Republican tactic to divert the blame and responsibilty from Trump to Biden

Karl Rove Goes Off on Epic Rant Over Disastrous Coronavirus Response of…Trump’s Rival: ‘What Did Joe Biden Know and When Did He Know It?’

https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/karl-rove-goes-off-on-epic-rant-over-disastrous-coronavirus-response-oftrumps-rival-what-did-joe-biden-know-and-when-did-he-know-it/


On a day when the political landscape was rocked by damning revelations from Rage, Bob Woodward’s new book, about President Donald Trump admitting that he lied to the public about the deadly risks of the coronavirus, GOP political strategist Karl Rove delivered an epic, five minute-long rant on Fox News about the disastrous, dishonest response to the pandemic…by Joe Biden.

Appearing Wednesday night on the friendly confines of Fox’s primetime show, Hannity — and just moments before the eponymous host interviewed Trump by phone — Rove pulled out his trademark whiteboard to try to prove that real negligence on Covid-19 was perpetrated by the man who was not leading the country at the time and not privy to real-time, national security and public health assessments from the U.S. intelligence community. Instead of addressing the bombshell details in Woodward’s book, Rove went on offense and attacked the perceived strength of the GOP rival, a tactic he famously deployed while George W. Bush’s campaign architect.


“Karl, it’s interesting, because he’s been able to hide in a basement bunker, he comes out, puts out his head, says a few things, but he really has got this whole other army in front of him,” host Sean Hannity claimed, reprising a well-worn Trump campaign talking point about the media. “Pretty much 99%, 99.9% of the media, he is their favorite candidate, so they are doing the work for him, aren’t they?”

“Well, yeah, but he went over the top today,” Rove said in response. “The fact that the media didn’t call him to account or make — I have three points I want to make.”

Then Rove pulled out his whiteboard and ran through a list of Biden’s blistering comments from today as well as many going back to January, when the Democratic presidential candidate wrote a prescient op-ed that both warned of a possible Covid outbreak and that Trump was unprepared to handle it.

“First of all, I was intrigued by his rhetoric in his speech,” Rove said. “He said ‘The president failed to do his job on purpose.’ That is to say, the president wanted people to die, he wanted them to get sick, and he did it on purpose. [Biden] said, this is ‘a life and death betrayal.’ I mean, that is really over the top.”

But Trump was heard on tape earlier on Wednesday telling Woodward: “I wanted to always play it down” to the public even after privately admitting to the journalist that the virus was “deadly stuff.”

Rove, however, ran through a list of critiques about Not-President Biden’s never-executed plans to deal with the ongoing outbreak, which has claimed more than 190,000 American lives so far.

Woodward - "But let me ask you this. I mean, we share one thing in common. We’re White, privileged, who- my father was a lawyer and a judge in Illinois, and we know what your dad did.

Do you have any sense that that privilege has isolated and put you in a cave to a certain extent, as it put me, and I think lots of White, privileged people in a cave. And that we have to work our way out of it to understand the anger and the pain, particularly Black people feel in this country. Do you feel–"

Trump - "No. You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn’t you? Just listen to you. Wow. No, I don’t feel that at all."

SportsCaster Semenya Loses Appeal To Have Testosterone Rules Overturned by feedthenation(op): 10:44am On Sep 10, 2020
https://sports.yahoo.com/caster-semenya-loses-appeal-testosterone-limits-hormones-olympics-183530648.html

Semenya will now be unable to defend her 800-meter title at the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics next summer.

Court dismisses Semenya’s appeal
The Swiss Federal Tribunal ruled that the Court of Arbitration for Sport could continue requiring female runners to take hormone suppressants so that their naturally elevated testosterone levels were within a certain limit.

The Swiss Federal Tribunal said CAS “had the right to uphold the conditions of participation issued for female athletes with the genetic variant ‘46 XY DSD’ in order to guarantee fair competition for certain running disciplines in female athletics.”

Per the AP, the court said it could only examine the case based on “whether the CAS decision violates fundamental and widely recognized principles of public order. That is not the case.”

Semenya calls out ruling as ‘wrong side of history’
“I am very disappointed by this ruling, but refuse to let World Athletics drug me or stop me from being who I am. Excluding female athletes or endangering our health solely because of our natural abilities puts World Athletics on the wrong side of history. I will continue to fight for the human rights of female athletes, both on the track and off the track, until we can all run free the way we were born. I know what is right and will do all I can to protect basic human rights, for young girls everywhere.”

Dorothee Schramm, a partner with Sidley Austin LLP, led Caster’s appeal and also released a statement:

“This decision is a call to action — as a society, we cannot allow a sports federation to override the most fundamental of human rights.”

Semenya unable to defend 800m title
Semenya is a South African middle-distance runner with two Olympic titles (2012, 2016) in the 800m and three World Championships in the event. The debate over natural testosterone, hormone suppressants and the impact of all on female runners has been going on since 2009, when Semenya won the World Championships at 18 years old.

She will now no longer be able to defend her title at the Tokyo Olympics unless she lowers her testosterone levels. The ruling applies to events from the 400M to the mile. It does not include the 1,500-meter event. The Olympics were rescheduled to July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

'Play it down': Trump admits to concealing the true threat of coronavirus in new Woodward book - with tapes

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/09/politics/bob-woodward-rage-book-trump-coronavirus/index.html

President Donald Trump admitted he knew weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he repeatedly played it down publicly, according to legendary journalist Bob Woodward in his new book "Rage."

"This is deadly stuff," Trump told Woodward on February 7.
In a series of interviews with Woodward, Trump revealed that he had a surprising level of detail about the threat of the virus earlier than previously known. "Pretty amazing," Trump told Woodward, adding that the coronavirus was maybe five times "more deadly" than the flu.

Trump's admissions are in stark contrast to his frequent public comments at the time insisting that the virus was "going to disappear" and "all work out fine."
The book, using Trump's own words, depicts a President who has betrayed the public trust and the most fundamental responsibilities of his office. In "Rage," Trump says the job of a president is "to keep our country safe." But in early February, Trump told Woodward he knew how deadly the virus was, and in March, admitted he kept that knowledge hidden from the public.
"I wanted to always play it down," Trump told Woodward on March 19, even as he had declared a national emergency over the virus days earlier. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."
If instead of playing down what he knew, Trump had acted decisively in early February with a strict shutdown and a consistent message to wear masks, social distance and wash hands, experts believe that thousands of American lives could have been saved.


McEnany defends Trump after Woodward book claims he said coronavirus 'deadly,' despite publicly downplaying it

Woodward book: Trump privately called COVID-19 ‘deadly’ early on, boasted of secret weapons system

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended President Trump on Wednesday after a book by journalist Bob Woodward claimed Trump said he knew the coronavirus was “deadly” but went to great lengths to downplay the virus in public.

“When you are facing insurmountable challenges, it is important to express confidence, it is important to express calm,” McEnany told reporters in a briefing from the White House.

“He makes clear that he doesn’t want to see chaos, by the way, which is the second part of the quote which you failed to read,” she continued, addressing a reporter who had read part of the quote.

“The president just days after having this discussion with Bob Woodward, said this from this podium, on March 30, he said, ‘I do want them to stay calm, we are doing a great job, if you look at the individual statements they are all true, stay calm, it will go away but it's important to stay calm,’” the press secretary said. “So this president does what leaders do -- good leaders -- it’s stay calm and resolute at a time when you face an insurmountable challenge.”

I'll say this before a white person says it but many are waiting for a white person to say it so that it's official.

Southeast Nigeria is the #1 tourist destination on earth next to Mecca Dubia and Paris. 'December time' is what other countries and people call tourism. If 2 million muslims go to hajj every year, I can confidently tell you that same amount of Igbos fly in from overseas, or drive in from Lagos, Abuja, Kano, etc in the same span of time. Every airline in the world knows this. In December the hottest ticket worldwide is a ticket to Nigeria. Nigerians regularly pay 2k-4k to make this trip while most non-african countries can never sell you a ticket for more than 1500 to go anywhere.

After paying the 2-4 you will know lodge in a lagos hotel, giving your money to lagos, then drive to Ore, eat, drive through edo drive through Delta until you're home. You get home and where ever you stop there are no less that 100-500 people who made the exact same trip you did in your village talkless of state. This is every state in Igbo land and everyday from 1/4th of the year. Why not give these people an airport? This type of traveling is abnormal world wide. In countries where the average person doesn't leave their state like the US, 1 city the size of Onitsha will have 2-4 airports. Forget about 'the average nigerian'. The Nigerians flying in from the US alone will overwhelm any airport in the southeast that takes international flights per state.
Your analysis is so straight to the point, the Federal Government of Nigeria don't know the amount of revenue that will be generated if the South East one standard international airport.

International airlines from the U.S. and Europe always anticipates the level of revenue they get from Igbos travelling back to Nigeria between last week in November and 2nd week of January, as those weeks are generally low season for airlines due to winter.

Michael Cohen Claims Trump Was Directly Involved in National Enquirer Attacks on His 2016 GOP Primary Rivals


https://www.mediaite.com/tv/michael-cohen-claims-trump-was-directly-involved-in-national-enquirer-attacks-on-his-2016-gop-primary-rivals/

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen spoke out to Rachel Maddow Tuesday night and talked about a range of subjects, including President Donald Trump’s infamous relationship with the National Enquirer.

Maddow noted that he claims in his book that Trump “personally approved that insane story in the National Enquirer” that said Ted Cruz’s dad was linked to the man who killed JFK.

“Do you know if Senator Cruz knows that Donald Trump approved that personally and made that happen personally?” she asked.

“He does now,” Cohen wryly responded.

Maddow asked Cohen if Trump was really getting the Enquirer “to run stories one after the other on all the Republican primary candidates.”

“As each candidate was moving up, let’s say Marco Rubio, David Pecker would reach out to me and he would give me a list of things that he was intending to do in order to squash Ted Cruz’s or Marco Rubio’s rise, whoever was rising in the poll, that’s who became the person that we needed to knock out of the race,” Cohen said. “With Marco Rubio, you may remember, there was photos of him in a swimming pool, that he had a drug problem, and a sorts of other… we’ll call them salacious rumors. And every time that they would be made — they would be provided to me by David Pecker, I would immediately take them into Mr. Trump’s office, we would sit down, we would talk about it, he would approve it and then I would contact David. Next thing you know, two days later on the front cover, ‘Marco Rubio has a drug problem.'”
