Trump Has Admitted His Guilt
June 1, 2018 at 2:50 pm | Posted in Abuse of Office, Crime and punishment, Disinformation, Enemies of Freedom, Presidential election | Leave a commentTags: 2016 Presidential election, Jeff Sessions, Paul Waldman, President Chump, President Trump, Putin, Washington Post
Trump has admitted his guilt, without realizing that he has done so.
This point was made recently by Paul Waldman, in an article in the Washington Post.
Quoting from that aricle, “According to a January New York Times story, when Sessions decided to recuse himself, “the president erupted in anger in front of numerous White House officials, saying he needed his attorney general to protect him.” (Emphasis added.)
There would be no need for the Attorney General to protect Trump from the investigation of Putin’s interference in the the Presidential election in 2016, if Trump had not done something illegal in connection with that election.
The Attorney General’s job is to protect the American people from crime, not to protect the President – or anyone else – from the consequences of illegal actions.
About the nature of Trump’s crime, we know only that it pertains to Putin’s interference in the Presidential election in 2016. That is the topic that always presses Trump’s buttons, and elicits his most feverishly desparate reactions.
Further evidence of Trump’s knowledge of his own guilt occured in Trump’s meeting with Sessions in March 2017. According to Paul Waldman’s article, “[Trump’s] grievance was with Mr. Sessions: The president objected to [Session’s] decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Mr. Trump, who had told aides that he needed a loyalist overseeing the inquiry, berated Mr. Sessions and told him he should reverse his decision, an unusual and potentially inappropriate request.” Why would Trump need “a loyalist overseeing the inquiry”, if he wasn’t scared about some fact connected to this particular topic?

I know it won’t happen, but for such a hypocrite I cannot resist: “Lock him up!”

Trump Is Guilty
May 4, 2018 at 7:38 am | Posted in Abuse of Office, Conceited, Crime and punishment, Disinformation, Dysfunctional Politics, Enemies of Freedom, Presidential election | 1 CommentTags: legitimacy of the United States government, New York Times, Putin, Robert Mueller, Trump

Trump is guilty of something that causes him to frantically impede the investigation of Putin’s interference in the American election in 2016.
Trump is so guilty, that he opposes an investigation that every patriotic American would want to succeed, because the legitimacy of elections underlies the legitimacy of the American government.
Trump is so guilty, that he seeks to terminate the only activity that would exonererate him if he wasn’t guilty.
Trump is so guilty, that he seeks to terminate the only activity that would remove the cloud on his legitimacy.
For a summary of the issues, see the New York Times article on Robert Mueller’s questions to Trump.
Unpatriotic Devin Nunes, Unpatriotic Donald Trump
February 28, 2018 at 9:41 am | Posted in Abuse of Office, Disinformation, Dysfunctional Politics, Enemies of Freedom | Leave a commentTags: Devin Nunes, Donald Trump, Paul Ryan, Ruth Marcus, Vladimir Putin
Every loyal American would want the investigation of Putin’s interference in the 1916 election to get to the bottom of what Putin’s minions did, and how they did it. Every loyal American would want to refute Putin’s lies, and would want America to have the information it needs to craft defenses against Putin’s future attempts, both on this country and on its allies.
It is iron-clad logic, a simple syllogism: if every loyal American would want those things, then any American who obstructs those investigations and defenses is not a loyal American.
Devin Nunes is not a loyal American.
Donald Trump is not a loyal American.
Devin Nunes is not a patriotic American.
Donald Trump is not a patrotic American.
Devin Nunes is inadvertantly an agent of Vladimir Putin.
Donald Trump is inadvertantly an agent of Vladimir Putin.
Neither should ever have had access to classified information.
Neither should have future access to classified information.
Trump’s primary loyalty is to himself and to his “brand” – not to America, not to freedom, not to fairness, not to honest elections.
There are indications that the same is true of Devin Nunes.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution begins, “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, …”
The writers of the Constitution never anticipated a President who favored an opponent of the United States.

What about Paul Ryan?

Donald Trump shaking hands with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan at his February 28, 2017 address to a joint session of Congress.
Surely Paul Ryan had some sense of Devin Nunes’ personality and character before appointing him to the House Intelligence Committee.
Why then did Paul Ryan appoint Nunes as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee?
Why did Paul Ryan even allow Nunes to be on that Committee?
Paul, please explain to the American people why you appointed Nunes as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Paul, now that you cannot miss seeing that you introduced a worm into the apple, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to re-assign Nunes?
Paul, are you, too, not a loyal American?
Paul, are you, too, inadvertantly an agent of Putin?
Paul, where are your primary loyalties? They seem to be to the Republican Party in its current debased form, not to America, not to freedom, not to fairness, not to honest elections.
As noted by Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post:
“Real patriotism would be not to denounce the “Russia hoax” but to insist that Congress — and for that matter, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III — get to the bottom of what happened in the 2016 election and, even more imperative, that the United States strengthen its defenses to prevent future meddling.”
President Chump, You Cannot Distract Us

To President Chump –
When others point out inconvenient facts about you, one of your favorite tactics is to change the subject. You deliberately do something attention-grabbing, to distract the public’s attention away from the inconvenient facts.
When there are questions about the connections of you and your gang to Putin’s regime, you squawk instead about how those inconvenient facts became widely known. You squawk about leaks – you, who said “I love Wikileaks” during the campaign, when leaks had been crafted to harm your opponent, just like the more recent “leaks” that were crafted to harm Emmanuel Macron‘s campaign for the Presidency of France.
That doesn’t work any more. We are on to you.
Speakers and posters at the March for Truth on June 3 said so, loud and clear.
Every morning, you will wake up to us asking again about your taxes.
You will wake up to us asking again about your conflicts of interest.
You will wake up to us asking again about your loyalty.
You will wake up to us asking again about whether you are a security risk – you, the first US President ever to have been called The Leaker in Chief. (Yes, that was one of the posters at the March for Truth.)
Perhaps Mar-a-Lago should be renamed Mar-a-Leako.

The ‘Racist Right’, Not the ‘Alt-Right’, and Not ‘White Nationalist’
May 16, 2017 at 2:11 pm | Posted in Conceited, Disinformation, Enemies of Freedom | 2 CommentsTags: alt-right, John Woodrow Cox, Laura Vozzella, Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, nationalist right, Nazi, racism, Richard Spencer, Stephen Bannon, Washington Post, white nationalist, white racism, white supremacist
There is no such thing as the ‘alt-right’.
What presently calls itself the ‘alt-right’ is really the white-racist right.
It is racist because because the group favors people solely on the basis of birth – upon skin color and ethnic ancestry – not upon earned achievement (moral/humanitarian, intellectual, artistic, or athletic).
The present usage of ‘alt-right’ is a ‘framing‘ trick, designed to hide the group’s goals behind a phrase that sounds more benign than ‘white racist’ or ‘white supremicist’.
In part, Richard Spencer’s appropriation of the term was probably because ‘alt-right’ sounds almost like ‘all right’. That would heighten the mask of benignity.
The term ‘alt-right’ is camouflage, like the false surface created by a trap-door spider.
Spencer also uses another phrase as camouflage: ‘nationalist right’.
In using that phrase he wants to hide behind the long pedigree of nationalism, in an attempt to pass his radical position off as being somewhere on the mainstream spectrum.
But he reveals the racism underneath by having used his new term at demonstrations against the removal of monuments to the Confederacy. No matter how the racists try to deflect attention from the fact, the Confederacy was an attempt to ensure the long-term survival of slavery. That reveals that white-racism underlies the ‘nationalist right’.
When coupled with Spencer’s views and goals, it is impossible to forget an earlier use of ‘nationalism’ as a camouflage for racism. ‘Nazi’ was the abbreviation of the German words for National Socialism.
This is not just guilt by association. There is evidence for a real connection.
John Woodrow Cox interviewed Richard Spencer at a party that Spencer’s group held in Washington, DC, not long after Trump’s election. Some at the party gave a Sieg Heil salute. At one point, Spencer said “Let’s party like its 1933.” Spencer had previously dated an Asian-American woman, but now regrets his deviation from racially-pure behavior. He said that he would never again date a non-white woman and that interracial relationships should be forbidden. Cox asked, “How, in a nation with more than 100 million blacks, Asians and Latinos, could a whites-only territory be created without overwhelming violence?” Spencer’s answer: “Look, maybe it will be horribly bloody and terrible.”
Just last week, Spencer led two rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, opposing the removal of Confederate memorials there. One of those rallies was lit by torches. Charlotteville’s Mayor pointed out the wrong-headedness of the rallies, evoking a storm of racist tweets. One of them said “I smell Jew.” (The Mayor is Jewish.)
(Interestingly, one of the chants at the second rally was “Russia is our friend”. An echo of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.)
Every time that you say or write ‘alt-right’ or ‘nationalist right’, you are falling into the trap, and are inadvertantly advancing the white racist cause.
