Bragging or Propaganda?

"On a Sunday panel show, a Russian politician (Vyacheslav Nikonov) said U.S. ā€œintelligence missed it when Russian intelligence stole the president of the United States.ā€

ā€œNikonov graduated from the History Department of Moscow State University in 1978 and has been studying the history of the U.S. Republican Party after World War IIā€. -Wiki

I certainly wouldnā€™t call the Logan Act obscure. Old and rarely used, sure.

When the leader of the Catholic faith is saying to ā€œlisten to the scientistsā€ and that climate change isnā€™t all part of Godā€™s plan, well, thatā€™s pretty fucking huge.

Trump might need to reduce the price of his St Martin mansion again.

Itā€™s almost as if he actually doesnā€™t care for or about gay people, and his stunted ā€œI love the LGBT communityā€ pronouncement in his acceptance speech last year at the RNC was a cynical pile of hot steaming bullshit.

The Congressional resolution calls on Trump to condemn hate groups and what it describes as the growing prevalence of extremists who support anti-Semitism, xenophobia and white supremacy.

Trump will somehow blame all that on An-TEE-fa.

It also urges Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate acts of violence and intimidation by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and similar groups.

Yeah, that could work.

It means a lot more shit than if he hadnā€™t signed it.

Even a symbolic condemnation is more meaningful than saying that ā€˜both sidesā€™ are responsible and that thereā€™s ā€˜good peopleā€™ among the Nazis.

Bet you that it is signed behind closed doors and the signature is questionable.

Agreed btw.

Edit: Although for the country IMO itā€™s too damn little too damn late. Politicians looking to get cover for upcoming elections is all that it is.

Itā€™s the ā€œno announcements at this timeā€ part when they were asked about it yesterday that really gets me. On the one hand, this white house has been stupefyingly incompetent and out of the loop with regards to what Congress is doing, so they might have just been caught flat-footed when the press started inquiring after it. On the other hand, this seems like such an obvious no-brainer that even if it was the first theyā€™d heard of it, youā€™d think the press office would have a better response to such an obvious question than ā€œno announcementā€. It just gives the impression that there was actually genuine uncertainty over whether heā€™d actually do it.

What do you want to bet thereā€™ll be a whataboutist both-sides signing statement that starts this whole thing over again?

As usual, he delayed just long enough to let the nazis know whose side heā€™s on, then took belated action in order to soften the PR impact.
