There’s a reason why President Trump increasingly sounds like the mob boss in a cliche-ridden gangster film: That’s basically what he is — and he must know how such movies usually end.
On Wednesday morning — a day after his former campaign chairman was convicted of felonies in one federal courthouse and his longtime lawyer pleaded guilty to felonies in another — Trump issued this statement on Twitter:
“I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. ‘Justice’ took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to ‘break’ — make up stories in order to get a ‘deal.’ Such respect for a brave man!”
A few days earlier, Trump had referred to John Dean, the White House counsel whose truth-telling was instrumental in Richard Nixon’s downfall, as a “RAT.” And in a Fox News interview broadcast Thursday, he complained at length about defendants who “flip” and inform on higher-ups in exchange for leniency at sentencing…
A billionaire businessman for president? What could go wrong?
Plenty, according to former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who says President Donald Trump is using his office not to benefit the American people, but to personally enrich himself as part of a “criminal enterprise.”
“The promotion is extraordinary, there hasn’t been a president in my lifetime that’s done anything like this,” Dean, who served as DNC chair from 2005 to 2009, said Tuesday night on MSNBC. Dean said he believes the White House is using the Trump empire to “shake down foreign governments who have moved their events to his hotel in Washington at somebody’s request in order to get favors.”
Trump’s business ventures have sparked much discussion about the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which outlaws accepting gifts or payments from foreign governments. A government watchdog group filed a lawsuit against Trump just three days into his presidency, citing his administration’s “countless conflicts of interest.”
But Dean said the emoluments clause was a “far-flung argument” to nail Trump. Instead, he was putting his faith in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian collusion in the 2016 election, which is possibly branching out into Trump’s financial house of cards.
“I think he’s running a criminal enterprise out of the White House, and I think that’s what Bob Mueller’s on the track of,” Dean said….

So, one of many many problems with this site is the recurring theme that somehow the Republican Party is not completely owned by Donald Trump.
All the words that have been written to go down some silly rabbit hole to try to prove Trump is somehow a secret Democrat certainly went out the window this week.
Trump says jump and the the Republicans in Congress say how high? They have now completely disrespected John McCain and his memory. They are even afraid to say nice things about a departed colleague for fear of enraging their fearless leader.
Is this normal? Is this regular order? Does it even make sense in the real world? These people are so afraid that they won’t cross a man who is has willfully insulted a war hero.
These people are too weak and afraid to cross their leader.
Some profiles in courage, and compared to John McCain, total pussies.
The startling exception seems to be someone I never would have expected — Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who had been in my mind a typical conservative Southern Republican backbencher (very far back), who said on the Senate floor that anyone who criticized John McCain “deserves a whupping”.
¶ Former Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, now Attorney General of the United States, another very far right-wing Southern Republican, issued this far-from-lukewarm statement on Saturday:
“For John McCain, his country was his life. He was tireless in its service. Courage, determination, and relentless drive made him a great leader.
“To me, having served with him in the Senate for 20 years, his support for President Bush’s surge in Iraq at a time when things had been going badly and public support had eroded, was one of the most dramatic, important, patriotic, and selfless actions I had the honor to witness in that body. His presidential aspirations were entirely set aside. He totally deployed his considerable strength and energy to what he believed was best for his country—and in service to those then fighting valiantly for the mission the nation had given them. It was a very contentious debate. His personal dedication and leadership moved a very uncertain decision to a favorable outcome.
“His ferocious tenacity for his country was unmatched. America has lost one of its greatest patriots.”
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-statement-passing-senator-john-mccain
So disagreement on policy is hardly an excuse for Sen. McCain’s fellow Republicans (who were all for McCain-Palin in 2008) to imitate the shameful, petty example of the White House.
Here’s a longer extract from Sen. Isakson’s comments on the passing of his colleague:
…We need to remember that we are all Americans. To those who saved us
as a country, kept our freedom when we were about to lose it, fought
for us, risked their lives, and died for us, we owe it to them, at
times like this, to elevate them to the appropriate place in history.
That is what I am trying to do with John McCain today.
I want to elevate John. John was better than I am, and I know it.
John was the best of my generation. John McCain was and is a great
human being.
I don’t know what is going to be said in the next few days about John
McCain by whomever is going to say it or what is going to be done, but
anybody who in any way tarnishes the reputation of John McCain deserves
a whipping because most of those who would do the wrong thing about
John McCain didn’t have the guts to do the right thing when it was
their turn. We need to remember that.
So I would say to the President or anybody in the world, it is time
to pause and say that this was a great man who gave everything for us.
We owe him nothing less than the respect that he earned, and that is
what I intend to give John in return for what he gave me….

Good Morning people……
The heatwave continues….
Hallo all. I’ve been in Iceland the last 5 days. The only US news I kept up with during my trip was the passing of John McCain.
Iceland was quite simply amazing.
Reyjkjavik is like many other smaller European cities (but with no trains) and the countryside is like Alaska with glaciers, volcanoes, fishing villages and waterfalls.
I rode a bike to the site of the 1986 summit between Reagan and Gorbachev. As a high school kid that was probably the first time I heard of Reykjavik. That summit and the music of Bjork that probably formed my base of knowledge of Iceland for many years.
Welp back home now and slowly getting tuned in to the news.
Have a good one!
Glad you like the place….

U.S. accuses China of ‘super aggressive’ spy campaign on LinkedIn
Warren Strobel, Jonathan Landay
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States’ top spy catcher said Chinese espionage agencies are using fake LinkedIn accounts to try to recruit Americans with access to government and commercial secrets, and the company should shut them down.
William Evanina, the U.S. counter-intelligence chief, told Reuters in an interview that intelligence and law enforcement officials have told LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corp., about China’s “super aggressive” efforts on the site.
He said the Chinese campaign includes contacting thousands of LinkedIn members at a time, but he declined to say how many fake accounts U.S. intelligence had discovered, how many Americans may have been contacted and how much success China has had in the recruitment drive.
German and British authorities have previously warned their citizens that Beijing is using LinkedIn to try to recruit them as spies. But this is the first time a U.S. official has publicly discussed the challenge in the United States and indicated it is a bigger problem than previously known.
Evanina said LinkedIn should look at copying the response of Twitter, Google and Facebook, which have all purged fake accounts allegedly linked to Iranian and Russian intelligence agencies….

The father of the Democratic candidate who lost to Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky in 2014 was indicted Friday for illegally funneling nearly $200,000 to his daughter’s campaign to pay for various services.
Federal prosecutors in Lexington, Kentucky, secured indictments against Gerald Lundergan, a state Democratic party powerhouse and the father of 2014 Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes, on 10 total charges: one count of conspiracy, one count of making corporate campaign contributions, four counts of causing the submission of false statements to the FEC, and four counts of causing the falsification of documents with the intent to obstruct and impede a matter within the FEC’s jurisdiction, according to the charging document.
McConnell defeated Grimes by 16 points in the election….

Morning Everyone….
i hope you are having a Good Holiday weekend…..
John Kasich told CBS News today that ,if he runs for President in 2020 ,it will be as a Republican not an independent.
Kasich reiterated,”I am a Republican.”
That’s what he would say at this point.
Hope dies hard.
Yes indeed,,..
But sometimes that person comes out as correct
At this point I don’t think Kasich eould come close in any GOP primary in 2020.
Neither do I…
Me neither….
RIGHT NOW….
I repeat….
I DO believe thatDpnald Trump will be damaged goods as early as this time next year ….
If my hunch is correct?
Pence will chsllangefd for the nomination on 2020…Trump would out of it…
If Trump is not a candidate in 2020 it will be a whole different ball game with numerous Republican candidates.
My comment on Kasich,and I presume Scott’s, was assuming that Trump is the incumbent.
I understand,…
Lord help us if he looks good for re-election,…
Eight years of the knucklehead , even with a probable Dem House and Senate in 2021 is mot gonna be fun…
I don’t think Trump looks good for re-election–but in the GOP nomination battle I don’t see any one touching him yet.
Well, we’re finally two fifths (40.4%) of the way (590 days out of 1,461) through what we all hope is Donald Trump’s only term.
663 days, or 94 weeks & 5 days since Election Day, 2016
590 days, or 84 weeks & 2 days since Inauguration Day, 2017
TODAY
65 days, or 9 weeks & 2 days until Election Day, 2018
123 days, or 17 weeks & 4 days until the 116th Congress sits

Also his self values seem to have got him ahead of the ballin political situations…
While being the FBI Director is NOT a political job….
Being on THAT pay level requires one to have political instincts….
His where lacking….
In the tail end of the book you see several places where he COULD been better….
Getting ahead of Loretta Lynch on the Clinton investigation…
Putting himself in trouble with Congress by saying he’d report to them instead of letting the AG and Obama White House handle parts of the Clinton probe was dumb…
Announcing the look at the Weiner/Abeden laptop BEFORE they had results was dumb also….
Meeting Trump alone?
He was the only one on that level that was dumb enough to do so…
The others in the intel community wisely stepped back….
I have to finish…
But the guy seems to have a bit of lack of smarts when it comes to certain things…
He does say wonderful things about Barack Obama though…
Comey was so good at things that he has managed to have the Trump AND Clinton people pissed at him….

Does the American DOJ operate as the Trump hammer against free speech?
Trump uses the word ‘Treason’ often when he’s pissed about someone saying something he doesn’t like….
That’s because he is a psychopath.
He, he, he…..
Ok…..
Also?
As with any White House?
There are TONS of leaks….
Obama, Bush and Clinton had the same happen to them…
None of the President’s went to the level of mentioning ‘Treason’….
People ARE scarred of Trump’s impulsive or the rails actions….
People?
We NEED Trump to quit….
If for some reason he doesn’t?
We should be laying the base for him being primaried or at worst not re=elected….
BTW?
Trump is now in Montana dissing Obama’s credit for saving the economy after Bush dropped things in his lap….
So, you are doing what Trump is yourself without even realizing it.
A case can be made that GWB taking the hard step of pushing through the TARP actions is what “saved” the economy. Obama spent eight years blaming him for his problems too.
The one modern President who succeeded another party and never blamed his predecessor publicly was George W. Bush, and he had a lot he could have complained about.
There are leaks in this WH like never before. Regardless of Administration or party, people who worked for previous Presidents and were top level political appointees, actually felt like they were on the same side as the President and had loyalty to him.
This time, not so much.
If this “Steady State” cabal exists at high levels and contains many people, they ought to coordinate better… some should resign and go public and speak about what is happening and why it is so dangerous, and others should stay there and work to stymie the worst impulses of Trump as best they can.
The reason HAS TO be again?
People are worried about the ineptitude of their boss….
How did you just label him?
THAT IS an issue
