How do I reward whose who put their faith in my with "you're racis'" and avoid just hanging myself?
How do I reward those who say "I believe in you" with massive giveaways to Israel, yet not just move to some Palestinian's stolen farm in the middle east (as we are calling the stolen Palestinian territories) myself?
How do I admit I'm not jedi, and don't know what's going on.
Presumably you will treat me fairly once you learn I am not jedi? Huh? Just like you treat everyone else fairly? -

2021-05-13 at 2:40 AM UTCA guy named Miles Taylor, who I have no idea who he is, don’t remember ever meeting him or having a conversation with, gets more publicity pretending he was in the inner circle of our Administration when he was definitely not. Some people refer to him as “absolutely nothing.” I hear he is on CNN and MSDNC all the time, but he had nothing to do with any of my decisions, and I wouldn’t even know what he looks like. He is the guy who fraudulently wrote a make-believe book and statement to the failing New York Times calling himself “Anonymous.” That’s right, he, a lowlife that I didn’t know, was Anonymous. Now he’s putting together a group of RINOs and Losers who are coming out to protest President Trump despite our creating the greatest economy ever, getting us out of endless wars, rebuilding our Great Military, reducing taxes and regulations by historic levels, creating Space Force, appointing almost 300 Judges, and much, much more! He is a phony who will probably be sued over his fake book and fake “Anonymous” editorial, which caused so much treasonous stir. Miles Taylor and his fellow RINO losers like Tom Ridge, Christine Todd Whitman, and Crazy Barbara Comstock voted for Biden, and now look what they have—a socialist regime with collapsing borders, massive tax and regulation hikes, unrest in the Middle East, and long gas lines. He is even giving us men setting new records playing women’s sports. What a disaster for our Country it has been!

Palm Beach Police Have Reportedly Discussed Trump’s Possible Extradition If He’s Indicted
Ken Meyer
Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, FL are reportedly developing a contingency plan in case Donald Trump is indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance while the former president lives at Mar-a-Lago.
As the former president continues to wage war with his various political foes, Trump and his businesses are still under a grand jury investigation for multiple allegations of banking and tax fraud. This raises the possibility of Trump being extradited to New York if he’s charged with wrongdoing on these matters. Politico reports that Florida officials are holding discussions about what they would do in that scenario.
According to the report, Florida has an interstate extradition statute that would allow Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) “to intervene and even investigate whether an indicted ‘person ought to be surrendered’ to law enforcement officials from another state.” Trump and DeSantis are known to be allies, and the former has suggested that he would consider the governor as his running mate if he runs for president again — though DeSantis and Trump could also be formidable rivals to one another in 2024.
Politico’s report also noted that conversations about Trump’s extradition from Florida might be a moot point if the former president relocates to his property in Bedminster, NJ while Mar-a-Lago is closed for the season. This could actually have major legal repercussions for Trump, for even though New Jersey has a similar extradition statute, Governor Phil Murphy (D) is less likely than DeSantis to stand in the way of Vance’s out-of-state indictment. -

Influential Republicans detail call to reform party, threaten to form new one
Tal Axelrod
A group of influential Republicans on Thursday outlined their calls for reforms within the GOP as they threaten to form a rival party of their own.
A coalition of Republican and independent leaders released "A Call for American Renewal," urging "a principles-based vision for American leadership, as an alternative to the current direction of the Republican Party and growing extremism in the nation."
The group's platform is divided into 13 categories, starting with reforms that "make our system more accessible, transparent, and competitive, oppose the disenfranchisement of voters, and reject populism and illiberalism," a knock at efforts in several Republican-led states to restrict access to voting.
The coalition also tacitly rebuked ongoing unproven claims in the GOP that the November presidential election was fraudulent.
"We oppose the employment of fear-mongering, conspiracism, and falsehoods and instead support evidence-based policymaking and honest discourse," it stated.
The group's memorandum condemns "all forms of bigotry," demands that leaders "act with integrity and honor," advocates for a "pluralistic society" and reaffirms "the Constitution's guarantee of free speech and freedom of the press as essential to accountable government."
Among the signatories of the call are former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, former GOP Reps. Barbara Comstock (Va.) and Denver Riggleman (Va.), Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway and former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
"These principles are vital to our individual and collective flourishing, overcoming modern challenges, and preserving our way of life. They're a foundation to unite Americans from diverse backgrounds in common cause. Our nation is calling out for a new coalition of principled, pragmatic citizens to renew America and counter the partisanship and extremism infecting the country," said Evan McMullin, a former independent presidential candidate and an organizer of the effort.
News of the group's threat to form another party if Republicans do not break away for former President Trump was first reported earlier this week.
The organizers detailed the threat in their manifesto, saying it is their "intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative."
The group's announcement on Thursday comes as the GOP continues to grapple with the fallout of the November elections and Trump's repeated and false claims that the race was "stolen" from him. House Republicans Wednesday voted to boot Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her spot on House leadership because of her repeated criticism of Trump's assertions. -

More than 150 Republicans launch new political movement questioning Trump's role in GOP
By Daniella Diaz, CNN
A group of more than 150 Republicans, led by Donald Trump critics Evan McMullin and Miles Taylor, announced a new political movement that takes aim at former President Donald Trump's hold on the GOP and calls for a reform of the party.
The effort came hours after Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming was ousted from her Republican leadership position by her colleagues in the House for being outspoken about Trump's lie that the election was stolen from him, once again highlighting the former President's grip on the GOP and the challenge for the group's signers in seeking to reshape the party.
McMullin, who ran for president as an independent in 2016, and Taylor, who famously penned an anonymous book condemning the Trump administration, organized this effort and published a set of principles in the Deseret News on Thursday.
"Enough is enough and we need to offer a commonsense coalition for this country and a more unified alternative vision than what we're seeing from the present GOP, which has now become rotten to its core with its persistent attacks on our democracy," Taylor said on CNN's New Day Wednesday. "So our message is it's time to either reform or repeal the Republican Party."
In the set of principles, the group wrote they would "reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative."
"We seek the preservation and betterment of our democratic republic and the endurance of our self-government, free from interference and defended against all enemies, foreign and domestic," they wrote in their statement of principles. "We oppose the employment of fear-mongering, conspiracism, and falsehoods and instead support evidence-based policymaking and honest discourse."
This is not a third party, but a movement, said attorney George Conway, who is the husband of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and also part of the group.
"I don't think I would characterize it so much as a third party as a coalition. I don't think a third party necessarily works in the kind of political system we have with a single member districts," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night. "But there is a need for people who have a conservative to moderate point-of-view and want to believe in the rule of law and they need a place to go and a place where they can organize and support candidates that are consistent with that."
The list of Republicans who signed on includes former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, as well as 27 former members of the US House of Representatives, including Barbara Comstock, Charlie Dent and Paul Mitchell; and one former senator David Durenberger.
Other members of the group include former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci; former Department of Homeland Security official Elizabeth Neumann; and former DHS general counsel John Mitnick. -

Cheney on Trump: 'He's going to unravel the democracy to come back into power'
By Kristin Wilson and Daniella Diaz, CNN
Rep. Liz Cheney is outlining her next steps in the aftermath of her ousting from leadership, telling NBC, "I intend to be the leader, one of the leaders, in a fight to help to restore our party," and warning that former President Donald Trump is willing "to unravel the democracy to come back into power."
The Wyoming congresswoman, and now former House Republican Conference chair, also didn't rule out a run for president in the "Today" interview that aired Thursday morning, but she did confirm she will run for reelection for her US House seat next year.
Cheney said "silence is not an option" when speaking out against Trump, and she said admonishments from her fellow Republicans to move forward are not possible because the damage that the former president is causing is "an ongoing threat." The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney reiterated her assertion Wednesday that Trump cannot become president again.
"He's unfit," she said. "He never again can be anywhere close to the Oval Office."
"For reasons that I don't understand, leaders in my party have decided to embrace the former President who launched that attack," Cheney said. "And I think you've watched over the course of the last several months, the former President get more aggressive, more vocal, pushing the lie, and I think that's a really important thing for people to understand. This isn't about looking backwards. This is about the real-time current potential damage that he's doing, that he continues to do."
She added, "It's an ongoing threat, so silence is not an option."
Cheney lost her post in the House Republican leadership on Wednesday after publicly rejecting for months Trump's lie that he won the 2020 presidential election and calling out the former President for his role in inciting the January 6 deadly riot at the Capitol. The House GOP conference ousted Cheney by voice vote during a 16-minute meeting, and she's likely to be replaced by Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York.
Cheney said she is "very focused on making sure that our party becomes again, a party that stands for truth, and stands for fundamental principles that are conservative. And mostly stands for the Constitution and I won't let the former President or anybody else unravel the democracy. Whatever it takes."
She called the former President's hold on the party "very dangerous" and "a cult of personality."
"I think people were betrayed and misled by him," Cheney said. "It's a real betrayal. He's going to unravel the democracy to come back into power."
As for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Cheney said he is "not leading with principle right now" and called a recent visit to Mar-a-Lago to see the former President "stunning."
She also placed blame at the feet of McCarthy, a California Republican, saying he is "not leading with principle, and I think that is sad and I think it's dangerous."
Cheney pressed fellow Republicans to embrace a bipartisan January 6 commission to get to the truth of what happened on that day, and that "there should be no reason why there should be any resistance.
"There is real concern among a number of members of my own party about a January 6th commission, and I think, you know, I have been very public that that commission needs to be bipartisan. It needs to look only at January 6th and the events leading up to it. Not at the BLM and Antifa riots last summer. I think that intense, narrow focus threatens people in my party who may have been playing a role they should not have been playing," she said. "Each time we have something happen in this country that is that kind of a crisis, we have a commission, and there is no reason why there should be any resistance to doing so in this case."
When asked if she was now going to play the role of the opposition leader in exile in the Republican Party, Cheney said she intended to help restore her party, and "in a fight to make sure that we won't participate in a real dangerous effort that's underway."
But when pressed that she was now out of her leadership role, and that Trump seemed to be victorious in their recent skirmish and ascendant, Cheney quipped, "Actually, I'm in office and he's out of office." -

2021-05-13 at 4:22 PM UTCSally Yates: I never thought that I'd be saying, 'Yeah, go Liz Cheney'
By Devan Cole, CNN
Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates bemoaned House Republicans' decision to oust Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership post for challenging former President Donald Trump's lie that he won the 2020 presidential election, saying she never thought she'd cheer on the GOP congresswoman "for simply telling the truth."
"I never thought that I'd be saying, 'Yeah, go Liz Cheney.' But I am. And again, isn't it a sad commentary that we're cheering her on for simply telling the truth and for refusing to be silent when others are not?" Yates told CNN's David Axelrod on an episode of "The Axe Files" podcast released Thursday.
"She is being punished for telling the truth. And I certainly never thought our country would come to that," she added.
The comments from Yates, who was fired by Trump in the early days of his administration for refusing to defend a controversial immigration order from him, come a day after House Republicans voted to remove the Wyoming Republican from her position as chair of the House Republican Conference after publicly rejecting for months Trump's election lies.
In a wide-ranging interview with Axelrod, Yates discussed a number of issues, including hostility toward US institutions and the truth, the January 6 Capitol insurrection and police reform.
US institutions and the truth
Yates, who said in her interview that American institutions "are really the most important thing" in the country's democracy, told Axelrod that she's "never seen an all-out assault on institutions and certainly in the course of my lifetime, like we saw over the four years of the Trump presidency."
The GOP finally punishes someone for Jan 6 -- Rep. Liz Cheney for refusing to lie about it.
The former acting attorney general said that assault has now carried over into truth, with there being "an indifference to truth during part of that administration to outright hostility toward it now."
"And again, as I said, we can debate policies and we should, but it has to be based on a common set of facts, and the lack of any of even being loosely tethered to truth for some, I think is a really dangerous thing for our country," she said.
Capitol riot
Yates also offered a somber outlook on the deadly Capitol riot, saying that while it seemed like there was consensus around the fact that such an attack cannot happen again, that sentiment appears to have "dissipated" in the weeks following January 6.
"I will confess, I did not anticipate there that we would have a -- literally a violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6," Yates said.
She continued: "And I think all of us watched with horror that day at what was happening at our nation's Capitol with also a feeling of, OK, this has to be it. Regardless of where one is on the political spectrum, surely we can all agree that this can never happen again -- that this is going at the very bedrock of our democracy. And it seemed like that lasted for maybe a week or so. Maybe a little bit longer than that. And then even there it is dissipated now. We can't even unify around that."
Police reform
Weighing in on the recent conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd last year, Yates said she believes the US is "at an inflection point when it comes both to racial justice and specifically police reform."
"Again, none of this is new either. We've been struggling with these issues for not just years, but decades. But I think it has come to a point and it certainly came to the point with the Chauvin trial and with George Floyd where we all were confronted" with the video showing Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck, she said.
"While I think that verdict was essential for us going forward, it's certainly not sufficient. It was important to hold Chauvin responsible for his actions, but we've got more work that needs to be done systemically in police departments," Yates added. -

‘Bring it on’: Rep. Liz Cheney doesn’t rule out 2024 presidential run to block Trump return to White House
Dave Goldiner
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, a day after being ousted from House GOP leadership, vowed Thursday that she would do “whatever it takes” to keep former President Trump out of the White House — even if it means mounting her own presidential bid.
Cheney pointedly refused to rule out a White House run in 2024, a move that could make it very difficult for Trump or any other Republican to win.
“Whatever it takes,” Cheney told NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie. “He’s unfit. He never again can be anywhere close to the Oval Office.”
Cheney defiantly taunted her pro-Trump colleagues as the former president pushes to end her political career.
“Bring it on,” she said.
Cheney said she was “not surprised” by her Republican colleagues voting Wednesday to remove her as House Republican conference chair.
Convening behind closed doors, the Republicans needed less than 20 minutes to strip Cheney of her credentials by voice vote, a source told the Daily News.
“This is really about something that’s much, much bigger than the Republican conference in the House, “ she told Guthrie. “It’s a moment where we have to decide as a party whether we’re going to embrace the truth.”
Cheney was one of just 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over his role in the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol.
She has remained consistently critical of the ex-president and his claims of election fraud, a stance that has put her dramatically at odds with many of her GOP colleagues.
“This is the opening salvo in that battle, and it’s a battle we have to win,” Cheney said. “It’s not just about the Republican Party. It’s about the country.”
Cheney faces a certain primary challenge in the 2022 midterm elections. But the staunch conservative and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney suggested she is already thinking past the midterms.
“This isn’t about looking backwards. This is about the real-time, current potential damage that he’s doing, that he continues to do,” she said.
“It’s an ongoing threat. So silence is not an option.” -
2021-05-13 at 7:30 PM UTCThey keep calling him unfit, but don't offer even a scrap of evidence to support their wild conspiracy theories. I'd have to say the ones who really are unfit are the ones who intentionally lied about the Russians for four years and pushed two bogus impeachment efforts.
