A clear and present danger.

 TWEET MEAt this point I have given up trying to warn the American people about the dangers of Donald trump and his presidency. 

Now that we have trump backed right-wing militia men beating dissenters in the streets, and Mr. trump openly declaring his racism and telling his supporters to cheat in order for him to win the election, I hope that those of you with an iota of intelligence will realize just how much of a clear and present danger this guy is. 

Today portions of the Bob Woodward book was leaked, and in it he wrote that Mr. trump was aware of the dangers of the coronavirus to the American people and his intentional intent to play it down. The result of his malevolent and dishonest deeds is that more Americans died. Of course Americans dying to Mr. trump doesn't matter as long as he can get reelected. We are seeing that now, and, more importantly, we are hearing it as well. We are hearing it because Woodward actually has trump on tape. I can't wait to see how his minions and sycophants spin their way out of this one. 

Oh, and by the way, Bob Woodward is no hero in this story. If he really had all of this information and knew that Mr. trump's actions were dangerous to the American people and did not reveal it, and if he did choose profit over the lives and well being of the American people, shame on him.

But back to my original point about the dangers of Donald trump, and the rise of fascism in America.

Here are excerpts from an article by Dean Obeidallah writing for The Daily Beast:

"Many people have used the word “fascist” to describe Donald Trump over the past few years. I was not one of them—until Monday night, when Trump openly defended and endorsed violence by his supporters.

First, Trump shockingly defended his 17-year-old supporter Kyle Rittenhouse, who drove across state lines into Wisconsin where he illegally carried a weapon in the streets of Kenosha and then shot and killed two people. (Criminal charges filed against Rittenhouse include first-degree intentional homicide and illegal possession of a deadly weapon.)

Then Trump backed his supporters who on Saturday descended in a caravan of cars on Portland, Oregon, where they were seen shooting projectiles such as paintballs and pepper spray at people in the street. Trump defended this criminal conduct as a “peaceful protest,” arguing that “paint is not bullets.” In reality, shooting people with paintballs is a crime—we all know that. It could blind a person or worse. Yet Trump defends it because the people engaged in this violence were on Team Trump.

We have now entered a new reality in America where Trump, like fascists before, is embracing violence to remain in power. Let’s be clear about what fascism is. As Madeleine Albright explained while discussing her 2018 book, Fascism: A Warning, “Fascism is not an ideology; it’s a process for taking and holding power.” She added that “what differentiates fascism from other ideological movements is the use of violence and anger to achieve political ends.” Hammering that point home, Albright back in early 2019 used a line that sums up Trump today: “Fascism involves the endorsement and use of violence to achieve political goals and stay in power.”

While Trump has embraced other methods used by fascists before—such as pitting Americans against one another to incite anger—that has been utilized by other modern politicians without veering into fascism. What changed this for me was Trump’s embrace of violence to help him remain in power, This is fascism. Period.

 Authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of the new book Strongmen: From Mussolini to the Present, painted a dark picture for me of Trump’s playbook. “His goal between now and November is to make the U.S. erupt into true chaos so he and William Barr can justify the authoritarian crackdown they dream of,” she said.

To this end, Trump’s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said point-blank Thursday on Fox News that violence helps Trump. While discussing the protests in Kenosha from the night before, Conway uttered the jaw-dropping line, “The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better it is for the very clear choice on who’s best on public safety and law and order.”

Jared Kushner offered a similar message to Politico, noting that the violence the country saw following the killing of George Floyd could “tip” Minnesota voters toward Trump.

If you love Trump and are looking for a way to help, Team Trump is giving you this simple message: Commit more acts of violence. Thus, it comes as no surprise that two days after Conway’s words on Fox News, Trump supporters sprang into action, heading to Portland where they engaged in acts of violence by shooting people with projectiles. Today it was paintballs. Tomorrow, will it be bullets?

Conway’s words were so jarring and bluntly un-American that Joe Biden slammed them in his powerful and pointed speech Monday. First, he declared, “One of his [Trump’s] closest political advisers in the White House doesn’t even bother to speak in code, just comes out and she says it. The more chaos, violence, the better it is for Trump’s re-election.” Biden then added, “Just think about that. This is a sitting president of the United States of America. He’s supposed to be protecting this country, but instead he’s rooting for chaos and violence.”

Biden is clearly stunned, as anyone who values our democratic republic should be. I understand Biden may be hesitant to use the word fascist to describe Trump because it could be dismissed as the mirror of Trump’s baseless claim that Biden is a socialist. But it is absolutely necessary to alert Americans who may not be paying attention to the threat Trump poses—and coming from Biden, who is more reserved in his choice of words, using the words fascist could be persuasive. At the very least, it could serve as a warning that could save lives given Trump’s record of inciting violence in the past.

We all remember during the 2016 campaign when Trump explicitly encouraged violence at his rallies with lines like, "If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell… I promise you I will pay for the legal fees.”

And since Trump took the White House, others have committed violence in his name, such as Cesar Sayoc, known as the MAGA bomber. All told, ABC News reported in May that it found over 40 cases in court pleadings since 2017 in which Trump was cited as a factor that inspired the crime, from terroristic threats against Rep. Maxine Waters to threats to kill leaders of an Arab-American organization. ABC did not find any cases that cited President Obama or George W. Bush as the reason for their attack.

Joe Biden tells us that this election is for the “soul of the nation.” It’s actually bigger than that. If Trump wins there are no limits to what he will do—especially if he can pack the Supreme Court with even more like-minded justices. This election, our democracy, our civil liberties and even our freedom is on the ballot. Those are the real stakes."[Story]

You know, it's truly impressive how you can maintain these DEFCON 4 levels of hysteria day after day, week after week, year after year. Every time the media rings a bell, you jump up and start barking. Then whatever it was that got you excited turns out to be fiction, and you just go back to waiting for the next one. Most people, even hard core basket cases like you, would eventually realize they are being played and not fall for the same bullshit over and over. But not you. This time is different! This validates my reality! But reality just keeps being real.

What a sad, empty shell of man you have become. Seek help.

And now in his own words, Trump says that he knew back in February that the virus was spread through the air, yet he has done everything in his power to discourage people from wearing masks. It appears that he wants people to die, yet you are defending him. Why? What's in it for you?

“Now that we have trump backed right-wing militia men beating dissenters in the streets ...”

Things are getting very Weimar Republic up in here these days. Germany in the ‘20s and early ‘30s was characterized by rampant violence between far-left and far-right militias (while the ruling SPD party, kind of a center-left German version of America’s Democrats, limped from crisis to crisis and couldn’t manage to get the violence, or a disastrous economy, under control).

That kind of madness seems to be starting up in the US, with a president whose rhetoric encourages hatred and chaos.

So Kushner and Fergus were eager to do interviews with Woodward because they believed that they could spin him into writing a favorable, and coming from him, credible account of their covid response.

There are a few things that can be inferred from this:

One, that Fergus knew all along what the consequences of his failure to act were, throwing the entire response over into the mass-murder column.

Two, that Kushner and Fergus are egotistical, narcissistic morons who shouldn't be allowed within forty yards of any position of responsibility beyond "Would you like fries with that?"

Three, that they actually do understand what credibility is and how it works, exposing their actual assessment of the intelligence of their supporters: "They have to be stupid, they support us. Tell them any shit that you want and the suckers will believe it and excitedly go tell all of their friends about it."

Four, the programming of the Pig People is total and unassailable. Sure, there are nine hours of recordings of Fergus saying all of this shit, and it won't make one iota of difference to the Pig People.
Even as they watch friends and family members sicken and die from a disease Fergus utterly failed to contain and encouraged those friends and family members to take risks of infection over and over and over.
On national TV. When he absolutely knew what the fuck he was doing.
Of course the Pig People have been training for this since the supreme court struck down the Medicaid expansion in the ACA and Republican governors who refused to expand it have been killing 10~15K people a year ever since, and only in the last couple of years have the people in those states passed ballot initiatives expanding Medicaid. So for a decade, those Pig People have been used to seeing folks they know die unnecessarily for stupid ideology, somewhat preparing them for the multi-hundred thousand death Republican oopsie event.

Five: That, being egotistical narcissists, it never occurred to them to wonder if, given what became of all previous fascist regimes, it might be less than wise to try and fire up another one. Of course not, none of those other fascist leaders were nearly as brilliant as they were, so they were doomed from the gate.

It’s mind-boggling to think that for so many people, Trump on tape admitting that he lied about the danger of COVID-19, which just days later he called a “Democrat hoax” and equated to the flu and said it would magically disappear, it won’t really move the needle at all. They’ll just ram their heads farther up their own asses and go around spouting whatever lame excuses Trump has made for his evil actions.

Those excuses don’t even make any sense, of course. Consider them for even a millisecond and they collapse like a house of cards.

“I lied because I didn’t want to panic the public” is fucking nonsensical. Trump is referencing disaster movie plots, wherein sinister terrorists plan to detonate a nuclear device in a major city, and the authorities withhold the news to avoid huge numbers of people dying as they attempt to flee the city en masse, resulting in car crashes, murders, the critically ill and disabled abandoned and left to fend for themselves, etc.

The point being that, in those movies, the public would attempt to protect themselves in ways that would be futile and would actually make the problem worse. That is not the case with a pandemic — you have to let the public know the nature of the threat so they will modify their behavior in ways that will usefully slow disease transmission. Telling the public “it’s just the flu” is essentially telling them to do nothing at all.

Trump’s lies weren’t helpful; they were motivated by wishful thinking and incompetence. He didn’t know what actions to take, so he took none. He told the public the virus would melt away, because that’s what he wanted to happen, not because there was any reason to believe it would.

Trump’s lies were like a doctor not telling a patient about a treatable cancer so as to “not panic” them. That would result in the doctor losing his job, and that’s the same thing that should happen to Trump.

It's actually how the government operates and defensible in this case.

"Downplaying" with words didn't change the government's actual actions in responding to the emergence of COVID.

Biden now says if he were President at the time he would've told Americans that it was far deadlier than the flu, highly contagious, no one knew how to stop it, and the national stockpile of PPE and equipment was left empty because the Obama administration didn't restock it thereby inciting widespread panic.

I suppose that would have been preferable to you.

No, it didn’t change the government’s actions. And the government’s actions amounted to not doing jack shit.

Which makes it even more reprehensible that Trump induced the public to ALSO do nothing.

Which is why our infection rates are so high: the federal government didn’t act, and neither did a large part of the populace.

All of that is on Trump.

"Which is why our infection rates are so high: the federal government didn’t act, and neither did a large part of the populace"

Sweden didn't do lockdowns or make people wear masks, and the pandemic is pretty much over there. It's pretty much over in the US too.

The progression of the virus across the globe was pretty much independent of government actions. Much more important were demographic factors, such as the age of the population and previous exposure to pathogens. Africa did next to nothing and has very little medical infrastructure, and they have had very little impact from COVID.

The US has a high number of identified cases because we test more than anyone else.

Even in the worst hit areas, COVID really hasn't been much. It's not the plague, just a bad flu. It certainly didn't warrant locking people in their houses and destroying their livelihoods, which has caused more long term damage than the virus.

No, COVID is not basically over. Not here nor anywhere else in the world.

Rates are finally falling in the US, because people in the red states have finally caught a clue that the disease is real and they have to respond to it.

But those rates are falling from a very high level and we have a long way to go to reach the point where it can be considered suppressed. And things may get worse again, with the dual challenges of kids going back to school and winter coming on.

Blue states have much higher population densities and more international trade than the red states, making them more vulnerable to airborne disease transmission. It is a given that they’d get hit worse.

Red states had more advance warning than blue states before the infection reached them and could have had much lower death tolls than they did, if they had prepared for it. But they didn’t prepare, because Trump told them there was nothing to worry about.

Yeah, this could not be further from the truth.

The US has the worst performance of any country in the world right now, in absolute terms. Although we will likely be overtaken in a month or two by India, where the virus is raging out of control.

And in per capita terms, we’re not the worst in the world, but certainly have done a an abysmal job. We’ve definitely done much worse than any other industrialized nation.

It’s infuriating how many deaths didn’t need to happen in a wealthy country like the US. We could’ve prevented this, but just ... didn’t.

And all this only considers the health damage of Trump’s non-policies for dealing with COVID, and ignores his total non-efforts to mitigate the economic damage. It’s a massive, massive failure all around.

He doesn’t understand what Woodward books are. [Nicolle Wallace: laughter] And so this is, that’s, that’s strike one. Strike two is he sits for eighteen interviews. Okay, who in their right mind, who’s running for office in a year, within the year, sits for eighteen interviews with a journalist? This is not a smart thing to do [Voice: “With anyone.”] This is beyond folly. This is ultimate stupidity. He is so stupid. And he knows, he does, he did the last interview like a month ago. He did the last interview a month ago. So when is the book coming out? The book is coming out within two months of his election. With tapes. Eighteen hours of tapes. Hours and hours of tapes. So, this president is the stupidest president that has ever held the office. Forget about for a minute, for all of his followers, forget about the integrity issue, forget about the character issue. This guy’s too dumb to lead this country ’cause this was really, really stupid…’"

Cool story Doug.

Actual Obstruction of Justice said...

Newly released DOJ records show that multiple top members of Mueller's investigative team claimed to have "accidentally wiped" at least 15 (!) phones used during the anti-Trump investigation after the DOJ OIG asked for the devies to be handed over.

Federal records show that Mueller deputy Andrew Weismann claims to have "accidentally" wiped, via wrong passwords at least 2 phones detailing his activity during the anti-Trump probe. James Quarles' phone "wiped itself." Greg Andre also made the same wrong password claim.

Mueller deputy Kyle Freeny similarly claimed that his phone was accidentally wiped after too many wrong passwords were entered. Same with Mueller deputy Rush Atkinson.

At least a 12 other officials whose names are redacted also claimed to have "accidentally" nuked their phones.

The newly released DOJ records from the OIG investigation of corruption during the Mueller probe shows that a key tactic used by the Mueller team was to put the phones in airplane mode, lock them, and then claim they didn't have the password.

At least fifteen times the indisputably brilliant minds tapped to run the Mueller investigation all sat down and "accidentally" entered the wrong password on their own phone 10 times in a row, the threshhold required to nuke a phone.

What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all "accidentally" nuking their phones or accidentally putting them in airplane mode, locking them, and "forgetting" their passwords so the DOJ OIG couldn't access and examine them?

The Mueller team also miraculously reset Peter Strzok's and Lisa Page's phones to factory settings and reassigned them.

What, pray tell, were they hiding?

A party that promises to destroy the economy and subject the rest of the country to rolling blackouts like they are having in California. A party eager to fire up the Forever War machine. A party committed to promoting gender dysphoria and normalizing pedophilia.

The party that has spent the last four years trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election should be in no way rewarded in 2020 for their despicable criminal behavior.

You must one of the least informed person on planet Earth. The detailed procedures that Obama left Trump were originally developed by George w. Bush in 2005 after he read John M. Berry's "The Great Influenza."

George W. Bush in 2005: Here's the story and here's what he said "If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare."

"Thus was born the nation's most comprehensive pandemic plan -- a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said."

The effort was intense over the ensuing three years, including exercises where cabinet officials gamed out their responses, but it was not sustained. Large swaths of the ambitious plan were either not fully realized or entirely shelved as other priorities and crises took hold.

Your reading comprehension is dreadful. No, Obama didn't squander the supplies. You must have pulled that line out your ear.

9/11: Clinton ignores rising terrorism threat, passes on a chance to take out Bin Laden, set up Jamie Gorelik's "wall" that prevented intelligence agencies and law enforcement from sharing information on plan that been progressing for 7 years, mandates sensitivity training that prevents agent from questioning Mohammed Atta, hands off to Bush after he couldn't start the transition until a month before inauguration because Gore was trying to overturn the election results, then attack is sprung 7.5 months into Bush's term. Clinton then has Sandy Berger steal and destroy documents from the National Archive that had been requested by the 9/11 Commission (on which Jamie Gorelik sat, of course).

COVID-19: Obama uses up all the pandemic stocks and doesn't replace them, offshores all pharmaceutical and PPE production to China, when pandemic hits Trump had spent the last three years fighting the Russia collusion hoax and was in the final days of the fake impeachment attempt, Dems attack his swift move to shut down travel from China as "racist" and tell people to go to China town parades and hug a Chinaman. Cuomo kills 30,000 people by sending infected people to nursing homes. Dems wreck economy through draconian lockdowns to help Biden, then unleash hordes of rioters on nation because you can't catch corona if you are rioting for racial justice.

Sorry, Noticer, but you are wrong. You can read the entire article at the web address below. And if you Google the topic, you will find other articles with similar conclusions.

"Claim: The Obama administration left Trump with a “stockpile with a cupboard that was bare.”

Claimed by: Donald Trump"is exaggerating. While the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted shortcomings in the nation’s stockpile of emergency supplies and equipment, Trump did not inherit bare inventory.

It was full of supplies, but not enough to handle this particular pandemic. Most notably, the stockpile was short of N95 masks, the supply of which was depleted following the 2009 H1N1 outbreak during President Barack Obama’s tenure."

" In November, the director of the stockpile described it as an $8 billion enterprise. "Even if the needed products are not currently held in house, stockpile experts have purchasing power to get what is needed to protect Americans," wrote Greg Burel, who retired in January." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/08/donald-trump/trump-said-obama-admin-left-him-bare-stockpile-wro/

I expect you've heard the list of Trump's contenders for the next Supreme Court seat, should he be re-elected. Included are Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz. The list was produced when everyone was aghast at his comments in the Woodward interviews and his depiction of military members as "suckers" and "losers." The list waan't an attempt to win more support--undecideds wouldn't be swayed by the list. But it WAS an attempt to throw red meat to the Libs, who were supposed to get upset, which would then warm the hearts of the dispossessed wavering MAGA fans. Many of the latter enjoy the way Trump enflames the hated Libruls more than they admire Trump, and by now, he knows that.

11th circuit court of appeals upheld Florida's poll tax on convicted felons, saying they must pay all fines and fees even though the state has no actual record of what is owed by whom, in order to vote. The 6-4 vote was spearheaded by the 5 useless wingnut ideologues drumpf appointed to that court.

So you were being basically dishonest in posting something designed to make these teenagers look really bad. I'm not excusing their behavior, but I can certainly understand it. If this happened to me, I'd get a little hot about it and threaten to sue instead of throwing stuff. But I am adult - a very old adult.

As for no one wanting to be around black people, you are dead wrong. I'm someone who likes very much to be around black people. In fact, I like it so much, I married one. Have a nice night.

CHICAGO — Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul saw a question pop up on his Facebook feed after George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. “How old were you when a cop 1st pulled a gun on you?”

“Seventeen,” he answered. It happened at the corner of 50th and Woodlawn avenues on Chicago’s South Side. Read more at ...........

Half of Biden's donations coming from untraceable donors claiming to be 'unemployed':

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/exclusive-data-shows-that-half-of-2019-donations-to-actblue-came-from-untraceable-unemployed-donors

The money is coming from foreign donors and/or is being laundered through straw donors:

Auditing these suspect donations to determine if millions lied by indicating they were unemployed when in fact they were not, or if their names were just being used by a foreign programmer or someone else to move money without their knowledge, will take time," Pudner said. "We've planned a series of forensic procedures to identify whether or not these donors of record exist or not, if they made the contributions themselves, and whether they were legally able, and whether or not they are potential 'straw' donors, making the contributions after being given the money and direction by someone else."
