Trump isn’t a president, he’s a gangster

The FBI had to wiretap mafia bosses like John Gotti and Vincent “The Chin” Gigante to catch them breaking the law. All they had to do to catch Donald Trump on Wednesday night was turn on ABC News. Trump proceeded to commit multiple felonies out in the open on national television when he told George Stephanopoulos he would be happy to accept dirt on his opponent from foreign governments in his 2020 re-election campaign.

Pelosi had a chance on Thursday at her weekly press conference to tell the world that Trump is an out and out felon, and we’re going to impeach him starting today. Instead, she called Mitch McConnell the Grim Reaper and put up a poster showing a cemetery filled with the headstones of the bills he hasn’t passed.

The next time Trump has Stephanopoulos over to the Oval Office for a lecture on the Way the World Works, he’s going to call off the election, turn to the camera and say, now what are you going to do?

Impeach him? Is it even a question anymore? If not now, when?

As long as "Nasty Nancy", as Trumpstain calls her, continues to dither about this nightmare will continue.

Trump just gave Don McGahn a reason to testify to Congress — ‘’and it won’t be good for the president’: CNN analyst

During a panel discussion on Donald Trump’s latest attacks on former White House counsel Don McGahn — accusing him of lying to special counsel Robert Mueller to make himself look good — a CNN analyst suggested the president may come to regret his comments.

Speaking with CNN fill-in host Alex Marquardt, every member of the panel said there was no way that McGahn would lie while under oath when he spoke with Justice Department officials.

Former CIA analyst Phil Mudd then joined the pile-on adding, “I left government years ago. If the CIA told me I couldn’t testify — If the White House tells Don McGahn he can’t testify — if I were him I would say you just impugned my integrity.”

“I think McGahn is going to appear publicly at some point and it won’t go well for the president,’ he warned.

The Trumpski was on a roll and didn't think McGahn would roll over for Congress! DOn't think Trumpski, just do you and see how long the Senate takes to convict!

Trump’s hamfisted attempt to wag the dog with Iran unraveled fast

We can’t say with any certainty that Iran wasn’t behind the attacks on two ships in the Gulf of Oman this week, but it is clear that the Trump regime’s account of what happened unraveled very quickly. Shortly after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released a video of a small vessel removing something Pompeo said was a mine from the damaged port side of one of the ships, the vessel’s owner said that it had actually been struck on its starboard side, above the waterline, by a flying object. If this were in fact an effort to pull a Gulf of Tonkin, then the fact that this was the best dog-wagging they could conjure up would be downright pathetic.

Also included in the article is a list of other Trumpinista fuckups!

Trump’s ‘devastating’ internal polls are a red flag that he’s doomed in 2020: political analyst

Doomed, Doomed I say, as do the polls!

On Saturday, The Nation writer John Nichols told MSNBC that President Donald Trump’s new internal polls showing him losing key states are “devastating” — and show why his path to re-election may be slipping out of his grasp.

“I would just emphasize these polls are more than a wake-up call. They’re pretty devastating numbers,” said Nichols. “We can get excited about a close race in Texas or even some good numbers out of Florida. But remember that for Donald Trump, the key is the Great Lakes states.”

Mitch McConnell takes checks from voting machine lobbyists — even as he blocks election security bills

“The only logical conclusion is that Senator McConnell wants American elections to be vulnerable to hackers and foreign interference,” Wyden said. “It is unconscionable for Republicans to stick their heads in the sand and do nothing after what happened in 2016. If Congress doesn’t act, it’s only a matter of time before hackers successfully interfere again.”

The two largest voting machine vendors in the U.S., Election Systems & Software (ES&S) and Dominion Voting Systems, together supply more than 80% of the nation’s voting machines. The companies have operated extensive lobbying operations in states for years, and both companies recently hired new lobbyists to represent them at the federal level.

The greatest danger to American Democracy is a chinless ass hole from Kentucky. The DNC should take aim at this anus and make sure he is defeated in 2020!

Trump moves to take unchecked power: Article II of the Constitution ‘allows me to do whatever I want'

President Donald Trump insisted in a recent interview that he chose not to “go around firing everybody” during the Russia investigation because it did not “work out too well” for President Richard Nixon, who resigned from office. He also said that the U.S. Constitution allows him to do “whatever I want.”

GOP leaders in open warfare with Trump’s White House as another government shutdown looms

According to a report in the Washington Post, GOP leaders are at an impasse with the White House on future budget concerns as President Donald Trump’s chief of staff — which is leading to fears of another government shutdown.

The report states, “GOP leaders have spent months cajoling President Trump in favor of a bipartisan budget deal that would fund the government and raise the limit on federal borrowing this fall, but their efforts have yet to produce a deal.”

How long will the GOPers put up with this shitstain?

Israel’s Netanyahu just christened a building named after Trump — that doesn’t even exist

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent his Father’s Day dedicating a new Trump Tower-type building that hasn’t been built in a town that doesn’t exist.

Standing in front of a large sign saying “Trump Heights,” Netanyahu, who is being forced back into another election, announced the building before planning even began, Axios reported.

The Times of Israel headlined the stunt as having “no plans” and “no budget.”

“Anyone who reads the fine print in this ‘historic’ decision will understand that this is nothing more than a nonbinding, fake policy,” said Blue and White MK Zvi Hauser. “There is no budgeting, no planning, no location for a settlement, and there is no binding decision to implement the project. But at least they insisted on a name for the settlement.”

No plans, no budget, no sewage disposal, Yep that's Trumpian!

Sen. Tom Cotton calls for unauthorized ‘retaliatory strike’ on Iran with ‘the fire and fury of the military’

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday called for a “retaliatory strike on Iran” after Trump administration officials alleged that the country is behind attacks on oil tankers.

“Well, Iran for 40 years has engaged in this kind of attacks, going back to 1980s,” Cotton told CBS host Margaret Brennan.
“These unprovoked attacks a warrant retaliatory strikes,” he added. “We can make a military response in the time and matter of our choosing.”

“The president has the right to act to defend American interests certainly it would be keeping in what President Obama did unwisely in Libya,” he argued.

Oh good, make a ridiculous statement and back it up by comparing it to an unwise action of a prior dumb ass!

Looks like we have our first volunteer to lead the assault!

Donald Trump Jr torn to shreds for suggesting his dad has been treated worse than slaves and Native Americans

Donald Trump Jr. thinks his father has been treated worse than any human in American history — including slaves, Native Americans and presidents who have been assassinated while in office.

After President Donald Trump told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that “there’s never been a time in the history of our country where somebody was so mistreated as I have been,” Trump Jr. jumped on Twitter to defend his father and simply said that “he’s right.”

Yes, cry for him America, the most denigrated fucking ass hole in History! How can he go on? He should just shoot himself, and be put out of our misery!

Not Buying the Story: Japan demands US give “concrete evidence” that Iran attacked oil tankers

TOKYO – The Japanese government has asked the US for concrete evidence to support the charges against Tehran for the attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, on which Tokyo has not yet pronounced. The Japanese government remains unconvinced and believes that US explanations have not helped “go beyond speculation,” government sources quoted by the Kyodo news agency revealed.

According to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, “intelligence reports, weapons used, level of knowledge needed to perform the operation and similar attacks against ships recently committed by Iran, in addition to the fact that no rebel group in the area has the resources to act at this level of sophistication “are the elements that nail Tehran.
RevContent InArticle SOLO

The US Navy released a video that would show, according to Washington, a member of Iranian ship crew removing a magnetic mine from the hull of the Kokuka Courageous, attached to one of the two tankers. It is a version of the facts which, however, presents more than one flaw and contradicts the story of the crew of the Japanese oil tanker, according to which the boat was not hit by mines or torpedoes but by “flying objects”.

Why would the Iranians 'remove' a mine?

It has been pointed out by numerous geopolitical analysts that because Iran generally demonstrates signs of a rational state actor (model in IR theory), it makes little sense to attack a Japanese run vessel on the day that the Japanese PM met with the Iranian leader.

You would have to be as stupid and Pompeo or Donald to believe that shit!

Our Orlando Sentinel endorsement for president in 2020: Not Donald Trump

Donald Trump is in Orlando to announce the kickoff of his re-election campaign.

We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump.

Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent.

Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump.

After 2½ years we’ve seen enough.

Oops!

‘Even bigger lunatics than we realized’: UN officials reportedly think Trump is planning ‘massive’ bombing campaign in Iran

As the Trump administration prepares to deploy 1,000 additional troops to the Middle East in a move critics warned will heighten the possibility of all-out war with Iran, United Nations officials reportedly believe the U.S. is also planning a major “aerial bombardment” of an Iranian nuclear facility.

United Nations officials are “assessing the United States’ plans to carry out a tactical assault on Iran,” the Jerusalem Post reported Monday, citing anonymous diplomatic sources at the U.N. headquarters in New York.

Dog wagging is an old sport in DC. Gulf of Oman takes on a new meaning!

Trump personally is just blustering about Iran for effect. It's others in his "administration" who are serious about going to war with Iran.

Also the Israeli press may not be balanced as far as Iran goes. I think Bolton, Pompeo and Cotton should lead the invasion though.

‘To know Trump is to hate Trump’: biographer says that even ‘Ivanka despises him’

On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s “All In,” The Art of the Deal co-author Tony Schwartz told anchor Chris Hayes that President Donald Trump is so isolated at this point that even his eldest daughter can’t stand him anymore.

“To know Trump is to hate Trump,” said Schwartz. “Meaning everybody who knows him, deep down, hates him completely.”

“It’s funny you said that, because Michael Wolff gave an interview … I make no determination about the factual accuracy of the book, but he said exactly the same thing. He said that every person who works with him does secretly despise him,” said Hayes.

“Ivanka despises him,” said Schwartz. “Jared [Kushner] despises him. His other children—”

Yep, 'bout sums it up.

Ukrainian-Russian developer with Trump Tower Moscow ties suing after getting bilked for $200,000 at inauguration

“A Ukrainian-Russian developer who wanted access to President Trump’s inauguration filed a lawsuit on Tuesday saying he was bilked out of the $200,000 he paid for what he thought would be V.I.P. tickets to the event,” The New York Times reported Tuesday.

“It is illegal for foreign nationals to buy tickets from the committees that host the official parties and other events around United States presidential inaugurations, a ban intended to limit international influence in American politics and government. Foreigners have long flocked to inaugurations as guests of American donors, which is permitted,” The Times explained.

So who was accepting the Money for an illegal transaction, Trump Inc, or a Russian grifter?

Trump Tells His Team to Tone Down the Tough Talk on Iran

President Donald Trump has privately pushed his representatives to walk back their tough talk on Iran—and reiterate that the administration is not aiming to go to war with Tehran.

Two senior officials and three other individuals with direct knowledge of the administration’s strategy in the region tell The Daily Beast that the president has asked officials to tone down their heated rhetoric on Iran, despite the attacks on tanker ships in the Gulf of Oman that Washington has blamed on Tehran. The president has previously said he is less hawkish on Iran than some of his advisers and this week, in a Time magazine interview, said the attacks on the tankers were “very minor.”

Over the last several days in public testimony and in closed-door briefings, Trump administration officials have tried to calm lawmakers on Capitol Hill who are wary of the administration evading Congress to launch a military confrontation with Tehran. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hard for Senate to get re-elected when the PeeResident is starting a War!

Hope Hicks told Congress that Trump was ‘serious’ about accepting foreign help: Jerry Nadler

Former White House communications director Hope Hicks told Congress on Wednesday that President Donald Trump really does welcome foreign assistance to help him win elections, according to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).

In a statement released Thursday, Nadler revealed that “Ms. Hicks made clear that she understood the President to be serious when he said that he would accept foreign interference in our elections” and “she also made clear that even she knew that such foreign assistance should be rejected and reported to the FBI.”

I hope Hicks can get the help she will need as Nadler takes her to court over her obstruction.

"I was just following orders" don't cut it.

Just When You Think That They CAN"T Get Anymore Deplorable!

Trumpists Claim Dictator Who Sexually Tortured Women With Live Rats 'Did Nothing Wrong'

See that picture above? That is a picture of Ms. Kellyanne Conway, Senior Counselor to the President, with a big smile on her face. She is standing next to a Proud Boy named Tyler Ziolkowski. Ziolkowski is sporting Dwayne Wayne glasses and a T-shirt reading "Pinochet did nothing wrong."

It's under a jacket, sure, but given that it is a very popular slogan on the alt-right these days, only two things are possible here: Either Conway knew exactly what it said and posed for the gleeful picture anyway, or she is both entirely oblivious and bad at her job.

It is also possible (and quite likely) that all three of these things are true.

The Proud Boys were just one of the radical contingents present at Donald Trump's big Orlando campaign kickoff Tuesday night — the 3 Percenters militia group was also there, as were several believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory. They marched in the streets chanting that very same slogan, along with "Pinochet was right" and "Roger Stone did nothing wrong."

Via The Harvard Crimson:

For women, it was an especially violent experience. The commission reports that nearly every female prisoner was the victim of repeated rape. The perpetration of this crime took many forms, from military men raping women themselves to the use of foreign objects on victims. Numerous women (and men) report spiders or live rats being implanted into their orifices. One woman wrote, "I was raped and sexually assaulted with trained dogs and with live rats. They forced me to have sex with my father and brother who were also detained. I also had to listen to my father and brother being tortured." Her experiences were mirrored by those of many other women who told their stories to the commission.

Kinsinger's buddy, remember him?

Andrew McCabe rains hell on ‘insanely stupid’ Trump in epic rant before calling for impeachment hearings

“You know, I’ve been listening to the president say insanely stupid things for years now about me personally, about my organization, and about the investigation, we undertook to find out if the president posed a threat to national security,” McCabe began. “I won’t get down in the weeds with the president and exchange insults on Twitter or TV or anywhere else, but the question we should be asking is: why do we have a president who feels necessary to attack individuals? Individuals — private citizens, individuals who serve in our government — to attack personally when he’s scared of the truth that they have to offer.”

“What do you suspect the answer is?” Berman pressed.

“As I said, I think the president is afraid,” McCabe shot back. “The president is clearly very concerned about the Russia investigation. He has been since its inception and he has good reason to be concerned about it.”
