Trump admin may return alleged spy compounds to Russia
The Trump administration is moving toward returning two diplomatic compounds to Russia that were seized by the Obama administration on the grounds that they were used for espionage, the Washington Post reports.

Flashback: In December, Obama ordered the compounds — in Maryland and New York — closed and expelled 35 alleged Russian spies in retaliation for the Kremlin's meddling in the 2016 election.

Why it matters that the administration is even considering the move:
- This would completely undermine Obama, and the U.S. response to Russia's election interference.
- It would be a major concession to Russia, particularly if nothing is given in return, at a time when the very mention of Russia carries a whiff of scandal and intrigue.
- On a more basic level, it would mean re-opening compounds from which Russian spies reportedly operated for decades.

Trump Exempts Entire Senior Staff From White House Ethics Rules
After a pointed exchange with ethics officials, the White House has released a list of waivers to Trump’s ethics rules—and Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon, and more are exempted.

Bannon and Conway will both be free to work with a network of political groups backed by the wealthy Mercer family, which was integral to Trump’s victory last year and continues to support his agenda as president.

Three former lobbyists in the White House, and one on the vice president’s staff, have also been exempted from “revolving door” rules imposed by that executive order, allowing them to work on administration policies that might benefit former clients.
The list provides the first official glimpse at the extent to which Trump has circumvented his own ethics rules by hiring former special interest advocates of the type that he railed against on the campaign trail.

First on CNN: Sources: Congress investigating another possible Sessions-Kislyak meeting
Congressional investigators are examining whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions had an additional private meeting with Russia's ambassador during the presidential campaign, according to Republican and Democratic Hill sources and intelligence officials briefed on the investigation.

Sessions has previously failed to disclose meetings with Russian officials. During his confirmation hearing on January 10, Sessions testified that he "did not have any communications with the Russians" during the campaign. He also said in a written statement submitted to the Senate judiciary committee that he was not in contact with anyone linked to the Russian government during the election.
Those answers became problematic for Sessions when reports emerged in March that he did have two meetings with Kislyak during the campaign -- one at the Republican National Convention in July and one in his Senate office in September. Sessions conceded that the meetings happened but insisted they were part of his Senate duties and had nothing to do with the campaign. Nonetheless, Sessions was forced to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.

Steve Bannon just got the power to run his white supremacist site from the White House
The Trump administration has granted top aide Steve Bannon a waiver that will allow him to control the editorial direction of the white supremacist Breitbart site, while still working for the government on the taxpayers' dime.

... Erst der Brexit und anschließend auch noch Trump, das sind gleich zwei Schubkräfte, die der EU ganz erheblichen Auftrieb verleihen werden...

---

Das halte ich für einen Trugschluss.
Die EU ist ein Verein, der sich zum Schaden der Bürger der einzelnen Staaten zusammengeschlossen hat, um sich gegenseitig Fallen zu stellen.
Höhere Ausgaben und Mittelkürzungen an anderer Stelle werden da nur mehr Streit untereinander hervorrufen.

Trump könnte tatsächlich aus diesem Teufelskreis führen, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt.

Merkels Antwort auf Trump findet überragenden Rückhalt

Nach Wahlpräferenz analysiert, sind besonders die Anhänger der SPD (96,1%), der Grünen (95,9%) und der Union (94%) für eine vertiefte Zusammenarbeit innerhalb der EU als Reaktion auf Trumps Protektionismus. Aber auch die Zustimmungswerte der Linken (87,6%) und der FDP (82,1%) sind auf einem ähnlich hohen Niveau.

Es ist hier nicht wichtig, ob Trump beim Abspielen seiner Nationalhymne schunkelt oder mitsingt. Das stört beim Wesentlichen: der politischen Praxis.

Übrigens ist Corbyn zur Zeit im Aufwind. Könnte mit Sanders auch so gehen, wenn man ihn denn nicht aus dem eigenen Lager verhinderte.

---

Auf der Insel befindet sich vor allen Dingen der Frust der Massen im Aufwind und beflügelt einen weiteren Irrläufer zu bisher in GB nicht gekannten Höchstleistungen. Er ist auf seine Art das Labour-Pendant zu dem Tory Boris Johnson.

Dagegen ist Sanders ein Leuchtfeuer an Vernunft, Anstand und Durchblick, aber als Kapitän der USS-Nation kommt er nicht (mehr) in Frage, aber was vom ihm bleiben wird, das ist seine politische Agenda.

Trump Hands the Chinese a Gift: The Chance for Global Leadership
President Trump has managed to turn America First into America Isolated.

In pulling out of the Paris climate accord, Mr. Trump has created a vacuum of global leadership that presents ripe opportunities to allies and adversaries alike to reorder the world’s power structure. His decision is perhaps the greatest strategic gift to the Chinese, who are eager to fill the void that Washington is leaving around the world on everything from setting the rules of trade and environmental standards to financing the infrastructure projects that give Beijing vast influence.

The announcement came only days after he declined to give his NATO allies a forceful reaffirmation of America’s commitment to their security, and a few months after he abandoned a trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, that was designed to put the United States at the center of a trade group that would compete with — and, some argue, contain — China’s fast-growing economic might.
“The irony here is that people worried that Trump would come in and make the world safe for Russian meddling,” said Richard N. Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who was briefly considered, then rejected, for a top post in the new administration. “He may yet do that,” Mr. Haass added, “but he has certainly made the world safe for Chinese influence.”...

...China has long viewed the possibility of a partnership with Europe as a balancing strategy against the United States. Now, with Mr. Trump questioning the basis of NATO, the Chinese are hoping that their partnership with Europe on the climate accord may allow that relationship to come to fruition faster than their grand strategy imagined.

Naturally, the Chinese are using the biggest weapon in their quiver: Money. Their plan, known as “One Belt, One Road,” is meant to buy China influence from Ethiopia to Britain, from Malaysia to Hungary, all the while refashioning the global economic order.
Mr. Xi announced the sweeping initiative last month, envisioning spending $1 trillion on huge infrastructure projects across Africa, Asia and Europe. It is a plan with echoes of the Marshall Plan and other American efforts at aid and investment, but on a scale with little precedent in modern history. And the clear subtext is that it is past time to toss out the rules of aging, American-dominated international institutions, and to conduct commerce on China’s terms.

Trump Has No Idea What He Just Did or the Backlash That Awaits
If he's capable of regret, he'll regret leaving the Paris deal.

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2...-climate-deal-0

No, he is not capable of regret. He is only capable of blaming others for his ow blunders.

Why Trump Actually Pulled Out Of Paris
It wasn't because of the climate, or to help American business. He needed to troll the world—and this was his best shot so far.

Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement was not really about the climate. And despite his overheated rhetoric about the “tremendous” and “draconian” burdens the deal would impose on the U.S. economy, Trump’s decision wasn’t really about that, either. America’s commitments under the Paris deal, like those of the other 194 cooperating nations, were voluntary. So those burdens were imaginary.

No, Trump’s abrupt withdrawal from this carefully crafted multilateral compromise was a diplomatic and political slap: it was about extending a middle finger to the world, while reminding his base that he shares its resentments of fancy-pants elites and smarty-pants scientists and tree-hugging squishes who look down on real Americans who drill for oil and dig for coal.

He was thrusting the United States into the role of global renegade, rejecting not only the scientific consensus about climate but the international consensus for action, joining only Syria and Nicaragua (which wanted an even greener deal) in refusing to help the community of nations address a planetary problem. Congress doesn’t seem willing to pay for Trump’s border wall—and Mexico certainly isn’t—so rejecting the Paris deal was an easier way to express his Fortress America themes without having to pass legislation....

...Climate change will affect the entire earth, from drought-ravaged farm villages in Africa to floodprone condo towers in Miami, but for Trump it’s just a symbol of the stuff that people who don’t like Trump care about.
Paris is just an Obama legacy that he can kill, when he doesn’t have the votes to kill Obama’s health reforms or Wall Street regulations or tax hikes on the wealthy. Whatever damage Trump’s climate policies cause to the planet will be collateral damage, shrapnel from his political war on elites and the left and Obama.

"Glaeubige":
Did God choose Trump? What it means to believe in divine intervention
Democracy may be based on the principle of “one person, one vote,” but some people who supported Donald Trump believe the Master of the Universe cast the master ballot.

“God raised up, I believe, Donald Trump,” said former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann after he won the GOP nomination. “God showed up,” the Rev. Franklin Graham said to cheers at a post-election rally.
“For me, that has to be providence. That has to be the hand of God,” said Paula White, an evangelical pastor Trump has tapped to pray at his inauguration.

While it is unclear how many people accept this version of events — polling organizations contacted by RNS didn’t have statistics on it — conservative Christians appear most likely to embrace it.
But taken to its logical conclusion, the belief that God is in control of earthly events leads to noxious moral positions and bad public policy, warns William Schweiker, an ordained Methodist minister and professor of theological ethics at the University of Chicago Divinity School.

“It means it’s OK with you and it’s God’s will that millions of people starve to death because of our actions,” he says.
“We don’t need to worry about the nations going under water because of climate change.”
http://religionnews.com/2017/01/17/did-g...n-really-means/

GOP rep: If climate change is real, God will 'take care of it'
Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) told constituents last week that he believes if climate change is a real problem, God can fix it.

“I believe there’s climate change,” Walberg said at a town hall last Friday in Coldwater, Mich., according to the Huffington Post, which obtained video of the exchange.
“I believe there’s been climate change since the beginning of time. I think there are cycles. Do I think that man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No.
“Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that, if there’s a real problem, he can take care of it.”
Walberg said during the town hall he doesn't expect everyone to agree with him on that view.

17 Spricht er zum drittenmal zu ihm: Simon Jona, hast du mich lieb? Petrus ward traurig, daß er zum drittenmal zu ihm sagte: Hast du mich lieb? und sprach zu ihm: HERR, du weißt alle Dinge, du weißt, daß ich dich liebhabe. Spricht Jesus zu ihm: Weide meine Schafe! "

Der Meinung bin ich auch. Über so eine positive Entwicklung, weg vom Schamanentum zu Realitäten, sollte man mehr sprechen. Die Aufklärung kam wie ein erfrischender Regenschauer über die Menschen, aber bis das Wasser in alle vertrockneten Ritzen eindringt, dauert es eben.
Du musst aber schon verstehen, dass der Chef des Organisierten Aberglaubens nicht so frei darüber sprechen kann.

Special counsel investigation includes Manafort, may expand to Sessions: report
Robert Mueller, the newly appointed special counsel in the investigation into Russian election interference, has assumed a separate criminal investigation of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and may soon expand the investigation to include Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, The Associated Press reported Friday.
