Young Turks report that 4chan discussed the finer points of Epstein’s death before the information was released to the public.

(CNN)President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland from the Danish government and the White House counsel’s office has looked into the possibility, two sources told CNN on Thursday.

Trump’s interest in buying Greenland was first reported on Thursday by The Wall Street Journal. The Journal reported that people familiar with the deliberations said the President has raised the issue during meetings and dinners, asking aides and listening seriously about the possibility and advantages of owning Greenland. He also asked his White House counsel to research the matter, according to two of the people.
Two of the people also told the Journal that Trump’s aides were divided on the issue, with some praising it as solid economic strategy and others dismissing it as a passing fancy.
CNN has contacted the White House and the State Department for comment.
Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, is home to Thule Air Base, the US military’s northernmost base, located about 750 miles above the Arctic Circle and built in 1951. The radar and listening post features a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System that can warn of incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles and reaches thousands of miles into Russian territory.
Aides expressed both expectation and reservation at the President’s still-unclear interest in the idea and had questions about the island’s military and research potential, the Journal reported. They pointed to those outside the administration floating a Greenland purchase as a potential legacy-builder for Trump, similar to President Dwight Eisenhower’s statehood for Alaska, the paper added.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to accept any responsibility for inciting violence in American communities, dismissing critics who have pointed to his rhetoric as a potential source of inspiration for some citizens acting on even long-held beliefs of bigotry and hate.

But a nationwide review conducted by ABC News has identified at least 36 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.

In nine cases, perpetrators hailed Trump in the midst or immediate aftermath of physically attacking innocent victims. In another 10 cases, perpetrators cheered or defended Trump while taunting or threatening others. And in another 10 cases, Trump and his rhetoric were cited in court to explain a defendant’s violent or threatening behavior.

ABC News could not find a single criminal case filed in federal or state court where an act of violence or threat was made in the name of President Barack Obama or President George W. Bush.

An American President who is an accomplice to inciting 36 crimes using Mass Media.

Who has being linked to crimes in the past.

Who has been linked to Russia Election meddling and other offences.

Who insults congress and senate members.

Insults and puts down people on a regular basis.

Who is insensitive to mass shootings and often gets towns and names mixed up.

Who is clearly is a white suprematist.

Who is cruel to refuges and children.

Someone needs to write an app that deletes all memories of Trump, his voice, everything about him.

I know!

Lets send all the right wing extremists, Nazis, white supremacists who are all over the world to China.

I hear the Chinese have retraining camps.

Lots of them.

I think while Donald trump was doing his Your Fired TV shows, he came up with the idea of being Americas Worst President and making that into a tv show without having to have an actual tv studio.

Should the president decide to order the launch of nuclear weapons, he or she would be taken aside by the “carrier” of the nuclear football and the briefcase opened. Once opened, the president would decide which “attack options” (specific orders for attacks on specific targets) to use. The Attack Options are preset war plans developed under OPLAN 8010, and include major attack options (MAOs), selected attack options (SAOs), and limited attack options (LAOs). The chosen attack option and the Gold Codes would then be transmitted to the NMCC via a special, secure channel.
Stephen Schwartz, an independent nuclear policy consultant, explained in 2018: “Once identity is verified, he gives the order and it is transmitted down the chain of command. The chain of command goes from the president through the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then, if we’re using long-range weapons, down through the Strategic Command, then the order is relayed to our forces in the field. It always happens extremely quickly.”

He just needs to read the numbers off a card. That’s it. No one else needs to approve: no one else can countermand the order.

What a crazy world we live in!

But I feel much annoyed by an event which is about to take place tomorrow; at seven o’clock the earth is going to sit on the moon. This is foretold by the famous English chemist, Wellington. To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil — hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.

When I now pictured to myself how the earth, that massive body, would crush our noses to dust, if it sat on the moon, I became so uneasy, that I immediately put on my shoes and stockings and hastened into the council-hall to give the police orders to prevent the moon sitting on the earth.

“In my opinion, if you vote for a Democrat you’re being very disloyal to Jewish people and you’re being very disloyal to Israel,” he said Wednesday at the White House, amplifying similar remarks he made a day earlier. “And only weak people would say anything other than that.”

Yet prominent Jewish Democrats say Trump’s criticism of the very bloc he’s seeking to woo — and his invocation of anti-Semitic tropes as part of that message — will only alienate Jewish voters heading into 2020.

“He’s totally blown away that all his pandering to the hard right of American Jewish politics on Israel is not winning him any support among American Jews. In fact, it’s backfiring,” Joel Rubin, a deputy assistant secretary of State during the Obama administration, said Wednesday by phone.

For context: exit polls indicated 71% of Jewish people voted for Clinton, 24% for Trump.

Got to hand it to Trump. He does keep it fresh.

Been a gradual worsening in the polls over the last couple of months, mostly in terms of an increase in those who Disapprove rather than “don’t know”.

He’s still considerably above where he was in late 2017 where there was often a 16% gap between approval and disapproval.

US president reportedly asked more than once about why military could not bomb hurricanes

Those Trump reports are getting too silly!

Because he’s a dumb cunt who does stupid things

OK, but wanting to nuke hurricanes just seems a bit more newsworthy than wearing high heels.

BIG MAN NUKES HURRICANE!

Lol. Let’s make the storms radioactive as well to add to the damaging winds and flooding rains.

Besides which, his own agency NOAA actually did a study on it and reckons it won’t work.

Thirdly, there is an international ban on such uses of nuclear weapons, a treaty thought up by the USA and ratified by them.

dang, you got me there!

There is a third major candidate for the Republican Presidential Primary now: former Congressman Joe Walsh. He was a bit of a Tea Party favourite about 10 years ago, and frankly, kind of an arsehole, and is now a conservative radio host.

When announcing his candidacy, he did something of a mea culpa.

“I’m going to do whatever I can. I don’t want him (Trump) to win. The country cannot afford to have him win. If I’m not successful, I’m not voting for him.”

“I’m not trying to be cute or coy. I’ve told you before — if somebody’s going to get in there and go after him … it’s got to be done soon,” Walsh told CNN’s John Berman on “New Day.” “You’re running out of time. But more importantly, these are not conventional times. Look at the guy in the White House. These are urgent times.”
On Sunday, Walsh called Trump “nuts,” “erratic,” “cruel” and “incompetent.”

He said he voted for Trump in 2016, but only because Trump wasn’t Hillary Clinton. Where Trump lost him, Walsh said, was during the President’s news conference with Vladimir Putin at their summit last year in Helsinki, Finland, at which Trump sided with the Russian strongman over his own intelligence community’s assessments of Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

“I helped create Trump,” the Tea Party favorite told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired Sunday morning. “I feel responsible for that.”

Walsh claimed that Trump was “tweeting us into a recession” and warned that “he’ll tweet us into war.”

Stephanopoulos called out Walsh for making outlandish statements of his own, including calling former President Barack Obama a Muslim and an enemy. Walsh said Trump “made me reflect on some of the things I’ve said in the past,” acknowledging that at times he “went beyond the policies and idea” and “said some ugly things about President Obama that I regret.”

When asked if he truly believes what he said about Obama, Walsh responded, “God no, and I have apologized for that.”

——

So apart from Trump and Walsh, there is former governer Bill Weld, very much an old school Reagan-GHWBush Republican, running the Republican Presidential nomination.

Current Weld is polling at around 14%. No polls have been conducted since Walsh threw his hat into the ring.

Needless to say the chances that Trump is not the eventual nominee are very slim, but the process of seeing other Republicans running against him might ding Trump a little bit.

The Republican party has not scheduled any Primary debates and is unlikely to.

Trying to the think of the last time a sitting president faced a serious Primary challenge. I guess it was 1992, when Pat Buchanan ran against sitting president George H W Bush for the Republican nomination. Buchanan got 23% of the vote in that contest, with Bush getting 72%.

President Donald Trump claimed he has the “absolute right” to “order” US companies to stop doing business with China that would involve using his broad executive authority in a new and unprecedented way under a 1977 law.

On Friday, China unveiled a new round of retaliatory tariffs on about $75 billion worth of US goods, the latest escalation in an on-going trade war that’s putting a strain on the world’s two largest economies. In response, Trump wrote on Twitter later Friday: “Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China including bringing …your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”
When leaving the White House for the G7 summit in France, Trump told reporters, “I have the absolute right to do that, but we’ll see how it goes.” He later explained that he was referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and in a Friday tweet wrote: “For all of the Fake News Reporters that don’t have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc., try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. Case closed!”

He seems to think he can undo two decades worth of DFI by US companies in China within the soace of a few months with just a few executive orders.

I fear that if he goes through with it he will find himself removed from office very smartly. Attacking US big business is like kicking away the ladder while he is still standing on it.

1) removing the President from office by impeachment means he won’t face justice. He’ll be replaced by Pence who’ll pardon him.

There is no hunger for impeachment by the Democrat hierachy in the house when there is no chance the Republican majority in the senate won’t acquit him. Better to get rid of Trump in the election by playing to their strengths like healthcare.

True. We’ve actually had very little reports from the various congressional committees examining his background and his conduct in his campaign so I can only imagine the Democrats are holding a fair bit up their sleeve for when the time is right. If they have nothing then Trump would have to go down as one of the most stupid honest men around when he could have negated all the bad press by making his life an open book.

AwesomeO said:

Seems not. One of the things that make the impeachment hearings more likely is that there is little chance they’ll succeed. People among the progressive and/or principled Dems can make that case to Pelosi: we can hold hearings to bring more dirt to light, feeling safe that they will still be up against an unpopular president in Nov 2020.

I don’t know what’s worse: his shameless pushing of Russia’s reentry into the G8, or his lengthy promotion of his own hotel as a venue for the next G7 summit.

“Doral happens to be within Miami. It’s a city. It’s a wonderful place. It’s a very, very successful area of Florida. It’s, very importantly, only five minutes from the airport; the airport is right next door. With Doral, we have a series of magnificent buildings; we call them bungalows. They each hold from 50 to 70 very luxurious rooms with magnificent views. We have incredible conference rooms, incredible restaurants.And they’ve done a beautiful job. They’ve really done a beautiful job. The ballrooms are among the biggest in Florida and the best. It’s brand new. Having it at that particular place, because of the way it’s set up, each country can have their own villa, or their own bungalow.”

The President of the United States of America using his closing press conference at the G7 summit to spruik his fucking bungalows.

Doral also has bed bugs.

ROFL Perfect

i would not have known about Doral and the bed bugs if Trump had not brought it up. And seeing that we know Trump lies, we know there are bed bugs.

The USA does have a problem with bed bugs. It isn’t just Doral. It is a problem whereever travellers to the USA go. My sister experienced a pretty serious bed bug reaction on one of her recent cruises.

Pages of it.

Following President Donald Trump’s impassioned sales pitch for hosting the 2020 Group of Seven (G-7) summit at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, the president on Tuesday found himself defending the Trump-owned property from allegations of bed bug infestations. Despite his claim that rumors about bedbugs were part of a “Radical Left” plot to spread false information about the property, the Doral Golf Club settled a lawsuit with a patron over bed bugs just two years ago.

“No bedbugs at Doral. The Radical Left Democrats, upon hearing that the perfectly located (for the next G-7) Doral National MIAMI was under consideration for the next G-7, spread that false and nasty rumor. Not nice!” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.

But these claims are belied by a 2017 legal settlement reached between Trump’s Doral Golf Club and a New Jersey businessman who sued the establishment in 2016. In the lawsuit, Eric Linder stated that his back, face, and arms were “devoured by voracious bed bugs” while staying at the resort’s $300 per-night Jack Nicklaus villa, resulting in “welts, lumps, spots on his face, neck, and arm.

Damn. My sister only got her room changed and some compensation for the clothes they shrank while they were cleaning all of her belongings.

The Doral resort, meanwhile, is pulling in less revenue⁠— and Forbes estimates it’s worth $26 million less over the last year and a half. The resort has been in steep decline since Trump entered politics, largely because most of its clientele hail from the Northeast, where Trumpian politics are deeply unpopular.

Well, that’s a bit rude.

A number of scholars see increasing inequality arising out of neoliberal policies as a deliberate effort, rather than a consequence of ulterior motives like increasing economic growth. Marxist economic geographer David Harvey describes neoliberalism as a “class project” “carried out by the corporate capitalist class”, and argued in his book A Brief History of Neoliberalism that neoliberalism is designed to increase the class power of economic elites. Economists Gérard Duménil and Dominique Lévy posit that “the restoration and increase of the power, income, and wealth of the upper classes” are the primary objectives of the neoliberal agenda. Economist David M. Kotz contends that neoliberalism “is based on the thorough domination of labor by capital”.:43 Sociologist Thomas Volscho argues that the imposition of neoliberalism in the United States arose from a conscious political mobilization by capitalist elites in the 1970s, who faced two self-described crises: the legitimacy of capitalism and a falling rate of profitability in industry. In The Global Gamble, Peter Gowan argued that “neoliberalism” was not only a free-market ideology but “a social engineering project”. Globally, it meant opening a state’s political economy to products and financial flows from the core countries. Domestically, neoliberalism meant remaking of social relations “in favour of creditor and rentier interests, with the subordination of the productive sector to financial sectors, and a drive to shift wealth, power and security away from the bulk of the working population.”

Trump thinks Fox News isn’t doing enough to promote his presidency

President Trump took his complaints about Fox News, his biggest bastion of support on television, to a new level on Wednesday, claiming that the network “isn’t working for us anymore.”

His tweets made explicit Trump’s long-held belief that Fox belongs to him and his supporters. Despite daily cheerleading from “Fox & Friends” in the morning all the way until “The Ingraham Angle” at night, Trump suggests that the network is not sufficiently loyal to him.
“We have to start looking for a new News Outlet,” he tweeted on Wednesday, inadvertently lending credence to critics’ claims that Fox is akin to state-run TV.
In the past Trump has promoted a much smaller conservative channel, OANN, which has positioned itself as a friendlier network to Trump.

He didn’t mention OANN on Wednesday, but he seemed to be working the refs by slamming Fox for interviewing a Democratic party spokeswoman.

The network had a White House spokesman on the air just a few minutes later — but evidently that’s not good enough for Trump.

The president has lodged complaints about Fox more than a dozen times this year, oftentimes when he sees Democratic candidates and analysts on the air.
His tweets appear to be an intensifying pressure campaign to keep the network “in line,” so to speak.

Last week he also commented to members of the media that “Fox is a lot different than it used to be.” He said conspiratorially that “there’s something going on at Fox, I’ll tell you right now, and I’m not happy about it.”

rump then listed off some of his previous grievances about Fox, including the existence of Shep Smith’s 3 p.m. newscast and the presence of liberal commentators Donna Brazile and Juan Williams.

He called Fox “HOPELESS & CLUELESS” and said “they should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win – That’s what I do, Win. Too Bad! I don’t want to Win for myself, I only want to Win for the people. The New @FoxNews is letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!”

Fox News’s Neil Cavuto responds to Trump’s criticism: We don’t work for you

The assessment of former and current US intelligent agents is that the explanations for Trump’s G7 performance is that he is either a direct Russian asset or a “useful idiot”.

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/spies-react-trump-g7-summit-russian-asset-2019-8?fbclid=IwAR1_ArgYp_fX4NiwtixuWZemcIxD0PorWJa5cesx5C34DqHkLVy7nbsSUh0&r=US&IR=T

Some highlights:

John Sipher, a former CIA clandestine operative who spent 28 years at the agency, told Insider of Trump’s G7 attendance, “If it weren’t for his constant shocking behaviour and comments that have dulled our senses, this would register as one of the worst diplomatic blunders in years.”

A former senior Justice Department official, who worked closely with the former special counsel Robert Mueller when he was FBI director, didn’t mince words when reacting to Trump’s performance at the G7 summit: “We have a Russian asset sitting in the Oval Office.” “There is no fathomable explanation for why the president said these things,” the former official said. “Letting Russia off the hook for bullying smaller countries and then blaming Obama for it? It’s directly out of the Putin playbook.”

Glenn Carle, a former CIA covert operative and frequent Trump critic, told Insider there’s been “no question” in his mind for years that the president is behaving like “a spy for the Russians.”

“The evidence is so overwhelming that in my 35 years in intelligence, I have never seen anything so certain,” Carle said, adding that he’s spoken with several intelligence veterans about the matter in the four years since Trump first launched his presidential campaign, many of whom believe Trump’s actions are a threat to national security.

“Intelligence assets become convinced to be spies for multiple reasons,” Carle, who specialised in getting foreign spies to become turncoats when he was at the CIA, said in an earlier interview with Insider. “It might start with kompromat or financial hooks, and the asset may be convinced he is acting as a patriot until he becomes accustomed to his role.”

Frank Montoya Jr., a recently retired FBI special agent, told Insider “it’s hard not to think the Russians have an asset in the White House.” But he added that Trump’s erratic behaviour and his freewheeling and often false statements imply he’s “not playing with a full deck on any matter of state these days.”

“Still, those same delusions are what give me pause when conclusions are reached about the likelihood he is a Russian asset,” Montoya said. “Useful idiot is more like it.”

Robert Deitz, a former top lawyer at the CIA and the National Security Agency, agreed that Trump was catering to Putin’s interests, but he disagreed on why.

“I think what’s going on right now is an Occam’s razor scenario,” he told Insider, referring to the philosophical theory that the simplest explanation for an event is often the correct one.

“Trump wants to do deals with Russia when he leaves the presidency,” Deitz said. “We already know he was interested in building a Trump Tower in Moscow before and during the election. The best way of doing a deal with Putin is to be nice to him, so I think what Trump is doing is currying favour.”

Not directly Trump related, but Trump makes it all the more surprising, so I’ll post it here:

I learned this morning (from New Scientist) that 50 years ago there was a move in the USA to introduce a universal wage, to counter the effects of automation on the supply of jobs.

It was proposed by Richard Nixon, and voted down by the Democrats.

Nixon was not especially hard line. There would be no place for someone with his moderate, reasonable values in the modern Republican Party.

I’ll just post what I posted on the 20th anniversary of his death:

We should take the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s death to reflect on his presidential legacy.

He came to office at a time when the Vietnam War that President Kennedy started had been dangerously escalated by President Johnson, with 15000 US soldiers dying every year and a massively unpopular conscription program in place. In his first year of presidency, Nixon began winding back the involvement of US troops, with staged withdrawals following the training of South Vietnamese troops. In his first term, he ended conscription and early in his second term, the Paris Peace Accords were signed, signalling the end of military action by the USA in Vietnam.

He backed the successful Equal Rights Amendment, which put equal rights for women into the Constitution, and supported the USA’s first affirmative action program, restricting government contracts to companies that hired quotas of minorities. He abandoned the gold standard in favour of a floating fiat currency. Nixon saw federal money allocated to provide incentives for racial integration of schools. He initiated the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Health and Safety Admin and the Clean Air Act. Nixon supported legislated to broaden and strengthen Medicaid and other public health insurance initiatives.

When he was first elected, relations between China, the Soviet Union and the USA were, at best, icy, at worst, bellicose. Through personal diplomacy with Brezhnev and Mao, Nixon greatly improved these relationships and in this way made the world a safer place. He also put into place a cooperative space program between NASA and the Soviet program, which brought about the Apollo-Soyuz project.

The only thing they’ve got in common is obstruction of justice, and really Nixon is small potatoes in that regard. He obstructed justice to cover up a break-in of a hotel room, not a massive cooperation with a foreign power.

I wouldn’t call the ALP a foreign power as such but anyway they have paid their fine and it’s over and done with now.

Well Australia is certainly foreign, and the Labor Party do have some power, but I suspect dv had a different foreign power in mind.

(What did Trump get up to with the ALP btw? I’ve forgotten).

Donald Trump says he has ‘never even heard of a Category 5’ hurricane

US President Donald Trump has told officials he doesn’t think he has ever heard of a Category 5 hurricane despite four threatening the country during his presidency.

“I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category 5, I knew it existed,” he said, speaking to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

“A Category 5 is something, that I’m not even sure I’ve heard the term, other than I know it, it’s there. That’s the ultimate, and that’s what we have, unfortunately”

Four Category 5 storms – Irma, Maria, Michael and now Dorian – have hit or come close to the US since November 2016, when Mr Trump took over the White House.

He’s getting forgetful, too much rubbish coming in and out must be effecting his memories.

He will forget who he is soon and mix himself up in made up stories created from different memories.

This effect is spreading across the American Government, its in the white house now and else where Joe Biden has it, Trump has it, others have it.

It could be the Russians again, some sort of virus that randomly mixes up memories to form new stories..

It will get worse.

“We’re averaging about 300 mass shootings a year. No other country comes close, so yes, this is f***ed up,” he said.

Speaking of tomatoes….mr kii bought a large punnet of Canadian toms. We usually have Mexico or California tomatoes. Hmmmmmm

I am growing some but, it’s mainly an exercise in enjoying a garden of green things and not dead winterscapes. The garden forms a food source and a hidey space for lizards, I think a squirrel may also be snacking on them.

The tomatoes from Canadia are very tasty.

The Trump administration has begun erecting a 30-foot-high border wall that will cut through federally protected land in Arizona, despite warnings from Democratic lawmakers and activists that the new barrier and its construction could do irreparable damage to a fragile desert ecosystem. The first phase of construction in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, which runs along the southern border with Mexico, will replace a two-mile stretch of 15-foot-high fencing with structures that are twice as tall and feature large flood lights to illuminate the surrounding areas

TRUMP: “I do have a great message for Poland & we have Mike Pence, our vice president, is just about landing right now. I just want to congratulate Poland.”

You’d have to guess based on his weirdly specific reference to the number of Polish immigrants in this country, and in connection with Pence’s and his own travel plans, that the president received some sort of recent briefing about that country. Perhaps it did not occur to his staff that he needed to be reminded of what happened to Poland in the years following the German invasion that began on September 1, 1939. You know, the dismemberment of the country by the Nazis in conjunction with the USSR; the systematic murder of the Polish educated classes, a sort of warm-up act for the effort to exterminate European Jewry during the Holocaust, much of which took place on Polish soil; the incredible military and civic violence involving the Germans, the Russians, and assorted partisans that led historian Timothy Snyder to describe the area of Europe centered in Poland “the bloodlands”; and the postwar imposition of communism on Poland, along with the violent relocation of millions of the war’s survivors.

Trump was congratulating Poland on the anniversary of an event that led to the deaths of an estimated one-fifth of the nation’s prewar population, and marked the beginning of a World War in which at least 60 million people perished, including over 400,000 Americans.
Yes, I know, “congratulating” people he doesn’t know anything about is one of the president’s tics to cover his ignorance, much like his promiscuous use of modifiers like “great” or “greatest” for every phenomenon he dimly understands. But this particular example shows that the man and our nation would be better served if occasionally he just replied to some questions with: “Huh?”

This Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that requires all presidential candidates to release their tax returns before they can be featured on the state’s ballot. As The Sacramento Bee points out, California is now the first state to enact such a rule.

Earlier this month, Senate Bill 27 passed both chambers of the state legislature by party-line vote, with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting the measure and Republicans refusing to vote in its favor. Trump has so far refused to release his tax returns, making him the first presidential to not make his information public in four decades.

Democrats reassured critics that the law would be applied equally to all candidates and added that it would also require gubernatorial candidates to release their tax records. Republicans claimed the bill was unconstitutional.

Let’s face it, Trump could completely ignore the Californians, not even bother going onto the ballot in that State, and it wouldn’t make an iota of difference to his final Electoral College vote.

This Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that requires all presidential candidates to release their tax returns before they can be featured on the state’s ballot. As The Sacramento Bee points out, California is now the first state to enact such a rule.

Earlier this month, Senate Bill 27 passed both chambers of the state legislature by party-line vote, with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting the measure and Republicans refusing to vote in its favor. Trump has so far refused to release his tax returns, making him the first presidential to not make his information public in four decades.

Let’s face it, Trump could completely ignore the Californians, not even bother going onto the ballot in that State, and it wouldn’t make an iota of difference to his final Electoral College vote.

This is correct

Trump shows fake hurricane map in apparent bid to validate incorrect tweet

Trump points to map with black loop extending hurricane’s path

President made baseless claim that Alabama would be affected

To the annals of American political scandal, we must now add Sharpiegate.

 

In the Oval Office at lunchtime on Wednesday, Donald Trump held a briefing on Hurricane Dorian. At one point, the president held up a National Hurricane Center (NHC) map from 29 August, displaying the hurricane’s track and intensity.

Bizarrely, someone had apparently used a Sharpie, a kind of marker pen, to add a black loop falsely extending the hurricane’s path from Florida to Alabama. It was apparently a belated effort to justify Trump’s previous baseless claim that the latter state could be affected.

The hamfisted, homespun addition triggered uproar on social media and a frenzy of speculation over whether the president himself, or perhaps some lackey eager to impress, was responsible.

Altering official government weather forecasts is against the law.

The Federal Election Commission has lost another member, meaning it is down to 3 instead of 6. 4 is the quorum which means it can’t legally conduct “high level business” such as conducting campaign finance violations.

They reckon that the reflection of the flash on the screen and the pixel aliasing indicates that this is a photograph of display on a screen. So Don was getting a security briefing about a successful drone hit on an Iranian facility, took out his iPhone, took a snap and posted it to Twitter. It must be very demoralising working for him.

On a technical note, folks are saying that the resolution was better than the US had previously admitted to. I think the effective resolution shown here is about 1 pixel per 10 cm.

Trump Dismantling US Response To Russian Annexation Of Crimea | Rachel Maddow

Rachel Maddow looks at the four columns of the U.S. response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, sanctions, removal from the G8, military aid to Ukraine, and support to NATO, and notes that the Trump administration has worked to remove all four, most recently by seeking to take money from the European Deterrence Initiative to pay for Trump’s border wall.

What evidence is there that a drone hit this facility and that the damage did not occur, say, during a botched fueling operation?

Here’s the picture Trump tweeted:

The black rectangle in the top left corner has almost certainly been added in some form of post processing.

So really all we can say is someone took a photograph of this satellite image, manipulated that photograph to hide whatever information was displayed in the top left corner and then Trump tweeted it out.

This indicates there was an awareness by someone, somewhere in the sequence of events of not releasing information that the US government did not want released. Which in turn would suggest that previously sensitive information regarding the capability of the satellite has been released intentionally, via this tweet.

The impression you have formed of a chaotic Trump led administration is not accurate. The “orange fucker” is manipulating you and giving you a warm feeling of moral superiority whilst he does it. He’s manipulating the media and a dull, non-skeptical public fed on a diet of Rachel Maddow, The Young Turks (sorry Sarah’s Mum, but these people suck as sources of information… they really do) and main stream media are unintentionally colluding with him by buying the narrative. This thread is evidence of that.

So really all we can say is someone took a photograph of this satellite image, manipulated that photograph to hide whatever information was displayed in the top left corner and then Trump tweeted it out.

I like Rachel. She is a very well researched commentator IMO. I too am a bit skeptical about the Young Turks.

So..who is your preference for a competent media org? Who do you think I should be trusting?

So what is his endgame? He wants to go to prison? He wants to be embarrassed by a massive electoral loss?

His endgame is to complete his 4 year term and win a second four year term whilst implementing policies he feels are advantageous to the United States, then to retire from the position.

I don’t think Trump is an unusual POTUS in any regard. He’s doing the same thing any of the recent Presidents have done. He’s just using new and different methods.

Yet he is behaviing in a way that keeps his support around 40%, and commits crimes that he knows he will be prosecuted for once he leaves office. It’s hard to know how this looks in his own mind but objectively he is not acting in a way that will lead to winning a second term.

Objectively he did not act in a way that would lead to him winning a first term. Remember?

“Objectively”…….

Sorry, I thought you had been keeping up with the news. He committed the felony of obstructing justice 10 times, and instructing employees to misled federal prosecutors, which is also a felony.

He is constantly analysed as having an ego issue whilst being irrelevant and illegitimate. He is a child and a buffoon and totally unsuited as president, his election was an accident and a fluke.

That’s pretty good reasons there for an attempt at reelection, if you get it then you win, biggly. There’s no downside for him really, he has already done what many thought impossible, to do it again would elevate him to undeniable legitimacy.

I’m sorry, I should have been more clear. What crimes do you think Trump will be put on trial for at the completion of his term?

Indeed, on the face of it, he has much better reason to want to be reelected than the average President.

There’s one way out of it, which would be to resign now and let Pence pardon him, but that would probably not be in keeping with his personality.
