NBC/WSJ poll: 49 percent now back Trump's impeachment and removal

Source: nbcnews


But the president's support among Republicans remains strong one year out from Election Day

Nov. 3, 2019, 8:00 AM CST

WASHINGTON — Exactly one year out from the 2020 general election, a majority of all Americans — or close to it — support impeaching President Donald Trump and removing him from office, disapprove of his job performance and back his top Democratic rivals in head-to-head matchups.

Those are the findings from the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which was conducted amid the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against the president, after Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, and after the military raid that killed the leader of ISIS.

Despite those grim numbers for Trump, the poll also contains silver linings for the president, including more than 50 percent who approve of his handling of the economy and a GOP base that remains loyal to him, with nine-in-10 Republicans opposing his removal from office. That party support is a crucial factor given that an impeachment conviction in the Senate requires a two-thirds vote....................................

Democrat Tulsi Gabbard Defends 'Frank and Positive' Trump Meeting


Nov. 21, 2016, 6:24 PM CST / Updated Nov. 21, 2016, 6:24 PM CST
By Alex Seitz-Wald

On its face, Monday’s summit at Trump Towers between President-elect Donald Trump and Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard makes little sense.

Hawaii was Donald Trump’s single worst state (he got only 29 percent of the vote) and it’s by far the country’s most racially diverse, with whites making up about only one-quarter of the population.

But in a statement after the meeting, Gabbard, who has often challenged President Barack Obama on national security, said she held a "frank and positive" conversation with the President-elect, discussing Syria and other foreign policy issues.

Gabbard, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, also said she and Trump discussed legislation that she is pushing that would end what she described as "our country's illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government."......................................

Washington Nationals player says he won't visit Trump White House: 'I just can't do it'

Source: the Hill




By Justin Wise - 11/02/19 07:24 AM EDT



Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle will not visit the White House with his teammates when President Trump hosts the club to celebrate their World Series victory.

Doolittle, a relief pitcher who joined the Nationals in 2017, told The Washington Post on Friday that he will not attend a White House ceremony scheduled for Monday because of his opposition to Trump.

“There’s a lot of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, it has more to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling of conspiracy theories and widening the divide in this country," Doolittle said.

"My wife and I stand for inclusion and acceptance, and we’ve done work with refugees, people that come from, you know, the ‘shithole countries,' ” he added, referencing remarks Trump made in 2018 about immigrants coming from Haiti and other African nations.

Doolittle went on to say that "as much as I wanted to be there with my teammates and share that experience with my teammates, I can’t do it.".............

Republican stunt backfires when Capitol Police are called to investigate their 'suspicious' package








Apparently the NRCC sent some frontline Democrats “moving boxes” after the impeachment vote, but because the boxes looked like suspicious packages, Capitol Police were called to investigate.

The House of Representatives voted on the rules for impeachment Thursday, setting up the House investigation. However, the mockery of Democrats by Republicans turned into a serious incident for the GOP.


According to congressional Huffington Post reporter Matt Fuller, the GOP sent moving boxes to some Democrats who voted on the rules bill. The boxes appeared outside of Congressional offices with bows on them, which ended up being a huge security flag to the Capitol Police. .....................

Conservatives Outraged Over Dem Dressing Up As 'Batman' On Halloween

Katie Porter has more intellect in the tip of her batwoman finger than any of these have in their entire hypocritical bodies. Made me think of their outrage at Obama wearing a tan suit.



Conservatives Outraged Over Dem Dressing Up As ‘Batman’ On Halloween


By Cristina Cabrera October 31, 2019 1:21 p.m.


Conservatives simply cannot believe Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) dared to wear a costume on Halloween.
........................


.........................


........................


“Democrat Rep. Katie Porter is making a mockery of the House of Representatives,” complained Steve Guest, the Republican National Committee’s rapid response director.

But multiple reporters confirmed the congresswoman only wore the costume during a Financial Services Committee session, not to the widely anticipated House vote on the impeachment resolution.

Porter shrugged off the outrage.........................................


.........................................


Earlier in the day, Porter had one other correction for her critics: She’s not dressed as Batman.

“Batgirl,” she told Washington Post reporter Mike DeBonis. “It’s not Batman. It’s Batgirl.”
