Bum of the House Nancy Pelosi

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

AS NANCY PELOSI HAS REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, SHE IS THE BUM OF THE HOUSE.

SHE HAS PUSHED THROUGH BAILOUTS FOR BUSINESSES BUT NO BAILOUTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

SHE HAS LOOKED THE OTHER WAY WHILE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS WERE GUTTED.

LAST WEEK, MANY RENTERS RECEIVED AN E-MAIL THAT ANNOUNCED THE FOLLOWING:

It was our pleasure to waive late fees in the month of August despite the CARES Act prohibition on late fees ending in July. We hope this provided you with some additional relief and peace of mind.

As of September 1, we will resume regular business procedures and assess late fees on past due balances as outlined in your lease agreement.

YEP, THE CARES ACT RAN OUT TOO. NANCY NEVER DELIVERED ON HER PROMISED HEROES ACT. SHE NEVER DELIVERS ON ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE.

NANCY IS A WORTHLESS BUM, A PIECE OF CRAP MORE INTERESTED IN ENRICHING HERSELF WHILE POSING AS A PUBLIC SERVANT THAN WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

FOR ANY WHO MISSED IT, JERRY WHITE (WSWS) REPORTED FRIDAY:

More than one million workers in the United States filed new unemployment claims last week as the social and economic crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic continues to punish workers while the stock market reaches new highs.

NANCY'S A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP WHO SERVES CORPORATIONS AND SCREWS OVER THE PEOPLE.

AS TRINA HAS REPEATEDLY NOTED, WE ARE NOT ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. THERE ARE PEOPLE SUFFERING IN THE PANDEMIC AND THERE ARE PEOPLE GETTING RICHER DURING THE PANDEMIC. NANCY THE BUM REPRESENTS THE RICH ONLY.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Last summer, a platoon was sent home early from Iraq. James Laporta and Julie Watson (AP) report this early move was the result of a Navy Seal raping a sailor:

The story of the platoon being pulled from Iraq has been previously reported, but documents obtained by The Associated Press through the Freedom of Information Act and interviews with nearly a dozen people give the first in-depth view into what led to the rare recall. The documents and interviews show that women deployed with the SEALs say they were ogled and sexually harassed during the deployment. Records obtained by the AP from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service also reveal a previously unknown reported allegation of sexual misconduct against the SEAL platoon chief, Special Warfare Operator Chief Nicholas Olson, two days before the Fourth of July barbecue. Olson denies any wrongdoing.

The platoon was withdrawn after the Navy made an unusually public push to strengthen order and discipline in its secretive elite force amid a series of scandals involving SEALs. The misconduct has included cocaine use and tampering of drug tests by members of SEAL Team 10 based in Virginia, and last year’s conviction of Navy SEAL Adam Matthews, who was sentenced to one year in military prison for his role in the 2017 hazing-related death of an Army Green Beret in Africa.

The Navy fired three SEAL leaders in the aftermath of the alleged rape on the Iraq air base and charged Special Warfare Operator First Class Adel A. Enayat, an enlisted SEAL, with sexual assault, aggravated assault via strangulation and assault by battery for allegedly biting the victim on the face, according to his charge sheet. He faces a court-martial in November.

A hearing in the case was held Friday at Naval Base San Diego. At the hearing, Jeremiah Sullivan, the lawyer for the SEAL, said he was concerned Enayat, who identifies as “non-white,” cannot get a fair trial because of systemic racism in the military justice system, pointing out that there are no Black judges on the Navy bench.

Andrew Dyer (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE) adds:

Enayat, who has fair skin and reddish-blond hair, is “non-White,” Sullivan said. He declined to specify Enayat’s race or ethnicity when asked by the Union-Tribune after court, citing his client’s privacy.

Enayat arrived to court in civilian clothes and, despite a lingering heat wave, wore a gray hooded sweatshirt upon leaving the courthouse Friday with the hood pulled up. He wore his dress white uniform during the hearing.

Assault in the military continues. Eight years of chatter under Barack Obama didn't change a thing. Policies might have, empty words didn't. Joe Biden was the Vice President for those eight years and now he wants to be president. Molly Nagle (ABC NEWS) reports on Joe's interview with David Muir:

“We saw the president just this week, during the convention, he traveled to Pennsylvania. He traveled to Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, all of that while you were making your case to the American people. I understand the restrictions of COVID and campaigning in this time. But can you win a presidential election from home?” Muir asked Biden during an interview Friday in Wilmington, Delaware.

“We will,” Biden said. “We're gonna follow the science, what the scientists tell us."

Does Joe mean the doctors? What the doctors state? Of the same interview, Miranda Devine (NEW YORK POST) offers:

Then he laughed off a question about his mental fitness.

“Watch me.”

Trouble is, we’ve been trying to watch Biden all year. We don’t ever get to see him unedited or without a teleprompter, without his wife or some helper at his side.

Last night’s interview was done alongside running mate Kamala Harris, ready to mop up if he lost his train of thought.

So low are expectations of Biden that his acceptance speech at the funereal Democratic convention last week was hailed as a miracle, the best speech of his life, perhaps even in the history of the world.

In truth, it was a string of cheap shots and clichés encrusted in saccharine, delivered in a halting, shouty monotone.

Everyone waited with bated breath to see if this elderly man auditioning to be president could manage to read a 24-minute speech from a teleprompter. In degree of difficulty, it’s not exactly a triple pike. But the sense of relief was palpable among Democrats and their media allies.

Hiding and lying appear to be Joe's campaign strategy. REUTERS notes:

Biden was critical of Trump’s travel. “Look what happened with his events. People die, people get together, they don’t wear masks, they end up getting COVID,” he said.

There has been no direct link between a Trump campaign event and an outbreak of the virus, although health officials in Oklahoma said a surge in cases there was likely connected to a Trump rally held at a Tulsa arena in June. Since then, Trump has staged open-air events with small crowds.

Joe can't stop lying and wasn't there a direct link to his campaign urging people to vote in the primary -- despite the pandemic -- and they're getting ill?

Robin Roberts (GOOD MORNING AMERICA) interviewed Joe and Kamala Harris together. This was a troubling moment:

BIDEN: I mean she had the best recommendation she can get: my son Beau, not a joke. Beau asked me when she was U.S. Attorney General, they were attorneys general together taking on the banks, and I got a call and he said, "Dad, I want you to go to California." I said, "OK honey, what for?" He said, "I want you to nominate Kamala Harris for United States Senate." I said OK, without asking. And they were good friends and Beau had great respect for Kamala, knew she was tough. She has a backbone like a ramrod. She's completely thoroughly honest, and so I, you know, I'm not joking. You knew my relationship with Beau. So it was easy for me, it was easy for me.
