Roseanne ist Volkes Stimme, wie kaum eine zweite. Der Relaunch ihrer Sitcom war ein gewaltiger Erfolg, 28 Mio Zuschauer, wenn ich mich recht entsinne.

Valerie Jarett ist als Tochter amerikanischer Eltern im Iran geboren.

Aber das war sicher nur eine witzische Provokation (ich schwöre, ich habe diesen Satz geschrieben, bevor ich diesen Artikel gesehen hatte). In einem lesenswerten Bericht über den Werdegang von Stephen Miller heißt es:

But if any slur or slander can be excused as ironic under the guise of combating political correctness, it becomes all but impossible to distinguish genuine extremists from those impersonating them for effect. According to the Anti-Defamation League, incidents of white-supremacist propaganda at colleges increased by 258 percent from the fall of 2016 to the fall of 2017.

What's more, the journey from winking provocateur to racist ideologue might be shorter than many imagine. You start out with the goal of provoking the left—and, well, what's more provocative than posting a racist meme on the internet? But with each new like and upvote, an incentive structure forms, a community coalesces, an identity hardens. Before long, the line between performance and principle is blurred beyond recognition, your "true" beliefs buried under so many layers of irony that they've been rendered irrelevant.

Memorial Day.

Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!

Der geniale Korea-Politiker schmiedet das Eisen, solange es heiß  ist. Die Verhandlungs"partner" sollen sich auf nichts einstellen können:

The Trump administration declined to specify on Tuesday what had changed that led the White House to issue its latest announcement. But the sudden statement caught officials from Washington to Beijing by surprise and angered those who had welcomed a calming of the waters.

"Trump's schizophrenic China trade policy is a menace to the global economy," said Dan Ikenson, a trade policy expert at the Cato Institute who criticized the decision to reverse course "yet again." "The president seems to thrive on the uncertainty and chaos that his version of leadership churns out on a daily basis, but whether any of this actually happens is anyone's guess."

Stocks again fell in light of the news. As of 1 p.m., the Dow Jones industrial average dropped more than 400 points, or about 1.6 percent on the day. The broader, Standard & Poor's 500 index was off about 1.2 percent.

Der Hurrikan über Puerto Rico war eine Naturkatastrophe 2. Klasse; seine Auswirkungen konnten effektiv und öffentlichkeitswirksam mit präsidialen Papierhandtüchern bekämpft werden. Wir erinnern uns, dass auch eine Bürgermeister-Schnepfe versucht hatte, mit ihm ihre ratings zu verbessern.

Offiziell hat er 64 Todesopfer gefordert. Im Prinzip ja, aber:

Our results indicate that the official death count of 64 is a substantial underestimate of the true burden of mortality after Hurricane Maria. Our estimate of 4645 excess deaths from September 20 through December 31, 2017, is likely to be conservative since subsequent adjustments for survivor bias and household-size distributions increase this estimate to more than 5000.

Vielleicht werden ja auf dem Nordkorea-Gipfel doch mehr als nur Gedenkmünzen ausgetauscht.

CIA report says North Korea won't denuclearize, but might open a burger joint

"Everybody knows they are not going to denuclearize," said one intelligence official who read the report, which was circulated earlier this month, days before Trump canceled the originally scheduled summit.

In an odd twist, a list of potential concessions by North Korea in the CIA analysis included the possibility that Kim Jong Un may consider offering to open a Western hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a show of goodwill, according to three national security officials.

A big win. Die Chinesen mussten ja noch 13 Handelsmarken für Ivanka registrieren;

Ivanka Trump won China trademarks days before her father's reversal on ZTE

Kim ist da geschickter und kommt offenbar billiger weg. Ein Hamburger für den Präsidenten reicht.

Kommentar Rogue Potus Staff:

POTUS seems to be conceding that NK won't give up their nukes. Instructing aides to work with comms team to come up with a deal Kim will like that has "enough so we can tell claim they gave them up and say he's lying if he says he's kept them."

Trey Gowdy hat bestätigt, dass das FBI korrekt gehandelt hat und dass es keinen FBI-Spion in der Trump-Kampagne gegeben hat.
Asha Rangappa fragt:

Yes – and he highlights a question I've been asking myself this whole time...why does POTUS want to make himself look *more* guilty by saying FBI was targeting him, when acknowledging it was an investigation against Russia is so much more vindicating?

Das ficht Jonathan Turley nicht an:

In this instance, Rosenstein apparently concluded that the controversy over the informant was a legitimate concern given the overall record of anti-Trump internal emails, alleged false statements by former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, controversial secret warrants, and the use of a dossier funded by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
http://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/389705-choose-the-truth-instead-of-taking-sides-in-the-trump-mueller-drama

Was für ein Unsinn. Der Trumpist Nunes hatte mit "subpoena" und "impeachment" gedroht, mit Feuer vom Präsidenten aus allen Rohren. Rosenstein hat diesem Druck nachgegeben. Was wäre geschehen, wenn er es nicht getan hätte? Darin bestand sein "legitimate concern".

All the presidents lie ... -> All the president's lies

Words have meaning. Presidential statements have consequences and Donald Trump does not understand the world is far larger than himself. Facts deserve to be told. The people of the United States deserve factual information about what our government is doing and why. We do not deserve to be taken on a bumpy ride of buffoonery when the consequences are very real. I refer to the question I asked in the briefing room regarding the nuclear threat from North Korea; if the American public cannot tell when the president is telling the truth and when he is lying, how can those who lead other nations trust us or our word? How can they tell when Trump is lying? If his lies are as nefarious as they've been—in essence, "trolling" the electorate, planting seeds of doubt about the press, the Justice Department, Congress and everyone but himself—how can we be sure of what he'll do regarding our nuclear arsenal? If all we have to count on are his narcissistic survival instincts...forgive me for wanting a little more sanity from the leader of the free world.

OMFG. Bei Fox News fallen die Gäste vom Glauben ab

Fox News' Judge Napolitano Calls Trump's 'Spygate' Claims 'Baseless': There's 'No Evidence Whatsoever'
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-judge-napolitano-calls-trumps-spygate-claims-baseless-theres-no-evidence-whatsoever/

Das Statement von Gowdy (hier) war auch bei Fox.

Vorher hatte schon Shep Smith antitrumpistische Auftritte.

Was ist da los? Ich habe mal die Kommentare überflogen. Verwirrung bei den Trumpansen.
Was wird Hannity sagen?

Kim Kardashian will visit the White House today to discuss prison reform

Da kommen sie glücklich zusammen, die Experten.

So the Trump-Kim summit has finally gone ahead

[Peiresc]

Alan Dershowitz said he's "halfway persuaded" that the FBI acted properly in sending an informant into the Trump campaign.

On "America's Newsroom" on Wednesday, Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor emeritus, said he's "relatively satisfied" with Gowdy's assurances that the FBI acted properly.

Dershowitz ist einer der Getreuesten der Getreuen.

Na, Riss im Weltbild?

Sag' mal, Du kennst Dich doch aus in speziellen Winkeln des Internets, Washington Examiner, DailyCaller u. ä. Konntest Du schon einen Hinweis auf die aktuelle Position von Nunes auftreiben?

Die Reaktion auf die rassistischen Tweets von Roseanne Barr kam plötzlich und heftig. Ihre Sitcom ist gecancelt – nicht unbedingt, weil ABC/Disney die Fackel des Bürgerrechtskampfes aufgenommen haben, sondern wohl mehr, weil Boykottaufrufe die Werbeeinnahmen einbrechen lassen würden.

Alles nur ein schreckliches Missverständnis:

I'm not a racist, I never was & I never will be. One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities, against networks, studios, at the expense of my nervous system/family/wealth will NEVER b taken from me.

— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 30, 2018

So wird sie von TheHill zitiert, die - zumindest in diesem Beitrag - über ihre sonstigen Tweets aus der jüngsten Zeit den Mantel des gnädigen Schweigens decken (Soros ein Nazi-Kollaborateur, "Chelsea Soros Clinton", allerlei rechte Fake-Mems retweetet usw.).

Der Fundus der Rechten ist die Klärgrube. Einen Eindruck verschafft Yashar Ali:

Talk to people in the Trump administration and you sometimes get an odd sense that they find negotiating with the EU — that rules-based confederation of longstanding US allies — more tiresome than dealing with communist China, the existential rival.

Und aus dem WH zu Roseanne? Das Übliche.

She [Sanders] said, "Where was Bob Iger's apology to the White House staff for Jemele Hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist, to Christians around the world for Joy Behar calling Christianity a mental illness? Where was the apology for Kathy Griffin going on a profane rant against the president on 'The View' after a photo showed her holding the president Trump's decapitated head? And where was the apology from Bob Iger [...]
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/30/trump-roseanne-media-attack-615181

Ich sehe jetzt nicht so genau, warum sich alle Welt dafür entschuldigen sollte, wenn Trump auf dicke Tinte mit rechten Fanatikern macht (vgl. z. B. Ted Nugent, z. B. #2254). Übrigens,

And Behar publicly apologized for her comments mocking Christianity and Vice President Mike Pence's faith. "I think Vice President Pence is right; I was raised to respect everyone's religious faith, and I fell short of that," Behar said on "The View" in March. "I sincerely apologize for what I said."

Das hatte eine lange Geschichte, begonnen hat sie so: #2010. Fox hatte aufgeheult, und Pence hatte sich wochenlang als verfolgte Unschuld stilisiert, bis Behar erst die nichtöffentliche, dann die öffentliche Buße tat. Es wird nie genug Buße geben. Also kann man es auch lassen.

Getreuer von wem?

Eine Untersuchung wird Dinge ergeben, die eine Seite nicht unbedingt erwartet.
Und das weiß man vorher nicht, sonst bräuchte es ja keine Untersuchung.
Und diese Kommentare, war das die Untersuchung?

Da kommen wir gleich zur nächsten Untersuchung: Der Report des "Inspector Generals", bzw. "IG" Horrowitz ist für den 05.Juni angekündigt:

Justice Dept. IG, key FBI officials slated for Capitol Hill appearances as Clinton email report looms
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is slated to testify before congressional committees next month, presumably after the release of his long-awaited report on the FBI's Hillary Clinton investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign, Fox News has learned.
.
.
On Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said his committee would hold a hearing titled "Examining the Inspector General's First Report on Justice Department Decisions Regarding the 2016 Presidential Election" on June 5.

Das ist kommenden Dienstag.
Mal schauen, was passieren wird.

Erpel mal wieder mit dubiosen Quellen wie Fox News. Kein wunder das dich hier niemand ernst nimmt.

Ach ja, wie steht es eigentlich um Nunes?
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/25/devin-nunes-russia-probe-fundraising-609492

Whoops, scheint so, als würde Nunes bald keine job mehr haben.

Und die ICE Sache mit den 1500 vermißten Kindern weitet sich auch zum Skandal aus, etliche Leute verlangen nun, das ICE abgeschafft wird, einige gehen sogar weiter,  und wollen das die die Verantwortlichen von ICE vor Gericht gestellt werden.

Weil wir Gerade by Skandalen sind, Eric Greiters, GOP Guvanor in Missouri tritt zurück, wegen vorwürfen wegen sexueller übergriff, Korruption und das einsacken von spenden für wohltätige Zwecke in die eigene Tasche. Er kommt damit einer amstenhebung zuvor, wird sich aber wohl vor Gericht verantworten müssen.
