It was a Derp and Stormy Start to the 68th Week.

There was plenty of Derp splashed around, none of it 'Normal' nothing about the Porto Ricans suddenly winning the lottery and moving to Birmingham, AL for a better life, or the Clean Fresh Water of Flint ($1.99/ltr).

I have to ask, why is KAC a thing?

‘Giuliani is just talking about a different world that people can’t relate to’: Watch MSNBC panelists explain how payouts could play badly with average Americans

NBC reporter Julia Ainsley said that Giuliani created “more damage” by mentioning the other payments.

“That’s just more breadcrumbs for us all to follow,” she said.

Justice Department Rolls Out Quotas For Immigration Judges
"To get a "satisfactory" rating on their performance evaluations, judges will be required to clear at least 700 cases a year and to have fewer than 15 percent of their decisions overturned on appeal."

I didn't read of any pay hikes.
 
MSNBC’s Ruhle stunned by bombshell Trump cash report: ‘Where on earth did the money come from?’

When discussing a bombshell Washington Post report by journalist David Farenthold about Donald Trump’s $400 million buying spree, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle was puzzled by the influx of cash to the self-described “king of debt.”

Eric Trump told the Post that banks were lined up to lend to the Trump Organization during its “buying spree” in which the company paid for 14 properties in full in the decade leading up to the 2016 election. But Ruhle, a finance industry veteran, noted that his claim doesn’t match up to reality.

“Deutsche Bank, where I worked previously, from the institutional side of the bank had lent the Trump Organization money, and Trump came back to them wanting to borrow more money. Again, placing a value of something like $1 billion on the Trump brand name, and they laughed at it,” the host recounted. “He was forced to go to the private bank side.”

“How could Eric Trump possibly say this was a business decision, that everyone wanted to lend them money?” Ruhle mused. “There’s no evidence of that.”

“Where on earth did they get the cash from?” the host asked Farenthold, who responded that he and his reporting team only know what the Trump son relayed to them — that they made enough on other business ventures to purchase the properties in cash in spite of reports about the company’s borrowing habits.

Fox and Friends host tells Gina Haspel to be ‘proud’ of torture at secret prison

“Fox and Friends” host Brian Kilmeade says Gina Haspel, President Trump’s nominee to become Director of the CIA, should be “proud” of the waterboarding and torture that she oversaw while running a secret prison in Thailand.

Rather than trying to run away from her record or to conceal the actions, many still classified, of the CIA in the Bush years, Kilmeade and his co-hosts Monday morning encouraged Haspel to put it all on the table and stand by with pride, as The Hill reports.

Haspel’s confirmation hearing before the Senate on Wednesday is “all going to be about what happened regarding the waterboarding,” co-host Steve Doocy said (video below.) “Just keep in mind, whatever she did when she was in power at that point, she was doing it as a directive and it was all within the law.”

While it was a directive, that does not make it legal.

Is torture a war crime or a crime against humanity? I forget. :confused:

I used to live on the border near Ft Huachuca (hwa-CHOO-kah) Arizona where, among other activities, the US Army trains interrogators. I recall more than one experienced US Army interrogator saying torture was quite unreliable and produced little if any actionable information. How much actionable information have CIA torturers obtained? How can we know?

If Mr Kilmeade is in favor of torture then he won't mind being tortured himself, will he? Get the hot needles ready.

Obama just fact-checked Trump with a scathing criticism of his decision to violate the Iran nuclear deal

Former President Barack Obama responded almost immediately to Donald Trump’s decision to violate the Iran nuclear deal by fact-checking the president’s reasoning for pulling out of the agreement.

“Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven to be divisive,” the 44th president wrote on Facebook. “So it’s important to review several facts about the [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action].”

‘How the f*ck did Avenatti find out?’: New York Times, NBC News back up Stormy Daniels’ lawyer on Cohen claim

he news that Donald Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen received $500,000 from Russia oligarch Viktor Vekselberg after the 2016 presidential election did not come from the New York Times, NBC News, or any traditional news outlet—though most major publications were able to corroborate that report.

Instead, the source of the day’s bombshell came from Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, who tweeted out an “executive summary” Tuesday afternoon—a fact that reportedly stunned sources.

Michael Avenatti to CNN’s Anderson Cooper: ‘Michael Cohen should not have been selling access to the president’

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, broke news today when he released information that claimed Michael Cohen accepted payments over an eight month period from a company with strong Russian ties.

In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Avenatti delved into why this new information is imperative in his case.

Cooper pointed out that Cohen has the “ear of the president” and Avenatti suggested that he could have been “selling access” to President Trump.

CNN reached out to Cohen and have not heard back yet.

“I have yet to hear an explanation from Michael Cohen as to why a personal attorney to the President of the United States who at the time was employed by the Trump organization would be accepting payments from a Russian oligarch to a tune of half a million dollars,” Avenatti said.

Avenatti also said that if Cohen turns over his bank statements the situation could clear up quickly, but he is doubtful that would ever happen.

Shep Smith scolds Fox guest for saying Trump ‘pulled out’ of Iran deal: No, ‘we are going to violate’ it

Fox News anchor, Shep Smith, wants to ensure there is clarity around the Iran Deal breaking news.

President Trump announced Tuesday morning that the U.S. will no longer participate in the Iran Deal.

However, when sources used the term “pulled out” Smith was quick to scold and correct them.

While interviewing, Jon Alterman, a former statement department staff member, he said that President Trump did not “pull out” of the deal but simply “violated” its terms.

“The deal didn’t have a provision for withdrawal, we are willfully violating,” Alterman clarified.

I agree with BHO, "What a Dumb Ass!" or words to that effect. :)

Extremely graphic article in the NYT this morning, the wife of an anti-Qaddaffi Islamist was captured and sent to Haspel's Thailand torture center. The wife was 7 months pregnant at the time.

The torturers concentrated on her swollen belly. They beat her midsection. She didn't know anything. The baby was delivered prematurely. I weighed 4 pounds.

Haspel managed these people.
 
Trump’s CIA pick won’t say whether torture is immoral — but Kamala Harris refuses to let her wriggle off the hook

Sen. Harris drilled down on the morality of torture, a line of questioning that had been pursued earlier in the hearing by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM).

“So one question I have not heard you answer is, ‘do you believe that the previous interrogation techniques were immoral?'” Harris asked. “It’s a ‘yes or no’ answer.”

“Senator, I believe that CIA did extraordinary work to prevent another attack on this country giving the legal tools we were authorized to use,” Haspel replied.

“Please answer yes or no,” Harris repeated. “Do you believe in hindsight that those techniques were immoral?”

Haspel never answered. What a cunt!
 
It’s now a fact that Russians have compromising material on Trump: columnist

s recently as last week, the president and his Republican allies were hiding behind the claim that “no evidence of collusion” had been found in the Russia investigation.

That argument was undermined on Tuesday, as first attorney Michael Avenatti and later the New York Times and Washington Post reported that Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen had accepted Russian-linked money as a “consultant” for a secretive shell company he then used to pay hush money to the president’s mistress, and possibly others.

Late last night, New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait gave some context to this massive development.

“The possible reasons for this arrangement run from brazenly corrupt to far worse,” he writes.

Even if we buy the official story, that this was a “consulting fee” paid to Cohen,” it’s “hardly a benign explanation,” he writes.

“For all the speculation about the existence of the pee tape, the latest revelations prove what is tantamount to the same thing,” he writes. “Russia could leverage the president and his fixer… by threatening to expose secrets they were desperate to keep hidden.”

Trump claims everybody wants him to have Nobel Prize: ‘Everyone thinks so but I would never say it’

President Donald Trump on Wednesday asserted that “everyone” thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize over his negotiations with North Korea, but he added that “I would never say it.”

After North Korea released three American prisoners on Wednesday, Trump was asked by reporters if he was deserving of the Nobel prize.

“Everyone thinks so but I would never say it,” the president chuckled in response.

No, it is not yet a fact, it is an hypothesis. It's very possibly true but could also be wishful thinking. We shall see. Maybe.

But what happens if it's true? What could the "compromising material" be? Not just a pee tape, but proof Tromp owes Putin big-time? Proof that Tromp offered Putin certain US gov't (in)actions? Will a Gup congress turn on their God-Emperor? Can a military coup happen? [shudder] Can anything good happen?

Just another distraction. The Koreas and China are working out their deals without Tromp. Kim is back in Beijing right now, 2nd visit in a month, inconceivable! Tromp expects a prize? Ha.

Tromp threatens DPRK and is stepped around. Tromp breaks Iran treaty but rest of the world sticks to it. Tromp drops out of TPP and Paris treaties, then wants back in, but rest of world says, feh. Moral: USA is a paper tiger.
 
Well, they are right in that Trump didn't withdraw from the agreement--he put the United States in the position of openly violating an agreement it signed. Why would any country think the United States would adhere to anything else it signed? (Unless, of course, the United States dumps Trump and says "Sorry about that little unfortunate un-American mistake" to the world.)
 
Europe licks wounds as Saudi Arabia and Israel hail Trump on Iran

A source close to Saudi policymakers said Washington and Riyadh, Iran’s main regional rival, had been discussing the 2015 nuclear deal “for some time” before Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States was pulling out of it.

The source said it was “obvious” from the Crown Prince’s talks with Trump in the White House on March 20 and a visit to Riyadh a month later by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that there had been a “coordination” of positions.

“We were for it and we worked on it,” another Saudi source said of Riyadh’s diplomacy.

Also celebrating is Israel, another of Iran’s enemies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled what he said was evidence of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program on April 30.

Most of the purported evidence Netanyahu presented dated to the period before the 2015 accord was signed, although he said Iran had also kept important files on nuclear technology since then, and continued adding to its “nuclear weapons knowledge”.

Tehran dismissed Netanyahu as “the boy who cried wolf”, and called his presentation propaganda.

John McCain reveals why he gave the Steele dossier to the FBI — and why he’d ‘do it again’

In a new excerpt of Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) memoir published in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, the senator reveals how he got his hands on the now-infamous Steele dossier that claimed President Donald Trump has been completely compromised by the Russian government.

According to McCain, it was a retired British diplomat — former U.K. ambassador to Russia Andrew Wood — who gave him a copy of Steele’s dossier, which he compiled throughout 2016 as part of his work with private intelligence firm Fusion GPS.

McCain says that he could not independently verify any of the allegations contained in the dossier — but he was nonetheless disturbed enough by them to pass them on to then-FBI Director James Comey.

“I had an obligation to bring to the attention of appropriate officials unproven accusations I could not assess myself and which, were any of them true, would create a vulnerability to the designs of a hostile foreign power,” McCain writes. “I discharged that obligation, and I would do it again. Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell.”

Trump issues disaster declaration for Hawaii volcano damage

Maybe Porto Rico should have had a volcano, rather that a hurricane?

President Trump on Friday approved a disaster declaration for Hawaii as the state deals with damage from a volcanic eruption on its largest island.

The White House announced Friday night that federal funding had been approved for local recovery efforts in the area affected by the Kilauea volcanic eruption and earthquakes that began early last month.

"Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments," the White House added in a statement.

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) head Brock Long has named deputy Federal Coordinating Officer Willie Nunn as FEMA's top official for the state's relief work, according to the announcement.

The Kilauea Volcano, which began erupting more than a week ago, has destroyed at least 36 structures so far including 27 homes, according to CBS News. The volcano is the youngest and most active on the Big Island.

Hawaii Gov. David Ige (D) signed a request for a presidential disaster declaration on Wednesday, stating in a press release that a larger-scale evacuation may be necessary as the eruption develops.

“As more fissures open and toxic gas exposure increases, the potential of a larger scale evacuation increases. A mass evacuation of the lower Puna District would be beyond current county and state capabilities, and would quickly overwhelm our collective resources,” Ige said.

The impeachment of Donald Trump: Is it really coming? Republicans definitely think so

On Thursday night in Indiana, President Trump made another one of his "jokes" about extending his presidency beyond eight years. He was talking about how he had wanted to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and was told that might take 10 years.

It's not the first time he has alluded to staying in office past 2024. (It goes without saying, in his world, that he will be re-elected in 2020.) Speaking before a group of GOP donors last March he talked about Chinese president Xi Jinping saying, "He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot someday."

Last month Jonathan Martin of the New York Times reported that Trump's advisers had finally gotten through to him that the House was in serious jeopardy of falling into Democratic hands in the midterms -- and that impeachment was on the table, which would naturally galvanize him since the only thing that matters to Trump is Trump. But the strategy is really about motivating Republicans who have been showing less enthusiasm for the election throughout the first year of the administration.

The thinking goes that if Trump is threatened the party will rally to save him, because he's much more popular than the GOP leaders in Congress. Midterm elections are always seen as a referendum on the president these days anyway, so Republicans are counting on their rabid Trump base to come out and support their man.

This exhortation from NRA TV makes the point clearly:

""If we lose this election, make absolutely no mistake. If we lose the House, @realDonaldTrump will in fact, be impeached. There's no question about it. It's time for us to protect the crown." —@dbongino #IngrahamAngle"

Damn, I sold my popcorn futures!

Nonetheless, Democrats would be foolish to try to pretend that Donald Trump's metastasizing scandals don't exist at all. They have voters too -- who are motivated and energized in opposition to everything Trump is and everything he does. They've taken to the streets in massive numbers. They've organized grassroots groups all over the country. They've run for office. They've and created and enlarged mass movements around progressive issues. Indeed, they've done everything citizens can do short of revolution to oppose this president. The Democrats will have to respond in some way to this demand that Trump be opposed rather than appeased.

But they don't need to run on impeachment. They can simply address the fact that the Republican leadership in Congress is refusing to exercise its constitutional duty of oversight, and promise that they will hold public hearings and get to the bottom of what happened in 2016. In other words, they should promise to do the job they are signing up for -- and promise to let the chips fall where they may.
