Corrupt Black Caucus POS (BIRM). Next up? Maxine?
[10 News] Former Rep. John Conyers, a longtime Michigan Democrat who represented parts of Detroit for more than 50 years before his resignation in 2017, died Sunday, his son, John Conyers III, told CNN.
John James Conyers, Jr. was born in Highland Park, Michigan on May 16, 1929.
He graduated from Detroit's Northwestern High School, served in the Korean War and went on to law school.
He initially turned down a job in the office of longtime Congressman John Dingell, but then realized his mistake and pleaded for a second chance.
"He listened to me go through all this and put his arm around me and said let's go down to Sanders and have a milk shake and that started me off working in his office," Conyers remembered.
Conyers became active in the civil rights movement before making his own first bid for Congress and picked up some powerful support.
"I was endorsed by Martin Luther King, Jr. at Central United Methodist Church," he remembered.
He often said he was flattered to be the only member of Congress endorsed by Dr. King.
Conyers held on to his seat even as district lines were redrawn. He held positions of leadership on powerful committees and was the only member of the Judiciary Committee to take part in the impeachment hearings of both Presidents Nixon and Clinton.
The congressman also played a major role in more than 100 pieces of key legislation, including the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.
In 1968, 4 days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Conyers introduced the original bill for a King holiday. He kept pushing, and 15 years later, it was signed into law.

As sated, Biden will pull over a white girl and he doesn't need a police car to do it. He's to chicken shit to even do a ride along in a police car.
[Red State] President Donald Trump was triumphant in announcing the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Among other remarks, Trump described the event, "He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way."
Apparently descriptions like that were too much for former Obama CIA deputy director Mike Morell.
While he praised the action on "Face the Nation," he and criticized Trump’s response, according to the Washington Examiner.
"You don’t want a locker room kind of feel to this," said Morell. "That was the one thing we worked really hard on after the bin Laden raid, is don’t make those kinds of statements, because it does inspire other people."
Morell, who was widely expected to become Hillary Clinton’s CIA director if she had won the 2016 election, said it was troubling that Trump said he wanted to show footage of Baghdadi’s death to deter his followers.
"I think it’s all right to say we used DNA matching to figure out that it was him," said Morell. "But to actually talk about body parts and actually bringing them back with us, right, so that we have them here with us I think is going too far."

Yes Mr. Morrell, virtually anything the Orange Man would say would fall under your rubic of... "troubling."
Do I also sense some misgivings about a DoD 'Tier One' success story? Did they perhaps, use organic intelligence assets and capabilities ?
#2
I think the trend to mealymouth approach to serious human conflict began when they renamed the old War Department to the Department of Defense. War is destructive and evil but far less than slavery and servitude. Don't do it if you can avoid, but if you must, don't hold back. Fuzzy thinking and language is what has gotten us into endless war.
#5
I think what he said and the way he said it was pitch perfect. Keep the whole audience in mind. Moslems absolutely detest dogs and any people who keep, like or tolerate them. The intense visual imagery that President Trump used in the announcement is going to hit them where it hurts.
They will carry the image of their boy being run down by a weaponized American military dog while using his own children as human shields, crying and wailing for mercy all the while.
If the words of the enemy are so very important to these DC sages, perhaps they should reconsider bin Laden's comments about 'strong horses'. Islam is so very anxious to take the world back to the 6th century? Well, the Donald was only too happy to oblige, with the noxious, serial raping shite stain thrown to American dogs. I like it.
#8
I suppose it was troubling for some when Churchill called Hitler "Corporal Schicklgruber". Maybe Trump should send Baraq on another Middle East tour so he can apologize for the killing of a murdering terrorist.

Disrespectful? B.S. Bagdhdadi was a worthless POS and a coward. Morrell has always struck me as a narcissistic moron who talks too much and likes to see his picture on TV.

And don't expect us to give him a burial within the three day period either. Our doctors get to pick through his remains before tossing them into the garbage.

Said when they can't celebrate a victory for the country because it might shine a positive light on the president for a day or two. And folks question their patriotism.
h/t Instapundit. The f*cking headline makes this little conformist f*ck sound like a hero instead of an establishment hack.
[NBCNews] One man is an island: Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah.
The 72-year-old former Republican presidential nominee has isolated himself from Republicans in the Senate, in his home state and across the country by occasionally ‐ but strongly ‐ criticizing President Donald Trump, including the president's efforts to enlist the aid of foreign governments to probe a leading political opponent.
"By all appearances, the President's brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling," Romney tweeted earlier this month.
In recent weeks, the senator's acts of rebellion against the commander in chief have been flagrant: from publicly confirming "Pierre Delecto" as the secret identity he used to counter Trump on Twitter to bashing Trump's Syria policy on the Senate floor to positioning himself on the front edge of any move by GOP lawmakers to break away and either censure the president or vote to remove him from office if the House follows through with impeachment.
#1
I'm sorry to say I voted for Pierre Delecto when he ran against Obummer. I regret I didn't know better at the time (went for the evil of two lessers) and write in my pooch. He had much more character.
#4
Hindsight is 20-20 (or there abouts) As bad a Bath House was, I often wonder if McSssssschtain and Mittens would not have been worse. I'm going to guess a traitor is more unpalatable than an enemy pretending to be my friend.

M.Murcek, my campfire had the same conversation and conclusion.
[Townhall] ...And those who want to see Trump removed wouldn’t just need a simple majority, something that could be obtained even without the votes of RINO squishes like Romney, Collins, and Murkowski, but a SUPER majority, or 67 senators. In other words, 20, yes 20 Republican senators would have to defect and vote to remove Trump in order to make it happen.
So we’re safe, right? ... Right??
Uh, not so fast! At least that’s what embattled Trump confidante Roger Stone says, warning Trump via a Friday media interview to take the ongoing impeachment inquiry "very seriously" and not to assume an automatic Senate acquittal.
The former Trump associate speculated that "wobbly Republican senators" could vote against the president unless pressure from their constituents is brought to bear.
...Stone said the notion that anything in Washington these days is simply "Republicans vs Democrats" is "outdated thinking."
"This is insiders versus an outsider," he said. "This is the status quo versus a disruptor."
So, is Stone onto something here? I sure would love to say no way, that is if my Daily Caller colleagues hadn’t contacted EVERY SINGLE Republican Senate office just last week to ask them if they would rule out impeaching and removing Trump from office. Out of 53 senators, how many do you think responded in the affirmative?
Twenty? Thirty?
How about ... seven. Sure the voters will butcher them afterwards - but are they un-delusional enough to grasp this?
[Politico! - I KNOW!] Freshman Rep. Katie Hill is resigning from Congress after facing allegations of inappropriate sexual relationships with staffers in her office and on her congressional campaign, according to two Democratic sources.
"It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community and our country," Hill wrote in a letter announcing the news after it was first reported by POLITICO.
"This is what needs to happen so that the good people who supported me will no longer be subjected to the pain inflicted by my abusive husband and the brutality of hateful political operatives who seem to happily provide a platform to a monster who is driving a smear campaign built around cyber exploitation," she added. "I will, however be represented in my future career by my Attorney, Mike Avenatti, for marital advice and 'yoga' videos"
Hill did not specify a date in her letter but multiple people with knowledge of her plans said she could step aside as soon as Nov. 1.
Hill was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of an improper sexual relationship with a male congressional staffer, a claim she denied. Hill admitted to and apologized for an "inappropriate" relationship with a female campaign staffer earlier this week.

^ Drug Dealer?
Or is this POS also in on the Dems' grand mindf--- whereby every one of their hysterical accusations against Trump, his campaign or his appointees turns out to be an actual crime that his opponents have committed?
[Britbart] Host Jake Tapper asked, "What do you make of the president’s‐ he painted a very vivid picture of al Baghdadi dying a very cowardly death, which I don’t doubt for a second, a lot of these terrorists are cowards. It was very vivid. He talked about him crying and whining, detonating his vest, killing his three children while he did so. I don’t doubt it, they’re monsters, but is there any concern on your part because now there is a question what ISIS will do in response to this move, in response perhaps to the president’s rhetoric. Does that concern you at all in terms of galvanizing or motivating isis terrorists?" Feelings, Comfort levels, likes, dislikes, emotions...WTF? Sorry Jake, I'm completely 'Out of Schlitz.' Have been for several years now.
Thornberry replied, "It probably makes me a little uncomfortable to hear a president talking that way. Again Baghdadi was the inspirational leader for the ISIS network across the world from Africa to Southeast Asia. If you can take a little bit of the glamour off him and make him less inspirational, there is a value to that for all of these folks who are on their computers or in these networks looking to attack." Saying he died a cowardly death imparts glamour to it? Remember, this is a Texas Cong Pub saying this. In case you're wondering if anything will change with a GOP win next year.
#3
The people complaining about what Trump said are confused. To his jihadi followers, Baghdadi is a glorious martyr, nothing else. They aren't talking about him being pathetic and humiliated. I wouldn't be surprised if a jihadi could get killed for talking like that.

Entirely believable. In those last few fleeting WTF moments, many have been heard screaming into their cellies. Generally doesn't bode well for the fellow on the other end either as I recall.
#5
Being from his district, I can tell you this: he was a mundane Amarillo lawyer without notable intellect or accomplishment, first elected as a place holder in deeply Republican district. Slowly rose to committee chair through seniority alone. Has chosen now to retire, thanks be; hope someone with a pulse will replace.
#6
Baghdadi was using his 3 kids as human shields so the troops wouldn't shoot at him. He blew himself and his children when a dog was sent take him down.
#11
Terror is about marketing and PR as much as racking up bodies. I believe Trump understands this in a way that whiny-ass bitches on both sides of the do not.
#14
Okay, I looked at the video of Thornberry. He makes me feel Uncomfortable! That said Muddy never made me feel uncomfortable. It’s must be his bald head and snake oil salesman look.
#15
This man sounds like every faggot fuck that stands by and lets things happen because he'd 'rather not piss off the aggressor'. Like the kind of people who teach 'retreat' first in fight class.
[FOXNEWS] President Trump said Sunday morning that he did not tell House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... about the U.S. military raid in Syria that resulted in the death of ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi because he was worried about leaks that could have compromised the mission.
Vice President Mike Pence said this was not an indication of a lack of trust. Riiiiiiggghht
When asked if he notified Pelosi beforehand, Trump said he did not because he did not want any members of the U.S. forces to die.
"No, I didn’t. I didn’t do that. I wanted to make sure this kept secret," Trump said. "I don’t want to have people lost." He knows they'd have thrown the troops' safety to the wind if it scored some cheap news and political points *spit*
Pelosi issued a statement after al-Baghdadi's death was announced, criticizing Trump for not informing leaders in Congress beforehand.
"The House must be briefed on this raid, which the Russians but not top Congressional Leadership were notified of in advance, and on the Administration’s overall strategy in the region," Pelosi said. "Our military and allies deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership from Washington."
Trump said that he did notify Russia beforehand that the U.S. would be active in the region, because Russia currently has a presence there. The president said he did not reveal the purpose of the mission.
Pence downplayed Trump’s decision to keep Pelosi in the dark in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" immediately following Trump’s address. The vice president claimed that Trump did not mean to say he did not trust the House Speaker.

Are the Democratic House leaders secure, probably... but why risk it? Are their aides reliable... doubtful. Is the IT network that those charming Pakistani IT engineers worked on secure, doubtful ... why risk it?
#2
Congress can't be trusted. As a group, they are a very poor risk. Loose lips sink ships still applies. A briefing to a congressman in world war 2 had him blabbing about Japanese depth charges set to go off too shallow had the Japanese resetting the depth charge settings deeper.
10 subs and 800 sailors lost because of his big mouth. That's why, Nancy.

This is surely a joke.
The Democratic Party + their administrative Deep State friends aren't leakers; they're a SIEVE.
Info they get passes directly to their pals - spouses, mistresses, f-buddies in some cases - at NYT WaPo CNN-MSNBC-ABC-CBS-NBC-Politico-Buzzfeed.
This isn't opinion or spin; this is fact.
Glenn Simpson said it all: "hack that I am."
Stop whining, bitches. Just admit it: you declared war on this president. Leaking is what you do by default. It's not even "leaking," as you see it; it's more like pissing. You e been pissing on this POTUS from before Day One of his presidency.

This congress is all but one thing. A great big giant piece of shit.
Pearls to swine is out as an option with the dirty, nasty, filthy, democrats.
If you were not such leaches and shitty human beings, you could be part of the plan instead of the destructor of ANY plan.
So Fuck off Pelosi, you worthless government grifter from hell, and all your flying monkeys too., You have nothing at all to do with the survival of this Nation or it's preservation.

After the Ukraine thing, I'd be surprised if he let them know if an alien invasion was coming. The House is clearly a separate, parallel govt for now; functioning through proxies trying to usurp elected executive power. A kangaroo council.

These are people who think nothing of sending and storing classified info using private, unsecured email servers.
People whose spouses use those exact same servers to send naked photos of themselves to strangers -- to children, as well as to honeypot / entrapping women.
People who commission and pay Ukrainian and other foreign agents for outlandish lies and nonsense under the guise of "opposition research" about their rivals.
And you morons want us to trust you with details of special ops against terrorists?
#11
Makes me laugh that the Dems are complaining of how its unprecedented not to inform the gang of 8 (or whatever they are called) on this type of thing while simultaneously carrying out an unprecedented behind closed doors/not vote impeachment.
Act like a traitor don't be surprised when you are treated like a traitor. I just wish we treated modern traitors the way we once did, then i wouldn't be seeing Jane Fonda in the news these days.
[CBSNEWS] Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar Senatrix from Minnesota, candidate for the Dem presidential 2020 nomination. You can tell the kind of husband a boy will make by the way he treats his mother. You can tell the kind of leader a politician will make by the way he treats his staff. Klobuchar is reportedly overbearing, snide, and dictatorial with her people. She see this as merely getting the best from them. Her name spelled backward in the Russian alphabet would be "Rachubolk," which sounds pretty daggone suspicious... , a Democratic candidate for president, conceded that the U.S. special forces operation over the weekend that led to the death of ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... founder and leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, represents a political victory for President Trump. But she stressed that she believes Mr. Trump's foreign policy ‐ which has veered from both traditional Republican and Democratic orthodoxy ‐ has been filled by consequential mistakes. "Get me a salad. And a fork comb!"
"Look, I have in the past, for instance, when the president made the decision to respond to Assad's use of sarin gas, I commended him for that decision," Klobuchar said on "Face the Nation" Sunday. "But just because you make some decisions ‐ and you must as a commander in chief and you must make those decisions for the security of this country ‐ doesn't mean that his foreign policy overall has not been a disaster."
#2
Trump's economic policy is also a disaster despite record low unemployment numbers, big trade agreement resets that fix some long-standing problems, and manufacturers bringing production back home. All this winning, simply awful!
[BREITBART] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... snubbed President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... when issuing a congratulatory statement on Sunday upon news that U.S. forces had killed ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
"I congratulate our special forces, our intelligence community, and all our brave military professionals on delivering justice to the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," the former vice president said shortly after the White House announced it had successfully killed the ISIS leader during an overnight raid in Syria. "It is thanks to their courage and relentless determination to carry out their mission that ISIS has suffered a vital loss."
Biden, in his short statement, followed the trend of other presidential candidates, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... (D-VT) and former Housing Secretary Julian Castro, by not once mentioning Trump. The snub came despite the fact that Trump gave the order to go after al-Baghdadi, who led ISIS since 2014 and was responsible for most of the group’s terrorist activities in the past few years.
But that’s a good thing, you silly person — it makes it so much more efficient to find and whack the moles.
[TOWNHALL] Before President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... 's presser on Sunday confirming the death of ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... leader Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi, former National Intelligence Director James Clapper appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" to discuss what he was hoping to hear the president say.
One of the biggest things Clapper was interested in was seeing "the contributions the intelligence community made" that lead to al-Baghdadi's death.
He admitted "taking down" al-Baghdadi has "huge symbolic meaning," especially because he has been a target for quite some time.
But Clapper warned the move could "galvanize" the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... "What is going to be interesting is to the extent to which this negatively affects ISIS or does it galvanize ISIS, the remnants of ISIS, which still survives as an ideology and has franchises in other places besides Syria," he explained.
As somebody who once worked at an American Fortune 50 where being "Galvanized" was supposed to be something to strive for ... well when push came to shove it wasn't worth the certificate paper it was printed upon. Clapper might consider that some words have different meanings to some citizens.

This would be that small subset of the intelligence community that was busy doing their job and not trying to overthrow America.

Now that Mr. Clapper is no longer working there, the details are no more his business than the rest of us plebs, and to tell him would be breaking OPSEC. Really, he should know better than to get his former people in trouble like that.

I could, but I doubt they would be able to do much after running out on the flat and seconds later being perforated by 30mm depleted uranium rounds.

Let's stop and consider for a moment, could ISIS be anymore ISIS than they already are? If they really had tons of guys here in the US ready to go, why would they already not be attacking us? What more can they do that they aren't already doing?
These people are on a death cult crusade, if they can attack, they do attack. So if they aren't doing it already, it's because they can't.
#11
This wasn't such a big concern by Heir Klapper during the Obummer days. There was more concern with domestic spying and taking down candidate Trump and then POTUS Trump.
[RedState] The House Ethics Committee announced that they were also investigating Delegate Michael F.Q. San Nicolas (D-Guam) over allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a staffer & campaign finance abuses. They are looking into allegations that he converted campaign funds to personal use and accepted improper or excessive campaign contributions.
NEW ‐ The House Ethics Cmte is investigating Delegate Michael F.Q. San Nicolas (D-Guam) over allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a staffer & campaign finance abuses.
‐ John Bresnahan (@BresPolitico) October 24, 2019
According to the Washington Times, legal counsel for San Nicolas said, "The congressman welcomes the opportunity for due process."
Territories of the United States, like Guam, have non-voting delegates instead of representatives. San Nicolas has represented Guam’s at large district since January. He was elected to serve as the Vice Chair of the House Committee on Financial Services by fellow committee members.
Kuam News reported that in San Nicolas’ former chief of staff John Paul Manuel had filed a complaint with the Guam Election Commission about his former boss’ actions.
Here’s what Manuel said in September before the House announcement and he didn’t hold back.
From Kuam News:
Manuel told KUAM News, "How can you truly be supporting our troops when he is engaging in sexual relations with their wives while they are away? There is never a convenient time to reveal a friend’s wrong-doings. But the truth needed to be said. How is it responsible to have your chakmak on government payroll for $85,000? Powerful men need to realize the era of using political office as their own personal sexual playground is over. Government budgets don’t have any more room for chakmaks."
