Ted Cruz has announced that he “briefly interacted” with someone at CPAC who has now tested positive for Coronavirus, so he is self quarantining here in Texas. Unfortunately, he was not in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta when he was informed of his exposure to the virus. Let’s hope he doesn’t expose any Americans to the virus while he’s here.
Another Snopes report has confirmed another effort by Trump to erase the Obama administration, documenting how he undid regulations and uses of stiff fines to force senior care facilities to protect patients under their care.
Why, yes, he did. Here are the facts for when your Trump loving acquaintances deny it.
Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
Federal judge Reggie Walton (appointed to the bench by GWB) issued a scathing opinion today about Bill Barr’s summary of the Mueller report, calling into question his “candor” and “credibility”. He has ordered that the DOJ release the unreacted report so he he can judge for himself if Barr essentially lied to the public to protect Trump and bury the report. A few meaty tidbits:
“The Court has grave concerns about the objectivity of the process that preceded the public release of the redacted version of the Mueller Report and its impacts on the Department’s subsequent justifications that its redactions of the Mueller Report are authorized by the FOIA.”
“…a review of the redacted version of the Mueller Report by the Court results in the Court’s concurrence with Special Counsel Mueller’s assessment that Attorney General Barr distorted the findings in the Mueller Report.”
And the crowning blow:
“The speed by which Attorney General Barr released to the public the summary of Special Counsel Mueller’s principal conclusions, coupled with the fact that Attorney General Barr failed to provide a thorough representation of the findings set forth in the Mueller Report, causes the Court to question whether Attorney General Barr’s intent was to create a one-sided narrative about the Mueller Report—a narrative that is clearly in some respects substantively at odds with the redacted version of the Mueller Report.”
Like all stories about corrupt officials, the truth of this particular corruption will come out. This opinion by this Republican appointed judge is just the first step in dismantling the veil of lies constructed by Trump, his minions, and his corrupt attorney general.
It’s just a matter of time.
Warning: Today would not be a good day to send me an email about how Bernie Sanders got screwed by the DNC and Putin.
I am not kidding you. A reader sent that to ME.
Within 30 minutes of Elizabeth Warren suspending her campaign. Sends me that crapola. And how now we’re going to end up a corporatist country because freekin’ Bernie Sanders is the only one – the only one, mind you! – who could save us. And this is the death of America and it’s all my fault, I guess, because I did not vote for Bernie Sanders.
Screw you. Today, of all days.
Let me tell you something, buddy. Elizabeth Warren was Bernie wrapped in better packaging, no jutting finger, less snobbery, far less ego, a genuine smile, and CAN GET THINGS DONE.
First off, the DNC can’t plan a one man parade, much less a coup. They are as ineffectual as … come to think of it, Bernie Sanders. I’m the one screaming to stop giving them money or the time of day. And Putin has a real funny way of hurting Bernie by putting out bad stuff about Joe.
Good Lord, y’all are beginning to sound like a Trumpite. He’s also the only one and everybody is plotting against him.
Elizabeth Warren suspended her campaign today because Hillary Clinton spooked too many people about running a female. She remains a far superior candidate than the two who are left. My heart is broken. But, I’m writing Joe Biden a check today because I am sick, sick, sick of the Bernie whine. Look, anybody who cannot beat the DNC surely isn’t ready to run a country.
Sorry, guys, I’ll probably take this down in a hour of two but DAMN – what manner of fool sends me a paranoid BernieWhine today?
UPDATE: After I post this, Epp sent me this link by Garry Kasparov.
