"On a Sunday panel show, a Russian politician (Vyacheslav Nikonov) said U.S. āintelligence missed it when Russian intelligence stole the president of the United States.ā
āNikonov 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
When the leader of the Catholic faith is saying to ālisten to the scientistsā and that climate change isnāt all part of Godās plan, well, thatās pretty fucking huge.
Itās almost as if he actually doesnāt care for or about gay people, and his stunted āI 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.
It means a lot more shit than if he hadnāt signed it.
Even a symbolic condemnation is more meaningful than saying that āboth sidesā are responsible and that thereās āgood peopleā among the Nazis.
Itās the āno 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 theyād heard of it, youād think the press office would have a better response to such an obvious question than āno announcementā. It just gives the impression that there was actually genuine uncertainty over whether heād actually do it.
What do you want to bet thereāll be a whataboutist both-sides signing statement that starts this whole thing over again?
