Republican turmoil from Donald Trump has reached a whole new level of frustration in the Senate: report

Sarah K. Burris

Axios reported Sunday that the frustration among Senate Republicans reached a whole new level of turmoil this week after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told members they could leave for the August Recess without passing a new coronavirus stimulus bill.

“Multiple GOP Hill aides involved in the stimulus negotiations tell me they feel Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows have undermined the legislative process,” said the report.

For example, the White House zeroed out funding for testing and wanted to funnel it into paying for a new FBI headquarters.

Mnuchin is under fire because he has been willing to deal with House Democrats, while Republicans in the Senate refuse to do so.

“He’s also been given vast powers under the CARES Act on how the implementation is done,” the report said, citing a GOP staffer.

“He can make a lot of decisions unilaterally, and that has added to the skepticism on the Hill,” the staffer said.

Democrats passed a bill in May and have been calling on the GOP-led Senate to pass the bill before the unemployment payments ran out and evictions and foreclosures got too serious. July was the third month in a row where over 30 percent of Americans weren’t able to pay their rent or mortgages on time or at all. Some are suggesting a serious housing crisis is on the horizon if Washington does nothing.

“Republican leaders privately admit that if negotiations are a failure, the White House and Republicans will take the political hit since they’re running the show,” said Axios.

Trump says veterans’ ‘wall’ of protectors and ‘line of innocent mothers’ were ‘anarchists who hate our country’

Sarah K. Burris

President Donald Trump is desperately trying to win a “law and order” campaign, but to do so he has to paint Black Lives Matter protesters as a group of violent anti-American attackers. The video footage not only doesn’t support it, it’s working against him.

Over the weekend in Portland veterans from every branch of service lined up to protect Black Lives Matter protesters as Trump’s federal troops tear-gassed and beat protesters.


Trump responded to the news by attacking the veterans.

“The ‘protesters’ are actually anarchists who hate our Country (sic),” Trump tweeted Sunday. “The line of innocent ‘mothers’ were a scam that Lamestream refuses to acknowledge, just like they don’t report the violence of these demonstrations!”

America needs to ‘Trump-proof’ the presidency to avoid another disaster: conservative

Tom Boggioni

In his column for the Daily Beast, conservative and former Republican Matt Lewis explained that Donald Trump has been a complete disaster as a president and — had he been the least bit competent — things could have been way worse.

With that in mind, and after listing off a series of Trump’s destructive actions including plunging the country into a coronavirus health crisis that shows no signs of abating, Lewis said the president has exhibited all the signs of being an authoritarian but he’s too lazy to really seize control of the country.

And, because of that, he claimed America has “dodged a bullet.”

“Think about it: Trump possessed almost all the skills a would-be Mussolini might need. He had the demagogic appeal to a cult-like following, the strongman tendencies (see his personal affinity for dictators), the attacks on democratic norms (his refusal to clearly state that he will respect the election outcome), an unhealthy disregard for the Constitution (‘Article II allows me to do whatever I want’), and a visceral ability to undermine institutions that exist to hold him accountable (‘fake news,’ ‘enemies of the people,’ etc.),” he wrote.

However, he notes, the president’s “… ineptness and preference for short-term attention over long-term power have prevented him from fully exploiting his potential. As such, his presidency should serve as a sort of stress test for those of us who want to preserve liberal democracy for our children and grandchildren.”

More importantly, he notes, with the president likely to lose in November “bigly” Lewis warned that another candidate like Trump could come along and use this president’s rise to power as a blueprint and thing could turn out even worse.

Posing the question of how the country could strip some powers away from an “even more dangerous future Trump,” the conservative columnist had a few suggestions.

“Some ideas are simple, if not easy,” he wrote. “A few of my personal favorites include: Parties should consider ranked-choice voting for primaries to prevent fringe candidates with a plurality of support from taking over a party. We should change the law so that presidential candidates have to release their taxes. We should pass a constitutional amendment doing away with a president’s unilateral power to grant pardons (especially his power to pardon family, friends, and… himself). Pass a law stating explicitly that a sitting president can be prosecuted for certain crimes committed while seeking the presidency or serving as president.”

None of this will work, he cautioned, unless the “adults” in the room take the need for change seriously.

 “Ultimately, the American people get what they want, and if they want a strongman, that’s what they will eventually have. That’s why the real goal—a nearly impossible feat—is to educate the public about the importance of civics—to reinforce the importance of maintaining a free society, and to educate them on how fragile the American experiment is,” he wrote before darkly warning, “The danger doesn’t end if and when Trump leaves the White House. At best, we have bought ourselves some time.”

LOL.  That is basically an argument that democracy doesn't work.  The people are too "stupid" to elect who the establishment wants them to rule the country.  For over a century America has been governed by a ruling class of mostly do nothing establishment politicians who feel entitled to govern the unwashed masses.  They have been told what to do by their paymasters and lobbyists.  Any outsider is derided as dangerous.  There are no republicans and democrats.  Only establishment politicians.  Trump terrified them because he is an outsider.  He can actually exercise his own judgment instead of waiting for some wonk or lobbyist to instruct him on what to do.  It is Alice in Wonderland logic to suggest that Trump is the threat to democracy. There is no democracy in this country.  We are simply given a choice between establishment figure 1 or 2.  Biden is the classic example.  He has been in public office for nearly five decades and has not a single achievement.  Not one.  He is clearly suffering from confusion and dementia but the establishment wants to have another figure head in office.  They will let him know what the agenda is once he is elected.

[Richard Smith]

There are no Biden supporters only Trump haters.

So what? When there are more Trump haters than Trump supporters, that alone is reason enough to kick him out of office, regardless of who is running against him.

A vote for Biden ensures that Trump will not get re-elected. I would vote for a monkey to get that incompentent lying piece of s**t out of the White House before he destroys the entire country. Having said that, Biden managed to be Vice-President for 8 years without any kind of scandal. With Trump the next scandal is only 24 hours away.

And Trump is a "self admitted sexual predator"?  That's false

Not it isn't....  You just don't want to believe it.

The guy is a weirdo. 

Biden is harmless compared to Trump....

In which Roger agrees with me that there are no Biden supporters, only Trump haters.  In fact, he suggests he would vote for a monkey over Trump.  Hopefully that monkey doesn't push the button to launch a nuclear strike thinking it summons the nurse to change his adult diaper as Biden might given his obvious dementia issues.

Translation: The rape victim, "had it coming," because she showed too much cleavage and her pants were too tight?
An exposed sexual predator you support is literally raping world stability and you whine with a "hey, look over here," post that addresses nothing more than .... what? What facts can you offer? Who passed the National Labor Relations Act, Social Security, Medicare, ACA, the Consumer Finance Protection Board, the Voting Rights Act? It sure wasn't the political faction you embrace!

Not Trump's fault....the uppity negro in the White House had a sketchy birth certificate, and somebody had to be the one to lie about sending his investigators to Hawaii (oh man! what they're finding!) was the real problem?

IOW, unprecedented corruption in service exclusively to Putin and other strongmen and to the top one percent and racists of all levels of wealth, and open, gleeful sabotage of the rule of law, of public health admin., and environmental protection, in the course of lying 20,000 times, even abusing press coverage of the presidency to constantly emphasize substance-free conspiracy theories are the solutions to what you object to?

He can actually exercise his own judgment instead of waiting for some wonk or lobbyist to instruct him on what to do.

That’s the problem. His judgment sucks.

Another stupid argument. If it were true, Trump would never have become President to begin with.
