within 20 years: ‘That’s my plan’

Former Georgia state representative and romance novelist Stacey Abrams said she believes she will be occupying the White House by 2040. Abrams — who rose to national prominence after failing to win the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial contest and then refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the outcome — spoke to FiveThirtyEight about a slate of topics, including her presidential ambitions. The former Georgia House minority leader said she “absolutely” believes a black woman could be elected president by 2040, and she believes that woman to be her. “Yes, I do,” Abrams said when asked if she believed the country would elect her as president within the next 20 years. “That’s my plan,

During MSNBC’s impeachment coverage on Friday, host Lawrence O’Donnell stated that “American democracy once again revealed its most serious structural flaw: the United States Senate.” And called on Democrats to focus more on winning the Senate.
O’Donnell began by saying, “When you’re watching the United States Senate on days like today. It’s always important to remember that you are not watching democracy in action. The Senate is now, always has been, and always will be, an anti-democratic institution. Because the Senate does not represent people. The House of Representatives represents people. That’s why it’s called the people’s House. The U.S. Senate represents land.
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes (R-CA) predicted that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) will subpoena former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Nunes said, “I actually have some bad news for you tonight…the president’s going to be acquitted. But the problem is, this isn’t going to end. I just can’t imagine that Adam Schiff, after three-and-a-half years of this nonsense, and Jerry Nadler are not going to continue this, right? They’re going to go back and they’re going to subpoena John Bolton.
It’s all over but the shouting, as the saying goes.
The Senate has enough votes to block new witnesses in the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump. A literal 11th hour announcement Thursday night from retiring Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) ensured that there were 50 votes against new witnesses in the Senate in addition to the witnesses already heard in the House, and then Friday’s announcement from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) that she would also oppose witnesses put the Senate at 51, meaning that there would be no tie that Democrats would push Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts—who is presiding over Trump’s trial—to break.
Pennsylvania’s Office of the State Inspector General (OSIG) announced Tuesday that it had filed charges against 45 people for committing welfare fraud in the state in December 2019.
The total amount owed to the state from all the welfare fraud cases amounted to $240,125.40, according to the OSIG.
The OSIG also announced that 35 of those cases where individuals had been fraudulently receiving public assistance were classified as third-degree felonies.
If these people are convicted, they face up to seven years in prison and a maximum fine of $15,000. In specific Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), cash assistance, or daycare fraud cases,
The Senate Friday voted to usher in the end of President Trump’s impeachment trial by rejecting a motion to call for additional witnesses and documents.
Two Republicans joined 47 Democrats to vote in favor of calling for the additional evidence. The motion fell short by two votes, ending the case House Impeachment managers have been presenting for the past two weeks.
The Senate now moves into the final phase of the trial, which could last a few days longer to allow senators to deliberate and give speeches before holding final votes.
Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney dropped out of the 2020 presidential race on Friday. It's a bittersweet ending considering he was just a few days shy of the first real contest, the Iowa Caucus. The Democratic contender explained that he will "not have sufficient support to get to the 15 percent viability threshold" needed on Monday night.
Delaney declined to endorse another candidate, but did say he wants a moderate. [Tweet]

Iowa officials will release a biological man who molested up to 15 children and obtained a sex change after a preliminary report indicated the sex offender is not a threat.
The Iowa attorney general’s office filed a Jan. 9 motion announcing that it will no longer recommend that 23-year-old Joseph Matthew Smith, who now identifies as a woman, be institutionalized in the Cherokee Civil Commitment Unit for Sex Offenders (CCUSO), the Storm Lake Times reported in January.
The motion, which attorney general spokesman Lynn Hicks provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation, asks that Smith “be released from confinement to begin serving his 903B supervision after he has completed sex offender registration.”

White House counsel Pat Cipollone buried Democrats in the final day of questions from senators in President Trump’s impeachment trial.
Trump’s lead defense lawyer leveled one scathing rebuke after another at Democrats and the impeachment managers pressing the sham case against the president, calling them out Thursday for committing “domestic election interference” and warning them that they will pay the price at the ballot box.

Responding to a question about the “partisan nature of the proceedings in the House” read by Chief Justice John Roberts who is presiding over the trial, Cipollone turned the words of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi against her
Two suspects are in police custody after breaching two security checkpoints at President Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club on Friday, law enforcement officials said.
In a statement via the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol officers were trailing a black SUV when it rammed through the checkpoints at around 11:40 a.m. EST, prompting them to open fire as the suspects sped toward the front of the property.
The suspects were arrested after state highway troops and a PBSO helicopter located them on-site.
Details about possible injuries are currently unknown.
A video making the rounds on social media flashes us back to Joe Biden’s audacious lies and acts of plagiarism during his doomed 1988 presidential campaign.
The video, which is nearly five minutes long, does not engage in any editorializing. It is merely clips from 1987, clips of Biden either caught stealing his speeches from others, caught lying about his stealing of those speeches, or just outright lying about his résumé.
Take a look… [video]
The video appears to have originated with Shaun King, a controversial leftist and Bernie Sanders supporter.
As someone who remembers the ’88 campaign, who remembers the overall Biden controversy,
The Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump will reconvene on Friday afternoon to consider, finally, the question of witnesses.
On Thursday, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) indicated that he would not vote for witnesses. That fueled speculation of a potential 50-50 tie in the Senate vote. If that happens, it is possible that Chief Justice John Roberts could be called upon to cast the tie breaking vote for witnesses.
Typically, Vice President would cast a tie breaking vote in the Senate — but not in impeachment trials. As the New York Times noted earlier this week, there is precedent for the Chief Justice to cast tie breaking votes;

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton on Thursday defended the impeachment inquiry witnesses who have been attacked by President Trump, implicitly hitting back at similar criticism he has faced for his role in the process.
KXAN reported that as Bolton was speaking to a private gathering for an investment firm in Austin, Texas, he defended several of the officials who testified in the House impeachment hearings, including Alexander Vindman, William Taylor, Fiona Hill, Tim Morrison and Marie Yovanovitch.
"All of them acted in the best interest of the country as they saw it and consistent to what they thought our policies were,”
A bankruptcy filing that could spell the end of the Boy Scouts of America is “imminent,” sources told The Post. Crippled by thousands of child sex-abuse claims in multiple states—and with more victims coming forward every day—the bankruptcy case could reach into the “billions,” said one lawyer who represents 1,800 men who allege they were molested as scouts. The filing, expected in Delaware, could come any day or in the next couple of weeks, sources said.(Snip) Any bankruptcy by the Boy Scouts would be “historic” given the breadth of the organization. It is active in every state and territory,

Talk of a “California Exodus” is sweeping the country—and so are anxieties about its effects on the rest of the West.

Utah Republican senator Willard “Mitt” Romney faces a citizen effort in his home state to recall him from office.

President Donald Trump appears to have added another name to the list of terrorists that his administration has killed as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reportedly launched a drone strike that killed the leader of Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen. “The officials expressed confidence that the Qaeda leader, Qassim al-Rimi, was killed in a January airstrike in Yemen but were awaiting confirmation before making a public announcement,” The New York Times reported. “If confirmed, his death could represent a significant blow to the Qaeda affiliate, which remains one of the most potent branches of the terrorist group. The Yemen branch, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, has tried to attack
DES MOINES — Hillary Clinton said on Friday in a podcast interview that Senator Bernie Sanders and his supporters did not do enough to unify the Democratic Party after the prolonged 2016 primary, calling the behavior of his supporters “distressing” and saying it affected the general election.
“All the way up until the end, a lot of people highly identified with his campaign were urging people to vote third party, urging people not to vote,” Mrs. Clinton said in an interview with Emily Tisch Sussman for her podcast “Your Primary Playlist.” “It had an impact.”
How Not to Impeach a President
26 replies
With the 51 to 49 vote not to call witnesses, the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump is on track to an acquittal. And so the Trump impeachment saga is coming to an end not with a bang but a whine. “We wuz robbed!” shriek the foot-stomping Democrats as they repeat their poll-tested mantra that the trial was rigged because no witnesses were called to testify. Consequently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has decreed that the president will remain impeached forever, and his presidency and all that flows from it will be deemed unclean and illegitimate.
Obviously, this latest failed effort to depose Trump has left the Democrats frustrated, bitterly disappointed

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton pocketed $115,000 from Ukrainian steel oligarch Victor Pinchuk’s foundation shortly before entering President Donald Trump’s White House as national security adviser, a position first held in the Trump White House by General Michael Flynn. (Snip)
Bolton accepted $115,000 from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation for a pair of speeches in September 2017 and February 2018.
At the former speech in Kiev, Bolton sat on a panel and basically expressed that the national security establishment would not allow Trump to become unconventional on policy, stating, “The notion that [Trump’s presidency] is going to represent a dramatic break in foreign policy is just wrong. Calm
Now that the Senate trial is over, I hope Democrats have plenty of water and aspirin in preparation for the raging impeachment headache they're about to endure.
Senate Republicans voted Friday not to admit any additional witnesses or evidence, the right thing to do in this ridiculous impeachment process, effectively ending our national nightmare, wherein we were expected to be absolutely outraged that President Trump asked Ukraine to investigate a matter that journalists in the United States themselves have been investigating.
All that's left to do is vote to either convict or acquit, and it looks a lot like acquittal.
I suspect that, when Democratic voters asked for impeachment,
