They’re politicos, not justices.

Excuse me, but, keep up what fight? 

Students of law are learning to act for and defend clients according to the rule of law. There is some other “fight” in the curriculum? I would love to know what that is exactly.

Get real.

Does anyone actually believe the FBI was going to base an investigation on one document? Give me a break. The FBI was interested in protecting the people and sovereign lands of the USA. The FBI took down terrorist networks. That is real work by highly qualified people. The FOX News tag lines are fairy tales authored by the Tabloid President.

The Trump - Russia Dossier

Do I have to go back to reading the extensive report that was interrupted and dismissed by Attorney General Barr? It appears on this blog. I think I read most of Part One.

James Comey and John Brennan did NOT lie to Congress. In the extensive Trump-Russia Investigation by the FBI the Steele Dossier was never used as evidence.

The evidence regarding the Trump Camp relationships with Russian operatives and business associations was independently investigated including direct access obtained to the GRU cyber data banks.

While the government is shut down and the focus is on Congress and the needs of the American PEOPLE, Fox News and who knows who else, like Lindsay Graham, are off on a tangent with a fairy tale propagated by MAGA sympathizers. Trump is trying to find footing to racketeer his lies to make them the truth. 

I have other things to do with my life, but, I refuse to allow a racketeer to turn lies into the truth. The Steele Dossier exists. It was interesting to the Clinton Campaign. The Clinton Campaign did not author it. Knowing Hillary as someone who loves this country if an agent produced a document that implicated her opponent as a Russian sympathizer (which Trump is) she wouldn’t look the other way.

The Steele Dossier while it exists had absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EXTENSIVE TWO PART FBI INVESTIGATION.

The news items circulating about the dossier are propaganda in a Russian like attempt to prosecute what Trump calls his enemies. The charges against Mr. Comey and anyone else for that matter is pure unadulterated racketeering.

The Shadow Docket

I am not one of the more than 13 percent of Americans watching and waiting for their food supplemental funds. That doesn’t mean I don’t fee for those that do. 

It is a partnership with fate and the luck of the draw. That is not justice. It is more obvious than ever, it is a threat to democracy, freedom, and now the very lives of Americans whom are dictated that their hunger is not an emergency.

The Shadow Docket’s use to excess is abuse of power.

Precedent and Amendment 27.

The Congress of the USA is a powerful body. For as poorly its rating on any given day its power is significant so long as it doesn’t abdicate to a dictator. It is time it have rules to live by that respects the people they represent and not regard their constituents as political tools. 

I disagree with Senator Kennedy more often than I agree with him, but, this expression of respect for the people of this country is valued by me more than he knows. I value the people who I have elected. They are human beings with families and responsibilities, too. I hold no malice toward them for any of their votes and as they approach these two bills they should consider their own circumstances and those of their colleagues to pass one or both of the bills. 

As human beings we need our circumstances to provide for basic needs. I think everyone knows what those needs are. There is no debate to what allows for good health, including food and water. If we all can please simply address the basic needs of every American, especially that of children, our status as a great country will return. A great country is not based on its military alone.

These bills provide brevity to the decisions that accompany a shut down of the federal government. The decision to pass them should be made with brevity. One or both should become law.

Thank you, Senator Kennedy. 

By the way, the Democrats are principled, not emotional.

Why Nigeria? Christians? Wrong. Petroleum.

Nigeria has the largest petroleum reserves in Africa.

Nigeria?

Nigeria had problems without a doubt. It is an American ally. 

An invasion into Nigeria will be another Iraq with terrorists migrating to kill American soldiers, commit jihad, and receive support from Iran.

Trump’s wars are very ill conceived. 

See. And they aren’t supposed to be taxed. Really?

These people are egotists with no conscience. So Musk is going to receive a trillion U.S. salary and what exactly is he going to do with it? We know what he did with his last salary grab, he corrupted the election process in buying Trump’s presidency and then received Quid Pro Quo with every legal government proceedings involving him. 

What is he going to do, buy the world this time? 

His charitable trust is “The Musk Foundation” co-chaired with his brother. The focus of the charitable trust is renewable energy (batteries), human space exploration (SpaceX), pediatric research (brain implants), science and engineering education (Tesla). Somehow it does not really look like a charitable trust like that of the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation or the one administered by George Soros, or Warren Buffet. 

Egotists need to be taxed.

So, let’s get this right.

Back in the day there was an international Jet Set that folks talked about. There was no People magazine, but, there were society pages. Trump is a real womanizer in that he lauded his ownership of Miss Universe as well as the Junior pageant variety. So Trump was at least as hot as Hugh Hefner and the Bunnies. He didn’t have a magazine or a Playboy Mansion, but, he did one better; he had high rolling hotels and casinos. 

That is Donald’s lifestyle. He is absolutely no different today except for his age. That party and his callous view of the world is proof. 

Epstein was never a brilliant Wall Street Genius. He had parties believed to be “the place to be” if one wanted to be well connected. It was all the inside information floating around at the Jet Set parties that provided Epstein his reputation. The parties are where wheeling and dealing takes place.

So, now, Donald is building a ballroom to party with global friends to be drunk, high, snorting, and entertained while trading secrets from classified USA documents in exchange for Trump Gold Cards and any other form of corruption Don comes up with. 

It is the same Donald Trump that could never afford his lifestyle committing bankruptcy to all those he convinced to be “in on the deal.”

Same guy. Same M.O.

Get the picture yet?

Trump is not helping.

I think some folks are in drag at Maralago.

Scantily clad? Oh. This is what the new ballroom is for. A return to the Jeffery Epstein culture, when Trump would built the next best Jet Set hotel and casino for all his friend’s entertainment. I got it now. Yep. The Host with the most. OMG. 

The country sinks into impoverishment while America soldiers fight Trump’s wars and he celebrates with his friends how brilliant he is.

Who are his friends? The Chinese again? Russians? Maybe a love letter to North Korea as an invite? Republicans? Is that where the USA House Republicans are? Seriously. The American people want to know. They are not attending town halls, so where are they? 

Maybe Republicans are the scantily clad dancers in martini glasses for Trump. Maybe he needs to be entertained by them to ensure their loyalty. The Republicans are dancing every other way, why not in martini glasses?  

People are helping.

Help is coming.

Torture.

I guarantee detainees are placed in what is basically a straight jacket for the legs and left alone or with other detainees in the same restraint while the agents pick up more people.

This is basically torture and given the abuse affiliated with its use can be considered torture.

Restraint use in the medical field is very, very tough and something like this is rarely if ever still used. If this restraint’s use as well as the device itself were investigated there are probably some deaths with it. People in any kind of restraint, including handcuffs, are not supposed to be abandoned and left to be Houdini if they are presented with an emergency to protect their life. 

I understand agents have a right to safety, but, I think this goes too far. There are shackles to inhibit leg movement that do not completely disable a person from movement. I guarantee this device affects blood flow to the extremities and causes blood clots.

Putin

Putin is going to escalate things by testing their nuclear capacity.

When Russia plays with their nuclear capacity scientists die. 

This entire military picture with Trump is out of control.

When Trump spoke with Xi it was about trade to satisfy the Wall Street Beast. Not a word about peace or nuclear treaties or non proliferation.

Congress needs to act and they know today Trump does what Trump wants to do at the expense of the USA Treasury regardless the cost.

Trump is way out of step with the courts and now he is shutting down the military from Congressional oversight. This has to stop.

Belgium has already invoked Article 5 because of Russian drone incursions. As far as I can tell Putin has finally pushed his brinkmanship too far. He most probably likes it that way, too. He has an inexperienced and CONFLICTED president still trying to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump is never sure whether he is a capitalist or a communist. One thing he is not is compassionate, even for his own people.

Being president isn’t about winning.

That is where Trump gets it wrong. Being president is about governance, knowing the country’s capacity, and where we fit in the world. It is about the people. It is not about controlling money and the military until the people are in danger from wrong headed leadership.

The president is suppose to prevent harm, not propagate it and justify it with lies.

We are nations of people, not an extension of the Trump company racketeering.

I guess Republicans expected to be at King Donald’s Round Table.

Wrong!

Trump is excluding the legislature to achieve his racist goals, power grab, and raping our natural resources. So, the Congress was left out if that understanding. Now they know. Congress, to Trump, are nobodys along for the ride so long as they are useful to his game plans. What fun it must be to have his own military and natural resources and treasury to play with. Oh, yeah.

This is Trump. Take a good look.

He is a greedy man with only him at the center of his world vision.

He is learning that possessing nukes and throwing his weight around is met with opposition globally by world powers that collectively have their own weight to throw around. We need this? We need a leader that has to learn on the job?

He is far more dangerous than his learning curve.  He takes no advise to prevent catastrophe. Congress is in denial of the needs of the people and refuses to remove him from power that is harming their constituents.

Every member of Congress should be up in arms together to end the victimization of an entire country of more than 330 million people of which about 12 percent rely on assistance for their health, including food.

Trump is untrustworthy.

Trump as president does not care about Americans. He disobeys court orders to prevent hunger. He has no respect for our democracy and instead is using the infrastructure of our democracy to attempt to destroy the democracy and make himself a king. And what kind of king? A king that oversees the hunger, impoverishment and deaths of Americans. The Republican Congress and the Trump administration is racketeering and allowing the abuse of power to become abuse of Americans.
