How is this psycho still in the WH??? I think every single person that defends and covers up for this pathetic unhinged lunatic should be held accountable for every thing that implicates Trump!

Sarah Sanders: I lied to the American people because I'm not a Democrat
Sarah Huckabee Sanders got caught in a lie in the Mueller report, and her spin to excuse her behavior is as shameless as you'd expect

Special counsel Robert Mueller's report exposed White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for what everyone already knew she was: A bald-faced liar.

On Friday, she tried to explain away her unethical behavior. But in doing so, she only made things worse for herself.
"It was the heat of the moment, meaning that it wasn't a scripted talking point," Sanders said Friday morning in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "I'm sorry that I wasn't a robot like the Democrat Party."

After Mueller report, Twitter bots pushed 'Russiagate hoax' narrative
As social media platforms continue to prepare for the 2020 election, efforts to spread disinformation and sow discord remain an ongoing issue.

A network of more than 5,000 pro-Trump Twitter bots railed against the “Russiagate hoax” shortly after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report last week, according to data gathered by a prominent disinformation researcher and analyzed by NBC News. The network illustrates the ongoing challenge Twitter faces in persistent efforts to manipulate its platform.

These bots, however, did not appear to come from Russia. Instead, the bots had ties to a social media operation that previously pushed messages backing the government of Saudi Arabia and were connected to a person who claimed to be a private social media consultant, according to internet domain and account registration records. The bots, which were created last November and December, were pulled down by Twitter on Sunday night for breaking the social network’s rules against “manipulation,” the company said.

So, so, das waren Angriffe auf "Osterverehrer", "Easter worshipper". (Niemand verehrt Ostern, sondern Christen feiern an Ostern die Auferstehung Jesu Christi.) Und die "far right" ist wütend über die Angriffe auf Kirchen in Sri Lanka. Ja, man muss schon ein Nazi oder ein Rassist sein, um die Angriffe auf Kirchen abscheulich zu finden.

Progressiveness ist keine politische Haltung - wie "links" oder "rechts" zu sein, es ist ein "mental disorder". (Natürlich machen sich Leute wie Obama oder Killary das zunutze, indem sie das bedienen.)

And, of course, if Trump writes "we will never forget" he wants his supporters to threaten her life.

It's so sad that Putin is a Christian. If he were a Muslim he would be a victim rather than perpetrator...

Trump Spends Meeting With Twitter’s Jack Dorsey Whining About His Follower Count
President Donald Trump is completely hung up on his Twitter follower count. And he let the social media giant’s CEO know it.

According to a Washington Post report, Trump spent much of Tuesday’s meeting with Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, among others, complaining that the site was artificially deflating how many followers he has.
Dorsey reportedly tried to soothe the President, telling him that fluctuating follower counts often indicate Twitter’s attempt to purge bots or fake accounts from the site.

Twitter CEO Gently Tells Trump: Your ‘Lost’ Followers Are Bots and Spam Accounts
Jack Dorsey may have wanted to use Tuesday’s meeting to talk up Twitter’s efforts to fight the opioid epidemic, but the president had more important things on his mind.

During this private gathering in the West Wing, Dorsey assured Trump that the company wants him, and everyone else on Twitter, to have only real followers, according to the source.

Two people close to Trump previously told The Daily Beast that Trump has repeatedly griped to associates about how his predecessor, President Obama, has had more Twitter followers than he has, even though—by Trump’s own assessment—he is so much better at Twitter than Obama is.

Republicans block $250 million to beef up election security
Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic push Wednesday that would have provided $250 million to beef up election security.

The money would have been doled out in grants through the Federal Election Assistance Commission and helped, among other things, replace outdated voting equipment and increase cybersecurity efforts.

‘This is risky’: Trump’s thirst for Mueller revenge could land him in trouble
Team Trump’s bellicose tweets and public statements in the last few days could expose the president to fresh charges of witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.

Special counsel Robert Mueller may be done, but President Donald Trump and his team are still adding to an already hefty record of evidence that could fuel impeachment proceedings or future criminal indictments.

Team Trump’s bellicose tweets and public statements in the last few days are potentially exposing Trump to fresh charges of witness intimidation, obstruction of justice and impeding a congressional investigation — not to mention giving lawmakers more fodder for their presidential probes — according to Democrats and legal experts.
Already, a fusillade of verbal assaults aimed at former White House counsel Don McGahn, a star witness in the Mueller report, have sparked questions about obstruction and witness intimidation as Democrats fight the Trump White House to get McGahn’s documents and testimony.

“This is risky,” said William Jeffress, a prominent Washington defense attorney who represented President Richard Nixon after he left the White House. “I find it surprising because he’s taking these shots at witnesses who gave information to Mueller, and I think he’s got to be careful because there’s an explicit federal statute punishing retaliation against witnesses.”
It’s a lesson some thought Trump would have learned during the Mueller investigation.

“TRUMP’S FURIOUS WITH DON”: INSIDE THE PRESIDENT’S MAR-A-LAGO MELTDOWN
The president is raging against his former staff and wants to sue Don McGahn—but staff think he and his lawyers blew it. “You didn’t have to send me in there,” said one witness. But Giuliani says: Nothing to see here!

With Democrats weighing impeachment and his approval rating dropping to its lowest levels of the year, the risks are very real. In response, Trump is lashing out at former West Wing officials whom he blames for providing the lion’s share of damaging information in Mueller’s 448-page report. The former officials Trump has vented about, sources told me, are a group known as “the notetakers” that includes former White House counsel Don McGahn, McGahn’s deputy Annie Donaldson, and staff secretary Rob Porter. “The thing that pisses him off is the note-taking,” a former West Wing official interviewed by Mueller told me. “Trump thinks they could have cooperated with Mueller without all the note-taking.”

Of all Trump’s former staff members, McGahn is receiving the brunt of Trump’s post-Mueller rage. McGahn reportedly spoke to prosecutors for 30 hours during at least three voluntary interviews. He was cited 157 times in the report—more than any witness—and provided vivid examples of Trump’s efforts to obstruct justice, while presenting himself as an ethical actor, a circumstance that’s always been galling for the president. “Trump’s furious with Don,” a source close to the White House, said. According to the source, Trump wants his lawyer Rudy Giuliani to file a personal lawsuit against McGahn for making defamatory statements in the Mueller report. (“Trump never asked me to sue anyone,” Giuliani told me).

FACT CHECK: Russian Interference Went Far Beyond 'Facebook Ads' Kushner Described
The redacted version of Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller's report revealed a years-long plot by the Russian government to interfere in the U.S. that investigators called "sweeping and systemic."

As to the amount of money expended on Facebook ads, the company said Russian operatives did spend less than $200,000 on advertising on the platform — but that doesn't account for the organic content the operatives created and shared.
Not only were influence specialists within Russia's Internet Research Agency purchasing normal advertisements, they were authoring their own posts, memes and other content as they posed as American users.
They also reached out to politically active Americans, posing as like-minded supporters, and helped organize rallies and other events in the real world.

Facebook says the Internet Research Agency may have reached as many as 126 million people. Separately, Twitter announced that about 1.4 million people may have been in contact with IRA-controlled accounts.
The social media aspect of the interference was just one dimension. Cyberattackers also went after political victims in the United States — whose emails and other data were released publicly to embarrass them — and state elections officials and other targets. And there may have been other avenues of interference as well.

Russian operatives lied to get into the U.S. as early as 2014 on "intelligence-gathering missions." They traveled across the country to get the lay of the land before ramping up efforts to try to interfere with American politics.
By September 2016, two months before the U.S. presidential election, the Internet Research Agency was working with an overall monthly budget that reached over $1.25 million. It employed hundreds of employees, a graphics department, a data analysis department, a search-engine optimization department, an IT department and a finance department, according to an indictment filed last year by Mueller's team.
And it hasn't stopped.

Mitch McConnell should explain why he obscured Russian interference in our election
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should explain why he blocked a bipartisan denunciation of Russian interference in our election before voters went to the polls.

Americans deserve to hear why McConnell did not trust them with the evidence that he and 11 other congressional leaders received in a confidential briefing in September.
The Washington Post reports that during that briefing McConnell “made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.”
McConnell also questioned the veracity of the intelligence, according to the Post, based on information from unidentified officials present at the September briefing.

On Monday, McConnell said he had the “highest confidence” in U.S. intelligence agencies.

Pipe bomb suspect Cesar Sayoc describes Trump rallies as 'new found drug'
The Florida man who pleaded guilty to mailing explosive devices said in a letter to a federal judge that attending a rally for President Donald Trump "became like a new found drug."

Cesar Sayoc has admitted to sending pipe bombs to CNN, and various Democratic officials and donors. He pleaded guilty last month to 65 felony counts, including using weapons of mass destruction in an attempted domestic terrorist attack.

Okay, I got it. :-)

"Ellis ist genervt von der Trump-Hysterie, die besonders die intellektuelle Linke der USA beherrscht. Kein Abendessen, keine Party, wo der Trump-Schock nicht zur Sprache kommt. Ellis' jüngerer Lebensgefährte hat nach der Wahl die gemeinsame Wohnung kaum verlassen, ist äußerlich verwahrlost. Trump, so scheint es, ist die zweite amerikanische Tragödie des 21. Jahrhunderts nach 9/11."

Eigentlich ist Trump eher der fünfte apokalyptische Reiter, der in der Johannes-Offenbarung leider nicht genannt wird.

Interessant ist, dass sich im Land (und vielleicht darüber hinaus) offensichtlich etwas verändert hat, wenn ein Erfolgsautor in den USA meint, nicht mit Trumpbashing - hi Robert de Niro :-) - Erfolg zu erzielen, sondern indem er die Trump-Basher basht.

Anti-gay Christian activist: People like me ‘will be hated’ if Pete Buttigieg becomes president
Anti-LGBTQ activist Peter LaBarbera heads the “Americans for Truth About Homosexuality,” but there wasn’t much “truth” in his words during a recent appearance on the Crosstalk program last week, where he warned that a potential Pete Buttigieg presidency would spell doom for conservative Christians.

According to LaBarbera, Buttigieg’s launch to third-place in the polls is a sign that America is “morally and spiritually” lost and is turning towards the “religious left.”
“His open homosexuality is very important because were Pete Buttigieg to rise to vice president or president, it becomes a very bad role model and lesson for America’s children,” LaBarbera said in an audio clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “They will be indoctrinated even further into thinking that it’s acceptable, normal, and OK that instead of having a first lady or a second lady, we would have, I suppose, a first husband for a man. Imagine what we’re teaching our children. Is America that far gone.”

Trump repeats conspiracy theory Fox News distanced itself from 2 years ago
President Trump on Wednesday repeated a conspiracy theory that British intelligence spied on his 2016 campaign, an idea that Fox News backed away from years ago.

Trump tweeted out a quote from a former CIA analyst, who on the right-wing One America News Network alleged that U.K. intelligence helped former President Barack Obama's administration spy on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Trump added that eventually, "the truth comes out."

How Fox News Made My Dad Crazy
A new film produced by Golden Globe-winning actor Matthew Modine fires shots at Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the right-wing media machine.

... It was just the beginning of a sharp change in character that, ex-hippie Senko eventually realized, coincided with her father’s increasing idolatry of the radical right-wing-media and his “hero”: talk radio lion Rush Limbaugh.

Armed with a camera, she began chronicling her father’s rants and antagonistic emails so aggressive his own wife learned to stop talking politics at home. (Years later Senko’s mother slyly deprogrammed the remote controls, weaning her husband off of Fox News.) While actor Matthew Modine (who produced with Adam Rackoff) narrates much of the film, Senko frequently turns the camera on herself and interviews fellow exasperated family members to try to understand what happened.

It began when the filmmaker’s father took a new job that required long commutes and he started listening to right-wing talk shows on the radio on his drives. They turned out to be merely the gateway drug. As Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel took off and ushered in a new era of 24-hour news cycles and rabid punditry, Senko’s dad became more obsessed. He started sleeping in another room, leaving his wife in their bedroom, so he could watch Fox News all night. ...

... “His entire life became consumed by the agendas that were inundating him on the radio, the television, and through the mail. He joined every radical right Republican organization he could,” Senko said. “Like the NRA—he had never fired a gun in his life! He never hunted, he wasn’t a sportsman. He just got totally bamboozled and signed onboard with everything. It was scary.” ...

... As a result, The Brainwashing Of My Dad isn’t just about one family slowly losing a loved one to ugly political extremism. It’s also a densely packed, sometimes overstuffed examination of how shrewd strategists engineered a long-term takeover of the media on behalf of the GOP, arguing that right-wing think tanks, advocacy groups, and media outlets together achieved what the left has always refused, or been unable, to do: manipulate the minds of America. ...

Mueller report underscores dangerous Trump disdain for rule of law: Ex-GOP officials
When he told the president that a “real lawyer” take notes, then-White House counsel Don McGahn showed he understood a lawyer’s proper function. He knew that a lawyer’s job is to advise clients about what the law allows and also what it prohibits. Notes are a symbol of a deeper reality — that truth and facts are at the core of the rule of law, and that lawyers are the guardians of those values.

President Donald Trump's ongoing assault on the rule of law seeks most basically to prevent lawyers from performing this role. Leading up to the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report, we saw multiple news accounts, some based on unidentified administration officials and other sources, about a president directing law enforcement agents to ignore judicial orders; working to hollow out a vital domestic law enforcement agency, the Department of Homeland Security, because its leaders will not bend to his will; and suggesting that he will punish his political opponents by targeting them for adverse actions.

And to facilitate those and other actions, the president has taken steps to remove lawyers and other officials from their positions because they adhere to the rule of law and refuse to permit him to ignore it.
