MEXICO TIGHTENS BORDER AFTER TRUMP PARDONS WHITE-COLLAR CRIMINALS

MEXICO CITY —The government of Mexico announced that it was tightening its border with the United States

“effective immediately” after Donald Trump (https://www.newyorker.com/tag/donald-trump) pardoned a host of white-collar criminals on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters, the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, said that

Mexican border agents were on alert to prevent any recipients of Trump’s pardons from crossing into their country.

“They’re bringing bribery,

they’re bringing tax evasion,

they’re bringing racketeering,”

Obrador said.

“I wish I could say that some of them were good people, but that does not appear to be the case.”

Obrador said that border agents had been given “special instructions” to block the entry of Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois, whom he called “El Blago.”

“If El Blago enters our country, he will head straight to Mexico City and start trying to sell Senate seats,” Obrador said.

“He is a dangerous man.”

Concluding his remarks, Obrador said that he had contacted Trump directly to warn him against sending the criminals to Mexico.

“I told him to find places for them in his Cabinet,” he said.

Before being sentenced, the judge reads Roger Stone the riot act: He ‘injected himself’

before being sentenced Thursday, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ripped stone to shreds for “indicting himself.”

Berman Jackson began by saying that Stone not only lied to Congress, he then threatened violence if others didn’t back up his story.

She then hammered Stone on the fact that he outright lied about his conversations with Wikileaks.

Any request for leniency from those Stone threatened may be “nice” but they don’t matter to the judge.

“I am not passing judgment on Roger Stone as a man; that falls to a higher authority,” she said.

She explained that she’s only passing judgment on Stone for the crimes for which he was found guilty.

It isn’t about Stone’s politics, she argued it was about Stone’s cover-up.

She further dispelled any myths that Stone was somehow the victim of a political conspiracy against him or the president.

“The truth still exists. :lot not for oligarchy/Repugs/right wing hate media

The truth still matters. :lot not for oligarchy/Repugs/right wing hate media

Roger Stone’s insistence that it doesn’t” poses

“a threat to our most fundamental institutions, :lot targeted for destruction by the oligarchy/Repugs

to the very foundation of our democracy,” :lot targeted for destruction by the oligarchy/Repugs

“The dismay and disgust at the defendant’s belligerence should transcend party,”

‘Bulletproof from a pardon’: Fox News analyst says judge in Stone case just made things tough for Trump

“[Jackson’s] trying to make this bulletproof from a pardon,” Napolitano said.

“Because she went along exactly with what [Barr] requested.”

“How could the government possibly object to this?” he continued.

( :lol insecure bully Trash objects any and all opposition. He will pardon Stone ASAP, everybody except Cohen. )

“She gave them exactly what they wanted,

and it’s half of the number that had outraged the President.”

Trump was ‘furious’ with his last acting intel chief for giving election security briefing to House Dems

Trump was “furious” at Maguire after learning that Shelby Pierson, the top intelligence official on election security, gave a briefing to the Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)-led House Intelligence Committee.

the president erroneously believed :lol

that she had given information exclusively to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the committee chairman, and it would be helpful to Democrats if released publicly,”

Trump gave Maguire a “dressing down” that left the former acting DNI “despondent.”

there is no truth to Trump’s suspicions :lol

about Pierson giving Schiff secret inside information.

“Members on both sides participated, including Ranking Member Nunes, and

heard the exact same briefing from experts across the Intelligence Community,”

the official said.

“No special or separate briefing was provided to one side or to any single member, including the chairman.”

Because Winester, she spent the preceding time this morning raking Stone over the coals, then matched the old man asshole-for-asshole by claiming that Stone was facilitating Trump's cover up,,,yep, see she, like the rest of your crew ain't no better than the President. She eased right on down into the pee-pee & caca with -45- after she swore up & down she'd never do it. Ha.

She's been touched now.

& the kicker? She folded & gave him 38 months instead of 9 years. Big shot.Sentencing is at the discretion of the judge.

Do you think it was fair?

Stone got exactly what Barr's handpicked prosecutor asked for. Who's to say that isn't roughly what he would have received anyway?

I have no problem with the sentence.

Again what enrages me no end is she could not resist busting Trump up by stating (cover up). She knew precisely what she was doing there. She gave in on the sentencing: 3 years Vs. 9 years but made sure she whacked Trump a good one. She's on the low road with the old man.

Pelosi is down on that same road now as well. None of ya's have stayed the course after swearing you'd never do what -45- does. Ha! He lured ya's in & ya's, in the bitter end gleefully succumbed. You've always wanted to be a wise ass like Trump ya's just didn't need to because you had the con & could Lord it over (us). Not with him in there though, throwing it in your faces day in---day out.

‘How’s Shep Smith Doing?’:

Trump Goes on Utterly Bonkers Riff About Fox News and Its ‘Loser Shows’


after a guest on the network noted his debate performances were received poorly by experts and the public.

Trump bemoaned the comments of RealClearPolitics columnist A.B. Stoddard —

who told Fox anchor Neil Cavuto that the president’s 2016 debate performances were “disastrous.”
“They had a crazy person on today, on one of the Fox shows,” Trump said.

“Fox doesn’t treat us the way they used to.”

shout out the members of the Fox lineup of whom he does approve, including;

Sean Hannity (“great”),

Brian Kilmeade (“gotten much better”), and

Lou Dobbs (also “great”).

he lamented, “in the old days, [Fox News] was better for us.”

his false claim that he was deemed to have won “every” debate during the 2016 election cycle.
One of the outlets he cited was Time magazine — which,

Trump noted, named teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as its 2019 Person of the Year.

The rally crowd booed the mention of the 17-year-old Thunberg.

So you label intelligence, deep state, if you don’t like the intelligence.

He did the same things before he was elected. I thought our form of government could actually help him govern. I was dead wrong.

That's my shit. That ain't your shit. That's my shit. They "bad people" figured::: "Trump can't lie, cheat and steal to keep his Presidency because he's President while we lie, cheat and steal him out of his Presidency."

Get your own shit.

You're echoing what you've heard time & again from MSM/Dems, peeg...the (king) nonsense.

When those other (2 branches) are crooked & attempting to overthrow your Presidency he had 2 choices: cut & run, or, arm himself & fight back. I'm glad he armed & is fighting hammer & tong. They wouldn't permit him to be President..."No, uh, uh, no way, he's going down. We ain't waiting 4 years. Nope."

So, it's a blood feud now & will be long after he leaves office whether it's next January, or 4 years from then. He & his kids + a robust portion of (the base) ain't gonna let this rest (afterward) if that's what you're thinking, peeg. No way.

"My party is very interested in deficits when there is a Democrat in the White House," he said.

"The worst thing in the whole world is deficits when Barack Obama was the president.

Then Donald Trump became president, and we're a lot less interested as a party."

Until it comes time to wield the deficit as a weapon to cut the safety net,

"We take the position in my party that asking people to change their lifestyle dramatically,

including by paying more taxes,

is simply not something we are interested in doing."

in a second Trump term the deficit is going be used

to cut Social Security, and Medicare, and

deepen the cuts to Medicaid.

It will be used to

continue decimating food and housing assistance and

every other program that helps everyone who doesn't count.

Trump’s new personnel chief orders ‘purge’ of all never-Trumpers from federal agencies

re-hired Johnny McEntee into a new role. His former body man, who reportedly (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/13/us/politics/trump-roger-stone.html)

“was forced from his job in 2018 over gambling debts that threatened his security clearance”

but went to work for the Trump re-election campaign, is now the head of the White House personnel office.

McEntee’s first order of business is targeting and purging “Never-Trumpers” (https://www.axios.com/scoop-white-house-personnel-chief-targets-never-trumpers-2ee51bfd-03f9-4971-8308-863c81ace5f0.html) –

any government employee not loyal to President Trump.

“McEntee called in White House liaisons from cabinet agencies for an introductory meeting Thursday, in which

he asked them to identify political appointees across the U.S. government who are believed to be anti-Trump,”

“McEntee suggested the most dramatic changes may have to wait until after the November election.”
“Trump has empowered McEntee — whom he considers an absolute loyalist — to purge the ‘bad people’ and ‘Deep State.'”

Their insistence on the administration making sure the 2020 elections are not interfered with by the Russians or any other country is a bipartisan issue which should be taken seriously using our intelligence apparatus. But since Trump only seems to trust his intelligence (Rudy report on Ukraine) and not intelligence that he does not like, Trump has every reason to not trust the Democrats from harping on the issue. Why?

Because it’s legitimate.

Look for Wallace to find his job with Fox become precarious.

in what universe does this NOT equal colluding with an enemy attacker?

please explain-

someone attacks the usa - and the evidence has concluded it - and a US president WELCOMES it




in WHICH UNIVERSE - does it allow YOU to STILL minimize the treasonous behavior - 3 FUCKING YEARS LATER


as the russians again are exposed to be REPEATING it


and trump is FIRING the intel officer who legally reported it to congress???


I dont understand your blindness- willful blindness,

Collusion requires that Trump and Russia cooperated and planned TOGETHER. By what I understand.

So who came up with the plan to begin with?
Which party first contacted the other party?
What was the plan and how did it evolve or change?
What States were specifically focused on?
Why did Minnesota go wrong?

There are so many questions that should have an answer if Trump and Russia colluded together on a plan to interfere... no its more than interfere, planned to win the election for Trump. Interference by the Russians makes the most sense because all it requires is to plant seeds of doubt and let them sprout. A plan to set a contentious division of beliefs against each other. And this interference has worked. Trump is perfectly in tune with this because it is exactly how he campaigns and runs a government.

We are coming closer to "I am the State, and the State is Me."

And its because a significant number of people in the US want a leader to tell them this.
We cant handle a leader who states a plan, explains what it is supposed to do, outlines possible shortcomings.
We want someone who says I am the way to this result.

Not, I will follow the rules of our government (because this is what CAN make us different from other countries) to produce these results by this method upon which our constitution is founded.

This entire presidency is one that plans to create contention and divisions that allow for distractions that allow the erosion of basic ethics imo. Basically to suit one man while others slip in their own goals during this distraction using the lack of candor and truth.

well

that's active collusion, such a Jr going to meet Russians for dirt, Flynn talking pre-inaugurations to Russians about Magnitsky sanctions, Jared giving Repug demographic data to Cambridge Anal

Passive collusion would be Trash and his mafiya learning about, INVITING Russian attacks on USA and not reporting that crime to FBI/NatSec.

Trash could clear it all up, but he knows transparency would be get him impeached, and maybe convicted.

Bernie Sanders’s definition of democratic socialism, explained

Four months into his second presidential campaign, Sanders took the stage at George Washington University to make his clearest case for democratic socialism (https://www.vox.com/2019/6/12/18663217/bernie-sanders-democratic-socialism-speech-transcript).

It was a case he made in 2015, too, at a speech down the road at Georgetown University, but it appears the moment has caught up to his argument.

"we must take up the unfinished business of the New Deal and carry it to completion. ...

We must recognize that in the 21st century, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, economic rights are human rights.

That is what I mean by democratic socialism.”

“[Authoritarian leaders] redirect popular anger about inequality and declining economic conditions into violent rage against minorities —

whether they are immigrants, racial minorities, religious minorities or the LGBT community,” Sanders said.

“And to suppress dissent, they are cracking down on democracy and human rights.”

, Sanders’s speech also invoked Franklin Delano Roosevelt (https://www.vox.com/2015/11/19/9762028/bernie-sanders-democratic-socialism).

He made the same call for an economic bill of rights:

for health care,

affordable housing,

racial equality,

a clean environment, and

a living wage.

Sanders may have a newfound status as a frontrunner, but

a democratic socialist in America still has to define their vision in terms that Americans can understand —

and can fit into a fiercely capitalistic society.

Bernie Sanders’s agenda has been normalized in Democratic politics

The rallying cries that distinguished him from Clinton in 2016 —

Medicare-for-all,
a $15 minimum wage,
campaign finance reform,
free college —

are no longer unique positions.

June 28,2016 - trump publicly states - "russia if you are listening - i hope you find the emails...."
June 28, 2016 - 5 hours AFTER trumps ask - Russian intelligence hacks the DNC server.

Collusion



Conspiracy to Defraud - is what you are equating to Collusion - it is not the same thing.

Mueller could not PROVE conspiracy - for a number of reasons - but suffice to say - that Muellers hands were tied.
Mueller was NOT allowed to charge/indict trump due to a DOJ MEMO - not a law, not the constitution - just a DOJ MEMO
and

because BARR is a trump stooge and Barr was Muellers boss.

Mueller could have proven crimes - had he been ALLOWED to pursue crimes and INDICT crimes but he was NOT allowed -

So he did the next best thing - he conducted an abbreviated investigation where he did not compel Trump, Trump Jr., Jared, Ivanka - or any other high level administration officials to testify under oath.

Mueller was limited to TWO narrow strips of allowable offenses to investigate - and anything else he might have stumbled on -
he was FORBIDDEN to investigate.

Mueller farmed out these 13 investigations to the FBI - and the FBI was supposed to follow up and report to Congress as per law - but those briefings and those investigations have been buried under Barrs corruption.


Mueller could have proven Conspiracy had he been ALLOWED to compel Trumps testimony and that of the others in trump team -


That first example above is COLLUSION

Meaning COOPERATION

Trump made the ASK

Russia completed the ASK five hours later - and it happened in front of your eyes and mine.



Indisputable.


That russkie chick lawyer that emailed trump jr:

russian: "I have dirt on hrc - the russian govt want to help yo daddy"

Trump jr : "l love it"

Meeting happened.

COLLUSION

Mueller - instead of doing his patriotic duty and compelling trump to testify - or at least make the request and let the courts decide if that DOJ /OLC memo was binding -


just took a pass and let the criminals off the hook because - BARR had the upper hand and was going to corrupt any legal proceeding -

or because Mueller was a coward.

Trump butchers language during massive India welcome rally — as crowd walks out on his speech

President Donald Trump butchered several Indian words during a speech on his first official visit to the country.

The U.S. president bungled his pronunciation of Ahmedabad, the city where he was speaking, and

the name of Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda.

Trump, who entered to the music of Elton John, also called the Vedas — ancient Hindu texts — the “Vestas.”

BBC’s Rajini Vaidyanathan reported that

crowds began leaving midway through Trump’s speech,

which came after Modi spoke.

Despite massive cuts, deficits flow through Trump's second term

President Trump's 2021 budget proposes $4.6 trillion in deficit reduction, but it would take 15 years to balance

The budget will project deficits until 2035 and rather than proposing a new round of tax cuts, it assumes the extension of Trump's 2017 tax bill through the next term.

On the 2016 campaign trail, Trump promised to eliminate the national debt in eight years (https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/275003-trump-i-will-eliminate-us-debt-in-8-years).

he's grown the debt by a trillion dollars each year he's been president.

Even using optimistic scenarios, Trump's 2021 budget projects annual deficits to continue well beyond a second Trump term in office.

The anti-Greta: A conservative think tank takes on the global phenomenon

How a group allied with the Trump administration is paying a German teen to question established climate science.

Naomi Seibt is a 19-year-old German who, like Greta, is blond, eloquent and European.

But Naomi

denounces “climate alarmism,”

calls climate consciousness “a despicably anti-human ideology,”

and has even deployed Greta’s now famous “How dare you?” line to take on the mainstream German media.

“She’s a fantastic voice for free markets and for climate realism,” said James Taylor, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center for Climate and Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/11/15/this-group-thinks-trump-hasnt-done-enough-to-unravel-environmental-rules-heres-its-wish-list/?tid=lk_inline_manual_4&itid=lk_inline_manual_4), :lol an influential libertarian think tank in suburban Chicago that has the ear of the Trump administration.

While the campaign “is not outright disinformation,” Brookie said in an email, it “does bear resemblance to a model we use called the

4d’s — :lol

dismiss the message,

distort the facts,

distract the audience, and

express dismay at the whole thing.”

“The tactic is intended to create an equivalency in spokespeople and message.

In this case, it is a

false equivalency

between a message based in climate science that went viral organically and

a message based in climate skepticism trying to catch up using paid promotion.”

Naomi echoes far-right skepticism about feminism and immigration.

she is not a member of AfD — she describes herself as libertarian — but acknowledges speaking at a recent AfD event.

An emeritus professor of physics at Princeton University, Happer has repeatedly argued that carbon emissions should be viewed as beneficial to society — not a pollutant that drives global warming. :lol

Why would an American think tank want to get involved in German politics?

Because it worries that Berlin’s strong stance on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions could be contagious,

“Worse, other nations — including the United States and European Union nations — are increasingly being influenced by unwise German policy.”

This Is How Kleptocracies Work

Trump’s pardons were shocking to some, but to me they were eerily familiar—straight out of the kleptocratic playbook I’ve studied in a dozen other countries.


A long, carefully designed, and meticulously executed investigation culminated in the arrest of a palace aide on charges of extorting a bribe.

But the man did not spend a single night in jail. Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a call; the aide was released; and the case was dropped.

Karzai later bragged about interfering (https://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/karzai-stands-firm-disbanding-private-security/story?id=11454715), in terms akin to the “horribles” and “unfairs” we now hear emanating from the White House.

He likened the operation to the way people under Soviet rule were wrenched from their homes.

Corruption, I realized with a start, is not simply a matter of individual greed.

It is more like a sophisticated operating system,

employed by networks whose objective is to maximize their members’ riches.

And a bargain holds that system together:

Money and favors flow upward (from aides to presidents, for instance) and downward in return.

Subordinates owe fealty to their network higher-ups, and a cut of whatever revenue streams they manage to access.

In Afghanistan and other notorious kleptocracies I’ve studied,

such cash transfers might include a percentage of extorted bribes, or kickbacks on contracts for development projects.

Many government jobs carry an explicit purchase price, payable in a lump sum or indefinite monthly installments.

examples of such an upward money flow include the use of Trump’s hotels and other facilities by government officials and their agencies, either on public business—

so as to siphon taxpayer money from the U.S. Treasury into Trump’s coffers—or on a personal basis.

Direct payments more typically take the form of

campaign contributions, as were reportedly made (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/family-texas-man-trump-pardoned-dished-donations-reelection/story?id=69070481) by at least one beneficiary of the recent presidential pardons.

subordinates may owe in-kind services. Or submission to egregious and humiliating loyalty tests (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ARgUIpM6f0),

In return for this torrent of cash and favors and subservience,

those at the top of kleptocratic networks owe something precious downwards.

They owe their subordinates impunity from legal repercussions.

That is the other half of the bargain, without which the whole system collapses.

That’s why moves like Trump’s have to be advertised.

he was broadcasting a message to his network: Don’t worry. I stand by the deal.

Even a cursory look at the list of Trump’s February 19 beneficiaries suggests that

his aim was not to right the wrong of prosecutorial overreach,

but to send a similar message to his network—

to reinforce and perhaps expand it.

Trump seems to have a thing for hiring NATSEC guys who carry water for strongmen like Orban and Erdogan.

Ric Genell is the new DNI.


An investigation by Responsible Statecraft has found that President Trump’s newly installed acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, knowingly provided public relations services directed at U.S. media on behalf of a project funded by Hungary’s far-right government. Grenell didn’t register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), which is a requirement applying to individuals and entities operating inside the U.S. as an “agent” of a “foreign principal.”https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/02/24/grenell-undisclosed-work-hungary-far-right-government/

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/shutterstock_1190031697-e1538485118196.jpg

President Donald Trump’s lengthy, disjointed rant about convicted rapist and former film mogul Harvey Weinstein was a sign of dementia.

talking about Weinstein, in which the president went off on tangents about his 2016 election win and Weinstein’s donations to prominent Democrats,

Alzheimer’s dementia destroy (sic) the life of Fred Trump, and dementia tends to run in families.”

many psychiatric professionals who have regularly sounded the alarm on Trump’s mental faculties.

“my professional opinion is that Donald J. Trump is impaired to the extent that

he is not mentally, emotionally, or cognitively fit to meet the demands of the Presidency;

and that he is unable to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution

as required by his Oath of Office.”

A VERITABLE revolt by Senators against Moscow Mitch and mentally fucked Trash

70 former senators says if Republicans are brave enough to stand up to Trump and McConnell — they’ll help save them

Former U.S. senators are begging Republicans to do their jobs and uphold the Constitution and

if doing so puts them in political danger,

the former senators said they’ll do whatever it takes to save them.
In a letter from 70 former senators in the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/former-us-senators-the-senate-is-failing-to-perform-its-constitutional-duties/2020/02/25/b9bdd22a-5743-11ea-9000-f3cffee23036_story.html),

they accused the (:lol REPUG) Senate of not fulfilling their duties.

They explained that the framers of the Constitution crafted Article I to give legislative powers for a reason.

Without use of those powers, lawmaking is handed to the less democratic judicial branch.
“We are writing to

encourage the creation of a bipartisan caucus of incumbent senators

who would be committed to making the Senate function as the Framers of the Constitution intended,”

blasted officials for ceding power to the president as well, citing war powers and regulation of international trade.

“Less noticed is that even after the Senate’s failure to convict the president,

the president has “power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States,

except in cases of impeachment.”

The Constitution’s framers added this caveat, writes Brettschneider, because

they did not want a president to have the power to pardon people

who helped him commit or get away with high crimes and misdemeanors.

“The clause

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read

Someone on Quora asked “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance,
he has no class,
no charm,
no coolness,
no credibility,
no compassion,
no wit,
no warmth,
no wisdom,
no subtlety,
no sensitivity,
no self-awareness,
no humility,
no honour and
no grace

– all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh.

And while Trump may be laughable,

he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever.

And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact.

He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is –

his idea of a joke is

a crass comment,
an illiterate insult,
a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll.

And like all trolls,

he is never funny and

he never laughs;

he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults –

he actually thinks in them.

His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath.

All our heroes are plucky underdogs:
Robin Hood,
Dick Whittington,
Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug.

A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies;

then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff –

the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all.

He punches downwards –

which a gentleman should, would, could never do –

and every blow he aims is below the belt.

He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and

he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he

says, and then think

‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’

is a matter of some confusion and

no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too;

his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss.

He turns being artless into an art form;

he is a Picasso of pettiness;

a Shakespeare of shit.

His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and

plenty of nasty people too.

But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided

to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:

‘My God… what… have… I… created?

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read

Someone on Quora asked “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance,
he has no class,
no charm,
no coolness,
no credibility,
no compassion,
no wit,
no warmth,
no wisdom,
no subtlety,
no sensitivity,
no self-awareness,
no humility,
no honour and
no grace

– all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh.

And while Trump may be laughable,

he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever.

And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact.

He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is –

his idea of a joke is

a crass comment,
an illiterate insult,
a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll.

And like all trolls,

he is never funny and

he never laughs;

he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults –

he actually thinks in them.

His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

Huge win for Trash and as always, a huge DEFEAT for America

Lawyers Say Don McGahn Ruling Is One Step Closer Towards American Monarchy

blockbuster federal court ruling released late Friday afternoon that shocked and appalled several legal experts.

ruled that former White House counsel

Don McGahn did not have to abide by a congressional subpoena

issued by the House Judiciary Committee during last year’s failed impeachment-and-removal effort.

he court’s opinion is that the question itself is simply non-justiciable.

Why?

Because it’s a dispute between two co-equal branches of government and

the judiciary, being the third equal branch, is not entitled or equipped to settle the situation here.
