Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 24

[The Great Zaganza]

The White House has a constitutional duty to inform Congress - which they failed to do on many occasions.
This is not a trivial matter.
And it is one politically informed Americans should have been already aware of.

It's not Trump

He's just the channel.

It's puzzled me mightily for quite some time ... why don't thinking, intelligent, ethical Republicans break with Trump?

This recent article, by Lee Drutman at FiveThirtyEight, seems to provide a good answer (or partial answer): Why There Are So Few Moderate Republicans Left

Some quotes:

So if Republicans were to lose on that scale — the House, the Senate and the presidency — that raises the question: Would the GOP change course?

[...] With the two parties now fully nationalized, deeply sorted by geography and culture, and locked in a tightly contested, zero-sum battle over “the soul of the nation” and the “American way of life,” it’s nearly impossible to break that cycle. And so I think it’s unlikely that Republicans will become more moderate even if they were to take the shellacking I’ve outlined above.

It is possible that another leader could emerge and reorient the Republican Party again, as Trump did. But many of these trends predate Trump. So it’s far more likely that ambitious politicians will try to work with, rather than against, the sentiments that Trump has kicked up.

According to the mainstream media, the riots & extreme violence are completely unorganized. However, it appears this coup attempt is led by a well funded network of anarchists trying to take down the President.

The thugs who accosted Senator @RandPaul and his wonderful wife, Kelly, together with those who made threats to many other people who had just attended the Republican National Convention at the White House, must be sought out and immediately arrested. Well documented evidence!

Probably Shifty Schiff, but others also, LEAK information to the Fake News. No matter what or who it is about, including China, these deranged lowlifes like the Russia, Russia, Russia narrative. Plays better for them. @DNI_Ratcliffe doing a great job!

Everything a Governor asked the Federal Government for with respect to the Pandemic, they got. They all said, on tape, the Federal government did a great job. Governor Cuomo used the word “phenomenal.” The Task Force worked well with the States. Feds bailed out many States!

The big backlash going on in Portland cannot be unexpected after 95 days of watching and incompetent Mayor admit that he has no idea what he is doing. The people of Portland won’t put up with no safety any longer.The Mayor is a FOOL. Bring in the National Guard!

Our great National Guard could solve these problems in less than 1 hour. Local authorities must ask before it is too late. People of Portland, and other Democrat run cities, are disgusted with Schumer, Pelosi, and thier local “leaders”. They want Law & Order!

Wheeler is incompetent, much like Sleepy Joe Biden. This is not what our great Country wants. They want Safety & Security, and do NOT want to Defund our Police!

ANTIFA is a Radical Left group that only wants bad things for our Country. They are supported by $FOOLS!

Democrat “Leadership” has no clue. Request help now....Problem Over!!!

Disgraceful Anarchists. We are watching them closely, but stupidly protected by the Radical Left Dems!

The chickens are coming home to roost in Portland as anti-police activists rally at mayor Ted Wheeler’s residence and plan to occupy it until he is forced to quit.

Trump headed to Wisconsin to incite more rioting.

60 million Trump voters do not realize that without Trump the George Floyd riots would have lasted a week and then settled down to a few large marches like the one on DC in day time.

Good morning Aridas.

As noted, they tend to get eclipsed fairly quickly - this isn't something that tends to arouse as much lasting public interest, after all.

With that said, on a quick search -

The Al Baghdadi raid is the first example of similar behavior in play in that search, with the exact same concerns about leaking as the excuse. There were Republican legislators in the loop and Democrats were specifically excluded.

Russian bounty briefings were done separately for no good reason in sight, to poke at that. I admit to being uncharitable with this in that I'm not likely to blindly trust that all things were equal there, though it is possible that it's just that the WH wanted Republicans to have extra time to control the narrative only.

To poke at an example related to the latter part of what I said, then... 'Insulting and demeaning': Two GOP lawmakers rip Trump administration after Iran briefing
"It was probably the worst briefing I've seen at least on a military issue in the nine years I've served" in the Senate, said GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.

President Trump has been doing this technique of having separate meeting with GoP and then Dems. Any magicians here will recognize this technique. If you notice, whenever they talk about what was said at the briefings, the Dems and the GoP have very different take aways. While that always happens to some extent but when they have separate briefings, there isn't even agreement on what was actually the point of the briefing.
Just by having separate briefings it shows a lack of trust. It just makes the partisan behavior get worse and worse. That is President Trump's goal. Chaos and confusion is the world he rules.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Trump is urging more chaos and violence from his kult. Expect more drive-by shootings from the Trumpsters like happened last night.

Trump got 8 percent of black vote in 2016. I’ve been predicting 11-13 percent in 2020. I’m thinking he could get 14-16 percent now.

Rich Baris: "Democrats are in a complete and total panic right now."

Heads will explode. Trump up in Michigan.

Pretty soon he's going to sign an Executive Order making OANN a free channel on all cable providers. Next step is to require all TVs to automatically tune to it, and that they can't be shut off.

I was surprised because I couldn't see him talking to Jacob Blake or his family at any price. Apparently he's going to be talking to law enforcement.

"Nice police work there, boys!"

 

[The Man]

Yeah, I saw that too.

I wonder if it would be hard to explain to the president what is wrong with the sentence he wrote.

I miss those days when the President was bright enough to pass a high school writing class.

It is not possible, since for him nothing is wrong with it. It both explains why the book can be summarily dismissed as simply vindictive and is a post-dick-tive validation of his actually having been a dick to her. That he was a dick before it was 'rightful' is simply a veneration of his awesome intuitive dickishness.

You are completely right.

Now, I’m wondering if he could identify any errors in the sentence if, after a month or so, he was told that a Democrat wrote it.

Disgraceful that Big Ten is not playing football. Let them PLAY!

He doesn't know the players chose not to play. Of course that's not important, only that Trump looks like he's supporting all those armchair athletes.

I might add that it might be difficult for him to understand that students might choose not to play. And virtually impossible to get him to understand that students might stop playing because they value things like society and its safety more than they value football.

After all, he has demonstrated time and time again that he doesn’t understand the the concept of sacrifice.
