Building momentum. A couple weeks ago, it was only 10.

When it comes to the "press", it's 2016 all over again. That's all you should need to know.

It's nothin'until the polls show Biden UP by 218%.

Remember: The escalator ride was the first day of Trump's failed presidency.

Are we stuck with these law breaking, America haters untill they can be voted out? Because there certainly needs to be a means for the people to rectify our own Government Officials as our enemy. Got any ideas?

You have no say in who I elected to represent my interests here in Utah just like I have no right to demand a representative in San Francisco be thrown out of office willy nilly because his politics differ from mine. I mean seriously, what are you saying, man?

I think he is right that we should fire at least a lot of Congress. To the best of my knowledge, there are two ways that can happen: a) The constituents of each of the problem, congress critters can come to their senses and replace them with someone better, or b) The constituents of the problem congress critters can get really pissed and recall and replace them ahead of schedule. The problem is that a majority of those of their constituents who vote have to agree that they are a problem. The Lame Stream Media is not helping us at all with that education...

ETA: We should cure cancer too, but I’m not holding my breath for that either.

Democrats worry as Trump unleashes money on 2020 digital ads
By BRIAN SLODYSKO

AP > https://www.apnews.com/e5ebdd6...4571865a100c6362aadb

"WASHINGTON (AP) — While Democrats wage a wide open primary , President Donald Trump is blanketing battleground states with online advertising that could help set the narrative heading into the 2020 campaign.

The blitz of ads run recently in states including Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania alarms some Democrats. They’re worried by the more than $10 million Trump and his allies have already spent on digital advertising, a drop compared with the $1 billion his campaign could spend by Election Day.

For now, the ads are going largely unanswered as Democrats focus on their primary that’s just getting into full swing. But Trump’s early head start combined with his massive fundraising operation has stirred concern that it could be difficult for the eventual nominee to catch up.

“The real concern here is that Trump is able to have unchallenged positions when it comes to issues that a lot of voters care about,” said Tara McGowan, the founder and CEO of ACRONYM, a progressive group that specializes in digital campaigns. “We are going to see outside (Democratic) groups start to spend with offensive and defensive messages, but I worry that it’s still not going to be enough to compete with the infrastructure the right has.”

And so it will be right down to the wire in 2020: phony polls, fake news, lies, suppressed stories, a steady stream of hatred. This is "the press" in America. Whatever you hear from them, you can be sure of only one thing: it's probably false.

Democrat Senator tiring of Democratic lack of action....... if this is repeated by others, a flipping of senate [and hopefully House] seats could result......

Manchin eyes Senate exit
BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 06/13/19 06:00 AM EDT

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is eyeing a possible exit from the Senate, and his decision could be a significant factor in which party controls the majority in 2021.

" But Manchin says he’s deeply irritated with the lack of bipartisan cooperation on Capitol Hill, where passing bills has largely become an afterthought in the 116th Congress.

Manchin noted supporters in West Virginia are pressing him to run for governor next year, and he’s considering it.

“I have people back home that want me to come back and run for governor. We’re looking at all the different plays. I want to make sure whatever time I have left in public service is productive,” he told The Hill.

Asked if he’s happy with how productive he is in the Senate, Manchin replied, “Not at all.”

It was two tankers that were allegedly attacked.

Not one, but two tankers, hit minutes apart.

Federal office of the special counsel recommends top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway be "removed from federal service" over alleged Hatch Act violations.

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...hatch-act-violations

The Office of Special Counsel revealed Thursday that Kellyanne Conway violated the Hatch Act on “numerous occasions,” and recommended that she be removed from federal service.

The OSC in a report released Thursday said that Conway, who serves as counselor to President Trump, violated the Hatch Act by “disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media.

“Ms. Conway’s violations, if left unpunished, would send a message to all federal employees that they need not abide by the Hatch Act’s restrictions. Her actions thus erode the principal foundation of our democratic system—the rule of law,” the OSC said in a statement Thursday, noting that Conway has been a “repeat offender.”

The Hatch Act is a federal law that limits certain political activities of federal employees. The law’s purpose is to ensure federal programs are “administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation,” according to the OSC. The office is an independent federal agency that monitors compliance with that law and others. The White House on Thursday blasted the OSC ruling as “unprecedented.”

“The Office of Special Counsel’s (OSC) unprecedented actions against Kellyanne Conway are deeply flawed and violate her constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Others, of all political views, have objected to the OSC’s unclear and unevenly applied rules which have a chilling effect on free speech for all federal employees,” special assistant to the president and deputy press secretary Steven Groves said in a statement to Fox News Thursday.

“Its decisions seem to be influenced by media pressure and liberal organizations – and perhaps OSC should be mindful of its own mandate to act in a fair, impartial, non-political manner, and not misinterpret or weaponize the Hatch Act.”

Thank you for your recommendation. NOW F*&K OFF!!!

Oh FFS.

I can't stand Kellyanne Conway, but her job is to be a partisan.

She's not exactly an Army PFC spouting off on CNN.

And regarding the torpedoed tankers, the John Bolton in me really wishes those would have been US flagged vessels.

That is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever seen. They just want to shut her up, plain and simple.

Where were they when Obama's people were running their damn mouths even more so than she ever did?

Crickets...

I don't think Kellyanne is going anywhere

she's doing what she's being asked to do and if it pisses off libtards, then I'm all for it

exactly how can you describe a democrat these days without being 'disparaging'?

its an apt description and she's calling them what they are

Nope, she's not going anywhere.

The Dems are scared of her, plain and simple.

Of course she's not going anywhere. This Hatch Act charge is absurd.

I thought Mueller said the Office of Special Council was being shuttered? How many special councils are there running around in D.C.?

WTF is the OSC and where were they while the 3 letter agencies were breaking the law? Why am I spending money on these retards?

This has nothing to do with Mueller and his band of partisans. This is some other Special Council.

They have to have a council to oversee the council, etc,etc., all @ taxpayer expense.
