Judge Rules Biden Administration Likely Trampled on Free Speech on Social Media
Preliminary injunction orders federal agencies to refrain from pressuring social-media companies on censorship

A federal judge ruled that the Biden administration likely trampled on the First Amendment in trying to eliminate what it saw as disinformation on social media, issuing a broad preliminary injunction limiting the federal government from policing online content.

In a 155-page ruling issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana barred White House officials and multiple federal agencies from contacting social-media companies with the purpose of suppressing political views and other speech normally protected from government censorship.

The judge’s injunction came in a lawsuit led by the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana who alleged that the Biden administration fostered a sprawling “federal censorship enterprise.” The federal government, the lawsuit claimed, pressured social-media platforms to scrub away disfavored views about Covid-19 health policies, the origins of the pandemic, the Hunter Biden laptop story, election security and other sensitive topics.

The case is among the most potentially consequential First Amendment battles pending in the courts, testing the limits on government scrutiny of social-media content on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other major platforms.

“[T]he evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario,” wrote Judge Doughty. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’”

The judge said the plaintiffs “have presented substantial evidence in support of their claims that they were the victims of a far-reaching and widespread censorship campaign.”
A spokesman for the Justice Department declined to comment.

Missouri v. Biden, as the case is called, is among dozens of so-called censorship-by-proxy lawsuits challenging account suspensions, content removals and other suppression of social-media posts on First Amendment grounds.

CORRUPTION

The White House That Tracked Down Grannies After Capitol Riot Wants You To Believe Cocaine Caper Has Them Stumped

BY: JORDAN BOYD
JULY 06, 2023

https://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-06-at-10.54.21-AM-min-e1688659105863-2048x1152.png

https://thefederalist.com/2023/07/06/the-white-house-that-tracked-down-grannies-after-capitol-riot-wants-you-to-believe-cocaine-caper-has-them-stumped/

The White House is apparently giving up on finding who is responsible for leaving an illicit drug in the executive mansion last weekend. At least, that’s what Politico reported based on the testimony of an unnamed law enforcement official.

“White House cocaine culprit unlikely to be found: Law enforcement official,” the headline reads.

A snarky subhead noted, “Lines may have been snorted and crossed,” but “it’s possible we won’t know by whom.”

Officials evacuated the White House on Sunday evening after a white powdery substance was reportedly discovered in a “work area” in the West Wing (the location later changed to “near the Situation Room”). Dispatches from the emergency crews at the scene quickly confirmed that the “unknown item” was a bag of cocaine.

“We have a yellow bar stating cocaine hydrochloride,” a D.C. firefighter said in a radio communication at 8:49 p.m. on Sunday.

The White House is supposedly equipped with state-of-the-art security that would make finding the druggie who lost his illegal loot incredibly easy.

White House staff and visitors are required to go through multiple security checkpoints before entering areas like the West Wing. Some of these screening areas are even equipped with dogs that are trained to alert to illegal substances and items. Where metal detectors and cameras may fail, swarms of Secret Service and White House visitor logs are designed to prevail.

Against a bag of cocaine, however, Politico’s inside man suggests all of these measures are moot.

“Even if there were surveillance cameras, unless you were waving it around, it may not have been caught,” the anonymous official told Politico. “It’s a bit of a thoroughfare. People walk by there all the time.”

Unless the cocaine came from a member of the first family, such as Hunter Biden, who potentially resides in the White House and gets a free pass to walk in and out of the mansion’s many doors without scrutiny, finding the cocaine culprit should be an open and shut case for the “Excellence through talent, technology, and diversity” within the Secret Service. Yet, the Biden administration repeatedly showcases a lack of interest in discovering and sharing who dropped the bag and why.

“So, what’s preventing a visitor from bringing in anthrax or something that’s not magnetic into the White House?” one reporter queried at Wednesday’s press briefing.

It’s a question worth asking. If the cocaine caper truly was a security breach that law enforcement officials couldn’t catch at security checkpoints or on cameras, the White House cannot, in good conscience, claim that the first family is safe in the executive mansion.

Instead of addressing reporters’ concerns, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that the president and his family — including his son, who has a long history with the illicit drug — were not at the White House during the incident. She, along with several White House leakers, also repeated the idea that the drugs were discovered in a “heavily traveled area” where “many … West Wing visitors come through.”

“We have confidence that the Secret Service will get to the bottom of this,” Jean-Pierre said.

Americans who know anything about the Biden family’s Secret Service team should not find that statement reassuring, considering the cush agency’s track record of going to great lengths to clean up Hunter’s missing gun mess in 2018.

Security failures in important government buildings, including the White House, have certainly occurred in the past. When protestors walked into the Capitol on January 6 — one of the most notable breaches in recent history — the Biden regime partnered with banks, cell phone companies, and Big Tech to track down, question, and arrest people near and in the federal building.

Months after the afternoon chaos, people like Georgia grandma Linda Menk, who merely attended the Trump rally near the White House on Jan. 6, received house visits from the FBI who demanded to question her about her stint in D.C.

To this day, with encouragement from the president himself, Biden’s Department of Justice is working to find and charge Americans for their presence in the Capitol in 2021. But when it comes to finding the crackhead who left his cargo somewhere in the president’s residence, the White House clearly couldn’t be less interested in pursuing an investigation.

The administration dead-set on “bringing transparency” back to the nation is hiding something.

Whether the cocaine belongs to someone with a history of doing crack like Hunter — who would be in direct violation of his sweetheart plea deal if the drug bag was connected to him — a staffer, or even a White House guest, Americans deserve to know why the Biden administration suddenly doesn’t care about security breaches.

"Evaluating the Success of the War on Poverty Since 1963 Using an Absolute Full-Income Poverty Measure"

I post this article because the study it is based on is behind a paywall (LINK (https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/725705?journalCode=jpe)). The article is from the NZZ and that often has regional limitation and cannot be posted as a Google website translator link.

How far has the U.S. come in the fight against poverty? Much further than officially reported, say researchers.

The official poverty rate in the U.S. has shown little progress for 50 years. Now, a group of researchers says the war on poverty proclaimed by U.S. President Lyndon Johnson in 1963 has been won. How can this be?

It's not fair if you change the rules of the game in the middle of the game and make the goal smaller so that scoring becomes more difficult. Or when you already have the finish line in sight on a run - and then it is moved back another kilometer. And yet this is exactly what happens year after year in the fight against poverty. Once upon a time, a threshold was defined below which someone is considered poor. But over time, when the majority of the population is better off, the threshold is set higher and higher.

The problem is that you never know exactly where you stand in the fight against poverty, whether all the measures that the state has taken over the years have achieved anything or not.

This is exemplified in the USA. In his 1963 State of the Union address, U.S. President Lyndon Johnson declared a "war on poverty. At that time, the poverty threshold was defined by first determining an extremely frugal food plan and then tripling the expenditures for it, because a poor household spent about one third of its resources on food. This arrived at a poverty threshold for an individual of just under $10,000 per year (at 2019 prices).
Official figures exaggerate the problem

A team led by renowned Cornell University researcher Richard Burkhauser now wanted to know how far the U.S. has come in fighting poverty since Johnson's "declaration of war." To do this, the economists took Lyndon Johnson's 1963 poverty threshold and adjusted it each year for inflation. But they also took into account that the U.S. has introduced new social programs in the meantime. Poor families receive wage subsidies, for example, or there is rudimentary health insurance for the poor in the form of Medicaid. Food cards or school lunches have also been expanded.

Official poverty rate hides progress

The result is impressive: The fight against poverty, as Johnson had proclaimed, has practically been won. By the time the Corona pandemic broke out, the percentage of the population below the poverty line had fallen from nearly 20 percent in 1963 to just 1.6 percent. Focusing on the poverty rate for blacks, it even dropped from 51 to 2.9 percent.

https://i.postimg.cc/TwQR1HYc/Unbenannt.png (https://postimages.org/)

The officially reported poverty rate in the USA is quite different: Here, the starting point was also the original level of the threshold in Johnson's time. But the official measure does not take into account Medicaid, school lunch or meal vouchers, or the wage subsidies (Earned Income Tax Credit) that have been added in the meantime. It thus gives an incomplete picture of the resources available to a poor household.

In addition, the poverty threshold has been raised continuously over time, making it more difficult to jump over - the target band has thus been moved several times. As a result, the official poverty rate has made less progress over time; at last count, it was only just above 10 percent.

One criticism of Burkhauser's poverty measure is obvious: $10,000 won't get a person far in the U.S. today. When it comes to participation in society, many experts therefore rely on a poverty threshold that is based on the median income and grows with it.

In this case, however, poverty will never disappear, as an extreme example illustrates. If everyone suddenly has twice as much income, the poverty rate will remain the same if the threshold is set at half the median income, for example. In this case, the median income divides the population into two halves: One has more income than the median, the other less.

This has happened grosso modo in the United States. At the time, the 1963 poverty threshold was a good half of the median income. But the median income for one person, adjusted for inflation, has more than doubled since 1963, from $18,000 to $49,000. All have improved over time, but the distribution in the bottom half has not changed as much: As a result, relative poverty has declined comparatively little, from 19.5 to 15.3 percent.

Six in ten Americans escape poverty

The progress of the poor relative to the middle class has thus been modest, while the United States has virtually shaken off absolute poverty. However, President Johnson also cautioned in his speech that the fight against poverty is not just about helping the poor. Rather, they should also stand on their own two feet as much as possible.

Here, the study shows that (also) in the U.S., dependence on government transfers has increased. In 1967, 4.7 percent of working-age people had received more than half of their income from the government; in 2019, 11 percent did. Among blacks, that dependence climbed as high as 11 percent to 20 percent, and among their children, from 18 percent to 28 percent.

However, this is not an inevitable development. In the 1990s, this dependency temporarily declined sharply. At that time - i.e., during the presidency of Democrat Bill Clinton - the welfare system was reorganized in such a way that taking up a job was a prerequisite for receiving certain subsidies. This reform also fell on fertile ground because the economy, and thus the labor market, was in full swing at the time.

To be sure, not everything in the U.S. is at its best, as anyone who has visited a major city knows. But to deny the progress is to encourage an attitude that everything is getting worse - which is not true. In fact, if you take today's official threshold and look at how many Americans had lower incomes in 1963, you would have had to classify as many as 70 percent of Americans as poor back then. So by today's modern standards, six out of ten Americans have been able to lift themselves out of poverty since 1963.

DeSantis’ Problem Isn’t Trump, It’s That Dems Rigged The Last Election

https://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Davidson-headshot-1-150x150.jpg John Daniel Davidson
Visit on Twitter @johnddavidson (https://twitter.com/johnddavidson)

You might have noticed a media narrative taking shape the last few days about how Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign has “stalled.” A Politico Playbook item (https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2023/07/08/jason-miller-vs-kristin-davison-on-the-desantis-stall-00105307) over the weekend described it as a “failure to launch,” noting that polling for DeSantis peaked in January at 40.5 percent and has since settled in the low 20s amid a barrage of attacks from former President Donald Trump.

Playbook also cited other news outlets recently casting doubt on the DeSantis operation, from fundraising struggles to lack of endorsements to difficulties distinguishing himself from Trump on policy. DeSantis super PAC official Steve Cortes added fuel to the narrative fire in an interview Sunday night, bemoaning the polls and admitting, “clearly Donald Trump is the runaway frontrunner.”

One could of course object that it’s only July, that polls don’t mean much this far out from the primaries, and that corporate media want nothing more than to push a DeSantis-is-stalled narrative whether it’s true or not, because they hate and fear him just as they hate and fear Trump.

But maybe there’s something else going on here. If enthusiasm for DeSantis seems lacking, maybe it has little or nothing to do with DeSantis or his campaign. Perhaps what we’re seeing is less about him and still less about 2024 or the upcoming GOP primary scrum, and more about what happened in 2020. Put bluntly, maybe what we’re seeing now is an early sign that what Democrats, Big Tech, and corporate media did in 2020 was inject poison into our political system, and the 2024 election cycle is going to show us just how deadly that poison is.

Recall that 2020 was unlike any election in American history. One need not declare that it was “stolen” to admit that it was obviously rigged (https://thefederalist.com/2021/10/29/7-insane-things-i-just-learned-about-how-u-s-elections-are-rigged/). After all, the people and institutions that rigged it have freely admitted (https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/) what they did. They suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story, censored what Americans could say on social media, introduced unprecedented changes to our voting system under the pretext of pandemic precautions, and poured hundreds of millions of dollars into putatively nonpartisan local election offices through Mark Zuckerberg-connected nonprofits for the sole purpose of turning out Democrat voters in swing states.

Nothing like that has ever happened in American history. And it was all done for the singular purpose of ensuring that Trump would not serve a second term. What’s more, all of that came after four years of the permanent regime in Washington discarding every political norm, bending every rule, and breaking more than a few laws in a failed effort to oust Trump from office during his first term.

Now, maybe you think that’s all nonsense, or just water under the bridge. What’s done is done, we can’t go back, and even if the 2020 election wasn’t on the level we all just need to move on and go about the 2024 primary season like it’s business as usual. There’ll be debates and a deluge of political ads and campaign shenanigans. There’ll be a chaotic, rambunctious primary full of zingers and debate moderator tomfoolery, and at the end of it Republicans will have their nominee and we can all get on with the general election.

Sorry, but that’s not going to happen. It won’t happen because Trump supporters are understandably not willing to forget 2020 and just trundle along through 2024 like none of it happened. Plenty of them will always believe, not without reason, that 2020 was stolen outright. Many millions more believe, with even more reason, that it was rigged unfairly against Trump and that the same forces are at work now to rig it against whomever the GOP nominee turns out to be.

Does that mean Trump is somehow entitled to the nomination, or even to another term in the White House? Not necessarily. To the extent that 2020 was stolen, it wasn’t strictly speaking stolen from Trump but from the American people, the voters who cast their ballots for Trump in good faith, trusting that our elections were free and fair.

Now that their faith has proved misplaced, do you think they’re going to line up for a GOP primary and consider each candidate on his or her merits, giving them all a fair hearing? Of course not. As far as they’re concerned, they were robbed of their votes in the last election by a corrupt cabal of powerful elites who are still in control.

Indeed, we know more today about the astounding level of corruption and election-rigging in 2020 than we did at the time. None of the problems have been fixed, and no reparations have been made. You can’t expect these voters to simply move on and act like 2024 is going to be a free and fair election, and accept whatever result the machine coughs up.

To win over GOP primary voters who supported Trump in the past two cycles, these candidates have to speak to the injustice that was done in 2020, they have to admit what happened, name who did it, and affirm that we cannot have a self-governing republic if that’s how our elections are going to be.
And therein lies the problem for a candidate like DeSantis — to say nothing of such winsome and meritorious gunners like Vivek Ramaswamy or Tim Scott. How can you decry what they did to Trump in one breath and in the next proclaim that you’re the best person to redress those grievances? That Trump should stand aside and let you, Nikki Haley, restore faith in American elections and put Democrats in their place.

Maybe it can be done, maybe they can come up with a rationale for their candidacies that will appeal to Trump supporters. It certainly would be a neat trick.

But if you’re trying to explain why an otherwise popular figure like DeSantis isn’t gaining traction among GOP primary voters, the answer has less to do with Trump and more to do with what Democrats did in 2020. No one should expect Trump voters to forgive and forget. Democrats and their accomplices might have thought they were getting rid of Trump once and for all, and maybe they will get rid of him in the end. But right now, it looks like they sowed the wind.

Senator Chuck Grassley released the FD-1023 form, alleging that Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma's founder, paid a $5,000,000 bribe each to Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden to have Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired.

Hunter was reportedly hired by Zlochevsky to use his political influence to halt investigations into money laundering.

In 2018, Joe Biden admitted to pressuring Ukraine's President to fire Shokin, who was investigating his son's Ukrainian energy company, using the threat of withholding a $1 billion US loan guarantee.

In 2020, Ukrainian officials seized a $6 million cash bribe linked to Zlochevsky, aimed at stopping an investigation into Burisma's founder.

The bribe was found in the form of $100 bills wrapped in rubber bands and held in plastic bags.

And let’s not forget

During a press conference held in November 0f 2022, Joe Biden made some concerning remarks about his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, potentially returning to power. Looking back many have interpreted his words as an admission of fear that he cannot beat Trump in a fair election.

The issue arose when Biden was asked to address so-called international concerns about Trump’s possible return to the political scene. His response? A laugh, followed by a pledge to use the “legitimate efforts of our Constitution” to ensure Trump doesn’t become president again if he decides to run.

TRANSCRIPT:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...-conference-8/

Q – So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former President will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not —

BIDEN: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.

Nancy Mace was keen to bring back the old clip following Trump’s highly anticipated second indictment since Biden made these claims. “Just in case anyone is confused what this is really about, this is the President last November,” Mace wrote.

You don’t need to be a Trump supporter to view this as a thinly veiled threat to use legal maneuvers to prevent Trump from even having a chance to run. After Tuesday, Trump will have endured two arraignments since Biden made these claims, pointing more and more towards what many perceive as election interference.

Biden’s statements came in response to a question about how he would reassure international leaders, raising questions about whether he’s more concerned about the opinions of foreign heads of state than those of the American people.

Things are heating up on the Trump legal front. When will the GOP grow a pair and drop the pretense, that he's electable? Never apparently, while he breaths and has the voice of his cult following.

New charges brought to the Florida documents indictment and DC indictments for voter election interference immanent.

Trials in October, January, March, and May 2024 already scheduled. Please note, all of these investigations were begun before Trump announced his candidacy for 2024. Election interference claims are all of his making and his plan for avoiding the legal responsibilities of his prior acts.

The fact is he's still quite electable which is exactly why these Banana Republic prosecutions continue. The man has been under constant investigation even before he entered the Oval Office, been impeached twice, and in the meantime nary a peep about the Biden Crime familys enormous and decades long illegal shakedown operation.

In 2018, Hunter Biden paid a Russian pimp $25,000 from Joe Biden's bank account, causing the Secret Service to frantically rush to his hotel.

Hunter paid his father's phone bills, house repairs, and monthly expenses and told his daughter that he "paid for everything for this entire family for 30 years... But don't worry unlike Pop I won't make you give me half your salary."

The entire Biden family business model was selling access to the highest levels of the US government to foreign nationals without registering under the Foreign Agent Registration Act in violation of federal law.

The Bidens funneled the money through business partners and shell companies because they obtained it illegally as unregistered foreign agents representing interests in Russia, China, and Ukraine.

Evidence supporting these claims includes bank records, wire transfer statements, suspicious activity reports, witness testimony, and data from Hunter Biden's laptop, which the FBI verified as authentic in 2019.

The laptop contains the last decade of Hunter Biden's life, including hundreds of thousands of emails, text messages, audio recordings, and photographs.

Six banks, including JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, submitted over 170 suspicious activity reports to the Treasury Department regarding the Biden family, alleging their involvement in money laundering, human trafficking, and tax fraud.

Any average American family would face life in prison.

However, the Bidens live in the White House, where they weaponize the same Justice Department that just got caught offering Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal against their chief political rival.

Bidenomics! Don’t say it didn’t warn you.

The article says Gulf coast refinery’s are at reduced output. Couple that with Democrats draining our nations oil reserves from 346.8 million barrels to 55.5 million barrels the last two years. Expect prices to rise even further as public demand exceeds supply. Instead of actually fixing the economy. Blue anon Democrats hero Sleepy Joe drained our nations oil reserves to their lowest since 1983 only to artificially lower the prices at the pump to make the themselves look good.

How much you wanna bet democrats/marxists will soon be calling for price control. :har:

The Saudis are hosting upcoming peace talks, better hope Biden kisses the kings arse well enough to increase oil production to meet demands. But lemme guess the gullible blue anon left wing loon response will be. Ya, but what about Trump derp?

Gas prices in the US just spiked to their highest mark since November
Phil Rosen

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gas-prices-economy-markets-biden-white-house-energy-fuel-supply-2023-7

US gas prices hit an eight-month high on Friday.

Average retail gasoline spiked 12 cents in three days, hitting $3.732 per gallon.

An outage at a key Gulf Coast refinery is threatening already-low supply.

As if Americans needed another reason to work from home, US gas prices spiked Friday to their highest mark since November, according to AAA data.
The average retail price for a gallon of gas just hit $3.732, up from $3.587 a week ago and $3.556 a month ago. It's the second-highest mark for this time of year in the last decade, according to Bloomberg.

The high prices come as a critical Gulf Coast refinery endures an extended outage that's threatening already-low supplies.

Surging gas prices could also have a negative impact on President Joe Biden's reelection bid, which is largely built on a platform of lower inflation and his ability to restore consumer confidence.

Though the latest Consumer Price Index reading showed inflation is falling, gas prices are a tangible indicator for everyday Americans of how the economy appears to be doing, which makes it key for voters.

"Some industry experts speculate that scorching temps in that region are keeping people off the road," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a recent statement.
To be sure, a year ago gas prices hovered at $4.278, about 12% higher than current levels.

Meanwhile, oil prices slipped Friday, though they remain on pace for the fifth consecutive week of gains. West Texas Intermediate crude moved 0.51% lower Friday to hit $79.68 a barrel while Brent crude, the international benchmark, dropped 0.36% to $83.95 a barrel.

Biden tries to arrest a witness

Wow just wow :o. A Biden judge reinstated fraud charges against a key witness. Then the Biden DOJ attempted to jail said witness on Saturday just before he could give his testimony to the house oversight committee. :doh: Not only are all democrats pervs and child molesters they’re corrupt pervs and child molesters. :har:

The DOJ is trying to arrest Devon Archer ahead of his bombshell testimony about Joe Biden's involvement in his son Hunter Biden's Ukraine business when he was VP.

US Attorney in the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, issued a letter yesterday telling Judge Abrams to order Archer to go to jail immediately to serve a one-year sentence for his fraud conviction.

CROMER ASKS WHY NOW?

"The letter from the Department of Justice is trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence Devin Archer for something unrelated to what we're gonna be talking to him about tomorrow," Rep. Comer said.

"It's odd that it was issued on a Saturday, and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American people the truth about what really went on with Burisma."

WHAT ARCHER IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY ABOUT

Archer is expected to tell lawmakers that Biden met with dozens of Hunter's business associates while he was serving as vice president between 2009 and 2017.

Archer is expected to detail the meetings he witnessed that both Bidens attended—either in person or via telephone. Archer will reportedly testify that Hunter would specifically introduce his father to foreign business partners or prospective investors.

https://youtu.be/Yla5fuMEhjE

Remember what started Trumps woes? It was when he called Zelensky and inquired into the corruption of your hero Sleepy Joe, his crackhead son and Burisma.

No wonder Biden publicly stated to the world he was eager to do everything in his power to prevent Trump from running again.

Q – So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former President will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not —

BIDEN:: Oh, yeah? (Laughs.)

Q — once again take power in the United States?

BIDEN: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in response to the president-elect challenging allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this," Schumer added.

“What do you think the intelligence community will do if they were motivated to,” Maddow wondered.

“I don’t know, but from what I am told intelligence officials are “very upset with how [Trump] has treated them and talked about them,” Schumer replied.

“Do we think he has an agenda to try to dismantle parts of the intelligence community? I mean this form of taunting hostility," she said.

“Let me tell you. Whether you’re a super liberal Democrat or a very conservative Republican, you should be against dismantling the intelligence community," Schumer noted.

Frankly the elites/intelligence community want neither Trump or Biden to run. Us peasants will just have to be satisfied with whoever they decide we’re allowed to vote for as president.

But as ‘the big guy’ said he can only use our legal system to ensure he can’t be president ever again. Since indictments are not trials they just have to sound convincing so they will continue flow forth until he’s broke.

But then, nobody wants the ‘the big guy’ to run either so they’re going after him and his crackhead son.

Now, I am by no means choosing team R over team D but it is my opinion Biden should have more to worry about. But then silly me also thought a person who pulls the trigger and kills someone on a movie set should have been found guilty too.

Conclusion: The USA is the motherland of modern democracy, which is why this dysfunctionality radiates to other nations.

In an attempt to help shield Biden from criticism, why Fitch blames January 6th for the downgrade! :har:

"You have the debt ceiling, you have Jan. 6. Clearly, if you look at polarization with both parties ... the Democrats have gone further left and Republicans further right, so the middle is kind of falling apart basically," said senior director at Fitch Ratings Richard Francis.

Fitch Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating

The ratings firm said that the downgrade reflects an ‘erosion of governance’

https://archive.ph/mH4QZ

By Dean Seal , Matt Grossman and Andrew Duehren
Aug. 1, 2023 6:13 pm ET

Fitch Ratings downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating weeks after President Biden and congressional Republicans came to the brink of a historic default, warning about the growing debt burden and political dysfunction in Washington.
The ratings firm downgraded the U.S.’s long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating to “AA+” from “AAA” to reflect expected financial deterioration in the coming years and the government’s growing debt burden.
The first downgrade of the U.S. by a major ratings firm in more than a decade, the move underscores the high stakes of this spring’s legislative drama for the critical $20 trillion global market for U.S. government debt.
Fitch said Tuesday that the downgrade reflects an “erosion of governance” in the U.S. relative to other top-tier economies over the past two decades, pointing to the financial uncertainty posed by a series of close calls in which legislative stalemates nearly derailed routine payments on U.S. Treasury debt, typically treated by investors around the world as ultrasafe.
“The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management,” Fitch said.

The latest indictment of Donald Trump is politics masquerading as law masquerading as politics.

https://themessenger.com/opinion/trumps-jan-6-indictment-a-political-scheme-to-influence-the-next-election

In our system, it is the obligation of the Article I branch, Congress, to counter abuses of power by the Article II branch, the executive. The Framers would have scoffed at the notion that a president could be checked — effectively and without partisan enmity — by prosecutors who worked for either (a) the president who was suspected of wrongdoing, or (b) a president of the opposition party — particularly one, such as Joe Biden, who is running against Trump, the former president under suspicion.

Trump is charged with defrauding the United States, even though it was just a few weeks ago — in throwing out convictions of two cronies of former New York governor Andrew Cuomo — that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that, in federal law, “fraud” means a swindle to bilk victims out of money or tangible property. It is not a vehicle by which prosecutors may impose their vision of good government.

The political objective of this political scheme, which the Biden Justice Department has masqueraded as a legal proceeding, is to rush the case to trial and inundate voters with Capitol riot imagery in the 2024 campaign stretch-run. Ironically, it’s a corrupt scheme to influence the presidential election — exactly what Trump is accused of doing.

Well, Donnyboy, you endlessly lied, you conspired, your tried to overthrow the political order in your country, you tried to steal the election, and now you are being held responsible for your crimes. They give it many legal names and specific terms, but I prefer to use an old fashioned one: high treason. And my idea of a penalty for high treason also is old-fashioned and quite simple: having a walk to the gallow. Sigh. Sometimes the old times are to be missed.

If lying politicians can be prosecuted for ‘fraud,’ as he proposes in the Trump indictment, we’ll need a lot of new prisons.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-unprecedented-jack-smith-special-counsel-donald-trump-president-fraud-c076a2ee?mod=opinion_featst_pos1

...former Attorney General William Barr told CNN on Wednesday, “there were reasons not to bring” the case, and among them is “the slippery slope of criminalizing legitimate political activity.”

There are any number of things as certain as death and taxes. One is that politicians will lie, and act on those untruths. Now that might make them felons.

Let me see if I got this correct.

When former President talked about the wall between Mexico and USA-The Dems and the left mocked him.

Now where Republican states is shipping immigrants to Democrat states-The Dems and the left can get enough time to build this wall ?

Is this correct understod ?

Markus

Watching one episode of the drama regarding the wall. What I got out of it was the main argument then Majority Leader Pelosi had is Trump had to get Congress to approve funding. Trump however just wanted to get’er done. IMO both had reasons to be at odds with each other and personally I favored Pelosi’s argument. I think the biggest problem was that Trump didn’t understand the give and take required for what he wanted done. That and I don’t think they liked each other very much. Federal money is allocated by legislation passed by Congress, not the will of one man.

However there was nothing then and there is nothing now which prevents congress from appropriating those funds to finish the wall either.

It’s just one all around big mess. Welcome to team D and team R politics, it’s an emotional state of mind short on facts.

Has this guy totally lost control of his senses?

The US Justice Department has asked the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election fraud case to step in after the former president appeared to threaten revenge against anyone who “goes after him”.

Prosecutors asked US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a “protective order” in the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

It came after Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social, using all caps: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!”

The prosecution argued that the post suggested Mr Trump might intimidate witnesses by improperly disclosing confidential evidence received from the government.

I guess Trump will get hit for calling Georgia's Secretary of State and demanding he find more votes for him.
Certainly there will be the usual some who try to excuse this, and it will be fun. There is a lot you can do as president and get away with, but being recorded demanding a change to the vote is one of those few things that will get you across the line.

On the other hand he convinced a lot of the worst people to fly out to Washington on their own money to commit federal crimes (with him as Trump announced, but then he somehow did not appear) and go to prison.

"Then he rode off into the sunset with their money and didn't bother to pardon a single one of them. The exact thing these people would do to anyone else and absolutely deserved for thinking a lifelong conman gave a sh!t about them. He was just like them, and treated them as they would treat anyone if they were at the same trophic sphere of political power."

Just an FYI, it’s my understanding there are two ways prosecutors attempt to officially accuse someone of wrong doing.

One is by a preliminary hearing where they have to convince a judge.

Two, if the feel they don’t have sufficient evidence to convince a judge. Prosecutors will use a grand jury because it’s easier to convince a bunch of plebes who have been bombarded for eight years by headlines which have seared into their brains that Trump is already guilty.

As I posted earlier you get dumbass plebes like the one below making decisions based on eight years of living the drama.

A grand jury isn’t a hearing it isn’t a trial it has nothing to do with pronouncing guilt or innocence, and defense lawyers are NOT involved. It’s just the prosecutor wowing a select group of plebes about the wonderful things he can do to officially charge a suspect. On the other hand at a Preliminary Hearing defense lawyers are directly involved and do have say. I believe defense lawyers, judges know the law and rules of evidence and are held to and demand high standards. Which is why I said that sometimes prosecutors prefer a grand jury over preliminary hearings, they just have to convince a bunch of plebes

There are not two political parties in the United States. That is a carefully maintained illusion foisted upon the people in order to keep them divided, with both halves constantly at each other's throats.

There is only one political party and they know that if all the people ever stop squabbling and hating each other, they might wake up to what is really going on, and then there would be big trouble.

If voting actually made any genuine difference, it would be illegal. Besides, voting is tantamount to wishing your favored candidate God speed. 2 John 1:11 applies.

So a short review of (HIM who may not be named):

He systematically discredited a democratic election.
He (HIMSELF) prepared the falsification of the results.
He forced responsible politicians to manipulate the number of votes, and sent fake-electors to Washington.
Finally HE agitated the mob to a bloody storm for the Capitol.

All this is well-known.

In one and a half years a congressional commission of inquiry has meticulously gathered the details of an attempted overthrow of one of the oldest democracies.

Anyway, up to now before court HE only had to take responsibility in side-show prosecutions. The cover-up of bribing a porn star in his financial statements, the stashing away of secret government documents and the instigation of public servants – those alone are all serious criminal actions alright.
But they do not rudimentarily capture the dimension of the social destruction HE brought over the country.

With the third accusation about the incidents around the attempted coup of january 8th, 2021, some Mr. Smith eventually advances to the core of the crime:

HE knew exactly that the allegation of election fraud had no substance. He willfully created an atmosphere of mistrust and fury, to undermine the Americans' confidence in the elections.
Although he knew he had lost he was determined to stay in office.
Juristically this is willfull deception, the obstruction of a democratic process and authentication of election, the conspiracy to deny the citizens their voting rights.
And this alone is enough for a few years of arrest.

In case you haven’t been paying attention they all pout and discredit the system and get lawyers involved when they lose. Hell, one even said after losing we should just get rid of the electorate all together which would amount to mob rule.

He forced them huh? I’d love to hear the story about how he managed that. Was it at gun point?

The reason they are called ‘fake’ electors is because everybody knows including the fakes they have absolutely no legal basis. It’s called political pandering, meaningless.

Hormonal methods, like birth control pills and vaginal rings.
Implanted devices, like intrauterine devices (IUDs).

Biden admin cancels oil order to replenish Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Report

Biden drained the SPR last year to its lowest level in almost four decades.

The Biden administration has canceled an offer to buy 6 million barrels of oil to replenish America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), multiple outlets have reported.

Last year, President Biden drew criticism when he sold off 180 million barrels of oil from the SPR, resulting in a near 4-decade reserve low, which he claimed helped to "stabilize crude oil markets and reduce prices at the pump."

This July, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced a buyback plan to replenish the reserve. One of those acquisition orders, however, has been canceled amid rising oil costs, according to Reuters.

The administration previously set its target price was $67 to $72 per barrel, which is well below current market value. WTI and Brent Crude currently trade for more than $82 and $86 per barrel, respectively.

Nonetheless, a DOE official says the agency "remains committed to its replenishment strategy for the SPR."

What a shame that some well meaning President didn't try to refill the reserve when prices were low. :hmmm:

Prices were only artificially low because our wannabe dictator was tapping into and draining our strategic reserves causing an oil glut. If he were to start refilling them now it would cause a crunch and only make oil and gasoline prices to rise even higher, faster.

Doesn’t even matter if it’s dangerous to our national security. It’s what happens when headline chasing blue anon conspiracy theorists and Brandon fanbois bunch together for a short term fix to gas prices. Now that it’s mostly all gone the party is over. Rest assure though they’ll still be patting themselves on the back while at the same time blaming someone else or some made-up boogie man.

If ya think about it the real traitors to democracy and our nation are those politicians and party fanbois who placed our national security at risk draining the strategic oil reserves for the sake of party politics and looking good on camera.

Maintaining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an important national security tool to combat disruptions in the oil market. The reserve is intended to be America’s insurance policy against a severe oil supply disruption or a severe economic disruption. We strongly oppose the use of oil stockpiles to affect gasoline prices. Market interference makes us all more vulnerable and is counterproductive to long-term adjustments in the marketplace. A better solution is to enhance, not stifle or shut-down, America’s leadership in natural gas and oil production.
If the government regularly released SPR oil for sale each time domestic fuel prices rose, we could reduce our ability to address a situation with the potential to seriously injure the U.S. economy. In addition, a draw-down of the reserve might not have the desired result.
Over the past few days, several Members of Congress have urged the White House and the Department of Energy to sell oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). They seek crude oil sales from the Reserve to relieve the recent spikes in gasoline prices, not because there is a crude oil supply emergency, but more so a political problem for them.

Pretty hilarious how the left’s position on the border immediately changes when they actually have to deal with it themselves.

Bowman specifically said Biden was making Democrats look bad.

About 49,500 people took their own lives in the United States last year. This is the highest number of suicides in the country ever, figures from the government show, according to Ritzau.

According to The Washington Post, the increase may have something to do with, among other things, the fact that more people get depression and have limited opportunities to get help for mental illnesses.

And then there is one particularly decisive factor: Firearms.

A recent analysis by Johns Hopkins University found that the rate of suicides involving firearms last year was the highest on record.

So yes you have bigger problems than the upcoming trail against former President.

I have never seen a President, since Obama was the President, being so hated by millions like the former President.

I was told why so many millions worshipped him, but why this hatred ?

It's either like or hate.
And then there are those, like me, who do neither.

You've NEVER seen a President hated so much by the press or the powers that be EVER. People are being told to hate him, and they're good little sheep. :03:

Lincoln could have given Trump a run for his money when it comes to being hated.

A friend said I should take a look at the 14th Amendment section 3.

I have read it and I say it's up to the justice to decide whether he has:

"engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." or not.

^^ Ya, everyone thinks they’re a constitutional lawyer. :har:

Anyway, in other news.

El Presidente Joe Biden is asked about the devastating Maui fires and to the amazement of others replies with ‘no comment.’ Then literally turns about and trots into his vehicle smiling. What a feeble old man :roll:

Thousands displaced.
2200 structures have been destroyed.
86% of these structures were residential.
96 confirmed dead, and this number is expected to rise.

…and Biden doesn’t even have a comment.

IMO this indicates he is totally unaware of current events because nobody bothers telling him anything. Or he is unable to formulate a simple answer without days of practice by his handlers.

Q So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former President will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not —

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, yeah? (Laughs.)

Q — once again take power in the United States?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.

The former president is accused of the following felony counts, including:

Violating Georgia's racketeering act
Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer
Conspiracy to impersonate a public officer
Conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree
False statements and writings and filing false documents

The indictment refers to the defendants as a "criminal organisation", accusing them of other crimes including influencing witnesses, computer trespass, theft and perjury.The most serious charge, violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (Rico) Act, is punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison. The act - designed to help take down organised criminal syndicates like the mafia - helps prosecutors connect the dots between underlings who broke laws and those who gave them orders.

Been told that each of these counts will give prison for year(s)

I read that he had a nickname Teflon Don. This time I think his teflon has cracked.

People have been saying that for years. But, even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes.

When ya think about it, all the drama, accusations, indictments and headlines simply boils down to one thing, a power struggle between elites, like they do in the banana republics. It’s great way for the club currently in power to ensure you can only vote for them.

Makes me wonder. Is it fully possible to gather a jury who is 110 % neutral ?

He shall not be found guilty by a bunch of anti-Trump.

The outcome of a trial depends on how good the defense lawyer is. But it wouldn’t matter if the jury or judge found him not guilty. A certain party voter base would in unison behave exactly like Trump would. Declare the trial a sham, the jury was rigged and is he still guilty.

You can't begin to imagine how sick of American politics I am.

The last time that I actually liked a candidate and thought they'd do a decent job and keep the people's interests and well-being in mind, they were handing out free, "I like Ike" buttons.

Then they claimed it was fiction.

Then the actual indictment came out and it was an exact copy.

Then they published the grand jury members names.

Now that the jurors names are public I reckon the jury is now the “low hanging fruit” Democrats will go after if they don’t find Trump guilty. :har:

White House Assures Americans We're Not A Banana Republic, We're A Democratic Banana Republic

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to public outcry that America has descended to the level of a banana republic, the Biden administration assured the American people that the United States is a democratic banana republic.

"These wild statements need to stop," said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "Any assertion that this country has turned into a banana republic is completely off base. We are a democratic banana republic, in which the people have the illusion of being able to elect leaders who completely wreck everything. It's an important distinction."

The Biden administration released a forceful statement declaring that their prosecution of political opponents was being performed in a very democratic fashion. "Yes, we jail political opponents just like in a banana republic - but the prosecutors are appointed by elected officials. It's all very democratic," explained the White House. "Our economic, political, military and moral decline has all been overseen by representatives chosen by a cabal of wealthy elites - but elites who also won elections that citizens could participate in. Those are the facts our critics do not want to admit."

President Biden has reportedly brushed off all mention of "banana republic" criticisms. "People keep saying we're a ‘banana republic,'" he said when questioned by the media. "I've never agreed with that. If we are a banana republic, where are the banana trees? Pure malarkey. A taco republic, or maybe a hamburger republic, you could talk me into."

At publishing time, the White House continued to deny allegations that the country has fallen to the level of a banana republic and threatened to jail anyone who claimed otherwise.
