So, right wingers have a new bogus attack against President Biden. What else is new, right? 

You know it's total propaganda when far right wing "Twitter influencers", the right wing media, and MAGA Republicans all parrot the same phony scripted talking points. That's called the right wing echo chamber. 

Their new ridiculous and bogus attack is feigned outrage because President Biden tapped into the Strategic Oil Reserves to lower gas prices for American consumers. They are accusing the president of depleting the reserves. But that's what happens during a time of an emergency. That's what the reserves are for.

Plus, it's their own fault that President Biden had to tap into the reserves in order to lower gas prices in the first place.

Back in May, Democrats wrote a bill that President Biden proposed to go after the Big Oil companies who were purposely gouging American consumers with their artificially inflated gas prices for profit.         

The bill was brought to the House floor for a vote...and guess what happened?

Well, if you guessed that EVERY single House Republican voted against the "Big Oil and Gas Price Gouging Bill" you win the Big Prize.   

Here is the final House vote below.




So, as you can see EVERY single House Republican voted against lowering gas prices for Americans by voting against this important bill.

To make matters worse, Senate Republicans blocked this bill from becoming law. They wanted gas prices to remain high because they believed that high gas prices would help them politically in November.

All the phony outrage Republicans were displaying for gas prices was nothing but political theatre.

House Republicans and Senate Republicans had the opportunity to do something about high gas prices by voting for a bill that lowered gas prices.

But what did they do instead? EVERY single House Republican voted 'NO" on the bill and Senate Republicans blocked the bill from being voted on.

So, from their actions, Republicans didn't care to lower gas prices at all when they could have. Instead, they falsely attacked President Biden for political theatre. That's why these Republicans are nothing but frauds. They have no solutions or intentions to fix problems that arise. All they want to do is obstruct so things get worse which gives them a talking point to attack Democrats with.       

After Republicans refused to lower gas prices for Americans, President Biden had no choice but to tap into the Strategic Oil Reserves to bring down the costs of gasoline.

And guess what? President Biden's swift action worked because gas prices are at their lowest level since Putin started his illegal war in Ukraine which also drove up prices.

The fact that gas prices are lowered, angers these right wingers so they now need a new line to attack Biden with, so they attack him for tapping into the Strategic Oil Reserves.

These right wingers are really pathetic and a bunch of frauds. They couldn't have cared less that gas used to be high or anything about the oil reserves. They just need to find something to attack Biden for to push their political propaganda.         

They whined about high gas prices but voted against lowering gas prices for Americans.

They are now whining about tapping into the Strategic Oil Reserves all because they voted against lowering gas prices. 

So, you can see that Republicans create nothing but problems.       

No matter what President Biden does to help Americans, the radical right will find some bogus propaganda talking point to attack him with.

And if these radical MAGA Republicans are "angry" over the Strategic Oil Reserves being used, then they can blame themselves for voting against a bill that would have lowered gas prices instead of having to use the reserves to lower gas prices.

That's why Republicans are nothing but propaganda frauds. No solutions. Only phony talking points to attack and whine.

Trump-loving GOP candidates flopping hard in Midwest governor races: 'They’re unelectable'



A trio of Donald Trump-backing gubernatorial candidates are flopping in their campaigns after winning their Republican primaries.

The GOP candidates in three Midwestern battleground states -- Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin -- are failing to attract voters or donations and running flimsy campaign operations to the dismay of fellow Republicans in the weeks ahead of November's election, and the blame is falling on the former president, reported The Daily Beast.

“This is part of the Trump legacy,” said longtime GOP strategist Doug Heye. “Candidates who otherwise would be considered fringe candidates can win nominations and hold Republicans back, because they’re unelectable in their state.”

Both Michigan and Wisconsin had crowded and competitive GOP primaries, but voters backed former actress and MAGA media personality Tudor Dixon in Michigan and businessman Tim Michels in Wisconsin after Trump endorsed them, but neither has raised or spent much money on their general election campaigns.

“Despite Michels having unlimited financial resources, he’s still not putting it away the way he could be,” said one GOP operative who has run races in Wisconsin. “I don’t see anything right now that would fundamentally shift the dynamic unless there’s another Black Swan economic report coming out.”

Former Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP in 2019 and did not run for re-election the following year, said he's "hardly noticed" there's a campaign for governor in Michigan, and what little attention Dixon has generated has been for oddball declarations like vowing to ban "pornographic books" from schools without specifics.

“[She's] running the sh***iest campaign since the dawn of time," said Jeff Timmer, former executive director of the Michigan GOP.

“She’s running an aggressive and low-budget campaign for school board, but she happens to be running for governor,” Timmer added. “It’s hard to understate how unlike any other statewide campaign — Republican or Democratic — it is. There’s just nothing to compare it to.”

Republicans have all but conceded COVID-skeptic doctor Scott Jensen will lose his race to unseat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and none of the three struggling candidates can count on the Republican Governors’ Association to bail them out this late in the game.

“When you typically realize you have a problem,” Heye said, “it’s too late.”

‘Most significant criminal exposure Trump has ever faced’: expert breaks down the legal liabilities



Donald Trump is likely to lose his secret court battle to prevent a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. from obtaining evidence related to the unsuccessful effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, according to an analysis that aired Friday on CNN.

CNN reported, "Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys are fighting a secret court battle to block a federal grand jury from gathering information from an expanding circle of close Trump aides about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, people briefed on the matter told CNN. The high-stakes legal dispute – which included the appearance of three attorneys representing Trump at the Washington, DC, federal courthouse on Thursday afternoon – is the most aggressive step taken by the former President to assert executive and attorney-client privileges in order to prevent some witnesses from sharing information in the criminal investigation events surrounding January 6, 2021."

For analysis, CNN's Wolf Blitzer interviewed Ambassador Norm Eisen, who served as White House ethics czar in the Obama administration and currently chairs the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

"Wolf, it's a continuation of Donald Trump's use of executive privilege, attorney-client privilege, to try to block investigations," Eisen said.

"It failed in Trump vs. Thompson with the Jan. 6 committee, it just failed in the 11th Circuit with the classified documents, DOJ's investigation turned back on," he explained. "He's got a very steep hill to climb."

"As you know, these are the issues I was responsible for when I worked in the Obama White House," he noted. "Executive privilege, since U.S. vs. Nixon, must yield when there are compelling criminal circumstances. Here a judge has already found likely criminality as to Trump, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of Congress. So he's going to have a tough, tough path in this instance."

Eisen explained, "it's very significant to protect our country and, of course, because this may be the most serious criminal exposure Donald Trump has ever faced."

Trump kids only path to settling with AG Letitia James would require 'implicating' their father: legal expert

According to MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin, there is really only one path for Donald Trump's kids to get out from under charges from New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding real estate fraud, but that would require flipping on their father.

Earlier in the week, James presented a 200-page lawsuit seeking $250 million in penalties against Donald Trump, his three kids, Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka for egregiously inflating the value of properties owned by the Trump Organization.

According to Rubin, there is an outside chance Trump could broach a settlement with James -- and she might welcome it and call it a victory -- but it would be difficult for the Trump kids to seek their own deals without dragging their father down in the process.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Rubin said it could happen but it would be difficult.

"How about this scenario, Lisa," Witt proposed. "Let's say Donald Trump wanted to fight it, could his kids take a different path? Could they settle on their own? "

"They certainly could," Rubin replied. " But some of the same patterns that we see with the children are all mixed up in misrepresentations by the former president."

"So for example, Alex, there are statements of financial conditions that are certified by the former president, and one of the children might attach that statement of financial condition to an application for a loan," she elaborated. "It's hard to see how certain of the adult children at least could accept responsibility and settle with Tish James without implicating their father."

Trump’s embrace of QAnon raising concerns about future political violence

Mike Rothschild, author of "The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything," joined Amna Nawaz to discuss.

Cash-poor Trump may have to dump his skyscrapers at 'fire sale' prices if he loses NY fraud lawsuit: biographer



Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump biographer and senior executive editor of Bloomberg Opinion, Tim O'Brien, claimed that, should the former president go head-to-head with New York Attorney General Letitia O'Brien and lose the $250 million lawsuit she has filed against him, he will likely have to liquidate his properties --and at fire sale prices.

Speaking with MSNBC host Alex Witt, O'Brien suggested that Trump's worth is wrapped up in his real estate portfolio and he doesn't have access to enough cash to pay penalties and fines if he loses his court battle.

"You say that James' suit won't land the Trumps in prison, only criminal convictions could do that," host Witt prompted. "It seeks to bar the Trumps from running a business in New York state and might unravel the Trump organization. You just heard [former Trump lawyer] Michael Cohen say it could actually wipe Trump out. Is that the way you see it?"

"Well, I think it depends on the extent of damage that the case inflicts and her prosecution inflicts on the Trump family and their businesses," he replied. "Michael is completely right that he has never had a lot of cash on hand, he's almost a debt addict, he has always heavily mortgaged the properties he owns."

"Most of his wealth is tied up in a handful of skyscrapers in New York City," he continued. "Tish James is seeking to bar him from doing business in the state of New York, so he'll have to unload those if he gets convicted. And that is a fire sale, which means everyone who's a buyer will know they won't have to pay top dollar because he needs to get out of the property."

"She has made to two criminal referrals out of this case, one to the IRS and one to the US Attorneys' office in the Southern District [of New York]," he elaborated. "So that is now hanging over his head. I think the family's legacy is in New York, everything that Donald Trump stands on was built by Trump in New York. Trump has put those holdings in peril twice, the first time in the early 90's when he gorged on debt and couldn't repay the banks and again now when he has gotten on the wrong side of the law."

"I think this is an existential threat to his business and his financial well-being," he added.

Judges aren't buying any of Trump's 'MAGA make-believe' as his attorneys struggle: legal expert

According to former FBI official Peter Strzok, Donald Trump continues to put his attorneys in a bad place every time they face a judge and have to explain claims he keeps making to his rabid followers.

Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, Strzok told host Yasmin Vossoughian that the judges are not buying Trump's "MAGA make-believe," stories and his legal team has no way of defending him without perjuring themselves.

'What defenses do you see of the former president's team floating here?" the host asked him.

"I don't think they have many," Strzok said as he smiled. "At the end of the day this is always been from Trump's side, sort of a publicity stunt, something to fund-raise off of, something he could take to his base and continue the narrative that somehow he has been wrongly investigated, and the deep state is going after him and that he can use this to engender more support for this nonsense tale that he is trying to get away from any accountability for any potential criminal acts he engaged in."

"At the end of the day, what's refreshing is that all this nonsense in this land of MAGA make-believe hits the judicial system of the United States it crumbles immediately," he added as he laughed. "That's what you have seen from Judge [Raymond] Dearie, the special master laying out an aggressive timeline saying 'We have heard you make the statements that you declassified them, we heard you make statements that evidence has been planted. Fine, by Friday, give details of exactly what you mean by that, and not only that but by next month, by mid-October, to have a complete review of a privilege log for anything you claim as executive privilege, client-attorney privilege.'"

"I don't see any argument that Trump can make, and more importantly, any argument that attorneys representing Trump are going to be willing to put their name on the line for something that isn't supported by the law, that isn't supported by fact, and that might get them into a lot of trouble ethically and with their bar memberships," he added.

He then predicted, "I don't expect to see much of anything of substance coming from Trump and his attorneys this week."
