“HE CASHED IN”

In one of the most damning speeches against Orange Hitler, Joseph Crowley [New York Rep] just annihilated the carnival barker last night in a profound speech about the days, weeks and indeed the years that followed the 9-11 attacks. While Trump liked to point fingers at what others did wrong and talk about hundreds that protested in the streets of New Jersey, others were helping those who needed it most.

While others, Republican and Democrat, showed up, helped, brought food and support and fought for the first responders who suffered tremendous health problems, Donald Trump did little. According to Crowley, “he cashed in.”
“People forget, but the assistance package that was first proposed didn’t have a dime for New York,” Crowley said. “Hillary helped turn that around — securing $20 billion we needed to get New York going again. But, she didn’t stop there. Hundreds worked on the Pile in the days after 9/11. They came first to find survivors, but eventually searched for remains.”

ORANGE HITLER - WAR PROFITEER



Crowley said that those that were down there trying to help didn’t care about their own health. “They were told the air was fine. But, it wasn’t. And when health issues emerged years later, Hillary Clinton was still by their side.”

Clinton brought families and first responders to Washington to go door to door and lobby for those that needed help the most.

Cowley said that Hillary sought these funds to help local businesses get back to work. “Donald Trump sought a payday for his empire. It was one of our nation’s darkest days, but to Trump, it was just another chance to make a quick buck. Hillary has never and will never forget the reality of that day. And that’s why she will never give up on making us a better and stronger nation.”

FUCKFACE VON CLOWNSTICK TURNS TO CONSPIRACY GROUP FOR HIS BS

For the past several days, Fuckface Von Clownstick [AKA Donald Trump] has claimed that “thousands and thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey were celebrating the fall of the Twin Towers on 9/11.

The claim has been thoroughly debunked by multiple fact checkers. The New Jersey Attorney General investigated rumors of such celebrations immediately after the attack and found them to be “bogus.” Simply put, it did not happen.

Nevertheless, Trump is sticking to his story. On Wednesday night, Trump tweeted this to support his point:



Trump links to Infowars.com, a conspiracy website that pushes the idea that 9/11 was an inside job.

According to Infowars, the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary was a hoax, FEMA is setting up concentration camps and Andrew Breitbart was assassinated to prevent the release of damaging information about Barack Obama.

Even Infowars’ article doesn't support Trump’s claim that thousands of Muslims were celebrating on 9/11. It’s simply a woman who claims she saw a “pocket” of Muslims celebrating. Similar claims were investigated and found not to be credible.

Trump’s tweet came on a day when he also publicly mocked a reporter’s physical disability.

His antics, however, do not seem to be hurting his standings in the polls. Trump currently leads the Republican primary by 8 points and holds leads in the key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

LINDSEY GRAHAM PROMISES THAT ISIS WILL NEVER HIT AMERICA

Republican wing nut and presidential candidate Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that the Paris terrorist attacks will happen in the United States if America doesn’t rally the world, form an army, lead it, go into Syria, and destroy ISIS.
“Obama’s strategy against ISIL isn’t working,” Graham told Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union. “We don’t have until the next election to deal with ISIL. There is a 9/11 coming, and it’s coming from Syria if we don’t disrupt their operations inside of Syria.”
“What you see in Paris is coming to America, and if I’m commander in chief, it will not happen, I promise you,” he added.



As Tapper noted, Graham and former Senator Rick Santorum are the only two Republican presidential candidates who advocate a ground war in Iraq and Syria.

When asked by Tapper whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump was better prepared to take on ISIS, Graham responded that he was better prepared than both of them.

Hillary Clinton seems to be disconnected from what you need to do. She won’t embrace boots on the ground. Mr. Trump’s position regarding Syria has always been delusional.

I’m not worried about them, I’m worried about me and my homeland. I have a plan. Please, for God’s sakes, wake up to the threats we face. Hit them before they hit us. Fight them in their backyard, not our backyard. Their people are ready to be led.

America must lead, and we must have boots on the ground as part of a regional army. We need 10,000 American forces in Iraq, not 3,500. if we don’t do these things soon, what you see in Paris is coming to America, and if I’m commander in chief, it will not happen, I promise you.

This rhetoric is nothing new for Graham, who has based his entire presidential campaign an aggressive military strategy. When he announced his candidacy in June, Graham said that Americans will be “killed here at home” unless Obama sends ground troops into Iraq and Syria to defeat the terrorist threat.
“I want to be president to defeat the enemies that are trying to kill us,” he said when he at the time. “Not just penalize or criticize them or contain them, but defeat them.”
Graham’s poll numbers have remained low throughout his run for president. He was polling at under 1 percent in November, which disqualified him from even the undercard stage at the most recent Republican debate.

JEB BUSH STRUGGLES WITH GOP MENTALITY…THE DOUBLE STANDARD

During the latest stop in his media tour to defend his brother’s actions as president, Jeb Bush asked on CNN Sunday if anyone actually blames his brother for the attacks on 9/11, saying if they do, “they’re totally marginalized in our society.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper pushed back, asking Bush about the Republican Party’s double standard.
“Obviously Al-Qaeda was responsible for the terrorist attack of 9/11,” Tapper said. “But how do you respond to critics who ask if your brother and his administration bear no responsibility at all, how do you then make the jump that President Obama and Secretary Clinton are responsible for what happened at Benghazi?”

The younger Bush bumbled and stumbled with his answer.
“Well I, it’s the question on Benghazi which is hopefully will now finally get the truth to it, is: was that, was the place secure?” he said, clearly flustered. “They had a responsibility, Department of State, to have proper security.”

Bush pointed out that “it’s what you do after that matters” when it comes to leadership, yet he could not explain why the Republican Party continues to attack Clinton for the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya that left a U.S. ambassador dead.





The controversy began on Friday when Donald Trump asserted that the older Bush brother was president at the time of the 9/11 attacks. “When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time,” Trump said. “He was president, O.K.?”

Jeb Bush then contested the seemingly indisputable comment, calling Trump’s comments “pathetic” and insisting “my brother kept us safe.” The New York Times reported that “[b]laming 9/11 on Mr. Bush is taboo for Republicans and has largely been off-limits for Democrats.” Yet Republicans will force Clinton to testify before a public hearing of the U.S. House Select Committee on Benghazi this week.

DESPICABLE ME, GIFTING FOR ALLIES

DESPICABLE ME, CHRIS CHRISTIE GIVES AWAY 9/11 LEFTOVERS


Just when you thought the train had finished crashing - if you thought that Chris Christie's "bridge-gate" was disgusting, hold the phone, as it is emerging that Governor "Krispy Kreme" AKA New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has given away wreckage taken from the 9/11 World Trade Center site as political gifts to his allies.

An investigation has revealed that Christie used New Jersey's Port Authority as a "de facto political operation" where he would hand political favors to supporters. Understanding readers that the Port Authority was crucial to Christie as a means of winning the endorsement of Democrats and union leaders - which Christie used to strip his Democratic gubernatorial challenger Barbara Buono of allies and political capital.
