President Trump made 8,158 false or misleading claims in his first two years
Two years after taking the oath of office, President Trump has made 8,158 false or misleading claims, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.

That includes an astonishing 6,000-plus such claims in the president’s second year.

Put another way: The president averaged nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in his first year in office. But he hit nearly 16.5 a day in his second year, almost triple the pace.

Trump’s Lawyer Said There Were “No Plans” For Trump Tower Moscow. Here They Are.
Rudy Giuliani claims the Moscow tower was barely more than a notion. “There were no drafts. Nothing in the file.” Documents obtained by BuzzFeed News tell a different story.

Incompetent or devious? Rudy Giuliani bewilders Washington as Trump spokesman
“America’s Mayor” has become Washington’s mystery.

Specifically: what the heck is going on with Rudy Giuliani?

... Tyler said Giuliani is “out of control.” But he also said it is an “impossible task” to speak for a president whose lying is so “pathological” that top surrogates won’t work for him.
“Rudy is one of the few who are willing to go out there and damage his own reputation on behalf of the president. There just aren’t many people with stature willing to do that,” Tyler said

The questions about Giuliani’s aptitude were renewed by bizarre performances in three interviews this week that seemed, again, to worsen Trump’s position.
“One wonders if everything’s all right with Rudy Giuliani,” Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly said on CNN, adding, “He sounds like a crazy old uncle.”

Trump pursued a deal in Russia and hid it from voters
Candidate misled voters about 'nothing to do with Russia.' He signed a Trump Tower Moscow letter on the day of a presidential debate: Our view

Americans might soon learn what, if anything, special counsel Robert Mueller has found out about potential collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia.

But there's one Trump-Moscow link where the emerging evidence is already as damning as it is disturbing.
During much, if not all, of Trump's campaign he sought to enrich himself by pursuing a luxury hotel-condominium-office deal in Russia known as Trump Tower Moscow.
And as a candidate, Trump repeatedly misled or lied to voters about his business with Russia. "I have nothing to do with Russia," he told reporters in July 2016. "I don't deal there," he said during the Oct. 9 presidential debate.

Poll: Shutdown, Russia drive Trump to all-time high disapproval
President Donald Trump's disapproval rating is at an all-time high amid a historically long partial government shutdown and concerns about the president's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

Nearly 6-in-10 voters — 57 percent — disapprove of Trump's job performance, compared to the 40 percent that approve. In addition, 54 percent of voters blame Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill for the government shutdown. Only 35 percent blame congressional Democrats.

Poll: Only 7% of Voters Back Wall Funding to End Shutdown
Only 7 percent of American voters surveyed support giving Donald Trump funding for his Mexico border wall to end the U.S. government shutdown, according to a new poll. The results of poll, carried out for Politico and Morning Consult, reveal a series of damning numbers for the president, including those that show his disapproval rating at an all-time-high.

And further bad news for the White House: The poll also shows that a majority of the respondents, 57 percent, believe it’s likely that Russia “has compromising information“ on Trump.

Teachable moment: Kentucky, we need to talk about our white supremacist problem.

"Regardless of how the story is told, the fact remains that the students attended an all-male Christian private school in our state. The state where Cherokee and other native tribes were forced to cede their land to white Christians in the 1800’s. The state where the Ku Klux Klan is headquartered in Dawson Springs. The state where a white supremacist shot and killed two elderly black citizens at a Kroger in Jeffersontown less than three months ago. Whether or not you think there is a connection between the school, the students, and this history of oppression and racial violence, the optics are uncomfortable at best."

The Scandal That Keeps On Giving
The Louisville Courier Journal first reported last night that a GOP-aligned PR firm run (along with two other partners) by a paid CNN commentator, Scott Jennings, was the outfit behind the published testimonial of Nick Sandmann, the high school junior got into that stand-off with Native American activist Nathan Phillips in DC on Friday.

But there’s more! Jennings was also a key player in the US Attorney firing scandal way back when.

Scott Jennings’ PR Firm Played Big Role In Phillips-Sandmann Spin
PR firm RunSwitch, co-run by adviser to Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Scott Jennings, has played a significant role in quelling the outrage over a video that at first appeared to show a MAGA hat-wearing teen disrespectfully crowding the space of and smirking at a Native American man.

The firm said in a statement that it “has been retained by the Sandmann family to offer professional counsel with what has become a national media story.

Grund fuer den Aufenthalt der Schule in DC war kein anderer als am alljaehrlichen "Pro-life March" teilzunehmen. Ein Marsch, der stark von der Katholischen Kirche und den Evangelikalen befeuert wird. Und wo es um die Abschaffung bestehender Abtreibungsgesetze geht.

Obwohl die Kirchen steuerfrei sind und sich dafuer aus der Parteipolitik herauszuhalten haben, ist es trotzdem laengst eine gezielte parteipolitische Veranstaltung geworden. Es geht da auch um die weitere Benachteiligung der Frauen, der Diskriminierung von Gays, um Unterdruekung der Transexuellen Menschen und sofort -Taliban Stuff eben.
Deswegen auch die vielen Trumpsky Kappen, deswegen auch das prompte Engagement der rechtsaussen Propagandaorgane und das Geroechel aus dem Weissen Haus. Deswegen auch das Geplaerre von "Build the Wall" und warum Vergewaltigung kein Verbrechen sei.

Willie, du hast uns überzeugt: Diese weißen, privilegierten kids (white privilege) sind verantwortlich für den KKK, sie sind verantwortlich dafür, dass den Indianern das Land weggenommen wurde, sie sind verantwortlich für die Sklaverei. Die armen Schwarzen dieser Black Hebrew Israelites, die die wirklichen Nachfahren der Israeliten sind, haben die Jungen auch nicht beleidigt, sondern wurden beleidigt durch die Präsenz dieser Jungen. Und der Vietnamveteran, der nie in Vietnam gewesen ist, und als einziger hörte "Build that wall" (was wäre so schlimm gewesen, wenn tatsächlich einer der Jungs das gesagt hätte?), hatte jedes Recht, ganz nah am Ohr des weißen Jungen zu trommeln. Soll dieser doch den Weg freimachen.

Und natürlich ist alles eine Intrige böser weißer PR-Manager, die auf Betreiben des bösen Präsidenten gehandelt haben. Sie haben auch die Berichte geschrieben, in denen die Jungen attackiert wurden. Und sie haben die Progressiven veranlasst, Morddrohungen auszusprechen, was natürlich eine reine Verteidigungsmaßnahme war. Schön auch, dass immer wieder huffington post zitiert wird, wie war das nochmal mit buzzfeed.

Egal, Willie, ich beneide dich: Schuld sind immer die weißen, die reichen, die Trump-Wähler, die Hinterwäldler. Wie einfach muss das Leben sein, wenn man immer die passende Kategorie zur Hand hat.

Ich bewundere den Schüler, der so ruhig geblieben ist. Ich glaube, wenn mir jemand so penetrant mit einem Abstand von 10 oder 15 Zentimetern minutenlang etwas vortrommelt, ich glaube, ich hätte dem Typen eine gescheuert. Dann hätten die Medien wirklich ein Aufregerthema gehabt.

Dennoch noch ein Bildungstip -wenn auch vermutlich hoffnungslos:

In meinen "liberalen" Kreisen schrieb ein Journalist zu obigem:
"I’m very grateful to have grown up in a home where, if I’d been caught in a racist mob while I was a teenager, my parents would have punished me rather than hiring a PR firm to defend me."

On a more positive note:
Ocasio-Cortez and liberal freshmen join Oversight Committee
The House Oversight Committee is adding a group of progressive flamethrowers to its ranks.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) won spots on the high-profile committee on Tuesday, two sources told POLITICO.
The new members, all of whom are freshmen except Khanna, have been critical of President Donald Trump, and their addition to the committee comes as Democrats have pledged to launch wide-ranging investigations into the president and his administration.

Rep. Dan Kildee, a member of the Democratic steering panel, said he was excited about the progressive picks.
“I want people to be aggressive, especially on that committee. It’s good to have people who aren’t afraid,” the Michigan Democrat said in an interview. “They’re going to be dealing with some pretty important stuff.”

Endlich gibt es wieder eine "oversight" ueber die Machenschaften der Executive -also der Trump Administration- nachdem die Republikaner in ihrem Verantwortungsbereich praktisch alles haben "diemern und damern" lassen. Die Trumpskies waren quasi ohne jegliche Aufsichtskontrolle. Das wird sich jetzt aendern.

Und schon geht's rund:
House Dems launch investigation into Trump administration's use of security clearances
House Democratic investigators launched a probe on Wednesday into the Trump administration’s use of security clearances and temporary security clearances, accusing the White House of playing fast and loose with the nation’s most guarded secrets.

Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings laid out several lines of inquiry on the matter in a letter to the White House, naming former national security adviser Michael Flynn and top officials who he wrote should have raised red flags. ...

... Cummings is requesting information on any problems or issues that arose in the security clearance processes for multiple individuals, including Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russia; Flynn's son Michael Flynn Jr.; former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland; national security adviser John Bolton; Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser; Rob Porter, the former White House staff secretary who left amid allegations of spousal abuse; former National Security Council senior director Robin Townley; Trump’s personal assistant John McEntee; and former deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka.

The letter also requests any documents and information gathered from Kelly’s own internal review of the security clearance process last year, “which reportedly found that 34 White House officials who had started working on the first day of the Trump Administration were still working with interim security clearances as of November 2017 and that more than 130 political appointees in the Executive Office of the President were working with interim security clearances as of that date,” the Cummings wrote.
