PP Time?

Submitted by ub on

NO, not that PP, focus and please get your mind off the infamous tape, for now, I am referring to #PentagonPapers #RTR #ReleaseTheReport.

There is no way the Barr read the Mueller report, analyzed it, and wrote his cliff notes summary in less than 48 hours. It does not matter that he had an army of FBI agents helping. Billy, you have lots of explaining to do!

Springtime For POTUS

Submitted by ub on

President ‪Trump may be taking a victory lap and his base claiming vindication but his real legal perils are far away from being over. How did POTUS go from calling it a witchhunt to a very thorough and fair investigation and from attacking the special counsel to promoting his initial findings? Trump's legal team says Mueller was "professional" in carrying out his Russia investigation and honorable "because it was a great conclusion"

Lying In State vs Lying To The State

Submitted by ub on

Lying in state is an honor reserved for select elected officials and military officers. They are granted the honor of having their casket placed in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol for public viewing. Members of the armed forces guard the casket, each representing one of the branches, and periodically rotate. Customarily, only Presidents, military commanders, and members of Congress lie in state. Contrary to POTUS claims, the National Cathedral likely approved McCain's state funeral arrangements, and authorization from Congress is needed for lying in state at the Capitol.

Detention Without Representation

Submitted by ub on

Who is really well represented in immigration court? The odds of obtaining representation for newly arrived immigrants appearing in federal court has varied over the years. However, their rights appear to be slipping in recent years.

Also, immigrants in detention centers are often hundreds of miles away from legal assistance. Only a tiny percentage of detained immigrants have lawyers, leaving them to stay in the #USA and fend for themselves.

POTUS Crushed

After hitting a wall https with Congress when twelve Senate Republicans joined with Democrats in support of a measure terminating the president’s national “emergency” declaration to fund a border wall, POTUS immediately promised via Tweet to veto the bill.

Trump is apparently crushed that he has lost GOP control as 12 Senate Republicans vote with Democrats to kill his border emergency. His embarrassing reprimand from members of his own party did not begin when they voted on a resolution disapproving of his declaration of emergency over the border.

Killing USA Softly

Submitted by ub on

Defenseless #USA is a serious thing to say but being without a Pentagon Chief and Secretary of Defense is yet another way POTUS has failed to drain the swamp today.

Also, his Muslim ban, reducing regulations, Summits with dictators and thugs, while at the same time alienating our allies have had no real staying power.

Mexico Will Never Pay

Submitted by ub on

Do the math, the currency exchange rate between 1 United States Dollar equals 19.49 Mexican Pesos. How many pesos are 8 Billion Dollars?

Trump promised over and over again that Mexico would pay for his wall, so why does he now want American taxpayers to pay? And since we do not even know if @Realdonaldtrump pays any taxes, why should #USA be forced to pay?

Blind Justice For Some

Submitted by ub on

Paul John Manafort Jr. is an American lobbyist, political consultant, and convicted felon. The Republican joined Donald Trump's presidential campaign team in March 2016 and was promoted to campaign chairman from June to August 2016.

Paul Manafort’s slap on the wrist is a good example of American injustice in action While in school I may have spent more time in detention and inside the principals' office than he will now serve in his prison sentence.

How Does It Feel?

Submitted by ub on

Could it be happening here again that our government has decided to make a list of anyone who speaks for truth and justice for all?

Are we still living in a Democracy, is it a Monarchy, Republicanism, ToTaliTarianism, Fascism, DicTaTorship, Communism, or oliGarchy?

An enemies list is the name of what starts by identifying political opponents who are compiled by government officials who they feel are subversive, or somehow threaten the state, if they dare to disagree or question certain actions.

Trump Taxes

Submitted by ub on

As Americans approach the filing deadline for tax season, a group of Congressional leaders from The US House of Representative is formally demanding POTUS taxes.

They will seek his personal tax returns covering a decade, but not his business filings yet, said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/05/democrats-plan-to-demand-trum…
