Moscow Mitch Or Russia Mitch?

Submitted by ub on

US Senator Mitch McConnell used to act like a Republican #Russia hawk for as far as anyone can recall, so what explains blocking election security and gun background check legislation? #RussianMitch or #MoscowMitch are appropriate. Mitch McConnell was the one who stopped in August 2016 any and all reference to the Russians attacking our #American election when @POTUS Barack Obama wanted to warn the entire nation of these clear and present dangers. What explains the following?

- The Deripaska sanctions

- The Russia-tied political contributions

So let me get this straight. Disaster relief for California or Puerto Rico, not much available and gave paper towels. For Russia, AOK.

1995 and 2004 had 5 August hurricanes each! 2005 had two August hurricanes, of course including Katrina, another reminder it’s not just about how busy but how bad. Then 2005 had 10, but the one which did the most political harm was Maria in Puerto Rico.

World War III?

Has POTUS finally figured out how to reverse global warming? Is this the reason why he is returning to the cold war?

Is this a mistake? Rewarding to Russia for supporting Trump by defending their attack, giving Putin a free pass on Syria, strengthening North Korea, making NATO weaker, and diminishing US leadership in the free world. Trump is gaslighting America and telling us out loud he will welcome more interference from Russia in 2020, and #MoscowMitch will help enable it.

To respect transparency, I should point out that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. This makes me an independent who can not vote during primaries. In fact, I once worked for President George HW Bush as a GM 15/10 USIA TV Division Director.

Get it together, Democrats. Following two debates, you were attacking each other while POTUS and the GOP watched in delight.

Is POTUS trying to recreate the bench in his own image of white, male and conservatives? There appears to be a whole lot more to the story of Trump's unqualified judicial nominees.

Trump judicial nominees have caught the public spotlight for good reason, Besides their inexperience is obscuring an even more troubling story about what is at stake and that is there are many more vacancies on the bench.

Fortune Cocky Crisis

Oh, Magoo, you’ve done it again. This time it’s the sleeping dragon which is exhaling it’s financed fortune flames of fear for the remainder of the year.

The People’s Republic of China is warning that it will not be blackmailed and is now hinting of retaliation following POTUS vowing to slap a 10 percent tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports next month.

Xi may be reeling from Trump's latest tariff threat, but it's unclear if the US or China is losing (link: https://yhoo.it/337hD6R) yhoo.it/337hD6R

We do not enjoy being disrespectful of August or verbally disparagingly of this otherwise delightful month, but it is in response to attacks on multiple fronts as this alarming trend becomes increasingly common and fueled by our nation’s so-called leadership?

Beware of the August winds because the tides are changing. Global warning and fraud are not the only problems we’re facing, but also increased heated tempers from the charged rhetoric are starting to boil over. So, will cool love prevail over boiling hate?

Chasing UNIVISION

Después de los Mexicanos, fueron Venezolanos, y luego Colombianos. Pero cuando era el ejecutivo a cargo de Noticiero Univision, realmente era One Vision.

Tuvimos el noticiero de la red primo en cada grupo demográfico. Disfrutamos de los programas más vistos, incluidos los programas de noticias en inglés, porque yo venía de la red número uno de Estados Unidos y nuestras noticias pateaban el culo todas las noches.

Todos los hispanos creyeron y confiaron en UNIVISION. Esos fueron los viejos tiempos.

US Senators Warren and Sanders were loudly and clearly heard but several centrists also broke away from the political herd.

It was the first of a two-night party for the Democrats and there're much more on tap for tonight.

Has POTUS been on a permanent vacation since the inauguration? If so then Congress feels it’s OKAY to stay away from DC for their summer holiday. Although, if you ask me, neither party has earned a degree or one day of paid break.

Meanwhile, there have been multiple #GOP retirements of lawmakers recently, some have served in Congress for over a decade or more. What’s really going on in our nation’s Capitol?
