ZitatBOB CORKER on primarying Trump: "We've got to remember what the Republican Party is about."

Abgesehen davon, dass er 2 Jahre Zeit und hinreichend Gelegenheit hatte, gegen Trump zu stimmen ... aber bleiben wir realistisch:
ZitatDan Pfeiffer:
The modern Republican Party is about billionaire funded racial demagoguery to appear populist while enacting a corporatist agenda

Hier mal eine Unterhaltung mit Alan Dershowitz, der unter den Trumpologeten eine gewisse Sonderstellung einnimmt (er hat eine jahrzehntelange renommierte und liberale Vorgeschichte).
ZitatI just had a super interesting exchange with Alan Dershowitz via text messages.

Was soll schon dabei sein.
ZitatJust to circle back to this, the DOJ's position is that foreign govts can shovel huge sums of money to the president through his overpriced hotel, with the specific purpose of influencing him... and the president can take the money from the foreign govts... and it's fine.

Bestechlichkeit? Nie im Leben.

BREAKING NEWS: Russian social media lies targeting Mueller was miraculously parallel to and intertwined with Trump's efforts to undermine Mueller's Russia probe. Looks like the Trump/Putin conspiracy covered obstruction of justice along with the campaign

ZitatMueller Ready to Pounce on Trumpworld Concessions to Moscow
New court filings by Mueller's office could answer a central question of the Russia investigation: What did the Kremlin hope to get from its political machinations?

Asha Rangappa, die von solchen Sachen Ahnung hat, kommentiert:
ZitatThis is yuge. If Trump or anyone in his campaign knew, encouraged, facilitated, or participated in the Kremlin's assistance to get Trump elected, you're looking at a quid pro quo, my friends. (aka COLLUSION)

I strongly advise people defending trump to look for the next U-turn.

Dramatik auf allen Kanälen. Flynn steht gerade vor Gericht.

ZitatJudge slams Michael Flynn:

"All along, you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out."

Peiresc

ZitatAs Flynn left the federal courthouse just now, people outside chanted, "Lock him up."

Es gibt keine höhere Gerechtigkeit. Aber manchmal gibt es eine irdische.  :grins2:

Nachrichten von heute. Ich lasse sie mal unkommentiert.
ZitatJust today:

1. Trump's pushing a government shutdown over his wall
2. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis wrote a resignation letter indicting Trump's foreign policy
3. The Trump admin is trying to cut 775,000 people off food stamps

Confrontation, incompetence, and cruelty.

Trump's week so far: caved on Wall, Foundation shut down, Flynn conspiracy collapses; Moscow Project letter surfaces, stock mkt drops, NK says no Nuke deal, Stone indictment looms ... and to change narrative he bugs out of Syria, betrays Kurds, hands huge win to Russia and Iran.

Eine Frage, die ich mir schon lange stelle:

Hypothetically, if you were simultaneously the President and compromised by Russia, what more would you have done today to please the Kremlin?

Endzeitstimmung.
ZitatHe's burning down the house now. Years from now, the only thing that will matter, the one thing people will remember, is who helped to put the fire out.

ZitatJennifer Griffin:
Sr US defense official tells me: The President made the decision to pull out of Syria last Fri Dec 14 after speaking with Turkish President Erdogan, who told Trump Turkish forces were planning to enter Syria to go after the Kurdish PKK and warned US troops to get out of the way.

Haben die Russen am Ende doch noch den kalten Krieg gewonnen und das ohne einen Schuss abzugeben.
Ich denke nicht, dass das eine treffende Bemerkung ist, auch wenn Trump offenbar ein Spion ist.

Stillstand in DC, die Regierung ist abgestellt. Warum? Keine einigung im Budget streit da Trump immer noch seine Mauer haben will und ihm gesagt wurde, dass dass nicht geht:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/21/us/politics/trump-shutdown-border-wall.html

The federal government shut down early Saturday after congressional and White House officials failed to find a compromise on a spending bill that hinged on President Trump's demands for $5.7 billion for a border wall.

It is the third shutdown in two years of unified Republican rule in Washington, and it will stop work at nine federal departments and several other agencies. Hundreds of thousands of government employees are affected.

Trump hatte ja damit gedroht, das war aber bevor Mattis den Hut genommen hat und bevor Trump Truppen and die grenze sendete als midterm stunt. Seine Beliebtheit werte wird das sicher nicht helfen. Sollte das ganze länger dauern, kann diese Sache für Trump echt zum Problem werden, denn ein Machtkampf mit der eigenen Partei kann er sich echt nicht leisten, sollte es sogar dann zu einer Rebellion kommen, kann er einpacken.

Trump is reportedly already turning on Mick Mulvaney—who hasn't even started his new job as acting White House chief of staff yet—due to a two-year-old video uncovered by The Daily Beast, which shows Mulvaney calling the president "a terrible human being"
