Welcome to trumpistan.

Image result for trump imagesHave you been watching the senate impeachment trial going on in Washington? The mismatch between the two sides when it comes to their legal advocates have been frightening. The republican legal team just keeps flooding the process with lies and lousy legal arguments. The democrats, on the other hand, have been on their game. If this was an actual game the referees would have invoked the mercy rule by now. Adam Schiff deserves a special place in history for his work on the senate floor in laying out the legal arguments to remove Mr. trump from office.

Of course all of this will not matter, because the trump cult members republicans in Washington have already decided that they will protect a corrupt and out of control president no matter what. Some of them will pretend to deliberate (I see you Susan Collins and Mitt Romney), and others, to their everlasting shame, will not even pretend to have an open mind. Holding on to power and getting reelected is far more important than honoring the oath they took to be impartial, and to respect the Constitution of the United States. To them, loyalty to trump is more important than loyalty to their country. Some of them, in violation of senate rules, are even walking out of the senate chambers while the democrats are making their arguments.

If Americans could turn away from The Bachelor and Dancing With The Stars long enough to watch the impeachment trial they might actually learn something about what the president did to get us to this point. The democrat House impeachment team has laid it out with sound factual arguments and demonstrative evidence.

The outcome of this particular trial is a fait accompli, and you could argue that we won't know the result of what is happening until November, which is when the American people will decide if we want to continue under this current regime.

Adam Schiff said the following: .

"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’”


Those words were written by Alexander Hamilton in a letter to President George Washington, at the height of the Panic of 1792, a financial credit crisis that shook our young nation. Hamilton was responding to sentiments relayed to Washington as he traveled the country, that America, in the face of that crisis, might descend from “a republican form of Government,” plunging instead into “that of a monarchy.”

The Framers of our Constitution worried then—as we worry today—that a leader could come to power not to carry out the will of the people that he was elected to represent, but to pursue his own interests. They feared that a president could subvert our democracy by abusing the awesome power of his office for his own personal or political gain.

And so they devised a remedy as powerful as the evil it was meant to combat: Impeachment.

As the centuries have passed, our Founders have achieved an almost mythic character. We are aware of their flaws, certainly, some very painful and pronounced indeed. And yet, when it came to the drafting of a new system of government, never seen before and with no guarantee it could succeed, we cannot help but be in awe of their genius, their prescience, even, vindicated time and time again."

Not quite Mr. Schiff, because in trumpistan, none of that matters.

Oh yeah, Feeled.  Because a man, who could easily have stood back and enjoyed his wealth and his resorts around the world, instead decided to run for office to challenge the corrupt and corrupting system afflicting his country, and SUCCEEDED and is now dismantling the networks of destruction and positive EVIL that had held it in thrall, MUST be wrong according to your lights.  Because YOU are on the side of evil.

When Schiff makes the deranged statement, "The US aids Ukraine and her people so that they can fight Russia over there, and we don’t have to fight Russia here”, remember that warped logic was ratified when the impeachment articles were passed. Damage has already been done.

BTW, there would be no fighting Russian "forces" in Ukraine had Obama not engineered regime change.

The anonymoids got here early. Cleanup on aisle three!

The bitterness visible on the Senate floor, the White house, and here is obvious. The reason why is less obvious. Yes, the R's and the Trump cult are defending a man with no honor, and so they deride law, justice and reason; but why? What's in it for them? Trump's in it for Trump alone; he betrays everyone close to him, and the closer, the worse the betrayal. Really he's his own worst enemy. So why stick with him?

He routinely commits what I call 'crimes against reason'. That phrase has two meanings. The first meaning is that his crimes are against Reason itself. He wants us all to be as incapable of thought as he himself is, to prevent us from defending himself against him. But the second meaning is that his crimes make no sense. They don't even profit him; so his crimes have no reason.

What profit it a man to win power but lose his mind?

I think Trumpism makes logical sense if it is motivated not by the will to live, but by the will to die. Truth, reason, justice, love and liberty lead towards life; therefore Trumpism hates and enslaves and corrupts and lies and deludes; and above all, self-deludes.

It is not necessary to destroy Trumpism, or the pseudo-conservative nihilism that Trumpism is the natural result of. These things will destroy themselves, for that is what they are for. It's how they are designed. What is necessary is knowing how not to self-destroy along with them.

Therefore be good to yourself. Practice love and thought for yourself and for others. In times such as these, choosing sanity is an act of political resistance. It is a defense against the dark arts.

I recommend these practices to all who read this; even the bitter nihilistic trolls who post in bad faith upon this thread, for they need psychic self-defense most desperately of all.

This post is like a mirror. It will be damned by the self-damned, and blessed by the self-blessed.

dinthebeast said...

What Paradoctor said. Really.

"So why stick with him?"
They want to keep their jobs and the power that goes with them, and Fergus' idiot hordes are a majority of the Republican primary electorate right now, while he's still president.

"What profit it a man to win power but lose his mind?"
Depends on the man and the mind. Fergus never had much of one to begin with. More like a cheap recording device stuffed full of aggressions he was too weak to act on and warped standards of dominance where a value system should be. Never able to measure up to his father or Roy Cohn, his response is to find those he sees as weaker than him and do whatever damage to them he can. Anyone who ever grew the fuck up got past those feelings, but never having had to do anything in his whole miserable life, he never did.

"...in trumpistan, none of that matters."
So now it's our job to make it matter in November.

Well, the masses of dumbass MAGA hatters simply like the warped fantasy Trump's peddling. They badly want to believe that the only thing wrong with America is that there are "bad guys" -- brown people, foreign countries, the UN, whatever -- who are stopping us from being great.

In the literal words of Kanye, "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME BE GREAT!!!"

And Trump is going to fix all that by punching those bad guys in the face. He thrills them when he throws up policy ideas that aren't designed to accomplish anything useful beyond "owning the libs."

As for the elected GOP officials, as Doug said, they are afraid of the dumbass MAGA hatters. They want to keep their jobs, and don't care if that means the country goes to hell in a handbasket. They will parrot the most embarrassing, improbable Trump lies, vote to keep Trump as president, and flush their dignity down the toilet if it means they get to stay on Capitol Hill for a few more years.

All of that is revolting, but here we are.

As far as Ukraine goes...I am so sick of hearing about them. Russia is NOT "at war" with Ukraine. If they were, Ukraine would be a wasteland. Ukraine is NOT a "vital interest to the national security of the US". They are a piss-ass, corrupt country. Why do they need US taxpayers money? Javelin anti-tank missiles? The Europeans produce many fine anti-tank weapons, for example, the Carl-Gustav. Ukraine might be important to their "security"...but not ours. Let them give Ukraine all the "military assistance" they need.

BTW, just what does "military assistance" actually mean? The US taxpayer just "gives" them this stuff? To be paid back at some later date? Yeah, we all see how that went in WWII. As far as I am aware, Finland is the ONLY country to ever pay off, or even make payments, of it's war debt to the U.s. Ukraine is in the Russian "sphere of influence". Always has been, always will be. I'd be pissed if the Russians were selling missiles to Mexico, too...(if they aren't already). Remember Cuba?

And I wonder if the mentions of Jamaica and Liberia were tests. Jamaica was one of the islands where the Spanish and their Moor compatriots committed genocide on the autochthonous people there and then Jamaica was used to ship the recaptured from plantations enslaved autochthonous POWs of Amer'ica. As for Liberia, 12,000 (actually a conservative estimate) autochthonous POWs of Amer'ica were shipped there to form a ruling political class of that country. Then again, you may well have plucked those countries from your ass in a monkey idiot savant moment.

"I'm so scared of people with more melanin in their skin I go to their websites and blogs and troll them. Each morning I search high and low with my default search that I set just before I go about my uneasy sleep where I have repetitive nightmares of being surrounded by people with more melanin in their skin. I guess that's what we all get for being macrocosmic cancer cells as we weaponize our very beings in order to devour nature itself."

It's funny, white people complain that when crimes are committed in their "hoods" police show up far, far after the fact. Why? Because police are instructed not to do not patrol their neighborhoods and instead over patrol people with more melanin.

The result of this racist-nightmarish obsession with "black" bodies is gross underreporting of white crime. It's very convenient, though, for the large percentage of fragile people with less melanin who fear their shadows never realizing they live in a ghost-goblin-filled world ---- that they contrived - lmao!

What's even funnier is that, comparatively, you rarely see us flooding "your" fear-tinged websites with our presence; we already laugh at you enough.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't said...

"Because police are instructed not to do not patrol their neighborhoods and instead over patrol people with more melanin."

If you want to fight crime, you concentrate on where the crime is.

The fact is, black neighborhoods have much higher violent crime rates than anywhere else.

And yes, increased police presence in black neighborhoods leads to higher black arrest rates.

If police presence was reduced, crimes against the inhabitants would increase.

This is exactly what has happened in places like Baltimore, St. Louis, and other cities were police have backed off following the Michael Brown and Freddie Gray killings. It's called the "Ferguson Effect" and has resulted in thousands of extra murders of black people.

from alternet.org this morning...

While attending the World Economic Forum’s summit of global elites in the Swiss mountaintop retreat of Davos on Wednesday, President Donald Trump openly admitted he would—if reelected in 2020—consider cutting back funding for key social programs including Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.

We all knew this was coming. Trump wants poor people to be even poorer.

Nah, there's no reason to worry about the peace-loving black and brown folks. Just look at South Africa today:

Same for that utopia, Zimbabwe, which used to be Rhodesia, then known as the "breadbasket of Africa". Now, they beg for food from the world.

I swear, they've gotten almost as bad as Chicago or Philadelphia. They probably have better football teams, though.

On the bright side, I saw an interview with the President of Botswana at the forum in Davos. He seemed to have his sh!t together. He must have gone to school abroad.

"consider cutting back funding for key social programs"

Just for you, Granny.

And to be clear, when he was specifically asked if he would consider entitlement reforms, he said "At the time, we will take a look at that". He went on to tout how much revenue the government was receiving, so the idea he was saying he would support cutting anything is projection.

If he had said he wouldn't consider reforms, you'd be implying he was being irresponsible in managing the budget.

Everyone knows that the impeachment farce is just a political show with the objective of being an obstruction of justice for swamp corruption. It's purpose is to delay and distract from addressing the rampant lawlessness of the swine who run our nation. It makes investigating corruption a crime. Obscures giult. Undermines the government and the rule of law.

If this were a real country, we would be rounding up subversives and seditionists.

Well, we all know why you don't, don't we?

Would make some great Hallmark Movies.

BTW, while I'm at it...Have you seen those stupid ZOLA commercials, that they play incessantly? My question is about the two Lesbians getting married. Now, the taller blonde is wearing a veil and a dress. The shorter brunette is wearing a pants suit. What does this indicate to the viewer? I do know straight women, and to them, the wedding ceremony means "everything"! So, there is a message there, I just can't translate it.

So, I'm wondering...when two gay guys get "married" does one wear a tux, and the other a dress? Wonder what Mayor Buttplug wore, since they want to adopt, when they get into the White House, and he says his "whatever" will make a great father. I just don't get it.

BREAKING: Newly Released Email Shows Obama's White House Meeting With Ukranian Prosecutors to Discuss... Hunter Biden and Burisma

Politico reporter Ken Vogel contacted the White House for comment on a story he was working on. It's this email that has just been revealed.

On May 1, 2019, Vogel contacted State Department official Kate Schilling about a story he was working on regarding an Obama administration meeting in January 2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and mentioned the name of the CIA analyst believed to be the whistleblower whose complaint sparked impeachment proceedings that led to two articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Ingraham did not state the name of the alleged whistleblower — Fox News hosts are banned from doing so until the identity is confirmed — and blacked out the name when showing excerpts of documents. However, she likely was referring to Eric Ciaramella, who some Republicans and conservative media figures believe is the whistleblower.

In the email, Vogel wrote, "We are going to report that [State Department official] Elizabeth Zentos attended a meeting at the White House on 1/19/2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and embassy officials as well as ... [redacted] from the NSC ... the subjects discussed included efforts within the United State government to support prosecutions, in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, of Burisma Holdings, ... and concerns that Hunter Biden's position with the company could complicate such efforts."

Using archived Obama White House visitor logs, Ingraham said her team was able to corroborate details of the January 2016 meeting, showing on the screen the names of Ukrainian officials checked into the White House by Ciaramella, who was Ukraine director on the National Security Council.

"Uh ok, let's impeach Obama."

The point is, Trump was right about what happened during the previous administration:

1. The Obama administration colluded with Ukraine to get dirt on Trump in order to influence the 2016 election.
2. The Obama administration illegally spied on Trump as part of the false Russian collusion narrative.
3. The Obama administration knew about Hunter Biden's corrupt dealings and sought the help of Ukraine in covering it up. They eventually had to threaten to withhold aid to get a prosecutor fired.
4. The Democrats impeached Trump for abuse of power because he asked about Biden's abuse of power.

As the facts show, the Obama administration colluded with foreign governments to influence the 2016 election, and then accused Trump of the very same thing in order to cover it up.

Now as part of the 2020 election, the Democrats are accusing Trump of abusing the power of his office in order to cover up Biden's abusing the power of his office.

Trump was completely justified in asking the Ukrainians for assistance in investigating just what the previous administration was up to.

"Because police are instructed not to do not patrol their neighborhoods and instead over patrol people with more melanin."
If you want to fight crime, you concentrate on where the crime is.
The fact is, black neighborhoods have much higher violent crime rates than anywhere else.
And yes, increased police presence in black neighborhoods leads to higher black arrest rates.
If police presence was reduced, crimes against the inhabitants would increase.
This is exactly what has happened in places like Baltimore, St. Louis, and other cities were police have backed off following the Michael Brown and Freddie Gray killings. It's called the "Ferguson Effect" and has resulted in thousands of extra murders of black people.

Gee, I wonder what kids are learning in college that so heavily influences their politics.

In reviewing records with the Federal Election Commission, they say that they found that professors gave to Democrats over Republicans by a 95:1 ratio.

The researchers looked at 2,301 political donations and found that 2,081 went to Democrats while just 22 went to Republicans. Only nine professors gave to both parties.

He quit the GOP and ran as an independent for his third term. But sure, we're splitting hairs here. When it comes to his beliefs on economics and law enforcement, he's a Republican.

He just doesn't fit into that party anymore, because the GOP has gone full Nazi and to succeed as a candidate for them, you now have to both support endless tax cuts for the rich AND also proudly spew racist junk about Mexican rapists and Muslim terrorists.

So Bloomberg doesn't belong in the RepubliNazi Party, nor is he credible as a Democrat. It is time for him to quit politics, fuck off, and go quietly enjoy his money.

By the way... In one Powerpuff Girls episode, Princess bought the mayorship of Townsville with her Daddy's money, and she legalized crime. She did this just to thwart the Powerpuff Girls; but Blossom came up with an ingenious solution. Since crime was legal, the Powerpuff Girls could steal everything Princess and her Daddy had; so they did, and as ransom for its return, Princess had to make crime illegal again, and resign the mayorship.

Most professors tend to be smart so conservative politics don't appeal to them. Just like most scientists are Democrats.

Trump caught on recording pushing for Ukraine ambassador's ouster
ABC News has reviewed a recording of Trump calling for the removal of then-US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, a year before she was recalled from Kyiv over what she called “unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives.”

The president appears to have been recorded at a small 2018 gathering that included Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two former associates of Rudy Giuliani who have been indicted on campaign-finance charges and implicated in the Ukraine controversy.

ABC News reports:

The recording appears to contradict statements by President Trump and support the narrative that has been offered by Parnas during broadcast interviews in recent days. Sources familiar with the recording said the recording was made during an intimate April 30, 2018 dinner at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Trump has said repeatedly he does not know Parnas, a Soviet-born America who has emerged as a wild card in Trump’s impeachment trial, especially in the days since Trump was impeached.

The impeachment case against Mr. Trump might mercifully spell the end of the Master Narrative the Democrats have been confabulating since 2016: that Donald Trump invited the wicked Vlad Putin to checkmate Hillary Clinton and thereby crushed the hopes and dreams of those wishing to make Ukraine the 51st state… or something like that. Because according to Mr. Schiff, there is no nation on this planet as dear to the interests of America than darling Ukraine, with its radioactive forests, decrepitating Soviet infrastructure, and dedication to liberty.

Those who were only puzzling over Nancy Pelosi’s motives in bringing this case, and assigning it to the two sketchiest characters in her charge, Schiff & Nadler, must finally be convinced that she is no longer sound of mind. What was she thinking? Did she really want to set up the voters to lose faith in the basic electoral process by preemptively delegitimizing the 2020 election? (“Trump can only win if he cheats!”) Is she that desperate to flip the Senate to prevent anymore judicial appointments? Could be. Or is the impeachment spectacle a different kind of set-up: to make the forthcoming raft of indictments against RussiaGate coupsters look like a mere act of revenge rather than long-delayed justice for a three-year campaign of perfidious sedition by some of the highest officials in the land?

In the meantime, an interesting development flew in under the radar as the impeachment spectacle hogged the news: The Department of Justice yesterday declared two of four FISA warrants against Carter Page invalid. The warrants were signed by James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Rod Rosenstein. The move has deep repercussions in everything connected to the RussiaGate investigation, including especially the prosecutions mounted by Robert Mueller’s lawyers. It implies what has already been demonstrated by other evidence: That the FBI and the DOJ knew by January of 2017 at the latest that all the information they used to start the case against the President was garbage, and yet they continued it anyway — including the appointment of Mr. Mueller and his commission. The DOJ’s statement about the two FISA warrants doesn’t negate the possibility that the other two will also be declared invalid. It’s time for the figures involved in all this to become very afraid.

Trump Hints He May Be Open To Cutting Medicare, Safety-Net Programs In Shift From 2016 Campaign Promises
“At the right time, we will take a look at that. You know, that’s actually the easiest of all things, if you look,” President Donald Trump said in response to a question whether cuts to programs like Medicare and Social Security were on the table. The statement was a departure from the last election when Trump tapped into the popularity of the two programs while wooing voters.

The New York Times: Trump Opens Door To Cuts To Medicare And Other Entitlement Programs
President Trump suggested on Wednesday that he would be willing to consider cuts to social safety-net programs like Medicare to reduce the federal deficit if he wins a second term, an apparent shift from his 2016 campaign promise to protect funding for such entitlements. The president made the comments on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Despite promises to reduce the federal budget deficit, it has ballooned under Mr. Trump’s watch as a result of sweeping tax cuts and additional government spending. (Rappeport and Haberman, 1/22)

The Washington Post: Battle Over Social Security Spills Into 2020 Campaign As Democrats Spar And Trump Weighs In
Speaking with CNBC from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said tackling entitlement spending is “the easiest of all things” and seemed to suggest higher economic growth would make it simpler to cut spending on those programs. Those comments come amid a heated debate in the Democratic presidential primary over former vice president Joe Biden’s record on Social Security, just days before the Iowa caucuses. “At the right time, we will take a look at that. You know, that’s actually the easiest of all things, if you look,” Trump said. He later added when asked about entitlements: “Well, we’re going — we’re going to look. We also have assets that we’ve never had. I mean, we’ve never had growth like this.” (Stein and Viser, 1/22)

The Associated Press: Trump Suggests He May Be Open To Entitlement Cuts In Future
Early in his presidential campaign, Trump said he was a different sort of Republican, one who would not cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid. The Medicaid promise was ultimately abandoned. The unsuccessful Republican drive to repeal “Obamacare” would have also limited future federal spending on that federal-state health insurance program for low-income people. More recently, Trump’s 2020 budget called for deep cuts in Medicare payments to hospitals. (Alonso-Zaldivar and Madhani, 1/22)

Axios: Trump Suggests Entitlement Cuts Could Come In His Second Term
Why it matters: Trump shied away from committing to cuts to social safety-net programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security during his 2016 campaign. But his willingness to consider such measures now marks a shift that would likely appeal to the deficit hawks in the Republican Party. (Perano, 1/22)

USA Today: Trump Opens Door To Changing Medicare, Other Programs At Davos
Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg criticized the president. "Over and over, Donald Trump promised Americans that he would not cut Social Security and Medicare. He lied," Sanders wrote on Twitter. "When we win, we're not going to just protect Social Security and Medicare, we're going to expand them." (Collins and Jackson, 1/22)

Fergus ran on protecting Social Security and Medicare in 2016, just like he ran on replacing the ACA with something better and cheaper, paying off the national debt, bringing back coal mining, having Mexico pay to build a border wall, jailing his political opponents, and a host of other obvious lies his credulous fans sopped up like gravy at the time but don't seem to recall too well any more.

Since fraudulently obtaining office, he has abandoned those lies in favor of a more generic Republican agenda with only his erratic and capricious behavior and straight up criminality (resulting from his crusade to violate every norm and tradition ever associated with the presidency without any understanding of the function they had) to distinguish him from any other goddamn Republican who ever wanted to defile the presidency.

Which, of course, obliges him to advance their program or risk losing their support, which as of now is all that stands between him and a prison cell.

That program has been the same for decades: cut taxes and spend wildly in order to manufacture a "debt crisis" to use as a pretext to dismantle the New Deal and the Great Society in the face of their overwhelming popularity.

So that is where he stands on cutting Social Security and Medicare; he doesn't give a rat's ass about them but people keep telling him to shut up about that, which he is incapable of doing, so he keeps saying stupid shit about them because that does work as a distraction, and he really feels like he needs a distraction right now.

If nothing else, the tape shows, again, how much evidence we still haven’t seen about the Ukraine affair. And it underscores the elaborate, slippery dance that Senate Republicans are performing. First, they vote against gathering new witnesses and evidence at the start of the impeachment trial. Second, they complain that Democratic managers are offering no new evidence. Third, they say that it is pointless to call witnesses who might provide new evidence, because the White House will simply block them. In Trump’s Washington, Kafka seems quaint

PX: Yeah, I've been following their story, which I think is important because it is changing the outdated perception of just who the homeless are.

The part that never gets talked about is the money and work they expended getting the place livable again, not your typical squatter behavior.

Here's something I wrote on another blog right after the ACSD evicted them in a ridiculous show of force, but before I found out that they won their court case:

The organization the women belong to was offering to buy the property for what the absentee landlords paid for it, as they are with many other unoccupied properties in the East Bay, where there are brand new condo farms and tent cities as far as you can see.

This is all about wealthy gentrifiers getting wealthier at the expense of the residents of the neighborhoods they are trying to gentrify.

The peninsula tech boom has driven rents higher than normal working families can afford. Median rent in Oakland for a one bedroom is $2,500.

Oakland, and in particular West Oakland where Magnolia Street is located, used to be a working class place, which is one reason why I moved there and stayed for 35 years. I lived on Magnolia, between 24th and 26th streets in the late eighties in a long gone artist's collective, and on Peralta a few blocks west of there in a large warehouse space, also recently "redeveloped", from 2007 to 2011.

None of the neighborhoods in that area are even recognizable as what they were a decade ago.

Some will argue that the crime rates have gone down in the gentrified neighborhoods, but will ignore the fact that they have similarly gone down in the remaining non-gentrified areas as well.

The Oakland cops have a long history of malfeasance and corruption, and while in my experience the OPD is a cut above the smaller surrounding muni forces because they have actual crime to deal with and are less likely to jack you up out of boredom than, say, the Emeryville police, my experience dealing with the ACSD is limited to interacting with the deputies assigned to Highland Hospital, who I have never had a problem with.

Still, I am not surprised at the tactics reported, having lived through the over-reaction of other law enforcement agencies in the East Bay on more than one terrifying occasion.

This is the same justice department that was going to re-look at all emails to HRC and classify them long after the fact in hopes of snagging her with criminal activity.

As for the FISA warrants. too little to late. Next Dem justice department can reecertify the warrants as legitimate. AG Barr has no legitimacy or credibility and neither does drumpf and all the stoopid fucking wingnuts you care to name.

Like you were told, take your shit to Storm Front of the Daily Stormer where they excel in fairy tales.

No, it just means just because these fucking morons in drumpfs administration does something, doesn't mean it is legitimate or even lawful. Invalidating two FISA warrants, justified or not at this late stage is totally irrelevant to whether the warrants were necessary to track crim inal activities.

And from all that has transpired in this administration, more warrants should have been and should still be issued to combat the criminal enterprise.

Wingnut senators say they want to interview Hunter Biden so why don't they? They have 53 votes, more than enough to ask him to come make them look stoopid just like HRC did in Benghazi hearings.

Don't let the fact that neither Biden was impeached or had anything to do with drumpf's criminal activities get in the way of derailing a constitutionally mandated activity that wingnuts have wiped their asses with.

Lt. Commander Johnson said...

Pilotx, there you go, again, criticizing spelling and grammatical errors by commentators. Notice, not against the Liberal/Socialist sh1ts you agree with, and Lord knows, they use self-same errors constantly. Only the ones you disagree with.

As far as your criticism of my spelling and grammar might be, I am an excellent speller. My grammar might be prejudiced to Southern slang. I am, however a horrific typist.

I worked for 28 years for one of the most successful companies in my state. I was mostly in the Operations, and later sales, as a side-line. I once wrote a letter for my manager, because, as smart as he was, he couldn't spell worth a crap. He, in turn, apparently showed that letter to the son of President of the company, who was my "ultimate" boss. A few months later, and the son calls me, and asked me to write a letter for him. To a South American Country/business. But to keep it private...just between us.

It took me a couple of days, but I finally sent it to him, and didn't hear any more about it.

About a month later, he called me to his office. He gave me a framed copy of that letter, and told me it was the nicest, insulting, letter he had ever seen. He just said "it made the point".

Soon after, his brothers were asking for, or alluding to letters...as long as I didn't involve their Secretaries. My understanding was I was really not a favorite of those ladies.

Right. So why didn't he just fire her? Why make a year-long farce out of it and smear her with lies and involve Rudy and his crew? Any competent executive who wasn't trying to cover up shit he was afraid of exposing would have fired her as soon as he thought she wasn't doing the job he wanted done.

“Get rid of her!” a voice that is apparently Trump’s says in the recording. “Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”

That does not sound like "firing" her, unless by firearms. To me, the word "tomorrow" clinches it. Trump ordered a hit.

Welcome to 5th Avenue. Up until now the sheeple part of my mind has tried to say he's just a thug _wannabee_. No longer possible. He's a mobster, straight-up. We have proof.

I miss having the slightest scrap of respect for Trump, but I welcome the clarity. Truth hurts, but then it sets you free.

There you go lying again, some more and too still yet. Yovanavitch was there to fight corruption, same as Joe Biden. Problem was, drumpf was the corrupted one and tried to enlist Ukraine's new president to help him dig up dirt on Biden.

So, in that way, she undermined his policy. It was only after drumpf got caught that he tried to convince anyone he was fighting corruption. And stoopid fucking wingnuts fell for it again, some moar and too still yet, like always.

From Wiki..... Anti-corruption work and other activities

Ambassador Yovanovitch was known for her anti-corruption work including her speech at a conference held April 1, 2019
Yovanovitch was respected within the national security community for her efforts to encourage Ukraine to tackle corruption,[27] and during her tenure had sought to strengthen the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau, which had been created to bolster efforts to fight corruption in Ukraine; these efforts earned Yovanovitch some enemies within the country.[28] In a March 2019 speech to the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, Yovanovitch said that the Ukrainian government was not making sufficient progress to combat corruption, saying: "It is increasingly clear that Ukraine's once-in-a-generation opportunity for change has not yet resulted in the anti-corruption or rule of law reforms that Ukrainians expect or deserve."[29] On April 1, 2019 Yovanovitch spoke at an anti-corruption conference where she thanked Ukrainians for their courage and commitment to end corruption



drumpf, screwdy Rudy and Manafort were there to manipulate corruption for their own gains.

"Why don't you explain to me why Oleg Deripaska wanted polling data from Wisconsin and what he did with it?"

The New York Times cited “a person knowledgeable about the situation” asserting that Manafort had asked his deputy, Rick Gates, to “tell Mr. Kilimnik to pass the data to [Russian oligarch] Oleg P. Deripaska.” This was supposedly the Big Russian Connection. However, the Times has retracted this claim. This Big Russian Connection has become the big Russian correction.

The story now runs with this postscript: “A previous version of this article misidentified the people to whom Paul Manafort wanted a Russian associate to send polling data. Mr. Manafort wanted the data sent to two Ukrainian oligarchs, Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov, not Oleg V. Deripaska, a Russian oligarch close to the Kremlin.” Oops.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-times-issues-correction-to-bombshell-report-on-manafort-oleg-deripaska

While we’re on the subject of Oleg Deripaska, however, let us search the windmills of our mind to recall Deripaska’s busiest bee in Washington — i.e., Christopher Steele.

“Was Christopher Steele Disseminating Russian Disinformation to the State Department?”
