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.

Trump said the US would get a businessman as President, and that's what they got. The problem is that he is treating the US as a means to improve his businesses, not as his own company.

I so wished he was given the Icelandic treatment after his term.

Don't feel too bad, Across.

Cohen-Snitchnick is Beauregard's boy, now.

Ah Yes - I read that. Interesting piece.

What's going on on the Gaza strip is just appalling, children and teens, 43 dead and 2,300 injured. Indiscriminate firing and when I watched Ivanka and Mnuchin unveil a plaque at the Embassy with Trump's name on, him grinning and her almost blowing a kiss, I felt quite sick.

This makes sense...

"The White has issued a note on the embassy opening that says President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel “does not mean the United States has taken a position on final status negotiations” in relation to Jerusalem.

The briefing emphasises that this decision fulfills a promise made by Mr Trump and that is “simply a recognition of reality.”

No doubt Palestinian leaders will say that it does show that Mr Trump has taken a position, whatever the White House says"

I fear it's only going to get a lot worse.

Don't feel too bad, Across

Yes, I agree... it's that self serving 45 and his cronies who are responsible.

Kushner:
"Sorry I’ve been so quiet everyone, @IvankaTrump has had me locked up in her shoe closet. Packing up to go visit my pal @netanyahu and open our new embassy in Jerusalem! Woop woop! Eat it, everyone! Israel is The Bomb! #booya"

'Gaza's hospitals 'at breaking point': 43 dead, nearly 2000 injured including women & children. No Israeli soldiers reported injured.'

Today "a great day for peace," adds @netanyahu at @usembassyjlm dedication. "You can only build peace on truth."

"Shocking killing of dozens, injury of hundreds by Israeli live fire in #Gaza must stop now. The right to life must be respected. Those responsible for outrageous human rights violations must be held to account. The int'l community needs to ensure justice for victims” – #Zeid.

Embassy/Gaza. Sickening, devastating contrast shown vividly in photos here:

I agree. Just when you think you can cope with ten horror of it all, it gets much worse.

Across don't feel bad. There is nothing you can do.

Despite his support, Trump isn't forcing Bibi to shoot those protesters. I wonder if he's even aware, not that it's an excuse.

If he is, I doubt he cares.

'Scott Pruitt’s EPA and the White House sought to block publication of a federal health study on a nationwide water-contamination crisis, after one Trump administration aide warned it would cause a "public relations nightmare," newly disclosed emails reveal.'

'Bad optics'. That's their concern.

More Palestinians will be killed tomorrow

Yes.

Jim Sciutto reports:
'This comment by Kushner was not included in the official WH transcript: "As we have seen from the protests of the last month and even today, those provoking violence are part of the problem and not part of the solution." '

At the next press briefing, hope someone asks Sneerah why the official White House record has been doctored. Not in the expectation of an actual, believable, answer; just to highlight the obviously deliberate omission.

Okay then.

lion, There are indications that Pompeo is an end-timer, he certainly believes in the Rapture:

'In the past, Pompeo has espoused a fusion of faith and nationalism that has found a welcoming home in the Trump administration. While speaking at a “God and Country Rally” in June 2015 at Wichita’s Summit Church, he read from Scripture before describing the Fourth of July as a time to “recognize the greatness of the founders of our country, the Judeo-Christian nation upon which they framed all that we have built on in the last 239 years.”

Then Pompeo, flanked by an American flag and a Christian flag, declared that “to worship our Lord and celebrate our nation at the same place is not only our right, but it is our duty.” He later added that politics is “a never-ending struggle … until the rapture.” '

I reckon that they like Israel because it keeps 'Them' contained 'somewhere else', lion. (Those who don't believe in the Rapture, of course.)
