Sean Spicer Appears At Emmy’s And Everyone Forgets What A Lying Jackass He Is
Sean Spicer made a surprise appearance at the Emmy Awards on Sunday
night, and almost immediately the entire country forgot that he spent
months lying to the American public on behalf of Donald Trump.
We cannot normalize this kind of behavior, or give him a free pass because he made us chuckle by spewing his rehearsed jokes. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Republicans Vote To Keep Trump’s Tax Returns Hidden From The World
The House of Representatives has voted to continue to shield Donald
Trump from releasing his tax return information – something that
presidents and Party presidential candidates have been doing for decades
to prove they are on the level.
This decision shows that Republicans are afraid of what we could find, but it also shows that they are being stupidly loyal to a man who constantly berates and bullies them.
As Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins points out, this makes absolutely no sense.

Trump Adviser Issues Threat: Politicians Who Support Impeachment Are Endangering Their Lives
Roger Stone, one of Donald Trump’s closest allies and advisers, issued
what could be perceived as a death threat against politicians who
support Trump’s impeachment: If you are in favor of it, you are putting
your own life at risk.
Stone threatened a new civil war if impeachment takes place and an “insurrection” the likes of which this country has never seen. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why these comments not only prove the need for Trump’s impeachment, but they should also land Stone in prison.

The Press Is Now Calling Trump “Independent”, Playing Right Into His Tiny Hands
The media has been fawning over Donald Trump for the last week, mostly
due to the fact that he worked out a debt ceiling deal with Democratic
lawmakers. Now, the press is calling him “independent” and saying that
he isn’t beholden to the Republican Party.
This is insanity. Trump isn’t independent, he’s a pathetic businessman who only cares about branding and ratings – and his words in the last week prove it. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Legal groups move to challenge Trump's Arpaio pardon
By MADELINE CONWAY
Two advocacy groups moved on Monday to challenge Donald Trump’s pardon of controversial former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, alleging that the president's move was unconstitutional because it undermined the power of the federal judiciary.
A public interest law firm, the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center, sought to file an amicus brief in an Arizona district court, where Arpaio is seeking to vacate a conviction after Trump granted him a pardon last month. The brief was initially turned down by a judge on procedural grounds.
A second group, the Protect Democracy Project, also filed an amicus
brief on Monday arguing that the pardon is unconstitutional.
Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, has been repeatedly accused of employing racist law enforcement tactics and mistreating inmates. A Justice Department civil rights investigation concluded that his department racially profiled Latinos, and Arpaio in 2016 lost a bid for re-election.
In July, he was convicted of criminal contempt of court because he had continued to detain immigrants without sufficient reason after a federal court order told him to stop. Trump pardoned Arpaio in August, pointing to his "selfless public service."
The MacArthur Justice Center moved to file in the case on Monday but was warned by Judge Susan Bolton that the motion would be denied in three days if it is not edited to adhere to court procedure.
The brief contends that Trump’s pardon of Arpaio violated the Constitution because “it has the purpose and effect of eviscerating the judicial power to enforce constitutional rights.” The MacArthur Justice Center lawyers argue that, while broad, presidential pardon power can not be used to undermine the judiciary’s ability to enforce the Bill of Rights or the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Arpaio pardon, the lawyers argue, “eviscerates this Court’s enforcement power...by endorsing Arpaio’s refusal to comply with federal court orders.”
The brief also takes issue with the breadth of Trump’s pardon, noting that the “text of the pardon is so broad that it purports to allow Arpaio to run for Sheriff again...and escape criminal liability for future contempt.”
Protect Democracy’s lawyers similarly contend that the pardon violates the separation of powers “because it unconstitutionally interferes with the inherent powers of the Judicial Branch.”
They also argue that the pardon goes beyond the president’s power — “We are aware of no case in this Court, the Ninth Circuit or the Supreme Court that has upheld a pardon matching the extraordinary circumstances here, where the contempt is used to enforce court orders protecting the rights of private litigants,” the lawyers write — and violates due process.

WE GET IT, GOP
By NanceGreggs
There’s only one reason – and one reason only – why you are doing nothing to rid us of the incompetent madman you’ve put in the Oval Office: You don’t give a flyin’ fuck.
You don’t give a fuck if he ruins American lives, puts our national security at risk, distances us from our allies, or lowers our standing and influence in the global community.
You don’t give a fuck if he lies, makes decisions based on passing whims, or tries to bait North Korea into war just because he fuckin’ well feels like it.
You don’t give a fuck if Americans die as a consequence of his actions, or if global conflict is triggered by his statements - nor do you care if he consistently and repeatedly demonstrates his obvious mental instability.
You don’t give a fuck that he praises our enemies, colluded with them, and personally gave them highly classified information at his first opportunity to do so.
You don’t give a fuck that the presidency of the United States is now being degraded, disrespected, and shit upon every day by the current holder of that office.
You don’t give a fuck about ANY of that. You don’t give a fuck about the well-being of your fellow citizens, the well-being of our country, or the very survival of our democracy.
YOU. JUST. DON’T. GIVE. A. FUCK.
There is NO other explanation.

Congressional Black Caucus Ready For Impeachment Talk
Posted with permission from Newsweek
The Congressional Black Caucus will hold a meeting next week to discuss whether to call for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Following Trump’s response to deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last month, the CBC chairman, Representative Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, said the 49 member caucus would have a discussion on Trump’s possible impeachment when Congress reconvened after the August recess.
Those talks will take place next Wednesday, a CBC staffer confirmed to Newsweek on Thursday. While it was initially anticipated that the discussions would happen at this week’s meeting, relief efforts following Hurricane Harvey and in anticipation of Hurricane Irma took priority. Still, members were given background information on the impeachment process and the details on all the federal officials who have previously been subject to impeachment.
The CBC was among the first parties in Congress to call for the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, when it filed a resolution in the House of Representatives in 1973. The following year, Nixon resigned with his impeachment considered a virtual certainty.
Representative Al Green of Texas became the first Democrat to call for Trump’s removal from office, in May. He later supported California Representative Brad Sherman when he introduced articles of impeachment against the president the following month, alleging obstruction of justice over the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Representative Maxine Waters, one of Trump’s fiercest critics, has also called to impeach Trump, and Representative Gwen Moore became the most recent member to do so, following Trump’s blaming of “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville.
“For the sake of the soul of our country, we must come together to restore our national dignity that has been robbed by Donald Trump’s presence in the White House,” Moore, a Democrat from Wisconsin, said last month. “My Republican friends, I implore you to work with us within our capacity as elected officials to remove this man as our commander-in-chief and help us move forward from this dark period in our nation’s history.”
While Charlottesville may have been the tipping point, the CBC will look at a variety of issues that could be grounds for impeachment, including alleged violations of the emoluments cause and Trump’s fitness to serve. The case against Nixon will be studied closely as a guiding comparison.
Despite three members going on record urging Trump’s removal, a CBC staffer said “we have not made a decision yet” over whether the group would take the step of formally calling for the president’s impeachment. No preliminary discussions have yet taken place.
If there is a sense that the members are moving in the direction of impeachment, a vote could be called for. General policy is that a majority vote is required for a motion to pass, although because of the seriousness of this issue more than a simple majority may be deemed necessary.
For the Congressional Black Caucus, which encompasses 47 members in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate, calling for the removal of the Trump would undeniably be a powerful statement. However, there is little chance that it would bring about Trump’s exit any time soon. A majority vote in the House is required to impeach a president, followed by a two-thirds majority in the Senate in order to convict.
Republicans currently control both chambers and there have only been limited signs thus far of the party publicly abandoning their president. Also, Trump in recent days has reached out to leading Democrats over increasing the debt ceiling, a move that could win him some support.

Eric Bolling’s Son Found Dead
Eric Chase Bolling died hours after Fox News announced his father’s departure from the network.
Eric Chase Bolling, the 19 year old son of former Fox News host Eric Bolling, was found dead Friday.
The cause of death remains unknown as of Saturday evening.
