Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Fallout so far:

* The magazine of the Jesuit religious order in the United States has withdrawn its endorsement of Judge Kavanaugh.

* The American Bar Association has now called for an FBI investigation before voting on Judge Kavanaugh.

The ABA stance is very significant. The ABA is always closely consulted on Supreme Court nominees and is considered to be staunchly non-partisan. Now they are pleading with the Republicans to take the time to get this done right.

“Each appointment to our nation’s Highest Court (as with all others) is simply too important to rush to a vote,” ABA President Robert Carlson wrote in the letter. “Deciding to proceed without conducting additional investigation would not only have a lasting impact on the Senate’s reputation, but it will also negatively affect the great trust necessary for the American people to have in the Supreme Court.”

Wait, so Ford did not testify today?

Care to try again?

Anyone who watched the hearings today and still thinks BK is cleared for a vote is politicized beyond saving. This would be the first time in history that the majority is refusing an FBI investigation request when new allegations emerge before a vote. Trumpers and Senate Republicans are somehow trying to justify screwing Ford out of any form of justice simply because Dems are playing political games. It doesn’t matter how sneaky and conniving either side may have been, a serious allegation from a credible person who had the guts to openly speak about it deserves further investigation. The trumper BK stood there like a completely biased politician and told the committee an FBI investigation is worthless and that this is all happening because of Clintons’ revenge. The main witness his buddy Judge is hiding out and was not even called in. What a racket.

Democrats are still lying wrote:

Yep, it's official. Google TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING THEY COULD to help Hillary win the election.

Democrats====It's fake news, our side never does anything deceitful. We've never lied..."hey, don't look at that, look over there".

An email reveals that a senior Google employee deployed the company's resources to increase voter turnout in ways she believed would help the Clinton campaign win in the last election.

The email we obtained came from a woman named Eliana Murillo, the former Head of Google's Multi-cultural Marketing department. She sent the email on November 9th, 2016. That was one day after the presidential election. That email was subsequently forwarded by two Google Vice Presidents to more staff members throughout the company.

In her email Murillo - Murillo touts Google's multi-faceted efforts to boost Hispanic turnout in the election. She knows that Latinos voted in record-breaking numbers especially in states like Florida, Nevada and Arizona, the last of which she describes as "A key state for us."

She brags that the company used its power to ensure that millions of people saw certain hashtags and social media impressions with the goal of influencing their behavior during the election.

Elsewhere in the email Murillo says "Google supported partners like Voto Latino to pay for rides to the polls in key states." She describes this assistance as "A silent donation."

Murillo then says that Google helped Voto Latino create ad campaigns to promote those rides. Now officially, Voto Latino is a non-partisan entity but that is a sham. Voto Latino is vocally partisan.

Recently, the group declared that Hispanics, all Hispanics, are in President Trump's "Crosshairs." They said they plan to respond to this by registering another million additional Hispanic voters in the next presidential cycle.

Voto Latino is a group with clear political goals, goals that Google supported in 2016. We asked both Google and Voto Latino for clarification. What exactly did Murillo mean by a silent donation?

This is a potentially significant legal question. Neither company responded to us. At the end of her email, Murillo makes it clear that Google was working to get Hillary Clinton elected. This wasn't a Get Out The Vote effort, whatever they say.

It was not aimed at all potential voters. It wasn't even aimed at a balanced cross-section of subgroups. Google didn't try to get out the vote among say Christian Arabs in Michigan or Persian Jews in Los Angeles. They sometimes vote Republican.

It was aimed only at one group, a group that Google cynically assumed would vote exclusively for the Democratic Party. Furthermore, this mobilization effort targeted not the entire country but swing states vital to the Hillary campaign. This was not an exercise in civics. This was political consulting. It was in effect an in-kind contribution to the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

*********In the end, Google was disappointed as Murillo herself conceded "Ultimately after all was said and done, the Latino community did come out to vote and completely surprised us. We never anticipated that 29 percent of Latinos would vote for Trump. No one did. If you see a Latino Googler in the office please give them a smile. They are probably hurting right now. You can rest assured that the Latinos of these blue states need your thoughts and prayers for them and their families. I had planned a vacation and thought I would be taking the time to celebrate. Now, it will be time to reflect on how to continue to support my community through these difficult times."

**********Nobody at the DNC was more upset by the results than Murillo. Google tried to get Hillary elected. They failed this time. We reached out to Google. The company did not deny that the email was real or that it showed a clear political preference. Their only defense was that the activities it described were either non - non-partisan or weren't taken officially by the company. But of course they were both.

Plenty of people in Google knew what was going on and we've seen no evidence that anyone in Google disapproved of it or tried to rein it in. Two years later, Google is more powerful than it's ever been and the Left has increasingly become radical in what it is willing to do to regain political power.

What could Google be doing this election cycle to support its preferred candidates? What could they do in 2020 is a question almost nobody in Washington seems interested in even asking. They ought to be interested.

Bruhs,

I listened to the hearings in their entirety yesterday. My thoughts...Kav is a classic example of a totally douche, Uber privilege frat boy-type with a penchant for boozing and sexual aggression in his younger years. Since having children—specifically two daughters—he has realized how disgusting his behavior as a boy and young man was. In his current position he cannot bring himself to face his demons and so—the result—is his over the top angry performance yesterday when his past behavior threatens all his substantial accomplishments to date.

There was an opportunity here to make a cultural shift by making him example to all boys and men that if you treat women like $hit and act like a depraved A-hole—even if that was a long time ago that it matters not how much you’ve accomplished you will be held accountable. That would’ve been a good thing and shown that we have made progress as a society since 1991.

Instead, bruhs, this is what is going to happen. He will be confirmed to the SCOTUS—some Dems will even vote for him. In the midterms, the Dems will take the House but will lose 1-3 seats in the Senate (they will win some upsets but some Dem incumbents will lose so the net change will be in the GOPs favor). RBG will die in the next 2 years and Trump will get another SCOTUS appointment before 2020. Unless something major, like a big war occurs, Trump will lose reelection in 2020 AND the Senate will go back to the Dems in 2020 as well.

The Dems will then spend the next 4-8 years trying to reverse everything the GOP has done under Trump and the cycle—and downward death spiral of a once great nation will continue.
