POTUS just thanked Herr Bannon for helping him get elected by throwing Bannon under the bus. So much for loyalty. Stephen Bannon, President Trump’s chief strategist and the former chairman of Breitbart News, was taken off the National Securities Council principals committee. “Removed” is the exact description of his demise.
US Army Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster has won out over professional bull•••• artist, Steve Bannon which may be the ONLY good news produced so far by this tainted maladministration.
Jim/James - Apparently, knowledge of permafrost out-gassing and anthropogenic climate change is beyond your belief set? “Actually I dont believe that . . . . “ The Russians do.
The greed, ignorance and short-sighted views of arrogant leaders like Trump, Putin and their oil soaked, gas emitting minions, in essence, have declared a TERRORIST WAR against the air we breathe and the water we drink. A TERRORIST WAR being enabled by the PURE EVIL which has recently overtaken our once great country.
But it’s all OK because y’all can go to the wide-screen churches on Sunday, be forgiven and pretend a blonde, blue-eyed son-of-a-god, dead these 2,000 years is going to return and make white people rule the Earth.
travis - The electorate by and large made a hideous mistake not due to the Democratic candidate but due to corporate-owned and controlled media saturating the public with TRUMP! 24/7 which continues even louder today. Like the face of Big Brother speaking out of everyplace.
George- Thanks for that 6 month-old pre-election FAUXNews update.
Permit me to correct the last paragraph. The problem is: There is a full-blown extreme right-wing coup in progress, funded and controlled by the ruling class who can care less about representing the interests of the 99% except to exploit and diminish. As a Trump voter, you get it. Right?
By observing malPOTUS and his Cabinet, a mix of the super-wealthy and the mildly retarded, by their behavior, alone. It would appear they are systematically destroying in a very short period of time what it took a dozen or more generations, billions of good people over a span of 241 years to build. Almost as though the intent had the malice of a devious and powerful foreign power?
Make no mistake, taken altogether THIS IS A COUP, an obvious attack from within for those other than the people of our country.
Bannon-esque institutional vandalism is not leadership, it is simply destructive and stupid.
Another evil madman, former vice president Richard B. Cheney, speaking with forked tongue considers Russian tampering with our national election to be an “act of war” as a consequence of the “cyberattack on the United States”
Actually, a “cyberattack on the Democratic Party candidate” on behalf of a future unqualified President who can be manipulated.”
Agreeing with a Darth Cheney weasel-wording on that one single point, “act of war” surely is a symptom of Trump Fatigue?
The longer we wait to rid ourselves of Trump, his family and the hoard of grifters and wannabes who have attached themselves like Remora to the rapidly enlarging malPOTUS ego-mania, the more difficult and messy it will be. But the better for our country and the planet it will be.
The only clean way to perform a full “Trumpectomy” is a post-resignation grifter sweep, cancellation of Twitter accounts with prejudice followed by new and fair national elections, ASAP.
From Yemen to the Fertile Crescent this recent very pronounced spike in the death of brown-skinned Muslim innocents is merely another loathsome fulfilled campaign promise to his inbred WAL•MART trailer trash supporters.
Civilian deaths from US-led airstrikes hit record high under Donald Trump ... Thousands of Iraqis have been displaced from Mosul. More than 2,500 civilians have been killed by the US-led coalition, which has admitted to killing only roughly 220 civilians. This new maladministration LIES constantly, a FACT!
Professor Cole and with all due respect - The malevolent behavior of the current GOP is far more than a bank robbery, it is a full-blown slow-motion takeover of our country and everything associated on behalf of those few whose cynicism, h8 and avarice know no bounds.
The devious extreme right-wing conspiracy which has INFESTED the GOP h8s anyone who does not funnel them MONEY$ or passion. Driven by naked racism and false prophecy, the agents of the “filthy rich” are more dangerous and unAmerican than any al Qaeda group who brings down buildings, the current GOP in concert with an illegitimate maladministration are in the process of IMPLODING OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY from the inside.
Clearly describing these divisive acts against the people of our nation is vital and necessary but what to do about it is another issue altogether? The Romanov and Kennedy solutions must be ruled out, immediately. The resulting repression would incite and the order of succession is impossible.
The current GOP by way of wide screen churches, peer group pressures and workplace bullying are dominating the educationally impoverished regions of the electorate which are also heavily gerrymandered and voter suppressed. This devious extreme right-wing conspiracy has also been very effective at a national level by promoting voter apathy through media both corporate-owned and the FAUXNews opinion-disguised-as-fact orifice.
This GOP is now in the process of permitting a powerful foreign power to interfere with our national elections on their behalf which is tantamount to treason.
Surely, there are actual loyal American Republicans out there who love and value the future of their country and are becoming aware they are being dangerously misled? If they remain duped, our country is in great peril and perhaps doomed?
Why is it every single decision made by the extreme far right GOP Congress and this maladministration favor those who least need taxpayer dollar largess to the detriment of the poor, disabled and aging? Are all Republicans greedy, selfish, mean-spirited •••holes?
Hopefully, not. But unfortunately, without a great awakening among those who claim to be Republicans, the gobbling of all wealth and authority will continue hand-over-fist at a much accelerated rate.
Merely another campaign promise fulfilled. Besides, those innocents killed, maimed and hopelessly trapped are brown-skinned Muslims, malPOTUS favorite prey.
Please note that in the U.S. warming is occurring faster than the ROW. And selling the EPA to the fossil-fuel industry to become a public-private partnership won’t be the least bit helpful.
POTUS sold-out to the “vast right-wing conspiracy” to get elected. Vladimir Putin was permitted to interfere on his behalf, unscathed, during our national election. It’s a safe bet Donald J. Trump is already far too compromised to be loyal to his country.
Worthy of note: VPOTUS Mike Pence is a Seven Mountains Dominionist or a 7M, an authoritarian political movement hiding under a religious cloak.
Here is some 7M theocracy to consider. - “We must use the doctrine of ‘Religious liberty’ to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies liberty to the enemies of God.” – Gary Kilgore North, 1982.“
Currently, FBI Director James Comey is the tip of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” that is intent on thrusting our country back to 1946. Comey’s Hatch Act violating actions toward Hillary Clinton and in favor of Trump could not be any more obvious.
In providing cover on behalf of a foreign power for the already compromised Trump presidency, Comey keeps his job rather than being on the docket for high crimes.
Once the ROW discerns the new U.S. administration are merely rank amateurs fraught with personality disorders and insanity, they will become easy prey for wiser and more experienced leaderships as President Putin has already firmly established.
President Dirtbag makes our entire country look like a bunch of fools for electing this rude, unprincipled, inept orange-tinged clown to be our President.
Clearly, our new President is unable to shake hands with dignitaries, correctly. Time after time this egotistical mockery of a national leader has botched this most fundamental show of respect.
With Chancellor Merkel, President Maladroit outdid himself by not only avoiding her handshake but attempting to tie Chancellor Merkel into his appalling Obama “deep state” bull•••• lie.
But the super-rich 1% and the WAL•MART trailer trash racists still adore him because they NEVER accepted a black man as their President. Apparently, an orange fossil fuel tool is OK?
Hunter S. Thompson was utterly unable to conform which endowed him with the clear perspective of an actual contemporary visionary by way of his literary artform known as “Gonzo journalism.” A “Gonzoesque” description of the artform - Part fact, part implication and supposition mixed with cold humor but enough substance to be useful, sometimes prophetic. “Fear & Loathing in America” (ESPN.com, 2001) is an amazing example of his art.
Time for Joon Kim to get busy and leak like a sieve. Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s “Moments ago I was fired.” was for looking into payments POTUS has received from foreign governments (Russia, Ukraine) through his Manhattan-based business.
The Price STOCK Act of 2012 violations are secondary to Doctor Price’s more heinous tendencies. Quoting our new U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price - “At the risk of sounding insensitive, we’ve pretty much got two choices here: we either repeal Obamacare, or we take out more loans from countries like China. And nobody wants to be in debt to the Chinese. At the end of the day, it’s better for our national budget if cancer patients pass away more quickly, it’s a lousy way to live anyway, and I’m sorry to say it out loud, but it’s the truth.” The Republican choice to protect our health, a potential budget-driven mass-murderer.
In a country where the wealthy and privileged 1% either INHERITED their wealth or were fortunate in wealth producing activities, the adjusting of the economy from the top to openly disadvantage those far less fortunate based on age makes our United States of America seem to the ROW like stupid heartless bastards or worse.
How long will the “surge” in donations persist? Not long enough to replace federal funding. The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 114th Congress was 57.0 years; of Senators, 61.0 years. https://www.senate.gov/CRSpubs/c527ba93-dd4a-4ad6-b79d-b1c9865ca076.pdf - Page 2, Table 1.
Some businesses offer "senior discounts”. The age range for these discounts to be available varies between 55 and 65 years. The brutal fact the new maladministration and the 114th Congress have become openly and aggressively ageist, instigated by those who are “seniors” themselves will not be carried on FAUXNews or any propaganda butt-trumpet approved by Herr Bannon.
Judge Watson is now joined by Judge Theodore Chuang in the “unprecedented judicial overreach,” all part of the Obama-led “deep state” attack on the new administration cooking in Kellyanne Conway’s microwave oven.
If POTUS endeavors a full-scale war in the Pacific over dredged-up sand bars or some nasty fat fratricidal dictator. The 1943-equivalent level of funding is justified, otherwise not.
As ridicules as the departed-from-reality woman may seem, she is alluding to the MOST DANGEROUS CONSPIRACY THEORY popular in the White House, termed the “deep state,” an alleged shadowy network of powerful entrenched federal and military interests led by former President Obama, has increasingly become the focus of Republicans who accuse such forces of trying to undermine the new president.
super390 - what you are describing in the second paragraph is the Seven Mountains Mandate Dominionists. The seven mountain mandate aka the “seven mountain prophecy” is a faux-Christian political movement which has gained a following in the large screen Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. Those who follow the seven mountain mandate believe, in order for Christ to return to earth, the Dominionists must take complete control of the seven major spheres of influence in society for the glory of Christ. Once the world has been made subject to the kingdom of God, Jesus will return and rule the world. Dominionists are intent on controlling our:
1) Education
2) Religion
3) Family
4) Business
5) Government/Military
6) Arts/Entertainment
7) Media
How many maladministration and Cabinet members are part of the faux-Christian political movement? Start with Vice President Mike Pence and go from there.
Remind us – why are we backing the Saudi bombing of Yemen, a country now with 4 million acutely malnourished children and 18 million people needing food assistance?
When any single country becomes so out of control that the rest of the world becomes threatened by that behavior - history has recent record with Germany and Japan and their demise.
Here is our actual risk with a Trump/Bannon maladministration to all of US!
Brown-skinned people who are Muslim are POTUS favorite prey.
Why not escalate? Any place brown-skinned people who are Muslim can be killed and maimed with impunity in the world are now at much greater risk to be killed by remote control or blown to bits by a $250,000 artillery shell ordered by a 70 year-old wrestling match promoter and hotelier turned super-predator.
No surprise. Just another campaign promise being fulfilled.
Frank, great point about taxpayer subsidized coal-fired plants, the public unwittingly through subsidies and tax cuts paying more than their electricity bill to continue to keep them in operation. Another state regulator issue is who controls the transmission lines between solar and wind sources to the grid, this has already come into play in Texas with the Hunt family. http://www.huntpower.com/about.aspx http://www.dallasnews.com/business/business/2016/05/18/hunts-end-their-effort-to-buy-oncor-but-an-encore-is-possible
Many power sources in Texas are coal-fired. There are “ozone alerts” recommending citizens to breathe as little as possible until nightfall on many summer days. (In essence.)
Obviously, those who BOUGHT this election don’t care that politicians make a living mockery of their greedy causes. The willfully STUPID Scott Pruitt has turned being an EVIL IN-PUBLIC •••hat into a political career. Whoever influenced POTUS to pick this coal dust oil slick to destroy the EPA are trying to kill off our descendants by hydrocarbon abortion. Make no mistake these fossil fuel interests simply don’t give a flying f••k about anything but sucking every last trace of fossil fuel from the Earth for their greedy poisoning and war generating profits. Now, they boldly INFEST the Executive Branch.
Curse their off-spring to be indelibly marked for the greed and stupidity, a bevy of super-rich undersized TPH/PAH-ravaged children with ears growing from their shoulders might be fitting?
This morning Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said U.S. forces in Syria were "invaders" and he had yet to see "anything concrete" emerge from U.S. President Donald Trump's vow to prioritize the fight against Islamic State.
During June 2012, the 11th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, dropped a 155 mm round on insurgents at more than 22 miles out in Helmand province, marking the longest operational shot in history for the U.S. Marines. (These kids have mastered the software.)
This could end up being a “Trump’s Errand” worse than Yemen because of the potential for massive escalation should U.S. Marine losses occur.
Best guess is POTUS owes a favor to someone in the 155mm GPS-guided munition business which cost the Pentagon a little more than a quarter of a million$$$ per round. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M982_Excalibur
Quoting bobc “Trump opponents would be better off spending less energy on Russia, and more on saving healthcare, the environment, and immigrant families.” Maybe in the longer term? Right now Bad-POTUS is more vulnerable over Russian connections, the tax shelters and criminal tax evasion.
Congressperson Jason Chaffetz is little more than a camp-following wannabe bootlicker who exhibits the compassion of someone who likely tortured small animals and pets as a child. He has already wasted more of the peoples time and money doing the bidding of extremist LIARS and old hillbilly racist a••holes than his predecessor. Following in the slimy footsteps of somewhat obsessed Darryl Issa, Jason Chaffetz is not only obsessed with negative Republican Party bulls••t causes but he is mean-spirited. He is also willing to please anyone who makes $482,000 in gross income/year or more. Otherwise, not a rich Mormon in Utah who can get him money, you can hand-in that iPhone or die.
Why does Chaffetz behave in this obviously sold-out manner? He is only the 301st wealthiest lawmaker in Congress. There is a lot of catching up to do.
Ben Carson merely craves attention. Blatant attempts to re-write history is his method to spur the media into reporting his total BULLs••t. And they (the media) fell for it.
The comment was good and accurate until the third paragraph. Isn’t the But-but-but Clinton meme so over-stated as to be satirical? Very mediocre. Y’all better git, Rush gonna be on soon. And for those herpes, there are prescriptions.
Let’s not over-intellectualize President A••clown’s motives? The Obama LIE merely serves to distract Congress and empower his toadies within to focus investigations on something other than maladministration TREASON(s) with Russia.
A good comment, nevertheless. FAUXNews does his frameworks, btw.
POTUS gives one speech where he appeared to be properly medicated, almost rational.
CCM rushes to take the snapshot in time as a license to normalize the ordinarily bat•••t new CIC.
Too late, the Twitter-in-Chief has totally lost it one more time by trotting out his full-blown case of ODS (Obama Derangment Syndrome) by accusing President Obama of CRIMES against him! Without offering one shred of proof.
Will someone PLEASE hide the nuclear codes from President •••clown? He left for Mar-a-Lago in a rage over the Sessions recusal. POTUS was scheduled to have dinner on Saturday with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and other top officials, including Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, adviser Steve Bannon who will be running the projector for his Hitler speech movies and White House Counsel Don McGahn, the White House said. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-obama-idUSKBN16B0CC
How many pregnant Yemeni women and little children will be exterminated as a result of this dinner?
The clear and present threat to our country comes from within. Couple the very effective “dumbing-down of America” with a group of white U.S.-born who can influence and guide a totally incompetent new POTUS by preying on his psychopathy to bring down our 238 year-old republic for their personal benefit and self-righteousness.
The freshman POTUS blames the previous actual President and supporters for these attacks. Never mind the h8 was released like a pack of hounds by the pandering to bigotry during the never-ending Presidential campaign. The maladministration now sports the racist a•••ole Jeff Sessions as a payoff to the white inbred, FAS retards who bullied for Trump in the Red States last year.
More likely the dogwhistles constantly being emitted are responsible for this anti-Semitic stupidity. The drunken Neo-Nazi Steve Bannon induced ’America First' is a phrase first used and historically identified with the anti-Semitic, pro-fascist 'America First' movement of the 1930s. Ironic to see 45 condemn anti-Semitic and racist attacks as the introduction to his first speech to Congress. But he made them happen as sure as if he tipped those gravestones, himself.
The saddest episode in our once great history is the fact that White Americans are easily motivated by h8 and LIES! enough to allow this coup to get started in the first place.
Here is a thorough collection of the pure venom that oozed from Trump over the past decade or so and what made him so attractive to voters. http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com/#/
Perusing this archive will reveal what petty small-minded h8 looks like - Donald J. Trump, a DEFECTIVE President.
A reminder: How to balloon “the deficit” and topple the economy. Bush/ Cheney did it with tax cuts, deregulation and unending war especially a failed international conspiracy to secure Iraq’s oil, the distribution system and terminal assets plunging the entire region into continuous war and the ensuing continued killing of innocents.
So, how does this maladministration plan to “Make America Great, Again?”
• Tax cuts for the top.
• “Incentive tax cuts” in lieu of actual infrastructure improvements.
• Increased military spending including thermonuclear.
• Permit industry to re-pollute our air, rivers and streams.
• . . . ”unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth." Sounds expensive in tax dollars and in brown-skinned dead and maimed, mostly Muslim.
The amateur POTUS Cabinet snapshot depicts the most unqualified collection of billionaires, grifters, extreme right-wing zealots and maladroite ever assembled to lead in U.S. history. If the Bannon rule to eliminate our government is the ultimate goal? An appropriate wrecking crew has been assembled.
It may be too late to get unvarnished information from the maladministratiom and the complicit Congress, so any good investigative reporting will be prosecuted as criminal over “sources,” displaced-term verbage used to not violate the First Amendment.
Incidentally, the press freedoms extended by the Constitution cover the limits on Congress to make laws but says nothing about a maladministration moving against the press by other means.
FAUXNews is exceptionally bad and has been fooling viewers for years but now, with an amateur installed in the White House, the problem is becoming a more serious. New POTUS is a stooge of FAUXNews: it gives him what bull•••• he wants to hear - Case in point: Swedish terrorism reports. The Swedish Government has never heard of the FAUXNews “Swedish-defence-advisor” who provided the hysterical new President with his FAKE NEWS about Sweden.
During the embarrassing bat•••• crazy press conference on Feb. 16th the new POTUS deriding all reports on his aides’ ties to Russia as “a ruse” and “fake” while conceding that the cascade of leaks on the subject was real. He said he had fired his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, because “he didn’t tell his our vice-president properly” about his calls with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, but he insisted that there was nothing improper about making the calls.
Professor Cole - We are way beyond hypocrisy. All citizens especially Trump voters must be alerted to the full-blown COUP which is underway to COMPLETELY ERASE OUR GOVERNMENT except for POLICE and MILITARY and replace the United States of America with what a dangerous addicted subversive envisions to be the best methods to govern our lives, a CORPORATE-RUN POLICE STATE.
Trump voters! HE WILL TURN ON YOU! Case in point - Trump was carried into office by massive, unparalleled CORPORATE CONTROLLED MEDIA NEWS gratuitous coverage. Trump's now constant attacks on the press are designed to undermine the public's faith in our institutions in general and the media in particular and amounts to a complete BETRAYAL of that which got him elected.
University of Texas Chancellor William McRaven, the retired admiral who planned the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, said this week that Trump's attacks on the media are undermining democracy itself.
The new POTUS will be actively preying on his “stupids” to do his bidding via “dogwhistles” via FAUXNews and his “annointed” media, more and more.
Here is another example of how the maladministration attitudes both stated and implied are now effecting stupid rich children in Highland Park, TexASS. Emphasis on STUPID!
ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) can be cured by knowing actual history.
Islamophobia really got going with the Iran hostage situation of 1979-80, followed by the Kohbar Towers bombing in 1996 and finally 9/11 and the bogus war propaganda aftermath. Each event ramped up the h8, significantly.
POTUS obsession with nuclear weapons endangers the entire planet.
Now this - President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wants to ensure the U.S. nuclear arsenal is at the "top of the pack," saying the United States has fallen behind in its weapons capacity.
Apparently, no one has told the new President that cruising silently beneath the oceans there is sufficient nuclear firepower to kill every living thing on the surface of the planet, THRICE.
In an actual thermonuclear exchange there is no reloading possible.
A pair of memos from Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly will take time to implement because of costs (Congress must authorize.) and logistical challenges and that border patrol agents and immigration officers will use their expanded powers with care and discretion to make America white, again.
Which also includes hiring 10,000 new I.C.E. deportation police who will no doubt “use their expanded powers with care and discretion.” Exactly to what EXPANDED POWERS does Secretary Kelly refer in the new improved POTUS ethnic cleaning program?
Under new guidelines, millions of homeowners who use a “Mow Blow and Go” crew or had a roof replaced in 2016 are new FELONS and may be subject to civil and criminal penalties for hiring undocumented immigrant workers. Civil penalties range from a minimum of $375 per unauthorized worker for a first offense up to a maximum of $1,600 per worker for a third or subsequent offense. If you are found to have engaged in a “pattern and practice” of hiring undocumented workers, then you can be fined up to $3,000 per employee and/or imprisoned for up to six months.
To be more specific, Pence is a "Seven Mountains" Dominionist, a faux-Christian political movement which attracts those who want our country to be a theocracy with them in charge.
The coup continues, Team •••clown dominates CPAC, the schedule:
• Shovel-fight loser Kellyanne Conway (Thursday at 9:10 am ET)
• Eliminate Education Secretary Betsy DeVos (Thursday at 12:50 pm ET)
• Clinging Reince Priebus and drunken Steve Bannon (Thursday at 1:05 pm ET)
• Vice President and his holiness Mike Pence (Thursday at 7:30 pm ET)
• President Twitter-in-Chief (Friday at 10:20 am ET)
• Frequently incorrect former FAUXNews analyst KT McFarland (Friday at 7:30 pm ET)
• EPA Administrator and climate science denialist Scott Pruitt (Saturday at 1:50 pm ET)
The White House threw the country’s marijuana industry into a panic after announcing Thursday that to Make America Great, Again there would likely be “greater enforcement” of federal anti-cannabis laws under President Trump.
The maladministration appears inexorable on forcing marijuana back into the hands of violent criminals and cartels, wiping out tens of thousands taxpaying jobs and eliminating billions of dollars in taxes while minting MILLIONS of new criminals just in time for the private prison industry to flourish under new maladministration guidelines. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has rescinded the Obama administration directive to the Bureau of Prisons to either reduce or decline to renew private-prison contracts as they came due in such a way as to eliminate their use altogether.
There is a definite stupid stench in all of this and it is not the sickly-sweet smell of burning cannabis.
A favorite quote, very appropriate. - "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken
Despite statements by the security leadership of Sweden disputing his wild post-campaign bull•••• self-aggrandizing rants spewed in low-information regions of our country, the •••clown in Chief persists.
“Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2017
Maybe someone in the maladministration could read this to the INSANE ILLITERATE POTUS?
Any overly devout person, drooling racist or privileged xenophobe who can be motivated into acts of violence and destruction is a potential “terrorist” irrespective of skin shade.
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2017
What will tiny fingers do to protect us from the scourge of facts and reality.
Basically, a hysterical, unqualified new President is verbally calling out and tweeting against opponents up front and behind the scenes studying the best way to call out the National Guard.
Mr. Korol - Obama/Biden are not insane. The Harvard Medical School assistant clinical professor of psychiatry clearly knows the difference. What is so sinister about a retired Professor being active, politically?
POTUS has done one better than caving to both China and Russia in his first month of infesting our White House. He has now dropped to his knees in front of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Clearly, 45 has a roaring case of penis envy. He withers when confronted by actual alpha plus males.
The issue here is not Flynn so much as the hold Russia has on 45. POTUS let this slide for weeks until Bannon told him what to do. Pence was kept out of the loop until he read about it in the media. Flynn ”resigns” after colluding with Russia for being stupid in how he did it. Nothing new, Flynn is stupid. He believed in “Pizzagate” and promoted the heinous conspiracy theory, personally. Good riddance no matter the reasons.
Russia has now secretly deployed a cruise missile in violation of the arms control treaty that ended the Cold War. And currently, there is a Russian spy ship, the Viktor Leonov SSV-175 cruising 70 miles from the U.S.coast in violation to a 1987 Treaty. Four Russian military aircraft conducted low passes against a U.S. destroyer in the Black Sea last week. What keeps POTUS from telling his hero Putin to knock off the sausage party? A serious question.
Meanwhile in the Republican Congress - Any investigation of criminal Russian election influence is not useful because it might get in the way of repealing Obamacare! Is the marching order and the latest “shiny thing over there.” Never mind those POTUS tax records. Or protecting our country from the on-going coup by demented extremists.
So far, POTUS has withered in the face of Russia and China on important issues; with both Iran and North Korea launching ballistic missiles in open defiance.
What’s next on the POTUS “Wimp-out List” - Getting bullied into a war by the leader of a tiny little country with the population of less than Los Angeles County? With a blatant discrimination attempt purely on the basis of Palestinian national identity, novice Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley on behalf of the religious right delivered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a diplomatic fluff job just prior to the meeting with 45 at the White House this week.
What else will be offered up by a demonstratively wimpy, inexperienced POTUS to gain the leadership peer acceptance on his world reality show stage he craves? So far, all the Bannon$rump maladministration has gained is global eye-roll for our country by their amateur antics.
By 2020, the Bannon$rump maladministration will have created hundreds of thousands of new jobs cleaning up after all of the ”hot dilbit” pipeline ruptures.
45s glaring inexperience and ineptitude in dealing with other powerful foreign leaders and kowtowing to their wishes, e.g., the disgraceful permitting of Putin to tamper with our national elections and now, withering in front of President Xi Jinping over the “One China” policy does not build confidence for the new POTUS on the world stage. The recent Abe eye roll after the entrapment handshake sums it up, well.
The POTUS was bullied by Russia and China and he went flaccid.
“TRUMP SHOULD LEARN FROM OBAMA, NOT BUSH JR.”- the openly racist Republican Congress and the Bannon$rump maladministration are working to completely erase President Obama from history. Ignorant H8 and learning are not synonymous.
There are few things more unstable and dangerous than an old man who ignores their dependencies/addiction. Especially, when a chemically-altered knowing madman is in a position of power, trust and authority and an insecure, ego-maniac POTUS seeks his counsel.
“WHY no one addresses that this guy is obviously a total drunk . ?
45 senior adviser Kellyanne Conway has embarrassed the maladministration too many times. She will eventually be thrown-under-the-bus like Christie, Schwarzenegger and our Federal Court System.
45 tweeted, "Sen. McCain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Only emboldens the enemy! He's been losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in – bogged down in conflict all over the place. Our hero Ryan died on a winning mission (according to General Mattis), not a 'failure.' Time for the U.S. to get smart and start winning again!"
This is winning to 45. Of the nine young children who were slaughtered in the Jan. 29 strike in Al Bayda Governorate, obliterating 23 civilians, the youngest was three months old. Eight women were killed, including a woman who was full-term pregnant and horribly injured. Seven women and children were maimed in the raid. It is doubtful anyone sane would want this horror show the way to be remembered.
45 by attaching this mess to the late Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens, is disgracing the fallen Seal and his family but promoting himself on a pile of dead radical Islamist terrorist babies.
“Of the nine young children who died, the smallest was only three months old. Eight women were killed, including one who was heavily pregnant. Seven more women and children were injured.”
The maladministration's top spokesperson called a raid in Yemen a "huge success," and rebuked any criticism of the operation as a "disservice" to the fallen SEAL.
It is doubtful anyone would want this horror show the way to be remembered. Attaching this mess to the late Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens, is a disgrace to the fallen Seal and his family.
Please bear in mind Trump is in competition with Bush/Cheney for the highest brown-skinned body count. Look for bigger and bigger piles of smoldering brown babies in the future. Does the pregnant woman and her unborn child count as two?
To this maladministration “success” is the smell of burning radical Islamic terrorist babies in the morning breeze.
le Diablo - "And that’s just an appetizer. There’s Mexico to invade.” - True, Mexico has a lot of oil but the “appetizer” will be Venezuela and soon, to curry favor with Russia and China.
Venezuela's state-run, PDVSA, has fallen arrears on shipments of crude and fuel under oil-for-loan deals with China and Russia. 45 can invade and bring the account up to expectations for a % and in the subsequent occupation can add a few more notches on his tiny little gun handle.
POTUS just thanked Herr Bannon for helping him get elected by throwing Bannon under the bus. So much for loyalty. Stephen Bannon, President Trump’s chief strategist and the former chairman of Breitbart News, was taken off the National Securities Council principals committee. “Removed” is the exact description of his demise.

US Army Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster has won out over professional bull•••• artist, Steve Bannon which may be the ONLY good news produced so far by this tainted maladministration.

The greed, ignorance and short-sighted views of arrogant leaders like Trump, Putin and their oil soaked, gas emitting minions, in essence, have declared a TERRORIST WAR against the air we breathe and the water we drink. A TERRORIST WAR being enabled by the PURE EVIL which has recently overtaken our once great country.
But it’s all OK because y’all can go to the wide-screen churches on Sunday, be forgiven and pretend a blonde, blue-eyed son-of-a-god, dead these 2,000 years is going to return and make white people rule the Earth.
travis - The electorate by and large made a hideous mistake not due to the Democratic candidate but due to corporate-owned and controlled media saturating the public with TRUMP! 24/7 which continues even louder today. Like the face of Big Brother speaking out of everyplace.
John - “ . . . when he is ignored, he’s become irrelevant” Good luck with that thinking. Which is precisely what got him elected.
Attempting to be dismissive of Trump and his menagerie is “whistling past the graveyard.”
George- Thanks for that 6 month-old pre-election FAUXNews update.
Permit me to correct the last paragraph. The problem is: There is a full-blown extreme right-wing coup in progress, funded and controlled by the ruling class who can care less about representing the interests of the 99% except to exploit and diminish. As a Trump voter, you get it. Right?
By observing malPOTUS and his Cabinet, a mix of the super-wealthy and the mildly retarded, by their behavior, alone. It would appear they are systematically destroying in a very short period of time what it took a dozen or more generations, billions of good people over a span of 241 years to build. Almost as though the intent had the malice of a devious and powerful foreign power?
Make no mistake, taken altogether THIS IS A COUP, an obvious attack from within for those other than the people of our country.
Bannon-esque institutional vandalism is not leadership, it is simply destructive and stupid.
Another evil madman, former vice president Richard B. Cheney, speaking with forked tongue considers Russian tampering with our national election to be an “act of war” as a consequence of the “cyberattack on the United States”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/03/28/cheney-is-the-latest-republican-to-call-russias-alleged-meddling-in-u-s-elections-an-act-of-war/?utm_term=.07184f888ee0
Actually, a “cyberattack on the Democratic Party candidate” on behalf of a future unqualified President who can be manipulated.”
Agreeing with a Darth Cheney weasel-wording on that one single point, “act of war” surely is a symptom of Trump Fatigue?
The longer we wait to rid ourselves of Trump, his family and the hoard of grifters and wannabes who have attached themselves like Remora to the rapidly enlarging malPOTUS ego-mania, the more difficult and messy it will be. But the better for our country and the planet it will be.
The only clean way to perform a full “Trumpectomy” is a post-resignation grifter sweep, cancellation of Twitter accounts with prejudice followed by new and fair national elections, ASAP.
From Yemen to the Fertile Crescent this recent very pronounced spike in the death of brown-skinned Muslim innocents is merely another loathsome fulfilled campaign promise to his inbred WAL•MART trailer trash supporters.
Civilian deaths from US-led airstrikes hit record high under Donald Trump ... Thousands of Iraqis have been displaced from Mosul. More than 2,500 civilians have been killed by the US-led coalition, which has admitted to killing only roughly 220 civilians. This new maladministration LIES constantly, a FACT!

Yeah, what you wrote and he is black.
Got it.
Professor Cole and with all due respect - The malevolent behavior of the current GOP is far more than a bank robbery, it is a full-blown slow-motion takeover of our country and everything associated on behalf of those few whose cynicism, h8 and avarice know no bounds.
The devious extreme right-wing conspiracy which has INFESTED the GOP h8s anyone who does not funnel them MONEY$ or passion. Driven by naked racism and false prophecy, the agents of the “filthy rich” are more dangerous and unAmerican than any al Qaeda group who brings down buildings, the current GOP in concert with an illegitimate maladministration are in the process of IMPLODING OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY from the inside.
Clearly describing these divisive acts against the people of our nation is vital and necessary but what to do about it is another issue altogether? The Romanov and Kennedy solutions must be ruled out, immediately. The resulting repression would incite and the order of succession is impossible.
The current GOP by way of wide screen churches, peer group pressures and workplace bullying are dominating the educationally impoverished regions of the electorate which are also heavily gerrymandered and voter suppressed. This devious extreme right-wing conspiracy has also been very effective at a national level by promoting voter apathy through media both corporate-owned and the FAUXNews opinion-disguised-as-fact orifice.
This GOP is now in the process of permitting a powerful foreign power to interfere with our national elections on their behalf which is tantamount to treason.
Surely, there are actual loyal American Republicans out there who love and value the future of their country and are becoming aware they are being dangerously misled? If they remain duped, our country is in great peril and perhaps doomed?
Why is it every single decision made by the extreme far right GOP Congress and this maladministration favor those who least need taxpayer dollar largess to the detriment of the poor, disabled and aging? Are all Republicans greedy, selfish, mean-spirited •••holes?
Hopefully, not. But unfortunately, without a great awakening among those who claim to be Republicans, the gobbling of all wealth and authority will continue hand-over-fist at a much accelerated rate.
Merely another campaign promise fulfilled. Besides, those innocents killed, maimed and hopelessly trapped are brown-skinned Muslims, malPOTUS favorite prey.

With malPOTUS it’s all about winning, never mind destroying a few countries in the process.
What law places a load of meat over the life of a human being? Judge Neil Gorsuch is not only BIASED but he is cruel. UNFIT to serve.
What is so unusual about this?
Mr. Alphonse Maddin is a black man vs. a Corporation.
Interesting and worthy of note regarding Anthropogenic Climate Change - Solar output is currently in a state of decline, the weakest in a century.
http://www.space.com/23934-weak-solar-cycle-space-weather.html
Yet, Earth temperatures continue to rise faster than at any time in history.
https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-us-and-global-temperature
Please note that in the U.S. warming is occurring faster than the ROW. And selling the EPA to the fossil-fuel industry to become a public-private partnership won’t be the least bit helpful.
POTUS sold-out to the “vast right-wing conspiracy” to get elected. Vladimir Putin was permitted to interfere on his behalf, unscathed, during our national election. It’s a safe bet Donald J. Trump is already far too compromised to be loyal to his country.
Worse. This threat is here, now and a heartbeat away from being the POTUS.
Worthy of note: VPOTUS Mike Pence is a Seven Mountains Dominionist or a 7M, an authoritarian political movement hiding under a religious cloak.
Here is some 7M theocracy to consider. - “We must use the doctrine of ‘Religious liberty’ to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies liberty to the enemies of God.” – Gary Kilgore North, 1982.“
Currently, FBI Director James Comey is the tip of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” that is intent on thrusting our country back to 1946. Comey’s Hatch Act violating actions toward Hillary Clinton and in favor of Trump could not be any more obvious.
In providing cover on behalf of a foreign power for the already compromised Trump presidency, Comey keeps his job rather than being on the docket for high crimes.
And we haven’t seen anything, yet.
Once the ROW discerns the new U.S. administration are merely rank amateurs fraught with personality disorders and insanity, they will become easy prey for wiser and more experienced leaderships as President Putin has already firmly established.
Where are your facts? Can you refute any of this with some facts? Please.
President Dirtbag makes our entire country look like a bunch of fools for electing this rude, unprincipled, inept orange-tinged clown to be our President.
Clearly, our new President is unable to shake hands with dignitaries, correctly. Time after time this egotistical mockery of a national leader has botched this most fundamental show of respect.
With Chancellor Merkel, President Maladroit outdid himself by not only avoiding her handshake but attempting to tie Chancellor Merkel into his appalling Obama “deep state” bull•••• lie.
But the super-rich 1% and the WAL•MART trailer trash racists still adore him because they NEVER accepted a black man as their President. Apparently, an orange fossil fuel tool is OK?
Hunter S. Thompson was utterly unable to conform which endowed him with the clear perspective of an actual contemporary visionary by way of his literary artform known as “Gonzo journalism.” A “Gonzoesque” description of the artform - Part fact, part implication and supposition mixed with cold humor but enough substance to be useful, sometimes prophetic. “Fear & Loathing in America” (ESPN.com, 2001) is an amazing example of his art.
http://www.openculture.com/2013/12/read-10-free-articles-by-hunter-s-thompson.html
With his passing, he instructed that his ashes be formed into aerial fireworks to be fired from a cannon to celebrate his life. Boom.

Time for Joon Kim to get busy and leak like a sieve. Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s “Moments ago I was fired.” was for looking into payments POTUS has received from foreign governments (Russia, Ukraine) through his Manhattan-based business.
The Price STOCK Act of 2012 violations are secondary to Doctor Price’s more heinous tendencies. Quoting our new U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price - “At the risk of sounding insensitive, we’ve pretty much got two choices here: we either repeal Obamacare, or we take out more loans from countries like China. And nobody wants to be in debt to the Chinese. At the end of the day, it’s better for our national budget if cancer patients pass away more quickly, it’s a lousy way to live anyway, and I’m sorry to say it out loud, but it’s the truth.” The Republican choice to protect our health, a potential budget-driven mass-murderer.
In a country where the wealthy and privileged 1% either INHERITED their wealth or were fortunate in wealth producing activities, the adjusting of the economy from the top to openly disadvantage those far less fortunate based on age makes our United States of America seem to the ROW like stupid heartless bastards or worse.
How long will the “surge” in donations persist? Not long enough to replace federal funding. The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 114th Congress was 57.0 years; of Senators, 61.0 years. https://www.senate.gov/CRSpubs/c527ba93-dd4a-4ad6-b79d-b1c9865ca076.pdf - Page 2, Table 1.
Some businesses offer "senior discounts”. The age range for these discounts to be available varies between 55 and 65 years. The brutal fact the new maladministration and the 114th Congress have become openly and aggressively ageist, instigated by those who are “seniors” themselves will not be carried on FAUXNews or any propaganda butt-trumpet approved by Herr Bannon.
Judge Watson is now joined by Judge Theodore Chuang in the “unprecedented judicial overreach,” all part of the Obama-led “deep state” attack on the new administration cooking in Kellyanne Conway’s microwave oven.

"New Scientific Evidence that Middle East may become Uninhabitable" especially if the new POTUS can try out his new nuclear toys on the IS.
As ridicules as the departed-from-reality woman may seem, she is alluding to the MOST DANGEROUS CONSPIRACY THEORY popular in the White House, termed the “deep state,” an alleged shadowy network of powerful entrenched federal and military interests led by former President Obama, has increasingly become the focus of Republicans who accuse such forces of trying to undermine the new president.

The maladministration now needs more time to “Trump up” evidence.
super390 - what you are describing in the second paragraph is the Seven Mountains Mandate Dominionists. The seven mountain mandate aka the “seven mountain prophecy” is a faux-Christian political movement which has gained a following in the large screen Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. Those who follow the seven mountain mandate believe, in order for Christ to return to earth, the Dominionists must take complete control of the seven major spheres of influence in society for the glory of Christ. Once the world has been made subject to the kingdom of God, Jesus will return and rule the world. Dominionists are intent on controlling our:
1) Education
2) Religion
3) Family
4) Business
5) Government/Military
6) Arts/Entertainment
7) Media
How many maladministration and Cabinet members are part of the faux-Christian political movement? Start with Vice President Mike Pence and go from there.
Congressperson Steve King is merely reflecting the heartfelt attitudes of his constituency.
Remind us – why are we backing the Saudi bombing of Yemen, a country now with 4 million acutely malnourished children and 18 million people needing food assistance?
Answer: Brown people who are Muslims can be killed by proxy with impunity. This escalation in Yemen is the new super-predator POTUS at work. http://www.defenseone.com/news/2017/03/the-d-brief-march-03-2017/135869/
When any single country becomes so out of control that the rest of the world becomes threatened by that behavior - history has recent record with Germany and Japan and their demise.
Here is our actual risk with a Trump/Bannon maladministration to all of US!
POTUS is doing exactly what he told his 1% wealthy and WAL*MART trailer trash supporters he would do.
Brown-skinned people who are Muslim are POTUS favorite prey.
Why not escalate? Any place brown-skinned people who are Muslim can be killed and maimed with impunity in the world are now at much greater risk to be killed by remote control or blown to bits by a $250,000 artillery shell ordered by a 70 year-old wrestling match promoter and hotelier turned super-predator.
No surprise. Just another campaign promise being fulfilled.
Frank, great point about taxpayer subsidized coal-fired plants, the public unwittingly through subsidies and tax cuts paying more than their electricity bill to continue to keep them in operation. Another state regulator issue is who controls the transmission lines between solar and wind sources to the grid, this has already come into play in Texas with the Hunt family. http://www.huntpower.com/about.aspx
http://www.dallasnews.com/business/business/2016/05/18/hunts-end-their-effort-to-buy-oncor-but-an-encore-is-possible
Many power sources in Texas are coal-fired. There are “ozone alerts” recommending citizens to breathe as little as possible until nightfall on many summer days. (In essence.)

Obviously, those who BOUGHT this election don’t care that politicians make a living mockery of their greedy causes. The willfully STUPID Scott Pruitt has turned being an EVIL IN-PUBLIC •••hat into a political career. Whoever influenced POTUS to pick this coal dust oil slick to destroy the EPA are trying to kill off our descendants by hydrocarbon abortion. Make no mistake these fossil fuel interests simply don’t give a flying f••k about anything but sucking every last trace of fossil fuel from the Earth for their greedy poisoning and war generating profits. Now, they boldly INFEST the Executive Branch.
Curse their off-spring to be indelibly marked for the greed and stupidity, a bevy of super-rich undersized TPH/PAH-ravaged children with ears growing from their shoulders might be fitting?

This morning Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said U.S. forces in Syria were "invaders" and he had yet to see "anything concrete" emerge from U.S. President Donald Trump's vow to prioritize the fight against Islamic State.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-assad-idUSKBN16I0AU
How will the Twitter-in-Chief respond to al-Assad calling 45 on his bull•••t?
What is of serious concern is POTUS has put one of our prize on-the-ground military assets unnecessarily in harm’s way to FULFILL A CAMPAIGN PROMISE. https://news.usni.org/2017/03/09/report-marines-11th-meu-join-ground-fight-syria
During June 2012, the 11th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, dropped a 155 mm round on insurgents at more than 22 miles out in Helmand province, marking the longest operational shot in history for the U.S. Marines. (These kids have mastered the software.)
This could end up being a “Trump’s Errand” worse than Yemen because of the potential for massive escalation should U.S. Marine losses occur.
Best guess is POTUS owes a favor to someone in the 155mm GPS-guided munition business which cost the Pentagon a little more than a quarter of a million$$$ per round. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M982_Excalibur
Quoting bobc “Trump opponents would be better off spending less energy on Russia, and more on saving healthcare, the environment, and immigrant families.” Maybe in the longer term? Right now Bad-POTUS is more vulnerable over Russian connections, the tax shelters and criminal tax evasion.
Nope. The 1% wealthy and the duped WAL•MART trailer-trash just love him.
I blame the contractors who provide these tools and sell OUR PRIVACY FOR THEIR PROFIT.
Congressperson Jason Chaffetz is little more than a camp-following wannabe bootlicker who exhibits the compassion of someone who likely tortured small animals and pets as a child. He has already wasted more of the peoples time and money doing the bidding of extremist LIARS and old hillbilly racist a••holes than his predecessor. Following in the slimy footsteps of somewhat obsessed Darryl Issa, Jason Chaffetz is not only obsessed with negative Republican Party bulls••t causes but he is mean-spirited. He is also willing to please anyone who makes $482,000 in gross income/year or more. Otherwise, not a rich Mormon in Utah who can get him money, you can hand-in that iPhone or die.
Why does Chaffetz behave in this obviously sold-out manner? He is only the 301st wealthiest lawmaker in Congress. There is a lot of catching up to do.
Ben Carson merely craves attention. Blatant attempts to re-write history is his method to spur the media into reporting his total BULLs••t. And they (the media) fell for it.
Nothing to know here, folks, move along.
The comment was good and accurate until the third paragraph. Isn’t the But-but-but Clinton meme so over-stated as to be satirical? Very mediocre. Y’all better git, Rush gonna be on soon. And for those herpes, there are prescriptions.
Let’s not over-intellectualize President A••clown’s motives? The Obama LIE merely serves to distract Congress and empower his toadies within to focus investigations on something other than maladministration TREASON(s) with Russia.
A good comment, nevertheless. FAUXNews does his frameworks, btw.
POTUS gives one speech where he appeared to be properly medicated, almost rational.
CCM rushes to take the snapshot in time as a license to normalize the ordinarily bat•••t new CIC.
Too late, the Twitter-in-Chief has totally lost it one more time by trotting out his full-blown case of ODS (Obama Derangment Syndrome) by accusing President Obama of CRIMES against him! Without offering one shred of proof.
Will someone PLEASE hide the nuclear codes from President •••clown? He left for Mar-a-Lago in a rage over the Sessions recusal. POTUS was scheduled to have dinner on Saturday with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and other top officials, including Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, adviser Steve Bannon who will be running the projector for his Hitler speech movies and White House Counsel Don McGahn, the White House said. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-obama-idUSKBN16B0CC
How many pregnant Yemeni women and little children will be exterminated as a result of this dinner?
The clear and present threat to our country comes from within. Couple the very effective “dumbing-down of America” with a group of white U.S.-born who can influence and guide a totally incompetent new POTUS by preying on his psychopathy to bring down our 238 year-old republic for their personal benefit and self-righteousness.
Under Trump any minority or skin color other than white is fair game for his minions.
The freshman POTUS blames the previous actual President and supporters for these attacks. Never mind the h8 was released like a pack of hounds by the pandering to bigotry during the never-ending Presidential campaign. The maladministration now sports the racist a•••ole Jeff Sessions as a payoff to the white inbred, FAS retards who bullied for Trump in the Red States last year.
More likely the dogwhistles constantly being emitted are responsible for this anti-Semitic stupidity. The drunken Neo-Nazi Steve Bannon induced ’America First' is a phrase first used and historically identified with the anti-Semitic, pro-fascist 'America First' movement of the 1930s. Ironic to see 45 condemn anti-Semitic and racist attacks as the introduction to his first speech to Congress. But he made them happen as sure as if he tipped those gravestones, himself.
The saddest episode in our once great history is the fact that White Americans are easily motivated by h8 and LIES! enough to allow this coup to get started in the first place.
Here is a thorough collection of the pure venom that oozed from Trump over the past decade or so and what made him so attractive to voters. http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com/#/
Perusing this archive will reveal what petty small-minded h8 looks like - Donald J. Trump, a DEFECTIVE President.
A reminder: How to balloon “the deficit” and topple the economy. Bush/ Cheney did it with tax cuts, deregulation and unending war especially a failed international conspiracy to secure Iraq’s oil, the distribution system and terminal assets plunging the entire region into continuous war and the ensuing continued killing of innocents.
So, how does this maladministration plan to “Make America Great, Again?”
• Tax cuts for the top.
• “Incentive tax cuts” in lieu of actual infrastructure improvements.
• Increased military spending including thermonuclear.
• Permit industry to re-pollute our air, rivers and streams.
• . . . ”unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth." Sounds expensive in tax dollars and in brown-skinned dead and maimed, mostly Muslim.
The Coup and Purge are just getting started here in the U.S.
The amateur POTUS Cabinet snapshot depicts the most unqualified collection of billionaires, grifters, extreme right-wing zealots and maladroite ever assembled to lead in U.S. history. If the Bannon rule to eliminate our government is the ultimate goal? An appropriate wrecking crew has been assembled.
Read and weep for our once great country. http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/trump-cabinet
It may be too late to get unvarnished information from the maladministratiom and the complicit Congress, so any good investigative reporting will be prosecuted as criminal over “sources,” displaced-term verbage used to not violate the First Amendment.
Incidentally, the press freedoms extended by the Constitution cover the limits on Congress to make laws but says nothing about a maladministration moving against the press by other means.
FAUXNews is exceptionally bad and has been fooling viewers for years but now, with an amateur installed in the White House, the problem is becoming a more serious. New POTUS is a stooge of FAUXNews: it gives him what bull•••• he wants to hear - Case in point: Swedish terrorism reports. The Swedish Government has never heard of the FAUXNews “Swedish-defence-advisor” who provided the hysterical new President with his FAKE NEWS about Sweden.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/26/fox-news-nils-bildt-swedish-defence-advisor-unknown-to-countrys-military-officials

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/russia-intelligence-communications-trump.html?_r=0
During the embarrassing bat•••• crazy press conference on Feb. 16th the new POTUS deriding all reports on his aides’ ties to Russia as “a ruse” and “fake” while conceding that the cascade of leaks on the subject was real. He said he had fired his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, because “he didn’t tell his our vice-president properly” about his calls with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, but he insisted that there was nothing improper about making the calls.

Professor Cole - We are way beyond hypocrisy. All citizens especially Trump voters must be alerted to the full-blown COUP which is underway to COMPLETELY ERASE OUR GOVERNMENT except for POLICE and MILITARY and replace the United States of America with what a dangerous addicted subversive envisions to be the best methods to govern our lives, a CORPORATE-RUN POLICE STATE.
Trump voters! HE WILL TURN ON YOU! Case in point - Trump was carried into office by massive, unparalleled CORPORATE CONTROLLED MEDIA NEWS gratuitous coverage. Trump's now constant attacks on the press are designed to undermine the public's faith in our institutions in general and the media in particular and amounts to a complete BETRAYAL of that which got him elected.
University of Texas Chancellor William McRaven, the retired admiral who planned the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, said this week that Trump's attacks on the media are undermining democracy itself.

ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) can be cured by knowing actual history.
Islamophobia really got going with the Iran hostage situation of 1979-80, followed by the Kohbar Towers bombing in 1996 and finally 9/11 and the bogus war propaganda aftermath. Each event ramped up the h8, significantly.
None of which occurred under Obama.

What could possibly go wrong?
POTUS obsession with nuclear weapons endangers the entire planet.
Now this - President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wants to ensure the U.S. nuclear arsenal is at the "top of the pack," saying the United States has fallen behind in its weapons capacity.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-exclusive-idUSKBN1622IF?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtopNews+%28News+%2F+US+%2F+Top+News%29
Apparently, no one has told the new President that cruising silently beneath the oceans there is sufficient nuclear firepower to kill every living thing on the surface of the planet, THRICE.
In an actual thermonuclear exchange there is no reloading possible.
Endanger is an understatement.
A pair of memos from Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly will take time to implement because of costs (Congress must authorize.) and logistical challenges and that border patrol agents and immigration officers will use their expanded powers with care and discretion to make America white, again.

Which also includes hiring 10,000 new I.C.E. deportation police who will no doubt “use their expanded powers with care and discretion.” Exactly to what EXPANDED POWERS does Secretary Kelly refer in the new improved POTUS ethnic cleaning program?

President Obama did not go after those who hire undocumented workers.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/16/obama-amnesty-extends-businesses-hire-illegals/
Under new guidelines, millions of homeowners who use a “Mow Blow and Go” crew or had a roof replaced in 2016 are new FELONS and may be subject to civil and criminal penalties for hiring undocumented immigrant workers. Civil penalties range from a minimum of $375 per unauthorized worker for a first offense up to a maximum of $1,600 per worker for a third or subsequent offense. If you are found to have engaged in a “pattern and practice” of hiring undocumented workers, then you can be fined up to $3,000 per employee and/or imprisoned for up to six months.

To be more specific, Pence is a "Seven Mountains" Dominionist, a faux-Christian political movement which attracts those who want our country to be a theocracy with them in charge.
FAUXNews is currently blowing U.S. inspired minor incidents of vandalism in Sweden far out of proportion.

"Dropping" Milo from 10,000 feet would have been much more appropriate.
File this under "privatization.”
The White House threw the country’s marijuana industry into a panic after announcing Thursday that to Make America Great, Again there would likely be “greater enforcement” of federal anti-cannabis laws under President Trump.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/02/23/cannabis-industry-roiled-white-house-comments-enforcement/98323774/
The maladministration appears inexorable on forcing marijuana back into the hands of violent criminals and cartels, wiping out tens of thousands taxpaying jobs and eliminating billions of dollars in taxes while minting MILLIONS of new criminals just in time for the private prison industry to flourish under new maladministration guidelines. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has rescinded the Obama administration directive to the Bureau of Prisons to either reduce or decline to renew private-prison contracts as they came due in such a way as to eliminate their use altogether.
There is a definite stupid stench in all of this and it is not the sickly-sweet smell of burning cannabis.
Look at this video? And easy to find.

A favorite quote, very appropriate. - "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken

"your implied denigration of people who shop at WalMart and mega-churchgoers is bigoted and offensive." Not implied and statistically very correct.
Care to refute?
Here is a great bumper-sticker based on your satire.
Sweden + Blowing Green = Never Forget
It would sell like crazy at WAL•MART and in wide-screen church parking lots.
Despite statements by the security leadership of Sweden disputing his wild post-campaign bull•••• self-aggrandizing rants spewed in low-information regions of our country, the •••clown in Chief persists.
“Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!”

Maybe someone in the maladministration could read this to the INSANE ILLITERATE POTUS?

Does hyper-partisan behavior enabling a TRAITOR disturb anyone else?
Hammer on your Congressperson for real action! Never mind being put on someone’s “enemies” list.
Last time I checked this wasn't Russia.
Mop your drool.
Any overly devout person, drooling racist or privileged xenophobe who can be motivated into acts of violence and destruction is a potential “terrorist” irrespective of skin shade.
Your basic armed-to-the-teeth Trump supporter.

Pruitt has done NOTHING to protect Oklahoma citizens and property from forced fossil-fuel extraction greed and corruption.
Now, Scott Pruitt will be allowed to unleash pure poison into our atmosphere and water on behalf of those he slavishly serves. This man is truly dangerous in his loyalties and IGNORANCE.

The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

What will tiny fingers do to protect us from the scourge of facts and reality.
Basically, a hysterical, unqualified new President is verbally calling out and tweeting against opponents up front and behind the scenes studying the best way to call out the National Guard.
What could possibly go wrong?
The Comey FBI let all this crap slide until AFTER the election while crawling up email servers and investigating Pizzerias was the top priority.
Mr. Korol - Obama/Biden are not insane. The Harvard Medical School assistant clinical professor of psychiatry clearly knows the difference. What is so sinister about a retired Professor being active, politically?
Better than a double-wide chock full of Red Hats?
With a bats••t crazy POTUS what could possibly go wrong?
POTUS has done one better than caving to both China and Russia in his first month of infesting our White House. He has now dropped to his knees in front of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Clearly, 45 has a roaring case of penis envy. He withers when confronted by actual alpha plus males.
This present conspiracy is a coup led by dangerous psychopaths guiding an egomaniac half-wit.
The issue here is not Flynn so much as the hold Russia has on 45. POTUS let this slide for weeks until Bannon told him what to do. Pence was kept out of the loop until he read about it in the media. Flynn ”resigns” after colluding with Russia for being stupid in how he did it. Nothing new, Flynn is stupid. He believed in “Pizzagate” and promoted the heinous conspiracy theory, personally. Good riddance no matter the reasons.
Russia has now secretly deployed a cruise missile in violation of the arms control treaty that ended the Cold War. And currently, there is a Russian spy ship, the Viktor Leonov SSV-175 cruising 70 miles from the U.S.coast in violation to a 1987 Treaty. Four Russian military aircraft conducted low passes against a U.S. destroyer in the Black Sea last week. What keeps POTUS from telling his hero Putin to knock off the sausage party? A serious question.
Meanwhile in the Republican Congress - Any investigation of criminal Russian election influence is not useful because it might get in the way of repealing Obamacare! Is the marching order and the latest “shiny thing over there.” Never mind those POTUS tax records. Or protecting our country from the on-going coup by demented extremists.
So far, POTUS has withered in the face of Russia and China on important issues; with both Iran and North Korea launching ballistic missiles in open defiance.
What’s next on the POTUS “Wimp-out List” - Getting bullied into a war by the leader of a tiny little country with the population of less than Los Angeles County? With a blatant discrimination attempt purely on the basis of Palestinian national identity, novice Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley on behalf of the religious right delivered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a diplomatic fluff job just prior to the meeting with 45 at the White House this week.
What else will be offered up by a demonstratively wimpy, inexperienced POTUS to gain the leadership peer acceptance on his world reality show stage he craves? So far, all the Bannon$rump maladministration has gained is global eye-roll for our country by their amateur antics.
By 2020, the Bannon$rump maladministration will have created hundreds of thousands of new jobs cleaning up after all of the ”hot dilbit” pipeline ruptures.
Darth Cheney criticizing the Bannon$Rump maladministration’s keynote policy is tantamount to Lucifer badmouthing Mammon.
Why does a Republican “Christian nation” continue to elect devils to lead them?
45s glaring inexperience and ineptitude in dealing with other powerful foreign leaders and kowtowing to their wishes, e.g., the disgraceful permitting of Putin to tamper with our national elections and now, withering in front of President Xi Jinping over the “One China” policy does not build confidence for the new POTUS on the world stage. The recent Abe eye roll after the entrapment handshake sums it up, well.
The POTUS was bullied by Russia and China and he went flaccid.
“TRUMP SHOULD LEARN FROM OBAMA, NOT BUSH JR.”- the openly racist Republican Congress and the Bannon$rump maladministration are working to completely erase President Obama from history. Ignorant H8 and learning are not synonymous.
There are few things more unstable and dangerous than an old man who ignores their dependencies/addiction. Especially, when a chemically-altered knowing madman is in a position of power, trust and authority and an insecure, ego-maniac POTUS seeks his counsel.
“WHY no one addresses that this guy is obviously a total drunk . ?
Start with FEAR.
45 senior adviser Kellyanne Conway has embarrassed the maladministration too many times. She will eventually be thrown-under-the-bus like Christie, Schwarzenegger and our Federal Court System.
45 tweeted, "Sen. McCain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Only emboldens the enemy! He's been losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in – bogged down in conflict all over the place. Our hero Ryan died on a winning mission (according to General Mattis), not a 'failure.' Time for the U.S. to get smart and start winning again!"
This is winning to 45. Of the nine young children who were slaughtered in the Jan. 29 strike in Al Bayda Governorate, obliterating 23 civilians, the youngest was three months old. Eight women were killed, including a woman who was full-term pregnant and horribly injured. Seven women and children were maimed in the raid. It is doubtful anyone sane would want this horror show the way to be remembered.
45 by attaching this mess to the late Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens, is disgracing the fallen Seal and his family but promoting himself on a pile of dead radical Islamist terrorist babies.
“Of the nine young children who died, the smallest was only three months old. Eight women were killed, including one who was heavily pregnant. Seven more women and children were injured.”
The maladministration's top spokesperson called a raid in Yemen a "huge success," and rebuked any criticism of the operation as a "disservice" to the fallen SEAL.
It is doubtful anyone would want this horror show the way to be remembered. Attaching this mess to the late Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens, is a disgrace to the fallen Seal and his family.
Please bear in mind Trump is in competition with Bush/Cheney for the highest brown-skinned body count. Look for bigger and bigger piles of smoldering brown babies in the future. Does the pregnant woman and her unborn child count as two?
To this maladministration “success” is the smell of burning radical Islamic terrorist babies in the morning breeze.
Steve Bannon was not elected. The obviously intemperate Herr Bannon was appointed.
Can you refute the piece with some facts? Rather than an illogical opinion.
The fact is 45 botched his first military action so badly, Yemen no longer trusts his help.
NOT "fake news."
le Diablo - "And that’s just an appetizer. There’s Mexico to invade.” - True, Mexico has a lot of oil but the “appetizer” will be Venezuela and soon, to curry favor with Russia and China.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-oil-insight-idUSKBN15O2BC
Venezuela's state-run, PDVSA, has fallen arrears on shipments of crude and fuel under oil-for-loan deals with China and Russia. 45 can invade and bring the account up to expectations for a % and in the subsequent occupation can add a few more notches on his tiny little gun handle.
A far more likely paranoid delusion?
