Bloomberg, who is a longtime friend of Trump’s, who believes almost all the same things he does, is being encouraged by the DNC and legacy media to do everything he can to buy this election.
Trump will talk about how “Little Mike” doesn’t think you should have soda or cigarettes and he will win 48 states. But, as the saying goes, “liberals hate socialists more than fascists.”

The commentary at the link presents an interesting perspective on current events. Just think for a moment where we are today compared to where we were in 2016:
Continue reading “ZeroHedge: ‘CoupGate’ – A Localized Civil War Is Now Underway In The DoJ”In a bipartisan vote of 10 to 5, HB961 was passed by for the year, and considering that 2021 is an election year for the House and Statewide offices, that is as dead as it can get.
It can best be thought of as a mercy killing, as with all the amendments added to an already obtuse bill, no one, including the Patron, could really say what it banned or who was exempt. It was a bad idea, badly executed, and mercifully put to rest.

Several of the Trump loyalists around here have been drooling with excitement over the prospect of seeing their chants of “Lock Them Up” fulfilled on the public servants trying to protect us from Russian “ratfucking.” After two years of dangling the Andrew McCabe case in front of them on Fox News, the DOJ is dropping it.
The behavior of the Trump DOJ is particularly egregious and political in this case because a Grand Jury – whose standard for indictment is only probable cause – rejected the DOJ “case” in September of 2019. It seems nobody had the guts to tell the President that his claims of criminal behavior by Andrew McCabe were bullshit. For more than a year.
Maybe Tabor will suggest the government should pay McCabe’s legal costs? I won’t hold my breath.

The absolute and complete hypocrisy of the GOP and it’s Congressional Leader, Magic Mitch McConnell, on full display. In 2016, it was let the people decide. In 2020, it is HE will decide.
He tries to cover it up by claiming some 19th century excuse, but it is still hypocrisy, writ large.
