Mueller Has Evidence That Cohen Visited Prague in 2016

The Steele Dossier Was Right, Cohen Is a Traitor

Michael Cohen, consiglieri of the Trump crime organization, really did visit Prague in late summer of 2016 during the Presidential election, according to evidence now in the hands of the Mueller investigation.  Cohen had denied this allegation of the Steele dossier, but the Justice Department's special counsel now has evidence that Cohen lied, says a report tonight from McClatchy.

The purpose of Cohen's visit to Prague was reportedly to meet with agents of Russian intelligence to discuss the remuneration of east Europeans who cooperated in the hacking of emails from the Democratic National Committee, and a strategy to hide those hackers from possible detection after the fact.

Cohen's denial, and the absence of publicly-visible evidence were cited by Trump supporters as a reason to disbelieve the Steele dossier.  Of course, much independent evidence has come forth since then to substantiate large parts of the dossier, and Mueller has evidence that this part of the dossier is true too.  Cohen is President Trump's personal lawyer.

Cohen appears to be heading into even greater legal trouble after the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York seized a large volume of evidence from Cohen's home, bank, office, and other locations.  To do this, the Justice Department must have had convincing evidence that Cohen has engaged in criminal acts, and that there was a danger he would destroy evidence of those acts.

Because the seized evidence goes back for many years, there is a significant chance that it touches on crimes committed by the Trump business organization. Communications with Trump may reveal other criminal acts, including collusion with the Russians to influence the 2016 election.

The President is said to be very worried that Mueller is closing in on him.

Republicans in Congress have been extremely narrow-minded and unpatriotic in their persistent threats against the special counsel and their support of Trump in his destruction of American democratic institutions.  Perhaps now they can see the writing on the wall and reverse their traitorous course of action. 

The Vise Is Closing on Manafort

Former Trump Campaign Manager to Be Indicted

Reports surfaced today that Robert Mueller, the special investigator for the Russia probe, intends to indict Paul Manafort, former campaign chairman for Donald Trump.

Also surfacing today are reports that the FISA court granted warrants to wiretap Manafort because of the CIA's severe concerns about Manafort's Russia contacts, long before he became Trump's campaign chairman.  This suggests that evidence against Manafort is already on tape in the form of intelligence intercepts.

FBI agents picked the lock of Manafort's home and knocked on his bedroom door before removing documents and copying computer files, back in June.  For a FISA court order to grant this extraordinary power, Mueller must have had good evidence of a serious crime, and reason to believe that Manafort would destroy the evidence.

Again, Trump's former campaign manager has been notified that he will be indicted.  The pressure is ratcheting up on Trump and his cronies, the traitors who sold out the US to its Russian enemies.

Mike Flynn Cringes, Asks for Immunity

Lies Catch Up to Former Trump Presidential Advisor

Former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn has told the Senate Intelligence Committee he is willing to be interviewed about the Trump administration's possible ties to Russia in return for a grant of immunity from prosecution.  Flynn served as President Trump's National Security Advisor for three weeks before resigning because of lying to conceal his contacts with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. 

Of particular interest to the American people is whether Flynn discussed the removal of US sanctions on Russia in return for Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and whether Trump himself was involved.

First, Flynn told the Washington Post he didn't discuss sanctions with Kislyak.

     Then, it was revealed that Flynn had met Kislyak.

          Next, Flynn said he couldn't remember whether they had discussed sanctions.

               Now, Flynn thinks he needs immunity.

Flynn's lawyer confirmed that discussions had taken place with the House and Senate Intelligence Committees  Asking for a grant of immunity is a common protection sought even by innocent witnesses, but in Flynn’s compromised situation it signals much, much more.

Why did the Trump transition team do such a poor job vetting Mike Flynn for the job of National Security Advisor?  Flynn failed to disclose payments for representing Russian interests, including his appearance at a Russian Television dinner with Vladimir Putin.  Then Flynn was caught representing the Turkish government.  Flynn registered as a foreign agent only after being caught and fired.

The DOJ warned the White House that Mike Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail for lying about his foreign contacts, before he was selected as National Security Advisor.  But the White House kept  Mike Flynn on the job for three more weeks.  Why?  Flynn should have been fired immediately as a foreign agent.

Perhaps soon we will have proof that the Trump administration is packed with traitors selling out America to the Russian Kleptocracy of Tsar Vladimir.

Republican Lies about Monitoring of Trump Explode in Their Own Faces

Nunes’s Bias Exposed, Confirms Need for Independent Investigation

Congressman Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, announced yesterday that he is backing down from his assertion that Donaald Trump and his aides were monitored by U.S. intelligence services. 

A spokesman added that Nunes needed to obtain documents from the intelligence community before he could assess if Trump or his associates had been monitored.  As for Donald Trump's unhinged assertion that Obama wiretapped him, Nunes repeated what he has said previously, telling reporters, "That didn't happen."

The allegation is merely about “incidental collection," meaning that it occurred incidentally during the surveillance of foreign intelligence targets, not the direct monitoring of domestic targets like Trump, his campaign, or his transition team.  Electronic monitoring requires warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court if the foreigners are in the United States or if a conversation crosses U.S. communication systems.  However, Republican political hacks gladly lied about the matter for political gain.  On Thursday, the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee sent out an email about Nunes' remarks with the subject line, "Confirmed: Obama Spied on Trump."  Now we see that the Republicans were spreading a lie, and Nunes was merely creating an opportunity to spread the propaganda. 

Nunes still has not identified the source of his information. Also, without explanation, he canceled next week's open committee hearing and scheduled a closed session, depriving the American people of their right to know more about Trump's collusion in the Russian cyberwar against the US.

The entire role of Nunes in this affair is highly suspicious.  Without telling his committee, Nunes rushed to the White House last week and later announced that he had told “President” Trump that US intelligence agencies had picked up conversations of Trump and his campaign associates as “incidental collection” during surveillance of other targets.  Nunes is supposed to be investigating Trump, not giving him advance notice of information to be placed before the committee.  Nunes later apologized for a bad decision, but had already exposed himself as either lacking judgment or a Trump agent, or both. 

All of this foolishness shows that Nunes is totally unqualified.  Time after time, he makes bad decisions, shows bias for Trump, and shows no cognizance of the gravity of the national security matters before the House Intelligence Committee.

The only solution is an independent investigative commission, totally out of the hands of biased Republican hacks and incompetent fools like Nunes.

FBI Says Trump Campaign Coordinated Cyberwar with the Russians

Treason against America Is Proven

US officials told CNN today that the FBI has evidence of communications between associates of Donald Trump and Russian operatives to coordinate the release of information damaging to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

This evidence constitutes a part of the investigation into the Trump campaign’s links to Russian intelligence, announced by FBI Director James Comey in his testimony Monday to the House Intelligence Committee.  Comey testified that the FBI had "a credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."

One law enforcement official told CNN the FBI has evidence that "people connected to the campaign were in contact and it appeared they were giving the thumbs up to release information when it was ready."

This shows that there is indeed “more than circumstantial evidence” of wrongdoing.  The FBI has evidence that members of Trump’s circle gave the thumbs up for the Russians to release information interfering in the US election.

These Republican traitors colluded with a foreign enemy power to influence the US election.  These traitors tried to influence the election to benefit a foreign enemy power.  This is treason of the highest order.

In related news, we learn that right-wing extremist groups in the US have evidently coordinated their actions with the Russian bot-attack, in which automated comments were placed in volume on Democratic and other social media to further the divide between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and to falsely vilify them to the American people.  All of this occurred in a coordinated manner to magnify the damage done by the Russian cyberwar offensive against the US election.

There is now no doubt that the US President is more than merely a demagogue, liar, racist bigot, misogynist, and psychopathic egotist.  Trump is more than a mere dupe of the Russians.  This news shows that Trump must be Russian operative, placed in power to undermine the US and help the brutal dictator Vladimir Putin.  Trump is a traitor.

“More than Circumstantial Evidence” That Trump Campaign Colluded with Russia

Adam Schiff, the Democratic vice chair of the House Intelligence Committee, was asked today on “Meet the Press” if he had only circumstantial evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.  Schiff answered in the negative and added:  "I can tell you that the case is more than that and I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now."

Schiff was also asked if he had seen direct evidence of collusion, to which he answered:  "I don't want to get into specifics but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of an investigation."

The diversions and roadblocks offered by Republican party members in congress show that they are trying to shield Trump’s campaign from its crimes, but it now seems that the days of the crazy traitor Trump are numbered.

Trump's Campaign Manager Manafort Worked for Putin

Trump Lied to America about His Campaign’s Links to Putin

Before he was Donald Trump’s presidential campaign manager, Paul Manafort was covertly under contract with a Russian oligarch to “greatly benefit the Putin government”. 

 

Discovery of Manafort’s allegiance to Putin completes the final link between the Russian government and its American lackey, Donald Trump.  What everyone has known for so long is now proven:  Donald Trump is a traitor who sold out American democracy in return for Russian cyberwar support in the 2016 election.

The Associated Press learned of the link to Putin when it obtained Manafort’s strategy memoranda and records of international wire transfers for millions of dollars.  In response, Manafort issued a statement that he had worked for the oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, and an official representative of Deripaska confirmed that Manafort had an agreement to provide consulting services.

When Manafort pitched his services to Deripaska in 2005, he wrote:  "We are now of the belief that this model can greatly benefit the Putin Government if employed at the correct levels with the appropriate commitment to success." 

Both Manafort and the Trump administration earlier had issued public announcements that Manafort never worked for Russian interests, but Manafort has now admitted that he worked to greatly benefit Putin.  Trump and Manafort have lied to America about their links to Russia and Putin.

Manafort is bound to become a focus of the ongoing FBI probe and congressional probes into Russian connections with the Trump campaign.  The vise is closing in on Trump, who is either totally incompetent as President, or a blackmailed agent of Vladimir Putin, or both.

Rex Tillerson Sells Out America Again

Secretary of State Spurns NATO Meeting, Will Visit Moscow

"Secretary of State" Rex Tillerson has announced that he will skip the meeting of NATO foreign ministers and will instead make a visit to Moscow in April to congratulate the criminals who conducted the cyberwar operation against the 2016 US presidential campaign.

The truth about the Trump administration could not be clearer:  Trump is rewarding his Russian supporters by weakening NATO and legitimizing Putin's criminal regime in Moscow.

NATO has been the most effective military and foreign policy instrument of the United States since the end of World War II.  It has participated in and enables our wars in the Middle East, just as it always provided a bulwark against the aggressive Soviet Union.  NATO continues to save US taxpayers uncounted billions of dollars, and lives of US soldiers, by multiplying American military might and economic power.

In NATO, we are allied with democracies and advanced economies who share our values and support our international interests.  Their modern armed forces multiply our American might, and their territories provide bases from which we conduct our own operations in the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and elsewhere.  The soldiers of their armed forces have given their lives alongside our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in the fight against terrorism.

By snubbing our NATO allies, Tillerson is sabotaging the interests of the United States and giving aid and comfort to our enemies in Russia.

This is the same Rex Tillerson who, as the chairman of Exxon, used a false email name to coordinate his strategies with US regulators, who hid his own company's findings about the impact of fossil fuels on global climate change, and who used lies and propaganda trying to hide the scientific truth that burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming.  Tillerson has proven himself to be an enemy of the future of the human race.

And now he has proven himself to be a traitor to the United States.  What could be more despicable and hateful to the American people?

The US Is Governed by a Liar

The United States has issued a formal apology to the United Kingdom for President Trump’s claim that  UK intelligence services helped former President Barak Obama spy on Trump with a wiretap.

Apologies were made by two talking heads – press secretary Sean Spicer and national security adviser McMaster – but so far there is no word of  an apology through official diplomatic channels.  Such official channels are under the direction of “Secretary of State” Tillerson, who seems to have abandoned diplomacy in a deliberate attempt to destroy the international influence of the United States.  So far, the blustering demagogue Trump has not apologized personally.

 

Last week, Trump accused former President Barak Obama of using wiretapping to spy on Trump during the 2016 election campaign.  FBI chief James Comey and former CIA chief James Clapper both denied Trump’s wild claim.  Yesterday, the senate intelligence committee published a statement saying they had no evidence for Mr. Trump's claim.

After those claims were officially refuted, Trump accused GCHQ, the headquarters of UK intelligence, of spying to help Obama.  But now, Britain has denied those wild claims, and the White House has apologized for the wild lie.

Trump will say anything to stir up trouble against his political opponents.  His constant lies show an utter disrespect for the American people and the office of the presidency.  Trump is a demagogue and is not qualified to lead the nation.

 

Members of Congress who support Trump also show their disrespect for the Constitution and the American people.  By repeating his lying rhetoric and supporting his hateful policies, they have positioned themselves as traitors to America and enemies of the American people, who will know what to do in the next Congressional elections.  The fascist ideologues of Congress had better wake up and do something to rein in the liar Trump before he destroys America and the American people utterly.

Trump Sold Out the United States to Buy the Election

Republican Platform Gutted in Return for Russian Cyberwar against the Democrats

Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, worked with a Russian agent to forge a deal with Putin:  In return for Russian interference in the US presidential election, Trump removed criticism of Russia’s stance in the Ukraine from the Republican party platform.

The operative, Konstantin Kilimnik, came under scrutiny from officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the State Department partly because of at least two trips he took to the U.S. during the presidential campaign.

The news site Politico announced yesterday that, after a late summer trip to the U.S., Kilimnik suggested that he had played a role in gutting a proposed amendment to the Republican Party platform that would have staked out a more adversarial stance towards Russia.

Kilimnik’s relationship with Manafort traces back to 2005. That’s when Manafort hired Kilimnik to work for him in Ukraine.

Manafort was already actively helping a pro-Russian political party in the Ukraine, and received payments of millions of dollars for helping the Russians in return.

Mounting scrutiny of Manafort’s work in Ukraine, and alleged cash payments from a pro-Russian political party in the Ukraine, forced him to resign from the Trump campaign.

Now the proof is coming out:  Donald Trump bought the election by selling US security in return for Russian cyberattacks on Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.

It is disgusting that Republicans in Congress lack the patriotism to force Trump to come to justice. All they ALL traitors?

Trump must be impeached and convicted of treason.

Trump's Insanity Worsens

Trump Accuses Obama of Wiretapping

Trump's insanity went totally out of control this weekend when he accused former President Barack Obama of ordering a wiretap of Trump and his presidential campaign.  The total chaos of his administration has seized control of Trump's sick mind, and the Orange Demagogue has totally lost it now.

The accusation has no more material substance than than its origin in the rantings of a right-wing radio idiot, repeated and amplified by the fascist goons at Breitbart.  The orange goon is trying again to govern the country with lying propaganda, and it isn't working.

FBI Director Comey Says That Trump Is a Liar

FBI Director Comey has rejected Trump's claim as totally false, and has asked the Justice Department to refute Trump's claim.  Comey investigated Trump's opponent, Secretary Hillary Clinton, endlessly and threw the election to Trump by resuming the investigation only days before the election.  Trump is obviously a liar, because he cannot claim that Comey is biased against him.

Former CIA Chief Says That Trump Is a Liar

Former CIA head James Clapper, who served as Director of National Intelligence for six years under Obama, rejected Trump's claim in an interview on "Meet the Press" Sunday.  Clapper said of the agencies that he oversaw, "there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, the president-elect, or against his campaign."

Not without Reason

Of course, a court would have to authorize a wiretap, which means that there would be evidence of a crime, which means that a wiretap would not have been without reason.  Trump's claim implies that he is guilty of something.

Trump Is on the Way Out

Trump is out of control and a danger to the United States.  For this and many other reasons, the Congrass has no other option than to impeach Trump, convict him of one of his many crimes, and get him out of office.  The safety of America depends on it.

A good way to start would be to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the collusion of the Trump campaign with Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential election.  Trump's insanity is another place to start.

Sessions Colluded with the Russians and Lied about It to Congress

Justice Department officials announced that the infamous fascist hate-monger, Jeff Sessions, presently the Attorney General of the United States, acted as intermediary between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and officials of the Russian government, at a time that Sessions was an active member of Trump’s campaign team.

One of the meetings, with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, occurred during the September Russian cyber-offensive against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.  

Combined with earlier reports of contacts between Trump’s campaign team and the Russian government, it is now totally clear that the Trump campaign was involved from top to bottom in collusion with the Russians. 

At his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sessions absolutely denied any contacts with Russian officials during the campaign.  Sessions deliberately misled the committee and the nation about his seditious and treasonous behavior.

Many have already called for Sessions to recuse himself from investigations of Russian cyber-war in the Presidential election. 

Recusal is not enough.  Sessions must be removed from office.

There can no longer be any doubt that Trump collaborated with the Russians to rig the US election.  As a dupe and agent of the Russians, Trump must be impeached and convicted of treason, along with the other fascist criminals who abetted him.

Our nation is being led by traitors.

DeVos Declares War on the Disabled

Betsy DeVos, Trump's newly appointed Secretary of Education, has decided that disabled students do not need education.

The Department of Education has taken down the website that formerly informed teachers, administrators, and the families of disabled students of their options and rights for accessing education under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA).

Trump publicly displayed his hate for the disabled during the Presidential campaign, and is following through with a full-blown war on disabled Americans.

This move is consistent with administration policy that substitutes "alternative facts" (lies) of alt-right ignoramuses for the basic facts instilled by public education. DeVos is infamous for her dishonest campaign to destroy public education with so-called "charter schools".  America entered the modern age thanks to public education, and it will decline into third-world status through the ignorant hatred of right-wing hatemongers like DeVos.

By confirming DeVos's appointment, the Republican hatemongers of Congress have demonstrated their allegiance to hatemonger Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the fundamentalist hatemongers of the alt-right.

FBI Covered Up Russian Manipulation of the US Presidential Election

Director Comey Betrayed America

The Electoral College Is Our Last Hope

The FBI covered up evidence of Russian influence on the US Presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, the British newspaper The Guardian revealed this weekend.

Harry Reid, outgoing Senate minority leader said that FBI director James Comey had information on Russia’s influence and sat on it.

“The FBI had this material for a long time but Comey, who is of course a Republican, refused to divulge specific information about Russia and the presidential election,” Reid told MSNBC on Saturday.

Earlier, the CIA confirmed that Russia hacked DNC computers to obtain information damaging to Hillary Clinton and gave it to WikiLeaks for release.  All 17 US intelligence agencies concur on these findings.  President Obama has ordered that a report of the findings be compiled for public release.

FBI Director Comey Must Go

Comey hid evidence for political motives.  He cannot remain in office.

Is Comey a Traitor?

Comey hid evidence of a foreign operation to sabotage American Democracy.  He betrayed America.  No wonder some are saying that Comey is a traitor.

America needs reliable intelligence and law-enforcement agencies to protect it from foreign cyberwar.  Comey must be investigated to clean out the FBI.

Comey’s Bias Is Obvious

Comey’s bias is clear: Ten days before the election, Comey sent a letter to Capitol Hill leaders indicating the FBI had located additional emails related to its investigation of Clinton’s private email server. Two days before the election, he sent another letter saying the review was complete and that the bureau confirmed its original conclusion finding no criminal wrongdoing. 

Now we see that Comey was sitting on evidence of Russian involvement all the time.

Maybe he really is a traitor.  He acts the same as a Russian agent.

The Electoral College Must Stop the Madness

We cannot have an illegitimate President.  We know now that the Russians influenced the election just to get Trump elected.  We cannot afford a President whose entire purpose is to discredit and destroy American Democracy on behalf of a foreign enemy.

The deadline for the Electoral College is approaching.

The Director of National Intelligence must inform the Electoral College of all relevant intelligence facts about Russian influence in the election.  They must see the proof that Trump is the Illegitimate Candidate, the willing tool of our enemy, Russia. 

The only possible salvation for America is for the College to choose someone other than Mad Man Trump as the next president.

It has been said before, but it is now more urgent than ever:  This is the political equivalent of 9/11.

The Night of the Long Knives

Trump Prepares to Punish the Protectors of Mother Earth

Fossil Fuel Oligarchs Ready to Cheat the People, Enrich Themselves

According to a Bloomberg report, Donald Trump’s transition team has asked the Department of Energy for a list of employees and contractors associated with initiatives inimical to the interests of the fossil fuel industry.  The lists include who attendees at United Nations climate meetings and developers of the Obama administration’s social cost of carbon metrics. 

They want lists of department scientists and their publications -- so that they can root out the serious researchers of climate change and alternative technologies.  

Another request was a list of clean energy and other innovative energy technology programs.

This is a sign that Trump intends to punish those who pursued scientific and administrative efforts to protect the environment, most especially those tainted with honest efforts to understand and counter global warming.  Trump denies climate change and is a crony of the billionaires of the fossil fuel industry.

Calling Out the Witch Hunt

As Bloomberg reported:  Senator Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, sent a letter to Trump warning that punishment of agency workers “would be tantamount to an illegal modern-day political witch hunt, and would have a profoundly chilling impact on our dedicated federal workforce.”

The Night of the Long Knives

Who knows how far Trump’s vindictive purges will go?  Adolf Hitler executed thousands of cronies and supporters in 1934 to consolidate his own power over Germany.  Stalin executed hundreds of thousands in the Great Purge, to consolidate his power.  Millions were persecuted in Mao’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.

Who knows how far Beast Trump’s purges will go? 

Trump is vindictive and thin-skinned.  It all depends on how mad he really is.

Trump, Ally of the Chinese

Is Trump an agent of the Chinese?  Because of its severe environmental problems, China is actively experimenting with new and innovative technologies for cleaner energy technologies.  If Trump cripples US programs, the Chinese will have a clear path to dominate future energy technology markets.  The US will be left in the dust.

Trump and his billionaire oil buddies will love that.  The people will suffer.

Trump the Laughing-Stock

The developed nations of the world are advancing their clean energy technologies, and will be ready with products for the future clean energy market.  They must be laughing their asses off at the ignorance of the United States and its chief laughing-stock, Donald Trump.

The Trump Terror Begins

Americans can wait for Trump’s Terror to descend, or they can act now, speak out, and demand action from their legislators.  

Protect the Earth, resist evil.

Liar Trump Abandons the Working Americans He Promised to Help

Labor leaders said after the election they’d give Trump a chance to deliver on his promised pro-worker agenda.  They don’t need to wait any longer, because they have their answer in Trump’s ANTI-worker agenda.

Trump has revealed his anti-worker agenda and attacked the very working people he promised to help.  Before he even gets to office, the lie is revealed!

Trump’s cabinet appointments are an anti-worker joke.  Nothing but Wall Street fat cats with not a single acknowledgement that workers even exist.  Nothing but policies that promise to crush the workers and make the rich richer.  

What a slap in the face of working people!

Trump threatened the labor union leader who criticized his explanation of the Carrier deal, where the state of Indiana gave Carrier $7 million not to ship a few hundred jobs to Mexico right away. 

Today thin-skinned Trump threatens his critics to stifle dissent.  How bad will it get when he gets into office?  

Will no one be able to speak his mind without attack from the government?

Trump exaggerated the number of jobs saved at Carrier, and ignored the people who will still lose their jobs in Indianapolis.  Nothing but self-promotion from the liar Trump.

Trump’s exaggeration was extremely cruel to the people who are losing their jobs at Carrier.  According to Trump they don’t even exist!

Trump has abandoned the working people who voted for him and stabbed them in the back.  He ruins their lives and then attacks them when they complain.

This is just the start of the coming American Tyranny and Trump's abuse of power.

Working Americans should oppose the vicious liar Trump at every turn.  He is their proven enemy.

Mad Man Trump Intentionally Provokes China, China Pushes Back Hard

As we now know, when Donald Trump conducted a phone call with the Premier of Taiwan, in contravention of the US-China “one state” policy, he did it intentionally.  He was demonstrating to China that he is willing to take a hard line over trade and the South China Sea.

Never mind that he changed the policy of the current administration -- Trump is serious in taking a more contentious position with China.



Long Live the Victory of the Korean People's Army and the Chinese People's Army!




Trump says that China “takes advantage of us” when it engages in free trade and sells us things at prices so low that we cannot refuse.  He is apparently ready to confront China economically and militarily, no matter the consequences.  This is a dangerous game.

Now China has hit back – hard.

Today, the Chinese renminbi fell by about 10 percent against the dollar, one of the biggest single-day moves since Beijing allowed its money to partially float.  This is a clear, intentional signal on the part of a China that carefully controls the daily changes in its currency exchange rate.

A one-day 10% reduction in the renminbi versus the dollar is huge.

Such a currency move by a major international trading partner and competitor has serious economic consequences.  The US already has enough trouble competing in international trade, and now Trump’s foolishness has resulted in China reducing its prices even more!

Trump’s recklessness will have adverse consequences for all of America.  We have trading partners, you dunce.  You made our competitive position in world markets even worse!

China is not going to back down.  They have all the trump cards.  They can undercut America and will flood our markets until Trump and Congress raise tariff barriers against them.

The Chinese People Cannot Easily Be Humiliated!



What will the American people say a year from now as American exports fall even more, and China grabs an even greater piece of the international trading pie?  What will they say as prices rise and their meager wages are stretched even tighter? 

What will Americans say as Mad Man Trump plunges the US into another recession? 

Trying to change the US-China-Taiwan relationship before he is President is radically disruptive to US policy and harmful to American workers.  He will be sadly surprised by both domestic and international repercussions.

If he escalates this offensive into a military confrontation, it could be catastrophic.

Donald Trump Is Disgusting Filth

I think we all remember this quote from the President-elect: 

“I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

What's next?  Can Trump get any creepier? 

Maybe he can.  After all, Trump the Pervert will say anything to create false issues and distract the public while he sells them out behind their backs.

Trump Denies Global Warming, Spews His Evil over the World

On November 6, 2012, Donald Trump posted this preposterous tweet: "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."  

These are the ravings of an unscientific propagandist for the fossil fuel industry.  China is a terrible environmental disaster, and the last nation on earth to want global warming to worsen.

Global warming is not a "concept", it is a fact.  What is it about  the measurement of greenhouse gases, including CO2, that the simpleton Trump does not understand?  Oh, of course -- he cares nothing for the future of humanity.  All he cares about is himself.  

And what is it about the physics of the greenhouse effect that Trump fails to understand?

Earth's climate has fluctuated many times over the course of millions of years, and each warming/cooling episode was due to specific geophysical, astrophysical, or biological processes.  These included processes that altered the composition of the atmosphere and warmed or cooled the earth.  Cause and effect.

It is the same today, except that this time it is humanity's activities that have altered the atmosphere, the seas, and the land surface of the earth to cause an episode of global warming.

The physical processes and their consequences for humanity are all understandable to any literate person.  The science is open to all, and anyone with data and analysis to contradict global warming is free to publish papers to that effect and try to convince others.

And so we see opportunists and the enemies of humanity resort to propaganda in a desperate attempt to convince the ignorant, the lazy, the jealous, the disaffected, and the desperate that there is no serious, anthropogenic climate change.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous of those opportunists and enemies of humanity.

Trying to stop scientific inquiry is sooooooooooo effective!
