[Politico] House Democrats exploded in anger Wednesday over Attorney General William Barr’s plans to roll out special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, accusing the Justice Department of trying to spin the report’s contents and protect President Donald Trump.
Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will hold a news conference at 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning to review the report, which will include redactions. Reports that DOJ officials have already discussed Mueller’s findings with the White House only further inflamed tensions.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Barr had "thrown out his credibility & the DOJ’s independence with his single-minded effort to protect @realDonaldTrump above all else."
"The American people deserve the truth, not a sanitized version of the Mueller Report approved by the Trump Admin," Pelosi wrote on Twitter while on an official trip in Ireland.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee hastily convened a news conference for Wednesday night in Chairman Jerry Nadler’s district in New York City to issue similar broadsides against Barr.
"I’m deeply troubled by reports that the WH is being briefed on the Mueller report AHEAD of its release," Nadler tweeted before the press conference. The New York Democrat added that DOJ informed him that Congress would not receive the report until around 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. Thursday. "This is wrong," Nadler added. "HEY! We control the narrative here! Don't confuse us with facts!"

For the last 2 years I've been told by the Democrats I have to accept the results of the Mueller investigation. Now they tell me, without even seeing it, It's not to be believed. I'm so confused.

Will you accept the results of the election?
Dems say yes with a shit-eating smile, but then don't accept the election results.
Will you accept the results of the Mueller report?
Dems salivate and say yes, and then don't accept the report.
I'm starting to see a pattern but I can't put my finger on it.
[DAILYWIRE] Democrats in the House of Representatives have started to reject and refund campaign donations from Rep. Ilhan Omar Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw... (D-MN) over Omar's anti-Semitism scandal and her recent trivialization of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Washington Free Beacon reported on Wednesday that the reelection campaign for Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) left a $2,000 contribution from Omar off its quarterly fundraising report, and, when pressed by the Free Beacon, admitted that they left the money off the report because they decided to reject it.
"McBath’s rejection of the donation is more important than it may sound," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. "The Sixth District has a significant Jewish population ‐ particularly in Sandy Springs and east Cobb County."
WSCO TV news hound Joe Bruno reported on Wednesday that Dan McCready (D-NC) also returned a $2,000 donation from Omar.
"Dan McCready has refunded a $2000 donation from Rep. Ilhan Omar," Bruno reported. "A spokesperson for McCready tells me Dan believes there is no place for divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... ness in politics and he didn't feel it was appropriate to accept the donation."
Omar raises $830k for reelection amid Trump backlash. Minnesota Democrat draws many out-of-state contributions, according to first quarter finance reports filed same week president said she is disrespectful to Israel and US.

So she has enough funding of her own that she can afford to spread the wealth.
That seems *very* unusual for a political candidate, especially one so new to the game. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess she is fueled by MusBro cash.
[FRONTPAGEMAG] Move over AOC! Just when you thought AOC (or her scriptwriter) was unbeatable. Just when you thought blather from public servants could not possibly become more daft. Just when you thought AOC’s throne atop the pinnacle was unreachable and her crown secure‐New Orleans’ Democrat mayor LaToya Cantrell (or her scriptwriter) lunges for the royal scepter.
You see, amigos: The Democrat mayor and a retinue of associated New Orleans city officials spent all of last week in Havana, Cuba to, in the mayors office’s own words:
"see firsthand how (Cuba’s) history has produced unique opportunities and challenges in the areas of economic development, trade, health care, education and other quality of life issues."
I realize this sounds like shameless AOC idiocy one-upsmanship. I realize that learning about "quality of life" from a place that saw multiple times as many desperate people die trying to escape it, as died trying to escape over the Berlin Wall, sounds like shameless click-bait, or even a Saturday Night Live or Monty Python skit. So here’s the proof.
In a way, however, the visit seems appropriate. After all, the rulers of one place drove out practically all productive residents with punitive socialist policies that converted a once charming and prosperous place into a huge slum except for a few tourism enclaves. The other place is named Cuba.
From Stalinist Cuba Democrat Cantrell dutifully performed all the traditional Democrat rituals mandatory for such visits, primarily hailing Cuba’s glorious "healthcare and education!"
"Mayor of New Orleans highlights Cuban achievements," crowed the totalitarian regime’s KGB-founded media:
"According to the Ms Cantrell, the level of the literacy in Cuba is very high, and when she compares this indicator with New Orleans, it is perceptible that there is much to learn from Cuba. She said the same thing happens when analyzing the primary health system, and stated that the U.S. city can take experiences in order to perfect their mother-child program."

First you need a Police State surrounded by a moat, barbed wire and armed guards to keep your citizens serfs from fleeing... Cuba has that and New Orleans does not, so epic fail on this plan.

"According to the Ms Cantrell, the level of the literacy in Cuba is very high, and when she compares this indicator with New Orleans, it is perceptible that there is much to learn from Cuba."
And in one sentence, Ms Cantrell is shown to be a Bernie fan.
Cubas duty free shops, however, will get a peek at Progressive Capitalism: "Help me stealtakeextortborrow inflate it away from someone else, and we can live live larg(er)."
[FOXNEWS] An expansive network of "shadowy" dark money donors has grown to rival the influence of the conservative Koch network -- pumping millions into left-wing causes ranging from health care to climate change to abortion -- all while flying well under the radar of public scrutiny, according to an explosive new report obtained by Fox News.
The report, by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center, describes a band of nonprofits operating under the banner of Washington-based philanthropy company Arabella Advisors. Those "pop up groups" are housed in four Arabella-controlled "sister" nonprofits, according to the report: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund and Windward Fund.
"Together, these groups form an interlocking network of 'dark money' pop-up groups and other fiscally sponsored projects, all afloat in a half-billion-dollar ocean of cash," the report says. "The real puppeteer, though, is Arabella Advisors, which has managed to largely conceal its role in coordinating so much of the professional Left’s infrastructure under a mask of ’philanthropy.’"
The report says the "hydra-like" network brought in $1.6 billion between 2013 and 2017 "to advance the political policies desired by wealthy left-wing interests," as the network’s revenues grew by 392 percent. The four Arabella-controlled "sister" groups brought in $582 million in 2017 alone, according to the report. If the four groups were a single entity, it would make them the 22nd largest public charity in America, with higher revenues than the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party. or the Clinton Foundation.
"The size and scope of the Arabella network of funds demonstrates far more ’dark money’ exists on the left side of the political spectrum than has been previously admitted," the report says.
Arabella’s website says the company was founded to "provide strategic guidance for effective philanthropy" and is "dedicated to helping clients make a difference on the issues that matter most to them, from climate to women and girls, education, good food, and more." All told, the company represents clients with collective assets totaling more than $100 billion.
But the report alleges the group blurs the line between philanthropy and political advocacy on issues such as ObamaCare, gun control, abortion and opposition to the confirmation of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. And it says that due to the financial arrangements and lack of donor disclosure, "it is impossible to know which organization subsidizes the various campaigns and political movements spawned by Arabella’s funds."

"Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16 (counts)," she wrote. "... Just because we can charge something doesn’t mean we should."

[BREITBART] While speaking to the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights on Sunday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) revealed she feels more Paleostinian in Congress now than she has ever felt anywhere else in the world ‐ including in Paleostine.
"You know, myself, Ilhan, and all of us, we watch that people are policing what we say," Tlaib told the attendees. "People are literally policing, ’What do you mean by that Rashida? Do you condemn this?’ I was like, ’I don’t know, did you condemn that?"
"Honestly, I’ve never felt more Paleostinian than I’ve ever felt in Congress ‐ even in Paleostine when I’m visiting my grandmother I’m more ... American," she continued. "But I’m more Paleostinian in the halls of Congress than I am anywhere in the country, in the world. And that just tells you, just the fact that they weren’t ready for us. They really weren’t. But we were ready for this."

She HATES Americans.
Trump needs to get the laws on Racism amended to include oikophobia (or a more preferred term).
[THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE] Sooner or later, they'll need to distance themselves from the radicalism of Ilhan Omar.

It's all relative. When you've moved yourself so far to one side of the political spectrum, they aint the preachers of radicalism, they're the common position of your group. When you build a party composed of various tribes based upon victimhood, one day they take charge of the party.

They won't. If they do well in 2020, they will think it is because of what they are doing. If they lose, they will think they need to double down and purge the moderates. (well... what they perceive as moderates)

The conservative always factor out all the dope smoked by the Democrats. You can not factor out the dope! They are stoned out of their same sex terrorist loving patriot hating friking minds every day!
