THe 107th Week of Russian Complicity

[JackLuis]

After the disaster that was the 106th week ofDonald Dick, spelunker and shit grifter, we get this:

Russia collusion: Here’s one more piece of evidence that Putin has Trump in his back pocket

According to a report at the Washington Post, Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely happy with President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the INF treaty.

On Saturday morning, Putin announced that he had suspended the Cold War-era Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty after the United States said it would withdraw from the arms control pact and accused Moscow of violations.

An analysis by the Post claims that Trump played into the Kremlin’s hands and allowed Putin to fulfill a dream he has had for years.

It’s not just Putin — Trump is Mitch McConnell’s puppet too

We don’t need to tell regular readers of This Fresh Hell that immediately upon taking office, Trump surrounded himself with a mix of GOP establishment types, corporate lobbyists and crooks, flaunted ethics rules and hamstrung government watchdogs and since then has basically presided over a kleptocracy. He didn’t promise to drain the swamp into his cronies’ offshore tax havens, but that’s where we are.

But according to Matthew Glassman, an expert on government affairs at Georgetown University, Trump’s betrayal of his base runs much deeper than most of us realized. While “many observers have concluded that Mr. Trump dominates the Republican Party, and his loyal base holds congressional Republicans tautly in line,” wrote Grossman in The Washington Post, the truth is that Congressional Republicans have played Trump like a fiddle.

Trumpski is too dumb to see that Mitch is the one in charge of Policy and General Fuckery.

Foreign bank denied Trump a massive loan during the 2016 campaign fearing he would win and then default: report

PeeResident Donald Trump sought — and was denied — a loan worth tens of millions during the 2016 presidential campaign, The New York Times reported Saturday.

Trump is a purported billionaire, but has refused to release his tax returns, so the degree of his wealth remains in doubt.

During the campaign, the newspaper said he “was burning through cash.”

“It was early 2016, and he was lending tens of millions of dollars to his presidential campaign and had been spending large sums to expand the Trump Organization’s roster of high-end properties,” The Times explained. “To finance his business’s growth, Mr. Trump turned to a longtime ally, Deutsche Bank, one of the few banks still willing to lend money to the man who has called himself ‘The King of Debt.'”

Due to his reputation for declaring bankruptcy and defaulting on debt, American banks had largely refrained from extending him credit.

SMRT them Germans!

Trumpski is too dumb to see that Mitch is the one in charge of Policy and General Fuckery.

I'd think that Mitch was more self-aware than to have a puppet this much out of Republican control.

Further evidence that the legend that Trump is a billionaire is a myth. One reason, I think, for not sharing his financials would be that they show he's never had more money than he owed and was trying to avoid repaying.

And who did the Germans on sell nearly all of that debt to? Not Russian banks surely! That would mean the Russians owned Trump and have done for years - Couldn't possibly be true - could it?

And McConnell is a total hick. Pelosi not only smacked Trumps ass, she showed that McConnell was Trump's tool. History could well say Pelosi achieved the abandonment of the shutdown but much more importantly, she re-established the position of Congress as an equal partner in a tripartite system of Congress, Judiciary, and Executive. Trump hasn't quite grasped that lesson yet but he will when GOP Senators start to desert him and McConnell.

We can only HOPE!

Nancy Pelosi showed us "that McConnell was Trump's tool." Seriously?

You are implying that we didn't know beforehand that a Republican president was going to work closely with a Republican Senate Majority Leader? Speaker Pelosi had to show us this? I can't help but wonder if Nancy might have also showed us back in 2009 "that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was Democrat President Obama's tool?" Or did Senate Majority Leader Reid ever disagree with Barack Obama, even just ONE TIME? - and tell him "NO, I'm NOT going to give you what you want!"

"History could well say Pelosi achieved the abandonment of the shutdown but much more importantly, she re-established the position of Congress as an equal partner in a tripartite system of Congress, Judiciary, and Executive."

First of all, it was President Trump who actually ended the shutdown. Nancy Pelosi had NO way of doing so without first agreeing to fund the border wall (which she declined to do), meaning that President Trump might now use his presidential emergency powers to order it built without her consent!

Secondly, what "tripartite system" re-established by Nancy Pelosi are you making reference to? - I've never heard of such a thing! Yes, our triparte system of government includes the Executive, Legislative, & Judicial branches. Speaker Pelosi is ONLY in charge of HALF of the Legislative branch (e.g. the House of Representatives). President Trump heads the Executive branch, the U.S. Supreme Court tops the Judicial branch, and Mitch McConnell is in charge of the other half of the Legislative branch (the U.S. Senate)! Ms. Pelosi re-established nothing that wasn't already there!

Journalist explains why everyone should doubt Trump’s Super Bowl interview

Freelance journalist Laura Bassett on Sunday warned Super Bowl-watchers not fall for President Donald Trump’s pregame interview because she said it was filled with “a lot of ignorance and a lot of lies.”

In an interview that aired on CBS before Sunday’s big game, Trump said that he had seen “Mueller’s report” on the 2016 election and that it did not link his campaign to Russia. In fact, special counsel Robert Mueller has not released his report and so it’s unlikely that the president has read it.

T'was ever thus, Lies and ignorance miixed with word salad and Russian Dressing!

Lots of Russian dressing.

Foundations of Geopolitics by Alekander Dugin is a basic building block to Russia thinking 20 years ago on how the country should move forward. It has been a damn road map with him even going into detail about how Ukraine was the most important problem and should be tackled first to restore regional dominance. That was followed up by this beautiful little nugget.

Within the United States itself, there is a need for the Russian special services and their allies "to provoke all forms of instability and separatism within the borders of the United States (it is possible to make use of the political forces of Afro-American racists)" (248). "It is especially important," Dugin adds, "to introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements -- extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics"

Check out a film call Active Measures for more information on Russian's involvement in the Ukraine and the lead up to 2016 here in the states.

So, why wasn't it funded and construction started in '17 or '18 when the w(R)ongs had full control? You really don't think a plan was hatched after the November '18 shellacking of the Rs to try and embarrass Aunt Nan?

Angry Super Bowl fans lash out at ‘racist’ Trump after he promotes New England Patriots in CBS pregame interview

President Donald Trump’s “Face the Nation” interview on Sunday had a particular clip that aired a few hours before the Super Bowl. In the interview segment, Trump was asked about football and the specifics about what he thinks will happen during the game.

The president sang the praises of the owner of the team and Tom Brady. He then agreed that the New Orleans Saints were robbed from the championship game.

Trumpski takes heat for "general bumfuckery", but Brady better get alot more accurate in the second half! The first half he was not very accurate.

‘All lies’: NYTimes columnist Charles Blow walks through Trump’s forgery of being a rich and successful businessman

New York Times columnist Charles Blow crushed the president for creating a reality for the world to see, while behind the scenes it’s nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

The CNN panel discussion addressed the unbelievable fundraising President Donald Trump has done in his first to years in office. Most presidents don’t begin to fundraise until it gets closer to the election. Trump began fundraising as soon as possible.

“I believe it underscores the lie he told the first time around, right?” Blow told CNN host Ana Cabrara. “‘I don’t need money! I’m rich! I can do this.’ We found out in recent reporting that, no, he was broke and going to Deutsche Bank because he was giving the campaign so much money that he did not have. It was costing him money, limiting his projects.”

Cabrara noted that Trump has now begun asking supporters for money, despite claiming that he could fund his campaign with the $3 billion he says that he’s worth.

Blow goes on to show the lie's the liar has been telling so long he believes them At least until the Accountant comes in.

Interestingly, Chris Christy was on Colbert to hype his book, and looks like he's trying to be an alternative to Trumpski Part II. Which other Republicans will signal their willingness to buck Trumpski 2020?

 

[ishtat]

You are implying that we didn't know beforehand that a Republican president was going to work closely with a Republican Senate Majority Leader?

You need to go back and study some Congressional history. It is only in recent years that the Senate in particular under the influence of the likes of Gingrich, Cheney, Boehner, and Mc Connell has bent the knee in subservience to the Presidency.

Historically, both houses of Congress have valued their own independence, and in the past Congressional leadership frequently contradicted a fellow party man, even if he was in the White House. There are already signs that the GOP in Congress is getting fed up with DT . Those rumblings will continue and increase.

Chairman Channel Surf Spends Days Watching His Stories, Eating BonBons


https://assets.rbl.ms/19143136/980x.png

The orange blocks represent the hours that laggard spends sprawled on the tanning bed scarfing hamberders, we guess. Oh, sorry, we mean that's Executive Time, where he parks his haunches on the divan and exercises his thumbs by live tweeting the Craven Coven of the Curvy Couch.

Some White House aide helpfully leaked three months of Commander Couch Potato's internal schedule to Axios, and SPOILER ALERT the guy never works. Raise your hand if you'd like a job where you don't have shit to do before 11AM. And don't worry about commuting, because you can just wander downstairs and have people wave cartoons under your nose for a couple minutes, after they've been strictly warned not to say anything that contradicts your deeply held, entirely uninformed opinions.

"Trump does review briefing materials, at least if you make it a point to have him do so," said a former senior White House official who has direct knowledge of Trump's reading habits. "But only if you talk and guide him through it as he's reading."

"You have to help him with the long words."

 

[JackLuis]

Trump’s need for ‘executive time’ is like planning for a newborn’s play schedule:

“What he’s doing now is yes, some of it is simply watching television,” he said. He added that the Axios report revealed that Trump’s executive time “matches nicely with some of his more famous Twitter storm over the last few months,” and noted they occurred when Trump has “less supervision.”

“I am not trying to be glib or cheeky here but it does seem like you’ve got to treat Donald Trump with kid gloves and I am not the first person to say that,” she continued, noting that “many of his aides” say the same. “Bob Corker basically called it an adult daycare.”

Who changes his bib after burderders and diet cokes?

‘Trump’s presidency is hanging by a thread’: Conservative writer reveals the president’s true weakness

President Donald Trump loves polls when they’re in his favor, but in recent weeks especially, they have not been his friend.

After imposing a disastrous and pointless government shutdown, Trump was pummeled in the polls, leading him to retreat. Now, polls show that his “plan B” to get funds for his promised border wall — declare a national emergency — is also deeply unpopular, indicating it could do even more damage to his standing than the shutdown did.

Americans disapprove of the plan in a stark 66 percent to 34 percent split, according to CBS. Even among Republicans, approval for the plan only stands a 73 percent — a strong majority, to be sure, but an indication that even a significant chunk of his base would be put off by the move.

At his weight, a thread doesn't stand a chance of making 112th week.

Chris Christie was on TDS last week talking about how he prepped Trump for debates while playing golf because that was infinitely more effective than a meeting. Dude is going to do down in history as the most corrupt, ignorant, traitorous, ass-hat president in history, now we can add laziest.

Trump broke the law requiring he send the budget to Congress by Monday

Many have alleged that President Donald Trump has broken laws. However, by close of business Monday, Trump official broke the law requiring the president send a budget to Congress.

According to Roll Call, the first Monday in February is “legally the deadline for sending a president’s budget to Congress.” That deadline came and went, and the site noted that no one seems to care.

Budget, schmudgt, Trumpski don't need no stinking Budget!

PeeResident was busy with his Executive Tasks, and by the way, New Lotion in the throne room please!

This is the week that the prosecutors are seriously going to go after the corrupt moron's inaugural committee, taking in a record amount of cash, much of it from foreign bribers (which will bring us back to Russian collusion--we are going there from soooo many angles); delivering a Mickey Mouse production; and then failing to account for where most of the money went. So many ways to take this corrupt moron down and to establish foreign briber and controller connections.
