That's our President.

"I'm asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2K...I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items...and to send me a suitable bill..."

"maybe that [next] administration will be me"
Thanks @realDonaldTrump for intervening as Congress is worse than useless.

Cheap talk of "Draining the Swamp" while passing Bill that funds it - and leaving Americans out.

Only 6 Senators voted no:

@MarshaBlackburn
@RandPaul
@SenRonJohnson
@SenMikeLee
@SenRickScott
@tedcruz
The relief should always have been stand-alone.

Needs to be redone w/out the massive pork that inflated it far beyond the amounts to help everyday citizens in the immediate.

As for the appropriations - an embarrassment and should be a complete redo.

Trump wanted to fire Krebs earlier.

Was reportedly blocked by acting head of Homeland Security Chad Wolf.

Krebs also reportedly close with Miles Taylor: “Chad was asked by the president to fire Anonymous’ best friend and he’s refusing,”

Krebs also failed to disclose that Dominion, Smartmatic & Pro V&V were all members of CISA's Sector Coordinating Council - one of the two "councils" responsible for drafting the election integrity statement issued by Krebs and CISA:

Side note: I'd been aware of NY Post reporting on Wolf. Just found next-day article w/vague-sounding denial from unknown WH spokesperson.

Make of it what you will.

What is known: Krebs (ties to Silicon Valley) had been expecting to be fired for a bit.

"If a majority of the General Assembly concurs with the findings of this report, the certification of the Election should be rescinded and the General Assembly should act to determine the proper Electors to be certified to the Electoral College"

1) Where Bill Barr Failed the President

This is a lengthy article. And given the topic, deservedly so.

An examination of some of the critical junctures during Barr’s tenure as Attorney General
theepochtimes.com/where-bill-bar…
2) Barr’s most significant achievement was perhaps his role in the final stages of Mueller's investigation, leading to his conclusion that evidence compiled by Mueller failed to establish that the president had obstructed justice.

But a series of curious missteps then followed.
3) The investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Huber disappeared entirely, although a portion of that investigation may have been folded into U.S. Attorney John Durham’s still ongoing investigation.

A lot of people dismissively mocking this tweet but it's worth pausing to recognize its Marxist roots.

This "thinking" traces back to Critical Theory, The Frankfurt School, Theodor Adorno & ultimately Antonio Gramsci.
The Frankfurt School employed a technique called Critical Theory – a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole.
The point of the theory is to criticize every traditional social institution – and to specifically avoid offering any alternatives – as a means to breaking down Western Culture.

"Justices concluded that it’s up to each voter - not the county clerks or anyone else - to decide if and when they qualify as indefinitely confined."

"After a string of defeats in court, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling comes as much needed victory for President Trump."
"Under Wisconsin law, a voter may receive a ballot by mail and bypass Wisconsin’s voter ID law"

IF

"the voter, by his own determination, concludes he is “confined” based on age, physical illness, or infirmity."
"This fall, roughly 215,000 voters in Wisconsin said they were indefinitely confined, nearly a four-fold increase from the 2016 election."
