    Nobody Is Left to Save the World From Trump Now

    Nobody Is Left to Save the World From Trump Now

    excerpt:

    "From the outset of his presidency, to which he was elevated with barely any preparation, Donald Trump was surrounded by a protective cordon of advisers, as a child monarch might. In return for absorbing his tantrums, they would educate their unsteady charge, who would wind up, after pratfalls and drama, inflicting no more ruin on the country than a normal modern Republican president might. (Which, to be sure, is quite a bit of ruin). Somehow it seemed we might muddle through.

    Now Trump is breaking through the protective cordon. The people who joined the government to save Donald Trump from himself, or to save the world from Trump, are leaving. Gary Cohn and Rex Tillerson are gone. Trump is reorganizing his legal team, mobilizing for war against the special counsel. And now he has finally cast off his most important minder, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, and replaced him with John Bolton."

    Nobody Is Left to Save the World From Trump Now

    excerpt:

    "Bolton is considered so dangerous, even by many Republican hawks, because he is a true believer, deeply in the grips of black-and-white notions of simple morality that are difficult to reconcile with the messy reality that is the world. There is a long history of ideologues joining a presidential administration and terrifying the establishment, only to be assimilated into its bureaucratic routines. But Bolton’s character and history seem to defy any such domestication. During his time in the administration, he not only ignored but bullied staffers who presented analyses that questioned his prior assumptions. His brain is impervious to complication.

    The combination of Bolton and Trump poses an especially potent danger. Trump once declared “I love war, in a certain way.” Both men think in terms of zero-sum conflict and harbor an obsession with dominating their adversaries. They are temperamental twins. In North Korea or elsewhere, Bolton could goad Trump into dangerous reaction. Some people fooled themselves into believing Trump would govern as a dove of some kind. But any dovish impulses he had were a product of his lack of control over the government. Trump might dismiss the use of power by people who aren’t Trump, but is not inclined to be shy about wielding power that he commands himself."

    I predict he'll start by sinking the Iran agreement, after which Iran will resume it's nuclear program which he said we should nuke. For North Korea, he proposed a first strike. That should get them to accelerate their program, providing the pretext to bomb. But they have nuclear weapons and missiles that can reach the U.S. Ooooooooooh boy!

    Quite possibly yes. Ethical, honest attorneys seem to be a minority in America.

    If Trump is so smart why does he suckle between a Saudi's legs?

    Pence is not ethical. He is a Klansman.

    Then I'd expect he brought up on charges and put on trial if he was.

    Don't forget Rumpy has already pissed off China and they like having North Korea as their pals. Putin already said he would attack anyone who screws with Syria. A real world war is shaping up. I bet they hope it distracts American attention from the Mueller investigation.

    Quite possibly a valid outcome. It has worked before.

    Being a Klansman is not against the law. A large number of white men in Indiana are members of the Klan. It was reconstituted by DG Stephenson in Marion Indiana in the 1920s. A lot of cops are Klansmen in Indiana. The Klan has total control of the Indiana general assembly. Mike Pence stands for everything that the Klan wants. The Republican party platform is the exact replica of the Klan platform. Mike Pence is most likely one of the top commanders of the national Klan.

    I know it worked before. That's why I mentioned it.

    So, last night I posted up some links and excerpts about this story. What I didn't realize is that they've already known about it. They knew Guccifer 2.0 was a Russian operative masquerading as a Romanian hacker, or something like that. They just didn't know who it was. Now they know specifically who it was.

    Hacker Guccifer 2.0 identified as Russian intelligence officer
    I don't think this story will lead anywhere because they can't subpoena the Russian operative. I don't plan on posting about it again. Sorry for the mix up.

    Trump Says He May Veto Spending Bill, Risking Government Shutdown

    Trump Says He May Veto Spending Bill, Risking Government Shutdown

    "But the president was most angry about the lack of funding in the bill for a massive wall on the nation’s southern border that he has billed as the centerpiece of his crackdown on illegal immigrants. The measure includes nearly $1.6 billion for border security — including new technology and repairs to existing barriers — but not Mr. Trump’s wall, as he claimed on Twitter on Wednesday. It provides $641 million for about 33 miles of fencing, but prohibits building a concrete structure or other prototypes the president has considered, and allocates the rest of the funding for new aircraft, sensors and surveillance technology.

    A veto would almost certainly shut down the government at midnight, just as hundreds of thousands of teenagers and adults are slated to descend on Washington for a gun control march. With Congress on spring recess for two weeks starting Monday, many lawmakers had already departed Washington early Friday. Some were on their way out of the country as part of official congressional delegations overseas."
