The White House press secretary has defended President Donald Trump after he promoted a conspiracy theory that claimed an elderly man who was shoved by police officers in viral video footage was an "Antifa provocateur".
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters at a briefing on Wednesday the president had “facts” before writing in a tweet about the video: “Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an Antifa provocateur. 75-year-old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment.” She declined to provide what those specific facts were that led the president to promote the claim, which circulated on right-wing corners of the web. Mr Gugino, who can be seen falling to the ground in the viral video from demonstrations in Buffalo, New York over the death of George Floyd and police brutality, has been described as a “gentle” man by his friends as he received attacks online about his involvement in the protests. The 75-year-old is a member of the Catholic Worker Movement, and volunteers with multiple nonprofits. Democrats on Capitol Hill have condemned the president for his tweet about Mr Gugino, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D—NY), who said the president “should go back to hiding in the bunker instead of tweeting baseless conspiracies about peaceful protestors and further dividing America” |

Trump administration eases restrictions on killing bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens in Alaska
By Sophie Lewis June 10, 2020 / 7:08 PM / CBS News Hunters in Alaska will soon be allowed to use bacon grease and doughnuts to bait brown bears, spotlights to shoot hibernating mother bears and cubs in their dens and motorboats to shoot swimming caribou — thanks to a reversal of Obama-era guidelines by the Trump administration this week. Effective July 9, hunting on nature preserves in Alaska will once again be controlled by the state rather than the federal government. The new rule, published Tuesday in the Federal Register, reverses hunting bans put in place in all National Parks by the Obama administration in 2015 following years of pleading by environmental and wildlife protection groups. The rules, which many see as cruel and unnecessary, allow baiting of brown and black bears with human food, hunting of bears in their dens using artificial light, killing of wolves and coyotes in their dens during the season when mothers wean their young, using dogs to hunt bears and hunting of swimming caribou from boats. These actions were banned by Obama federally despite being permitted by the state of Alaska. |

A former federal judge appointed to review the Justice Department's request to dismiss charges against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn said the department's move should be denied because there is “clear evidence of a gross abuse of prosecutorial power," The Associated Press has reported.
“The Government’s ostensible grounds for seeking dismissal are conclusively disproven by its own briefs filed earlier in this very proceeding,” former US District Judge John Gleeson wrote in a filing Wednesday, a month after federal prosecuted, influenced by DOJ brass, moved to dismiss the case. The government's stated grounds for dismissal "contradict and ignore this Court’s prior orders, which constitute law of the case. They are riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact. And they depart from positions that the Government has taken in other cases,” Mr Gleeson wrote. Mr Flynn was indicted in December 2017 for lying to the FBI about his communications with then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak during the bureau's counterintelligence probe into possible ties between Donald Trump's campaign and transition team and Russia. |

The US Labor Department reports more than 1.5 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits in the last week.
It's a drop from the week before, when 1.8m claims were filed, but remains high. It marks the second week to see less than 2m jobless applications since mid-March. More than 40 million Americans lost their jobs over the last few months, as areas shutdown seeking to stop the spread of coronavirus. In May, the market improved unexpectedly, with businesses beginning to rehire as states started to roll back some of the tough measures put in place to control the virus' spread. |

Four months ago, Sen. Thom Tillis put out an ad defending President Donald Trump from impeachment, boasting about the White House’s trade deals, and triumphantly noting that the president would be on the ballot in November.This past week, references to the president were entirely absent from the vulnerable North Carolina Republican’s latest campaign spot. In fact, the ad centered on his state’s economic pain at the precise moment that Trump’s re-election campaign was trying to sell a nascent economic recovery that it dubbed the “Great American Comeback.” Tillis’ change in tone underscores a much larger trend that’s taking place among the Senate’s most vulnerable Republican members. While many are happy to tout Trump in email and social media fundraising appeals, the president has all but disappeared from the ads they’re airing in their home states. The Daily Beast reviewed 15 publicly available ad spots created since March by Republican Senate campaigns in the competitive states of North Carolina, Maine, Colorado, Arizona, and Montana. Fourteen of them made no mention of Trump. The only one that did, an ad from Tillis’ campaign in late April, simply mentioned that he’d been appointed to a White House coronavirus task force. By contrast, Democrats in a number of competitive Senate contests have used their television ad time to attempt to tie Republican incumbents to the president. In Colorado, Sen. Cory Gardner unveiled his first TV ad of the cycle just last month highlighting his work securing coronavirus aid for his state. The 30-second spot didn’t mention Trump. But it did plug Gardner’s collaboration with Jared Polis, Colorado’s Democratic governor. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has likewise sought to burnish her bipartisan credentials. One recent TV ad from her campaign featured shots of Collins alongside Democratic colleagues including Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. But Trump was nowhere to be found in that spot, or any other her campaign has aired over the last couple months. The economic damage wrought by the coronavirus, which the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday it expects to persist, has coincided with a cratering of Trump’s standing in national polling. And Trump’s conspicuous absence from Senate Republican ads tracks internal tactical advice that the National Republican Senatorial Committee relayed to Senate campaigns in April when it told them to avoid publicly defending White House efforts to combat the coronavirus and instead attack China over its complicity in the virus’ early spread. |

There was 130 million folks voted in the 2016 general election. How many of these folks were prosecuted for fraudulent mail in voting?

By:
...and sticky, it's you that keeps bringing this up, because Trump mentioned it on twitter. That doesn't make it true.
|
|
By:
Low i'd say because Hillary thought she would win easily so mail in voting wasn't used much.
|
|
By:
If there was strong evidence of widespread systematic fraudulent mail in voting (which there isn't) why would it favour one party over another?
|
|
By:
Err, because one party need the votes after having been defeated the last time, maybe ?

As the republican party received less votes in 2016, I assume you mean them?

At least it was only data he was harvesting unlike Xi and Kim who likes to harvest body organs from protesters and dissenters while in concentration camps.

The Federal Reserve is wrong so often. I see the numbers also, and do MUCH better than they do. We will have a very good Third Quarter, a great Fourth Quarter, and one of our best ever years in 2021. We will also soon have a Vaccine & Therapeutics/Cure. That’s my opinion. WATCH! dow falls nearly 2000 points - has there ever been a bigger mug? |
