We’re all going on a WITCH HUNT! We’re not scared ...we persist. (Trump cont.)

[TheClaws]

In response to one of Trump’s incoherent WITCH HUNT! tweets in the last 12 hours, Rep. Adam Schiff sent this:

Adam Schiff Retweeted Donald J. Trump

Given all the secret meetings with the Russians, the denials, the false statements, and the guilty pleas, your attacks on the Republican, respected, decorated, Vietnam Veteran running the investigation could not be more false, or transparent.

For you, Gump. (About 16 + minutes in But it's actually all worth watching. )

Der Spiegel

Thanks cozie. I did watch that, and the Avenatti interview that followed where she gave gave MA the most uncomfortable interview I've seen, especially over the small number of incorrect payments.

I may have been too busy laughing at the absurdity of it all at that point. 🤯

If you get to the end of the Maddow piece, it might be worthwhile clicking on the link - top right if .
I recall - to Mr O'Donnell's ' (apparently unavailable on YouTube..)

Was that the Avenatti interview the previous evening. I watched that - I am suffering from too much info this week. Maddow and McDonnell are my go tos in the morning.

Interesting perspective from NY Daily News

The Republican Party doesn't belong to John McCain anymore. It belongs to the likes of Nunes, another mouse who grew up to be a rat.

No. It was a separate piece,

As .i said upthread, I can't second guess McCain. I know what I would do - but I'm not him.

Sorry. My Autocorrect is being more assertive than usual.

It referenced Giuliani.

Meanwhile in North Korea: as Trump thanks them for their ‘announcement’ on the “dismantlement procedures” of their nuclear test site ( a site that actually was mostly destroyed in a recent earthquake), NK publishes this piece via Rodong Sinmun. Trump honestly is being played as a fool.

Foolish Wile of Those Oblivious of Reality

The U.S. drastically increased the funds for espionage against the DPRK and is scheming to intensify ideological and cultural poisoning against it through e-media and radio.
A recent plenary meeting of the U.S. Senate discussed the matter and the related act was passed with a unanimous approval, the keynote of which is to diversify the means and contents of information influx into the DPRK and increase the aid funds to scale up intelligence against it.
U.S. politicians made it a matter of duty to intensify propaganda broadcasting against the DPRK, which was mainly done through radio, by use of diverse media. It was also formalized to use all e-media and information technologies including USB cards, mobile phones and wireless internet as means for ideological and cultural poisoning against the DPRK, and to spread corrupt music, films and dramas of the U.S. and other capitalist countries in the DPRK as diversification of its contents.
This clearly shows that the U.S. conspiratorial moves to divide and paralyze the DPRK have reached an extremely dangerous phase.
The U.S. has persisted in psychological warfare aimed at internal destabilization of the DPRK through espionage, propaganda broadcasting and awful propaganda literature century after century in a bid to stamp out the ideology and social system of the DPRK.
The U.S. is making no scruple of committing mean and base acts by using modern sci-tech means in a bid to spread corrupt bourgeois ideology and culture within the DPRK.
However, it is no more than a wild dream of the foolish ones oblivious of history and reality.

'But now comes a new set of data from years of polling by ABC News and the Washington Post that puts these trends together in a way that might bust some old preconceptions. Between 2003 and 2017, the percentage of adult Americans professing “no religion” grew from 12 percent to 21 percent. And at the same time, the portion of the population made up by white evangelicals dropped from 21 percent to 13 percent. Indeed, the white evangelical population dropped even faster than the white non-evangelical population (which shrank from 17 percent to 11 percent), and the two groups are converging in size.'

Israel has been a historically aggressive nation, so how does that fit with Dr Jeffress’ beatific vision? Or is this the God of fire and brimstone? Thus, much of the world is devoid of protection both of religious and military nature. Ugh.

'He said the broader notion that the Fed is to act independently in the best interest of the economy instead of political interests is “probably not an obvious feature to the president.” When asked whether Trump understood why it was important for the Fed to be independent from political pressure, he replied, “This might be a good time for a no comment.”'

'WH Nat'l Security Adviser John Bolton tells @MarthaRaddatz having a meeting between Pres. Trump and Kim Jong Un "without months, and months, and months" of preparation is advantageous: "President Trump will be able to size Kim Jong Un up, and see whether the commitment is real."'

In other words, he'll 'wing it'.
