Trump 2020 campaign ruthlessly mocked as a ‘bunch of morons’ for sending fake bricks to Pelosi and Schumer
The Trump campaign is fundraising by having supporters send fake bricks to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer — and Twitter can’t figure out what the strategy is.
“Since Chuck and Nancy keep stonewalling the President,” Brad Parscale, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, tweeted Friday, “we’ll send the wall to them, brick by brick, until they agree to secure the border!”

The Daily Beast’s Gideon Resnick noted that the phony bricks have a number and a call to action about Fentanyl on them — which makes the tactic all the more confusing.
“Confused by the strategy here: is the goal for Pelosi and Schumer to send the texts?” Resnick tweeted.

CNN White House reporter Jeremy Diamond, however, had a darker outlook.
“The overtones of this are not pretty,” he wrote. “And Trump has said he’s now aiming for a steel barrier.”
The Trump campaign is asking supporters to contribute to “send a brick” to Pelosi & Schumer to build the wall….
The overtones of this are not pretty.

Decent way for the campaign to gather a bunch more mobile phone numbers to add to its own text lists. https://t.co/TCC29L5pNL

Months after a deranged Trump supporter sent the president's opponents package bombs, Trump's 2020 campaign manager urges Trump supporters to mail bricks to Trump's opponents.

Fox News is so obsessed with Ocasio-Cortez they said her name three times as much as CNN or MSNBC
It's clear that Fox News and other right-wing reporters are trying to create boogymen in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A new analysis by CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, revealed that the conservative network has said Ocasio-Cortez's name more than CNN and MSNBC combined.
"First, Ocasio-Cortez and her "Squad" mate Ilhan Omar have been talked about a lot more on Fox than on other cable news channels this year," Stelter wrote. "Second, the freshmen have been getting more attention on cable than seasoned leaders of the Democratic Party."

Congress should ask Mueller these specific questions about Trump’s involvement with Russia: Conservative columnist
Conservative Never-Trump columnist Jennifer Rubin outlined the essential questions that Democrats should ask special counsel Robert Mueller in an op-ed for the Washington Post.
"Rather than engage in the normal scattershot questioning punctuated by speechifying, the House Judiciary Committee should assign its able attorney Norman Eisen to conduct the questioning," proposed Rubin. "Members could then follow up with additional questions.'
One question she proposed asking: "Mr. Mueller, the attorney general said you did not find 'collusion.' However, you did not look for collusion. Please explain what you looked for and how that differs from [Attorney General William] Barr’s assertion that you essentially cleared President Trump of collusion?"
