Re: Here’s What Congress Should Ask Michael Cohen

faster — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 21:13:26 -0000

I don't know how all these questions could even be ASKED, let alone answered, in just one day. And even if it was possible, there has to be GOBS more that we ought to know of from Cohen.
There should be enough days of testimony from him that will allow ALL the questions and ALL the answers. We're talking about decades of shenanigans here.
Someone should also ask him to reveal anything and everything he has ever heard from ANY Republican that is damning and conspiratorial. Like how to hurt and kill brown people, as well as discussing the best ways to be corrupt and hateful.
There's one comfort we can embrace. Cohen has every reason in the world to be EAGER to reveal any and all crime committed by Trump. Trump was abysmally stupid to throw Cohen under the bus on a pardon. If Cohen had thought he'd get one, we wouldn't be where we are now.
So should we be THANKING Trump for making Cohen available to nail Trump to the wall? An odd question, that, and it's only plausible in a world that revolves around our Lardo-in-Chief.
Cohen is a complete worm. But now he's likely to spill every last frijol, and I might even be able to approve of reducing his sentence - a little bit. He's still the worm he always was, y'know.
Does anyone know where Cohen will spend his time? Hope not in one of those federal VIP prisons. His "remorse" shouldn't gain him THAT MUCH.

No, I didn't know he was black, but that doesn't change anything I said. There are blacks who hate Mexicans, too, and so they are also maggots. There just aren't a whole big bunch of them.
As for blacks, I learned, ON MY OWN, that they are my human equals, because my dad taught me the system of Norwegian Freethinking. He didn't teach me what to think. He taught me HOW TO THINK. I had to make my own conclusion about blacks, and as long as I had done my homework, my dad would accept my opinion, even if he had a different one. As it turned out, we had the same opinion.
How many dads in this world are willing to have their kids disagree with them on issues or religion? Mine was like that - it only mattered that I did my homework on the issue thoroughly. And, of course, if I learned new stuff, I could revise a former opinion.
About blacks, I have never done that. Never will.
It takes a VERY small mind to hate someone because of his skin color. Well... maybe I'm a bigot, too, because I feel racist about someone who is ORANGE. Still, I should hold off on hating orange people, because, after all, the Oompah Loompahs have never done anyone harm. So it's only ONE orange person I detest.

This is one of the many maggots who "HATE MEXICANS!!" and don't even know anything about Mexico or Mexicans, except that he's required to hate them all and want them all dead. That's simple enough. For the simple minded. He doesn't even know WHY he hates them. He just DOES. And committed a crime based on his abysmal ignorance about the people of and from Mexico.
I'm as white as he is. I've lived 24 years in Mexico, and I love it. There are some who do hate Americans, probably because someone they knew had bad experiences, but hatred is NOT a part of being Mexican. Most are distrustful of Americans, at least at first, but they usually give you a chance to prove you're not a maggot.
I live in a better place. I'm dying, and my neighbors have pitched in to help me. After the hospital, one of them brought me a hot meal every day for months, till I got my strength back. I didn't ask, and she didn't ask for money. I gave her money to compensate for the expense of feeding me, which is only decent.
Now she's had toes amputated, and I'm lending her some of my medical materials and equipment. We rather like each other a lot.
Generosity of spirit has been replaced in America mostly by hates of all kinds. Americans are hysterical and obsessive about their hatreds (at least 1/3, who are Trumpistas are).
It seems to escape millions of Americans that when you hate, you can NEVER be happy or content. All you have is hate. You scraped off all the other human attributes that can make life pleasant. Like love, compassion, helping others, reaching for accomplishments, and more.
Here, grocery stores and pharmacies will actually DELIVER. They sometimes give you credit (even though many times they're never repaid). Docs make house calls.

I have a health plan better than the ACA. For 24 years, and now I'm really USING IT. Everything is covered. No copays, deductibles or other cheats. When discharged from the hospital, I picked up my 1st month's meds and just left. Everything was already paid for. The care was professional, and will be available to me till I die.
Americans know almost nothing about things that - just might be better somewhere else.
No 2nd Amendment assholes running around. I'm safe, comfortable and content.
It's really a shame that you can't be.

Re: Roger Stone invokes gag order in new fundraiser

Stone is like Trump in the way that he can't keep his mouth shut, and so he is constantly propagandizing, and is unable to stop, even in his own best interests.
How do YOU define "stupid"?
Both men, all their public lives, have been used to succeeding through baldfaced lies, cheating and bullying. If they can't open their pie holes do do these things, they don't know what to do with themselves, especially when what always worked before isn't working any more. So they "gotta" do more lying, cheating and bullying in order to get back to the way things "oughta be."
They can't seem to learn that that dog don't hunt any more. At least not for them. It still seems to work for a lot of extremist Republicans, but these two men have alienated their potential audiences so much that nobody wants to hear them blather any more. Their credibility is used up.
That's a big blow to tender egos. Poor babies.The judge has every right to throw the whole book at him and jail him for violating the gag order. He had his chance, and he blew it.
Looking forward to the "Manafortizing" of Stone. He'll be locked up till he's tried, and then convicted. Guess he couldn't learn from Manafort's experience. Probably thinks he's smarter than Manafort. He may or may not be, but they both have their "stupid" in common.
Can't wait till Trump learns this same lesson, the same way Manafort - and hopefully Stone - have done.

Re: World leaders ridicule Trump for ‘incoherent’ G7 behavior

While Trump divorces America from the community of nations, he seems to have forgotten that those nations will plod forward, even with out us. I guess he expected them to crumble and plead to him for mercy or something. His "true believers" are enjoying seeing him thumb his nose at world leaders. Too stupid to think of consequences. Too stupid and ARROGANT.
What he is doing is leaving the U.S. behind in every respect, on the global scale. The only partner is now Russia. Isn't what we know of Trump's abandonment of our allies and devotion to Putin enough to convict him?
Be sure the Trumpistas know that by removing America from the global community, he has signed a manifesto declaring America a Banana Republic and a surrogate of a dictator, while the rest of the world passes us by..
We're being left behind in the dust.
We were once leaders, because we had innovation skills and power in many arenas, and we also had respect and trust among many nations.
Trump has just erased ALL OF IT. For no other reason than...Putin.
And Putin is all that counts. Trumpistas are merely tools to be used and thrown out when no longer needed. They're too stupid to figure that out, even though it's large and very obvious.
Mueller's efforts will be for naught if something isn't done VERY SOON to stop this fascist coup.

You have to wonder when the Trumpistas will get the drift that they're being euchred by this fascist regime. How can they not notice that the only places they can hear the fascist propaganda is on a VERY few, well known slime sites like Fox, Limbaugh et al. EVERY other news site has stuff that puts the lie to what they've been told. Sooner or later, shouldn't some of them begin to doubt?
If that isn't happening, guess what? Their brains have been washed, filled with slime, and then locked up tight, so nothing else can enter.
Which means that 1/'3 of our population has been rendered mentally CRIPPLED. Normal people would NEVER be that fixed in their minds. They might argue with us, but at least they'd HEAR us and just get mad. Instead, when someone says something not in their programming, they usually just switch off. That isn't normal.
The real clincher that they're brainwashed is the simple fact that they will CHEERFULLY vote against their OWN best interests - every time, too. They'll become fierce activists on things like health care, which has benefited them hugely - but they want it gone! That is PROOF of brainwashing.
Jimmy Kimmel got some Trumpists to sign up for the ACA by calling it "Trumpcare." They were told they didn't know it was passed, and they LEAPED to get it. He used their hate to do them a favor...
They are victims, but they're not innocent ones, because you can't brainwash (hypnotize) someone into things that he/she regards as immoral. They got brainwashed, using their hate and fanaticism as the hook to hang it on. If they had been normal, the hypnotism wouldn't "take."
So they were slimy to begin with,and were then crippled by Republican brainwashing.
We need an investigation into brainwashing. We've needed it for a LONG TIME.
It's time to stop pretending that brainwashing is just the stuff of fiction, like James Bond. It is REAL, AND IT WORKS.

Re: Trump angrily tweets 'Witch Hunt' at news that Stone indicted - ABC News

Trump is getting pathetic. He said the same things about Manafort's great courage, until he started to hate him when he flipped.
Mr. Stone? It'll be the same with you. Trump is only trying to get you to THINK he might pardon you. But he won't. And if you flip, he'll turn on you the same way he did with Manafort.
BTW, Mr. Stone, criminal courts do not vindicate anyone. "Not guilty" only means there wasn't enough evidence to convict. The person could still be guilty as sin.
And BTW again, Mr. Mueller isn't like the "lock her up" Trumpsters, who'd wanted to see Hillary in jail, no trial needed.
Mr. Mueller is known for only issuing indictments when he already HAS abundant evidence.
So, Mr. Stone, try to keep hoping for a pardon, because that's the only way you'll avoid an orange jumpsuit. And don't expect much leniency if you do flip - but you might get lucky and get some.
Even without a suspect flipping, Mueller's indictments are so thorough, they're convictions waiting to happen. So flipping will be your only hope of less jail time.

Please take note of what you are NOT getting back in America. I moved to Mexico when I became UNINSURABLE at any cost after spinal surgery.
When I got there, I got IMSS, the Mexican NATIONAL health care plan. It covers EVERYTHING, including outpatient meds and office visits at IMSS, and all ongoing care for your problem. I walked out of their hospital after 9 days, and didn't have to open my purse, except to put my first month of meds in it. I'm 74, so I pay more than average, about $500U.S. per YEAR.
The ACA was a wonderful first step, but to get it passed at ALL they had to allow the private sector to remain as involved as ever - big insurance and big pharma, particularly. The only way to get their greed out of the ACA is to move the whole thing to Medicare, which already has a setup that will make the conjunction easy to manage.
And Medicare, even now, doesn't discriminate against age or pre-existing conditions.
Neither does MY health care. It never did. And it never had copays or deductibles, either.
And, oh, BTW, the care I got was highly professional. I've had it now for 24 years. Used it twice, and am still receiving expensive care as an outpatient. Already paid for. Think what it would have been like if you'd had such a plan for those same 24 years.
In a word, you're still being royally screwed, Americans. Just not - quite - as much.
It would pay you well to learn what other national health care plans have. You'd find that even the ACA can't compare. It's still putrid coverage, thanks to the private sector and to the Republicans.

There's a slight difference between competition among the same party and competition against a hostile party. Bernie did what all other primary candidates did - tried to show themselves as a better choice, and the in-fighting can become unlovely. But Bernie wasn't the only one, and I never saw ANY real animosity in him for anyone in the primaries. Within a party, it's a competition; between parties, it's a war. Nor was supporting Hillary the least bit hypocritical on his part. On the contrary, it was very courageous of him, and WISE.
Today, most Americans still (ignorantly) think socialism is like soft communism, and evil. Actually we already ARE a socialist country. What is it that makes the Post Office, Social Security and Medicare so good? Socialism, because that's precisely what they ARE. Our most beloved institutions are socialistic by nature.
I followed him closely, and he made nobody a sap or sucker; that was just Republican propaganda. Aren't you yet able to recognize even THAT?

I think he carries less "baggage" than he did when he ran. The Rs portrayed him as a kind of soft communist, because he was a socialist. It was wrong, and we can see it now, so that baggage is inapplicable to him now. They came up with ZERO scandals on him.
The only thing that would make me hesitate to vote for him is his age. He'd need to have a VERY popular and very pragmatic VP.
It's sad, but America is NOT ready yet for another president of color or female. Bernie is white, which will let him get votes from many who'd vote against a POC or a woman. That's a LOT of votes.
Personally, I have a preference for Al Franken. He scared the Rs so much they had to dig DEEP to find something - ANYTHING - that they could make into a scandal. Now they've used up all that stuff!
Franken not only is an expert at the political wars and methods, but he's been able to take the starch out of many Republican shirts, and at the same time make them objects of ridicule. He has a VERY level head.
So if not Bernie, then Franken. As for a woman candidate, I'd definitely lean toward Elizabeth Warren. But we'll need a candidate who, in the totally objective sense, can WIN. In 2020, a woman candidate would be asking to lose. There are too many women-haters, even among Dem voters.
Let's stick with a man, at least in 2020, and then maybe we can take a big bunch of Rs to their well-earned perp-walks.
And above all, we Dems must not even THINK of the nomination as a popularity contest. Opera, even Michelle, are popular, but Michelle says no way would she run.
We need to take hold of our realism and choose for our nominee someone who realistically can WIN. Sex and color are still too dangerous, and we CAN'T afford to lose to Trump (or actually ANY Republican) in 2020.
If our candidate loses, there's a good chance the fascism growing in our country will gain total control.
And THAT would be...BAD. Badder than you might think right now.

I just finished watching an old movie, "Yankee Doodle Dandy" with James Cagney. It's a great musical, but even more, it made me tear up to see what REAL American patriotism used to mean. Take a look at if if you can. It's an eye-opener.

I love him more, because he is now showing us - and we can see it for OURSELVES - that America really DID need a platform of revolutionary change. We didn't make the change, and fascism is what we got. Bernie saw that before almost anybody else. It shows he's able to project what a situation can do into the future. It is not a commonly-held attribute.
He's spot-on about the vital necessity for education to be a first priority. The Trumpsters are living proof of what kind of people are turned out by a lousy school system.

Sanders originally ran on a platform that would become a revolution. Many people either thought he was wrong or thought he was talking about a "hot" war, rather than a huge political movement that would bring revolutionary change. Many also disliked him for saying he was a "socialist." Such people don't know what the word even means, because we already HAVE a lot of socialism in America. Look at our most beloved programs, like the Post Office, SS and Medicare, and you'll realize that socialized programs are always beneficial to the public.
Now, I think multitudes of people will realize they judged wrongly about Sanders. He practically predicted that we'd have a fascist state soon if we didn't actively stop it. Now we have the fascism and lots more are listening. Good.
Let's see how many of our people realize WHY Sanders puts education as our main priority. Betcha lots of people don't realize what lousy education has already DONE to America.
An entire 1/3 of our whole population are profoundly ignorant. Their ignorance made them easily brainwashed. The hate they already had was easily intensified into a virtual hysteria, which is what we have right now. This 1/'3 of Americans have been rendered mentally crippled.
Good education could have prevented ALL of that. The amount of ignorance presently in America is a CRISIS.

I seriously doubt that any ordinary Americans (excluding our haters and fanatics) would even consider having a concentration camp set up in their backyard. If all of Concord is more for it than against it, it means Concord is a bastion of Trumpism.
The Rs can't paper over these facilities by calling them summer camps or vacation spots. They're concentration camps, and everybody in America over the age of 15 knows it. The only question is whether they like it or not.

I'm sure Ms. Sanchez didn't proclaim her opinion as the only one. That's something Republicans do. Maybe they think non-Rs are just like them that way. They are NOT. Even if Concord is a fine place, there are bound to be some fascists among them.

Sending them out of the country would be an atrocity, even if the receiving nation said yes. Which most won't.
Remember "extreme rendition"? They'd take captives to other countries so THEY could do the torturing.
How quickly people seem to forget.
But you're right. The places they're putting immigrants, and especially children (all over the country) are concentration camps. They never intended to give the kids back. They relied on the parents being poor and unable to raise bail. Well, bail IS being raised, through $20 MILLION in donations that came in in less than a week. Now probably ALL of those parents can make bail.
When that happens, the govt MUST return the kids IMMEDIATELY. They won't be able to. They kept no records, because returning the kids was not even considered. So when the law says they must, they'll commit a crime against humanity if they fail.
These kids were taken to be trafficked. There's no other reason to spread them out all over the country. The kidnapping scheme served two purposes: harming (even torturing) brown people, and getting fresh material for bordellos. How many parents would regard having their children snatched anything but torture?
And take heart! Soon the Rs will have to face Mr. Avenatti, whom they avoid like the plague. They're afraid to even take him on in any meaningful way, because he'd shred them, and they know it. He has accepted several immigrant families trying to get their kids back. Even where our Dem lawmakers can't do it, Mr. Avenatti will be able to bring the Rs to their knees. He's relentless, and decent. And knows what he's doing. I've known many lawyers, and this guy is awesome! He'll be able to make R's fur fly.
So there's at least a fighting chance the Rs won't be able to establish major concentration camps.
It'd be awful nice, if Mr. A can join forces with Mr. Mueller. Maybe they already have done so.

The govt is beginning to construct their concentration camps. At first, they'll house illegal immigrants, but almost 50,000 of them?
A former arsenal is no place to house people - ever. Armaments in storage put nasty chemicals all throughout the facility, and removing them is almost impossible. People living in them will be quickly sickened. But maybe that's an enticing extra the facilities have to offer.
What other similar camps is the govt constructing, and where, and are any of them being prepared in secret?
Concentration camps are mandatory for fascism to house the people they hate and want to kill. Germany used only a few concentration camps, because they kept recycling the residents, courtesy of gas in showers, and of course, the ovens.
We actually are getting measurably FEWER illegals entering the country. Why, then, do they need to incarcerate vastly MORE than before?
Attention blacks (and anyone who isn't white like me): They're getting ready for YOU, count on it. Of course, they'll put people like me, in there, because being a dissident, even tho white, is a priority to fascists.
These people MEAN BUSINESS, and they WILL be killing people fairly soon. For now, they're solidifying their absolute power, and trying to make their atrocities "normalize" maximally. Then the killing can begin.
Nobody is ever SAFE from fascists, except those very high in the govt. Even their "base" are worth nothing. They'll go into the camps, too, when their use as a voting tool is used up.
