Trump's team sinks to a new low after Laura Cooper REVEALS aid timeline





She went from a liberal non-voter to burning books with white supremacists. Here's why she finally left the movement

In May 2017, Samantha went to a book burning in upstate New York. She had entered the inner circle of the modern white power movement called the alt-right, and it was the moment its activists see in retrospect as the peak of its power.

The home was classically suburban, with a picnic table and a fire pit in the backyard. The atmosphere was like a family barbecue, but she felt an air of intensity. They stood around the fire and cheered as books were tossed into the flames. Some gave Nazi salutes. Samantha did, too.

"It's all so surreal," Samantha says now. "You're literally standing there, going, 'I'm at a book burning at someone's house. Like, there are families that live next door. There's probably a nice person who lives across the street, and I'm burning books about Jewish people.' ... It doesn't even feel like it's wrong or right. It just feels unreal."

At the time, she texted a friend that it was the best weekend of her life.

But aside from the occasional angry husband outside of Mendel’s home in Flatbush, where he lived with his wife and their nine children, and aside from the occasional slashed tire or dead fish on the porch, Mendel was considered a necessary if unpleasant feature of Orthodox life. “For Jewish fundamentalists, he was a hero because he made the system work,” said Susan Aranoff, a longtime get activist. “And the system has to work, remember, because if the Torah is right and just, then its law can’t be wrong.”

Trump’s bluster crashes into a barrage of impeachment facts


https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/11/trump-instincts-unimpeachable-presidency-ukraine-069015


But Trump’s tactics of speaking directly to supporters, branding catchphrases and casting critical information as fake may not work as well on impeachment as Democrats gather testimony and evidence from top officials not beholden to the Trump orbit. Even Trump himself is not sure he can beat impeachment, said a person close to the White House.



Trump Jr. heckled off stage — by Trump’s own supporters




Donald Trump Jr. was heckled — by his father’s own supporters — during a book-tour stop over the weekend, a report said Monday.

President Trump’s eldest son was on stage in a lecture hall at the University of California on Sunday to promote his new tome, “Triggered: How The Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us,’’ when the 450 people in the audience were told there would be no Q&A session with him “due to time constraints,’’ the Guardian said.

The White House’s most conservative supporters, who had chanted “USA! USA!” when Trump Jr. walked on stage, soon started yelling, “Q&A! Q&A!”

They refused to stop, even as Trump Jr. tried to argue that if he did a question-and-answer session, the Republican administration’s liberal enemies would twist his answers to suit their own agendas.
