Poll: Most Americans call Trump's tweets targeting 4 congresswomen 'un-American'




Really...'un-American'?

Let's step back for a minute.

These 4 turds have done NOTHING but bemoan Trump and our country since the day they were elected.







Less we forget this Muslim dog Congresswoman (remember now Islam is the religion of peace) called the POTUS a 'motherfucker'. After being sworn in, Rep. Rashida Tlaib told supporters, “We’re going to go in there and we’re going to impeach the mother------.” Mind you she didn't say this behind closed doors to friends... she said it to her supporters while being recorded!

 So if Trump's tweets are somehow threatening and un-American, then what the hell is Tlaib's???

Gimmie a break.

Oh...and Pelosi is all in a tizzy over Trump targeting the squad. But don't ya just love Pelosi's take (downplaying) Tlaib calling Trump a "motherf**ker"?

"We shouldn't make a big deal of it." said the Botox Queen. Wonder if the shoe was on the other foot she would say the same?

Ya know, when push comes to shove these 4 dogs known as the squad...are really not the enigma. It's the idiots who sent them to Washington DC!

--------------------------------------


A dramatic controversy erupted on the House floor Tuesday over Republican objections to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's remarks criticizing President Donald Trump's tweets, resulting in a lawmaker abandoning the chair and storming off. 

WASHINGTON – A clear majority of Americans say President Trump's tweets targeting four minority congresswomen were "un-American," according to a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll. But most Republicans say they agreed with his comments, an illustration of the nation's sharp partisan divide on issues of patriotism and race. 

More than two-thirds of those aware of the controversy, 68%, called Trump's tweets offensive. Among Republicans alone, however, 57% said they agreed with tweets that told the congresswomen to go back to their "original" countries, and a third "strongly" agreed with them. All four lawmakers are American citizens; three were born in the United States.

That finding may help explain the reluctance of GOP leaders and most GOP members of Congress to castigate the president for tweets and comments in recent days targeting the congresswomen, outspoken progressives who are among his sharpest critics on Capitol Hill. Only four Republicans joined House Democrats Tuesday in passing a resolution condemning Trump's comments as "racist."




That said, the dispute could be costly for Trump among some key voters in his bid for a second term in next year's presidential election. Independents by more than 2-1 said his tweets were "un-American." Three-fourths of the women polled called them offensive. 

The furor began Sunday morning with a string of presidential tweets aimed at freshwomen Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Trump's disparaging comments and the fierce responses from the four congresswomen and other Democrats have overwhelmed attention to other pressing issues, including fundamental changes in asylum policy, the treatment of undocumented migrants at the border, and a looming deadline to raise the debt ceiling and reach a budget deal.

That could presage a 2020 presidential campaign that is ignited more by cultural conflicts than by economic concerns or foreign policy issues. 

The USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll of 1,005 people, taken online Monday and Tuesday, has a credibility interval of 3.5 percentage points.

“A majority see President Trump’s tweets as un-American,” said Cliff Young, president of Ipsos Public Affairs. “However, there’s a huge partisan difference in how we interpret what’s racist in this country.”

Two-thirds of those surveyed, 65%, said that telling minority Americans to "go back where they came from" was a racist statement. Nearly three-fourths of Democrats strongly agreed with that. Republicans were inclined to agree that the comment was racist, but only by a narrow margin, 45% to 34%.

Republicans were much more skeptical of charges of racism generally. Seventy percent agreed that "people who call others 'racist' usually do so in bad faith." On that question, Democrats were split: 31% agreed; 35% disagreed.

When it came to patriotism, an overwhelming majority — 72% of Democrats, 93% of Republicans — said they were proud to be an American. While 75% of Republicans also said they were "proud of America right now," however, just 29% of Democrats agreed on that.

There was a broad consensus among those surveyed that it was patriotic "to point out where America falls short and try to do better."

But in response to a separate question, 52% of Republicans said that those who criticize America are "un-American." Just 17% of Democrats felt that way.

The poll showed the degree to which the United States remains a nation of immigrants. Forty-one percent said that they had a parent or grandparent who had immigrated from another country, or that they himself had done so. There was virtually no partisan difference on that question: 45% of Democrats, 43% of Republicans.

Think we've been here once before




Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren Would All Beat Donald Trump In 2020, New Poll Suggests

---------------------

A new poll suggested that 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren would all beat President Donald Trump in head-to-head competition by significant margins.

Former Vice President Biden remained the frontrunner, with the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing him beating out Trump by a margin of 51 to 42 percent, a lead of nine points. Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, had the second-largest win gap in the poll, beating Trump by seven points, 50 to 43 percent. With a five-point lead over the president, Warren, a senator from Massachusetts, would beat Trump 48 to 43 percent, according to the survey.

With the poll's margin of error being 3.5 percentage points, either way, each of the three frontrunners for the Democratic party's 2020 nomination currently have a clear advantage over the president. Senator Kamala Harris of California also polled ahead of the president by one point, at 45 to 44 percent. But that result fell within the poll's margin of error.

Notably, despite Sanders having a better advantage to beat Trump, more respondents said they favored Warren for the Democratic nomination. The senator from Massachusetts came in second, with support from 19 percent of respondents. Sanders tied with Harris, with 13 percent and Biden led the pack with 26 percent of support. Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana trailed the others in fifth place, with seven percent. After that, none of the other candidates polled at higher than two percent.

Sanders has, until recently, typically polled ahead of Warren, generally coming in second place after Biden in most national polls. On Sunday morning, he was asked by NBC News Meet the Press host Chuck Todd how he felt about seeing Warren significantly ahead of him in the new poll.

"Elizabeth is a good friend of mine," he responded. "What we need is a political revolution. And I think I'm the only candidate who has been clear about that, who has the capability of doing that."

Warren and Sanders have both put forward a broad range of progressive policies that aim to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans and corporations to provide universal healthcare, forgive student debt, make university education free for Americans, address climate change and improve American infrastructure. Both regularly attack corporate greed and rising inequality in America, vowing to fix a system that they view as rigged against working-class Americans.

The latest poll also showed that Trump's job approval remains steady among voters, at 45 percent. However, the majority of voters – 52 percent – said they disapprove of the job the president is doing.

Jeffrey Epstein jail logs: Accused child sex predator met with Alan Dershowitz, Bill Clinton friend, alleged co-conspirators a decade ago




This is an interesting article and what I find truly amazing is although Clinton has irrefutable, undeniable, ties to Epstein the media, for the most part, sidesteps that association to put Trump in the spotlight even though Trump had Epstein thrown out of Mar-a-Lago estate for abusing a minor. Fact: Clinton claims to be aboard the Lolita Express 4 times. FOX reports they have documented proof (flight logs) he was aboard 26 times. If that's true there's no way in hell he didn't know about and participate in sex with underage girls. Were talking about Bill Clinton for Christ sake!



Another strange phenomenon. The media couldn't produce Barry's 'secretive college transcripts' but had no problem discovering G. W. Bush's DWI in 1976.

Likewise, there's no difficulty finding photos of Trump and Epstein together. But try finding one photo of Epstein and Clinton. I have yet to find one. Sure you'll find 2 separate photos side by side but not like the ones below with Trump.

Why? 






Another thing that bothers me. 



When Epstein was having sex with all these underage girls and flying them to various exotic locations around the world...where were the parents? 

--------------------------------------------






Geoffrey Berman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, points to a photograph of Jeffrey Epstein as he announces the financier’s charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors, in New York, U.S., July 8, 2019.




Wealthy financier and accused child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein had a revolving cast of characters take turns visiting him in a Palm Beach County, Florida, jail while serving a 13-month criminal sentence in 2008 and 2009, according to visitor logs reviewed by CNBC on Friday.

Those visitors included Epstein’s appeals attorney Alan Dershowitz, who showed up on New Year’s Day 2009, as well as Arnold Paul Prosperi, a college friend of former President Bill Clinton, documents show. Other visitors were two woman who have been alleged to have been co-conspirators of Epstein.

Epstein, also a former friend of President Donald Trump’s, pleaded guilty in 2008 to a Florida state charge of procuring an underage prostitute.

He now is charged by federal prosecutors in New York with sexually abusing dozens of underage girls from 2002 through 2005 at his Manhattan townhouse and Palm Beach mansion.

Among his most frequent visitors in jail was Prosperi, who had become friends with Clinton when they attended Georgetown University together, where he ran Clinton’s campaign for student body president.

Records show that Prosperi visited Epstein at least 20 times.

An attorney who later raised funds for Clinton, Prosperi had his own criminal sentence for filing false tax returns commuted to house arrest on Clinton’s last day office in the White House in 2001.

A 1995 newspaper clipping uncovered by Snopes.com describes a dinner hosted by Revlon chief Ron Perelman and his wife, with guests including Clinton, who was president at the time, Prosperi and Epstein.

----------------------

Want a good laugh?
Check this out...


Snopes is claiming there's no evidence that photographs of Clinton with Epstein ever existed.

So I got this straight Epstein and Clinton 2 peas in a pod  (far closer than Trump and Epstein ever were)... They hung around together for years, lavish dinner parties, many other high society social events, 26 flights on the Lolita Express, visits to 'Orgy Island' and many other Epstein properties and not one photo. 

Who do you think you're bullshitting Snopes? 

------------------

Other guests at that dinner included actor Don Johnson, singer Jimmy Buffett and Don Fowler, the then-co-chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Clinton’s spokesman has said that he cut ties with Epstein over a decade ago, and has no knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes. On Friday, a representative for Clinton did not return CNBC’s request for comment.

Dershowitz spent much of the morning on January 1, 2009, with Epstein, according to records. In a statement to CNBC, Dershowitz said, “I always visit clients in prison. We discuss legal issues. It was not a personal visit. It was professional.”

Later that same holiday, Prosperi came by to see Epstein, as did Joseph Pagano, who has the same name as a venture capitalist previously reported to be a friend of Epstein. CNBC was unable to reach Pagano.

Other notable visitors were two of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators, Nadia Marcinkova and Sarah Kellen.

Combined, the two made over 70 visits to the Palm Beach County Jail, records show.

Kellen, according to a court document obtained by The Daily Beast, was one of Epstein’s closest aides in the 2000's. She now goes by the name Sarah Kensington and is married to NASCAR driver Brian Vickers. Marcinkova is now a certified FAA pilot and a flight instructor.

Neither Kellen nor Marcinkova has been criminally charged. A non-prosecution agreement that Epstein signed with federal prosecutors in Miami in 2007, explicitly said that his alleged co-conspirators would not be criminally charged.

Alex Acosta, who was U.S. attorney in Miami at the time, oversaw the deal. On Friday, Acosta resigned as Trump’s Labor secretary amid criticism of his handling of the Epstein case more than a decade ago.

Igor Zinoviev, a Russian who is a former martial artist, also made his way to Epstein’s jail cell.

No one visited Epstein more than Story Cowles, who was reportedly his personal assistant.

Cowles visited Epstein nearly 130 times.

At times, Cowles signed in as a paralegal. His online profile says that he is currently an investment banker at Tobin & Co.

Epstein finished his 13-month stint in jail with at least 340 visits from a mix of about two dozens friends, colleagues, and attorneys, among other associates, the documents show. Two process servers also visited Epstein, as did a psychiatric doctor.

An attorney for Epstein did not return a request for comment.

Dershowitz and Cowles did not return requests for comment while the other visitors could not be reached. Prosperi died in 2016.

Epstein was arrested last Saturday on the new federal charges filed in New York. He is being held without bail but is due to appear at a detention hearing on Monday.

Prosecutors in a court filing on Friday said he is worth more than $500 million, and in recent months has made payments to potential witnesses.

Epstein, who ran his firm out of the U.S. Virgin Islands, historically has had ties to a few wealthy executives and politicians.

Les Wexner, the chairman of L Brands, was known to be one of his clients before he first was sentenced a decade ago. CNBC recently uncovered 990 tax documents showing Epstein bankrolled one of Wexner’s earliest nonprofit organizations.

He also was a top donor to Rep. Stacey Plaskett, D-Virgin Islands, and she recently reversed course to give his contributions away to charity after outrage on social media.

‘Fake’ charges fly as Trump rips social media for bias, dishonesty






Can you blame Trump?

This is yet another example of the kind of crap Trump has to put up with.


This is a Class A backstabbing bitch in the Omorosa mold. 

(Wonder if she's related to Smollett?)

Lawyers for President Donald Trump say video of his interactions with campaign staffer Alva Johnson before a Tampa rally in 2016 contradicts her claims he subjected her to an unwanted, forcible kiss.

Trump’s attorneys posted the 15-second video online Wednesday and cited it in pleadings filed with a federal judge handling a lawsuit Johnson filed in February claiming trauma from the interaction with Trump, and that sex and racial discrimination impacted her pay while working as an outreach staffer for the campaign.

Trump lawyer Charles Harder said the recording shows Johnson’s suit is “unmeritorious and frivolous.”

“The Video shows that Plaintiff’s allegations in the Complaint that Mr. Trump ‘forcibly’ kissed her, and kissed her ‘on the mouth,’ are entirely false,” Harder wrote in a court filing. “In watching the Video, the only conclusion a reasonable person could reach is that the exchange was an innocent moment between a dedicated campaign staffer and the candidate for whom she was working.”

Trump’s attorneys also point out that just before the disputed embrace amid a gathering of other supporters in a recreational vehicle near the August 2016 rally, Johnson told Trump she’d been away from her family for eight months working for him. 

After the kiss cited in the lawsuit, Johnson can be heard saying: “We're going to get you in the White House; I'll see you in February.”

Trump once called Omorosa a dog and Johnson certainly falls it that same category.
