Senator angered Democrats allowed to go to college and church, work in government agencies​

"U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is angered Democratic voters are allowed to go to church, college, and be employed by those institutions and even the federal government, saying they have "infiltrated" these essential areas of American life and many others.​

An elections and COVID conspiracy theory promotor, Senator Johnson, appearing on far-right-wing talk show host Mark Levin's Sunday night Fox News show, declared, "what this entire election is about is fighting for freedom."

It's a common refrain for the Wisconsin Republican who infamously spent the Fourth of July in 2018 in Moscow, "posing for propaganda photos with Russian officials" as The Washington Post's Dana Milbank noted at the time, while posting a tweet for his American constituents proclaiming, "What does July 4th mean to me? Freedom."

Milbank observed Johnson's Moscow visit came on "the same day it was reported in Britain that two more people had been poisoned by a Russian nerve agent British officials say came from Vladimir Putin’s regime. On the day after the Senate Intelligence Committee affirmed the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump."

WATCH!:

Louis O. Giuffrida - Wikipedia​

en.wikipedia.org
"Louis Onorato "Jeff" Giuffrida (October 2, 1920 – November 20, 2012) was the Ronald Reagan administration's first director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency from 1981 to 1985.
....He had a lengthy career in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of colonel in 1968.

As originally reported by Alfonso Chardy in a newspaper article in the Miami Herald, July 5, 1987, at the US Army War College, Giuffrida wrote a thesis outlining a military plan for the forcible relocation of millions of black Americans to concentration camps in the event of a national emergency involving racial strife. This is debatable as the thesis referenced below states it would take 14 years to relocate them forcibly. The thesis appears to refer to 500K self-described militants (see page 38) being relocated. On page 41, he appears to question whether this is even realistic. Much of the thesis appears to be devoted to the history of racism and concludes that the treatment of blacks in the army offers a positive example to society (see pages 1 and 47) Prior to September 2014 the Miami Herald article was the only publication to share details about Giuffrida's thesis.

In 1971 he left the Army and organized the California Specialized Training Institute for then California Governor Reagan. ..."

McConnel is a real bastard and a huge reason there will never be unity.

Conservatives have no reputation for helping the helpless, they shoot down any means of protecting the vulnerable in this country. Hippocrates all of you.

What you're known for is wanting a Christian Nation run by white males while the rest of us get your imposed bullshit.

Your true colors have shown bright this year, I doubt many want you in any position of power because you've all proven what you'll do to us with it.

Bye Bye Bye

Christian nationalists will murder a lot of people if they get into power.

Honestly, it really doesn't matter what Progressives think. Liberals rightly rule the left and put up with the Progressives, Socialists and Communists because we need them until MAGA and the rest of the GOP can be stamped out. Then, when we Liberals have control of everything, we will finally get rid of the other three menaces. Probably starting with the Progressives, as they are just so friggin' annoying.....

Racists employ a generalized "left" as a boogeyman. One needs a supernatural adversary when one's politics are fear and hate.

"The President Was ... Working in a Filing Room" - emptywheel

Back in February, Trump tried to lead the public to believe 15 boxes returned to the Archives were full of junk like newspapers and magazines. They were! But amidst all that, there were classified documents stripped of their classified cover sheets.

"..I’d like to look at the two statements he put out in February, the one that might be that second post, and the one that is included in the affidavit but was illegible in the rendering of it on PACER. Here’s the first one:



The first attacks Maggie Haberman’s story about flushing documents (but is limited just to White House toilets; she has since reported he flushed stuff while traveling as well).

It also falsely claims that “the papers were given easily and without conflict and on a very friendly basis.” Whatever the seven redacted paragraphs in the affidavit about the fight to get the documents back includes, it would show that that claim was utterly false.

But the statement does claim that “I have been told I was under no obligation to give this material back based on various legal rulings.” We know Trump was told this after the documents were returned. As CNN reported, Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton was telling Trump just that, citing a ruling pertaining to Bill Clinton.

Not long after the National Archives acknowledged in February that it had retrieved 15 boxes of presidential records from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump began fielding calls from Tom Fitton, a prominent conservative activist.
Fitton, the longtime head of the legal activist group Judicial Watch, had a simple message for Trump — it was a mistake to give the records to the Archives, and his team should never have let the Archives “strong-arm” him into returning them, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Those records belonged to Trump, Fitton argued, citing a 2012 court case involving his organization that he said gave the former President authority to do what he wanted with records from his own term in office.
The Judicial Watch president suggested to Trump that if the Archives came back, he should not give up any additional records, according to sources with knowledge of their conversations, which have not been previously reported.
While Trump continued to publicly tout his cooperation with the Archives, privately the former President began obsessing over Fitton’s arguments, complaining to aides about the 15 boxes that were handed over and becoming increasingly convinced that he should have full control over records that remained at Mar-a-Lago, according to people with knowledge of his behavior at the time.
Trump even asked Fitton at one point to brief his attorneys, said a person familiar with the matter.
“The moment Tom got in the boss’ ear, it was downhill from there,” said a person close to the former President, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.

If Trump’s statement was a reference to Fitton’s advice, it may suggest that advice started even before the Archives publicly confirmed returning the documents (or that Fitton immediately got inside Trump’s head)..."

Women​

Women came to the fore in the Progressive era and proved their value as social workers. Jane Addams of Chicago was only the most prominent of many leaders. The woman suffrage movement was a key part of Progressivism. It started in the west (with California giving the women the vote in 1912 after several smaller states), and moved east. It was opposed by ethnic machines in the northeast and traditionalists in the South, but finally became law by Constitutional amendment (the 19th) in August 1920.

Progressive Era - Conservapedia

Women made good social workers for the progressives back in the day. It appears they understood their place amongst the elitist assholes. Good for them, I guess...

Oh look, more meaningless sputtering from the liars at Conservapedia.

the bottom line conservatives would be progressives but they just cannot get over their fear of colored people, gay people and people of other religions.......

You can add women to that list now.
Republican women are dropping off like flies after their latest stunt on abortion.
