being there to take him out," Margaret Brennan, the moderator for the event, asked McLaughlin.

    "Thank God for the 'deep state,'" replied the former spook, who served as acting director at the CIA in 2004.


    John Brennan commenting on the planted whistleblower coming from the intel community:

    They're “fighting in the trenches here and overseas … I’m just pleased every day that my former colleagues in the intelligence community continue to do their duties.”

    When were the duties of the US intelligence community expanded to include protecting the establishment globalist agenda against interference from voters?

    You are all on board with this as you view these thugs as being on your side. If you had any integrity you'd stop with the nonsense about defending the Constitution and the rule of law. But as you don't, you'll keep defending this coup attempt as legitimate.

    There is no coup, this is a process clearly defined in the Constitution. This is the opposite of a coup. I mean you can regurgitate Republican talking points (hilarious because they emailed them out and they STILL insist on using them, HA!) but any critical inquiry sees this as keeping a check on the separation of powers. This is very similar to Nixon. If the process plays out and trump is exonerated then you're right if he's convicted by the senate then you're wrong. That's how this works.

    Whatever motivations you want to ascribe to him, there was nothing wrong with Trump asking Zelensky for assistance in investigating potential corrupt actions taken by the previous administration. This is a legitimate duty of the President.

    The "whistleblower" is an intel operative who worked for Biden, Brennan, and Susan Rice. He was removed from the White House in 2017 for leaking. There is nothing in that call that merits an impeachment inquiry. This Ukraine story is following the same script as the failed Russian collusion story. The Dems were calling for impeachment on inauguration day. They were running out of time, so they had to go with this laughably weak narrative. The more people learn about it, the worse it will look for those pushing it. Basing impeachment on the thin reed of the crime of investigating Biden's corruption will wind up being a disaster for the Dems, who might have had a real chance of winning at the ballot box in 2020.

  88. From Steve Benen:

    Donald Trump has now been in office for 33 full months – February 2017 through October 2019 – and in that time, the economy has created 6.25 million jobs. In the 33 months preceding Trump’s presidency – May 2014 to January 2017 – the economy created 7.38 million jobs.

    As regular readers know, some have asked what would happen if we looked at the same numbers, but assigned the job totals from January 2017 to Trump, even though Obama was president for most of the month. On balance, I think that paints a misleading picture, but it doesn’t change the underlying dynamic: if we applied jobs from January 2017 to Trump and compared the last 34 months to the previous 34 months, job totals still slowed from 7.71 million to 6.5 million.

    The White House, meanwhile, believes we should actually start the clock for Trump at November 2016 – the month of the Republican’s election – and apply the jobs created during the final months of the Obama era to the current Republican president. But that still doesn’t help: if we compare the last 36 months to the previous 36 months, job totals slowed from 8 million to 6.89 million.

    Let’s also note that so far this calendar year, the United States has added 1.67 million jobs, which puts 2019 on track to be the worst year for domestic job creation since 2010.

    Trump continues to tell the world that he’s overseeing the strongest domestic job growth in American history, which is plainly false. What’s more, the White House has not yet offered an explanation for why job growth has slowed since Trump took office.

    "but because of Republican gerrymandering"

    It's called the Constitution, Granny. Trump won 304 to 227.

    "In addition, Trump had a great deal of help from Russia. And we all know about that."

    You know nothing about that except that a two-year, unlimited powers investigation by people who hated him found absolutely no evidence of collusion. The only evidence have we of Russian interference is $150K of Facebook ads, some of which were pro-Hillary/anti-Trump, during an election where over $2 billion was spent by the campaigns alone.

  100. New York Times Reporter Had Public Records Proving Elizabeth Warren's Claim About Being Fired Due to Pregnancy False, But Refused to Report It:

    A reporter who now works for the New York Times failed to report on public records, which he obtained in April, that cut against Senator Elizabeth Warren's (D., Mass.) claim that she was fired from a teaching position in 1971 due to pregnancy discrimination.
    Reid Epstein, who was then working for the Wall Street Journal, filed an open-records request with the Riverdale Board of Education on April 2 seeking "to inspect or obtain" copies of public records relating to Warren’s time teaching at Riverdale during the 1970-1971 school year. In response to his request, Epstein on April 10 received school-board minutes that challenge Warre'’s story, according to documents obtained by National Review through the New Jersey Open Records Act.

    Epstein, who moved to the Times on April 19, never broke the story. Reached for comment, a Times spokeswoman said that the "records were inconclusive" and the potential story required further sourcing.

    “He may have done this exact thing once before with Ukraine, before he did it this time and got caught,” Maddow noted.

    She noted a column in The Washington Post by David Ignatius that was published on Friday.

    Before Volodymyr Zelensky was elected president the president was this man.

    then-President Petro Poroshenko

    “A standard theme in detective thrillers is that the perpetrator feels compelled to return to the scene of the crime. It’s an irrational urge, and readers of such potboilers are often left wondering whether the protagonist secretly wants to get caught,” Ignatius wrote. “Perhaps we’re living a real-life version of this fictional plot in President Trump’s alleged solicitation of political help from Ukraine, which this week spawned a full-blown impeachment probe.”

    Ignatius broke down how it appears Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko appears to have received a coveted White House meeting with Trump in 2017 after shelving an investigation into former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. The timeline suggests Giuliani may have brokered the deal during a visit to Kyiv.

    By trying to impeach the President for asking for assistance in that investigation.

    What don't you get about this?

    America is a propositional nation, in that citizenship is now entirely meaningless to the native born. It has value to the millions pouring over the border every year, but to the people who hold US citizenship, it is a stock certificate for a company that no longer exists.

  141. Poor stoopid fucking wingnuts believe every lie drumpf tells them. You are failing as human beings. You can't think or act without talking points. You deserve to de-evolve back to the tree you slithered from. buh bye.

  142. Hey anymoose, if there was no quid pro quo, why are wingnuts saying there was a quid pro quo? They see more and more damning evidence and now that their lies were busted, they want to claim it happened but is not an impeachable offense.

    Wish you clowns would stop moving the goal posts for once and take yer long overdue punishment like real men. Drumpf is guilty as sin and you are all accomplices. Burn in hell with him.

    What I don't get about this is how little you know about how the government works.
    Trump is not being impeached for investigating Biden. He's being impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of justice. The justice Department is under Republican control. They can investigate anyone they want to, whenever they want to. Don't you understand this?

    Trump is being impeached because we are in a COUP by radical violent alt left types bent on destroying freedom and democracy.

    "Trump is not being impeached for investigating Biden. He's being impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of justice."

    The 'abuse of power' charge is for asking for assistance in the matter of Biden withholding US aid until a prosecutor investigating corruption involving a company that Biden's son had a lucrative arrangement with was fired. This was a legitimate request.

    The 'obstruction of justice' charge is for Trump considering firing the prosecutor (which he did not do) conducting a questionable partisan investigation into charges that were found to be a hoax. No actual obstruction occurred.

    This impeachment attempt is groundless. It is pure political theater, poorly done, which will blow back on the Democrats in disastrous fashion.

    Impeachment is clearly laid out in the Constitution and does not relate to the term, coup. Impeachment is a legal process to remove a president for high crimes and misdemeanors.

    The definition of a coup is as follows: "A sudden stroke of state policy involving deliberate violation of constitutional forms by a group of persons in authority." (American Heritage Dictionary) This is what Trump and he cabal have been involved in since he took office. Trump has repeatedly violated the Constitution with his defiance of the Emolument Clause and has broken campaign finance laws.

    It is being reported that the whistleblower was Joe Biden’s point man on Ukraine.

    Would it not be appropriate that he is subpoenaed and asked under oath about Hunter Biden and possible conflicts of interest in Joe Biden's actions regarding the quid pro quo firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor?

    The definition of a coup is as follows: "A sudden stroke of state policy involving deliberate violation of constitutional forms by a group of persons in authority."

    Sure sounds like what Schiff, Schumer, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Strzok, McCabe, et al have been up to for the past three years.

    "This is what Trump and he cabal have been involved in since he took office."

    Trump is already the President. Are you implying he is organizing a coup against himself?

    The projection thing is getting weird.

    Gameplan:

    1.  Indictments are unsealed, with warning to a select few.  Two of those few are the Obamas.
    2.  The Obamas decamp to Kenya and declare themselves citizens thereof and immune to extradition.
    3.  The Trump administration declares all acts of the Obama administration null and void, including all laws signed and all appointments and hires.
    4.  All the deep-state saboteurs placed in the bureaucracies since 2009, plus all Obama-appointed federal judges including Kagan and Sotomayor, are suddenly out in the cold.
    5.  America begins to work again.

    No, the Democrats are not involved in a coup. There is nothing "sudden" about the investigation of president trump. It started with Mueller nearly two years ago and will end with the House of Representatives, which has the authority to do so as specified in the constitution. And if Trump is so innocent of wrong doing, why has he directed everyone connected to him to defy lawful subpoenas from Congress?

    As for what Trump is doing, I would call it a coup since he has Attorney General Barr in his pocket. The Attorney General is supposed to be representing the Constitution and the people of America, not the president. Trump continues to flaunt his lawlessness, which requires that the House must investigate him. Trump desires to stay in power indefinitely, which would require a coup to fulfill his ambition.

    He will be.  Taking payoffs himself and for his druggie son as the price of handing out US aid money is blatant corruption.  This is now out in the open.  It will not go away.  The public is FURIOUS.

    Obama knew, and the public knows he knew.  Everything is going to come crashing down, starting about this time next year.  Smaller fish will be hung out to dry over the next 12 months but the public is going to have to re-elect Trump to give him the mandate he needs to finish the job.

    And he WILL finish the job.  He HATES those scum as much as you hate him.  But unlike you, he's in a position to do something about it.

    BTW, I don't hate Trump. He isn't worth expending the emotion it takes to hate someone. I and at least 65 million other American voters just want him gone from the White House before he destroys our democracy and the rule of law.
