Welcome to the Good news Roundup, all the news that’s fit to make you want to see Trump get impeached.
I am super jazzed today, because at work I was asking about when I was getting my next raise (Since I live in New York, and we won big in 2018), and I was basically told that by 2021 I’d be making 15 dollars an hour.
As many of you know, my Dad is moving out of state in a few years, and I will then be forced to fend for myself, making 15 dollars an hour means I might actually be able to live on my own, like an actual adult is supposed to, instead of just lurking in my dad’s corner bedroom like a horrible troll like thing, emerging only for food and to occasionally do chores.
Also apparently according to one of my friends the Unions are planning on fighting this pay increase because a bunch of jealous bitter assholes don’t want to get more money if it means someone else gets paid the same amount, but hopefully that wont pan out.
ANYWAY, enough of personal business, lets move on to the good stuff.
President Donald Trump is again slamming his preferred network, claiming that Fox News is pandering to the left by having Democratic lawmakers on air.
The president tweeted Sunday to express his displeasure that Fox News allowed Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) ― whom he described as “losers” and “radical left haters” ― to appear on the network’s airwaves.
Just let that sink in. Now Fox News is too left of the dial for Donald Trump.
Donny, Fox News is literally the only reason you still have a job, its probably the only reason the GOP isn’t going to do to you what they did to Nixon. Maybe don’t bite the hand that feeds you. You enormous mummified toddler.
Step by step, he has escorted President Trump to the brink of impeachment. Mr. Giuliani himself is now under criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in the very office where he enjoyed his first extended draughts of fame nearly four decades ago. The separate troubles he has gotten his client and himself into are products of the uniquely powerful position he has fashioned, a hybrid of unpaid personal counsel to the president and for-profit peddler of access and advice.
Practically no name, other than Mr. Trump’s, was mentioned more than Mr. Giuliani’s at the impeachment hearings and in a subsequent Democratic report that described him as the hub of a grievous abuse of presidential power (or legitimate advocate for Mr. Trump, in the Republicans’ minority response).
A dozen witnesses testified over five days, and if Mr. Giuliani were somehow subtracted from their stories, there seems to be no one in or out of government who could take his place as the president’s man on the ground. No one to carry out a campaign to force a vulnerable ally, Ukraine, to damage a political opponent of Mr. Trump and undermine a special counsel investigation in ways that would help both Mr. Trump and an ally now in prison for laundering millions of dollars.
Ah, the literally two worst things to ever come out of New York, what else could they make together but a flaming train wreck. Honestly they deserve one another. I’d say there’s only one braincell between the two of them, but I think that’s a gross overestimate.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler on Sunday said Democrats have a “lock solid case” in the impeachment inquiry against President Trump, saying an outside jury would quickly reach a guilty verdict with the gathered evidence.
Well I mean, obviously. I think that’s a no brainer. Unfortunately the GOP controlled senate wont be easy to convince, so I think we’ll need to wait till Trump is out of office to test those waters.
Long before Catalina Cruz was elected to serve residents of the New York State Assembly’s 39th District, she was a DREAMer, a young undocumented immigrant who was brought to America as child .
Cruz came to the U.S. from Colombia at the age of nine and for 10 years, lived in the shadows that often come with being undocumented.
Cruz recently sat down with Know Your Value’s Daniela Pierre-Bravo to talk about her difficult past, recent accomplishments and very bright future.
Of course its not all about how awful Trump is. We also talk about how awesome Democrats are. Welcome to the team Mrs. Cruz, I know you’ll do us proud.
According to a report from the New York Times, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is finding his hands tied by members of his own party who are skeptical over the appropriateness of calling some of the witnesses Donald Trump — and a few of his House Republican enablers — want to appear.
As the Times notes, “While Democrats who control the House are focused on a swift impeachment vote by year’s end, the White House is almost entirely consumed by the trial that would follow in the Republican-controlled Senate, where Mr. Trump’s team believes he would have the chance to defend himself and where Democrats would almost certainly fall short of the two-thirds vote they would need to remove him from office.”
However, Republicans — who have been hamstrung by White House infighting over impeachment strategy — are uncertain what road they want to go down, and a few are balking on voting for some witnesses to appear despite the GOP majority.
So basically, even the GOP are against Trump and McConnell turning the Senate Trial into a dog and pony show. This might be more interesting than I thought.
That’s it for this week. Make sure to check out the GNR Spotify list, and have a good work. Keep heart and keep the faith, one way or another the end is in sight.
