The Donald Trump Score Card

He sort of reminds me of that barren balls guy who got kicked off

 

The people who could be considered moderate such as Dowd, Cohn, McCabe, and McMaster have been replaced with hardliners that have cartoon-like persona such as Bolton.and diGenova (both from Fox News).

Trump has resurrected John Bolton, this time as national security advisor. He is known as a hawk against the U.N and Iran. G.W. Bush recess-appointed him as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in 2005. It was a case of assigning a fox to the henhouse, a behavior that Trump also enjoys. Bolton was later picked up by Fox News as a commentator.

When Bolton was ambassador to the U.N. CNN ran a comical feature clip portraying him as Yosemite Sam but with a white mustache.

 

Both of the Clinton's and Obamas were attorneys. Doesn't mean that makes them more credible. Attorneys are professional liars. Schooled in it.

John Bolton to replace McMaster as Trump's national security adviser

excerpts:

"Bolton’s arrival as national security advisor now casts a shadow over the future of the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, and the defence secretary, James Mattis, both of whom are reported to see Bolton as a wild card, and a civilian with no experience of war who has backed plunging the US into new conflicts.

The former envoy to the UN in the George W Bush administration has been a consistent advocate of the use of military force to further US goals around the globe.

He was an enthusiastic booster of the invasion of Iraq, based on the grounds – later proved spurious – that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction."


"Some conservatives close to the White House had argued that Bolton was too hawkish for Trump, and that his foreign adventurism would detract from the president’s “America first” strategy of concentrating on creating US jobs and cutting immigration. But Trump, increasingly besieged by the investigation into his campaign’s contacts with the Kremlin, now seems to have set his sights on asserting US might abroad."

 

I wonder if this will ever even make the news. It doesn't seem like the major news outlets are picking it up.

Trump says he'll unite the country. Yeah, right

Trump says he'll unite the country. Yeah, right

"There's an almost literary quality to Trump's insecurities; he craves respect more than almost anything else and yet respect remains agonizingly elusive — in part because he takes everything too personally.

The presidency, normally a job for people with thick skins and a nose for insincere flattery, promises to only heighten Trump's sense of entitlement to respect and exacerbate his inevitable resentment when he doesn't receive it. So we'll continue on divided, angry and untrusting."

The confusing timeline on Roger Stone’s communications with WikiLeaks

The timeline
June 16, 2015. Trump announces his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.

Summer 2015. Hackers believed to be linked to Russian intelligence agencies gain access to the network of the Democratic National Committee.

March 19, 2016. Podesta is sent an email that encourages him to change his email password, probably precipitating the hack of his account.

March 28, 2016. Apparently at the recommendation of Stone, Manafort is hired to lead the Trump campaign’s efforts to secure delegates for the convention.

April 2016. The DNC network is again compromised by hackers believed to be connected to Russian intelligence agencies.

April 26, 2016. Papadopoulos is informed by his contact that the Russians have “dirt” on Clinton in the form of emails.

Spring 2016. Stone tells a confidant that he had spoken with Assange and learned about emails WikiLeaks possessed that would be problematic for Democrats, including Podesta.

June 3, 2016. Trump Jr. is informed over email that the Russian government has incriminating information on Clinton that it wants to share with the Trump campaign. He helps facilitate a meeting for the information to be shared.

June 9, 2016. A meeting is held at Trump Tower predicated on sharing negative information about Clinton with the Trump campaign. Those who attended deny that any such information existed.

June 12, 2016. In an interview with ITV, Assange says the organization has more emails from Clinton.

Aug. 5, 2016. Stone writes an essay for Breitbart blaming the DNC hacks on Guccifer 2.0 — and not on Russian actors.

Aug. 8, 2016. Stone tells a Republican group that he has been in contact with Assange and that the next documents to be released were related to the Clinton Foundation.

Aug. 9, 2016. WikiLeaks obliquely denies in a tweet having had contact with Stone.

In private messages obtained by the Intercept, the group refers to Stone as a “bulls——” who is “trying to imply that he knows anything.”

Oct. 6, 2016. With Wednesday having come and gone, Stone again tweets about WikiLeaks: “Julian Assange will deliver a devastating expose on Hillary at a time of his choosing. I stand by my prediction.”

Oct. 7, 2016. WikiLeaks begins releasing documents stolen from Podesta.

Oct. 11, 2016. Podesta tells reporters that he thinks Trump’s campaign was warned about the release of his emails, pointing the finger at Stone.

Oct. 12, 2016. Stone tells a local news station in Miami that he has a mutual friend with Assange who has been giving him a heads-up about upcoming releases. It’s later revealed that the friend is New York radio host Randy Credico.

Oct. 13, 2016. WikiLeaks releases another statement denying contact with Stone. Shortly afterward, he contacts the organization over Twitter direct message in an exchange reported by the Atlantic.

 

Just saying they exist

 

John Bolton, booster for the Iraq war, has called for the bombing of both Iran and North Korea. If you think those are fine ideas, you're nuts.

 

Just talking about the option to, which is reasonable. Keep your panties on.

 

Bringing these extremist clowns on board is a signal that Trump plans to fire Mueller, after launching a further effort to discredit him. Paul Ryan says he has assurances that Trump won't do that? From whom? Ex-legal counsel John Dowd, the latest Trump appointee to desert the sinking ship?

 

Time to panic! This is nut house stuff. Trump will be finding a place for Sean Hannity soon. Surely he can find a spot for Ted Nugent and Anne Coulter. As Trump told us during the election, he only hires the best.

 

Dont even try to decode the strategy. The Trumpster is always 10 steps ahead of the next smartest guy in the room.

Henry David Thoreau
"We sometimes mistake the once-and-a-half-witted for the half-witted because we are calable of appreciating only one third of their wit."

 

Oh yes, he's such a genius. Ten steps ahead of everybody. The only person who believes that is Trump, himself. Sayyyyyyyyy. How's that wall coming? Congress seems to be balking. Any luck with Mexico?

 

Make that Trump and me.


It will get built. Id bet my left testicle on it.
