    Trumpocalypse: The End Game.

    We are now essentially a Soviet satellite State. Pence is the man that the hardliners in the GOP want as President. Pence is Putin’s man through and through. Fat Donny is just the catspaw to pry the whole thing loose and make room for the Fascists rebuild it in their own image after he’s long gone.

    Fat Donny is an utter imbecile, and Putin knows this. Putin and the Oligarchs of the world have spent the last thirty or so years grooming and stroking his ego and supporting his businesses with cash flow, propaganda and legal support while cultivating the Conservative movement through the business schools, Sunday-morning television and Corporate Churches that operate those networks.

    “What’s good for Business is Good for America”.

    “Pray to Jesus and you will become Wealthy in the eyes of the Lord.”

    Etc etc etc. It’s the same people saying the same things. They’re just doing it in different media at various times depending on the venue.

    They have already spent decades corrupting and defaming the Unions, Civil Rights, the institutions of public education and the intellectuals that comprise those institutions. They have spent decades denouncing and destroying public works and the need for protected lands. They’ve spent decades creating the narrative that any Government that directly supports citizen’s desires to build a better society is the product of an enemy paradigm. Conservatives just eat that shit up like it’s fucking candy.

    Manafort, who has now been revealed as a foreign agent, pushed Pence on Fat Donny as the VP candidate because it lent some credibility to the hardline rightists that want to take possession of the country as a privately held fiefdom. All it takes for those guys to deem themselves the Owners Of Everything And Everybody is money, as that is all they care about.

    They know that money can buy them unlimited political power. They know that money can buy them out of any trouble they might find themselves in. They’re no different from the Indonesian, South American or African politicians who pledge in public to do things like crack down on poaching, illegal logging and mining operations, and then take a few hundred thousand in cash payoffs from the mining companies and the poachers when they know nobody is looking. They’re exactly the same. Money is power, and a means to control the message. Any legal establishment (such as Constitutional Law) is either an obstruction or something to be twisted into supporting their efforts. All they have to do is structure their propaganda at the right people with a plausible message that already jibes with the bullshit they’ve already been told to believe from other sources, like the Bible or the Qu’ran, or in the business schools.

    This is why other NeoFascist movements around the world have been pretty successful in their own domestic efforts. The Daesh, the Greek Fascists, The rise of a hardline Hinduist political movement in India that is now more or less in control of that country. All have developed out of reshaping the older belief systems that were already in place, emphasizing some aspects of the belief system and de-emphasizing or openly denouncing others to support the thought patterns they’re building in people’s minds with that propaganda.

    An example is how the Conservative politicians in the United States are almost continuously hammering the idea that the Second Amendment is absolutely sacrosanct, but the First is practically seditious and any Amendment after the tenth is completely illegitimate.

    They are being shaped into a system of beliefs that allows people to rationalize and accept constant, permanent warfare, “official” (meaning legal) murder and open thievery as being just a normal aspect of Politics or National Defense.

    Anyone who has less than lily-white skin, or is gay, or is of a minority religion might just want to start thinking seriously about getting the hell out of the country because Fat Donny knows damn well he’s running out of time, in every sense of the word. His only real job is to fuck as much shit up as he can before the shit hits the fan, or he drops dead of a heart attack. Which, considering his diet, his temperament and the nature of his lifestyle, is probably coming up really soon. He hates doctors, spends most of his time on leisure activities, and he eats tons of unhealthy garbage.

    Pence is that Pure, White, Christian Man that the Fascists want to take charge of the United States at the beginning of their taking ownership of the entire world. He’s relatively young and healthy, is a genuine True Believer in God and Business, and as far as the Conservatives are concerned, is as slick as a greased hagfish in his public image.

    Alcee Hastings is a man of unparalled sleaze.

    • Impeached and convicted for bribery and perjury while a judge, prior to his election to Congress. (Fun fact: the attorney who bribed him was pardoned by Bill Clinton. On Clinton’s last day in office.)

    • Paid more than $600k to his girlfriend – employed by his Congressional office – over a four-year period.

    • Is sued by a Congressional commission staffer, and gets out of being a defendant in the suit because he successfully claims that the law does not apply to him. Because he is in Congress.

    Oh, and • makes Blake Farenthold’s settlement seem rather small.

    Exclusive: Taxpayers Paid $220K to Settle Case Involving Rep. Alcee Hastings

    http://www.rollcall.com/news/p.....ign=buffer

    Yes, for sexual harassment.

    Hastings represents an incredibly safe district. He’ll never be expelled from Congress because CBC. So he gets to be used by Republicans whenever they want to bludgeon Democrats.

    It’s the one thing Hastings is good for.

  5. 5

    Seems a roller coaster of resignations in Congress. At this rate, will we have one by November?

    After Corrine Brown’s sentencing for corruption and theft, and the revelations of Alcee Hastings’ latest embarrassment to his state, Giancarlos Stanton has had enough and is getting the hell out of Florida.

    Trump led a MAGA rally in Pensacola last night.

    Pensacola is less than an hour away from Alabama’s third-largest city, Mobile.

    The networks gave him plenty @ 3 to talk about.

    Yeah, me neither.

    I can understand your confusion, as you treat every single-topic thread as if it was an open one.

    You’re what the whores call an ‘old trick’, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. Back when the blue diamonds still worked for you, anyway.

    where he endorsed the child molester who loves him some slavery.

    It may still play in AL but the coal jobs aren’t coming back and 16 women have credibly accused him of sexual assault. 2018 is nearly here.

    According to Pew, Trump’s approval rating among white evangelical Protestants dropped 17 percentage points from February to December, down from 78 percent to 61 percent.

    Stanton led the majors in homers with 59 and was the NL MVP, while Judge was the runner-up for AL MVP. That duo plus Gary Sanchez would give the Yankees the most righty power it is history.

    Not only that, but the Yankees apparently may get Stanton at a discount from his contracted price.

    Starlin Castro is in the deal. He’ll be Starlin the Marlin when the deal’s done.

    @16 “@ 2 had absolutely no connection to @ 1.”

    In the same way that whistling Dixie has no connection to Ma Rabbit’s interrogatories about the missing cookies.

    2018 is nearly here.

    According to Pew, Trump’s approval rating among white evangelical Protestants dropped 17 percentage points from February to December, down from 78 percent to 61 percent.

    Will someone please explain to Pilsner boy that Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2018?

    Oh, and that despite the drop in Trump’s support among that group of voters, it’s a drop from a level that saw him clean #CrookedHillary’s clock by 40 points among white blue-collar voters

    http://www.newsweek.com/2016/1.....19095.html

    last year?

    Oh, and finally, if Kirsten Gillebrand be believed, it’s reasonable to assume that the accusations of sexual harassment against Trump would actually increase his popularity among male college student voters.

  22. 22

    @16 “You’re what the whores call an ‘old trick’, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.”

    I haven’t heard that one. Probably because I don’t talk to whores as frequently as you do.

  23. 23

    @21 “Will someone please explain to Pilsner boy that Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2018?”

    Of all the stupid comments you’ve posted this one is the world record.

    Ask any GOP strategist if Trump is on the ballot in 2018. Ask Manafort, ask Bannon. Ask Yertle and Ryan. Ask anybody. You’re a dumbfuck.

  24. 24

    @10 “Pensacola is less than an hour away from Alabama’s third-largest city, Mobile.”

    Yeah. He asked, “Who here votes in Alabama?” and everybody’s hands shot up.

  25. 25

    @21

    Trump isn’t on the ballot in the literal sense but how did runing against Trump work in VA where he also wasn’t on the ballot?

    About 10 seats better than the wildest dreams of VADP.

    Nah, no crossover among white blue collar and evangelical

    Forty-one percent of white Americans say they approve of Trump, compared to 49 percent in February.

    But then midterms of a fist term president have NEVER< EVER been a referendum on that President’s policies. Nobody ran against Obamacare in 2010 apparently.

    The GOP is a gang of haters who hide behind the robes of a guy who preached universal love. They hate minorities, gays, poor people, victims of police shootings, foreigners, college students, workers, wild horses, and caribou. Sometimes they even hate each other. The latter, at least, is understandable. Above all, they hate freedom, and insist that everyone else must be just like them.

  28. 28

    @ 25

    If a president’s party historically loses seats in the midterm elections, then aren’t you basically stating that on the first Tuesday of next November the sun will rise in the East as expected?

    This really won’t be a typical midterm campaign, at least not in the US Senate. Massive amounts of money will be spent.

    One could make the argument for Toss-up: Minnesota is actually trending Republican, and while Hillary Clinton carried the state by 1.5 points in 2016, the state’s two-party presidential margin was actually slightly more Republican than the national average for the first time since 1952. If the Republicans can find a strong candidate — former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) has been a rumored candidate for his old job and could hypothetically consider this race, too — and/or if Dayton makes a weak appointment or the eventual Democratic nominee in 2018 turns out to have problems, this may end up being a Toss-up.

    At the very least, the Democrats now have to play defense in yet another competitive seat next year, thanks to Franken’s indiscretions, in a year (2018) where they already were defending 25 of the 33 seats being contested. Now that looks like 26 of 34, and no party has had to defend a more lopsided Senate map in a postwar midterm. The fact that Democrats have so much territory to defend — 10 of their Senate states were carried by Trump in November 2016 — means the Democrats will be hard-pressed to net seats even if national conditions otherwise favor them next year.

    http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/

    Remember, #CrookedHillary’s margin in MN was very small.

  29. 29

    We’re about 48 hours from MSNBC claiming that Trump has promised to intervene to ensure that the Crimson Tide is national champion if Roy Moore is elected.

  30. 30

    @28 “Massive amounts of money will be spent.”

    That’s sorta the point, isn’t it? The GOP is about to hand trillions of dollars in tax cuts to America’s richest people with the expectation they’ll spend billions to elect Republican politicians who represent the interests of 5% of the population. The other 95% be damned.

    You have no problem with this because you visualize yourself as part of the 5%, although I’m pretty sure they don’t give a shit about you either.

  31. 31

    Maybe we’ll see an HA-style Alabama Senate poll analysis very soon. Until then this might have to do (RCP):

    RCP Average 11/27 – 12/8 — — 48.8 45.2 Moore +3.6
    Gravis 12/5 – 12/8 1254 LV 2.8 49 45 Moore +4
    WBRC-TV/Strategy Research 12/4 – 12/4 3200 LV 2.0 50 43 Moore +7
    Emerson* 11/30 – 12/2 500 LV 4.3 49 46 Moore +3
    CBS News/YouGov 11/28 – 12/1 766 LV 4.8 49 43 Moore +6
    Washington Post 11/27 – 11/30 739 LV 4.5 47 50 Jones +3
    JMC Analytics 11/27 – 11/28 650 LV 3.8 49 44 Moore +5

    Side note on the approval rating.

    But now you know what a Trump Administration stands for and it isn’t middle class jobs and middle class tax cuts. It’s Pedophilia, racism and Billionaires with a side of Paul Manafort international agent thrown in.

    It was one thing to vote in the abstract for “Not Hillary”. In 2018 and 2020, if he makes it that long, you’re looking to convince the electorate to vote “FOR Trump.”

    And then you get into 30-35% of the electorate who are actually FOR Trump. That’s a problem.

    Trump also lost approval among older voters—47 percent of people age 50 and older supported the president in February, compared to 38 percent now

  33. 33

    @ 30

    The GOP is about to hand trillions of dollars in tax cuts to America’s richest people with the expectation they’ll spend billions to elect Republican politicians…

    Which is oh-so-different than Democrats handing special favors to trial attorney, unions, and ‘community groups’ like ACORN with the expectation that they’ll spend billions to elect Democrat politicians.

    OK, maybe not a billion. After all, #CrookedHillary spent $1.2 billion and look how that turned out.

    Oh, and the public sector unions have had a reason of late to watch their pocketbooks a bit more carefully…

  35. 35

    @33 We’re not into unilateral disarmament. When you stop, we’ll stop. You started it, so you have to stop first.

  37. 37

    @ 32

    But now you know what a Trump Administration stands for …

    See, this is your problem, self-stated.

    What counts is what voters believe a Trump administration stands for 11 months from now.

    That’s after the tax cut shows up in their paychecks as a higher net and after the Obamacare mandate doesn’t take several hundred dollars out of their take-home if they decide not to pay for insurance they can’t use.

    That’s after INS pares down the interior illegal alien population some more.

    That’s after the upcoming SCOTUS decision on Janus. Most of the electorate resents what public sector unions are getting and how little work they have to do to get it. See WI’s Act 10. I didn’t see #CrookedHillary benefitting from that, did you? (Of course, #CrookedHillary herself didn’t see it because she neglected to campaign there during the general, but I digress.)

    That’s after voters get a look at what the lowered corporate tax rate and offshore asset repatriation does to their 401k and IRA balances.

    Dems are fighting so hard, now, because they’re petrified of what voters will realize a year from now.

  39. 39

    @ 34

    The only relevance Anita Hill will have is when Gillebrand uses her to take down Biden.

    Of course, for a few months after that she’ll end up having to explain to black voters why she used accomplished black women and men as pawns in order to smear a white man. The same white man who warned that others were ‘gonna put y’all back in chains’.

    Yes, the 2020 Democrat primary season will be a goldmine for Orville Redenbacher.

  42. 42

    @31 Wherein Doctor Dumbfuck whores for a child molester and pedophile. That’s why we call him a dumbfuck.

  44. 44

    @37 “What counts is what voters believe a Trump administration stands for … ”

    That’s the problem. About a third of this country thinks it’s perfectly okay for someone to stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot random passersby as long as he espouses the Hitlerian ideology they’re wedded to.

    And before you jump me for “playing the Hitler card,” take note that I’m not the only one who sees echoes of Nazism in the Trump movement. When we’ve got a former POTUS warning us about that, I’d say Republicans have a problem.

    Shit, oh dear. It looks like Mcconnell and Scott Walker (and probably dozens of other folks) are as deep in Russian shit money as Trump and Manafort.

    Putin is reputed to be the worlds first Trillionaire, in a very literal sense. With that much corporate influence, and the full authority of the Russian Government behind his efforts, there really is no good way to shut him down. One of the primary problems being that a third of the American Citizenry promote his style of authoritarianism as being the model of Government they want to see in the United States. MCconnell, Ryan, Walker, Pence etc and unabashedly Steve King are all “racial nationalists” by their own open admissions. They mean White, European descended Calvinist evilangelicals. By their own words they claim for themselves as being the sole purveyors and natural guardians of All That Is Decent And Good in America. Everyone else is the Enemy and they are at War.

    I wonder what percentage of the population were seriously sympathetic to the Nazis and the Spanish, Italian and Greek Fascists back in 1937? Even emulating them by repeating their speeches and imitating their rituals.

    You had the Silver Legions, the Ku Klux Klan, the Rockwellians etc. It was a very real thing back then.

    As it is now.

    At this point in time, it is safe to assume with near total certainty, that anyone who still supports Fat Donny Two Scoops is in fact a real, ideological Fascist and will be treated as such. They know damn well what that means for themselves, and they fully embrace all the ramifications of that. They are going to cleanse themselves of all those influences that weaken them in their DNA.

    @ 45

    You do realize, unemployable ‘froggy, that your link is from May?

    That both sides have since had a careful look at it, and determined it to be bullshit?

    The businessman was born in Ukraine, but has long lived in London and New York. His company gave $1.5 million not directly to Walker, but to a super PAC that supported Walker’s run for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. He has ties to Putin, based on his past ownership of a Russian oil company, but whether he is “pro-Putin” is unclear.

    For a statement that contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, our rating is Mostly False.

    http://www.politifact.com/wisc.....1-million/

    No one on the left who is not a fucking crazed moron is talking about this shit, ‘froggy. If Walker were in trouble, it would be lighting up the blue badger blog right about now. Instead, it’s crickets.

    NYT has a piece, yesterday, about efforts by Russians to engage with Hope Hicks. A couple of excerpts:

    F.B.I. officials warned one of President Trump’s top advisers, Hope Hicks, earlier this year about repeated attempts by Russian operatives to make contact with her during the presidential transition, according to people familiar with the events.
    …
    There is no evidence that Ms. Hicks did anything improper.

    In fact, Hicks ended up asking the FBI for information about who they were concerned about, and the FBI gave her the names.

    And there’s this juicy little nugget:

    In some ways, the Russian outreach to Ms. Hicks undercuts the idea that the Russian government had established deep ties to the Trump campaign before the election. If it had, Russian officials might have found a better entrèe to the White House than unprompted emails to Ms. Hicks.

    The US Economy is going to have to add about 25 million jobs in December to avoid 45 having the worst year over the past five.

    Yeah, that’s exactly what I’ll be thinking when the Dow ticks above 25,000 later this month.

  80. 80

    @75 @78 The math doesn’t work. Looks like that should be .25 million, i.e., 250,000.

    The main point, though, is that Trump doesn’t have an economic program beyond the tired and discredited GOP supply-side mysticism, so nobody should expect more than incremental increases to GDP growth. And inflation might wipe out what little gain the middle class gets from the tax cuts.

    Hey Rail Fan, what do you think about this projected BIG TIME overrun in CA? https://www.city-journal.org/html/fantasy-train-15594.html

    Policymakers sold the high-speed rail project to voters nearly a decade ago, in a ballot measure that promised a 220-mph super train that would blast passengers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in a tidy two hours and 40 minutes. Independent analysts say that the ride will likely take at least three hours and 50 minutes and as long as four hours and 40 minutes—or only an hour less than it currently takes to drive.
    So it might not be very fast—but at least it will be cheap, right? Wrong again. Projected fares have risen along with the projected travel times. What was once estimated roughly as a $50 ticket between Los Angeles and San Francisco had inflated to $105 by 2009, according to the project’s business plan. The latest estimate: an $86 fare, which one can readily imagine going higher still by the time the train is operational.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/09/trump-demands-gets-apology-from-washington-post-reporter.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: In what you might call “elite” circles,* a term inclusive of educated, academic, scholarly, intellectual, journalistic, etc. — virtually anyone with standards of truth, integrity, and accuracy — admitting and correcting errors is expected and done, and doing so is not seen as weakness, but as strength and especially moral strength. It’s also a one-way street when you’re dealing with Republicans, because you’ll never get that from either their leaders or followers.

    * I really don’t like the term “elite” here, which implies a select few, because there’s no reason why everyone can’t demand and try to live up to certain defined standards of truth, integrity, and accuracy. If our country has an “elite” in that sense, it’s because some people of lesser character choose not to.

    Brian Joyce, 55, was arrested at his Westport home shortly before sunrise Friday, hours before authorities unsealed a 113-count indictment stemming from a two-year investigation that charges the Democrat with racketeering, extortion, wire fraud and money laundering.

    He took 700# of free coffee as part of one bribe.

    ‘‘We believe Mr. Joyce was greedy, plain and simple,’’ FBI Special Agent in Charge Hank Shaw said.

    @142 How can I reply to this level of stupid? I’ll try spelling it out, but I have no expectations. Diplomats represent their governments. That’s all they do. Our diplomats didn’t create Somalia or Yemen.

Which is what two top-tier diplomats did last week.

    Actually, that’s not their job. Their job is to represent our government. For example, they might be called upon to deliver an ultimatum or a declaration of war. They may have a negotiating function, for example, trade agreements, in which cases they are acting as negotiators but not policymakers. In negotiations, they simply follow the instructions they’re given by our government.

    @150 “Is the FBI investigating Cuomo senile idiot wabbit? Need more sources?”

    Yes, it is, and what does that have to do with anything? The FBI is investigating hiring practices, dating back to GOP Gov. George Pataki, that make the New York Governor’s Office payroll look smaller than it is by putting some of those employees on other state agencies’ payrolls.

    “The investigation is being conducted by an F.B.I. agent in upstate New York, in conjunction with prosecutors in the United States attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who could not explain the unusual arrangement. … It was also unclear what law, if any, may have been broken.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/08/nyregion/cuomo-fbi-inquiry.html

    Unusual arrangement. Unclear what law was broken. Also, “political observers seemed skeptical the investigation would lead to criminal charges.” Make of that what you will.

    Two more raps against Roy Moore (as if there aren’t already enough):

    (1) He appeared on a radio show hosted by conspiracy theorists who “have argued that the US government is illegitimate and who have said that the September 11, 2001, attacks, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing, and other mass shootings and terrorist attacks are false flag attacks committed by the government” and appeared to endorse their views.

    (2) On that show, he advocated getting rid of all U.S. constitutional amendments except the first ten (i.e., the Bill of Rights). Presumably this includes getting rid of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery.

Those guys are fun to party with, and then when they go to Mother Russia they get sent to the gulag. Can’t have them spreading American ideas and all that.

    Just why the Democrats are calling for Trump to resign so we have Pence in the office would suggest the Democrats are the Russian clients.

  176. 176

    @5 Yes there will be. And frankly the people resigning are totally stupid. The voters don’t care.

    Also if the Democratic party becomes the pussy party this does not bode well for its future success.

    The Republican’s will be the masculine party and will be totally successful , because of the women who like men. Even if it’s only 10% of women who follow men into the Republican party it’s a winning scenario.

    Perhaps the Democrats should maybe talk about policy. The tax bill. $15 dollar minimum wage. Medicare for all. Stuff like that, but no they want to eat their own. What a winning proposal. Unity is the word and I guess it will be Unity until the crying after the 2018 Congressional elections when Democrats seize defeat from the jaws of victory.

    @10 I don’t know for sure, but it looks like the next Senator from Alabama will be Roy Moore. The Democrats have not offered a damn thing. And in Alabama being in support of abortion is a losing proposition so you may as well go full out progressive.

    Getting Al Franken to fall on his sword in order to screw Roy Moore is the stupidest thing the Democratic leadership has pulled in a long time. It’s not going to get Trump to resign. And Roy Moore will be in Washington and he will fight for the seat, and in the end the Democrats don’t have the votes to keep him out, And after 2018 in the Senate they very likely will have fewer votes.

  181. 181

    @178 I’m not against identity politics, the thing is most voters don’t give a flying fuck. While there maybe broad support for identity politics it’s shallow support. Many other things are more important. War and peace, Taxes.

    Like the environment identity politics has broad support, but shallow support. There are Republican’s who support both, but a Republican is more likely to be more supportive of the environment because of their children or grand children, and their love of where they are from and or representing. There is much more common ground in today’s America. There can be much more common ground in identity politics, but if you vilify the folks who represent a lot of American’s based on their political affiliation that broad but shallow support quickly dissipates.

    @17 I do at least the Democrats had the votes in the House, and nearly as many votes as needed to toss Nixon out in the Senate. That does not remotely exist at the moment. Meanwhile Republican in the House and Senate are you the finger.

  185. 185

    @20 And neither have any remote connection to local or state politics of Washington state that is allegedly the purpose of horseass. Not that could not be Horseass the board way musical, but only if Mel Brooks has notices this little blog.

    I wonder if the ‘danger to our democracy’ that has Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s urethral catheter all knotted up is the same one that Glenn Greenwald refers to as a ‘grave threat’:

    Virtually every false story published goes only in one direction: to be as inflammatory and damaging as possible on the Trump/Russia story and about Russia particularly. At some point, once “mistakes” all start going in the same direction, toward advancing the same agenda, they cease looking like mistakes.

    No matter your views on those political controversies, no matter how much you hate Trump or regard Russia as a grave villain and threat to our cherished democracy and freedoms, it has to be acknowledged that when the U.S. media is spewing constant false news about all of this, that, too, is a grave threat to our democracy and cherished freedom.

    Probably not.

  187. 187

    @1 Furthermore Trump is being a lousy Russian tool. You can’t cry over what he might do in North Korea and then tell me he is a Russian puppet. The Russians do not want the buddies in North Korea reduced to ash, they have too many rubbles invested, ect.
    They want North Korea to survive.

    A President who states Jerusalem is the capital of Israel is not a Russian puppet. Russia’s allies in Syria and elsewhere would not tolerate a Russian puppet doing that and the state would be totally locked down. Well NFL is happening on TV so the Russians clearly are not in fucking charge.

    @22 Well you should be out talking to whores since you are a Democratic party official. After they vote in this state. Ou should be concerned their concerns and support sex workers, and their rights.

    You really are a senile joke! Glenn Greenwald is a friend of HA DUMMOCRETINS. Puddy is not!

    @24 Hold on are you inferring that the President is right about there being a problem with illegal voting in a US state? Voters voting in two states perhaps?

  191. 191

    @188 Puddy I like Glenn and I think he does a pretty good job as a journalist and he pisses both sides on some issues. Which is why I think he is a real journalist. And he sometimes pisses me off, but I would happily have a beer with him. Or you for that matter.

  192. 192

    @32 Oh my god Trump is a Republican doing Republican policies!!! The world will not end as we know it.

  193. 193

    @34 Supposedly you are an attorney so you know he will go when he retires or dies. He could be impeached by the House and removed from office by the Senate, but that hasn’t happened for like a 150 years. So I think that justice has nothing to worry about. You should have coffee with him and share your opinions though. Good luck with that.

  194. 194

    @37 Damn he has good points. He must remember Ronald Reagan too. Those first two years sucked for him. The dems tried to make hay, and then he got reelected easily. Wonder why.

  195. 195

    @42 Unfortunately Alabama voters certainly know their state laws. The law of consent is 16 in Alabama. That take most of the energy out of your statement. There is one claim that cannot be verified and Roy Moore is not going to be arrested or tried over that claim, though the Senate ethics Chair maybe bothered by the claim, and they will have to come out and say there ain’t diddly to most of the claims and we are not going to waste time on them. There are perhaps two claims they may look into., but those claims are over 39 years old. So Roy Moore is likely to be the Senator from Alabama. He may have a harder primary next time around, but that is reality,. Your statement is exaggeration, and your are not in Alabama and not voting in that election. And you aren’t not helping the Democratic party of Alabama come up with a winning strategy. As they are frankly in the same boat the Republican party was there for decades after the civil war, and before. A meaningless little bump on a log. With the occasional victory in a local or state election.

    Yes just like the Democrats after the civil war the Republican’s could run John Wilkes Booth for Senator and he would win.

  196. 196

    @44 So Trump is a Russian Puppet and a NAZI. I’m sure Putin hates NAZI’s Especially Ukrainian NAZI’s that the US supports. So both of these things cannot be true. Pick one and stick with it. Voters are confused easily (or are wiser than the pundits on here) .

  197. 197

    @45 If you really believe the manure you are spreading here you really should become a member of the American NAZI party, they have a site on line. This way when they take over you will not be immediately located and shot. They will have to at least get to Goldie’s website, and they maybe a little confused with your name being on their list as well. I suggest that you travel south to Mexico as more than likely the Canadian’s will also be NAZI’s only more so.

    @54 The man clearly has a hobby. Maybe you think he should take up stamp collecting like President Roosevelt. Still he is the President, perhaps you like him to spend more time on the greens?

    @56 Of course retired Wisconsin governors usually end up running for the US Senate and usually get in. Or they run for President. But yes he is for the time being Wisconsin’s problem. So how are American unions doing these days? They don’t seem to be doing too well here in Washington state.

  201. 201

    @176 “What’s the danger to democracy here? It is your worry that Trump might issue more executive orders than Obama did?”

    No. It’s vote suppression, gerrymandering, the influence of corporate money, inciting violence against political opponents, attacking the media for doing its job, delegitimizing dissent, and prosecuting demonstrators who didn’t commit any crimes.

    “What jurors haven’t heard, and prosecutors don’t intend to offer, is evidence that any of the six individuals currently on trial … engaged in any property damage or violence. Under the government’s theory of the case, in which anyone arrested in the group is part of a conspiracy and is responsible for any actions taken by others, the lack of individualized wrongdoing doesn’t matter.”

    @179 “The Democrats have not offered a damn thing.”

    Merely the survival of Social Security and Medicare, and a rational foreign and defense policy so the country itself (or at least the portion within range of Little Kim’s missiles) survives, among other things.

    Also a tax policy that doesn’t punish workers by taxing wages more heavily than any other form of income. And not legalizing discrimination or sucking up to Nazis and the Klan.

    There’s more that might come to you if you think real hard about it.

    @79 It is just not Republican thing to do public works jobs. It is unfortunately not much of a Democratic thing either, much too progressive and the corporate masters just would not allow Obama to put people to work that way in the worse economic collapse since the Depression.

  214. 214

    @182 “For there to be treason the United States must be at war with the nation.”

    Going all legal on us, are you? For your information,

    “At times, the term traitor has been used as a political epithet, regardless of any verifiable treasonable action. In a civil war or insurrection, the winners may deem the losers to be traitors. Likewise the term traitor is used in heated political discussion – typically as a slur against … officials in power who are perceived as failing to act in the best interest of their constituents.”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason#United_States

    But it does seem to me that Robert E. Lee and other Confederates committed legal treason, as they waged war against the government of their own country. In fact, Jefferson Davis was indicted for treason, but for political reasons was not brought to trial.

  215. 215

    “but a Republican is more likely to be more supportive of the environment because of their children or grand children, and their love of where they are from and or representing”.

    Lost in the coverage of the full throated endorsement of the Pedophile who loves him some slavery of 45s Pensacola rally is his now repeated threat not to defend NATO allies. Criticizing Merkel and Germany for not paying us enough and asking rhetorically, “We end up in World War 3 for someone who doesn’t pay? … we have 40,000 troops in Germany, nobody knows that.”

    (The full text of this part of the speech is rambling, barely coherent mess like he’s suddenly distracted by a shiny object dangled just out of reach.)

    Actually, everyone knows that. We’ve kept bases, airfields and hospitals there for 70+ years to counter the Soviet/Russia threat. And we don’t pay Germany to lease the land which is worth billions.

    Piddles\Dr.Dumbfuck. The president you pimp and salivate over is a certifiable moron.

    But then you knew that.

  218. 218

    @183 “Meanwhile Republican in the House and Senate are you the finger.”

    Yes, they certainly are. They’re perfectly okay with having a traitor in the White House, as long as he signs the billionaires’ tax bill and sucks up to Israel. We know how little Republicans care about corruption, character, or honesty. They made that very clear with their unstinting support of Trump and Moore.

  219. 219

    @96 Obviously the organization provided the information to the IRS and that information is available to anyone since the organization is a 501C3, the organization did not have to provide that info to the IRS, but did so. Of course those tax payers including those funds as a tax write off might get questions from the IRS who may want to verify said deductions with the organization.

  227. 227

    @149 Actually you are wrong they are spies. Just in this post Westphalia world few actually saw what diplomats are, though they may do the other stuff you mention. Still Russians have no problem saying diplomats are spies. Excepting their own diplomats unless you are in private then yep their diplomats are the worlds best spies.

  228. 228

    @191 I agree that race-baiting, bigotry, inciting violence against political opponents, attacking the press, climate change denial, destroying the environment, hostility to workers and consumers, deficit spending, and warmongering are Republican policies.

    @192 There’s no “supposedly” printed on my J.D. degree or license to practice law. That I am an attorney is an unqualified fact.

    @193 “Those first two years sucked for him.”

    The last six sucked for Reagan. He had to raise taxes 5 times after his supply-side (or, in Stockman’s words, “voodoo”) economics crashed and burned, and even then he ran monster deficits exceeded only by those of the World Wars and Great Depression and Great Recession.

  233. 233

    @195 “So Trump is a Russian Puppet”

    It’s more precise to say he’s a business partner of Russian mobsters associated with Putin, but “Putin puppet” is adequate as a description of his policies toward Russia.

    “and a NAZI.”

    I didn’t say “Nazi,” I said “echoes of Nazism,” and if you’re not disturbed by that something is wrong with you.

  234. 234

    @196 In other words, you’re arguing the solution to a Nazi takeover of our country is becoming a quisling. I’d rather be shot. You’re going to be shot anyway (see Quisling’s fate), so you might as well be shot as a patriot than a traitor. They don’t erect memorials to traitors.

  235. 235

    @153 They are clearly after Cuomo. Perhaps reading the underlying article would help

    http://www.timesunion.com/loca.....416069.php

    The last two paragraphs may provide the federal interest. Though the investigation may not go anywhere. Still a very inventive way to hide the true cost of the advisors to Cuomo, those poor Obama folks are doing pretty well. Wonder if our governor is doing something similar, probably not, but this kind of stuff is why we are a Progressive state with our state constitution.

  236. 236

    @156 Actually since Cuomo maybe running for President this is exactly in the same vein as the Mueller investigation. Only this time it may bring Cuomo down before he even throws his hat officially into the ring. (Assuming Hilliary doesn’t beat him in the hat throwing. Then again this time he fight figure she couldn’t beat Obama, could not beat Trump, well doubt she can beat a Cuomo)

  237. 237

    @163 Did it play well in Alabama?

    1) So he appeared on a radio program. Politicians appear on all kinds of radio programs.

    2) It’s a free country and he can have opinion, though as a US Senator he has to apply the whole US constitution and if he does that in spite of his opinion, then he no worse than Scalia.

    @198 “perhaps you like him to spend more time on the greens?”

    Now there’s an idea that could grow on me. I might even overlook his criticism of Obama for spending less time on the greens than he does. The less Trump works the better.

  242. 242

    @199 No, unions aren’t doing well, and neither is the middle class. Maybe there’s a connection there.

    @205 Maybe but all that stuff is being shouted out by TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA Hopefully soon what you are saying will be said louder, but some of that isn’t enough unless you are already in a Democratic state or area. How do you make inroads in the more rural states?

  245. 245

    @202 Yes, Republicans think racism, bigotry, misogyny, plutocracy, collusion, corruption, and child molesting are peachy keen fine.

  247. 247

    @213 Of course when the losers of the fight or whatever call the winners traitors it becomes meaningless and stupid. When the United States won the Revolution the English had to stop calling American patriots traitors. The English still called them traitors, but only at private parties and behind American’s backs. They did not like what happened when they said it to American’s faces. There were some incidents on the high seas and it did take the War of 1812 to fully get the few remaining Britons to stop using the traitor, and use the more appropriate fucking Yankees.

  248. 248

    @230 Politically he was successful. He was reelected and his Vice President was elected President. While your criticisms are correct, his last six years did not suck, he was politically successful. Ask any political scientist and they will acknowledge he was a successful President. Personally I did not vote for him, and I think he did horrible things, and damaged these United States. President Clinton’s response so changed the Democratic party that even more serious damage was done, and now there really is a deep political divide in these United States. Making real issues such as North Korea, the environment, and our overcrowded prisons problems that elude sensible solutions.

    @210 “It is just not Republican thing to do public works jobs.”

    It sure isn’t. Every bridge in America could fall down, and millions of construction workers could be unemployed during a depression, but they wouldn’t spend a dime if a Democrat could take credit for it. Even under a Republican, they’ll repair roads and bridges only if private companies can charge tolls.

  252. 252

    @226 Spies posing as diplomats aren’t diplomats, they’re spies. You have no evidence the foreign policy adviser and two diplomats who quit last week were spies.

  253. 253

    @228 Fascinating story. Thanks for the link. Elizabeth Warren wants to protect the public from these predators. Trump is protecting them from her. As usual, you’re on the wrong side of the fight.

  255. 255

    @235 Cuomo isn’t president, and hiring state employees to work for one state agency and paying them from the budget of a different state agency isn’t “in the same vein” as using the office of president to cut deals with a hostile foreign power for personal gain.

  256. 256

    @236 “as a US Senator he has to apply the whole US constitution”

    Like he did when, as a state supreme court chief justice, he ordered all the judges of his state to disobey a U.S. Supreme Court ruling? That should’ve landed him in jail. In any case, it shouldn’t make him a U.S. Senator.

  258. 258

    @246 Keep your eye on the ball, son. What matters is not whether a president is “politically successful,” but whether his policies and decisions help or hurt the citizens he took an oath to serve.

  260. 260

    This article will do nothing to calm your nerves about who’s at the controls.

    “For most of the year, people inside and outside Washington have been convinced that there is a strategy behind Trump’s actions. But there is seldom a plan apart from pre-emption, self-defense, obsession and impulse. …

    “Even after a year of official briefings and access to the best minds of the federal government, Trump is skeptical of anything that does not come from inside his bubble.”
