Trump is Russia's greatest asset. Putin destroying the US from within without a single shot fired. Trump makes Putin look like a genius.
Trump was impeached because of Hunter Biden's board appointment in Ukraine, guess what, his previous Energy Sec Rick Perry buddy is being appointed to Ukraine gas company

Ukraine gas company to add Rick Perry pick to board

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/10/ukraine-gas-company-to-add-rick-perry-pick-to-board-412261

The Ukraine state-owned natural gas company caught up in President Donald Trump’s impeachment investigation has appointed a U.S. businessman pushed by former Energy Secretary Rick Perry to its board, two people with direct knowledge of the decision told POLITICO on Thursday.

Houston-based oil and gas executive Robert Bensh is set join the board of Naftogaz, pending final paperwork, the two people said, adding that his appointment has drawn opposition from some other board members. They said the move has led at least one of them, Amos Hochstein, to prepare to resign.

The Ukraine government informed Naftogaz last week that it had approved Bensh, two people with knowledge said.

The appointment adds to questions about Perry’s role in Ukrainian energy politics and whether the former Texas governor had pressured the government there to buy U.S. energy supplies to win favor with the Trump administration. Perry, as first reported by POLITICO, had originally pushed Naftogaz to accept Bensh and another Perry associate, Texas oil and gas executive with ties to Ukraine, Michael Bleyzer, onto its board.

Treasury Department says Ukrainian linked to Rudy Giuliani is 'Russian agent'

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/treasury-department-ukrainian-linked-rudy-giuliani-russian-agent/story?id=72942083&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_headlines_hed

The man the Treasury Department called "an active Russian agent for over a decade," met with President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

Andrii Derkach, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, and three other Russian-linked individuals were designated, Thursday, by Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, for attempting to influence the U.S. electoral process.

"Andrii Derkach and other Russian agents employ manipulation and deceit to attempt to influence elections in the United States and elsewhere around the world," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.

Last November, Derkach appeared with Giuliani as part of a One America News (OAN) "investigation" that aired in December, the same week the House of Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against the president.

Trump Summer of failed promises:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-made-covid-promises-fall-stand/story?id=72938973&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_twopack_hed

Widespread rapid testing. Football stadiums filled with fans. A rebounding jobs market.

Those are just some of the promises and predictions President Donald Trump and his administration have made since the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic about what the federal government would deliver by September and before -- a month that at one point seemed distant enough that it would leave ample time to develop plans to combat the virus.

Plagued by what critics call a slow response to the virus out of the gate, the self-imposed deadline has been used time and again by senior administration officials, health experts on the White House coronavirus task force and the president himself as part of an effort to prophesize progress in the ongoing response to the coronavirus and the elusive return to normalcy.

Now September is here, and an ABC News review found that nearly all of those promises and predictions -- on testing, nursing homes, and death rates, among others -- have either fallen short or are drastically behind.

Warm summer weather did not cause the virus to vanish. Testing still lags in nearly every metric. And with federal support funds depleted, the nation's employers are emerging from the summer without any sense of an imminent resurgence.

Statement: Virus gone by end of summer
Reality: Pandemic rages into fall

Statement: Trump said death toll prediction overblown
Reality: Death toll higher by summer

Statement: Course correction for the job market
Reality: An improvement, but joblessness still higher than pre-pandemic

Statement: White House says country on track to 'do' 100 million tests by September
Reality: Just over 85 million administered as of Sept. 1

Statement: Capability to test 50 million people a month
Reality: Not even half

Statement: 50% of tests conducted would yield results in 10 minutes
Reality: Turnaround time has picked up, but no evidence of widespread deployment of rapid tests

Statement: More than a million tests per day, access to 20 million rapid tests and 23 million point of care tests
Reality: Testing level half of the promised capacity

Statement: Sports must go on
Reality: A number of different approaches

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.

Always remember that suspected death from covid 19 is different from death from covid 19.

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."

Sports › Caster 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.
