Trump's campaign style rally in Florida. Melania reads the Lord's Prayer, Trump makes up a terrorist attack in Sweden, and only about half the usual people show up to hear them.

And that is how this bizarre, ego stroking, campaign style event started off.

(Did you notice that Trump found some of those non-white folks to stand behind the stage?)

 Personally I when I hear Melania speak I don't think "First Lady," I think "Bond villain."

However that was not he weirdest thing about this rally.

There was also this:
Now to be clear there was NO terrorist attack in Sweden.

Just like there was never a Bowling Green Massacre.

They just make this shit up. (The New York Times identified a number of other lies during the rally as well.)

But this crowd gladly swallowed all of the bullshit whole.

It should also be noted that while 9,000 people DID show up to be directly lied to by Trump, that back in September that number was 15,000.

That is a 40% decline.

However there was nothing smaller about the crowds that showed up to protest Trump. In fact they set a record:

Hundreds of demonstrators — the largest group of progressive protesters in Brevard County in more than a decade — lined Apollo Boulevard before, during and after President Donald Trump’s rally, stretching from the AeroMod International hangar entrance to Airport Boulevard.

A loud chorus of boos erupted when Air Force One descended for landing across the street at Orlando Melbourne International Airport. 

“Lock him up! Lock him up!” hundreds of demonstrators chanted in unison shortly before Trump took the stage. 

Yeah I know, hundreds of demonstrators are a lot less than the 9,000 who showed up to hear Trump spew his bullshit.

True, but I never claimed that Melbourne, Florida was a bastion for intellectuals.

Besides one has to wonder how many of these folks were paid, or bribed, to show up?

I think the takeaway from this is that Donald Trump loved it when he was RUNNING for the presidency, but fucking hates BEING the president.

I mean just look at his face before the rally.
That does not look like a mentally stable person.

    So now he trots out St. Melania to pray? She read The Lord's Prayer amazingly well; she must have practiced for a week or so. This is supposed to make up for the exorbitant amount of money the federal government has to fork over to keep her and Barron in isolated luxury in NYC and for her past. I know that God forgives but this was almost blasphemy because we know it was purely for show and that it was orchestrated by the firm of Trump, Bannon and Conway, Inc., for southern Christianity, a rather strange US-born heresy.

    (The "sloppy" photo of Trump was actually taken on Friday, 2/17 at the Boeing visit in SC.) Trump himself DID look pretty sloppy and sweaty at the FL rally on Saturday. He didn't wear a tie - which was fine - but he just didn't look well put-together. The sweat on his upper lip reminded me of old photos of Nixon at his debate versus JFK. Trump found his own "Joe the Plumber"; he invited a rabid fan onto the stage to say a few words. (And of course, the wacky guy will make the media rounds.) Melania reading The Lord's Prayer looked and sounded like an SNL skit. She still has trouble pronouncing words, and her mini-speech was a big "nothing burger". Trump's lie about Sweden is all over the Internet today, and he stated again how much of a MESS he inherited.

    I know I've gone on and on about this, but I find it absolutely bizarre that Trump has not seen Barron in exactly a month. At first, too, it looked like Melania was staying in NY this weekend but then she showed up. Why no Barron? Tomorrow is a holiday. Why no flight to FLA from NY or to NY from there (or ever from DC)? I don't know what Barron's school's schedule is being a private school, but from what I've read, the NY public schools have a break this week. If Barron has off more than Monday, there's just no excuse for Trump not seeing his son. But I find it inexcusable if Barron has even just tomorrow off and Trump doesn't see him. I find it inexcusable that Trump hasn't spent any time with his kid on regular weekends since Barron left DC on 1/22. When the Trumps flew in for the inauguration and we saw Barron once that weekend, it was when he ran ahead of everyone down the plane's steps. He's been to DC before. Supposedly he will move there. Why no visits now and then? Fine, but why no visits to Mar-a-Lago, which is a second home to Barron? And why no going to NYC for Trump? There's already so much security in place around Trump Tower. Flying there would not require anything that they didn't do for so long before the inauguration after the election. I find it completely bizarre that a father has not made any attempt to see his son in exactly a month. And from what I've heard, Trump is making this a long weekend at M-a-L so will be there tomorrow. Why no Barron visit? And did Melania fly back to NY to be with Barron after the rally yesterday, or is she still hanging out at M-a-L?

She's almost 47 but I can see Trump becoming so desperate that he'd tell Melania she needs to have a baby to change the attitude of the country to a more positive one toward him. Her pooch is nothing out of the ordinary, but why she chooses to wear dresses that are so tight there is beyond me.

    --FBI probes Trump-Russia front companies, after Trump’s bank caught laundering Russian money

    New FBI probe into Donald Trump’s Russian financial ties comes after bank scandal

    ...That relationship never made any sense until three weeks ago, when Deutsche Bank was nailed by U.S. and European regulators for what British newspaper The Independent described as “alleged money-laundering crimes in Russia.” So was Deutsche Bank being used to funnel money from Russia to Donald Trump all this time, or was it all just one big coincidence that Trump’s favorite bank was caught funneling money from Moscow into his hometown of New York City?

    Now comes word yesterday of an FBI investigation into the connections of Donald Trump and his associates to what Reuters is characterizing as “investments by Russians in overseas entities that appear to have been undertaken through middlemen and front companies.” So here’s the billion dollar question: is this FBI investigation into Trump’s clandestine Russian financial connections based on what was exposed in the Russian money laundering probe into Deutsche Bank? More will inevitably leak out from the intel community one way or the other.

    --The new bombshell that forced James Comey and the Senate GOP to take Trump-Russia seriously

    Even the bad actors on Trump-Russia are suddenly scared straight

    ...When the weekend began, it appeared that individuals from the U.S. intelligence community would have to take Donald Trump down by themselves, leaking one piece of evidence about his Russian collusion after another until the scandal drove his approval rating so low that those who would rather protect him – including the Senate republicans and FBI Director James Comey – would finally be forced to act. But what a difference forty-eight hours can make. Now we know the FBI is officially knee deep into the Trump-Russia investigation, and a bombshell has gone off that appears to have prompted even the reticent Comey and Senate GOP to take it seriously.

    The moment that changed everything came on Friday afternoon in the Senate basement. That’s where the republicans and democrats on the Senate Intelligence Community locked themselves away with James Comey in a secure room for an urgent briefing that couldn’t wait until after recess, as Roll Call and others. When they emerged from the meeting, it became clear that whatever was disclosed and discussed, it was enough of a bombshell to put them all promptly on the same page.

    We know as much because the democrats on the Senate Intel Committee, who were in the meeting, didn’t want to talk about the meeting. Reporters accosted them afterward and asked them about it. But instead of taking their usual public stabs at Comey over his lack of progress on Trump-Russia, the democrats decided to strategically go quiet and say nothing at all. Their only possible reason for doing so is that they were finally satisfied with what they were hearing from Comey in the meeting, leaving no need for continued public posturing.

    The bombshell appears to be this subsequent leak, which surfaced the next day after the U.S. intel community fed it to Reuters, and details a previously unknown FBI investigation into front companies and middlemen that were used as financial go-betweens for Donald Trump and Russia. The details of this bombshell must have been so damning that it prompted Comey to no longer even try to stand in the way of his own agency’s impending takedown of Trump over Russia.

    And it must have been so damning that the republicans on the Senate Intel Committee immediately decided to begin taking decisive action on Trump-Russia; otherwise the democrats on the committee would still be publicly complaining. The only reason for them to go silent is if the committee – and Comey – are now doing precisely what the democrats have wanted all along.

    In fact, CNN is reporting that one Senate democrat on the committee has confirmed that the evidence and documents in the Trump-Russia investigation have now been secured so that Trump and the White House can’t destroy them.

    British Parliament To Debate Withdrawing Donald Trump’s Invite For State Visit

    London’s mayor is among those who say Trump shouldn’t get the red carpet rollout.

    British Parliament will debate on Monday whether the government should rescind its invitation to President Donald Trump for an official state visit.

    A petition to Parliament calling for the invite to be withdrawn has amassed more than 1.8 million signatures as of Sunday, far surpassing the 100,000 signatures needed to prompt a debate in Parliament.

    “He should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen,” the petition reads, citing Trump’s “well documented misogyny and vulgarity.”

    Fox News Trashes Trump As President’s Attacks On The Media Have Totally Backfired

    ...Chris Wallace was correct. Fox News and every other network have been giving all of the things that Priebus complained about full live coverage. Fox News is very sensitive to the perception that they the in-house media outlet for the Trump administration. The perception itself was created by Trump as he has constantly praised Fox News and the network’s programs.

    When a Fox program states that something that Trump is doing is worse than Obama, that’s a powerful statement.

    The danger in Trump calling everything fake news with the exceptions of Fox and Friends and Hannity is that the President is attempting to delegitimize all free press that may disagree with him whether they are liberal, conservative, or neutral.

    Donald Trump has gone so far towards authoritarianism that even a program that airs on Fox is condemning his attacks on the free press.

    Republicans Dig Up Rush Limbaugh To Insanely Blame Obama For Trump’s Failures

    Instead, of facing the reality of Trump's failures, Republicans are turning to their resident crazy uncle, Rush Limbaugh, to blame everything that has gone wrong on an Obama conspiracy.

    ...The Obama is running a shadow government conspiracy is all over right-wing media. Rush Limbaugh’s role has become to serve as the megaphone that mainstreams these conspiracies to the broader conservative audience. There is no Obama shadow government. Every new president has to deal with bureaucracies that were staffed by former presidents. It’s not some great conspiracy to undermine Trump.

    The reason why President Trump is failing is simple. He was elected to a position that he is unqualified to hold. Trump has no public sector experience. The upper levels of his administration have no government experience. Trump was reportedly shocked and frustrated that government can’t be run like a business.

    Republicans want to blame some vast Obama conspiracy because that feels better than admitting that their president is incompetent.

    Obama left office on January 20, 2017, so there are no more blame Obama excuses.

    Not even the right-wing’s crazy Uncle Rush can spin away the stench of corruption, scandal, and failure that is hanging over the Trump White House.

    Senate intel committee orders agencies to preserve all records related to Russian meddling in 2016 election

    The Senate Intelligence Committee has ordered more than a dozen individuals and agencies to preserve records related to Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections.

    According to the Associated Press, a congressional aide confirmed that the committee had sent formal requests that all materials related to Russian meddling be preserved.

    The AP notes that the letters were a bi-partisan affair with both the panel’s chairmen, Richard Burr (R-N.C.), and vice chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) signing on.

    The Friday letters come on the heels of a closed door meeting with FBI Director James Comey who spent nearly three hours answering questions Friday afternoon in a secure room in the Senate basement used for classified briefings.

    Pres. Donald Trump is coming under increasing scrutiny for his administration’s ties to Russia and reports that his campaign staff were repeatedly in contact with Russian intelligence officials during the 2016 campaign.

    There are currently three active FBI investigations involving Russia and its attempts to sway the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.

    Trump White House has secret plan to end Russian sanctions by blackmailing Ukraine president: report

    ...According to The New York Times, Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, hand-delivered the “peace plan” to the White House, which was being pushed by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign manager Paul D. Manafort. Trump business associate Felix H. Sater and Andrii V. Artemenko, a Ukrainian lawmaker, were said to have helped craft the deal.

    “A lot of people will call me a Russian agent, a U.S. agent, a C.I.A. agent,” Artemenko told the Times. “But how can you find a good solution between our countries if we do not talk?”

    The plan reportedly includes compromising “names of companies, wire transfers” that would lead to the ousting of Ukraine President Petro O. Poroshenko.

    A Back-Channel Plan for Ukraine and Russia, Courtesy of Trump Associates

    A week before Michael T. Flynn resigned as national security adviser, a sealed proposal was hand-delivered to his office, outlining a way for President Trump to lift sanctions against Russia.

    Mr. Flynn is gone, having been caught lying about his own discussion of sanctions with the Russian ambassador. But the proposal, a peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, remains, along with those pushing it: Michael D. Cohen, the president’s personal lawyer, who delivered the document; Felix H. Sater, a business associate who helped Mr. Trump scout deals in Russia; and a Ukrainian lawmaker trying to rise in a political opposition movement shaped in part by Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul D. Manafort.

    At a time when Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia, and the people connected to him, are under heightened scrutiny — with investigations by American intelligence agencies, the F.B.I. and Congress — some of his associates remain willing and eager to wade into Russia-related efforts behind the scenes.

      A Big Shoe Just Dropped

      I don't know how much attention it's received. But the appearance of the name of Felix Sater in this new article in the Times is one of the biggest shoes I've seen drop on the Trump story in some time.

      The new story explains that a group of Trump operatives, including top lawyer Michael Cohen and fired former campaign manager Paul Manafort, along with a pro-Putin Ukrainian parliamentarian named Andrii V. Artemenko and Mr. Sater are pushing President Trump on a 'peace plan' for Russia and Ukraine.

      Cohen recently met with Sater and Artemenko; and Cohen agreed to personally deliver the peace plan (actually a sealed envelope with documents detailing it) to the President when he met with him at the White House. Cohen says he left it with General Flynn days before Flynn was forced to resign.

      The backstory to all this is amazingly byzantine and murky. Let me try to cover the key points as simply as I can.

      Having spent some time studying the matter, the biggest red flags about Donald Trump's ties to Russia and businessmen around Vladimir Putin have always been tied to the Trump SoHo building project in Lower Manhattan, from the first decade of this century. I base my knowledge of this on this rather cursory but still quite good April 2016 article from the Times and my own limited snooping around the Outer Boroughs Russian and Ukrainian emigre press. (I summarized the most salient details of the earlier Times article in Item #3 of this post.) This was a key project, perhaps the key project in the post-bankruptcy era in which Trump appeared heavily reliant on Russian funds to finance his projects. Sater was at the center of that project. The details only came to light after the project got bogged down in a complicated series of lawsuits.

      After the lawyers got involved, Trump said he barely knew who Sater was. But there is voluminous evidence that Sater, a Russian emigrant, was key to channeling Russian capital to Trump for years. Sater is also a multiple felon and at least a one-time FBI informant. Bayrock Capital, where he worked was located in Trump Tower and he himself worked as a special advisor to Trump. Again, read the Times article to get a flavor of his ties to Trump, the Trump SoHo project and Russia. For my money there's no better place to start to understand the Trump/Russia issue.

    Activists troll Trump by posting ‘Impeach Bannon’ posters across the country

    With questions being raised over who exactly is wielding power inside the White House, activists are calling for the ouster of Trump chief adviser Steve Bannon with “impeachment” signs popping up around the country and directed at the former Breitbart head.

    Bannon, who stepped in and helped straighten out a faltering Trump campaign that eventually propelled businessman Donald Trump to the presidency, is considered by many to be a Svengali-type character, manipulating the newly-elected president.

    According to The Hill, signs stating, “Impeach President Bannon,” followed by the timeline list: “Reagan Bush Clinton Bush Obama Bannon” have shown up in major cities across the country — just in time for President’s Day Weekend.

    The signs have been spotted in New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

    According to organizers behind the guerilla campaign, “No one voted for Steve Bannon. Yet he is the de-facto 45th President of the United States.”

    The organizers also stated that they hoped to get a response on Twitter from the easily-riled Trump stating, “Maybe we’ll encourage an angry tweet or two. Maybe even get Trump to say his two favorite words to Bannon, ‘You’re Fired.’ ”

      “Thanks for helping us show this arrogant ‘mastermind’ that he’s not as smart as he thinks he is,” Alison Kay, one of the protest’s principal organizers, wrote. “If Bannon thinks Trump is a ‘blunt instrument’ … wait till he sees what we can do.”"

    Fox News host Chris Wallace argued on Sunday that President Donald Trump “crossed a line” when he called the media “the enemy of the American People.”

    Following Trump’s Friday attack on the news media, Wallace reminded the hosts of Fox & Friends that the country’s founders believed that a free press was a vital component to the functioning of a free and fair democracy.

    “When he said the fake news media is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American people, I believe that crosses an important line,” the Fox News host noted.

    Wallace also agreed with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who recently pointed out that shutting down a free press was “how dictators get started.”

    “It’s a check on power, and he was saying that in dictatorships, there’s state-run media and there’s no opportunity for a free independent press,” Wallace explained. “So, I think he’s exactly right there.”

    Fox News host Pete Hegseth defended Trump, opining that the president was “taking on the hidden bias” of the media.

    “When our founders were there, there were partisan press,” Hegseth declared. “Papers were Republican or Democrat or Federalist and it was open about it. [Trump] is saying, they tell you they’re unbiased, but I know they’re biased because I see the fake news. It’s not about the independence of the press, it’s about the bias of the press.”

    “If he had said that, you wouldn’t have heard a peep out of me,” Wallace replied. “Lord knows, Barack Obama criticized Fox News. If Donald Trump wants to criticize The New York Times, that’s fine. But it’s different from saying we are an enemy of the American people. That’s a different thing.”

    Trump Gives Press Credentials To A Racist Blog That LITERALLY Publishes Fake News

    Gateway Pundit is a popular publication among white supremacists, which means it will fit right in with the Trump administration. The New York Times reports that The Donald has seen fit to grant the far-right website’s Washington correspondent, Lucian B. Wintrich, press credentials, allowing him to attend White House press briefings and ask Sean Spicer questions.

    ...Hoft and his cronies may be liars, but they have been staunchly pro-fascism as long as they have existed and they love him, so let them in! It’s not like they’re those “fake news” purveyors at CNN, after all.

    Trump has as of late been favoring “friendly” news sources, and it is likely that he will continue to do so — especially when he is filling the press pen with people who are willing to lie for him.

    Senator John McCain gets real with Chuck Todd

    "I was talking about the period as you know, the new world order," McCain said. "A part of that new world order was a free press. I hate the press. I hate you especially. But the fact is, we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It's vital. If you want to preserve -- I am very serious now -- If you want to preserve democracies as we know it, you need to have a free and many times an adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

    "That's how dictators get started?" Chuck Todd asked. "With tweets like that?"

    "No, it get's started by suppressing the free press," McCain responded. "In other words, a consolidation of power when you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. I am not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. I am just saying we need to learn the lessons of history."

    Yes, McCain, you are saying Donald Trump has dictatorship proclivities.

    Since early last year, Snowden has quietly served as president of a small San Francisco–based nonprofit called the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Its mission: to equip the media to do its job at a time when state-­sponsored hackers and government surveillance threaten investigative reporting in ways Woodward and Bernstein never imagined. “Newsrooms don’t have the bud­get, the sophistication, or the skills to defend them­selves in the current environment,” says Snowden, who spoke to WIRED via encrypted video-chat from his home in Moscow. “We’re trying to provide a few niche tools to make the game a little more fair.”

    The group’s 10 staffers and a handful of contract coders, with Snowden’s remote guidance, are working to develop an armory of security upgrades for reporters. Snowden and renowned hacker Bunnie Huang have partnered to develop a hardware modification for the iPhone, designed to detect if malware on the device is secretly transmitting a reporter’s data, including location. They’re developing a piece of software called Sunder that uses code written by Frederic Jacobs, one of the programmers for the popular encryption app Signal1; Sunder would allow journalists to encrypt a trove of secrets and then retrieve them only if several newsroom colleagues combine their passwords to access the data. And the foundation’s coders are building a plug-and-play version of Jitsi, the encrypted video-chat software Snowden himself uses for daily communication. They want newsrooms to be able to install it on their own servers with a few clicks. “The idea is to make this all paint-by-numbers instead of teaching yourself to be Picasso,” Snowden says.

    2. If Snowden thinks this is going to redeem his name and reputation or get him out of the consequences of his actions, he's sorely mistaken.

      He's a traitor and will be treated as one should he ever step foot in the U.S. or any country with which we have extradition.

    We’ve seen the pattern repeat itself so many times, it’s grown tiresome: Trump becomes unhinged; Republicans pretend they didn’t see it, or say they won’t comment on every offhanded Trump comment, or just chuckle about his “unconventional” presidency; and everyone moves on.

    Their ostrich-like reflexes have been a running joke in politics for months now. But in this case, a great deal of reporting indicates Republicans awoke to the frightening implications of letting an unstable man have free reign over the government, yet remained committed to the course they’ve chosen nevertheless:

    ...Less than a month into his first term, Trump resembles Nixon at his most besieged—angry, flailing, driven to distraction. But unlike Nixon, Trump enjoys the complicity of nearly his entire party. Unless that relationship breaks down, it will be impossible to contain the fallout of Trump’s presidency until January 2019 at the earliest. By then, the damage might be irreparable.

    Trump and the Republicans Are Redefining “Religious Freedom” to Favor Christians

    They want to turn religious belief into a license to discriminate, and to tear down the wall separating church and state.

    The Impeachment Of Hillary Clinton

    Republicans have reversed their views on Russia for Hillary Clinton.

    Satire.

      Wouldn't Hillary Clinton have to be president to be impeached? Can you impeach a former first lady, a former senator or a former secretary of state? Just typing that makes me almost weep for what could have happened. We could and should have a president in office who understands how the federal government works and who understands what the Constitution means.

    Trump Uses 80-Year-Old Playbook to Discredit the Media

    The agitated man accused the press of lying. He pointed out that reports claiming that the administration wanted to keep its people uninformed were incorrect and came from a “small group of intellectuals and professional naysayers.” The purpose of these false stories was to drive a wedge between the people and their leader. Furthermore, the man ranted, if one were to believe what the press wrote, it would appear that another world war was imminent. Nothing could be further from the truth, he added.

    That man was German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and the date was February 25, 1939. World War II began just over six months later.

    Somebody was clearly lying back then, but it wasn’t the “Lügenpresse” (lying press) that Goebbels was referring to. Fast forward to today and the term is being used again — this time by the alt-right, i.e., the ideological descendants of the guy Goebbels worked for.

    Make no mistake, the German propaganda chief saying Lügenpresse (he was referring to US, French and British news outlets) and President Donald Trump calling the media “fake news” has the same purpose — to discredit one of the institutions that stands between them and unchecked power.

  49. Who says there were even 9,000 there? The Trump campaign? Well, then there were maybe 1500-3000.

    Sweden is having great fun at Trump's expense.

    "Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom appeared to respond to Trump's statement about her country on Saturday by posting on Twitter an excerpt of a recent speech in which she said democracy and diplomacy "require us to respect science, facts and the media."

    Her predecessor was less circumspect.

    "Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound," former Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt wrote on Twitter.

    Other Swedes mocked Trump's remark on Twitter using the hashtag #LastNightInSweden, posting pictures of reindeer, Swedish meatballs and people assembling the country's famous IKEA furniture.

    "#lastnightinsweden my son dropped his hotdog in the campfire. So sad!" Twitter user Adam Bergsveen wrote."

    What an amazing First Lady! Driving the liberals right out of their freaking minds with reciting The Lords Prayer. Telling the people that she will continue to be herself and true to the America in spite of what the opposition says about her...especially on blogs like this.

    Best First Lady EVER! Congratulations President Trump. You have chosen well. A welcome change for America and a president we can FINALLY be proud of. Keep up the GREAT work.
