Judge blocks DOJ motion to withdraw legal team on census case

"The federal judge overseeing the census case in the Southern District of New York has blocked the government's motion to withdraw its team of lawyers who had been working on the case previously".

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/judge-blocks-doj-motion-withdraw-legal-team-census/story?id=64228596

Lying to federal judges have consequences. But go ahead, Donald. Issue that executive order. Let’s find out where exactly Chief Justice Roberts patience ends with you!

The supreme court has already ruled. Barr's real argument is "we didn't get our way". That's why the DOJ didn't provide any real justification for it. When you appeal a decision back up to the supreme court that has already failed your argument should be stronger the next time around. Crocodile tears isn't a legal argument Barr.

What does Justin Amash's GOP defection mean?

"On July 4, Rep. Justin Amash announced he was leaving the Republican Party to run for reelection as an independent. In an op-ed on his decision, the Michigan congressman decried the two-party system as an "existential threat" to American principles, saying "modern politics is trapped in a partisan death spiral."

Amash has repeatedly argued that President Trump's conduct is grounds for impeachment, something no other prominent Republican has done. Amash said high-level members of the party have privately thanked him for his stance. Trump responded to Amash's announcement by calling him one of the "dumbest & most disloyal" members of Congress.

Top 10 Donors to the Trump Campaign (FB, WWE)


"Donald Trump doesn't want to be seen as anyone's puppet. Unlike his rival Hillary Clinton, he has disavowed super PACs, the fundraising organizations that attract millions in donations from wealthy supporters.The Republican candidate, who has put in $8 million of his own money and guaranteed loans worth $47 million to fund his campaign, has argued that he can't be controlled by special interests this way. But that didn't stop supporters from donating millions to pro-Trump super PACs this last quarter. (See also, Top 10 Contributors to the Clinton Campaign) "

U.S. Justice Department trying to quash Mueller team testimony -report

"WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - The Justice Department is trying to prevent two former members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team from testifying behind closed doors as Mueller prepares to make a public appearance before lawmakers next week, the New York Times reported on Wednesday".

http://www.yahoo.com/news/u-justice-department-trying-quash-123519904.html

"Mueller issued a report in April that found Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and that Republican President Donald Trump’s campaign team had had multiple contacts with Russian officials.
But the report found insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Moscow. Show me where in here do you read "no collusion"?

So Did we go from Trump trying to obstruct the Mueller investigation to OUR DOJ trying to obstruct Congress?

Here he goes again. Let's poke the sleeping bear just a little bit more. This is another one of those things that wouldn't be going on if Trump wasn't in the office.



UPDATE 1-Trump: sanctions on Iran 'will soon be increased, substantially'

"WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump accused Iran on Wednesday of secretly enriching uranium for a long time and warned that U.S. sanctions will be increased soon, as the U.N. nuclear watchdog held an emergency meeting on Tehran's breach of a nuclear deal".

This is another one of those "small" things that show just badly the general public wants Trump gone.


Trump takes to Twitter to support Home Depot: 'Fight for Bernie Marcus and Home Depot!'

"President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday night in support of Home Depot after social media calls to boycott the home improvement retailer.

Shoppers have been taking to Twitter and other social media platforms to call for the boycott following news that co-founder Bernie Marcus plans to back Trump's re-election bid".

Fox News Cuts Into Trump Speech To Deliver A Brutal Real-Time Fact Check

"President Donald Trump’s favorite news network not only cut into his speech on Monday, but it also fact-checked him on live television.

Trump on Monday attempted to tout his administration’s environmental record, but Fox News host Shepard Smith interrupted to say those policies have been “widely criticized by environmentalists and academics.”

The Fox News host cited a New York Times report that found that more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed and/or rolled back, including multiple regulations regarding drilling, air pollution, and wildlife.

Then Smith listed some of them".

Trump to issue new executive order on healthcare and organ transplant;

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/trump-to-order-overhaul-of-organ-transplant-and-kidney-dialysis-systems/ar-AAE5dCo?li=BBnbfcL


From the link you posted.

"President Trump will order a broad overhaul of the nation’s organ transplant and kidney dialysis systems Wednesday in an executive order designed to prolong lives and save the government billions of dollars, according to people familiar with the plan.

Trump will outline proposals to keep people with kidney disease off dialysis longer and make treatment less expensive; encourage more live donation of kidneys and livers, and force the 58 nonprofits that collect transplant organs to improve their performance, people briefed on the plan said. He also will try to reduce discards of less-than-perfect organs by transplant surgeons".

In other words, Let more people die so Medicare/Medicaid doesn't have to pay for these sick people while they wait for a kidney donor. This is something I'm very familiar with. When someone needs dialysis, They need it. NOW. They can't wait. Waiting means dying. Doing this is not going to increase the number of donors. It just means more people will die waiting. If a doctor gives a patient a less than perfect donor, What's the point in operating on the person? Why give them a kidney that may decide to quit working? Sounds like another dump Trump idea to me.

Please source your statement!

So if there are ways to slow down the disease and keep people from needing dialysis as soon, that is a bad thing?

As for using a less than perfect transplant organ, you would prefer to do without and resort to dialysis while waiting for a perfect kidney that may never arrive? There is an ongoing shortage of transplant organs so you have a way to grow replacements? At my age, I'm sure mine aren't perfect but they do seem to work and might give someone a chance for a better life. I guess better to throw them away than use an imperfect part!!

I did. It came straight from the link you posted. Words right out of Trump's mouth apparently. If a person has gotten to the point that they need dialysis, There is no slowing it down. If your kidneys have gotten to the point that they have dropped below a certain %, You need dialysis. They will not even put you on a machine until you reach that percentage. If Trump tries to change that percentage to an even lower number, A lot of people will die. If I remember right, once the kidneys hit around 20%, It's time for the machine. Too much fluid and poisons are starting to build up in the blood. Fluid and poisons that can kill you.

Dialysis

"You need dialysis when you develop end stage kidney failure --usually by the time you lose about 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function and have a GFR of <15.

Immigrants contribute most to these U.S. states

Here we go again. Once again Trump stands up for some slimeball. Most presidents with just a little common sense would be trying to distance himself from any part of this. Including the bigger slimeballs lawyer.


It may not be surprising if it turns out when everything is out in the open; that Trump might have played a role in using his friendship status and maybe his own involvement as well helped in getting the sweet deal for Epstein during his trial. Then as Trump assailed himself to the illegitimate presidential status, he rewarded Acosta by making him Labor Secretary. It is ironic that one who couldn’t fully and honestly prosecute crime involving children and prostitution, in other wards; child labor is overseeing labor laws in this country. This can only happen in Trumpland. We will find out how that man’s friendship with Trump will dig out more dirt about Trump’s affairs with women in his past activities. Exposures of everything will make it clear and sensible why Acosta has that job.

Trump ends fight to include the citizenship question on census and unveils new plan

"President Trump officially dropped his controversial bid to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census on Thursday. Instead, he announced at a Rose Garden ceremony that he was issuing an executive order that instructs federal agencies to report data to the Commerce Department in order to better tabulate the number of U.S. citizens".

http://news.yahoo.com/trump-ends-fight-to-include-citizenship-question-on-census-and-unveils-new-plan-232435216.html

Thomas Hofeller of North Carolina played a role in getting a citizenship question added to the 2020 Census. Hofeller helped facilitate the question after arguing in a 2015 study that getting a citizenship question on the Census would be an essential step toward being able to draw districts based only on the population of voting-age citizens, not the total population. Such a switch, Hofeller wrote, “would be advantageous to Republicans".

Busted: Evidence reveals effort to rig census for white Republicans

"Asked on Tuesday if he thought he would be impeached, President Trump replied, “I can’t imagine the courts allowing it.” It was a bizarrely ignorant thing to say, since the courts have no say whatsoever when it comes to impeachment "

Documents expose political motivation behind census citizenship question

"With the Supreme Court thought to be weeks away from ruling on whether a citizenship question can be included in the 2020 census, newly discovered documents suggest that the reason the Trump administration sought to add it in the first place was to provide political advantage to “Republicans and non-Hispanic Whites".

Sebastian Gorka at the center of Rose Garden ruckus following Trump event

"Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka accused a journalist of "threatening" him in the Rose Garden of the White House, moments after a President Donald Trump gave remarks on a controversial citizenship census question".

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/video/sebastian-gorka-gets-in-tiff-with-media-at-trump-event/vp-AAEc3uy

In a 2007 video, Gorka declared his support for the Magyar Gárda (Hungarian Guard), a paramilitary group described by various sources as neo-fascist and anti-Semitic.

In 2017 Gorka appeared on Fox News on the evening of the U.S. presidential inauguration wearing a badge, tunic, and ring of the Order of Vitéz. This has given rise to claims that Gorka himself is a Nazi sympathizer.

The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, the National Jewish Democratic Council, and the Interfaith Alliance have called for Gorka's resignation over his ties to Hungarian far-right groups.

There's no doubt in my mind that I should have millions and millions — I have millions of people, so many people I wouldn't believe it, but I know that we’ve been blocked,” Trump said. Ladies and Gentlemen here is your President of the United States.

So, only news media that provides a Trump positive message will be allowed access to Trump going forward? Is this where the 1st Amendment becomes obsolete? We will only get news from a Trump sanctioned outlet? The founding fathers would be deeply concerned if they saw where our country is heading under Trump.

"Attorney General William Barr has consulted with Justice Department ethics officials and will not recuse himself from overseeing the case of billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein by federal prosecutors in New York.

That’s according to a Justice Department official who spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday. The official could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

But the official says Barr is recused from any review of a 2008 plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges in Florida. That’s because Barr’s former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, had previously represented Epstein".

Interesting, as soon as the Epstein story broke Bill Clinton immediately published a statement that he had never ridden on Epstein's jet. Yet the pilots log shows he had been a passenger 26 times.

Epstein will make Harvey Weinstein seem like a boy scout.

The hammer could be ready to fall on the rich, famous and politically powerful. Even Nancy Pelosi's daughter indicated this may happen (democrat or republican).

Have some extra popcorn: anyone want some?

-----------------

Oh, Donald Trump's name never showed up on the pilots log. Epstein had frequented Trumps Florida facility but when he found out Epstein had attempted to pick up a members teenage daughter he banned him from the facility. The Florida prosecuting attorney stated that Donald Trump was very helpful in the initial investigation.

I add this because some in the media are trying to connect the President with Epstein. Like all of the other mud slinging no actual facts or proof exists.

Maybe you should look a little closer. A picture is better than a thousand words. Either way, nobody really knows anything about this. That much is true. But, We've already seen the likes of the slime Trump calls friends.(Sebastian Gorka comes to mind.) Some of them are in jail right now. With what we've already seen out of Trump. How he lies at the drop of a hat. It's not a far stretch to believe he could have some connection, more than we know right now to this pedo. It remains to be seen.

Jeffrey Epstein Was a ‘Terrific Guy,’ Donald Trump Once Said. Now He’s ‘Not a Fan.’

"WASHINGTON — It was supposed to be an exclusive party at Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump’s members-only club in Palm Beach, Fla. But other than the two dozen or so women flown in to provide the entertainment, the only guests were Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein".

How Exactly Is Alleged Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Connected to President Trump?

"On Saturday, billionaire hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for alleged sex trafficking underage girls in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005. The Daily Beast first reported the new charges against Epstein, and according to the New York Times, the charges against Epstein carry a combined maximum sentence of up to 45 years in prison. But this isn't the first time Epstein has been faced with such accusations and, what's more, the entire scandal has numerous ties to one particular leader of the free world: President Donald Trump. Below, what you need to know about Epstein's alleged crimes and how they tie back to the current President of the United States".

Dems, GOP trade blame over migrant conditions at border

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats who’ve visited the southern border accused President Donald Trump of cruelty on Friday while Republicans said Democrats were playing politics but doing little to help as the parties clashed at a House hearing over who’s to blame for squalid conditions facing migrants detained entering the U.S".

http://www.apnews.com/211e647eb3b94ccca7eaadbf3ef0a64c

Trump is just as responsible for this than anyone. He took a bad situation and made it worse with his policies. As president, if you can't make a bad situation better, it's best to leave it alone and not make it worse. But between Trump and his racism and "knee jerk" reactions to things, we now have an even bigger problem. Even more, expense for the taxpayer to have to bare.

Vice President Pence to visit border amid outcry over conditions at migrant detention centers

"WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence will travel to the southern border Friday, the same day House Democrats are holding a hearing on dangerous conditions at overcrowded migrant detention centers.

Pence said he will be accompanied by his wife and a bipartisan delegation of members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "

Alexander Acosta Out As Labor Secretary Over Cushy Jeffrey Epstein Plea Deal

"Alexander Acosta is out as labor secretary, President Donald Trump told reporters Friday.

His resignation followed a wave of new information about the alleged crimes of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, for whom Acosta helped broker a sweetheart plea deal more than a decade ago".

http://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/12/us/politics/acosta-resigns-trump.html

"Trump nominated Acosta for labor secretary after businessman Andrew Puzder withdrew from consideration amid accusations that he abused his ex-wife during their marriage. The president also floated the idea that Acosta might replace former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions."

What is it with this president and his support for child abusers and domestic abusers?

Least qualified, least ethical, least transparent, least law-abiding and least competent administration in history. Lead by a womanizing, draft dodging building contractor. Miraculously, elected during an ongoing 11+ year economic recovery and relative global peace. In other words, 100% the opposite conditions Bush handed over to Obama.

Thank God for the Democrats on this one. Someone needed to tie his hands before he gets WW3 started.

Trump attorney tells appeals panel Congress has little power to investigate president

"An attorney for President Donald Trump argued before a three-judge federal appeals court panel on Friday that Trump's accounting firm, Mazars USA, should not have to hand over 10 years’ worth of Trump's financial records to House Democrats.

Trump's lawyer told the court in Washington, D.C., that the Democratic-controlled House Oversight Committee, which has issued a subpoena for the records, does not have the constitutional authority to do so and has no legitimate legislative purpose requesting them".

Congress can investigate the President for any reason it wants. How do you think Congress gets to impeachment? by investigating. Last, the President is not immune.

Aren’t Trump loyalists the LEAST CURIOUS about WHY he won’t release them?

And as usual, Trump doesn't know his azz from a hole in the ground. Once again making a fool of himself. I wonder if Trump will try to say Pence is fake in what he saw and smelled? Will he try to tell Pence he doesn't know what dirty bodies and shyt smell like?
