    Once again proving you are mentally deficient. No one is cheering for Cheney's endorsement. Kamala didn't go out and ask for it. People are pointing out how odd it is a staunch Republican is voting for Kamala instead of the Republican candidate.

    Dick Cheney can vote for and endorse who he wants but I personally wouldn’t want anything to do with him.

    Ex-Fox News personality Gerry River endorses Kamala Harris over ‘sore loser’ Donald J Trump

    [​IMG]





    As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration.

    After losing to Joe Biden,Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats.

    In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.

    The lie unserscores the fact tgatTrump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.​

    Did Republicans Just Hand Trump 2.0 His First Defeat?

    Like McConnell, Thune, a 63-year-old in his fourth term, criticized Trump’s role in fomenting the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, calling the former president’s actions “inexcusable.”

    even Trump appoointed Judge is following suit !



    Team Trump's legal team had asked the judge, appointed by Trump, late Monday to rethink her order clearing the way for the release of the portion dealing with the 2020 election probe, arguing it should remain on hold so that he could put forward his arguments for blocking the report’s entire release at the Friday hearing.

    Judge Eileen Cannon rejected the Trump team’s last-minute attempt to delay the Justice Department’s release of the election subversion volume of the report, leaving an earlier hold on it to lift at midnight.

    Federal Judge OrderedTrump 2.0 To Rehire Thousands of Federal Workers Terminated In Mid-February


    • Federal HR office’s layoffs template was a ‘sham,’ judge says
    • Move reverses firings of new employees at six federal agencies

    “It is a sad day when our government would fire a good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that is a lie,” Alsup said
    . “That should not have been done in our country.”

    The order requires the departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Interior, Agriculture, and Treasury to rehire the employees who were laid off around Feb. 13
    at the direction of the OPM, the federal government’s HR department.

    The Trump administration said just hours after the injunction that it is appealing the order to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

    Second judge orders Trump administration to rehire probationary workers terminated in mid-Feb in mass firings



    A judge in Maryland has blocked for now the mass firings of probationary federal workers and ordered thousands of fired probationary workers to be reinstated,
    marking the second decision of its kind in a day.

    The order from U.S. District Judge James Bredar came late Thursday in a lawsuit filed by 19 states and the District of Columbia against multiple federal agencies alleging the mass firings are illegal.

    The states contend the Trump administration blindsided them by ignoring laws set out for large-scale layoffs, which already are having an impact on state governments as
    they try to help the suddenly jobless. At least 24,000 probationary employees have been terminated since President Donald Trump took office, the lawsuit alleges,
    though efforts by the judge to get an estimate from a government attorney at a hearing Wednesday were unsuccessful.

    The Trump administration argues that the states have no right to try and influence the federal government’s relationship with its own workers.

    Corey Booker is on a roll. He's been speaking over 16 hours now. He started at 7:00 PM last night.

    Before his speech, Mr. Booker said on social media that he was heading to the Senate floor because Mr. Trump and Elon Musk, the billionaire who is one of the president’s top advisers, had shown what he called “a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution and the needs of the American people.”

    “In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety, financial stability, the core foundations of our democracy and even our aspirations as a people for — from our highest offices — a sense of common decency,” Mr. Booker said in his speech. “These are not normal times in America, and they should not be treated as such.”

    New Jersey Sen. Booker presses his marathon speech against Trump’s agenda past 18 hours and counting

    “These are not normal times in our nation,” Booker said as he launched into his speech. “And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate. The threats to the American people and American democracy are grave and urgent, and we all must do more to stand against them.”

    Booker also read what he said were letters from constituents, donning and doffing his reading glasses. One writer was alarmed by the Republican president’s talk of annexing Greenland and Canada and a “looming constitutional crisis.”

    “I hear you. I see you, and I’m standing here in part because of letters like yours,” Booker said.

    “You think we got civil rights one day because Strom Thurmond — after filibustering for 24 hours — you think we got civil rights because he came to the floor one day and said, ‘I’ve seen the light,’” Booker said. ”No, we got civil rights because people marched for it, sweat for it and John Lewis bled for it.”
