Iran plane crash: Video appears to show missile strike, Canada and UK say they have intelligence Iran shot down Ukrainian plane - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"The Ukrainian International Airlines (UIA) flight PS752 came down just minutes after takeoff from Tehran on Wednesday local time, killing all 176 people on board, including dozens of Iranians and Canadians. The Boeing 737-800 was headed for Kiev, where 138 passengers were expected to take a connecting flight to Canada. Ukrainians, Swedes, Afghans, Germans and British nationals were also aboard.

One possibility being considered is that an Iranian missile unit saw something on their radar, thought they were under attack and fired.

"If it is true that an Iranian missile brought down a civilian airliner, it points to exactly the sort of miscalculation and recklessness that attends the cycle of escalation and violence we've been seeing in the region. The innocent people killed in this tragedy would then, sadly, not be the only victims. Iran must fully cooperate with investigators and be willing to account for their actions," CNN national security analyst retired Adm. John Kirby said."

 

Hmmm - was this the launch platform for a missile ???

Iran ambassador to UK questions 'validity' of plane crash footage

excerpt:

"Iran did not bring down a Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed southwest of Tehran, the country's ambassador to the UK has told Sky News.

Hamid Baeidinejad also questioned the "validity" of video footage which appears to show a missile striking the Boeing jet.

Asked about footage of bulldozers obtained by US TV - said to show the crash site being cleared - he said such claims were "absolutely absurd".

He continued: "Plane accidents are a very technical issue. I cannot judge, you cannot judge, reporters on the ground cannot judge. Nobody can judge. A foreign minister or a prime minister cannot judge on this issue.""

 

The incident involves Ukraine and Iran, Trump's favorite talking points.

 

Bernie Sanders can unify Democrats and beat Trump in 2020.

 

Go Bernie, the next US President !!!

 

Bingo

 

Isn't tRump cupable for the downing of the Ukranian plane?
He incentivized the Iranians to respond to our assassination of their general, on a bullshit excuse I might add.

 

Trump thinks he saved Ethiopia.



Trump takes partial credit for Ethiopian prime minister’s Nobel Peace Prize. That’s news to Ethiopians.

excerpt:

"“I made a deal, I saved a country, and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, ‘What, did I have something do with it?’ ” Trump asked the crowd.

“Yeah,” Trump said, answering his own question. “But that’s the way it is.”

Trump played no apparent role in the Eritrea peace deal, but Washington has played a convening role in another deal Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is seeking with Egypt that will regulate how quickly Ethiopia can fill a new dam it has built in the upper reaches of the Nile River that has major implications for the flow of water Egypt relies on economically.

The apparent conflation of the two led to widespread befuddlement on social media in Ethiopia and elsewhere, though by and large the comments were not taken seriously."

 

Four years later, Trump is still doing the cheerleading routine for his followers who are still chanting 'Lock her up!'


Trump, in a raucous rally, takes on Democrats and touts Soleimani killing

Trump, in a raucous rally, takes on Democrats and touts Soleimani killing

excerpt:

"Trump mocked Pelosi by saying she’s “not operating with a full deck,” and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) as “you little pencil neck" and then added “He buys the smallest shirt collar you can get, and it’s loose!" He returned to his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton, again dubbing her “crooked Hillary” and prompting the familiar “Lock her up!” chant from the crowd."

 

McConnel hold 100 bills and resolutions, Pelosi hold one; and guess who the Republicans complain about?

 

No one has talked about the possibility of American agents, or paid by America agents, doing this with a shoulder fired missile, which could reach upto10,000 feet. That plane was still at 8900 ft altitude. You would think people could still see it from the airport. Something is wrong with this picture. I am going to hold my judgement until I know more. Also, I just saw a headline which says the United States tried to kill another Iranian who was in Yemen on the same day the killed Soleimani. That's a lot of killing … carried out by Americans.

 

After all the obstructioniism by Republicans in the Senate, Trump calls the Democrats 'do nothing.'

 

Senate obstructionism handed a raft of judicial vacancies to Trump - what has he done with them?

Senate obstructionism handed a raft of judicial vacancies to Trump—what has he done with them?

excerpt:

"Donald Trump inherited 88 district and 17 court of appeals vacancies. Fourteen months later he
proclaimed “when I got in we had over 100 federal judges that weren’t appointed. I don’t know why Obama left that … Maybe he got complacent.”

The reasons for the vacancies—old news to most—was the flimsy confirmation record in the 2015-16 Senate (the 114th), with its new Republican majority. Just as it refused to consider Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination, it shut down the lower court confirmation process."

 

Trump has a rare public moment of self-awareness
By Aaron Blake

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/10/trump-has-rare-public-moment-self-awareness/

excerpt:

"Trump’s interviews with non-Trump-friendly media outlets have indeed occasionally pulled Trump out of his well-constructed shell. There were actually two moments in one interview with the Wall Street Journal when Trump seemed to drop the act.

One came when he seemed to admit that he’s fickle — he would prefer the word “flexible” — in his relationships with people:

Another big example came in 2014, when Trump for a moment reflected to a biographer on his lack of self-reflection. He basically admitted that his ego forces him to resist it.

“No, I don’t want to think about it,” he said when asked about the meaning of life. “I don’t like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see."

Trump’s books have also occasionally allowed for such insights into himself — or at least into people like him. In a 1987 book called “Trump: Think Like a Billionaire,” Trump suggested people like him need to be narcissists.

He said they succeed “because they are narcissists who devote their talent with unrelenting focus to achieving their dreams, even if it’s sometimes at the expense of those around them.”"

 

If Trump could send Melka Leifer to Guantanamo, I wouldn’t be against that.

 

If Trump could explain his relationship with the KKK I would be delighted.

 

I suggest that anyone look up Roy Cohn, Trumps personal lawyer and mentor to get a better understanding of Trump. Birds of a feather----That is--weasel dick motherfuckers.

 

A Trump / Sanders matchup would end up like McGovern in ‘72. Not the remotest possibility. Deep down even he has to know that.
