^TDS x infinityNow I know how we'll win the upcoming civil war.
why arent you posting more about Rebekah Jones?Fired State Department watchdog was probing protocol office
The investigation may have contributed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s push to oust Steve Linick.
The now-fired State Department inspector general had recently wrapped up an
investigation into two other top aides to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,
determining that they had likely failed to report allegations of workplace violence,
The probe into Cam Henderson, who leads the department’s Office of Protocol, and a deputy of hers, Mary-Kate Fisher, could have been another factor in what Pompeo and his deputies have described as mounting frustration with the inspector general, Steve Linick, and might have contributed to the secretary’s push to oust him.
The Pompeos worked closely with the Office of Protocol on a series of intimate, hush-hush dinners that
featured influential conservatives,
administration officials and
Wall Street financiers
in what some critics have viewed as the improper use of taxpayer dollars.
the inspector general was looking into his actions, those of his wife, Susan, as well as some of his aides.
Henderson took over as the chief of the Office of Protocol last summer, after her former boss, Sean Lawler, was pushed out.
Some in that office accused Lawler of intimidating and harassing his staffers,
and even carrying around a whip on the job.
investigated further claims that Henderson and Fisher, while working under Lawler, had
violated State Department policy by not reporting allegations involving Lawler and workplace violence to higher-ups.
the probe was finished about two weeks ago and Linick’s office was awaiting a response from the department.
Fisher was also under scrutiny as part of the investigation.
Henderson as a generally likable person who nonetheless may not have always acted in the best interest of the protocol office.

I didn't mention Trump at all.
Overwhelmed and losing, Trump is melting down in a narcissistic rage
Reports of Trump flying into a rage behind closed doors–shouting at aides,
turning on former allies and
at one point threatening to sue his campaign manager for failing to deliver good polling numbers–have been ubiquitous over the last three years.
But this past week feels qualitatively and quan atively different,
as he has fired a series of inspector generals,
lashed out at the reliably sycophantic Sen. Lindsey Graham,
pushed a number of snake-oil cures for Covid-19 and
threatened to cut off federal funding to several states for the “crime” of sending voters applications for absentee ballots,
which he insists against all evidence are rife with fraud.
He’s lurched between falsely bragging about the number of people we’re testing for Covid-19 and
saying that we’re testing too many;
between claiming that we’ll have a vaccine by November and
insisting that the pandemic will just disappear without a vaccine.
Part of the story is that when the Mueller report didn’t sink his presidency and Senate Republicans acquitted him for a brazenly corrupt and well-do ented abuse of power,
it gave him a sense of impunity. Impunity always breeds more lawlessness.
the report also highlights a bigger reason why Trump seems to be throwing more frequent tantrums–and has been less coherent–than usual:In recent meetings with top campaign officials and White House aides, Trump has
questioned why he’s avoiding campaign events if it‘s safe for him to travel in his official capacity.has a 24-hour medical staff and
never interacts with anyone who hasn’t undergone a rapid antibody test,
simply cannot fathom why he shouldn’t hold rallies if it’s safe for him to do so.
He’s incapable of even acknowledging that other people exist and have their own needs, and
apparently it hasn’t occurred to him that his cultists would be endangered
if they were crammed into an arena shouting at the top of their lungs and expressing microdroplets all over each other in the process.
Try as he might–and he is trying so hard–
he can’t spin away 100,000 deaths or
an unemployment crisis approaching Great Depression levels.
His skills are worthless in this context.
he’s losing badly at present.
He trails Joe Biden in RCP’s average of every battleground state except North Carolina.
Nationwide, CNN number-cruncher Harry Enten wrote last week that
“Biden’s advantage is the steadiest in a race with an in bent running since at least 1944.”
Biden’s lead is about as steady as it can possibly be.
Not only is he up 6 points over the last month or so, but the average of polls since the beginning of the year has him ahead by 6 points.
Moreover, all the polls taken since the beginning of 2019 have him up 6 points.
The steadiness in the polls is record breaking.
He’s experiencing depression and narcissistic rage, and
it’s only going to get worse as it becomes clear that
we aren’t going to see a rapid “V-shape” economic recovery and
Covid-19 isn’t just going to “disappear.”
Trump has immense power and is as dangerous as a cornered animal.
It’s going to be a long summer.

Trump campaign sweats
as playbook that worked against Hillary
flops against Biden
a campaign of nonstop attacks and smears hasn’t put a single dent in the polling lead that Biden has maintained for months.
“It would be nice, for sure, if we were running against a replica of Hillary,” a senior Trump administration official tells the publication.
Trump has joked about hoping to see Biden drop out so that Clinton can swoop in at the convention so
he can “beat her harder than he did last time around.”
Biden has an advantage because, unlike Clinton,
he hasn’t been the object of decades’ worth of right-wing media propaganda. :loI told y'all
he hasn’t spent the last two decades as the principal boogeyman among conservatives, and beyond that,
he’s generally been pretty undefined politically,
other than the fact that he was Barack Obama’s VP,”

Looks like people are doing just fine if they can still get body bags for theatrical purposes and spend the day acting a fool at the park.

They played that on Faux News?
Exactly
Magic Mike is out of the clink
Ugh oh!
‘This man is dumb’:
Trump ignites mockery
after claiming there are ‘many per capitas’
he seemed not to know what the term “per capita” means.
arguing that America’s infection and death totals weren’t as bad as some other countries when looked at on a per-capita basis.
“And you know when you say ‘per capita,’
there’s many per capitas,”
“It’s like, per capita relative to what?
But you can look at just about any category
and
we’re really at the top, meaning positive, on a per capita basis too.”
