monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

“Disputes between men pertinaciously obstinate in their principles are the most irksome. The same blind adherence to their own arguments is to be expected in both; the same contempt of their antagonists; and the same passionate vehemence in enforcing sophistry and falsehood; and, as reasoning is not the source from whence either disputant derives his tenets, it is in vain to expect that any logic, which speaks not to the affections, will ever engage him to embrace sounder principles.”

And he can immobilize the White House for years. Trump wants to achieve things. This will prevent him from doing so.

Scooter Libby was completely innocent. They convicted him anyway.

and they're right now enough to get a completely bipartisan overwhelming condemnation of Russia and total undoing of Trump's present plans to do away with sanctions, even tho it is clear that the Russians meddled in the election and tried to alter election results in 30 states (they hopefully did hnot succees).

D) The production of "Killing Republicans-A Rock Opera" which is funded, in part, by the taxpayers of NYC and New York State is a musical that
centers on the assassinations of Republican presidents.

And to repeat it once again, since it still doesn't seem to have sunk in. Trump LOST the popular vote.

It is difficult to say what is more damning. The fact that Sessions hosted dinners that were attended by lobbyists working to advance Russian interests, or that those same lobbyists were helping the Trump campaign write Trump’s foreign policy speech.

Impeachment is not decided in the courts. It's decided by a majority of the House. And it's in the Consittution, so a sitting president can clearly be impeached. No criminal case has to be fied, and no cort can judge it.

And to repeat it once again, since it still doesn't seem to have sunk in. Trump LOST the popular vote.

Badly.

It was only the anti-democratic electoral college that sleazed him in.

He couldn't win it on his own.

The country didn't want him.

The country is rejecting all his initiatives.

We don't want him, his lies, or the flimflam he's peddling.

He should just resign now and spare the country the agony he's putting it through..

It is the all too pervasive position that so strongly suggests to me that the days of the Union are numbered.

Trump really needs to fire this jackass immediately and/or issue blanket pardons for any possible witchhunt victims. The most major basic rule for dealing with the kinds of idiots that we read about today (libtards, snowflakes, deep state types...) is the same rule for dealing with hyenas and other wild animals, that is, that you cannot show fear. Not firing this jackass molar at this point amounts to showing fear.

The family of murdered MP Jo Cox say they hope they are "doing her proud" as events honouring her take place.
The Great Get Together is based on the message in her maiden speech in Parliament that "we have more in common than that which divides us".
More than 100,000 events are taking place across the UK over the weekend.
The family said people's responses to this week's Grenfell Tower fire in London and recent terror attacks showed how people could come together.
Mrs Cox's mother Jean Leadbeater said: "Seeing communities coming together - seeing west London - that's an amazing sight, all colours, creeds, everybody pulling together.
"I think we're getting through, maybe it will take a while but the message will get through. We need to be united. Hate doesn't do anything, it's hope that counts.
"And hopefully we're doing Jo proud by doing the things that she would have been doing."

A new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today says that the European Union (EU) was shocked and stunned yesterday when the US Senate finally revealed that the real truth behind the “Russia Hysteria” meme sweeping America was entirely due to giant United States energy companies seeking to destroy Europe’s existing energy supplies from Russia in order to capture this multi-billion business for themselves in violation of all international laws. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

According to this report, in a brazen move labeled by both Germany and Austria as “unacceptable”, the US Senate passed by a vote of 98-2 what they called a “Russian sanction bill” that they spuriously claimed was in reaction to Russia’s never proven interference of the 2016 US presidential election—but whose real and true purpose violates international law, affects European companies and has the real aim of benefitting the US oil and gas sector, Berlin and Vienna said in an angry joint statement.

Having nothing whatsoever to do with Russia’s supposed intervention in the US election, this report continues, this US Senate “Russian sanction bill” is, instead, nothing more than “an instrument of economic warfare” designed to destroy the European Unions existing energy security with Russia in order to supplant it with those of American gas companies—and to which Germany and Austria, speaking for the entire EU, slammed by stating [English]:

“Europe's energy supply is a matter for Europe, and not the United States of America!

We cannot accept threatening European companies that contribute to the development of the European energy supply [system] with extraterritorial sanctions that violate the international law.

Sanctions as a political instrument should not be linked to economic interest that threaten German, Austrian and other European enterprises, which take part in the gas supply projects such as the Nord Stream II together with Russia or finance them, with penalties on the US market would add an absolutely new and highly negative aspect in relations between the US and Europe.

The statement went on to say that Washington’s intention to impose new sanctions against Russia is guided not by some political or humanitarian reasons but rather by economic interest.

“This issue is all about the sales of the US condensed gas [to Europe] and pressing the Russian energy supply companies from the European market. The actual goal [of such sanctions] is to provide jobs for the US gas and oil industry”.

Russia's trade representative in the United States, Aleksander Stadnik, this report says, further stated that these US Senate sanctions create obstacles for Russian, Iranian, Qatar, and other energy companies, while setting conditions for greater access to foreign markets for US companies, and who added: “This has become a blatant push for its [US] oil and gas industry with the use of non-market instruments and prohibited methods”.

Important to note about this issue, this report explains, is that due to what is called “hydraulic fracturing”, the United States has overwhelmed its domestic capacity to store the natural gas it’s now producing—and in order to sell what they are overproducing, they have begun a process to destroy Russia’s longstanding international agreements with the EU that supplies them with cheap energy supplies.

With the European Union receiving 34% of its natural gas supplies from Russia via pipelines, this report details, the American “scheme”, as evidenced by these US Senate sanctions, is to substitute cheap Russian natural gas with the more highly expensive “liquefied natural gas”(LNG) that is processed in the United States and then shipped via large tanker vessels to the European market.

The only American company currently creating LNG for the European market, this report says, is the Houston, Texas, energy giant Cheniere Energy—who aside from flooding the coffers of US lawmakers with “bribes” (called donations [Link and Link]), last week completed the first shipment to Europe of liquefied natural gas in American history.

With Cheniere Energy being the only company currently operating an LNG export terminal in the contiguous United States, this report explains, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is now reporting that about half a dozen other LNG export terminals (which are big, billion-dollar operations) are under construction too—with Professor Eric Smith, the associate director of Tulane University's Energy Institute, stating they are needed because “we have pretty well saturated the domestic market with natural gas”.

Though some Kremlin experts believe that the US House of Representatives will never pass this US Senate “Russian sanction bill”, this report grimly states, President Putin has, nevertheless, ordered a massive drill of all Federation nuclear missile forces—with his stating that prior to his allowing the Americans to implement this law, he will label it what it actually is, “an act of war”.

And as always too, this report concludes, the American people are being kept from knowing these “facts of war” by their mainstream propaganda media; who instead of telling these people the truth about anything, continue their spreading of “fake news”—and as exampled by CNN falsely reporting that President Trump didn’t visit US Congressman Steve Scalise in the hospital where he lies gravely wounded from the George Soros “Republican Massacre” birthday gift to Trump, and, most horribly, the pro-communist Washington Post reporter Malcolm Harris shockingly Tweeting that he hoped Congressman Scalise would die.

Germany threatened on Friday to retaliate against the United States if new sanctions on Russia being proposed by the U.S. Senate end up penalizing German firms.

The Senate bill, approved on Thursday by a margin of 98-2, includes new sanctions against Russia and Iran. Crucially, it foresees punitive measures against entities that provide material support to Russia in building energy export pipelines.

Berlin fears that could pave the way for fines against German and European firms involved in Nord Stream 2, a project to build a pipeline carrying Russian gas across the Baltic.

Among the European companies involved in the project are German oil and gas group Wintershall, German energy trading firm Uniper, Royal Dutch Shell, Austria’s OMV and France’s Engie.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman described the Senate bill, which must be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by President Donald Trump before it becomes law, as "a peculiar move".

He said it was "strange" that sanctions intended to punish Russia for alleged interference in the U.S. elections could also trigger penalties against European companies.

"That must not happen," said the spokesman, Steffen Seibert.
