Get THIS! Leading New York Dems wanted SCOTUS to throw out a Trump immigration order based on his comments about immigrants. But in court last week, the State’s attorney told the court to ignore @NYGovCuomo’s comments targeting Jews on COVID-19. This info is from an exclusive
interview that @Ami_Magazine has this week with attorney Avi Schick who sued NYS on behalf of @AgudahNews. “We put before the court the various statements that were made targeting the frum (Orthodox) community. The judge then questioned the state’s lawyer about those statements.
He responded with a legalism, which was to say that the court should ignore the governor’s statements and look only at the words in the executive order itself. The state pointed to a fairly recent Supreme Court case called Trump v. Hawaii, in which the Supreme Court said it
would ignore Prez Trump’s statements about immigrants and look only at the executive order being challenged in that case... It was jarring to hear the state’s lawyer publicly comparing Governor Cuomo’s statements regarding Orthodox Jews to Trump’s statements about immigrants.”

The uprising has begun.
Some slob photog who failed in his life landed up having a job to take photos of Orthodox Jews 10:30 PM to see if they follow rules. He won’t chase BLM or white hipsters. He is picking on Hasidim because they are now a target by @NYGovCuomo. The slob was rushed from the scene!
Chants of “knock him out! Knock him out!”

I don’t condone it but media can’t spend a month degrading Orthodox Jews by repeating incomplete data from @NYCMayor and @NYGovCuomo and push cameras into faces of people hoping to find wrongs, and then expect that locals will be happy.

Did @MikeBloomberg pay the fines from a FEC registered committee? I mean, Trump did not pay SD from an FEC account and that was a “violation” because if not for the election, they said, Trump would not have spent the money. Ok, what about Bloomberg?

cc @rebeccaballhaus
My understanding is that @MikeBloomberg paid the bills of felons who are African American or Latino and thus more likely to vote Democrat. This is a full scale political, not justice, operation per how Trump was handled regarding payments to SD.

cc @TimOBrien @EllenLWeintraub
Had Trump paid SD from his candidate committee, it would have been packaged as an FEC violation since Trump made such payments in the past and/or such payments are dual benefit; personal and for the campaign like a teeth whitening. Candidates don’t pay it from their FEC account.

1/ If you are a “conservative” that follows politics since at least 1986, I would like to slap around you and/or the clowns in your midst.

In 1986, people around Reagan who buy whatever Dem Narrative that the NYT/WashPost sells, told Reagan that he needs to sign off on a
2/ massive immigration amnesty that has made its way through the House and Senate with strong majorities or else he will loss the mid-terms. Reagan, like Republican politicians before and after him, went for it. He didn’t sign it before the election but his signature was a given.
3/ In the Nov 4th, 1986 mid term elections, Republicans lost 8 seats in the Senate in part due to angry conservatives not voting. The GOP majority dropped from 53 to 45 while Dems rose from 47 to 55. Part of the loss was built-in from 1980 when Republicans won 12 Senate seats

The Justice was in and out of hospital for months. The idea that she was “here” on recent cases is a farce and there was literally no calls for her to hang up the robe to let the process work. She hung in there hoping for a favorable election outcome this November. It’s indeed
her right to have done this, but it’s the responsibility of news media to hold government accountable; all members of all branches of government. This did not happen. Instead we got puff pieces as to how great her mind is.
I am not sure how RBG’s alleged “last wish” has any bearing on the #FillTheSeat debate. It’s not her seat and she could have left a few years back when Obama was around.

The potential SCOTUS nominees for Trump were put on a list by hard core conservatives, but the people running the self-dealing Lincoln Project shop side with the democrats because for them it’s #GriftOverCountry.
Note the massive engagement that their tweet has. It’s a result of Dem Media pushing it.

The people running the Project used to work for GOP candidates and campaigns but they almost always failed in huge numbers within primaries. These hacks are now collecting more money from
the Project than what they collected from all past campaigns combined!

I am not sure how the anti-Trump trolling by failed operatives becomes big news just because they are “Republicans” who have been rejected by GOP voters. I am a Democrat. Is what a say about Trump more

The July Unemployment Rate by State and total deaths per million with Covid:

12.5% NY (1,705 Deaths Per Mill)

12.8% CT (1,259)

11.3% MA (1,343)

10.9% NJ (1,822)

10.3% PA (624)

7.4% FL (609)

6.8% TX (516)

5.6% GA (610)
Basically, in Unemployment and in Deaths-Per-Million with Coronavirus, @NYGovCuomo’s New York is the second worst among the 50 states. Yet, in NY and nationally he is paraded around as someone who has done a great job this year.
Some people think that if not for coronavirus Trump would certainly win reelection.

Um, if not for coronavirus then other items would’ve been packaged as bad.

NY is a mess yet its leader is covered as great.

It’s not the incident (Covid-19) that matters; coverage matters more.
