Fact checking Donald Trump’s claims ! …
Facts ?! … I think Calvin Woodward and Hope Yen , of the Associated Press , should study the word ‘ fact ‘ first before they start writing this crap …
PUTIN on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation : “ A mountain gave birth to a mouse ” — remarks Tuesday , echoed in a phone call with Trump on Friday.
THE FACTS : Some might say this is a mouse that roared.
Well that opening sentence is pure ‘ opinion ‘ of what ‘ may ‘ be the same as ‘ some ‘ other people’s ‘ opinion ‘ … Do you have any data to substantiate that ? …
THEN DON”T ATTEMPT TO REPORT IT AS ‘ FACTUAL NEWS ‘ …
The investigation produced charges against nearly three dozen people , among them senior Trump campaign operatives and 25 Russians , as it shed light on a brazen Russian assault on the American political system.
Three dozen is thirty six … Exactly what is the ‘ factual ‘ numerical value that is ‘ alluded ‘ to in the number ‘ nearly thirty six ‘ ?! … Remove the 25 Russians that were arrested that had no direct contact with Trump or his campaign ( resulting in SFA since they can’t be touched in Russia ! ) and that leaves you with less than 6 individuals … That would be the maximum amount possible contained in the term ‘ nearly three dozen ‘ , 36 … As I have followed this intently , to this date I am aware of only four people involved with the Trump campaign , yet they were charged with unrelated crimes … Cohen’s charges , and subsequent prosecution was concerning indiscretions he was involved before Trump even considered running for the Republican nomination ! …
So , exactly how ‘ factual ‘ is the reported amount of 36 people charged ? …
AHA !!! … An actual ‘ fact ‘ creeps in quietly !!! …
The investigation did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia and it reached no conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice.
Overall , Calvin and Hope are just spewing their partisan opinions , NOT reporting facts …
Here is another gem …
GRAHAM : “ As to obstruction of justice , Mr. Mueller left it to Mr. Barr to decide after two years , and all this time. He said , ‘ Mr. Barr , you decide.’ Mr. Barr did. ” — Senate hearing.
THE FACTS : Not true. Mueller did not ask Barr to rule on whether Trump’s efforts to undermine the special counsel’s Russia investigation had obstructed justice.
According to the report , Mueller’s team declined to make a prosecutorial judgment on whether to charge partly because of a Justice Department legal opinion that said sitting presidents shouldn’t be indicted.
More bullshit ! … That was the Mueller team that suggested that and then Mueller himself corrected that , stating that aspect had no bearing on his decision , the lack of provable , substantiated evidence was the driving factor …
This is basically how they go here … I’ll just pop this last item in to make my point …
The special counsel ( Mueller ) wrote that he “ cannot rule out the possibility ” that unavailable information could have cast a different light on the investigation’s findings.
Again , like ‘ opinion ‘ , the term ‘ possibility ‘ has absolutely NADA !!! to do with actual FACT !!! …
That is the same as saying if you could have found a murder weapon and an accomplice that signed a written confession , you would have charged the person !!! … But I did not … BUT IF I DID !!! … He would be guilty !!!…
That is the Democrap thought process !!! …

Like , gardening ! … Food that comes out of dirt … Like , it’s magic !!! …
I’ve neglected the poor wee cretin for too long …
Sandy the bartender Ocasio-Cortez is in like total shock … She’s TOTALLY amazed that you can actually grow vegetables in a community garden and that food comes out of the dirt ! … To dummy Ocasio-Cortez , “ like it’s magic ” or something … Crazy Ocasio-Cortez is literally in shock that food comes out of the dirt , like magic !
Who in the hell elected this dope ? A bunch of 2nd graders ? I mean seriously , this is a representative the NEw YOrk City area ?! She’s actually shocked that food grows “ from the dirt ” in a community garden ?… No idiot Ocasio-Cortez , it’s not magic … This is the author of the so called creator of the Green New Deal and the “ boss ” of the communist Democrat party ?…
Ok let me get this straight. This dope Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t know food can grow in the dirt but wants to get rid of all farting cows ? She thinks it magic that food grows in the dirt yet wants to re-do every building in the United States and ban air travel and cars ?…
Ocasio Cortez really graduated with a degree in economics from Boston University yet doesn’t know simple gardening. Wow the college system has really broken down over the years …

Don Surber : Bill Barr may be Trumpier than Trump ! …
Blumenthal : ” Did you make a memorandum of your conversation ? “
Barr : ” No , I didn’t. “
Blumenthal : ” Did anyone , either you or anyone on your staff , memorialize your conversation with Robert Mueller ? “
Barr : ” Yes. “
Blumenthal : ” May we have those notes ? “
Barr : ” No. “
Blumenthal : ” Why not ? “
Barr : ” Why should you have them ? “
This reminded me of the fight scene in ‘ Blazing Saddles ‘ when Slim Pickens tells Dom DeLuise ( who played a sissy movie director ) : ” Piss on you , I’m working for Mel Brooks ! “…
And piss on Democrats. Barr is working for President Donald John Trump.
That is how it works.
Congress has oversight of the president , but Cabinet members and everyone on down serves at the will and pleasure of the president , who is elected by the states through the Electoral College.
I would like to hope that I cleared up the confusion , but that is not my hope because confused Democrats entertain me. They are still stunned by the 2016 election , which shows how much we got it right.
” Why should you have them ? “
That is a good question that they cannot answer.
He could have been a nice guy and released the notes , but why ? When was Washington ever nice to us ?…
All Canadians have to do is pull the plug on you know who …
Jason Kenney made his first speech as premier in Toronto where they gave him a rousing standing ovation.
Someone asked about his talk with Trudeau , something Kenney called “ a full and frank exchange ”.
Once again he mentioned he talked to Trudeau about Alberta separatism. A poll in February showed half of Albertans consider separatism a real possibility.
Kenney says the number is shocking and much higher than in Quebec. Some of the sentiment to split can be chalked up to blowing off steam.
But Kenney pointed to “ a huge , deep and growing sense of frustration and alienation in Alberta ”.
“ My message to the prime minister : do not be dismissive of this. Take it seriously.”
The premier also pointed to the double standard — Alberta and Quebec.
The double standard that really ticks people off.
“ It would be unthinkable if we saw polls with 50% support for Quebec separation that a federal government would come forward with legislation that clearly violates exclusive provincial jurisdiction in order to massively damage Quebec’s largest industry.”
Kenney mentions how they treated Quebec when he was around the cabinet table in Ottawa.
“ We would be hyper-sensitive abut anything that could be considered the most modest slight by the government of Quebec.”
Trudeau sure doesn’t treat Alberta that way.
There is another possible light at the end of the tunnel.
On Friday , federal Conservative leader Andrew Scheer again vows to scrap Trudeau’s tax as his first action if he becomes prime minister in the fall …
Go for it Jason !!! … And as far as KBec is concerned with their seperation threats … KICK ‘EM OUT !!! … Take the southern third of the geographical area of the province , with it’s Federally financed infrastructure , add the cost of their bullshit bilingualism to their population based percentage of the country’s national debt and tell them to have a go at creating their own monetary system to negotiate deals with other countries , as they will NOT be using the Canadian dollar ! …
Try not to let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out !!! …

12 legal experts ?!!! …
Despite Barr’s statements , top legal thinkers ( according to who ? ) aren’t so sure that the conclusion should be so cut and dried. I asked 12 legal experts ( Again , how are these people determined to be ‘ experts ‘ ) to examine what the report had to say about collusion and obstruction of justice. Specifically , I wanted to know if Barr’s decision not to pursue obstruction charges was justified , and if the evidence of coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign amounted to criminal conspiracy.
There was a near-consensus on both questions. While Mueller may not have had sufficient evidence to charge anyone with conspiracy , the experts agree that plenty of evidence exists …
Right off the bat you are fed a complete load of lawyer double speak that they pompously figure you’ll buy due to their ‘ expertise ‘ in all things legal …
The same is true of the obstruction question. As one expert put it , “ the Mueller report provides a road map for prosecuting Trump for obstruction of justice, but stops short of this finding because of legal doubts about indicting a sitting president ”.
At this point I’ll point out that William Barr has long been in that category of so called ‘ experts ‘ ( Having been chosen by two presidents now ) and is once again THEE top expert , as the Attorney General of the United States …
Oh well … Let’s hear a bit of their ‘ sagely opinions ‘… You can hit the link if you have time to waste today and read this Vox opinion piece by Sean Illing …
Jessica Levinson , law professor , Loyola Law School
Today we know that perhaps the difference between a suggestion that Trump be prosecuted for obstruction of justice and a suggestion that he not be was 1 ) Mueller’s inability to sit down and speak with the Trump without subpoenaing him and Mueller’s decision not to subpoena Trump …
Note how Jessica has only got ‘ her opinion ‘ , which she openly states is based on what feels ‘ MAY ‘ be a ‘ suggestion ‘ of choice of action …
Since when does even a half assed lawyer head to court with bullshit like that to attempt a prosecution ?!!! …
Miriam Baer , law professor , Brooklyn Law School
Even if each of the events described and analyzed by the special counsel independently falls short of establishing obstruction as a legal matter ( and that’s a debatable proposition ), viewed in the aggregate, they indicate a stunning willingness to ignore and subvert the rule of law …
Well Miriam dear , if the special counsel ‘ fell short ‘ of establishing obstruction in the necessary legal context , what ‘ law ‘ has Trump , or anyone in his sphere , ‘ ignored ‘ and/or subverted ? …
Stephen Legomsky , law professor , Washington University
Mr. Mueller ultimately decided there was no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians … Some media reports went further , stating that Mr. Mueller had found “ no evidence ” of a conspiracy …
Those accounts gave the president an undeserved free pass , for even Mr. Barr’s cherry-picked quotes had made no such claims. We can now see that all Mr. Mueller decided on that issue was that “ the investigation did not establish ” such a conspiracy … To non-lawyers this might seem like splitting hairs , but lawyers understand how important that difference is …
Listen to this ‘ full of himself ‘ doorknob !!! … To ” non-lawyers ” …
Most of us are quite aware of the fact that it means ya can’t PROVE shit !!! … So it’s done … Sorry ’bout your luck !!! …
I’ll throw in one of Mueller’s BS ‘ circular sentences ‘ from his report intro :
“ A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts ”… In other words … I didn’t say there were NO facts … I just couldn’t FIND any facts ! … That’s like saying ” I didn’t say there was no Tooth Fairy , I just could FIND the Tooth Fairy … But a lot of kids are tewllin’ me they got money from this ‘ Tooth Fairy ‘ …
I’ll throw in one more tidbit …
Peter Margulies , law professor , Roger Williams University School of Law
The Mueller report provides a road map for prosecuting Trump for obstruction of justice but stops short of this finding because of legal doubts about indicting a sitting president …
Mueller himself has stated that the ‘ can’t indict a sitting president ‘ did NOT influence his ‘ non decision ‘ to pursue prosecution … It was the lack of strength in the information he had gleaned over 2 years of investigating …
It’s all the same game with the rest of the ‘ Erudite Dozen ‘, all of whom let a prime basis of the law , ‘ Innocent until PROVEN guilty ‘, slip out of their briefcases …

Congressman Twitter Chicken …
I mentioned earlier that Steve Cohen – that chicken-eating human meme – is probably the last person to call anyone else a chicken given his hair-trigger when it comes to blocking people on Twitter. In short, just call Steve Cohen Congressman Twitter Chicken.
Which, when you think about it , is rather odd.
If I’m not mistaken , some of President Trump’s more noxious trolls went to court after he blocked them. And the judge ruled that a public servant cannot block people from accessing his or her Twitter account.
So what gives ?
Why am I , and so many others ( from what I read on Twitchy ) blocked by Congressman Twitter Chicken ?
Shouldn’t this spineless little goblin have to abide by the same rules imposed on President Trump.
Now , don’t get me wrong. It isn’t as if I’m eager to follow the disheveled old coot. I’m not.
Truth is , I never interacted with Congressman Twitter Chicken. Not once. Not a reply , not a quote tweet, nothing.
And yet Congressman Twitter Chicken blocked me at least a year ago. For all I know it’s been longer.
In fact , the only reason I found out is last July the human meme sent out a tweet begging the military to stage a coup against President Trump. But , alas , I couldn’t see it. It was then that I discovered the cowardly chicken had me blocked.
So , if you’re playing along at home , Steve Cohen is tough enough to go on cable news and posture and preen about Attorney General Barr. He’s courageous enough to demand the military remove President Trump. But the gutless , chicken-gnawing worm is such a coward he can’t even face a sweet kitteny gal like me …
The sissy …
Barr Told Nothing But the Truth to Congress … American Greatness …
Introducing …
Attorney General Bill Barr lied to Congress ? If you have any liberal friends , they’ve already started repeating this talking point. It’s nonsense.
When I first read the editorials carping on the attorney general’s March 24 , 2019 summary of the Mueller report , I failed to recognize the coordinated assault being launched to punish Barr for … well , let’s be honest , speaking truth to the leftist juggernaut that pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. After all , why are we arguing over a summary of a report that’s now available to the public ?
Nope , this thin gruel is the Left’s chosen weapon to stop Barr from holding the conspirators to account.
“ What is deadly serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States ” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) said with a New York Times megaphone to her lips. “ That’s a crime ”…
More hysterical repetition of this charge may be read in Mother Jones , USA Today , the Washington Post , the Lawfare Blog , and even Fox News. There must be a conference call or a chat group because the media and congressional Democrats seem to have organized and coordinated their messaging.
To stop Barr from further exposing the original hoax , the Left concocted a new one: that the attorney general lied to Congress.
Let’s explore their argument …
Mueller wrote Barr a secret letter after Barr issued his March 24 , 2019 summary. This was a dirty trick. Barr asked Mueller for a report that could be quickly released in its entirety. Mueller defied that request which is what made Barr’s summary letter necessary in the first place. Barr then asked for Mueller’s input into the March 24 , 2019 summary before releasing it ( watch Barr’s testimony here at 20:55 ). Mueller declined that request.
When Barr released the March 24 , 2019 letter to Congress , Mueller pounced. First , he sent Barr the March 27 , 2019 letter , which scolds the attorney general for his summary that Mueller , although he had prior access , declined to review beforehand.
“ As we stated in our meeting of March 5 and reiterated to the Department early in the afternoon of March 24 ” Mueller wrote “ the introductions and executive summaries of our two-volume report accurately summarize this Office’s work and conclusions. The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context , nature , and substance of this Office’s work and conclusions. We communicated that concern to the Department on the morning of March 25.”
Mueller cited 28 CFR §609(c) to support this concern , a regulation that does not exist. It was a sloppy drafting error ( the correct citation is 28 CFR § 600.9 ).
Mueller then appears to have coordinated with a Slate writer who just happened to report “ Mueller surely wrote an executive summary of his findings for Barr , and it clearly would have been easier for Barr simply to give Congress and the public Mueller’s summary than to write this letter himself. The question is why Barr didn’t ”.
At that point , Mueller’s team leaked that it was unhappy with the Barr summary. Remember : Mueller turned down the opportunity to review the March 24 summary before Barr made it public.
Mueller’s leak allowed Representative Charlie Crist ( D-Fla. ) to ask Barr ; “ Reports have emerged that members of the special counsel’s team are frustrated at some level with the limited information included in your March 24 letter … that it does not adequately or accurately … necessarily portray the report’s findings. Do you know what they’re referencing with that ? ”…
“No , I don’t ” Barr answered. “ I suspect that they probably wanted more put out ”…
An Inept Trap …
Barr , at the time , did not mention Mueller’s March 27 letter. So , his critics argue , he lied to Congress by not admitting Mueller had written a letter to Barr. It was a well-planned dirty trick by the cabal of news media , congressional staffers and the Mueller team.
But it fell apart in the execution.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse ( D.-R.I. ) on Wednesday attempted to spring the trap. “ Would you concede that you had the opportunity to make this letter public on April 4 when Representative Crist asked you a very related question ? ”…
“ I don’t know what you mean by related question. This seems to me to be a very different question ” Barr replied. Senator Sheldon melted into stammering.
Senator Patrick Leahy ( D-Vt. ) tried again. “ Why did you testify on April 9 that you didn’t know the concerns being expressed by Mueller’s team , when in fact you heard those concerns directly from Mr. Mueller two weeks before ? ”
Barr explained that after he received the letter , he spoke directly to Mueller and “ specifically asked him ‘ what exactly are your concerns ? ’ Are you saying that the March 24 letter was misleading or inaccurate , or what ? ’ ” Mueller admitted to Barr that the March 24 letter was neither misleading nor inaccurate.
Barr then accurately re-read the Crist question which asked about Mueller’s team and their frustrations. Barr again explained that he spoke with Mueller directly and Mueller reiterated that the March 24 letter was neither misleading or inaccurate.
The real problem is that Mueller wanted Barr to execute a public-relations hit on Trump and wasn’t happy that Barr confined the summary to the bottom-line conclusions. Barr said he didn’t want to attempt to summarize the entire report and would let the report speak for itself. He has never deviated from that explanation and Mueller’s letter points to no inaccuracy or misleading information.
Thus, Barr’s answer was 100 percent accurate.
Democrats Want a Fight …
Barr has now revealed that Mueller made a conscious choice to salt the report with unsegregated grand jury material. It wasn’t until after Barr released his March 24 summary that Mueller redacted the summaries from the report. Barr wasn’t interested in making a press release for the president’s enemies. That makes him an enemy of the juggernaut. That’s his real crime.
We just learned that the Justice Department sent a less-redacted Mueller report to Congress and that the Democrats haven’t bothered to read it. Instead , they now want a legal battle over Barr’s refusal to turn over a completely unredacted report.
To be clear , they don’t want the report , which is 98 percent unredacted in the public form. They want the fight.
Factcheck.org wrote ( without intended irony ) “ at the very least, the attorney general didn’t give Congress the full story about what he knew regarding the special counsel’s concerns about his March 24 memo.”
Wait , who is misleading people by failing to tell the full story ? Because when one does read all of Barr’s testimony in both hearings , the full story is apparent.
There is a very short list of names of people who really speak “ truth to power ” in the last two years. There’s nothing courageous about trashing the president from the safety of a mob or inside the velvet rope of an elite social gathering. Nobody thinks Barr lied to Congress—not even the Democrats who engineered yet another hoax. On the contrary , it’s the absence of Barr’s lying that has this cabal firing off panicked rounds in his direction.
Remember all of those people who said we must endure the Russia-collusion investigation no matter how disruptive it became to the country ? Remember the calls to protect Mueller ? Well , now it’s time to protect Barr. He needs to get to the bottom of the conspiracy to use our criminal justice and intelligence systems as a political weapon if we want to preserve our republic.
I look forward to checking in on this new political perspective …

The decline of the celebrity Prime Minister …
Justin Trudeau was never fit nor qualified to be entrusted with the responsibility of governing even the smallest of municipalities , never mind a G& country …
This ‘ Junior ‘ Liberal government has been about a man as much as it has been about a program. The world loved Canada because its glorious leader stepped out of central casting to pick up the Obama baton. That’s why the thought of diversifying away from Trudeau the celebrity Prime Minister has never been contemplated. In Trudeau the leaderification of Canadian politics has reached its high water mark in form , if not substance. Live by the selfie , die by the selfie.
Sure ! … ” Budget ?! … Never mind the budget … Budgets balance themselves !!! … Look at me in India !!! … Look at me with all the other kiddies !!! … Hey ! Remember that time I won that totally fixed PR boxing contest with that political what’s-his-name ?!!! … Didn’t I look sexy in my boxers !!! ” …
It’s a good thing your old man ain’t here to witness this horseshit Jr …
Observing from the outside , it’s hard to see what could make someone of substance leave their gig to sign up to Team Trudeau in its current state. The brand ain’t what it used to be and Canadians are no longer responding to the old Trudeau magic. Sure , Scheer isn’t going great guns on the personal numbers front either , but when voters are tired of something they look to the alternative. Trudeau would know ; that’s how he got the gig.
When Trudeau was in the midst of his long honeymoon it was often said the next election was his to lose. Well , he’s Bill Bucknering it pretty badly at the moment. And while those who know him best say this is when he usually fights back harder than ever , it’s going to take a new ( and heretofore unseen ) skill set to get it done.
It won’t only be the skeptics holding their breath. Ordinary Canadians can see the government’s engine has turned out to be a bright firework that can only be set off one time and is now in the process of fizzling out.
I’d say it’s long done and time to put a lid on the garbage can to make the smoky residue cease for good …
Come on November ’19 …
The big fat ghost of the Duffster haunts Junior now …
OTTAWA — The Senate is still debating whether or not to invite former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify about the SNC-Lavalin affair and at least one senator wants former prime minister Stephen Harper to show up, too.
In a new twist to the weeks-long deliberations Thursday evening, one senator proposed expanding a committee study to discuss inappropriate interference by the Prime Minister’s Office in general, and inviting witnesses, including Harper and former aide Nigel Wright, to be questioned about the scandal around Sen. Mike Duffy, who still sits in the Senate.
It was yet another sign that tensions in an independent-majority upper chamber, where newer members are preoccupied by snuffing out partisanship, are starting to boil over.
Sen. Pierrette Ringuette, formerly a Liberal senator who is now part of the Independent Senators Group, proposed amending Conservative Sen. Don Plett’s motion, seeking to invite Wilson-Raybould to talk to the Senate legal committee, with a list of witnesses “with potential experience in past matters of alleged political interference, direction and pressure on parliamentarians and their work in the Office of the Prime Minister.” The list names Harper, three of his former top staff and several Conservative senators past and present.
Plett promptly accused her of trying to “make a mockery” out of a serious issue. “I am astounded, flabbergasted and offended,” he said, before debate was adjourned for the night.
After being shuffled from justice in January and resigning from cabinet in February, Wilson-Raybould testified at the House of Commons justice committee that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to inappropriately interfere in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin for political reasons — and that she suspected her decision not to bow to that pressure was the reason she lost the attorney general job. After the Liberal majority on that committee cut its investigation into the issue short, Conservatives in the Senate have argued there is unfinished business to complete.
They have also argued that if independent senators appointed by Trudeau are really independent, they will allow further study. As Plett put it Thursday evening, “If senators opposite vote against the motion that is before us, I submit they will be the ones in this chamber who are demonstrating blatant partisanship, partisanship on behalf of the current government.”
In the preamble to her amendment Ringuette noted that in Wilson-Raybould’s subsequent brief to the committee, which included an audio file that corroborated her earlier testimony, the former minister said, “I do not believe I have anything further to offer a formal process regarding this specific matter.”
“If anything, I find myself surprised by the outreach displayed by the members opposite. After all, PMO pressure on the Conservative government caucus of the Senate during the last Parliament is well documented,” Ringuette said, before reading from an Ontario Court of Justice decision that acquitted Sen. Mike Duffy of criminal charges in 2016.
Duffy had been caught in a scandal over whether he was a “primary” resident of the province he represented, Prince Edward Island, and over a $90,000 cheque Wright offered him to cover living expenses that Harper had ordered him to pay back to the Senate. Although the senator himself was cleared, the judge slammed the then-PMO’s “political, covert, relentless” puppeteering in the Senate as “mind boggling and shocking” and “unacceptable in a democratic society.”
“Perhaps the Senate ought to exercise some sober second thought on this matter as well. It never did. After all, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander,” Ringuette said.
Another independent senator tried to adjourn debate, but not before Plett got his reaction on the record.
“I’m not very often at a complete loss for words,” he began. “I think it is shameful that we would make such a mockery out of such a serious situation where Canadians have been cheated, where a prime minister is under investigation … where ministers have come down, condemning this prime minister and his government. Then for someone to bring people back from five and six and 10 years ago as if this is an amendment.”
Senators will have to deal with the amendment before they can decide on the original motion. Time is running out; Plett’s motion calls for a report by June 15. Meanwhile, more debate has yet to happen on a different motion from independent senator André Pratte. It seeks a special committee study on issues around the SNC-Lavalin affair, with a June 1 deadline, but stops short of inviting Wilson-Raybould herself.
