quote:

Sandy, the deputy associate director for national security programs at OMB, testified that he was instructed to sign the first of several apportionment letters in which budget officials formally instituted the freeze on funds, according to two people familiar with his testimony who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak frankly. He was never given a specific reason as to why the letter was being sent out, the people added.

Other witnesses have testified that the letter Sandy signed was dated July 25 — the same day that President Trump spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and one week after OMB verbally informed interagency officials that they were withholding the funds on orders from the White House. The signature of Sandy’s boss, political appointee Michael Duffey, appears on subsequent letters.

Sandy testified that the change came about when Duffey told him he wanted to learn more about the budget apportionment process. Sandy thought this was odd, the people familiar with his testimony said — and he told investigators that he suggested to Duffey that if he wanted to learn more about the process, there were other ways to do it. But Duffey insisted.

Sandy testified that he had never in his career seen a senior political OMB official assume control of a portfolio in such a fashion, according to the people familiar with his testimony, who added that he did not raise a fuss because he wanted to keep his job.

the best part about these people who think the Democrats are stealing elections by fabricating votes once they see how far they are behind is that they must face to the fact that if the dear leader is allowing this to happen over and over again, he must be truly impotent and powerless. That must be really upsetting for them to roll around in their empty heads :)

I mean what happens when the whole just rile up the base and make poo poo up strategy to win elections just isn't working anymore like seems to be the case lately? It's a serious question worth pondering.

Like this is it, this is their hail mary all in counter-strategy to Obama's win in '08 that got the Tea Party and Freedom Caucus elected and allowed Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and Trump to happen. It's not looking as much like what one goon referred to as a frustrating stalemate with low level evil anymore. This is something I've pondered a lot, the equation of the right wing media firewall that effectively cuts off large segments of America from appeal to reason and allows the GOP to stay in power at the national level like it has for most of the 21st century in spite of what appears to be the majority will of Americans and their utter incompetence. If it doesn't play big into 2020 I just don't see how they perform well nationally. Fox News and maintaining the right wing narrative in the Mid-West and Deep South is literally imperative to the Republican parties survival due to shifting demographics and their blatant inability to actual govern in practice.

Heck, it's not even necessarily insanity if you don't have any intent on discussing issues or working in good faith. Your opponent can be whatever you want or need them to be, so long as they keep being the other that you need to combat no matter what.

the left will win in the long run they play to win while conservatives and right wingers are like we dont protest or make our voice heardin the street because we are busy working and have a job. the left fight ever since 1960s has allowed them to acquire almost every department like education, culture, music, movies, media technology .etc. and once politics is cemented it is over, i dont expect states like Virginia to ever turn red again like california but i do expect texas to turn blue within a decade

I told you dumb troll twits NOT to get excited, and here we are. You can either sit behind your computer and keep posting spicy memes or you can get out into the CITIES where we always lose...and campaign for the next year, up until the election because I'm telling you. we are not fighting back aggressively enough against the relentless democrat SMEAR campaign. You can sit here and be smug and Pepe everything you want but the truth is a lot of young new voters came out in the cities and voted for democrats. You better get off your asses and start real politicing ( which you wont do ) or we're going to lose 2020. I'm serious. I can already see it. The democrats got too complacent in 2016 and I feel like we're doing the same exact thing simply assuming Trump will be re-elected. it's going to be even close next time people. WAKE UP and get out from behind your keyboards!

Holy poo poo, Louisiana, good going. State legislatures are where the GOP has been doing the most damage IMO and coming into the 2020 census with fewer GOP's in statehouses will be fantastic nationally.

D's don't even do it. They have been implementing non partisan boards to do it which end up in D gains just because of what republicans did after 2010 coming back the other direction.

The Democrat smear campaign is working. What are you going to do about it?

Are you going to sit here and snark to other snarky people while post nothing but Pepe pics no one of consequence will see? Or will you get out and campaign in the cities? Probably not. You'll sit here and assume Trump is going to win re-Election (which will cost us the election )

This reddit has almost a MILLION members. If even 1/4 of you got out, and actively started campaigning we could do much MUCH better. But it has to be these cities. Cities are where the democrats run, run, run, and run. They get the Republicans EVERY TIME with last minute city votes, and then you dumbasses sit there and whine about "voter fraud"

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THIS TIME/ Shave. Get a nice suit. GO OUT AND CAMPAIGN because 2020 will probably be closer than when George W Bush "won" the presidency.

Blame it on the freeloading hippies of new Orleans
-
And yet another super close election with massive MAGA backing that the Democrats ultimately win. Again...

we are hosed, unbelievable as someone who lives in Louisiana and R Gov was leading all night besides the closing mins. 2020 I dont think is safe for a win. Every dead person, illegal alien will vote several times. Most of Louisiana is red so that tells me it was voter fraud tonight.
