Excerpted from an 8/18/2019 NBC News story by By Ken Dilanian...
In a thousand-page bipartisan report [Volume 5: Counterintelligence Threats and Vulnerabilities] released Tuesday [8/18/2020], the Senate Intelligence Committee painted a stark portrait of a Trump campaign eager to accept help from a foreign power in 2016, as well as a candidate closely involved in the effort.
The Senate report, the most detailed account to date of the Trump campaign's embrace of Russian election interference, also asserted that the allegations that Ukraine interfered in the election — which President Donald Trump perpetuated — originated with Russian intelligence agencies.
The report, which the committee's Republican majority approved, said the committee assessed that the president discussed hacked emails with his longtime associate Roger Stone — even though Trump told special counsel Robert Mueller that he didn't recall having done so.
...
"Separate from Steele's memos, which the Committee did not use for support, the Committee became aware of three general sets of allegations" involving women, the report said, two of which described a tape. No such allegations were confirmed, but the finding lent new credence to at least one claim in the widely discredited [largely proven accurate] Steele dossier.
For the record, the "big ugly" is a fantasy of some Dotard supporters that says it's going to get ugly for Obama administration officials who "spied" on the Dotard campaign and are going to be held accountable by Toady Barr and John Durham. LOL.
As per a post from the blog of Joe Conservative (a Minus FJ sockpuppet), ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok wrote ("discrediting" reporting from the NYT) "We have not seen evidence of any individuals in contact with Russians (both Governmental and non-Governmental)".
However, according to the just released Senate report, Konstantin Kilimnik (who Manafort met with at the Grand Havana Room at 666 Fifth Avenue on 8/2/2016 to deliver Dotard campaign internal polling data) is a Russian intelligence officer who "almost certainly helped arrange some of the first public messaging that Ukraine had interfered in the US election".
AKA the Ukraine narrative (over which Dotard was impeached) was a cover up fabricated by Russia (it wasn't Dotard who colluded with Russia, it was Hillary who colluded with Ukraine). Yet, I suppose this will come up during the election (the nonsense about Hunter Biden, Burisma and Joe Biden getting a prosecutor fired to "protect" his son).
This should mean the premature death of the yet unreleased "Durham Report" and the whole bogus Obamagate/Spygate narrative, but I doubt it. Even though we now have Senate Republicans signing off on a report that confirms the Dotard/Russia counter narrative is a load of horse manure.
Having read Mary Trump's book, I can tell you all the Trumps that survived their scumbag father and mother (and inherited his fortune) are scumbags. The three remaining siblings (Maryanne, Robert and Dotard) conspired to steal their brother Fred Trump Jr's (who passed away in 1981) portion of his father's inheritance (they got their father to change his will while he was suffering with Alzheimer's).
Robert Trump took point in the effort to get Mary Trump and her brother (Frederick Trump III) to accept what they were offering. Which turned out was much less than she and her brother were entitled to (even under the amended will). She and her bother were forced to sue (although they later dropped the suit).
When it comes to rich a-holes, there is never a point at which they have enough. They couldn't be generous and allow their deceased brother's share of the inheritance to go to his children. Instead they colluded to steal it. Probably due to the fact that the other Trump's (including the family matriarch) viewed Fred Trump Jr as a loser who forfeited his share of the inheritance after he "died in 1981 at age 42 from a heart attack caused by alcoholism". Alcoholism brought on by the fact that his father saw him as a disappointment (because he didn't want to go into the family business).
btw, Fred Jr lived with his parents following heart surgery. They saw him deteriorating before their eyes but did nothing to help him (basically allowing him to die). Despite the fact that they had connections at the local hospital where they could have gotten him first class treatment. If they had deigned to bother or cared about their son AT ALL.
It seems that some Progressives (people who say they support Bernie Sanders) won't listen to Bernie Sanders. Not unless he tells them what they want to hear. What these Progressives want to hear (apparently) is that they should protest the selection of Joe Biden (by the primary voters) by staying home on election day. Or by not mailing in their ballot. Or by writing in "Bernie Sanders". Or by voting third party.
Doing things to get d0n0ld "elected" to a second term, in other words. These Progressives believe the DNC (and America) needs to be punished by leaving d0n0ld in office. After the DNC learns this lesson they will say "hey, we need to make sure our candidate is a Progressive next time".
This is, of course, very stupid. Democracy is on the line. Who knows if, after d0n0ld continues destroying America for four more years, there will be another election? And, even if there is, surely the damage d0n0ld will have wrought will be even greater than the damage he has done so far. The clear priority here is getting rid of d0n0ld tRump.
Yet some supposed Progressives are ready for another d0n0ld term. And others are trying their darnedest to make that happen. The d0n0ld-supporting blogger Minus JF posts videos from these people on his blog (a good indication of who the efforts of these people is benefiting). Krystal Ball is a Progressive who used to be with MSNBC but currently has a program on The Hill. Ball dislikes Biden and spends a lot of time running him down (along with her conservative co-host).
Another Progressive useful idiot that Minus likes to post videos from is Jimmy Dore (formerly of The Young Turks). Dore (like Ball) denies the obvious collusion that d0n0ld engaged in with Putin to steal the 2016 election. Dore loathes Barack Obama and hates Joe Biden equally (or possibly more). Both of these people have decided to spend a lot of time (after Joe Biden was selected by the primary voters as the Democratic nominee) helping d0n0ld by running down the only other viable candidate.
Our next president will be Joe Biden. Or America will be doomed via the "reelection" of d0n0ld tRump. An "autocratic outsider" according to Minus. Being an autocrat is a big plus in the opinion of Minus. Despite autocracy being contrary to our democratic form of government. Under American democracy, power is split between three co-equal branches. Obviously a fan of autocracy would be desirous of destroying American democracy as we know it. Given that autocracy vests power in one person.
Bernie Sanders (the candidate I voted for in the primary) knows this. He knows that a second d0n0ld term would be bad. Bad for democracy in addition to being bad for the American people. In regards to their pocketbooks and preference to not die by catching covid (or seeing their loved ones die). Which is why Bernie Sanders has endorsed Joe Biden and is working to get Joe Biden elected. Unlike the previously mentioned "Progressives" who endorsed Bernie Sanders but are working to get d0n0ld "elected" to a second term.
From MSNBC, 8/16/2020.
Ali Velshi: ...some Progressive voters [are] concerned. They're worried that a Biden-Harris ticket doesn't adequately represent Progressive voters and, despite the unity between the Biden and Bernie camps, the dissatisfaction of the Left wing of the Democratic Party has some Moderate Democratic voters and Party leaders concerned that low turnout of Progressives could leave the country with Donald Trump as president.
Here with me to discuss how... coalition building between Progressives and Moderates as well as the vice presidential pick will effect the election is Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Good to see you Senator. I want to ask you about this... Are Moderates expressing concern to you that Progressives may not turn out in the numbers they were hoping?
Bernie Sanders: ...I can't speak for everyone who voted for me, or for every Progressive in America. But Ali, this I do know -- the overwhelming majority of Progressives understand that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of this country. ... What Progressives, and I hope most Americans understand, is that we have a president is seeking to end democracy and move us toward authoritarianism. Everybody, not just Progressives -- Moderates and Conservatives -- have got to come together and say to this president -- sorry... heroes have fought and died to protect American democracy, and you are not going to destroy it. We are going to defeat you.
After the election I intend, with the Progressive community -- with working class people all over this country -- to do everything we can to move the Biden administration to be as Progressive as it can. So we have a government that represents working people and the elderly and the children and the sick and the poor. And not just the 1 percent and wealthy campaign contributors.
So that's goal -- short term, defeat Trump, elect Biden. Longer term -- rally the American people around a Progressive agenda. Which, if the Democrats have control of the Senate, the House and the White House [will enable us to] make significant progress, I believe.
**skip**
Ali Velshi: [asks Sanders about the situation with the Post Office]
Bernie Sanders: This is not just about the Postal Service. I am a strong believer in the Postal Service. We have got to adequately fund it. Make sure everybody in America gets the mail delivery they need ... This is about American democracy. Now, as you know -- and the viewers know -- just a few days ago Donald Trump... this guy lies all the time, but a few days ago he was actually honest -- he said we want to defund the Postal Service. In essence we want to destroy the Postal Service because we don't want people to be [able to] mail in [their] ballots. I guess what they believe is that, if you can suppress the vote -- make it impossible for millions of people to vote -- they think it works in their favor. ... but I believe that is beyond outrageous. We need to fund the Postal Service, not force people to make a choice between putting their lives on the line by getting sick. ...
Bernie Sanders must not be "intellectually honest". Minus says that is what Progressives like Krystal Ball and Jimmy Dore are. Even though Ball and Dore (they claim) supported Bernie Sanders they don't listen to Bernie Sanders when he says we have to vote for Joe Biden. Minus is hoping that Progressives will not vote for Biden because not voting for Biden is a vote for Dotard. That is one of the tactics they are deploying to steal the election. Again.
In addition to accepting foreign help (again) and sabotaging the Post Office. A new suppression strategy that the pandemic could ensure is effective at filtering out more votes cast by the "wrong" people.
Bernie Sanders is sounding the alarm. Why, if you're a Progressive, you need to be "intellectually dishonest" like the candidate you voted for. The priority is getting rid of d0n0ld by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Then prosecuting d0n0ld for the many crimes he committed before and during his presidency (and well as the complicit members of his administration). Something that future VP Harris has said she supports :)
Not Dotard's fault you say? No, he was warned and chose to ignore the warnings.
Biden ad mocks Trump's "We are going to win so much" boast.
"In the United States, where the Depression was generally worst, industrial production between 1929 and 1933 fell by nearly 47 percent, gross domestic product (GDP) declined by 30 percent, and unemployment reached more than 20 percent". Under predisent Dotard the 2020 second quarter GDP fell by 32.9 percent, making Dotard responsible for the most losing in history!
Some actual words from Stella Immanuel (quack doctor who claims she cured hundreds of patients of Covid using hydroxychloroquine) via YouTube. In this video "doctor" Immanuel speaks about the threat posed by Witches and Warlocks.
Granted, the actual words Minus FJ was talking about concerned her assertion that alien DNA is being used in medical treatments. "They're using all kinds of DNA, even alien DNA, to treat people" Immanuel has said. Though, as per Minus FJ, "her DNA comments were reasonable given her actual words". His defense is that "alien DNA" refers to animal DNA and NOT the DNA of an alien from another planet. Because animal DNA would be "alien" to human DNA.
Minus determined that this is what she meant because "science has discovered no alien life on other planets... and therefore [talk of] alien DNA originating in extra-terrestrials [is] ridiculous". But to claim that witches and warlocks exist ISN'T ridiculous? I challenged Minus to defend the other ridiculous claims made by Immanuel, but he declined. For obvious reasons. Although he said he was declining to defend the other ridiculous claims made by Immanuel because I didn't raise them.
Sure, even though some of the other ridiculous claims made by Immanuel are covered by a meme I included in the post. Let's assume I didn't raise them. I'm raising them now. Apparently Immanuel also believes the David Ickes conspiracy theory that says our government is run by a lizard person Illuminati. Or "partially run". Because Dotard isn't a lizard person who disguises himself by zipping on a human suit (or is able to shapeshift into human form)? (while other past presidents were reptilians, including gwb and Bill Clinton. Also possibly Obama).
My conclusion? Immanuel is a crazy person. Although Dotard continues to insist he is "very impressed" by her. Because she recommended hydroxychloroquine. And he was (I presume) unaware of her other crazy beliefs (when he tweeted the video she appeared in). But should he not have looked into her (or asked an advisor to look into her) before praising her? You think he might, lest he come off looking like an idiot for praising an insane person.
Yet he refused to back down when presented with the facts concerning Immanuel. His weak defense was "I know nothing about it". So why tweet about something you know nothing about? That doesn't seem very wise to me. You can not know someone but do a Google search before posting a possibly embarrassing tweet. Or at least admit you were wrong to post a tweet praising a crazy person. Yet Dotard can not admit being wrong. He is incapable of admitting being wrong. His devoted cultists can also not admit that Dotard is wrong.
Why Minus felt compelled to defend Immanuel in regards to her crazy claims concerning alien DNA being used in medical treatments. Even though she was obviously speaking about DNA from aliens from other planets. And not DNA from species alien to human DNA. By the way, a "witch" can refer to an old woman. But a "warlock" is not used to refer to an old man. This is how I can be sure she is talking about people who practice witchcraft (i.e "the practice of magical skills, spells, and abilities").
Also why assuming Immanuel was talking about space alien DNA is completely reasonable. In any case (given her other claims) Immanuel is clearly nuts. Not that Minus FJ isn't nuts. Although he may be a little less nuts. More or less than Dotard, I don't know. But all three are clearly crazy (Dotard, Immanuel and Minus FJ). Though only one is in a position of power he should be removed from ASAP (because his response to the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans).
By the way, lizard people are aliens.
Vox: Where do lizard people come from? Aside from people's paranoia, lizard people are thought to primarily come from the constellation Draco, though there are some theories that reptoids come from other systems like Sirius and Orion too. Basically, they're aliens.
Those two facts (Immanuel believes in lizard people and lizard people are space aliens) proves that Minus was 100 percent wrong when he "deduced" that Stella wasn't talking about aliens from other planets.
So, Dotard says that he was "very impressed" by "Doctor" Stella Immanuel. Although only because she lies about curing patients infected with covid with his favorite malaria drug. Despite (as per Doctor Faucci) Hydroxychloroquine being ineffectve against covid (also possibly being dangerous to the health of the patient). The predisent added that (although he was "very impressed"), he didn't know much about Immanuel.
Perhaps, before giving this ringing endorsement, he should have looked into her background? If Dotard had looked into the background of Immanuel he would have found that she is a ridiculous quack. As Democratic Underground points out with the following meme (placard copied from Progressive Eruptions).
Alien DNA is being used in medical treatments? FYI, Immanuel is not talking about the DNA of illegal aliens (aka economic refugees from south of our border) but the DNA of space aliens. Perhaps, given Dotard's praise of Immanuel (because she endorsed Hydroxychloroquine), he'd also like to try Alien DNA? Maybe in addition to the Hydroxychloroquine, Xenomorph XX121 DNA would be a super-cure and preventative?
With that in mind, I created the following Political clip art cartoon (using Photoshop and pics I located via Google image search).
If Dotard truly is impressed with Immanuel, I say he should give alien DNA a shot. It might work. If we actually have it. But Dotard (as predisent) does have access to such government secrets. So maybe he is taking it? I mean, he doesn't have covid, despite not wearing a mask most of the time. And we don't know that alien DNA wouldn't be effective. Which isn't the case with Hydrochloride. That is a treatment we can be fairly positive doesn't help patients with coronavirus.
This post concerns the looters. I'm not talking about people smashing windows and grabbing all they can from businessses during the nighttime. Following daytime peacefull Black Lives Matter protests. What I'm talking about concerns considerably larger sums of money.
Observer Holdings, the publishing company owned by Kushner's brother in law which publishes what remains of the former New York Observer newspaper, received between $350,000 and $1 million to protect 41 jobs, records show.
Princeton Forrestal LLC, controlled by several Kushner's related to the White House confidant, received between $1 million and $2 million, and Esplanade Livingston, which owns the land housing the family's Westminster Hotel, also received $350,000 to $1 million.
Of course massive corruption like this is just fine according to trumper Minus FJ. Because once you attain a postion of authority, the rules no longer apply.
Joe Conservative (Minus FJ Sockpuppet): Law requires an authoritarian police state. For it is law which creates/establishes the "authorities". When I was at the Academy I learned that the laws (Regulations) are meaningless, that the "Authorities" can do as they please. It's not an easy lesson to accept, but it's one that anyone who is smart, will learn. The heart of authority is derived from Force, either it's current execution or memory of its' application in the past. (7/3/2020 at 6:17am).
Reading this comment my conclusion is that Minus admires Dotard for his lawlessness and corruption. That the Dotard crime family has been able to loot large sums of money from the government is nothing to criticize them for. It proves he is smart. Not that Minus admires crooked Democrats who steal and get away with it. Dotard is also doing things that Minus approves of.
Democrats don't want to punish the poor and middle class by cutting the social safety net. Nor do they wish to reward the rich by cutting their taxes. Democrats also don't seek to suppress the votes of minorities, thereby preserving White privliege and the patriarchy.
More importantly Dotard is promoting White Supremacism and looking out firstly for the White race. Things Minus likes very much. Although he denies it. But the public isn't buying it. The bottom line here is that Dotard is a special case, being the Alt-right's anti-globalism, anti-cultural Marxism champion. Thus making his profiting from the presidency very well earned.
btw, I heard that Kanye West, Grover Norquist, and The Ayn Rand Institute (in addition to other conservatives and conservative groups) were rewarded for their loyalty. "Proof" that, as Minus says, "Reward Friends, Punish Enemies" is the motto of the Democratic Party.
FYI, PPP loans do not have to be paid back "if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities". Something that some companies whose profits have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic might have done (laid off employees).
How many people do you think the Ayn Rand Institute was planning on firing before the Dotard administration threw it a lifeline? Zero, maybe? I think they are getting paid to keep people on the payroll they had no intention of letting go in the first place. And I would bet that is the case with most (if not all) of the Dotard friends who were rewarded (with taxpayer money).
Millions of tipped workers in this country didn’t qualify for Covid unemployment because they don’t make enough money. Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chow who is worth more than $30M got a $350k PPP loan for her family business. If you want to stop the real looting, start in DC.
Remember when Prediset Dotard promised us that we'd be winning so much that we'd get sick of it under his administration?
The graph at the top of his post illustrates what "too much winning" looks like. The United States is number 1 in coronavirus infections. Way to go, Dotard!
Acutally this much "winning" sucks. And (as Dotard predicted) I am sick of it. Hillary Clinton wouldn't have ignored the threat posed by the coronavirus for 3 months.
The coronavirus is the most foreseeable disaster in history — and so is President Trump's inability to rise to the occasion. There were scattered warnings before Pearl Harbor and 9/11 of what was to come. But nothing like this. ...throughout January and February, the U.S. intelligence community was warning Trump that the pandemic was going to hit America. "The system was blinking red", one official said.
But Trump wasn't paying attention. "It will all work out well", he blithely tweeted on Jan 24 while credulously thanking Chinese President Xi Jinping for "working very hard to contain the Coronavirus". (A British study suggests China could have eliminated 95 percent of its cases if it had acted three weeks earlier, when a doctor first called attention to the epidemic in Wuhan).
I weep in anger and frustration imagining what might have been if Hillary Clinton — a sane, sensible adult — had won. We couldn't have avoided the coronavirus, but we could have ameliorated its effects. It was precisely because we were afraid of how Trump would mishandle his weighty responsibilities that some "Never Trump" conservatives supported Clinton in 2016.
On May 8, 2016, I wrote in the Los Angeles Times: "There has never been a major party nominee in U.S. history as unqualified for the presidency. The risk of Trump winning, however remote, represents the biggest national security threat that the United States faces today".
There were many reasons Trump won. Ironically, one of the most oft-cited was the desire to blow everything up, because Trump voters were convinced that things couldn't get any worse than they were in 2016. As they shelter in their homes and the economy grinds to a halt, I wonder if perhaps they now realize how good they had it under President Barack Obama?
For the past three years, Trump supporters have scoffed at critics, claiming we are out-of-touch, pointy-headed, coastal elitists too focused on Trump's unconventional way of speaking while ignoring his historic policy achievements — meaning an expanding economy that he inherited from Obama. Perhaps they would like to rethink that argument now that the stock market has given up all of the gains it made under Trump and the unemployment numbers are heading for Great Depression levels?
Clearly the real problem is too much losing. But we were warned. Now the "brillian businessman" who bankrupted multiple casinos is bankrupting America. And continuing to do nothing as the death toll rises. The only thing "great" about the Dotard presidency is the cost. If only Hillary were president...
