Deranged Rhino Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 8 hours ago, ALF said: James Comey urges voters to choose Democrats, warns that 'history has its eyes on us' Former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday said “history has its eyes on us” and encouraged Americans to vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump in May 2017, issued a tweet urging Americans to snub Republicans this November. “This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that ‘Ambition must … counteract ambition,’” tweeted the former FBI director, a longtime supporter of Republicans. “All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall. History has its eyes on us.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/07/18/james-comey-urges-voters-to-choose-democrats-warns-that-history-has-its-eyes-on-us.html Lordy, Lordy , another walks away He quotes Hamilton (the play, not the man because Comey is that guy), but completely fumbles the meaning of Federalist Paper 51. https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=10&page=transcript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republican National Committee fundraising is fiery hot: the RNC has now raised $213 million for the 2017-2018 election cycle, at least $100 million more than the Democratic National Committee raised during the same time period. The RNC raised $13.9 million in June, a record for June in a non-presidential year, as The Washington Free Beacon reports. In addition, the RNC has no debt and $50.7 million cash on hand, quintupling the cash on hand held by the DNC. The DNC didn't do as well apparently. Now, that does not mean individuals in specific races are not doing well with fundraising And of course, it could also mean that the D money is being very targeted. Still, it does not look like people are eager to simply generically support the DNC socialist platform. #BLUEWAVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is historically especially in the House and Senate in the midterms. 94% of the House races and 82% of the Senate races were won by the candidate that spent the most money in the last midterms. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/money-pretty-good-predictor-will-win-elections As for the last presidential election, the idiots on the cable news channels gave Trump an estimated 5 billion dollars worth of free air time. I find it hilarious that CNN and MSNBC don't hold his rallies live anymore. They gave Hillary around 3.2 billion in free air time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This dude needs to walk away 8. HANDS-ON 3 hours ago Macron Adviser ‘Put On Riot Gear and Attacked Anti-Government Protesters’ One of French President Emmanuel Macron’s senior aides is at the center of a bizarre scandal in Paris, where he’s accused of donning police riot gear and personally attacking anti-government protesters. Alexandre Benalla, an assistant to Macron’s chief of staff, was filmed targeting a woman and a man during May Day protests against Macron’s employment reforms—he was identified by leading French newspaper Le Monde. In the video, Benalla is seen grabbing a woman by the neck and charging her down the street, then hitting a young male protester in the head and apparently stamping on his stomach. It is not clear if Benalla was attending the protests in any kind of official capacity—he was filmed wearing an official police visor but he was not in uniform. Benalla has been suspended for two weeks without pay and has been moved out of his role of organizing security for the president’s visits. The Paris prosecutor’s office announced Thursday it was opening preliminary investigation into the allegations. ????

More broadly, when the left is shaming Republicans into not admitting they're Republicans, they're introducing an inherent inaccuracy into polls by making it less likely Republicans will respond honestly...or at all. The left thinks they're "winning" by silencing the right, and use polls as proof...when they're simply introducing bias in to the polls. Probably not much, maybe a 1% skew. But that 1% is the difference between "Hillary polling well" and "Hillary winning." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Trump's racist judicial nominee is forced to walk away Quote In an extraordinarily rare move on Thursday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) withdrew a circuit court judge nomination after Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) indicated that he would not vote for the nominee, causing other Republican senators to follow suit. According to a GOP source familiar with the matter, Scott, the only black Republican senator, raised concerns to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about Ryan Bounds’ college writings which allegedly included racially charged comments and other controversial statements. Rubio, the source said, pledged to vote against Bounds alongside Scott, and “more Republicans [were] heading to ‘no’” on the nomination as a result. McConnell then withdrew the nomination—but not before huddling with his top deputy, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX), in his office off the Senate floor. The saga unfolded just minutes before the scheduled 1:45 p.m. vote. By 2:30 p.m., it was over. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-sen-tim-scott-tanks-trump-nominee-over-past-racist-remarks?ref=home 3 hours ago, reddogblitz said: There certainly was last November.
