Bill Barr tried to undermine the Stormy Daniels case that brought down Michael Cohen in SDNY: report Attorney General Bill Barr directed Justice Department officials to draft legal memos undermining the campaign finance hush money case that brought down Michael Cohen and implicated President Donald Trump, according to a report Thursday in the New York Times. That effort failed, the report said, because prosecutors resisted. And since the case was finished — and Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 — there wasn’t a whole lot Barr could do to affect the case. https://www.alternet.org/2020/06/bill-barr-tried-to-undermine-the-stormy-daniels-case-that-brought-down-michael-cohen-in-sdny-report/

A definitive statement on the NASCAR incident: NASCAR Releases Photo of Bubba Wallace Garage Pull, Defends ‘Hate Crime’ Accusation via NASCAR NASCAR released an image of the garage pull found in African-American driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage after investigators determined that there was no hate crime involved. The rope, which was tied as a noose, had been there since at least October 2019, before Wallace took the garage, the FBI concluded. Wallace, appearing on CNN Tuesday evening, said he had never seen a garage pull tied in that manner. Several people on social media have accused Wallace of faking the incident but Wallace said he did not see the noose or file the report.

Its good that someone fears illiteracy.

Trump puts more distance between himself and reality.

And the Trump admisitration has started to halt funding for Covid testing. Nothing short of insane and sociopathic.

Three North Carolina Cops Fired After Being Caught on Tape Talking About ‘Slaughtering’ Black People Reuters / Carl Recine Three police officers from Wilmington, North Carolina, have been fired after they were caught on tape using racist slurs and discussing plans to “slaughter” Black people in another civil war. The Washington Post reports that the cops—Officer Michael Piner, Cpl. Jesse Moore, and Officer James Gilmore—were accidentally recorded talking in their patrol cars, with audio revealing Piner predicting that Black Lives Matter protests would lead to civil war. “I’m ready,” Piner said, adding that he’d buy an assault rifle. “We are just going to go out and start slaughtering them ******* [n-----s,]” he said. For his part, Moore can be heard describing a local Black female court official as a “******* N*gro magistrate” along with a gay slur. When confronted with the recording, Moore and Gilmore somehow insisted they were “not racist,” with Moore saying he was just “feeding off Officer Piner.” Announcing the firing of the officers, Wilmington Police Chief Donny Williams, who is Black, called the recordings “brutally offensive.”

The inmates are truly running the asylum.

There were Jews in Hitler's Germany that sided with him, French who worked with the SS in France and British (mostly the nobility) who welcomed any German invasion. There will always be those who seek to profit from selling out their kind.

Lindsey Graham breaks with Trump over Obama attack: "I don’t know what he’s talking about" Graham rejects Trump’s claim Obama is guilty of treason. In a recent interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, President Donald Trump was asked specifically what crime President Barack Obama committed as part of the vague conspiracy narrative the president calls "Obamagate." Trump responded, "treason." But on Tuesday, Politico reported that the president's staunchest Republican allies in the Senate aren't willing to back him up on this — including Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "I don't know what he's talking about," said Graham. "I don't have any evidence to believe he committed treason." https://www.salon.com/2020/06/24/lyndsey-graham-breaks-with-trump-over-obama-attack-i-dont-know-what-hes-talking-about_partner/

LORD HELP US: GOP House Candidate Insists George Floyd Killing Was Staged Winnie Heartstrong has put out a 23-page document laying out a series of incoherent conspiracy theories about Floyd’s death. She’s likely to be the party’s nominee. A Republican House candidate in Missouri has published her own half-baked report claiming that the video of George Floyd’s death—which has sparked nationwide protests to end the racial inequities in the criminal-justice system—is, in fact, a staged “false flag.” Winnie Heartstrong, a candidate running for the St. Louis congressional seat held by Lacy Clay (D-MO), has pushed conspiracy theories about Floyd’s death for nearly a month on Twitter. In late May, a video featuring Heartstrong claiming that “George Floyd is alive” circulated among far-right Twitter accounts and received more than 100,000 views.

Trump should righfully fear being judged on the content of his character.

Trump and his campaign continue to unravel and beat the drums of racism and lies.

According to the report, that "noose/loop" had been hanging there for some time, but NOBODY noticed it. Seems very unlikely to me.

Suuure.....that's it.......

Fauci Denies White House Ordered Test Slowdown Denials from a slew of top officials suggested the president was in, fact, making a strange joke about sabotaging testing in Tulsa—despite his insisting that he doesn’t “kid.” In a testament to the absurdity of the disastrous American response to the coronavirus pandemic, some of the top public health experts in the country on Tuesday denied having been ordered to decrease testing efforts that might help fight the deadly outbreak. “None of us have ever been told to slow down on testing, that just is a fact. In fact, we will be doing more testing,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Dr. Birx Contradicts Trump, Privately Tells Govs To Increase COVID Testing Her encouragement comes as governors concede to the feds that people are not abiding by their phased down public health guidelines. Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force, told the nation’s governors in a call Monday that it was vital that they ramp up testing to find asymptomatic individuals to prevent further community spread. Her remarks stood in stark contrast to those by the president at his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma over the weekend—and the days since—in which he said he had asked his team to slow-walk testing initiatives so as not to inflate the country’s official case count. (Where's the WTF emoji when you need it?)

We still need a WTF emoji here.
