    How the Deep State Ties Down Trump

    President Trump has had his foreign policy hands and feet tied by the Russia (and Iran) Sanctions Act.

    He now has been rendered “helpless”: in respect to détente with Russia —

    gulliverized, spitefully, by his own party,

    working with the Democrats, to empty Trump’s cons utional prerogatives in foreign policy – and to seize them for Congress.

    Trump has been “rolled” by his military minders (Generals James Mattis, H.R. McMaster and John Kelly) on his Afghan policy: he has relinquished civilian oversight of this military expedition in Afghanistan to McMaster and Mattis — the former being the presumed author of the “new” Afghan policy.

    The President was “rolled” on his foreign military prerogatives too – as Commander in Chief – by his triumvirate of military minders in the White House. The “civilian” leadership has given place to the “military.”

    “President Trump’s highest officials remain committed, one way or another, to defending the global order the U.S. has been building since the Truman era.

    That includes [Secretary of State RexTillerson, Mattis, Kelly and McMaster]:

    These men share a disdain for the Obama administration’s retrenchment and retreat. …

    They want to check the ambitions of America’s rivals, while restoring the foundations, both military and economic, of U.S. world power.”

    A Zombiefied Trump

    Here is the point:

    Will the political zombiefication of President Trump satisfy the two party Establishments?

    Are they mollified enough, to come together to agree on a budget and a new “clean” debt ceiling (the “ceiling” arrives on Sept. 29)?

    And, even if achieved, will so-called “normalization” of Trump policies really take the U.S. back to the nirvana of “how things used to be”?


    Ostensibly, “normalization” of Trump’s economic policy should be manageable:

    Ryan and McConnell would need only to line up a modest number of Democratic votes (together with Republican foot-soldiers), to enact a debt ceiling increase.

    But it may be more complicated – much more complicated than that:

    Should the Democrats cooperate (and they will want to appear that they are co-operating in order to avoid blame for any subsequent Federal shut-down),

    it will be only on the basis of “an onerous quid pro quo that requires Trump to give up the Mexican Wall; t

    ax cuts for the wealthy;

    his proposed deep domestic spending cuts, and

    also to fund the insurance company bailouts that are needed to forestall drastic premium increases and coverage cancellations during the 2018 insurance (and election) year.”

    Impeaching Trump is America’s favorite solution: poll

    43 percent said he should be impeached or otherwise removed from office,

    while 42 percent said nothing should be done and

    12 percent said he should be censured by Congress.

    Many Trump supporters and critics, however, have warned of dire consequences for the country should such an action occur.

    “Try to impeach him. Just try it. You will have a spasm of violence—an insurrection—in this country like you have never seen before.... Both sides are heavily armed, my friend,” Roger Stone,

    ( Stone just another huge, perverse, twisted dirty-trickster s bag piece of )

    , the Public Religion Research Ins ute said his odds of being kicked out grew to 40 percent this month,

    Irish bookmaker Paddy Power, placed the chances of Trump quitting before being removed at 60 percent and has collected the bets to back it up.

    they did back his efforts to stimulate job growth,

    improve the economy and

    fight terrorism.

    ‘They think they’re special’: Ex-friends and DC insiders trash Jared and Ivanka’s ‘essential irrelevance’

    One veteran Washington insider told the magazine that the president’s eldest daughter and son-in-law lacked the self-awareness to sit on the sidelines until they learned what they didn’t know about their new positions of power and influence.

    “What is off-putting about them is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance,” the Washington veteran said. “They think they are special.”


    The couple does enjoy some perks that come from their relationship as “first among equals” in the White House, according to the Washington veteran — although West Wing advisers reportedly mock Ivanka as “princess royal” behind her back.


    “Trump is emotionally dependent on his son-in-law and his daughter,” said the Washington veteran. “But they can’t do anything for him. All they can do is make him feel better about what his life has come to.”

    The couple has been surprised and disappointed by their reception in Washington,

    and have lost friends back in elite circles in New York City


    One former friend said Kushner has traded up to a higher-powered circle that included other administration officials, as well as Saudi royalty.


    “When they decide it’s more important to protect their own and their children’s reputations

    than it is to defend their indefensible father’s,

    that’s a sign the end is near,”

    Assuming the Mueller's has or will soon have the case(s) against Trash, will his kids hang around the WH for the excrutiating ordeal of Mueller bringing down Trash?

    Maybe Kushner will have to hang around as his financial dealings are probably caught up in Mueller's dragnet.

    Trump Just Humiliated Himself Over And Over Again In Front Of Finnish President


    During his opening remarks, Trump appeared to forget the name of his Finnish counterpart, referring to him only as “President” and accidentally revealed he doesn’t know that Finland is in the European Union.





    Dan Murphy
    @bungdan

    Trump's comments at the presser require one of two things to be true: He doesn't know Finland is in the EU or he knew and forgot.


    https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/902280249399853056



    He then proceeded to go out of his way to whitewash Russia’s history of aggression against the nation of Finland,

    announcing that Finland and Russia have “gotten along for a hundred years,”

    but somehow forgetting

    that Russia invaded Finland in 1939 and fought a vicious war that killed around 450,000 people.

    Slight problem with Trump saying Russia and Finland have gotten along for "a hundred years." That whole USSR invading Finland thing in 1939.

    First Photos Of Trump’s Oval Office Renovations Just Came Out And They’re Tacky As Heck

    Trump has brought the same kind of obnoxiously gaudy and aggressively opulent aesthetic that he decorated his Trump Tower penthouse in.

    @JenniferJJacobs

    Will be more eagles throughout Trump's West Wing, renovation team told press. Two gold eagles with uplifted wings in Roosevelt Room now.
    12:47 PM - Aug 23, 2017



    All gold everything, as the rappers would say. If you look closely, even the power outlets are being covered in gold

    The President’s fondness for tacky gold eagles speaks to his desire to emulate the fascist leaders of the past and how he sees his position not as the elected leader of a democratic society but as an authoritarian ruler.

    As Adam Khan notes, there was another anti-Semitic ethnonationalist leader with a fondness for gold eagles…

    She didn't go back in there. She was going to go in there with Hussein & her of a kid, & Bill. Probably take that back stabbing screwball Bush. Yes, big shot Hillary. On & on about woman's rights and how they should stand up to men and fight for there status and don't take a back seat to their husbands. And what was her's doin' the whole time in the WH? Gettin' his bell rung by a chubby Pollock.

    Bill Clinton treated his wife Hillary Clinton like a piece of . & Hillary Clinton took it because she wanted that limo service.

    She ain't on a shingle. Big shot. ha.
