Biden Gave Trump’s Union Busters a Taste of Their Own Medicine By MARK JOSEPH STERN JAN 22, 20211:16 PM President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday. Alex Wong/Getty Images TWEET SHARE COMMENT Twenty-three minutes after assuming the presidency, Joe Biden demanded the resignation of Peter Robb, the notoriously anti-union general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board appointed by Donald Trump. Robb refused to resign, so Biden fired him. Alice Stock, another anti-union Trump appointee, then assumed the role of acting general counsel—and Biden demanded her resignation the next day. Stock also refused to resign, so Biden fired her, too.

How China Seeks Influence Through Proxies, Trump’s Adult Children – Washington Examiner

by

AR: Can you describe the extent to which “corruption by proxy” is the mode of the Trump family? The affairs of the Kushner family and Qatar are in the news; Eric and Donald Jr. are managing their father’s portfolio; how has this been, and how can it be exploited by special interests? What can be done to guard against this type of corruption in the future?

PS: We are approximately 15 months into the Trump presidency. Thus far there have been no large sweetheart deals that I have been able to detect involving foreign entities. But mark my words: They will be offered them. The Chinese have been quite explicit about their strategy: They want to soften Trump’s policies on China by going through his kids. And they plan to do that by offering them lucrative deals. As I say in the book, for the sake of the country they need to resist those deals at all costs.

Lobbyists Are Feasting in Trump’s Swamp | The New Republic

by

The Trump administration does, however, seem “particularly comfortable stacking high-level posts with former lobbyists whose policy proposals are like a corporate Christmas list,” said Peterson. As ProPublica revealed in March, “At least 187 Trump political appointees have been federal lobbyists, and despite President Trump’s campaign pledge to ‘drain the swamp,’ many are now overseeing the industries they once lobbied on behalf of.”

Defining the Enemy | The Holocaust Encyclopedia

by

A number of groups were targeted as enemies or outsiders. They included Jews, Roma (Gypsies), homosexuals, and political dissidents. Also targeted were Germans viewed as genetically inferior and harmful to “national health,” such as people with mental illness and intellectual or physical disabilities.

The use of  propaganda and laws to define the enemy as a cohesive group was a key factor in achieving the goals of the Nazi regime.

3
These campaigns incited hatred or cultivated indifference to it. They were particularly effective in creating an atmosphere tolerant of violence against Jews.

Although not targeting specific races the Donald Trump Presidency with the continuing use of “Fake News” and “Lies” is NO LESS DANGEROUS TO THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE, unless we recognize it for what it is we could be doomed to repeat a very DARK TIME in the past century!

High Crimes and Misdemeanors – Constitutional Rights Foundation

by

The U.S. Constitution provides impeachment as the method for removing the president, vice president, federal judges, and other federal officials from office. The impeachment process begins in the House of Representatives and follows these steps:

The House Judiciary Committee holds hearings and, if necessary, prepares articles of impeachment. These are the charges against the official.
If a majority of the committee votes to approve the articles, the whole House debates and votes on them.
If a majority of the House votes to impeach the official on any article, then the official must then stand trial in the Senate.
For the official to be removed from office, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict the official. Upon conviction, the official is automatically removed from office and, if the Senate so decides, may be forbidden from holding governmental office again.
The impeachment process is political in nature, not criminal. Congress has no power to impose criminal penalties on impeached officials. But criminal courts may try and punish officials if they have committed crimes.

The Constitution sets specific grounds for impeachment. They are “treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.” To be impeached and removed from office, the House and Senate must find that the official committed one of these acts.

High crimes and misdemeanors – Wikipedia

by

Benjamin Franklin asserted that the power of impeachment and removal was necessary for those times when the Executive “rendered himself obnoxious,” and the Constitution should provide for the “regular punishment of the Executive when his conduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal when he should be unjustly accused.” James Madison said, “…impeachment… was indispensable” to defend the community against “the incapacity, negligence or perfidy of the chief Magistrate.” With a single executive, Madison argued, unlike a legislature whose collective nature provided security, “loss of capacity or corruption was more within the compass of probable events, and either of them might be fatal to the Republic.”

My Canadian Opinion

by

President Donald J. Trump has once again used the office of President to grand stand before the world, either looking for approval or for his own parties gains this speech to Congress and the world took on a feel of exploitation of a grieving William “Ryan” Owens family.

Sourced from:FP

” One poignant moment, however, unintentionally revealed a great deal not just about what sort of leader the president is but how disengaged America’s political class has always been with the country’s more than 15-year war on terrorism. In an overt and calculated effort to deflect attention from a failed military operation, Trump turned to the widow of Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens, who was killed in a Navy SEAL raid in central Yemen for which, earlier in the day, the president had shirked all responsibility.”

Sourced from:The Guardian

“I think in terms of effort, which means something, but I give myself an A+,” he told the ferocious interviewers on Fox and Friends on the morning of his big speech. “I think I get an A in terms of what I’ve actually done, but in terms of messaging, I’d give myself a C or a C+.”

Don’t be so hard on your messaging, Mr President. Your heroic effort has certainly been noticed around the world, in federal courts across the nation, and by the true measure of your success: on Saturday Night Live.

Unfortunately my American friends you have elected an American business man who thinks you can run a country the way you run a corporation. (too bad chapter 11 isn’t open for you now Donald)

In my opinion Mr.President YOU’RE FIRED!
