It's past time for Trump to grow a pair, forget nice and go after Hillary Clinton, hammer and tong.
"This country doesn't punish its political enemies." Jeff Sessions, at his confirmation hearing.
That was then. This is now. There will be no peace for Trump until he strikes back and draws blood. Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice will make a great start.
NOTE:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) says he’s still overseeing an investigation into allegations that former national security adviser Susan Rice pushed for certain U.S. citizens to be identified in intelligence reports.
Nunes told Fox News on Friday that he remains "very concerned" about accusations that Rice asked for the identities of certain U.S. citizens incidentally surveilled by intelligence agencies to be "unmasked" in reports delivered to her.
Nunes defended his role in the investigation into Rice's actions as separate from his recusal on the House's investigation into Russia's meddling in the U.S. presidential election.
“I’m still read into everything,” Nunes said. “What I’ve done, because I thought it was appropriate, as long as there’s going to be these bogus charges against me, until that got cleared up, I was just going to set the Russia investigation aside.”
“But everything else, I’m still in charge of,” Nunes continued, “especially the unmasking.”
Rice came under scrutiny from Republicans after reports that she asked for the normally-hidden identities of U.S. citizens alleged to be connected to President Trump's campaign be unmasked.
Rice maintained that she did not act inappropriately, saying the unmasking requests were “not uncommon” and “absolutely not for any political purpose, to spy, expose, anything."
Nunes said Friday that the committee’s investigation into the unmasking is “just beginning.”
“I remain very concerned about it,” Nunes said. “We’re going to have to have some major changes to federal law as it relates to how intelligence is collected and who can unmask that intelligence.”
Nunes recused himself from the committee’s investigation into Russian meddling in the election last month amid a House ethics probe into whether he divulged classified information. Earlier this week, questions were raised about Nunes' apparent ongoing role in the investigation.

ReplyDeleteWOW: Here’s How Trump’s Ex Found Out He Was Divorcing Her
ReplyDeleteAP PhotoAP Photo
BY: AMANDA PRESTIGIACOMO MAY 9, 2016
Apparently Donald Trump informed his second wife Marla Maples that he was divorcing her by first telling the New York Post. Once the paper was printed, Trump “put the newspaper down in front of her door that said, ‘Donald Is Divorcing Marla,’” confessed Trump biographer Robert Slater.
Back in 2005, Slater, who penned “No Such Thing as Over-Exposure: Inside the Life and Celebrity of Donald Trump,” said that the Manhattan socialite told him that he “informed his second wife that he was going to divorce her by announcing it first to the New York Post,” reports Buzzfeed, but then had Slater remove the nasty anecdote from the book before it was published. Trump also had Slater change the photo picked for the cover of the book, since the one chosen apparently made Trump “look fat.”
“Greatest anecdote anybody has ever told me,” said the writer, while giving a lecture at the Library of Congress. “He put the newspaper down in front of her door that said, ‘Donald Is Divorcing Marla.’ That’s how she learned about the divorce."....

This is the same Saudi Arabia that Trump bluntly accused of masterminding 9/11, of loving to kill gays and enslaving women, the same country that Trump said, after his election, should be banned from exporting any oil to the United States. But this was a few days before the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman began to court Trump, four months before his meeting in the White House was described as a turning point in relations between the two countries, seven months before Trump was received by the Saudi royal family with pomp, parades, horses and dancing princes.
It’s tempting to say that Trump was welcomed as if he was Lawrence of Arabia, were it not for the fact that Lawrence disliked King Saud and said his rule would introduce extremist Wahhabist Islam to the Arabian peninsula. This is the same Islam that Trump said hates America, and therefore requires a travel ban to protect it.

Bob beams because Melania didn't wear a headscarf. Two years ago, when Michelle didn't wear a headscarf on an official visit to SA, Trump called it an insult to the Saudis.
Deuce demands an investigation. Hillary gets blasted for accepting $25 millions from the Saudis in the name of her foundation. On the other hand, Ivanka got the Saudis/UAE to pledge $100 million to the foundation she fronts and we hear nothing.
The Trumpettes praise the Trump/Saudi $110 billion arms deal. These are the same arms currently being used to devastate Yemen. One has to wonder if as part of the deal the US will begin to ship Saudis the cluster bombs (in simple terms smaller and more technically advanced barrel bombs) they were shipping before things got too hot in the press.
These things are to be expected. These are politicians we are talking about. The hypocrisy is mother's milk to these guys. There is no way any of them will or even can stand up to the MIC. In short they are all dicks. If Hillary had been elected we would be talking about the same type things. It's all peripheral shit that's unlikely to disappear in the future.
The real shit Trump brings to the table is the dishonesty that won him the White House. The only promises he has come through on are his attempts at instituting the Muslim ban and building the wall. That is enough for the hard core Trumpettes; but his actions and proposed actions go back on all the other important promises he made to the people in flyover country, the people who put him over the top in the election.

Right now, the other Trumpettes in fly-over country, those he promised to help, to address their concerns, to make their lives better continue to chant, 'Thank you sir, may I have another.' It remains to be seen whether they will continue to support him when they see he endangers what little healthcare and security they still have, when they see the effects of his orders affecting health and safety, when they see the progress that has been made on things like the health and safety and the environment reversed, when they see instead of Trump's promise to 'drain the swamp', control the banks, Wall Street and the 'Establishment' all of them rewarded by Trump's unilateral actions on regulations and his promised actions as outlined in the budget proposal.
Trump campaigned as an outsider. Since he took office he proved he has always been part of the establishment.
My animus towards Trump is based in part on his grating personality to be sure. The man is a flaming *-**** but that is a minor factor. The big thing is what he is now promising to do to this country.
I wouldn't expect you to change your views. You like the nativism and bigotry he spouts and there's always the chance you'll get a tax break. It's what we've come to expect from the faux farmer.

Venezuelan tyrant tells Trump to, “get your pig hands out of here”
ReplyDeletePOSTED AT 2:01 PM ON MAY 21, 2017 BY JAZZ SHAW
Come now, sir. There’s no need to resort to rudeness.
When we heard the announcement about sanctions against Venezuelan supreme court judges this week I wasn’t overly impressed. Considering how badly any semblance of democratic principles have been thrown under the bus in that socialist paradise and the way that the hand picked supreme court does the bidding of their despot, Nicolas Maduro, a few sanctions seemed like rather weak tea. But Maduro himself didn’t take it that way. While he’s largely held his tongue about Donald Trump until now, this was apparently a bridge too far and Maduro got down and dirty, hurling insults at the American president. (CBS News)
Venezuela’s president delivered his most scathing critique of President Trump on Friday, telling him to stop intervening and “get your pig hands out of here.”
Speaking before a crowd of supporters, President Nicolas Maduro accused Mr. Trump of promoting an interventionist policy that infringes on his socialist government’s sovereignty.
“Go home, Donald Trump!” he said in heavily accented English.
I suppose he might have let it slide were the sanctions not coming on top of Trump’s remarks on Thursday, when he called the current conditions in Venezuela “a disgrace to humanity.” Too late now, I guess. The heat has been turned up and the pot is beginning to boil.
To steal a line from the Lord of the Rings series, Maduro’s list of allies grows thin. Yes, there are some other strong men around the globe who have some nice things to say about him from time to time, ranging from the leaders of North Korea and Turkey to Russia. But none of them seem interested in actually bailing Venezuela out at the moment beyond the normal foreign aid that they’re already providing. And sending in troops to back up Maduro’s armed militia thugs in repressing his own people would be some pretty awful optics, even for the ones who could afford it.
Maduro’s lack of self restraint is a fairly typical hallmark of socialist tyrants, but it’s coming at a price to him. Of all the nations on the planet, the one most likely to offer some help were he willing to schedule new elections and stop repressing the power of the elected legislative branch would probably be the United States. Heck, if he could even manage to stop attacking his own people long enough to halt the violence and let in some additional workers we could probably be sending in some food at a minimum so his citizens don’t have to keep hunting cats. But if he’s going to take this attitude he may just be left to sink or swim on his own. That’s getting to the point of being a dangerous proposition when you consider what happened to Mussolini in the end.
Exit question: Could “pig hands” be the new “small hands” when it comes to Trump bashing? I’d be interested to see if any of the President’s detractors were willing to stoop low enough as to go around quoting this maniacal tyrant.

Montana Special Election Update -
ReplyDeleteGOP Gets Jitters About Montana Race
Even though national Democrats have barely invested in next Thursday’s red-state House election, it’s a lot closer than anyone expected.

Josh Kraushaar
@HOTLINEJOSH
A whopping $30 million has already poured into next month’s special election in suburban Atlanta, which both parties view as a bellwether to the 2018 midterms. But next Thursday’s quieter congressional contest in Montana may provide a better insight into the country’s political mood, and it’s shaping up to be more competitive than either party expected. Republicans hold a narrow advantage, but are concerned that this week’s worsening Trump scandals—and the growing unpopularity of the GOP’s health care legislation—come at the worst possible time.
The race pits two lackluster candidates in a political environment tailor-made for a Democratic shocker. Republican businessman Greg Gianforte, who lost the governor race last year, made his wealth in New Jersey and lacks deep roots in his adopted state. Democratic musician Rob Quist is a true-blue progressive with loads of personal baggage, and is being slammed over tax and financial problems. Republicans have held a significant financial advantage for the entire race, with 71 percent of the advertising money in the race spent on Gianforte’s behalf. But Quist received a late infusion of small donations, swelling his war chest to $5 million.
The latest GOP polling shows Gianforte with a narrow lead. And for the first time, the president’s approval numbers have dropped underwater in this Trump-friendly state. A Republican poll conducted May 14-16 found just 46 percent of Montana voters viewing President Trump favorably, while 47 percent viewed him unfavorably. This, in a state where Trump won 56 percent of the vote, one of his strongest performances in the country.
Democrats have been wary about raising expectations too high, knowing their nominee is seriously flawed and recognizing the difficult demographics in this solidly Republican state. But unlike in the Georgia contest, which is being contested in a much more affluent district, Democrats have been aggressively targeting Gianforte over health care. The latest ad from the Democrats’ top House super PAC portrays Gianforte as a wealthy, uncaring carpetbagger. “Greg Gianforte: our pain is his gain,” the ad concludes. It’s no coincidence that Gianforte has hedged on whether he would have voted for the unpopular House health care legislation.
DeleteQuist is an even worse candidate. His populist charm is an asset in a state willing to elect working-class Democrats, but that’s about all he has going for him. He has a decade-long record of financial troubles, with a history of tax liens and stiffing contractors. He’s talked about his life-saving gallbladder surgery as indicative of the importance of affordable health care, but that opened up scandalous questions about his health history. (It’s never good when “preexisting genital herpes” is brought up by political opposition.) One of his former band members once sued him for fraud.
Make no mistake: If Democrats win in Montana next Thursday, it would send shockwaves into an already-frazzled Republican Party. Montana is racially homogenous, culturally conservative, and filled with working-class voters who drifted away from the party last year. Washington Democrats barely invested in the race because Montana isn’t the type of place to make a stand. There are 110 other House Republicans representing districts less Republican than this one, according to the Cook Report Partisan Voting Index.
The Republicans’ slim lead is mainly due to early, well-funded efforts by the Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC and the National Republican Congressional Committee. But if a not-ready-for-prime-time Democratic player can prevail in Montana, it’s a glaring warning that Trump’s problems threaten to weigh Republicans down almost everywhere in the country.

Victor Davis Hanson: Whole Trump-Russia-Collusion Story Is A "Big Lie"
ReplyDeletePosted By Tim Hains
On Date May 20, 2017
Citing a term coined by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf, Hoover Institution scholar Victor Davis Hanson explains that the allegations that President Trump worked with the Russians in any way are a "big lie" created by the Democrats with no evidence.
TUCKER CARLSON: Professor, you're saying that this whole thing is basically nonsense, is that what you're saying?
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Yeah. I think you have to go to the origins, causes, methodologies, and objectives. So, this thing started during the nomination process when a group of 'Never Trump' people commissioned a dossier from a retired British agent -- the so-called Fusion/Christopher Steele dossier, that was pretty much ridiculous.
It was passed on, after Trump got the nomination, to the Clinton campaign.
And pretty much forgotten about. And then suddenly, when she did what no one thought she would do, and lost, Robby Mook's analytics and data didn't prove to be successful, and she didn't go to the blue wall states, then all of a sudden a new narrative came. The Russians must have done it by the Wikileak trove process, and then this dossier somehow got in the hands of the FBI director, whether he paid for it of not, I think Sen. Grassley is investigazting that, and now we have this idea that Trump colluded, and this dossier was leaked to media sources, and it was pretty obscene, pretty outrageous, had things in it that could not have been true, and where are we now?
We've had the director of national intelligence James Clapper say it didn't exist, Senators Dianne Feinsein and Chuck Grassley say this, FBI director Comey said there was not an ongoing investigation.
And then it was very unlikely, because Donald Trump, he didn't dismantle Eastern European missile defense, he didn't go to Geneva and press a plastic red button, he didn't make fun of Romney for saying Russia was an existential enemy, he didn't have a hot mic exchange with the Russian president saying he would be 'more flexible' after the election.
The entire 'Reset' appeasement of Russia came from the Clinton-Obama team, not Donald Trump. And now we're here.
And it is very unlikely generally, because he actually ran as a Jacksonian, who was going to beef up U.S. defenses, and get tough with our enemies, our adversaries, our rivals abroad, so it wouldnt be necessarily logical for Putin to want him to be president, yet here we are.
And I think the real message we're missing is, that there was evidence that some people in the Obama administration had surveilled people either Trump himself, or around Trump, and that that information had either been reverse targeted diliberately... or incidentally, it didn't matter because the neames were unmasked and leaked to reporters.
So for the last six months, between this dossier, and this surveillance, we've had these illegal leaks, so if special investigator Mueller looks at the totality of this so-called "Russian collusion-surveillance" story, I think he will come to conclusions we don't expect.

ReplyDeleteMr. Rubio and other Republicans hewed to a line repeated often on Capitol Hill last week: that they need more information about Mr. Comey’s termination, particularly in light of a report by The New York Times that Mr. Trump told Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting that Mr. Comey was a “nut job” and that his firing had “taken off” the pressure on the president.
Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he hoped the report was not true, adding that Mr. Trump should have instead expressed any frustration over Russian meddling to that country’s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov.
“You would like, I would think, the president to kind of beat him over the head with the fact that, if they actually did interfere in any way, shape or form, how wrong that is and how outraged America is on both sides of the aisle,” Mr. Chaffetz said on ABC’s “This Week.”
While calling such disclosures to reporters “disgraceful,” Senator John McCain of Arizona said he was at a loss for how to explain Mr. Trump’s remarks.
“I don’t know how to read it, except that I’m almost speechless because I don’t know why someone would say something like that,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”

ReplyDeleteGOP leaders not only worry out loud about not being able to get much done in Congress, but maybe even losing Congress in 2018. There are a couple of dozen or more congressional districts that are deemed in play for the Democrats. Tens of thousands in the swing districts bought Trump’s fight for the forgotten working class and middle class guy, and clean the Beltway swamp pitch, and loathing of Obama. They stampeded to the polls in 2016 to back him. There’s no Obama in 2018. The swamp is just as polluted, and all those jobs supposedly flooding back from overseas to the Rust belt are nowhere in sight. That, and a badly tainted Trump, doesn’t exactly make for a lot of happy campers ready to dash to the polls to back GOP candidates and incumbents battling for their political lives in those contested districts.
The Comey tit-for-tat is not even close to the massive government near meltdown of Watergate. And Trump may not have blatantly broken the law as Nixon did. However, the lesson from Watergate is that a damaged goods President is the ultimate liability for his party, especially a party that made a lot of promises and raised a lot of expectations that it would deliver the goods in totally wiping clean the Obama year initiatives. This is the real GOP Trump nightmare.

ReplyDeleteMORE ON TRUMP IN RIYADH
I agree with everything Scott wrote here about President Trump’s magnificent speech in Riyadh. Having reviewed the transcript, I want to offer a few more observations.
* Trump’s tone was a refreshing change of pace from the Obama administration. Trump issued no apologies, and he didn’t bow to Islam rhetorically any more than he did in person to Saudi Arabia’s king.
* Trump referred obliquely to the tension in American foreign policy between what are conventionally called Realist and Idealist schools. He said his foreign policy will be one of “Principled Realism, rooted in common values and shared interests.” That is probably as good a formula as any, but it doesn’t mean much. Formulas are easy, decisions can be hard.
* Most notable was the uncompromising priority that Trump gave to terrorism as “the great question of our time.” Here is some of what he had to say about Islamic terrorism:
We now face a humanitarian and security disaster in this region that is spreading across the planet. It is a tragedy of epic proportions. No description of the suffering and depravity can begin to capture its full measure.
***
Terrorists do not worship God, they worship death.
***
This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations.
This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it.
This is a battle between Good and Evil.
***
Religious leaders must make this absolutely clear: Barbarism will deliver you no glory — piety to evil will bring you no dignity. If you choose the path of terror, your life will be empty, your life will be brief, and YOUR SOUL WILL BE CONDEMNED.
There was more in this vein. Trump, to my knowledge, has not been known for religiosity, yet this speech was suffused with it. I assume it is sincere: being President, like being in a foxhole, seems to make men more religious. Maybe especially so if you are a president who feels like he is in a foxhole.
* It was nice to see that Trump was unequivocal in including Hezbollah and Hamas in his denunciation of terrorist groups. Did Obama do this? I am not sure:

Because they are, Mark.

you big liar baby raised by villagers said so yourself no help from you liar
DeleteJazz has already looked at President Donald Trump’s Saudi Arabia speech but there really were parts of it which were really good. Trump attempted to toe a line between non-interventionism and “Team America: World Police,” while also encouraging Muslim clerics and countries to be more active in stopping Islamic terrorism.

That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires. And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians.
Religious leaders must make this absolutely clear: Barbarism will deliver you no glory – piety to evil will bring you no dignity. If you choose the path of terror, your life will be empty, your life will be brief, and YOUR SOUL WILL BE CONDEMNED.

Trump didn’t necessarily lie when describing Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Vision, but to suggest it would encourage more tolerance and the empowering of women is a little dishonest. Reuters noted last year King Salman and Prince Mohammed have been a little vague in how they’ll give women more rights.
It is not yet clear whether Vision 2030 will include politically sensitive social reforms – for example, in education, the judiciary and women’s rights – to reduce the influence of a conservative religious establishment.
Prince Mohammed told Bloomberg last week that “we believe women have rights in Islam that they’ve yet to obtain”. But while increasing women’s participation in the economy is a declared goal of the reforms, he and other officials have so far not promised radical, specific change.
Pretty Good

Nov 3, 2016 - Saudi Arabia's most influential advisory council - one that has great sway over the king - has refused to even consider allowing women to drive.

DeleteSaudi government funded extremism in U.S. mosques and charities: report
Saudi Arabia was funding Muslim radicalism in mosques and charities at the time the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers were gathering in the United States and making contacts with Saudi nationals, according to a declassified intelligence document.
To jihad watchers, the paper confirms their charges that the Saudi government and its wealthy citizens fund extremist teachings in America. To this day, the kingdom is pressing its harsh Wahhabi Sunni Islam on American Muslims as it seeks to spread Islam around the world, they say.
...
The disclosure was tucked in the “28 pages” — a long-secret chapter in a 2002 report by the House and Senate intelligence committees after an investigation in the immediate aftermath of the al Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon. Of the 19 who hijacked four airliners, 15 were Saudis.
The report section, referred to as “Part 4,” deals mainly with one topic: suspected Saudi government support for the Sept. 11 plot. The George W. Bush administration insisted that the section remain classified. Under pressure, the Obama administration released the pages last week.

Old news, but not Fake News.
Donald Trump knows that the Saudi were complicit in the 11SEP2001 attack on the US, he just doesn't care.
In adopting the Gulf perspective on Iran, Mr. Trump could be assisting a strategy Gulf leaders use when times get hard at home.

Others questioned the value of working with autocrats to fight terrorism.
“The worldview that we are fighting against needs to be countered with liberal ideas, not Salafi ideas,” said Mokhtar Awad, a research fellow in the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, referring to Saudi Arabia’s conservative branch of Islam.

ReplyDeleteA New Hope: Trump is Han Solo, not Darth Vader
By Sam Agami| May 18th, 2017
As we enter yet another day of unhinged, unsupported attacks on the president, it is a good time to take a moment to analyze where the motivations on both sides are. Those on the left, with their core of true believers in the legacy media, see themselves as fighting a heroic resistance battle.
After all, Donald Trump is Darth Vader and the Republicans constitute the Empire, right? Trump and Trumpkins constitute the institutional embodiment of the dark side, the willing and/or unknowing advocates of evil on Earth. Leftist icon Noam Chomsky made this explicit in a May 11 interview with the BBC. Chomsky claimed President Trump and Republicans are a greater threat to the world than North Korea or ISIS. They are, he said, “dedicated to destroying the prospects for organized human existence.” These sentiments are shared by a lot of people, both in and out of positions of power in the Democratic Party....(read on for Han Solo reference)

Noam has really needed help for a long, long time, even from before the days when he denied the Cambodian Holocaust.
The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

Donald Trump recently stated that "No politician in history ... has been treated worse or more unfairly." While that's hyperbole, Trump should consider these attacks a tribute.
ReplyDeleteAs the World War II bomber pilots said, "If you're not catching flack, you're not over the target."
The left and the Establishment consider Trump an "over the target" existential threat.
But ... why?
The political rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air in Washington are bedazzling and bedeviling. To some, wearying.
