SOUTH CAROLINA IS LOBBYING TO ALLOW DISCRIMINATION AGAINST JEWISH PARENTS
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering whether to grant a South Carolina request that would effectively allow faith-based foster care agencies in the state the ability to deny Jewish parents from fostering children in its network. The argument, from the state and from the agency, is that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act should not force a Protestant group to work with Jewish people if it violates a tenet of their faith.

Why Is Trump Spouting Russian Propaganda?
The president’s endorsement of the U.S.S.R.’s invasion of Afghanistan echoes a narrative promoted by Vladimir Putin.

The crazy part came during the president’s monologue defending his decision to withdraw all 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria and 7,000 from Afghanistan, about half the force in that country.

“Russia used to be the Soviet Union,” he said.
Afghanistan made it Russia, because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan. Russia … the reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. The problem is, it was a tough fight. And literally they went bankrupt; they went into being called Russia again, as opposed to the Soviet Union. You know, a lot of these places you’re reading about now are no longer part of Russia, because of Afghanistan...."

...Here’s why Trump’s lopsided view of this story is so telling. Inflicting that defeat on the U.S.S.R. was a major bipartisan foreign-policy priority of the 1980s. The policy was designed by Jimmy Carter’s national-security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and executed by the Reagan administration.

It’s amazing enough that any U.S. president would retrospectively endorse the Soviet invasion. What’s even more amazing is that he would do so using the very same falsehoods originally invoked by the Soviets themselves: “terrorists” and “bandit elements.”

It has been an important ideological project of the Putin regime to rehabilitate and justify the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. Putin does not care so much about Afghanistan, but he cares a lot about the image of the U.S.S.R. In 2005, Putin described the collapse of the Soviet Union as (depending on your preferred translation) “the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century” or “a major geopolitical disaster of the 20th century”—but clearly a thing very much to be regretted....

... It’s fitting that Putin’s campaign to reimpose official lying would culminate in a glorification of the catastrophic Afghanistan war. And clearly, that campaign has swayed the mind of the president of the United States. ...

Putin-style glorification of the Soviet regime is entering the mind of the president, inspiring his words and—who knows—perhaps shaping his actions. How that propaganda is reaching him—by which channels, via which persons—seems an important if not urgent question. But maybe what happened yesterday does not raise questions. Maybe it inadvertently reveals answers.

The terrifying depths of Donald Trump’s ignorance, in a single quote
Terry Glavin: The president’s recent claim that the Soviets were ‘right’ to invade Afghanistan is worse than idiotic—it’s downright frightening

It’s been two years since a reality-television mogul, billionaire real estate grifter and sleazy beauty-pageant impresario who somehow ended up on the Republican ticket in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, failed to win the popular vote but fluked his way into the White House anyhow by means of an antique back-door anomaly peculiar to the American political system known as the Electoral College.

We’re now at the half-way mark of Donald Trump’s term in the White House, and the relentless hum of his casual imbecilities, obscenities, banalities and outright fabrications has become so routine to the world’s daily dread that it is now just background noise in the ever-louder bedlam of America’s dystopian, freak-show political culture.

In the course of contradicting himself—or maybe not, it’s hard to say—on the matter of if and when he intends to withdraw U.S. troops from the 79-member anti-ISIS coalition (“Syria was lost long ago … we’re talking about sand and death”), Trump muttered something about Iranian forces in Syria being at liberty to do as they please. “They can do what they want there, frankly,” he said. Unsurprisingly, upon hearing the news of what certainly sounded like an abrupt and dramatic shift in U.S. policy, Israeli officials were reported to be in shock.

But then the subject turned to Afghanistan, and Trump’s fervent wish to withdraw American troops from the 39-nation military coalition there—down from 59 nations, at its height—which is currently battling a resurgent Taliban that has been emboldened by American dithering generally, and specifically by Trump’s oft-repeated intent to get shut of Afghanistan and walk away from the place altogether.

... But then Trump went right off the deep end with a disquisition on the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and his remarks betrayed a perilous, gawping ignorance of the very reason why Afghanistan became such a lawless hellhole in the first place—which is how it came to pass that al-Qaeda found sanctuary there with the deranged Pakistani subsidiary that came to be called the Taliban, which is how al-Qaeda managed to plan and organize the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001—which is the very reason the American troops that Trump keeps saying he wants to bring home are still there at all....

Iran ‘can do what they want’ in Syria: Trump’s comments defy the position of his top aides
In his first Cabinet meeting of the year, President Trump stuck a dagger in a major initiative advanced by his foreign policy team: Iran’s leaders, the president said, “can do what they want” in Syria.

With a stray remark, Trump snuffed out a plan from his national security adviser, John Bolton, who this fall vowed that the United States would not leave Syria “as long as Iranian troops are outside Iranian borders.”

The president’s statement offered the latest illustration of the dramatic gyrations that have characterized his foreign policy and fueled questions about whether his senior advisers are implementing his policies or pursuing their own agendas.

When they go low, we go high. lol

"I will never send our finest into battle unless necessary, and I mean absolutely necessary. And will only do so if we have a plan for victory with a capital 'V' ... We’re getting out of the nation-building business and instead focusing on creating stability in the world. Our moments of greatest strength came when politics ended at the water’s edge ... Unlike other candidates for the presidency, war and aggression will not be my first instinct. You cannot have a foreign policy without diplomacy. A superpower understands that caution and restraint are really truly signs of strength."

Donald Trump.

Diese Worte werden geflissentlich übersehen werden in unseren Supermedien. Sie erklären auch, warum Trump bei großen Teilen des Establishments in Washington, bei Demokraten und Republikanern, so unbeliebt, ja verhasst ist.

US-Shutdown
Das echte Chaos kommt erst noch
Der Shutdown der US-Regierung verläuft einigermaßen glimpflich. Doch finden Donald Trump und die Demokraten nicht bald eine Lösung für ihren Haushaltsstreit, wird es brenzlig.
http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/us...-a-1246882.html

Heute Abend in seiner angekuendigten Fernsehrede wird er vermutlich klein beigeben. Wenn auch wahrscheinlich hinter einer verlogenen Emergency Power Declaration verpackt, die er dann vor Gericht verlieren wird. Das ist aber dann spaeter. Es geht dem Narcissten jetzt ausschliesslich um den Gesichtsverlust -nachdem er sich mit seiner ueblichen verlogenen Grossmaeuligkeit dahinein manoeveriert hat.

Gibt er nicht bei, dann werden bei Ende der Woche die Republikaner im Kongress wohl soweit weichgekocht sein um ein Trumpsky Veto zu ueberstimmen. Irgendwann kann ihn auch McConnell nicht mehr beschuetzen -nicht wenn ihm die Truppen weglaufen.

Natalia Veselnitskaya, Russian lawyer from Trump Tower meeting, indicted by federal prosecutors
The New York Times is reporting that Natalia Veselnitskaya—the Russian lawyer made famous by her participation in the Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump’s top campaign staff—has been indicted by federal prosecutors. The indictment is not part of the special counsel investigation into connections between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia. However, there could definitely be implications for both Veselnitskaya and Trump.

Veselnitskaya represents Russian-owned Prevezon Holdings in a civil case concerning charges of money laundering and tax fraud. Federal prosecutors have accused Prevezon of stealing the identity of other companies to collect tax refunds and of falsifying losses to disguise revenues. These schemes allowed Prevezon to funnel more than $230 million through a Cyrus-based shell company. Importantly, the money then came back into the U.S. in the form of real estate purchases, including luxury apartments in Manhattan.

The indictment against Veselnitskaya charges her with working directly with the Russian government to create false cover for Prevezon and the Russian oligarchs behind the scheme, saying that “In doing so, Veselnitskaya obstructed the civil proceeding.” That further cements the connection between both Prevezon and Veselnitskaya to Vladimir Putin’s government.

So … the Russian lawyer from the Trump Tower meeting, despite claims that she was a private citizen, was working directly with the Russian government to cover up a conspiracy to commit tax fraud, identity theft, and money laundering through real estate. That’s exactly the same kind of money laundering and tax fraud behind the charges against former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, and exactly the kind of money laundering that powered Trump back from bankruptcy. Trump’s surrogates, including Rudy Giuliani, will be quick to dismiss the charges against Veselnitskaya as unrelated to Trump and unrelated to “collusion.” But federal prosecutors are charging one of those present at the Trump Tower meeting with working directly with the Russian government in a scheme to obstruct justice in the United States. That’s a big deal, and it is collusion.

But as bad as the Trump Tower meeting was, it took place at the request of the Russians. They were the ones who approached the Trump campaign, not the other way around.

By contrast, the Clinton campaign proactively sought dirt on Trump from Russian government sources. They did it through cutouts. In April 2016, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS to compile incriminating information on Trump. Fusion GPS in turn hired Christopher Steele, a former British MI6 operative with sources among Russian government officials. The result was the salacious dossier, whose sources included “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin.

News networks should not air Trump Wall speech without fact-checking first
On the same day Donald Trump asked broadcast networks for air time, he attacked the news media as 'the enemy of the people.'

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he “will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.”
Keep in mind that just a few hours earlier, Trump declared on Twitter: “The Fake News Media in our Country is the real Opposition Party. It is truly the Enemy of the People! We must bring honesty back to journalism and reporting!”

On the same day that he continued his never-ending attack on the free press, President Trump is asking the media to give him prime-time air to address the nation.
They shouldn’t.
It is a disservice to the American people to broadcast, without context or real-time fact-checking, someone who is using the airwaves for the sole purpose of lying to the American people about an overtly racist agenda.

In 710 days, Trump has made 7,645 false or misleading claims. He is a proven, pathological liar. He lies about things large and small. He lies when he doesn’t even need to. He even lies when there is indisputable evidence proving he is wrong.
