Instead of posting, I suggest you actually read the article. It's not just talking Minnesota, although that state IS considered blue. It's talking the entire rust belt.

And I’m telling you that the rust belt and Bible Belt don’t define all the considerations we need to make as we move forward ....

Tough love but those folks need to realize that extraction industries and low margin manufacturing are so 30-50 years ago and that they need to get with the new century as states like ours do.

And this is why 77% of Americans are now polling against fake news.

Oh stop it.

Everything I told you over a year ago about Russian troll farms , FB etc

Is TRUE.

Why do you think this isn’t true? It’s so in character for the Trump family circus isn’t it ?

Trump family = new GOP prototype for “great Americans “ correct ?

Of course not. But, they are dismissed out of hand by the Coastal Elite who knows what's good for them. Called out as racists, backcountry inbreds, deplorables....then you come asking for their votes. When that doesn't happen, you're shocked and go yelling at the sky about it.

Let me clean that up a bit.

Andrew McCarthy

Rosenstein assigned Mueller to conduct a counterintelligence investigation, which is not a sound basis for appointing a special counsel; the regulations require grounds for a criminal investigation.



The Deficiencies of Rosenstein’s Order Appointing Mueller

To recap, Rosenstein appointed Mueller on May 17, 2017, days after President Trump’s botched firing of FBI director James Comey — a debacle in which the administration’s conflicting explanations for the director’s removal, coupled with the president’s reprehensible comments about Comey for the consumption of Russian diplomats he hosted at the White House, intensified Democratic calls for a special counsel.

From the outset, I protested that Rosenstein’s order appointing Mueller violated governing special-counsel regulations. They make the trigger for such an appointment the existence of a “criminal investigation of a person or matter,” which some conflict of interest prevents the Justice Department from conducting in the normal course — requiring that an attorney from outside the U.S. government be assigned to conduct the criminal investigation (see 28 CFR Sections 600.1 and 600.3). To the contrary, Rosenstein’s order disclosed no basis for a criminal investigation and indicated no crimes that had allegedly been committed.

Instead, the deputy attorney general assigned Mueller to conduct a counterintelligence investigation. To wit, Rosenstein defined the probe as “the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017.” In that testimony, Comey had quite explicitly confirmed a counterintelligence probe: “I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election”

Significantly, there is a natural symmetry between the grounds for appointing a special counsel and those for requiring the recusal of top Justice Department officials. It is the latter that gives rise to the former. I had thus argued that Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s recusal from the Russia investigation was premature and too sweeping. As the attorney general acknowledged, the recusal matter was controlled by 28 CFR Section 45.2. But that regulation similarly states that disqualification is necessary only if there is a criminal investigation or prosecution as to which a prosecutor has a conflict of interest.

Since the Russia investigation was a counterintelligence investigation, I contended that Sessions could have declined to recuse. There was a caveat: In the event the Russia counterintelligence probe turned up evidence of crimes that would warrant criminal investigations, Sessions — because of his prominent role in the Trump campaign — would likely have to recuse himself from those investigations, on a case-by-case basis (e.g., if criminal charges were brought against Michael Flynn, as ultimately happened).


Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein is to be commended for attempting to rectify the deficiencies in his original special-counsel appointment order by issuing a memo that amplifies Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s jurisdiction to conduct criminal investigations. Rosenstein’s explanation for the timing of the memo (ten weeks after the appointment order) is not very convincing, and the extensively redacted form in which it has been released means the memo raises more questions than it answers. Suffice it to say, we remain uninformed regarding the government’s basis for alleging that “collusion” with Russia resulted in potential crimes warranting investigation; and we still do not know if the Justice Department alleges that President Trump is a criminal suspect — and, if so, in what crime.

Rosenstein Memo confirming Mueller could investigate Manafort came a week after raid on Manafort’s home

https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/0...anaforts-home/

Post hoc justification for Mueller conduct that does not appear authorized by the text of the original May 17 appointing Order.

"Paul Manafort has moved to have the October 27, 2017 Indictment, and subsequent Superseding Indictment, dismissed on the ground, among others, that Robert Mueller has exceeded the authority granted him on May 17, 2017, when he was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The argument is that the indictment of Manafort for business dealings is unrelated to and took place years before 2016 Russian election interference and alleged collusion."

That is really weak, isn’t it. Just get down on your knees and beg.

I hate that Trump has the entire world laughing at the US and pushing us around .

Local dc press talking about fact that Hope Hicks left because she was caught Sexting with Jarad. Single guys won’t cut it for her after Lewandowski apparently .

Princess ivanka and Jarad on the outs as a result.

Trump probably happy to get ivanka back from Jarad

Vanity Fair had a long piece on what Ivanka will do when Jarod goes down - chose daddy or her husband?

Hicks was dating wife beater Rob Porter. Trump definitely didn't want her to leave so something must have gone down

Trump trade war and budget cuts hurt many in his base. At some point their continued or worsening suffering and failed promises like border walls and repeal ACA will cause many to turn on him

Maybe he could tell them to "cut it out". That always proves effective.

So, you want a state who blatantly comes out and says they won't enforce federal laws, but then sticks there hand out, to be treated equally?

'eff off is right.

Yes .

Excellent!

Isn’t that what “March for our Lives” is wanting? Are you aware that your attacks on Fl teenagers will actually stand in the way of your ^^^ stated goal.

Seriously. If you favor universal background checks why side with NRA while calling out these kids? They’ve made more progress than anyone before them.

Please consider whether this is another instance of hating libs and therefore hurting positions you claim to believe in
