Deception

Deception

Sure, the cameras were clicking and whirring, while Tonald Drump (Drumpf) held up a piece of paper with his signature on it.

But, what were we looking at ?

Tonald Drump (Drumpf), has a habit of making asides, that cannot be clearly heard. News media always lists them as "unintelligible, and "incomprehensible."

When he had his moment in the Oval office, to sign his infamous tax bill, the words "only partial" were part of his speech.



Donald Trump got that ‘win’ that he was so desperate for - that stinking, steaming froth of manure, snake oil and grand theft known as the ‘Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’ has been signed into law.

(While Democrats tirelessly scoop water out of a sinking ship, the Republicans endlessly work at carving holes in the hull.)

President Donald Trump signed a temporary spending bill into law on Friday to avert a government shutdown after the Republican-led Congress did the bare minimum in a sprint toward the holidays and punted disputes on immigration, health care and the budget to next year.

The measure had passed the House on Thursday on a 231-188 vote over Democratic opposition and then cleared the Senate, 66-32, with Democrats from Republican-leaning states providing many of the key votes.

Tonald Drump's desired outcome for the United States of America

(Republican mogwai/gremlins are screetching with joy. Their manifesto demands that the nation of America be torn down.)

"You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you’ll have a [chuckles], you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great.”

(The tragedy of the 9/11 Twin Towers in NYC was very good for Tonald Drump's empire.)

Donald Trump's 2014 political predictions

gsgs comment- At the beginning of the show, they are discussing the Democrats defending Obamacare. That is where Tonald Drump's quote kicks in.

What would happen if the economy crashed ?

Trump Says Putin Contacted Him in November 2013

In a Fox & Friends telephone interview, Trump talks about Vladimir Putin: “When I went to Russia with the Miss Universe pageant, he contacted me and was so nice. And, you know, I mean the Russian people were so fantastic to us. I can say this. They are doing — they’re outsmarting us at many turns.”

The Trump tax plan that was just signed by Tonald Drump (Drumpf)


Republican policies in the ’20s instead pushed to concentrate more of the income at the top. Nine decades later, Republicans are rushing to do it again — and they are sprinting toward an economic cliff. Another round of Government of the People, by the Republicans, for the super-rich will be catastrophic. The American people must call a halt before it’s too late.

Rebellion Among Democrats

Along the way, Trump basically admitted that the GOP's talking points on the (Trump tax plan) bill weren't exactly honest in two major ways

While talking about the corporate tax rate being cut from 35 percent to 21 percent, Trump said, “That's probably the biggest factor in our plan.”

The problem? Republicans have been selling this legislation as a middle-class tax cut, first and foremost.

Trump's second admission was about the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate being repealed in the bill. Apparently eager to argue that this constituted him having cut taxes and slew Obamacare in one fell swoop (after Congress came up short on Obamacare this year), he argued that repealing the individual mandate was basically the same as repealing Obamacare.

But, he said, he told Republicans not to talk about that. Trump said he told allies to “be quiet with the fake news media because I don't want them talking too much about it.”

“Now that it's approved, I can say that,” he said.

ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE GOP'S CIVIL WAR

"a small but influential band of Republicans, not yet called NeverTrumpers, were warning that he was an authentic global menace. One august figure on the Right, the Post columnist George Will, renounced the Republican party in June 2016, declaring himself unable to witness its submission to Trump.


Whatever mistakes they made in their time of devotion, they have emerged as the best exegetes of the conservative god that failed. No one else understands it so well—its means, its ends, its methods, its costs. “The problem with the devil’s bargain is that the devil never delivers,” Frum says. “That’s the point of the story.”


http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a14428464/gop-never-trump/

Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Donald Trump celebrate the passage of the GOP tax bill by being in close physical proximity all at once

("It is true that there are a few conservatives of note who are still what used to be called “NeverTrump.” The bigger ones — David Frum, Anne Applebaum, Jennifer Rubin, et alia — were profiled last week at Esquire..")


It wasn’t just pundits who praised Trump from an anti-Trump perspective; so did mainstream Republican politicians with a reputation for independence (that is, raised pinkies). GOP heartthrob Tom Cotton, for example, who occasionally slaps Trump’s wrist for his crudities, did a tweetstorm (on Christmas Eve, yet!) about how Trump’s immigration crackdowns, plainly racist and frequently judged by courts to be illegal, were in fact all-American: “It’s not a ‘nativist view’ to say immigration policy should be crafted to benefit American citizens, not foreigners,” wrote Cotton. “Slandering ‘white working-class Americans’ with that term is an example of the closed thinking that helped Trump win.


Yes, the old This Is Why Trump Won shtick — not just a fallback for lazy mainstream media editors scared of looking biased, but also something conservatives can sputter when their defenses of Trump get too embarrassing even for them; Trump may be disgustingly, obviously crooked, and no more patriotic than a hungry jackal in a field of dead soldiers, but he sure did win an election. The question is, with conservatives telling him every day that his new clothes look fantastic despite the polls, can he win any others — and what happens to them when he doesn’t?

ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE GOP'S CIVIL WAR

"a small but influential band of Republicans...

That small band are no longer Gups, and no longer influential, if they ever were. Tromp has taken from them the gutz of the operation they formerly mouthpieced. These were the 'reasonable' Gup enablers who didn't much fact-check or object as Rush, Sean, Alex, Ann, et al spewed their lying filth.

Now their asses have been handed to them. Boo fucking hoo. Excuse me if I don't play a sad tune. [/me sets aside fiddle] How many of the 'intellectuals' amongst them receive paychecks from NYTimes and WaPo? And they expect Tromp's Gups to pay them any heed? Fucking braindead...

The Gups' only "civil war" is fight over which factions get Tromp's pissed-off base (a dying demographic) AND corporate bucks needed to run campaigns. And the war is over. Corporate has already won. Gups fucked the base, who won't notice immediately, duh.

It's all about retaining power. Gups have it now, by a fluke, and are taking the opportunity to restructure Amerikkka in deeply unpopular ways. Their shit would normally be somewhat undone when Dums retake power. Gups, knowing they can't win free and fair elections, will do all they can to keep Dums out. Forever. You think democracy has been destroyed? Just wait.

Rotten, through and throughout


The founders of Fusion GPS are not happy. They are not happy with Republicans in Congress, they are not happy with Donald Trump, and they are particularly unhappy that their testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee has not been released in spite of their request that the transcript be made public.

And so they took to the New York Times op-ed pages today to tell all of us about how Republicans are selectively leaking parts of their testimony to make them look bad while refusing to investigate Trump's crooked business history, particularly when it comes to his associations with Russian money launderers.

"We suggested investigators look into the bank records of Deutsche Bank and others that were funding Mr. Trump’s businesses," principals Glenn R. Simpson and Peter Fritsch wrote. "Congress appears uninterested in that tip: Reportedly, ours are the only bank records the House Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed."

"We told Congress that from Manhattan to Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., and from Toronto to Panama, we found widespread evidence that Mr. Trump and his organization had worked with a wide array of dubious Russians in arrangements that often raised questions about money laundering. "
