JAMM: Hitting Trump Back Twice As Hard Edition
Below The Belt, Front And Back
Welcome to the Jim Acosta Morning Memo on the Monday after Republicans caved and gave Trump his AG pick, but Democrats keep fighting back.
Trump’s Stunning Racist Attack: Shocking but not surprising was this disgusting post by Trump, attacking Abdul El-Sayed. And not for nothing, Joe Biden would have been impeached just for the apostrophe misuse.
"Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s”
The El-Sayed Shot: When Jim Acosta interviewed him, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a brutal below-the-belt clap-back to Trump’s last racist attack.
The candidate managed to cut even deeper — without the racism — in his rejoinder to this one.
He's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other but joined in the interest in making billions of dollars off of you, or two people who genuinely love each other enjoying some pancakes together
The El-Sayed Chaser: Abdul got Trump coming and going, you might say, with this pants-shitting jab to a Sky News reporter.
Sky News: “[Trump] says you’re full of shit”
Abdul El-Sayed: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office”
Cart Blanche Straight Through The Senate: After Bill Cassidy’s monumental cave, the GOP Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as AG on Friday. Murkowski and Collins voted with Democrats, a gesture that was made easier by Cassidy’s genuflection.
Nevermind! Part One: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine is looking to throw in the towel, according to three CNN sources:
Over the last few weeks, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine has privately made clear to other top Trump advisers that the US needs to find an off-ramp from the war with Iran — because the military options on the table to escalate the conflict could backfire and airpower alone is unlikely to achieve President Donald Trump’s stated objectives, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Nevermind! Part Two: Trump is privately trying to sell ending the war without addressing the entire reason he says he started it:
For weeks, President Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the Iran war should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating the idea privately to senior aides that he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal, U.S. officials said.
