"By the time we get to 2020, Donald Trump may not even be president. In fact, he may not even be a free person," ~ Elizabeth Warren
Unlike the current 'so called' president, Elizabeth Warren is intelligent, highly educated, experienced, and very qualified for the position.

Elizabeth Ann Warren (née Herring; born June 22, 1949) is an American politician and academic serving as the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts since 2013. Warren was formerly a prominent scholar specializing in bankruptcy law. She is a 2020 United States Presidential candidate.
Warren was born and raised in a middle class family in Oklahoma. She is a graduate of the University of Houston and Rutgers Law School. Her career as an academic focused on bankruptcy law, where she focused primarily on empiric decision-making of the public following legal changes. Warren taught at several law schools, including the University of Houston, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University.
Warren's initial foray into public policy began in 1995 when she worked to oppose what eventually became a 2005 act restricting bankruptcy access for individuals. Her profile rose due to her forceful stances in favor of more stringent banking regulations following the 2007–2008 financial crisis. She served as chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel of the Troubled Asset Relief Program and was instrumental in the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, for which she served as the first Special Advisor.
Warren challenged and defeated Republican incumbent Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts in 2012. She was the keynote speaker of the 2016 Democratic National Convention and became Vice Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus the following year. A noted progressive leader, Warren has focused on consumer protection, economic opportunity, and the social safety net while in the Senate.

Harry Reid: Trump Is 'The Worst President We've Ever Had'
HuffPost Marina Fang, 13 hours ago
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spoke out about President Donald Trump:
“He’ll lie. He’ll cheat. You can’t reason with him.”
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not mince words about President Donald Trump, declaring him “without question the worst president we’ve ever had” in a rare interview published Wednesday, his first since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year.
“We’ve had some bad ones, and there’s not even a close second to him,” Reid told The New York Times Magazine’s Mark Leibovich. “He’ll lie. He’ll cheat. You can’t reason with him.”
Reid also questioned why former attorney general Jeff Sessions — his Senate colleague — and former White House chief of staff John Kelly did not leave Trump’s administration sooner.
“Why in the hell didn’t Sessions leave?” he said. “Same with Kelly,” referring to the departing chief of staff. “I’d say, ‘Go screw yourself.’ I could not look my children in the eye.”
Reid has not held back when it comes to Trump, repeatedly warning about him before retiring from the Senate in 2017.....

In response to: Mitt Romney on President Donald Trump: He hasn't 'risen to the mantle of the office'

Days away from joining the Senate’s Republican majority, Sen.-elect Mitt Romney broadly criticized President Donald Trump’s policies and character and argued that the president “has not risen to the mantle of the office.”
“With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable,” the Utah Republican and 2012 presidential nominee wrote in a Washington Post op-ed posted online Tuesday night. “And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring.”......

Katie...BARR, the door.
Three top Senior Justice Department officials, two who are senior prosecutors on Robert Mueller’ Special Counsel, met with Bruce Ohrin the summer of 2016. This meeting happened well before the FBI sought a FISA warrant on a Trump campaign official. Ohr informed the trio of DOJ officials about his close contact with former British Spy Christopher Steele, whose dossier was part of the evidence used to investigate the Trump campaign.
Further, Ohr warned the dossier was not vetted. The FBI, however, used as the bulk of evidence from the dossier to obtain a secret warrant to spy on short-term Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, according to a Congressional investigation.
Ohr, who was then the Associate Deputy Attorney General, told members of Congress during his closed-door testimony in August 2018 that he had informed senior officials that he was delivering information from Steele and Glenn Simpson, the founder of embattled research firm Fusion GPS.
Ohr’s testimony also had a stunning revelation that Andrew Weissmann, who was then head of the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud section and now Deputy Special Counsel for Robert Mueller, was also briefed by Ohr on his meetings with Steele. Those briefings took place during the summer of 2016, shortly after Ohr had met with Steele. The testimony, which has not yet been made public, was authenticated by sources from congressional testimony to SaraACarter.com.
Under intense questioning from former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, Ohr named the officials he had spoken to that summer.
“I spoke with some people in the Criminal Division, other career officials who dealt with some of these matters,” Ohr told Gowdy.
“Any names?” asked Gowdy.
“Yes,” said Ohr.
“So, I was about to tell you,” Ohr said. “One of them was Bruce Swartz, who is the counselor for International Affairs in the Criminal Division; a person who was working with him at the time, working on similar matters in the Criminal Division was Zainab Ahmad; and a third person who was working on some—some of these matters I believe was Andrew Weissmann.”
Like, Weissmann, Ahmad, a Pakistani American lawyer, also has a senior role as a prosecutor on Mueller’s team investigating the Trump campaign and the Russia.
Gowdy also asked Ohr about how he first met with and delivered information regarding Steele to the FBI.
“How did you find out to meet with? Who did you call to find out,” Gowdy asked during the hearing.
“After the July 30thmeeting with Chris Steele, I wanted to provide the information he had given me to the FBI,” said Ohr.
“I reached out for Andrew McCabe, at that time, Deputy Director of the FBI and somebody who had previously led the organized crime, Russian organized crime squad in NY and who I had worked with in the past, and asked if he could meet with me,” said Ohr.
Ohr went onto say, “I went to his office to provide the information, and Lisa Page was there. So, I provided the information to them. And some point after that, I think, I was given Peter Strzok, or somehow put in contact with Peter Strzok.”
Gowdy followed up with “when was that?”
“I don’t recall the exact date,” said Ohr. “I’m guessing it would’ve been August since I met with Chris Steele at the end of July, and I’m pretty sure I would have reached out to Andrew McCabe soon afterwards.”
Ohr’s testimony is contrary to statements made by House Democrats last year. In an unclassified memo from Rep. Adam Schiff, D-CA, he notes that Ohr’s contact with the FBI began “weeks after the election and more than a month after the Court approved the initial FISA.”
Sources who spoke to this reporter say that argument has now been “turned on its head.” It is clear he spoke to FBI and DOJ officials before the FISA warrant or election had taken place.

An act of terrorism...
That's how I see it.
Make an unreasonable money demand on a group of people. To get the money, you create a situation where your actions financially affect hundreds of thousands of people until your extortion demands are met...
Hmm... That fits within the definition of terrorism.

TEFLON DON: Trump's Approval Ratings Soar Despite Russia Meeting
According to a brand new Rasmussen poll, President Trump’s approval numbers have now climbed back to 46%, near the highest of his presidency. And all the other polls have now reflected the bump: the NBC/WSJ poll over the weekend shows Trump at an all-time high of 45%. That poll also showed that just 53% of Republicans approved of Trump’s behavior at his meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Helsinki — but that didn’t matter much to their overall approval of him, which is nearly universal (88%).
What’s bolstering Trump’s high approval rating? The NBC/WSJ poll suggests that Trump’s economic record is his biggest asset: 50% of Americans like the way he’s handling the economy. 51% dislike the way he has handled Putin overall, 58% disapprove of his immigration policy, and 53% disapprove of his tariff policy.
But there’s something else that has happened, too: Trump’s approval rating has been remarkably stable since long before he was president. He began his presidency at nearly the same number he now occupies; during the election cycle, he hovered in the low-40s as well. News coverage simply doesn’t touch Trump, because everything is baked in. There’s nobody in America who doesn’t have a personal opinion or take on Trump. He’s become the political equivalent of the Super Bowl: the thing everybody watches and talks about.
And that means that new information doesn’t change the math.
What does change, however, is the impact Trump has on Congressional elections. Republicans aren’t nearly as priced-in as Trump. That means that when Trump does something unpopular, Congressional Republicans bear the brunt in the polls. So, for example, at the beginning of June, before the latest round of hubbub, Democrats led Republicans in the generic ballot by 3 points; now that number is 7.4%, according to RealClearPolitics.
That’s actually not unique to Trump. President Obama retained high approval ratings throughout his time in office, because everyone had an opinion about him. But his actions reflected far more on his Congressional Democrats than on Obama himself, which is why Democrats experienced heavy losses across the country. All of which suggests that some caution is in order before Republicans declare victory thanks to Trump’s solid approval ratings: the variability in our national polls no longer seems to apply to presidential approval ratings nearly as much as to Congressional approval ratings. That’s because we’ve now used the presidency as a proxy for all of our partisanship, and we seem to reserve our more nuanced political judgment for Congressional races, where the stakes of going out to vote are lower and seemingly less fraught.

Democrat calls for death of Republican's family. Now the typical norm for Democrats
An Illinois state Democratic lawmaker is facing increasing pressure to resign after she called for the deaths of a Republican lawmaker's family during a floor speech this week.
Democrat Rep. Stephanie Kifowit said she wanted to pump a "broth of Legionella" into Republican Rep. Peter Breen's water system so his wife and children would "be infected" and "ultimately die."
"I would like to make him a broth of Legionella and pump it into the water system of his loved ones so that they can be infected, they can be mistreated, they can sit and suffer by getting aspirin instead of being properly treated and ultimately die," Kifowit said in a fit of rage.
Kifowit's horrifying remark "came just before the Illinois House voted 71-36 to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s amendatory veto of a bill to increase the cap the state pays in civil litigation cases from $100,000 to $2 million," The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
A few minutes after Kifowit's shocking statement, Republican Rep. Jeanne Ives came to Breen’s defense on the legislative floor.
"How dare you concoct up some sort of story about brewing up some batch of Legionella and having him feed it to his family," Ives fired back. "How dare you take the discussion and the debate about a very serious bill that has a huge cost consequence on both sides, both for the victim and the state taxpayers. How dare you take an honest debate about an issue and then wish death on my colleague Peter Breen, his wife and his two adopted kids."

Trump's shutdown trap?
Has President Trump suckered Democrats and the Deep State into a trap that will enable a radical downsizing of the federal bureaucracy? In only 5 more days of the already-“longest government shutdown in history” (25 days and counting, as of today), a heretofore obscure threshold will be reached, enabling permanent layoffs of bureaucrats furloughed 30 days or more.
Don’t believe me that federal bureaucrats can be laid off? Well, in bureaucratese, a layoff is called a RIF – a Reduction in Force, and of course, it comes with a slew of civil service protections. But, if the guidelines are followed, bureaucrats can be laid off -- as in no more job. It is all explained by Michael Roberts here (updated after the beginning of the partial shutdown):
Stays - Agencies - Factors - Account
In deciding who stays and who goes, federal agencies must take four factors into account:
Agencies cannot use RIF procedures to fire bad employees.
Lot - Procedures - Merit - Performance - Consideration
A lot of procedures must be followed, and merit (“performance”) is the last consideration, but based on the criteria above, employees already furloughed can be laid off (“RIFed”) once they have been furloughed for 30 days or 22 work days):
When agencies furlough employees for more than 30 calendar days or 22 discontinuous work days, they must use RIF procedures.
Employee - Position…
An employee can be terminated or moved into an available position….
This seems to be what was referenced in this remarkable essay written by an “unidentified senior Trump official” published in the Daily Caller, which vouches for the authenticity of the author, and explains that it is protecting him or her from adverse career consequences should the name become known. I strongly recommend reading the whole thing.

Report: First Border Poll Of 2019 Shows The Trap-Door Just Dropped Out Under Democrats
Chuck and Nancy thought the media would cover for them – but Trump is pulling the lever on them.
Democrats like Schumer and Pelosi are putting up a nasty fight over the border wall. Why?
They might claim Americans want them to. It seems they believe most of us want outsiders flooding out border.
Liberals claim only Trump’s “deplorables” really want the wall.
But a new poll proves them utterly wrong.
From Washington Times:
A new poll reveals that very few Americans say that illegal immigration is not a problem.
A wide-ranging Economist/YouGov survey gauged the level of concern Americans have on the issue to find that only 7 percent of the overall public say illegal immigration is “not a problem”; 2 percent of Republicans, 7 percent of independents and even 12 percent of Democrats agree with the statement.

Jews can't keep secrets:
Chris-'teen' Blassey Ford reeled in almost $700,000 on her GoFukMe fund. Meanwhile her pro bono legal team will not pursue further allegations against Kavanaugh. Wonder what the DNC paid her and how much (F)Einstein got paid?
"the show is over. I got mine."
A Jewish history lesson:
"I'm done with lying. I'm done being loyal. And one of the hopes that I have out of the punishment that I've received, as well as the cooperation that I have given, I will be remembered in history as helping to bring this country back together."
He lied for our sins....and gave us back our faith. Sound familiar?

Could Judge Sullivan declare Michael Flynn not guilty due to improper procedures by FBI, DOJ?
Does that make Flynn's testimony inadmissible in the Mullet probe? Comey admitted he broke protocols with sending Stzrok and the other guy in. (Wonder who the other guy was....?) Wonder if Comey knows since he's having problems with his memory.
We now know it's probably going to be 90 days before Mullet is finished.
Four Dead in Oh Hi Oh:
A lawsuit dating back to 2014 for Clinton's Benghazi-related emails is being reexamined.
"At best, State's efforts to pass off its deficient search as legally adequate during settlement negotiations was negligence born out of incompetence," Judge Lamberth wrote. "At worst, career employees at the State and Justice Departments colluded to scuttle public scrutiny of Clinton, skirt FOIA, and hoodwink this court."
Judge Lamberth calls hrc email,
"one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency."
I think it's time to pull her Secret Service....she wouldn't last a week.
And last but not least, let's take 'Famous last words' for $200 in the 'Fairytales' category...and this is for the win audience....

"Have a nice impeachment" to his 2 liberal followers on CS?
All things considered I'm very disappointed with the Republican party for failing to get answers to the Deep States cover ups. It won't get done now with the Resistance taking over in January. BUT, if you have time, watch this video. I'm trying to check it for accuracy and I haven't seen it on any networks.(certainly not Hillary's stations).
