Thats OK, US pushes NATO allies to join observer force in Syria the line forms on the right. Now that trump and his supporters have burnt the bridge to every alliance in the world. NK and Russia excepted of course. The 300 troops that trump has decided to leave there. Over the objections of republicans on the foreign relations committee.They want substantially more. Can be joined by Russia, trumps best buddy. Everyone else can sit back and see what Iran does about that. Top Republicans turning on Trump over Middle East troop withdrawals: 'They’re celebrating in Moscow, Iran'

Trump says Huawei charges on the table in China trade talks Today 'A real risk': U.S. warns allies against allowing Huawei in 5G networks Today Trump hints at a softer stance on Huawei in a bizarre '6G' tweet, So Huawei violations of the US trade policy isn't about breaking sanctions. Its about, false imprisonment, false charges and bargaining chips. Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump "I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on......... ....something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology!" 7:59 AM - Feb 21, 2019 So Huawei can spy, no its OK, yes it can. " The prospect of the U.S. retreating on Huawei drew swift pushback from lawmakers of both parties who have repeatedly warned the company could be used as a spying tool for the Chinese government. Huawei is the world's largest provider of telecommunications equipment, and U.S. officials have been crossing the globe warning other countries to steer clear of Huawei and another Chinese telecom firm, ZTE. ... “Huawei and ZTE pose a serious national security threat," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said in a statement following Trump's comments. "They’re Trojan Horses for the Chinese Communist Party, and the free world should stand together in blocking them from our critical infrastructure.” “It would be a major mistake for President Trump to agree to any deal that fails to hold China accountable for its trade abuses and theft of American intellectual property," said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.)." US credibility and the rule of law. That ship sailed two years ago, clearing port Jan. 19, 2017.

No he is a kid. He is a pawn for his school, his religion, his parents and the lawyers. They are all playing and using him for their political purposes. - I direct you to the thread of the christian pastor, GOP candidate in the "Election fraud does exist" thread. Thats the integrity of the christian right. - A school that buses its children to a protest, with the permission of parents. Where the " The Black Hebrew Israelites " a known radical group, on many "watch lists". Is going to be protesting as well. Is not a school in any traditional sense. Its akin to a PAC. In the current climate in the US south. His parents and the actions that the kid undertook. Were nothing less than predictable outcomes. - Any ordinary school that undertook the above. Would have the school administrator fired. - As far as "He should be able to wear whatever hat he wants without an adult getting in his face trying to make some point". He is too young to understand all of the issues to which he is participating. MAGA thats trump politics. "Right to life" let him go to an orphanage, or visit with teenage single moms in depressive hopelessness. "christian school", the hypocrisy stands for itself. He is a product intellectually, now, of his school and his parents.

So next week Mr. Cohen comes to testify about fraud, corruption and racketeering. Ordinary a lawyer can't give up the concept of privilege. Without facing substantial penalty from their clients and the Bar itself. Privilege dosn't exist under the law where the parties act for criminal purpose. trump, conveniently will be out of the country, visiting with a close friend.

It's the trump party now. The last republican leader, a hero, died August 25, 2018. The first challenger to trump will start a rebirth of the republican party.

Yet he seems to be the only ignorant voter in the entire electoral district. Who didn't know the man he hired was known for doing precisely that. Mark Harris(GOP candidate) claimed ignorance despite sworn testimony contrary to that from his own son. Just another lying, crooked politician who should be locked up. "As a Southern Baptist minister for over three decades, Mark Harris has delivered thousands of sermons, spoken at countless Christian rallies and helped lead a statewide campaign in defense of traditional marriage. Now, as a candidate for Congress, the Charlotte Republican has found himself under fire for past comments, particularly about women and gay people. National news outlets published excerpts from sermons in 2013 and 2014 in which he called on women to “submit” to their husbands. A liberal website posted a video of him declaring that America is “floundering in moral decay.” In an interview, his opponent, Democrat Dan McCready, attacked what he calls Harris’ “backward views.” Harris, 55, calls such criticism a distraction Above from Critics find fodder in NC candidate’s sermons on women. He calls it a distraction. So this hero of the Christian right, a Minister in the same church for thirty years. Talks about the moral decay of America. Then engages in perjury, subordination of perjury, election fraud. Republicans applaud as does the christian right. Sounds about right.

Or the mountains of Idaho. Speaking of deplorables. A close friend of trump was just charged. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged in prostitution ring: report Que the NFL and its board of governors. Who just finished paying off Colin Kaepernick.

I don't know dude. You and I have gone back and forth. I'm making only one point. An ambulance chasing lawyer. Has combined with trump supporting parents and their politically active 16 year old. To shake down the Washington post. Not other media, not other parties that acted worse. Its a shakedown. I have stated this same concept more than three times. Yet you keep restating other irrelevant facts and particulars that are irrelevant to that central motivation. You never quoted the pleadings. Which are entirely political. You never substantially addressed the damages to the MAGA 16 year old that chose the encounter. Nor did you address the students school. Which also, initially stated that the student was in the wrong. Which apologized for the actions. Which was never named, nor included as a defendant. When you say you don't know. You have to reflect on the point I'm trying to make. In fact, by the time his school had finished their investigation. Said that they felt he had done nothing wrong.So his own school, maintained the same positions as the WP. The same institution that he had to attend weekly. The one his parents chose. The Washington Post had for a week reported that the entire affair was unclear as to what was going on. No, I am not a WP subscriber, nor a Amazon shareholder. I just have a nose for BS. Especially when lawyers and politicians attempt spin/B.S. When I was 16, I like most kids, could care less about politics. In fact politics was irrelevant until I was mid thirties. He is politically 'conscious" and that arises solely from his parents. There is nothing wrong with that. Its an admirable quality. But if you choose to advocate political ideas. You better have the intellect(the "child", not yourself, my point here) and the breadth of political consciousness to support your positions. I'm not attacking this 16 year old. This is directed at his parents. They chose his religion, his school, to bus him to this "right to life" protest, allow him to wear a MAGA hat. To stand face to face with the native drummer. To approve this lawyer/political shakedown. My issue is with them. I have said all I'm going to say on this matter.

So why isn't Bill Maher a defendant? Trevor Noah ? All of the other news organizations? The WP isn't an internet bully. They have 1st amendment protections as a genuine new organization. Why are these other bullies not named as defendants. With the tremendous, egregious, damages to a 16 year old child's, business and interpersonal relationships. Stated in new pleadings? Beyond that. How did this "kid',"child" from the Covington Catholic family. Together with all the other "children" get to this abortion rally in the first place. If they didn't have a orchestrated political objective that they had formulated on their own. Who did? Who decided that $24 MAGA hats for a substantial number of them. Would assist in the abortion debate?

- There is a concept in law whereby you have to establish a harm. Prove damages. The two have to be related. - What does the WP have to do with a black hate group at the scene. Nobody has said that they either orchestrated the event, aided or abetted it. - This is a ambulance chasing lawyer in the heart of trump country. Kentucky " Donald Trump easily carried Kentucky with 62.54% of the vote, " thats where the case was filed. -The "child" was smiling the whole time he was face to face with the native man. Who subsequently stated that he felt threatened by the "child". The "child" stated on video that he "should have walked away" from the face to face confrontation. Que the defense lawyer "why"? The family has a point, but the lawsuit is almost surely unwinnable. "It is, of course, notable that the family is targeting the Post, President Trump’s media enemy No. 1, and Bezos, whom the president frequently targets as well. Plenty of outlets covered the incident and ran with the initial narrative. “Ironically, other outfits were even more wildly off the mark, but the Post appears to be the designated defendant,” Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, said in an email to Vox. They say it’s not political. Its all about a fishing expedition for a politicized jury in the heart of trump country by a greedy, catholic family, who bought the MAGA hats, were protesting a abortion issue. Then ran into a ambulance chaser Nothing more and nothing less.

"the Truth in 14 minutes" authored by a lawyer, representing a client suing the WP for $250 million. Over a "viral video" that harmed his client. The Covington Teen Is Suing the ‘Washington Post’ for $250 Million "The lawsuit paints Sandmann as an innocent, diminutive child who was sought out by Phillips, and similarly attacked by the Post. “In this country, our society is dedicated to the protection of children regardless of the color of their skin, their religious beliefs, or the cap they wear,” the suit reads. “But the Post did not care about protecting Nicholas. To the contrary, the Post raced with reckless disregard of the facts and truth because in this day and time there is a premium for being the first and loudest media bully. The Post wanted to lead the charge against this child because he was a pawn in its war against its political adversary — a war so disconnected and beyond the comprehension of Nicholas that it might as well have been science fiction.” The family is seeking $250 million in damages specifically because it was the amount Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos paid to acquire the Post in 2013." What a load of F**king B.S. Just another ambulance chasing lawyer. Who was driving to the sound of the sirens and got lost. Don't get me wrong Coreece, I get the point you're trying to make.This case is not the piece of evidence to lead with. To sell your case. This lawyer is another Michael Avenatti, looking for his second of fame. Don't buy the narrative, I hope Bezos and the WP. Flesh out every ounce of BS from the lawyer and his client. This is a direct quote from his lawyer, on FOX news as interviewed by Sean Hannity: "He was a child. He was accosted by adults. The Black Hebrew Israelites as your clip shows yelling the most obscene slurs at these boys, homophobic, racist slurs. " Sandmann Attorney Lin Wood

How about this explanation? Documents detail multimillion-dollar ties involving EPA official, secretive industry group "The nation’s biggest coal-burning power companies paid a top lobbying firm millions of dollars to fight a wide range of Obama-era environmental rules, documents obtained by POLITICO reveal — shortly before one of the firm’s partners became President Donald Trump’s top air pollution regulator. " There are reasons why there are so many leaks from the trump gangster regime. Corruption, the swamp, insider profiteering, racketeering, etc. Take your pick. Back to Marc. To answer the question.

Chicago police: Jussie Smollett staged attack 'because he was dissatisfied with his salary' Narcissistic, self-aggrandizing behaviors are not limited to trump. Although trump certainly sets the faux-gold standard. Right Marc?

Easy, easy. In 2021 the dems will introduce free health care and your meds will be free. Then in only 24 more years The US will become ‘minority white’ in 2045, Census projects But for every sunny day, some rain must fall: 2020 Dems unify around assault weapons ban See, the pendulum swings one way, then back the other way.

You want to talk about a trump hater who staged an attack on himself. But claim its thread drift when terror attacks are planned or stopped by white supremacists/trumpateers! Ironic huh? Here is a trumpie charged with multiple counts of assault. Upon peaceful elderly protestors. Plow driver charged after 'intentionally' spraying anti-Trump protesters with slush "A snow plow driver in Massachusetts is facing criminal charges after he allegedly targeted a group of anti-Trump protesters Monday. John C. Pimental, 31, is accused of intentionally spraying the demonstrators with snow, water and ice during their rally in Falmouth on Presidents Day. ... “The average age of people who come out is over 65; I’m 72 myself,” she said. “We come out to peacefully demonstrate. Occasionally people give us the finger, honk their horns or yell and gesture. We have seen some hostility, but nothing like this.” Utah man charged with federal hate crime in alleged ‘kill a Mexican’ attack "I'm here to kill a Mexican"... A federal grand jury charged Alan Dale Covington, 50, with three counts of committing hate crime charges ... He is accused of shouting "I hate Mexicans" and "I'm here to kill a Mexican" before the alleged attack. He is also accused of asking if shop owner Jose Lopez and his 18-year-old son Luis Gustavo Lopez were "part of the Mexican mafia." MAGA

Hate group count hits 20-year high amid rise in white supremacy White Supremacist Coast Guard Lieutenant Was Allegedly Plotting Mass Terrorist Attack " A Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist accused of plotting a mass killing was arrested after federal investigators ... was contemplating chilling acts of domestic terror to sow violence and disorder, including biological attacks and tainting American food supplies, contemplated ways to “kill almost every last person on earth” according to court documents. ... “establish a white homeland.” See Marc, a white homeland for trump and his supporters. No brown, black or yellow people. A AR-15 for everyone. Just a few biological and attacks on the food supplies to achieve that. MAGA. Steve King, white supremacy and the problem with Donald Trump "But the Republican response to King also exposed uncomfortable truths about the party’s penchant for attracting white nationalists: the individual most championed by the latter’s movement resides in the White House. “In many respects, Steve King was the easier target to go after. The harder target is Donald Trump,” said Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican national committee. “We have had now three years of Donald Trump, as candidate for president and as president, espousing very similar views,” he added. Trump, much like King, has made sharp anti-immigrant sentiment central to his platform." Five years of cultivating hate and white supremacy. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Supreme Court strikes down mandatory victim surcharges " The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a law that sparked a near rebellion among judges is a form of cruel and unusual punishment, and therefore unconstitutional. ... The case before the Supreme Court involved several impoverished offenders from Ontario and Quebec, including a blind, mentally ill woman with a monthly income of $831. She had pleaded guilty to assault and uttering threats, and faced a surcharge of $200. The appeal courts in Ontario and Quebec had ruled the mandatory surcharge constitutional." The pecuniary proportionality of the ruling stands in Canada's favor. But the point of your argument is refuted by the fact the struck ruling was a federal statute.

Wilson: $13 billion Space Force cost estimate is ‘conservative’ "They also question why Wilson is asking for 13,000 new people to form the Space Force, instead of moving more existing personnel into the new service. " How much will the Space Force cost, and what’s it going to look like? "Shanahan noted at multiple points that President Donald Trump and Mick Mulvaney, head of the Office of Management and Budget, have explicitly directed the department to not add any overhead. “People get an allergic reaction to adding overhead or unnecessary bureaucracy,” he said. “I’ve been with the president at multiple times. He always hammers on me: ‘Are you taking cost out? Are you reducing unnecessary regulations? Are you reducing bureaucracy?’ ” By not having a firm plan in hand, the Defense Department could be opening itself to a smaller, more limited version of the Space Force that still allots the Air Force a great deal of say-so on space." Space Command More Important Than Space Force: CSAF Goldfein; Trump Signs SPD-4 " It’s another clear sign of lack of support within the Pentagon for a major shift to its organizations to please President Trump’s sudden adoption of the Space Force. (I’m looking forward to the Ph.D analyses of rhetoric’s role in the president’s decision to create both Space Command and the Space Force. If they didn’t sound so cool, would the changes have been made?) Space Policy Directive 4 directs the Defense Secretary to write a legislative proposal for Congress to set up the Space Force and create a civilian undersecretary of the Air Force for space, who will be a Senate-confirmable position. it also recommits the administration to creating Space Command, a more complicated, and potentially, expensive enterprise than the Space Force, most of which already exists." Well trump did promise to create jobs.

-" MBS bragged to the Emirati crown prince and others that Kushner was “in his pocket,” the source told The Intercept. Saudi Crown Prince Boasted That Jared Kushner Was “In His Pocket”, November 2017 -Brookfield Business Partners Completes Acquisition of Westinghouse Electric Company, August 01, 2018 -Kushners Unload 666 Fifth Ave. to Brookfield in 99-Year Lease, August 3, 2018 U.S. Makes Shortlist for Saudi Nuclear-Plant Deal " Saudi Arabia has put the U.S. on its shortlist of potential partners competing to build nuclear-power plants in the kingdom, while the two countries negotiate how to do a deal without spreading nuclear weapons, Energy Secretary Rick Perry said. ... Mr. Perry told reporters Wednesday the kingdom recently made a decision that keeps U.S. businesses— foremost Westinghouse Electric Co.—in the mix for what could ultimately become a market worth tens of billions of dollars. ... The administration has felt pressure to help the U.S. nuclear industry land a deal for new business at a time when its domestic market is rapidly shrinking. The Saudis, for their part, have used the competition to try to drive better terms and protect their own right to enrich uranium or reprocess spent fuel. " So I'll summarize. The US nuclear industry is shrinking. Poor Jared Kushner can't get financing for his building because its loosing money. Brookfield takes a 99 year lease on the building to help Jared get financing on his (previously) money loosing property. Then Brookfield buys into a money and shrinking nuclear reactor building company, Westinghouse. Viola, Westinghouse is shortlisted and promoted by trump to the Saudi's to buy 18 reactors. Without restrictions on reprocessing. Except for those pesky Dems and whistle-blowers.

In this case allegiance to the Benjamins. But it appears as if the Dems want to ruin the trump-MBS brofest. Dems launch investigation into Trump administration's dealings with Saudi Arabia " Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee announced Tuesday they are launching an investigation into the Trump administration’s dealings with Saudi Arabia after several whistleblowers expressed concern about efforts to sell the kingdom nuclear technology. ... senior White House officials pushed for the sale of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia despite warnings from ethics advisers and national security officials to stop. ... The report cites several unnamed whistleblowers who said they witnessed “abnormal acts” inside the White House regarding efforts to sell Saudi Arabia nuclear energy reactors. The whistleblowers “have warned of conflicts of interest among top White House advisers that could implicate federal criminal statutes,” House report lays bare White House feud over Saudi nuclear push " A consulting firm once linked to former national security adviser Michael Flynn is continuing to push President Donald Trump to endorse a plan to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia, despite warnings from whistleblowers that their earlier efforts appeared to violate U.S. law, House Democrats said in a report Tuesday.... a meeting with Trump last week where executives from companies such as Westinghouse, General Electric, Exelon, Centrus Energy, NuScale, TerraPower and LightBridge pitched the president to help them win contracts in the Middle East and elsewhere. The Trump administration is already on board with that effort, and Energy Secretary Rick Perry traveled to Saudi Arabia as recently as December to discuss a nuclear power deal ... But IP3 executives were preparing to move ahead with a deal to build nuclear plants in Saudi Arabia without an agreement to limit the country's program to a civilian energy production, according to the House report. Based on accounts and documents provided by whistleblowers, the report said one of IP3’s top officials delivered the firm's nuclear plan to Flynn on Jan. 28, 2017 to pass along to Trump, and another document at the same time for Trump to recommend to the National Security Council. The firm kept pushing its idea through various channels even though political and career officials warned it circumvented national security protocol. In another letter to Salman, IP3's co-founders boasted of the inroads the firm had made with the Trump administration," Evidently Saudi consular limo's were pulling up to the back door of the WH and wheelbarrows filled with Benjamins were getting carted up to the Lincoln bedroom. trump parks it under a little plaque in that room: “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”

Fixed it for you.

trump's buddy MBS is on track to acquire nuclear missiles. trump approves! The Saudi government is nearing completion of a new missile development and manufacturing base. Satellite images show Saudi Arabia constructs missiles factory and Saudi Arabia’s missile race A new rocket factory is stoking fears of nuclear proliferation While trump and his sidekick Rick Perry pursue a 16 reactor, $80 billion deal with MBS. Selling Saudis the Nuclear Rope to Hang US Trump's silence on a Saudi nuclear bomb Why Saudi Arabia Will Acquire Nuclear Weapons " The Saudi regime insists on producing its own nuclear fuel, which would be different from terms the United States has negotiated with some other states, including the United Arab Emirates, that have sought U.S. assistance in developing their nuclear programs. The Saudis have balked at comprehensive international inspections to detect any work on nuclear weapons. And Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) has explicitly threatened to develop nuclear weapons, ostensibly in response to any similar development by Iran. " The Crown Prince May Build Himself a Nuclear Kingdom U.S. lawmakers seek oversight over any Saudi nuclear power deal " Saudi Arabia could use nuclear power to develop a weapons program mounted after the crown prince told CBS in an interview in March that his kingdom would develop nuclear weapons if its archrival Iran did. . The talks have slowed as Saudi pushed for relaxing nonproliferation guidelines, known as the “gold standard,” that could allow it to enrich uranium or reprocess fuel waste. Those processes raise concerns because they have potential to create quantities of uranium and plutonium that could be used in nuclear bombs. " Which is OK because MBS is courting a known proliferator of reprocessing and bomb technology. Pakistan will always stand by Saudi Arabia From the Saudi Gazette . $20 billion investment is phase one: Saudi Crown Prince "Pakistan and Saudi Arabia usher in a new era of bilateral relationship by signing investment deals worth more than $20 billion during visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who arrived in Islamabad on Sunday. The unprecedented Saudi investment is seen as a 'game changer' and major boost for Pakistan's struggling economy, which now gets a much-needed breather space to negotiate better terms and conditions with International Monetary Funds." With MBS on track to spend $100-150 billion to get nuclear armed ballistic missiles. There should be no doubts as to how favorably MBS will favor his sponsor, trump. For holding Iran back while the Saudi program gets on track.

Thats all news to me, if true, thanks.

"Just to be clear, she only thinks that because she knows that this national emergency won't bring the wall that they want. She already said she'd jump back onboard if he gets a real plan going for the wall. They also think their mutual puffery is charming. That's what they love about each other." Coreece Both of these comments are spot on. I made a couple changes to Coreece's. Normally trump goes into full pitbull mode when anyone points out a failure/mistake/lie, of his. But he has never done it to Coulter. Most likely because he sees himself in her character. Plus he figures he'd like to jump her skinny bones sooner or later. Should the chance arise. "‘We Know Trump’s Telling the Truth’ About Border Wall ‘Because Jussie Smollett Swears He’s Seen It’ Ann Coulter Jokes “Trump talks a good game on the border wall but it's increasingly clear he's afraid to fight for it. Call this his ‘Yellow New Deal,’” Coulter tweeted. Face it, little brown people in America terrify them both and they both have those fake yellow/blonde hairdos on the go. "Coulter has also stated that Trump should face a Republican primary for 2020 if he does not deliver on building the wall, which was his biggest campaign promise."

I have to agree with jakee on this one. She is a nutball nazi. Coulter is just one of the few on the far right to call trump out for caving. trump and Coulter are both evil.Coulter can be dismissed because her pulpit is far smaller than America's national idiot.
