Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 24

[varwoche]

According to Elizabeth Neumann, previously assistant secretary at Dept of Homeland Security...

Neumann said that it’s been standard operating procedure for years among top officials and Trump aides to avoid “trigger words” when briefing the president—severely complicating efforts to respond to high-profile killings that have occurred during the Trump presidency. She said that such trigger words have included “white supremacy,” “Russia,” “election interference,” and “domestic terrorism.”

About the only way a person is able to write a book on me is if they agree that it will contain as much bad “stuff” as possible, much of which is lies. It’s like getting a job with CNN or MSDNC and saying that “President Trump is great.” You have ZERO chance. FAKE NEWS!

..Even whether it’s dumb warmongers like John Bolton, social pretenders like Bob Woodward, who never has anything good to say, or an unstable niece, who was now rightfully shunned, scorned and mocked her entire life, and never even liked by her own very kind & caring grandfather!

Why, how fortunate it is that they got all that shunning, scorn and mocking in during "her entire life" for it to be 'rightful' only just "now".

That's some serious OTT cruelty.

That's some serious OTT cruelty.

Sure, but that's OK as long as your OTT scumbagerry is vindicated, well, eventually. 'Whew, thank god I was a piece of **** to you for your whole life before you wrote that book about what a piece of **** I've been your whole life.'

Notice he said books contain bad stuff, "most" of which is lies?

I would like some reporter to ask him "ok which bad stuff is true then?"

Maryanne said her father was "as tight as a duck's a**" just like Donald in the secretly recorded tapes Mary made. According to Mary's book, the brother who just died said:

At our first meeting, when we asked Rob to explain why my
grandfather had done what he had, Rob said, “Listen, your grandfather
didn’t give a **** about you. And not just you, he didn’t give a **** about
any of his grandchildren.”

Trump announcing Democrats in Congress will no longer get election security briefings. This is really happening guys. America is slipping into a dictatorship

Daily Show, the claim is made by Pence about Joe Biden. Daily Show debunks.

Doesn't count. The statemernt was that Democrats/liberals were making the claim, not Republicans. Of course Pence and his merry band of liars would say that - and much worse - because that is what they do.

My challenge remains: Find a Democrat/liberal who claims that all protestors are peaceful. And, no, I'm not moving the goalposts. That was exactly Dr. Sid original claim.

I was agreeing with you.

Wondering if this is just another brain-fart and imperial wish, and if it is actually illegal. Surely Trump can't withhold security information from Congress, even if the greater part of it is Democrat.

Then again, for some reason they may be trying to goad the Dems into doing something stupid right about now.

Cool. How many days has it been since President Trump has been to Minnesota?

Here are a couple of maps showing where Trump has been in 2020. Does Nevada have a lot of high rollers who funnel money to the GOP? Or maybe Nevada is an ideal location to launder money so that is the attraction.

That's not true. The administration is ending in-person briefings because of information leaks from Congress. Congress will still be briefed, but it will be written briefings.

"ODNI told the House and Senate intelligence committees that it will still provide written briefings, but that they should not expect verbal, in-person briefings on the topic, according to a congressional official and letters dated Aug. 28 that Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe sent to top members of Congress. Ratcliffe indicated in those letters that leaks from Congress were the reason for ending in-person briefings."

Trump Lands Major Endorsements From Democrat Mayors in Minnesota https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katie...-strongholds-endorse-president-trump-n2575265 Thank you so much. I will never let you down!

The article cites a letter signed by six mayors. I looked up those towns and their populations:

Virginia 8,712
Chisholm 4,976
Ely 3,460
Two Harbors 3,745
Eveleth 3,718
Babbitt 1,475

My high school was bigger than Babbitt. It's no surprise that some mayors in these small towns out in rural, farming areas would endorse Trump. Yet the headline on the article blares "....Major Endorsements" ....

I literally served on Naval Ships with a crew larger than all but one of those towns.

I don't know if somebody is saying exactly that, but the position is quite clear. There is very little condemning of violence from Democrats. I actually don't know about any. Democrats simply don't see violence on the streets, or don't care. Look at Belarus. 100.000 people in streets. Not a single shop robbed. Not a single car burned. That's peaceful protests.

NYT: Trump Administration Halts Election Security Briefings for Congress, Citing Leaks Leaks? From a briefing?

... signaling it does not trust lawmakers to keep the information secret.

So is he paranoid? We shouldn't rule that out.

President Donald Trump's new director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, notified the House and Senate intelligence panels on Friday that it would send written reports instead, giving lawmakers less opportunity to press for details as the Nov. 3 election approaches. An official in Ratcliffe's office, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said it was "concerned about unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information following recent briefings."

Or it might turn out to be about hiding Russian meddling?

"This is a shocking abdication of its lawful responsibility to keep the Congress currently informed, and a betrayal of the public’s right to know how foreign powers are trying to subvert our democracy," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said in a statement on Saturday.

D'oh! Of course:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said this month that Russia, which orchestrated a hacking campaign to sway the 2016 election in Trump's favor, was trying to "denigrate" Trump's 2020 Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. And it said China and Iran were hoping Trump is not re-elected.

So Trump wants to censor or frame the intelligence report. Ratcliffe, who is in charge of the department, is a Trump sycophant.

Sure - because written information can't be leaked.
