The Hill (via Yahoo Archived): Maxine Waters tests positive for coronavirus after Summit of the Americas.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for the second this year, has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending last week’s Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles.
"Yesterday, after learning of a potential exposure at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, I was notified that I tested positive for COVID," Waters said in a statement released Tuesday. "I am currently isolating and have no symptoms."
[.]
The 83-year-old California Democrat, who also tested positive for the virus in April, noted then that she had already received her initial vaccine regimen in addition to two booster shots[.]
She has "no symptoms"? Well, it can't possibly be Covid, then, because everyone who is vaxxed and boosted and gets Covid experiences "mild symptoms."
So you know what to do, right? (Copy, paste, publish!) Link.
The Senate on Friday voted down a motion to allow for additional witnesses to testify as part of the upper chamber’s impeachment trial, all but ensuring a quick acquittal of President Donald Trump.Basically, The House didn't do their job as prosecutors. They failed. Their case was tossed out of court. The House had the opportunity to have John Bolton testify before Adam Schiff's Clown Show. The House chose not to pursue Bolton. They tried to pass their failure on this onto The Senate, who, correctly, would have none of this nonsense from the House.
The 51 to 49 vote thwarted Democrats’ ongoing effort to hear from current and former Trump administration officials such as acting White House Chief of State Mick Mulvaney and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
[.]
Only two Republicans — Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) — voted in favor of the motion for more witnesses, with the former saying he believes that it was important to hear from Bolton.
Breitbart: Nancy Pelosi Uses More than a Dozen Commemorative Pens to Sign ‘Sad’ Articles of Impeachment.House Democrats formally triggered the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump early Wednesday evening with a solemn ceremony and procession steeped in tradition that transmitted across the Capitol the two articles of impeachment finalized only minutes before.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared herself “sad” as she used more than a dozen commemorative pens to sign the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening.
The occasion was “so sad, so tragic for our country,” Pelosi told reporters, noting the “difficult time in our country’s history.” She then approached a table that had been prepared with the documents, and two dishes full of pens for her to use — about half a dozen pens in each.
Pelosi then sat and signed the articles, one for “abuse of power” and one for “obstruction of Congress.” She applied each pen, paused every few seconds, switched pens, and then continued.
Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, who testified as a Democrat witness in the House Judiciary Committee’s public hearings on impeachment, argues President Donald Trump is technically not impeached until the House submits the articles to the Senate.
In a Bloomberg News opinion-editorial published Thursday, Feldman writes the definition of impeachment, according to the framers, “assumed that impeachment was a process, not just a House vote,” and impeachment is official only when the articles are transmitted to the Senate, where lawmakers are “obliged by the Constitution to hold a trial.”
Feldman writes:
If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president. If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all.
That’s because “impeachment” under the Constitution means the House sending its approved articles of to the Senate, with House managers standing up in the Senate and saying the president is impeached.
As for the headlines we saw after the House vote saying, “TRUMP IMPEACHED,” those are a media shorthand, not a technically correct legal statement. So far, the House has voted to impeach (future tense) Trump. He isn’t impeached (past tense) until the articles go to the Senate and the House members deliver the message.
So it wasn't Russia? Or, it is/was, but right now isn't but will be? Again? Gee, when...November 2020?From coast to coast, the Resistance is cheering the impeachment of President Donald Trump in the House. They shouldn’t be. For in seeking to destroy him, they have only made him more powerful, and undercut themselves.

It is said that history is written by the winners. That’s almost true. It is made by the winners, but written by the loud. Trump is a real-estate developer and reality TV star who talked his way into the White House against two major political dynasties – Clinton and Bush – and both the Republican and Democrat establishments; through a gauntlet of US intelligence agencies, as it turns out; and in the face of near-unanimous opposition from the media.
So his impeachment is indeed a historic moment – just not in the way his enemies think.
77th or so out of 435 members. Not too shabby.Congressman Al Green – Estimated Net Worth: $4,507,505 – lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 when he was ranked 77th most wealthy representative.
Female rights activists in Saudi Arabia have been sexually assaulted, tortured with electric shocks and flogged so hard they cannot stand, Amnesty has reported, as British MPs ratcheted up pressure on Riyadh to grant them access to the detainees.Will the women (and others) mentioned in the title of the post be lighting up their social media accounts expressing their same screeching outrage that they express over the "deplorable" treatment of women in the U.S. by President Donald Trump?
At least 10 rights defenders have been tortured, including being made to kiss each other while interrogators watched, Amnesty said in a report released on Friday.
[.]
Others held in the secret prisons were tortured with electric shocks, flogged so hard they could not stand, or waterboarded[.]
[.]
None have been officially charged or referred to trial, most have no legal representation.

The Saudi government has repeatedly denied the claims of mistreatment of the detainees.
Maxine Waters, the Cali Rep. who calls for Trump’s impeachment every other day, is now saying that Trump is bullying California because he didn’t win the state[.]And in December 2017, Saint Maxine decried Fox News as being "holy" and "bullying everybody."
[.]
...she thought President Donald Trump was being “vindictive” and “taking it out” on California[.]
At a weekend rally in California, Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters encouraged her supporters...
"Go forth in multitudes ye Liberal Fringe and Harass those who disagree with 'us'. Do not allow them to dine in peace, buy gasoline in peace nor shop in department stores in peace. We shall harass them and bully them day and night, without end, for eternity. And, God is on our side! Except on that abortion thingy. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"Okay, she didn't say those exact words...but yeah, that's what she said.
What's with the sudden memory loss, because Saint Maxine did indeed tell her minions how they should protest. "Harass them" when dining, when buying gasoline and when in department stores. For once, Saint Maxine's words were not unclear."I have nothing to do with the way people decide to protest," she said. "I have no way of telling people how to protest, what they should protest."
