Waching daily Feb 17 2019

This week, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, while on a phone call with top Republican

donors told the donors that the reason the Republicans lost the midterms this year was

because those Pesky tea party Republicans on the House Freedom Caucus specifically because

those tea party Republicans, but the Freedom Caucus wanted to strip people of the preexisting

condition coverage afforded to them by the affordable care act that act by those tea

party Republicans.

According to Kevin McCarthy on the phone call with donors is what made Republicans lose

the midterms.

Had it not been for that, had it not been for the far right lunacy of the tea party,

they would still be in power today.

Well, here's the thing that I think Kevin McCarthy needs to understand.

10 years ago when these little tea party rallies first started popping up funded by Americans

for prosperity and the Koch brothers, you had a chance then to get rid of these folks.

You had a chance to ignore them.

Instead, Kevin, you and your Republican Party welcome them with open arms because along

with the tea party came a lot of Koch brothers money.

That's when their yearly spending on politics skyrocketed.

They were always spending a lot, but once they invented the tea party, man, it went

through the roof and you just could not help yourself.

You embrace the tea party with one hand while reaching for that cash with the other you

and all of the other Republicans in DC.

So you can't sit there and say that, oh drat those pesky tea partiers.

They're ruining our party.

The tea party is the Republican Party.

There is no separating the two.

There hasn't been for a decade now.

That's how long these idiots have been out there doing this, pushing your party further

to the right, alienating middle of the road, moderate and progressive voters and dumbing

down the Republican Party and the American populace to the point where we get a guy like

Donald Trump in office.

Donald Trump has embraced everything the tea party has stood for.

The Republican Party, has embraced everything that the tea party stood for.

So I know you're trying to do your dial for dollars, get these high price donors to start

given to your campaign and blaming the tea party while saying, I didn't do anything wrong.

It was them.

You allow them to do this.

You have allowed them to do all of this and more importantly, you have allowed them to

shape the future of your party, which is a party that has zero ideas.

You have nothing.

There is literally no platform today that the Republican Party stands on other than

cutting taxes for the and repealing regulations.

That's it.

Those are the only two ideas the Republican party has had essentially since the 1980s.

That's all they are.

They have no new ideas.

They don't know how to make things better for the American public and even after droning

on about wanting to repeal and replace Obamacare for eight, nine years, um, they still, during

that eight year period, didn't bother to come up with a replacement plan because none of

them are good at legislating.

So sure, Kevin, blame the tea party.

If that makes you feel better, if it helps us sleep a little better at night, but at

the end of the day, I hope that you do understand that the tea party and the Republican Party

for the last 10 years have been one in

the same.

kitchen is mostly in order

Hi! thanks for clicking on Simply Tanika I am Tanika if you are new here welcome

hit that subscribe button let's hang out a while if you are returning welcome

back what's up fertility fam we got to do

what let's get those babies ladies good

morning what the fertility pan it's actually not morning it is exactly 254

on a Saturday which I believe is the night but I'm just getting up and so I'm

gonna do my apple cider vinegar mix I'm making that now today is just gonna be

day of liquids I'm not gonna say it's a fast fast but I'm just gonna do liquids

I am gonna have my last day of coffee I'm making the coffee as we speak and

I'm not gonna do cream or sugar so that's gonna be the slow wean I'll

probably put I take that back I'll put some honey in there gonna have honey

here but at work I've been alternated between honey that is not organic and

just straight-up sugar packets so I'm gonna wean myself so that I don't make

myself any extra irritable in a few minutes I've to meet with one of my

fertility clients to go over her progress but I did want to get the vlog

going for the day and get myself going I slept like nobody's business I slept -

like - I think so here is the apple cider vinegar putting that in and

yeah so there's the lime in the episode of dinner there don't add water to that

the coffee it's coming along and I'm debating I might put the coffee in one

of the smoothies I might not like if I do a chocolate maybe a dual mocha but

the plan is to do smoothies today so I'm gonna alternate between the macro life

and my regular protein smoothie so that I get my nutrients and the reason why

I'm not doing just a straight-up water fast I don't think that I've been eating

well enough to do that I've had a lot of fried foods and a lot of just let's not

get into it a lot of feel-good foods so I want to do I want to make sure I get

all my nutrition and kind of get back on track and yeah that's where we're

starting we got to start somewhere so that is what's going on I'm gonna do my

way end for you guys I don't know if I'll show it in this vlog like I said

yesterday it might just be in next week so we have the week progress but we

gotta start somewhere and then once I'm done with my client we will start our

cleaning my client we reschedule for Monday so I got an extra hour back I

have done the dishes I'm excited about that all that stuff is put away I'm

gonna enjoy a cup of coffee I'm gonna do one cup of just a regular coffee and

then I'm gonna put some in my smoothie in talking to myself I've decided I'm

not gonna go cold turkey with no coffee which I think I said that before but the

intention is I'm gonna put McCall a doctor my coffee is to get down to one

cup of day and I remember I don't know if you guys watch red wine and blue mom

she was like don't go cold turkey but to cut back because she would have

withdrawals and obviously her doctors her doctor but I'm just saying there are

a lot of people in the fertility community who believe you can have

things in moderation that you don't have to completely cut it out so I would say

in and of itself I'm not sabotaging my chances of

conceiving or my overall fertility outlook by just having the coffee I just

have to cut down on what I was doing I can't

it you know crazy amounts all day even though right now it's like 425 probably

I'm not gonna go back to 11 so I'll do this one and then I'll do one of my

smoothie and then that will be it for the day and it probably won't be a full

cup so I'm gonna sit down and do this um look at some of the comments I respond

to you guys post or finish editing the video about my father which I should

have seen by now and then I'm gonna do the before shots or the day one shots in

the bedroom I think for the other channel I'm gonna do a deep clean in the

bathroom there are people doing work and they totally jacked my wall up I think

This Wine Subscription Club Has a 6 Wines for $40 Deal - Live News 247 - Duration: 7:35.

 It's time to finally put an end to all of that useless whining and instead do something that's more worthy of all of our time — like some actual wine-ing

 Sure, Wednesday nights will forever be reserved for our girlfriends. It's called Whine Wednesday for a reason because where else would be than sitting on our friends' couches whining over everything and anything? But let's be honest, why should we add to all of that misery by bringing a basic bottle of wine? Basic fashion may not be boring but basic wine is! So we're ramping up our vino game with this perfectly tailored wine delivery subscription!    When shopping for wine, sometimes our heads are spinning with all the endless possibilities out there

We're definitely no experts when it comes to discussing different wines, either. Instead, let's skip that and leave it to the experts

This way we all have time to do what we do best, which is to drink it.   is the custom wine delivery service catering to any and every wine enthusiast

First-time users will start off with a standardized test to determine their preferences when it comes to wine

 The standardized test asks the big questions so we don't have to later on. Prepare to answer things like how often do we drink and what type of wine do we prefer

The test also asks if we are more of a red or white type or if we sometimes like both

Or perhaps rose or sparkling is more of interest. It seems overwhelming, but we are in good hands

 Rest assured though, there is a method to all of this madness. Using the site's algorithm, then recommends the three best bottles to order based on the answers we provided

It's important to remember that this should be treated like any other subscription box

At first, it seems difficult to navigate but it's a one and done deal. Every box after will be easier than the last!  We can also select the frequency of the subscription depending on how much vino we need in our lives

It is totally up to them and how much is needed. We're sure, users will find their perfect balance

   The subscription box makes sure to tailor each and every month to the subscriber's specific needs

Perhaps one month it is all about finding that perfect red. Amazing! The next month, though, may be all about a crisp white or even the best summer wine

There are also options for rose, sparkling, U.S.-based or imported wines and so many more

 The options are endless but the customizable options come in handy. Our boxes can be mixed and matched to fit whatever our monthly or even weekly needs are

 Phew, amazing!  Lastly, we can't help but recommend taking advantage of the review system to help better our own experiences

A thumbs up lets know that we really loved that wine. Even better? They'll go above and beyond and try to recommend other unexpected options we wouldn't normally think of

Is there anything better? Well, actually, yes there is. also takes our thumbs down and uses those notes to improve not only our boxes but the vineyard's performance as well

By sharing our feedback about we liked and didn't, the specific wine companies can learn how to craft something better in the future

Wow, we love how interactive this company is!  Surely, it's no surprise how interactive they are though

spends most of the year traveling all over the world to find the right wine for every and any wine enthusiast

Past travels include Napa and Sonoma to Argentina and even Australia. It's crucial for the wine experts to experience each and every vineyard first-hand to know the best options for subscribers

Ted Cruz has a better chance of paying for the wall than drug lord El Chapo, attorney says Politic - Duration: 1:21.

Ted Cruz has a better chance of paying for the wall than drug lord El Chapo, attorney says Politic

Guzman was , including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. has proposed several times that El Chapo pay for a border wall, in The Washington Post last week.

In a response to the piece, El Chapos attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, said that is unlikely to happen.

"Sen. Cruz surely knows that the government has seized none not a penny of Mr. Guzmans assets so getting him to pay for the wall is ludicrous," Lichtman said Sunday. "Theres a better chance of Mr. Cruz paying for the wall."

He declined to comment on Guzmans assets.

Propertys believed worth as high as dollar 14 billion

The leader of the violent Sinaloa drug cartel faces a mandatory life sentence. Federal prosecutors also plan to seek a forfeiture judgment for the property Guzman gained from drug trafficking. The value of that property is believed to be as high as dollar 14 billion.

After Guzmans conviction Tuesday, Cruz renewed calls to use the money for border security.

"U.S. prosecutors are seeking dollar 14 billion in drug profits and other assets from El Chapo which should go towards funding our wall to SecureTheBorder," the Texas Republican wrote on Twitter. "Its time to pass my EL CHAPO Act. I urge my Senate colleagues to take swift action on this crucial legislation."

Cruz originally introduced the in April 2017. It would reserve any "illegally obtained profits resulting from any criminal drug trafficking enterprise led by Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera" for border security measures, which could include a wall. This includes any funds forfeited by Guzman in this case or future cases involving his former associates.

Cruz reintroduced the bill last month.

"By leveraging any criminally forfeited assets of El Chapo and other murderous drug lords, we can offset the cost of securing our border and make meaningful progress toward delivering on the promises made to the American people," Cruz said in a .

Sport TV - What Spurs' rescheduled match vs Palace means for the new stadium & a big break - Duration: 5:11.

 Crystal Palace's FA Cup victory at Doncaster Rovers has a knock-on effect for Tottenham Hotspur and potentially their new stadium

 The Eagles' 2-0 win in the fifth round clash on Sunday afternoon means that Spurs' home game against Roy Hodgson's men on March 17 will now have to be rescheduled as that is the weekend when the FA Cup quarter-finals will be played

 There is also the added factor that Tottenham were believed to be looking at that televised Palace fixture as a potential opening game for their new stadium if problems with the fire safety system were solved in time for test events to take place before then

 The postponement of that fixture now means that Tottenham's game against Arsenal at Wembley on March 2 will be Mauricio Pochettino's men's only home game in March

 In fact, due to the international break, Spurs' trip to Southampton on March 9 is currently now their last game, home and away, until more than three weeks later when travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on March 31

 Their next home encounter does not arrive until the following weekend, on April 6 against Brighton

However the fixture merry-go-round may not be finished just yet as Chris Hughton's Brighton side are also in the quarter-finals and should they get through to the semi-finals, that would be the weekend those games would be played at Wembley

 After that the next scheduled home match is Huddersfield on April 13, followed by West Ham on April 27 and then the final match of the season against Everton on May 12

Gallery: 14 photos from inside Tottenham's stunning new stadium taken by the workers View gallery  There are also potential further Champions League home matches if Spurs can get past Borussia Dortmund in the last 16, following that 3-0 first leg win at Wembley on Wednesday

 Obviously the more time Tottenham have to sort out the problems inside their new stadium the more chance they have to open it this season and the cup postponements could end up helping them in that regard

 A midweek evening stadium opener is not seen as ideal but with the costs involved in playing at Wembley growing rapidly with each game as is lost revenue at the new stadium it could be a case of needs must and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to get back home

 "To play in your own stadium is the best thing that can happen in your life. The moment the new stadium is ready, if it is my decision, my decision is to move quickly," he said in December

 "In the moment our new stadium will be ready to play, my opinion is to move quickly because when you start to play in your own stadium it is completely different

If it depends on me, I want to move as soon as possible."    His demeanour changed somewhat this month when asked again about the possibility of moving in

 "I don't want to think too much, my wish is to play at the new stadium before the end of the season, we'll see what happens

My gut says it will be tough but my wish is so big and my hope and always my dream is to finish playing this season at the new stadium," he said  "We'll see, you can trust more in my gut or my capacity to generate the possibility to move and finish the stadium

"  There are still at least five potential home games that could be played at the new stadium

Update | Why Joe Biden shouldnt run for president opinion - Duration: 2:51.

Update | Why Joe Biden shouldnt run for president opinion

Thus far, what has been most remarkable is how diverse the field is shaping up to be. This is not your traditional slate of Democratic candidates. Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Peter Buttigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, Elizabeth Warren, Andrew Yang and several others are already up and running. And more are likely to follow.

The composition of the Democratic field represents the diversity of the country. With so many serious frontrunners who are not, for a change, older white men, the Democrats are showing that they are a party representing the future of the country. In contrast to the kind of rhetoric that has come from President Donald Trump, an ode to the whiteness and masculinity of a limited American political tradition, the Democrats are making a strong statement about what their party is all about.

And their opening speeches reflect that reality as well. They have revolved around issues such as racial justice, gender equity, immigration rights and more. Even a candidate like Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who is being tagged as the "moderate" with bipartisan appeal, : "Stop the fear mongering and stop the hate. We may come from different places. We may pray in different ways. We may look different. And love different. But all live in the same country of shared dreams."

Then comes Biden. The former vice president has every right to run and certainly has a great deal to offer. During his career in the Senate and in the White House, Biden was a strong champion of the middle class. He pushed for the kinds of policies that Trump, despite all his promises to the forgotten Americans, never pursued. As vice president, he headed the , which championed policies such as capping student loan payments and improving retirement security. He of President Barack Obama on the issue of same sex marriage.

Also, as an older white male who would be 78 years old in January 2021 , there are a number of Democrats who see him as the "safe choice," the only person who will be able to withstand the Presidents testosterone filled campaign. And that right now most believe he would do best in a matchup against the President.

But is Biden really the best answer for the party? There is good reason for Democrats to be skeptical and to consider supporting other candidates.

Most problematic is the fact that Biden has run for the presidency several times, and each time he has struggled under the intense spotlight. When it comes time to hit the campaign trail, Biden has never been able to generate the level of support that is necessary to win. His tendency to has also hurt him. And, in our frenzied news cycle with endless outlets and few filters on information, Bidens style will cause problems again.

Of course, these issues didnt stop Trump in 2016. But unlike Trump, it is unclear that without a comparable partisan media outlet Fox News and unyielding partisan loyalty, that Biden would survive. While MSNBC could offer a boost to Biden, social scientists that the conservative media has a much stronger hold on conservative viewers than liberal outlets. Conservatives also tend to be more ideologically homogenous and loyal than their counterparts on the left. In other words, Democrats have seen the challenges that the "inevitable" frontrunner faces, as the election actually takes shape.

More important, though, is the moment in which we are living. Trump has run a political operation from the White House that has revolved around a vision of white nationalism that challenges the values of pluralism, diversity and inclusion. His statement after Charlottesville forever marked his term in office. And the Presidents perpetual struggle to build a wall perfectly captures what he hopes to achieve with his central goal being about keeping people out rather than bringing them in.

With so many strong candidates already lined up to run in the Democratic primaries, many of whom who have launched their runs with the kind of gravitas and excitement that bodes well for a presidential campaign, there is a risk of someone like Biden being in the race someone with the potential to suck up all the oxygen in the room. "Uncle Joe" could quickly take away media attention and campaign funds from Democrats who would perform better in the general election. If Biden was the nominee, he would also throw cold water on the excitement and energy that exists among younger Democrats about the direction of their party.

The Democrats should not assume that an older, moderate white man is inevitably the strongest candidate. Even Bernie Sanders offers a fresh perspective with his left of center, Democratic Socialist positions he would also be notable as a Jewish American nominee . It is possible to see the virtue of a ticket that embodies diversity from the top down. All of the candidates who are currently running would enable the Democrats to showcase the difference in what the party represents compared to the GOP. As a in The New York Times shows, the GOP is bleeding young voters with each passing day of the Trump presidency.

With Biden at the top of the ticket, it would be much more difficult to generate enthusiasm among African Americans, Latinos or younger voters, for instance, who will be looking to Democrats to prove that they will offer something fundamentally different. While there are substantial numbers of African Americans backing Biden and Sanders, these dont measure the excitement that might be generated on the campaign trail once the other candidates are better known and once their political skills have been proven.

And Bidens pivotal role on the 1994 Violent Crime Control Act, which was foundational to the expansion of the mass incarceration system, will come back to haunt him. Like Hillary Clinton, he will have to reckon with his vote authorizing President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq, baggage that the younger generation of Democrats wont be carrying onto the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, many educated, suburban women are looking for a candidate who will take seriously the message of the metoo movement. This is a social movement that has rocked American society, bringing attention to the horrendous ways in which sexism and sexual assault continue to play out in many of our major industries and in our private lives. They wont be happy to hear about his role in the 1991 Clarence Thomas hearings, where he was one of the many senators who did not take seriously the sexual harassment complaints of Anita Hill. He was part of the reason that 1992 saw a surge in female candidates.

The most successful Democrat in recent decades was Barack Obama, who mobilized a powerful electoral coalition because of the change he represented for the Democratic Party not because he was the partys safe choice.

Of course, Biden has a right to run should he so choose. But before Democrats go overboard in shifting their financial and organizational resources, as well as endorsements, to the former vice president, they should think long and hard about whether they want the face of their party to be someone who represents the past or the future.

In contrast to the kind of rhetoric that has come from President Donald Trump, an ode to the whiteness and masculinity of a limited American political tradition, the Democrats are making a strong statement about what their party is all about.

And their opening speeches reflect that reality as well. They have revolved around issues such as racial justice, gender equity, immigration rights and more. Even a candidate like Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who is being tagged as the "moderate" with bipartisan appeal, : "Stop the fear mongering and stop the hate. We may come from different places. We may pray in different ways. We may look different. And love different. But all live in the same country of shared dreams."

Then comes Biden. The former vice president has every right to run and certainly has a great deal to offer. During his career in the Senate and in the White House, Biden was a strong champion of the middle class. He pushed for the kinds of policies that Trump, despite all his promises to the forgotten Americans, never pursued. As vice president, he headed the , which championed policies such as capping student loan payments and improving retirement security. He of President Barack Obama on the issue of same sex marriage.

Also, as an older white male who would be 78 years old in January 2021 , there are a number of Democrats who see him as the "safe choice," the only person who will be able to withstand the Presidents testosterone filled campaign. And that right now most believe he would do best in a matchup against the President.

But is Biden really the best answer for the party? There is good reason for Democrats to be skeptical and to consider supporting other candidates.

Most problematic is the fact that Biden has run for the presidency several times, and each time he has struggled under the intense spotlight. When it comes time to hit the campaign trail, Biden has never been able to generate the level of support that is necessary to win. His tendency to has also hurt him. And, in our frenzied news cycle with endless outlets and few filters on information, Bidens style will cause problems again.

Of course, these issues didnt stop Trump in 2016. But unlike Trump, it is unclear that without a comparable partisan media outlet Fox News and unyielding partisan loyalty, that Biden would survive. While MSNBC could offer a boost to Biden, social scientists that the conservative media has a much stronger hold on conservative viewers than liberal outlets. Conservatives also tend to be more ideologically homogenous and loyal than their counterparts on the left. In other words, Democrats have seen the challenges that the "inevitable" frontrunner faces, as the election actually takes shape.

More important, though, is the moment in which we are living. Trump has run a political operation from the White House that has revolved around a vision of white nationalism that challenges the values of pluralism, diversity and inclusion. His statement after Charlottesville forever marked his term in office. And the Presidents perpetual struggle to build a wall perfectly captures what he hopes to achieve with his central goal being about keeping people out rather than bringing them in.

With so many strong candidates already lined up to run in the Democratic primaries, many of whom who have launched their runs with the kind of gravitas and excitement that bodes well for a presidential campaign, there is a risk of someone like Biden being in the race someone with the potential to suck up all the oxygen in the room. "Uncle Joe" could quickly take away media attention and campaign funds from Democrats who would perform better in the general election. If Biden was the nominee, he would also throw cold water on the excitement and energy that exists among younger Democrats about the direction of their party.

The Democrats should not assume that an older, moderate white man is inevitably the strongest candidate. Even Bernie Sanders offers a fresh perspective with his left of center, Democratic Socialist positions he would also be notable as a Jewish American nominee . It is possible to see the virtue of a ticket that embodies diversity from the top down. All of the candidates who are currently running would enable the Democrats to showcase the difference in what the party represents compared to the GOP. As a in The New York Times shows, the GOP is bleeding young voters with each passing day of the Trump presidency.

With Biden at the top of the ticket, it would be much more difficult to generate enthusiasm among African Americans, Latinos or younger voters, for instance, who will be looking to Democrats to prove that they will offer something fundamentally different. While there are substantial numbers of African Americans backing Biden and Sanders, these dont measure the excitement that might be generated on the campaign trail once the other candidates are better known and once their political skills have been proven.

And Bidens pivotal role on the 1994 Violent Crime Control Act, which was foundational to the expansion of the mass incarceration system, will come back to haunt him. Like Hillary Clinton, he will have to reckon with his vote authorizing President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq, baggage that the younger generation of Democrats wont be carrying onto the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, many educated, suburban women are looking for a candidate who will take seriously the message of the metoo movement. This is a social movement that has rocked American society, bringing attention to the horrendous ways in which sexism and sexual assault continue to play out in many of our major industries and in our private lives. They wont be happy to hear about his role in the 1991 Clarence Thomas hearings, where he was one of the many senators who did not take seriously the sexual harassment complaints of Anita Hill. He was part of the reason that 1992 saw a surge in female candidates.

The most successful Democrat in recent decades was Barack Obama, who mobilized a powerful electoral coalition because of the change he represented for the Democratic Party not because he was the partys safe choice.

Of course, Biden has a right to run should he so choose. But before Democrats go overboard in shifting their financial and organizational resources, as well as endorsements, to the former vice president, they should think long and hard about whether they want the face of their party to be someone who represents the past or the future.

Ancient Egyptian COFFIN stolen before being flogged to New York museum for dollar 4 million World - Duration: 1:31.

Ancient Egyptian COFFIN stolen before being flogged to New York museum for dollar 4 million World

The prestigious museum had purchased the gilded coffin of Nedjemankh, which dates back to the first century BC, in July 2017 from an art dealer in Paris. But the Manhattan district attorneys office contacted the museum after it was revealed it has been sold with fake documentation that also included a forged 1971 Egyptian export license. It remains unclear what triggered the district attorneys investigation into the coffin, but in a statement art historian Daniel Weiss made a swift apology to the people of Egypt and Antiquities Minister Khaled El Enany. He said: "After we learned that the Museum was a victim of fraud and unwittingly participated in the illegal trade of antiquities, we worked with the DAs office for its return to Egypt."

The museum also said it would "consider all available remedies to recoup the purchase price of the coffin" and commit "to identifying how justice can be served, and how we can help to deter future offences against cultural property".

As a result of the scam, the museum vowed to "review and revise its acquisitions process".

The coffin, stunningly crafted and designed like an ancient Egyptian mummy, has been viewed by nearly half a million visitors since being made the centrepiece of a major exhibition in July.

It is sheathed in gold, which the ancient Egyptians associate with the Gods.

The piece was removed from the public viewing space this week and it will be delivered to the district attorneys office and eventually back to Egypt.

Nedjemankh was a a high ranking priest of the ram headed god Heryshaf of Herakleopolis, who was identified with Ra and Osiris in ancient Egyptian religion, as well as Dionysus or Heracles in ancient Greek mythology. Heryshaf was a creator and fertility god who was born from the primordial waters. He was pictured as a man with the head of a ram, or as a ram.

RAM BAN Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos set for two-match ban after bragging about Champions League - Duration: 4:01.

REAL MADRID skipper Sergio Ramos looks to have talked himself into a two-match ban after boasting about his Champions League yellow card at Ajax

 Uefa have now confirmed they have opened an investigation into Ramos' actions and admissions

 And that could lead to him being banned for both the last 16 second leg and any potential quarter-final first leg tie

 The Bernabeu defender and Spain veteran picked up a needless card in the 88th minute of Real's 2-1 win in the Johan Cruyff Arena for a foul on Danish striker Kasper Dolberg

 It means Ramos will miss the second leg but asked about the incident post-match he said: "Not to underestimate the opponent, but sometimes you have to take these decisions and that's what I decided

I would be lying if I said I didn't force [the booking]."  Ramos tried to backtrack on social media, insisting: "I have not forced the card

In a game there are many tensions, many sensations and many pulsations.  "You have to make decisions in seconds

The best thing was the result. The worst, not being able to be with my team-mates for a game

"  But Ramos' initial comments were noted by Uefa. 'COWARDLY ATTACK' Napoli fans clash with FC Zurich supporters outside stadium ahead of Europa League tie  In a statement, Europe's governing body said: "A disciplinary investigation has been initiated based on Article 31(3) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations in connection with the statements made by Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos

 "Information in respect of this investigation will be made available in due course

"  Uefa regulations confirm a two-match ban  is the punishment when players are ruled to have manipulated the disciplinary system to serve suspensions in "dead" games

 Ramos has been here before, when he and former Real team-mate Xabi Alonso were booked late in a win in Ajax during the fifth group game, with Madrid already through to the knock-out phase

 Both players were fined but Uefa has since tightened up its regulations and Ramos could be set to rue his comments

Sergio Ramos trolled for 'sliding back to Madrid' after Semedo's insane skill for Barcelona during El Clasico

Why Joe Biden shouldnt run for president opinion

Thus far, what has been most remarkable is how diverse the field is shaping up to be. This is not your traditional slate of Democratic candidates.

With Biden at the top of the ticket, it would be much more difficult to generate enthusiasm among African Americans, Latinos or younger voters, for instance, who will be looking to Democrats to prove that they will offer something fundamentally different. While there are substantial numbers of African Americans backing Biden and Sanders, these dont measure the excitement that might be generated on the campaign trail once the other candidates are better known and once their political skills have been proven.

And Bidens pivotal role on the 1994 Violent Crime Control Act, which was foundational to the expansion of the mass incarceration system, will come back to haunt him. Like Hillary Clinton, he will have to reckon with his vote authorizing President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq, baggage that the younger generation of Democrats wont be carrying onto the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, many educated, suburban women are looking for a candidate who will take seriously the message of the metoo movement. This is a social movement that has rocked American society, bringing attention to the horrendous ways in which sexism and sexual assault continue to play out in many of our major industries and in our private lives. They wont be happy to hear about his role in the 1991 Clarence Thomas hearings, where he was one of the many senators who did not take seriously the sexual harassment complaints of Anita Hill. He was part of the reason that 1992 saw a surge in female candidates.

The most successful Democrat in recent decades was Barack Obama, who mobilized a powerful electoral coalition because of the change he represented for the Democratic Party not because he was the partys safe choice.

Of course, Biden has a right to run should he so choose. But before Democrats go overboard in shifting their financial and organizational resources, as well as endorsements, to the former vice president, they should think long and hard about whether they want the face of their party to be someone who represents the past or the future.

Diamond and Silk Call for Rubio's Resignation After His Latest Trump Agenda Betrayal - Duration: 2:56.

Senator Marco Rubio will not support President Trump's national emergency, so Diamond and

Silk are calling for him to resign.

The Sun Sentinel reported that Florida's Republican U.S. senators disagree about President

Donald Trump's move to declare a "national emergency" to build part of a wall on the

U.S. border with Mexico.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said he fears the precedent such a presidential action would set.

And, he said, it appears to violate the Constitution, which clearly gives Congress the authority

to appropriate money.

"We have a crisis at our southern border, but no crisis justifies violating the Constitution,"

Rubio said.

"Today's national emergency is border security.

But a future president may use this exact same tactic to impose the Green New Deal."

Rubio, in a statement issued before Trump's planned declaration, said it's possible

he might end up supporting the move, but said it's unlikely.

"I will wait to see what statutory or constitutional power the president relies on to justify such

a declaration before making any definitive statement.

But I am skeptical it will be something I can support."

Fox Nation hosts Diamond and Silk said Friday that Republican Sen. Marco Rubio should resign

because he opposes President Trump's national emergency declaration on the border.

The duo, whose real names are Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, told Fox News ahead

of Friday's announcement that Trump was elected to use taxpayers' dollars for what

they want, including the wall.

"I don't care what Marco Rubio say or whatever his name is, I don't care what

he thinks.

Here's what we think as the American people: When you use our tax dollars, use our tax

dollars for what we want.

We want a wall!"

Diamond said, and her sister agreed.

"Now if Marco Rubio don't like that, maybe he should just step down for Congress, too,"

she added.

Although Rubio agreed that there was a crisis at the southern border, he said Thursday that

he doesn't believe that means Trump should take executive action to circumvent Congress

in order to get the southern border wall built.

He also said this action could set a dangerous precedent for future presidents.

"We have a crisis at our southern border, but no crisis justifies violating the Constitution,"

Rubio said Thursday.

"Today's national emergency is border security.

But a future president may use this exact same tactic to impose the 'Green New Deal.'"

On Friday, Trump held a Rose Garden address where he announced that he was in the process

of signing the necessary paperwork to declare a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.

This comes more than a month after he addressed the nation from the Oval Office amid the partial

government shutdown and said there was a humanitarian crisis at the border when it came to drugs,

human trafficking, and crime.

Ted Cruz has a better chance of paying for the wall than drug lord El Chapo, attorney says Politic - Duration: 1:19.

Ted Cruz has a better chance of paying for the wall than drug lord El Chapo, attorney says Politic

Guzman was , including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. has proposed several times that El Chapo pay for a border wall, in The Washington Post last week.

In a response to the piece, El Chapos attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, said that is unlikely to happen.

"Sen. Cruz surely knows that the government has seized none not a penny of Mr. Guzmans assets so getting him to pay for the wall is ludicrous," Lichtman said Sunday. "Theres a better chance of Mr. Cruz paying for the wall."

He declined to comment on Guzmans assets.

Propertys believed worth as high as dollar 14 billion

The leader of the violent Sinaloa drug cartel faces a mandatory life sentence. Federal prosecutors also plan to seek a forfeiture judgment for the property Guzman gained from drug trafficking. The value of that property is believed to be as high as dollar 14 billion.

After Guzmans conviction Tuesday, Cruz renewed calls to use the money for border security.

"U.S. prosecutors are seeking dollar 14 billion in drug profits and other assets from El Chapo which should go towards funding our wall to SecureTheBorder," the Texas Republican wrote on Twitter. "Its time to pass my EL CHAPO Act. I urge my Senate colleagues to take swift action on this crucial legislation."

Cruz originally introduced the in April 2017. It would reserve any "illegally obtained profits resulting from any criminal drug trafficking enterprise led by Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera" for border security measures, which could include a wall. This includes any funds forfeited by Guzman in this case or future cases involving his former associates.

Cruz reintroduced the bill last month.

"By leveraging any criminally forfeited assets of El Chapo and other murderous drug lords, we can offset the cost of securing our border and make meaningful progress toward delivering on the promises made to the American people," Cruz said in a .
