Former GOP Presidential Candidate Says Biden Gets Her Vote

Carley Fiorina, a former 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said that Donald Trump will not get her vote in November. Fiorina is pledging her support to Democratic candidate, Joe Biden.

“I’ve been very clear that I can’t support Donald Trump. And, you know, elections are binary choices. I will say this: I think, I hope, that Biden understands that this moment in history calls for him to be a leader, not a politician,” Fiorina told The Atlantic’s podcast The Ticket in an interview released Thursday.

Pressed whether that meant she would vote for Biden in the general election, Fiorina replied, “Well, it’s not ’til November is it? I’m not voting for Trump … it’s a binary choice. So if faced with a binary choice on a ballot, yes.”

Kellyanne Conway Sees Nothing Wrong With Trump’s Racism

Trump’s advisor Kellyann Conway has proven time and again that she is willing to say and do whatever to keep her position in the Trump Whitehouse.

There are many examples of the lows Kellyanne has stooped to, but Wednesday when she defended Trump’s continuous use of the racist term, “Kung-flu”, to describe Coronavirus, well, that just shows her willingness to stay in the gutters.

It wasn’t that long ago when an Asian-American reporter pointed out that someone in the Whitehouse was using the racist term. Kellyanne agreed that it “highly offensive”, and demanded to know who in the administration the term was associated to.

“Of course it’s wrong,” Conway said at the time. “That’s highly offensive, so you should tell us all who it is.”

That was then. Now that it is clear Trump is the source of the “highly offensive” language in the Whitehouse, Kellyanne has changed. When asked to explain why Trump is still using the language, Kellyanne argued;

“Excuse me, how do you know the way people, how do you know that people aren’t anticipating that or not connecting that? You don’t know that. While the president is saying it, he’s also saying this virus came from China. China is responsible… He said it’s called many different things, it’s called the Wuhan virus, the Chinese virus, and then he used another term.”

She just secured her position in this Whitehouse ’till November.

Bolton will not be voting for Trump in November – Will not vote for Biden either

In a previous report from The Telegraph, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, said that he will not be voting for Donald Trump in November, instead, according to The Telegraph, Bolton said he would vote for Joe Biden.

However, in a more recent ABC News interview, Bolton has now withdrawn his support for the Democratic presidential nominee. Bolton told ABC that he will “figure out a conservative Republican” to vote for instead.

”I don’t think he’s a conservative Republican. I’m not going to vote for him in November — certainly not going to vote for Joe Biden either. I’m going to figure out a conservative Republican to vote in,” Bolton told ABC.

NOTE: The Telegraph earlier interviewed Bolton and reported he said he intended to vote for Biden over Trump. A Bolton spokesperson told Axios and Politico that the Telegraph report was incorrect.

Donald Trump Threatens Violence Against Protesters in Oklahoma

There was a time when the President of the United States worked in favor of the American people. It was accepted that the general welfare of the American people would be a top priority for the occupant of the Oval Office and any deviation was absolutely inconceivable.  It wasn’t too long ago when a president’s outfit caused an uproar because his suit was tan and that somehow was interpreted as being disrespectful to the office.

But today, a president just announced on Twitter that any protesters in Oklahoma for his Saturday rally, will not be tolerated. He stated that these Americans will be treated “much differently” than they were in “New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis.”

And if you think Republicans will be outraged by this threat like they were when Obama wore a tan suit, then you’d be dead wrong. 

The President just took to twitter and announced;

Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis. It will be a much different scene!

Facebook Removes Trump’s Ad Featuring NAZI Symbol

Daily News reports that Facebook removed an ad from President Trump’s reelection campaign on Thursday that featured a symbol used by the Nazis to label political prisoners in Adolf Hitler’s concentration camps, saying the inflammatory post violated the platform’s “policy against organized hate.”

The disturbing ad, which was launched Wednesday, calls on users to sign a petition hailing Trump’s “decision to declare ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization” because “dangerous MOBS of far-left groups are running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem.”

Trump: “I think the concept of chokeholds sounds so innocent and perfect”

There are those who will bend themselves into a pretzel in an effort to defend what Donald Trump said about chokeholds. But no matter how you try, the words “chokeholds sounds so innocent and perfect” should never be used in the same sentence when you consider the fact that the method is responsible for the death of numerous Americans.

But we are talking about Donald Trump, a man who clearly lacks empathy and quite frankly, common sense. At a time when Americans of all demographics are united against racism and police brutality, Donald Trump is determined to stay on the wrong side of history.

Army General Offers Regret for Walking Trump to Church for Photo-op

As peaceful protesters gathered to demonstrate their constitutional right to demand justice for the murder of George Floyd, Donald Trump and his administration issued the order to clear these protesters from Lafayette Square Park to allow Trump to walk, unimpeded, for a photo-op at a church. Flanked on his right and left as he made his way through the park were members of his administration and military personal.

Needless to say, this move to deny people their constitutional right to protest garnered much criticism nationwide.

One of the men following Trump to the church was Trump’s top military adviser and US Army General, Mark Milley. Milley has now denounced Trump and his photo-op and has apologized for his part in the event.

“I should not have been there,” Milley said in remarks to a National Defense University commencement ceremony.

Milley’s public expression of regret comes as Pentagon leaders’ relations with the White House are still tense after a disagreement last week over Trump’s threat to use federal troops to quell civil unrest triggered by the death of George Floyd.

After protesters were cleared from the Lafayette Square area, Trump led an entourage that included Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper to St. John’s Episcopal Church, where he held up a Bible for photographers and then returned to the White House.

Colin Powell – “I certainly cannot in any way support President Trump this year”

In a Sunday interview on CNN, retired General and Republican, Colin Powell expressed frustrations with Donald Trump and his administration’s clear goal of dismantling the very fabric of this nation. Powell also confirmed that he will not support Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

“I certainly cannot in any way support President Trump this year,” Powell, a Republican, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” adding that he couldn’t bring himself to vote for Trump four years ago.

The retired general voted for Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, in 2016, and hacked emails released in September of that year showed Powell strongly condemning Trump, labeling him a “national disgrace and an international pariah.”

Powell said Sunday that he is “very close to Joe Biden on a social matter and on a political matter,” adding: “I worked with him for 35, 40 years, and he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him.”

Biden expressed his thanks in a tweet later Sunday, saying, “This isn’t about politics. This is about the future of our country. Grateful for your support, Secretary Powell.”

‘Morning in America’ – The Trump’s Version of America

Donald Trump is not Ronald Reagan, and should not even be mentioned in the same category as the loved and often praised Ronald Reagan. So when a political campaign ad titled ‘Morning in America’ debuted yesterday, many recalled the 1984 political ad by Reagan’s campaign with the same name.

Reagan’s ad highlighted some of the positive aspects of the economy under Reagan’s leadership. The 2020 version of Morning in America under Trump’s leadership, however, is very different.

Trump Throws Kemp Under The Bus – I “Strongly” Disagree with his decision

When Trump speaks, Republicans listen. And Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp thought he was falling in line, you know, doing what Trump wanted. Today, however, Trump threw Kemp under the bus.

Trump has not minced words on his desire to get the economy going again. He has been fixated on ending the Coronavirus quarantine and getting Americans back to work, back to school, and back to their normal life. The only problem is, Trump’s desire flies in the face of logic. Asking governors to end their quarantine and reopen their state can, and most likely will, have an adverse effect and can lead to more coronavirus cases and possibly more deaths.

Trump wants states to reopen by May 1st.

Brian Kemp took heed. He heard Trump’s call to governors to reopen their state by May 1st and obeyed. Asked about Kemp’s blind allegiance to his nonsense, Trump pulled himself out of the equation, stated that he “strongly” disagrees with Kemp’s decision and threw Kemp squarely under the bus.

“I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the Phase 1 guidelines for the incredible people of Georgia,” Trump said, referring to preliminary guidelines the White House issued on beginning to reopen the country following statewide lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus.

“He must do what he thinks is right,” Trump said. “I want him to do what he thinks is right. But I disagree with him on what he’s doing, but I want to let the governors do — now if I see something totally egregious, totally out of line, I’ll do — but I think spas and beauty salons and tattoo parlors and barbershops in Phase 1 — we’re going to have Phase 2 very soon — is just too soon.”

Donald Trump’s Name will Appear on Your Economic Stimulus Check

For the first time in American history, the name of a president will appear on checks sent to Americans from the IRS.

According to a Washington Post report, Donald Trump’s name will be printed on the economic stimulus checks that will be distributed by the Internal Revenue Service to individuals to help mitigate losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The addition, which was ordered by the Treasury Department, is expected to delay the delivery of paper checks by several days, according to the Post, which cited unnamed senior agency officials. The phrase “President Donald J. Trump” will be printed in a memo line on the left side of the checks (most will total $1,200 for individuals), below a line that says “Economic Impact Payment.”

After the IRS adjusts its printing technology for this addition, tens of millions of Americans are expected to receive these checks in the mail in the coming weeks.

NBC News also confirmed the report Tuesday night.

The decision to add Trump’s name to the checks was reportedly finalized late Monday and announced to the IRS’s information technology team on Tuesday, the Post reported, citing a Treasury Department official.

Coronavirus Response Helps Sink Trump’s Approval Ratings

Maybe it’s the lies he tell, misleading Americans into thinking the we were immune to coronavirus, that the virus will never come to our borders. Or maybe it just the fact that Donald Trump is a terrible president. Whatever the reason, Americans are not liking Trump right now.

Donald Trump isn’t benefiting from what political scientists refer to as a “rally ‘round the flag” effect — a traditional surge in popularity as the nation unites behind its leader during an emergency situation.

Even as the country confronts the greatest disruption to daily life since World War II, a series of new polls released this week show Trump’s approval ratings plateauing in the mid-40s, roughly where his approval rating stood a month ago, before the coronavirus shuttered much of the nation’s economic and social activity.

In other words, public views of Trump’s leadership in the coronavirus crisis are now breaking down along familiar lines of polarization: Americans view his performance during the pandemic about the same way they view his performance generally.

Throughout the first three years of his presidency, Trump’s approval rating has traded in a narrow band. But his failure to unite the country behind his leadership also reflects Americans’ judgment of his handling of the outbreak thus far: In poll after poll this week, increasing percentages say they think Trump is doing a bad job, and his administration hasn’t done enough to protect citizens from the effects of Covid-19.
