 goodness gracious, great balls of autogolpe as Trump tries to blame China for the Russian Hack

In 2017 Ivanka Trump was fast tracked trademarks by China. Including ones for coffins and voting machines.

If his puckered lips are moving, he’s lying, but the circular limit to that lie is that Ivanka has Chinese trademarks for, …. wait for it, voting machines. So this is all a delusional branding exercise,.. again. The firehose of disinformation is dribbling again, alwaystm but it dependstm on the magnitude of the desperation. Trump claims the Chinese did the Russian cyber-hack, but Pompeo says otherwise, definitely.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Contradicting his secretary of state and other top officials, President Donald Trump on Saturday suggested without evidence that China — not Russia — may be behind the cyberattack against the United States and tried to minimized its impact.

In his first comments on the breach, Trump scoffed at the focus on the Kremlin and downplayed the intrusions, which the nation’s cybersecurity agency has warned posed a “grave” risk to government and private networks.

“The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control,” Trump tweeted. He also claimed the media are “petrified” of “discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!).”

There is no evidence to suggest that is the case. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said late Friday that Russia was “pretty clearly” behind the cyberattack against the United States.

“This was a very significant effort and I think it’s the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians that engaged in this activity,” Pompeo said in the interview with radio talk show host Mark Levin.

Officials at the White House had been prepared to put out a statement Friday afternoon that accused Russia of being “the main actor” in the hack, but were told at the last minute to stand down, according to one U.S. official familiar with the conversations who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

It is not clear whether Pompeo got that message before his interview, but officials are now scrambling to figure out how to square the disparate accounts. The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the statement or the basis of Trump’s claims. The State Department also did not respond to questions about Pompeo’s remarks.

So, Ivanka Trump gained 23 trademarks in China including coffins plus voting machines, Jared Kushner used the White House to find debt loaners for himself, and both made $ 413 million while “working” in daddy Trump’s administration, but Joe Biden’s son Hunter is the problem? Sure.

“All gods, the pagan as well as the Christian ones, have possessed a real existence. Did not the ancient Moloch reign? Was not the Delphic Apollo a real power in the life of the Greeks?”

Then there’s whether he’ll skip the inaugural.

But not all transitions have been quite so cordial. If he insists on staying away, Trump would be the fourth incumbent to refuse to attend the inauguration of his successor, Thomas Balcerski, associate history professor at Eastern Connecticut State University, told Newsweek.

The first incumbent no-show was John Adams in 1801, who faced a challenge from his own vice president Thomas Jefferson.

At the time, electors voted twice, with the vice presidency and presidency going to the candidates with the second-highest and highest number of votes. A tie between Jefferson and running mate Aaron Burr was followed by the House of Representatives choosing Jefferson and ending Adams’ tenure. Before the ceremony, he left Washington at 4 a.m. on March 4, the date for inaugurations until 1933.

His son John Quincy Adams followed suit, leaving Washington before the celebrations of Andrew Jackson in 1829. Meanwhile in 1869, Andrew Jackson Johnson, who like Trump had survived an impeachment trial, refused to attend the inauguration of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, preferring instead to stay in the White House to sign legislation.

Circumstances rather than point-blank refusals were behind the inauguration absences of three other incumbents.

In 1921, poor health prevented Woodrow Wilson from attending Warren G. Harding’s inauguration, although they did ride from the White House to the Capitol together.

On August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon resigned at noon and flew off in Marine One, after which Gerald Ford took the oath of office in the White House.

Another presidential no-show occurred on March 4, 1841 when President-elect William Henry Harrison rode to the Capitol on a white charger. Incumbent Martin Van Buren was nowhere to be seen, although his vice president, Richard Mentor Johnson, did attend Harrison’s inauguration. However, Van Buren was probably not invited by Harrison to participate so it would not be qualified as a snub, Balcerski said.

Trump Attempts To Catch Hunter Biden In Trap Labeled ‘Free Crack’

October 17, 2020   Humor
blank Trump Attempts To Catch Hunter Biden In Trap Labeled ‘Free Crack’

WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Trump is attempting to get to the bottom of what’s going on with Hunter Biden and Ukraine. In order to catch Hunter Biden and turn him over to the authorities, the president put out a box propped up by a stick tied to a rope. The box was labeled “Free Crack” and contained a large quantity of crack cocaine underneath.

“Any second now,” Trump muttered to himself as he waited in a nearby bush. “Here, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. Here, boy. That’s it, nice and slow. Fantastic crack cocaine over here — extremely pure stuff. The best crack cocaine, maybe ever!”

Growing impatient, Trump resorted to more drastic measures. “What’s this over here on the lawn!?” he shouted. “Wow! That looks like crack cocaine to me! Looks like fantastic stuff! Sure would be a shame if someone were to come along and pick it up!”

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Trump saw rustling in a nearby bush. Biden fell for the trap and dove for the crack cocaine. “Got him!” cried Trump as he pulled the string. Unfortunately, Biden was too quick and managed to smoke all the crack and roll out from under the box before Trump could catch him.

Trump was last seen attempting to bait another trap labeled “Free Hookers.”

Trump and Kim love notes: ‘deep special friendship between us will work as a magical force’

 Trump and Kim love notes: deep special friendship between us will work as a magical force

Bob Woodward acquired 27 “love letters” Trump exchanged with the North Korean dictator. Kim flattered Trump in these missives by repeatedly calling him “Your Excellency”; he also remarked that there’s a “deep and special friendship between us will work as a magical force”. Kim writes in one letter that meeting again would be “reminiscent of a scene from a fantasy film”

Killing one’s half-brother using a reality-TV pretext to deliver VX neurotoxin and killing one’s uncle with multiple anti-aircraft guns makes for graphic accounts worthy of stories for Trump. Magical Force indeed.

“Kim describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a ‘fantasy film’, as the two leaders engage in an extraordinary diplomatic minuet”.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s comments about the threat from the novel coronavirus attracted widespread attention after excerpts from journalist Bob Woodward’s book “Rage” were released. The excerpts also provide new details about the president’s thoughts on North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, racial unrest and a mysterious new weapon that Trump claims other world powers don’t know about.

Some of the other topics covered in the book, which was based on 18 interviews that Woodward conducted with Trump between December and July and with others (excerpts from the book were reported by The Washington Post, where Woodward is an editor, and CNN):

NORTH KOREA

Woodward wrote that Trump said he was impressed with Kim when he first met the North Korean leader in Singapore in 2018 and that Kim was “far beyond smart.” Trump also said that Kim “tells me everything” and even gave the president a graphic account of how Kim had his own uncle killed.

As he engaged in nuclear arms talks with Kim, Trump dismissed intelligence officials’ assessments that North Korea would never give up its nuclear weapons. Trump told Woodward that the CIA has “no idea” how to handle Pyongyang.

apnews.com/…

The 67-year-old (Jang Song-thaek) was considered the second most powerful official in North Korea and was killed immediately after a military trial in 2013 after being accused of trying to ‘destabilise the country’ after a meeting with Chinese officials in 2012.

 Trump and Kim love notes: deep special friendship between us will work as a magical force

Its title is derived from a conversation Woodward had with Trump at Trump’s hotel in Washington on 31 March 2016, the same discussion which produced the title for Fear.

Responding to Woodward’s contention that the Republican party had become home to “a lot of angst and rage and distress”, the then candidate for the party’s presidential nomination said:

“I bring rage out. I do bring rage out. I always have. I think it was … I don’t know if that’s an asset or a liability, but whatever it is, I do.”

Trump Commits another Felony

September 4, 2020   Humor

Everyone has probably heard that Trump told Republicans in North Carolina to vote twice, once by absentee ballot and once in person. That’s actually a Class I felony in North Carolina.

For any person with intent to commit a fraud to register or vote at more than one precinct or more than one time, or to induce another to do so, in the same primary or election, or to vote illegally at any primary or election.

The next day, Trump said the same thing to Georgians. It is pretty obvious that Trump is just sowing chaos.

Hypocritically, Trump himself condemned what he is now doing, saying in May:

If you told a Republican to vote twice, they’d get sick at even the thought of it.

Trump is only 62% fascist or 29 Benitos short of a dictatorship

August 22, 2020   Humor
 Trump is only 62% fascist or 29 Benitos short of a dictatorship


WaPo published an update to the estimation of whether Trump was more than a rhetorical trope as a fascist, or more of an actual, historical fascist.

29 more “Benitos” to go, Trump has yet to win reelection by rigged balloting and only has a fraction of the population incarcerated. Ripping children from their parents, and increasing disproportionate wealth by exploiting the Treasury are not so fascistic to the WaPo article writer. Not being an economic historian, John O’Neil does undersell the effects on the US economy with a looming recession. 

Capitalists were in bed with Hitler and Mussolini, willing to deficit spend for global conquest. Ferdinand Porsche’s tanks and Hugo Boss’s uniforms. Aside from the use of slave labor, there were those Nobel Prize nominations for Hitler, so Trump has a shot, considering how Spain, Chile, Argentina, and Belarus managed their dictatorships

Trump’s more about the kleptocracy than a thousand year Reich, leaving the world war for the second term. Destroying democracy might then garner a few more Benitos. Darn weighting is much like the dimensions from Trump’s physical exams or his dementia tests. Tim Snyder does leave more room for the kinds of tyranny that we are currently enduring and that may run rampant in the Trump second term. Just because we aren’t there doesn’t mean history won’t get us there. 

So where does Trump’s administration stand as he is nominated for a second term? He earned 47 of a possible 76 Benitos, or 62 percent. He remains the greatest threat to American democracy since the Civil War, but his exercise of power only partly resembles that of real fascists. He still faces checks and balances in Washington. He hasn’t shut down rival parties or uncompliant media.

He has not directed the armed might of the state against citizens on anything like the scale used by Mussolini, let alone Hitler. He does not have his own obedient “squadristi” eager to beat up foes, even if plenty of his followers advocate (and sometimes indulge in) violence against minorities and Trump’s opponents. He has not arranged the murder of prominent political opponents. The cult of violence is integral to fascism but far less central to Trump. He is not ruling like a genuine fascist.  

But he has shown pronounced fascistic leanings. In the right circumstances — a crisis he could manage triumphantly, a more sympathetic military — perhaps he would try to extend his rule beyond whatever the voters allow him and convert the United States into a repressive, racist dictatorship. Or perhaps stage phony elections that hand the reins to Ivanka and Jared. At least a few members of Congress would probably support him, just as many parliamentarians voted to give Mussolini and Hitler emergency powers. Those lawmakers did not know at the time just where fascism might lead. We have a clearer idea.

Trump is the kind of screw-loose blowhard who has inspired all too many of us to play armchair psychiatrist. We’ve been putting him on the couch for the entire run of his presidency. So most, if not all, of the insights presented by the upcoming documentary “#Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump” (it drops on Aug. 28) will be familiar to any student of TISDS (Trump Is Seriously Deranged Syndrome).

Trump, as Dan Partland’s film explains, is a malignant narcissist. (Has there ever been a DSM diagnosis that sounded like more of a direct insult?) The film details the four qualities in Trump that define that syndrome: his paranoia (the feeling that any journalist who asks him a challenging question, or any staff member who doesn’t kiss his ring, is out to get him); his anti-social personality disorder (the constant lying, the lack of remorse about even the most destructive things he does); the sadism (the thousands of vicious attacks and insults in his tweets); and…well, his narcissism (do I need to detail that?).

In addition, the film analyzes his propensity to create and live in his own reality. It explores his absence of empathy — which, of course, is the defining quality of the sociopath. (They’re not insane; they just don’t care about you — or anyone else.) And it compares him to Hitler and Mussolini, and to the authoritarian leaders of our own time.

[…]

“#Unfit” never gets into what I’ve always thought of as the most mentally unsound aspect of the Trump personality, which is this: We all know how many lies he has told in office (and for years beforehand), since it’s well- documented. But apart from the sheer scurrilousness of his daily fraudulence, one has to wonder: What does telling that many lies, to the point that he may actually believe a lot of them, do to a person’s head? What reality is Donald Trump living in? If we knew the answer to that, they could title a new disorder after it, one he’d probably be proud to have his name on.
