Russian lawmakers vowed Friday to adopt legislation targeting American media outlets in response to the US Justice Department forcing RT, the English-language Russia television channel, to register as a foreign agent.
Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of Russia’s State Duma, said Russian legislators will amend a law related to foreign agents to include foreign media. Volodin, a former Putin aide, said the Duma could adopt the new legislation as soon as next week, according to news reports. “Since such decisions are being made in the United States in relation to our television companies, it is right for us to respond to these actions,” Volodin said, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The measure would initially target CNN, Voice of America, and Radio Liberty,” said Senator Alexei Pushkov, who chairs the upper house of parliament’s media policy committee. Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, indicated the law could also target Moscow-based correspondents from newspapers including the New York Times and the Washington Post.
RT, formerly Russia Today, said Thursday in a statement posted on its website that the DOJ threatened to freeze its bank accounts and arrest its top US executive if it fails to register by Monday under Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a law that requires representatives of foreign governments to disclose information, such as employees’ contacts with government officials and political donations, in publicly available filings to the department.
Gee what is Russia going to do, start having their highly placed double agent start publicly referring to reporting by American news outlets as "fake news?"
Oh, wait.
You know when Comrade Trump returns to the US of R (United States of Russia) he is going to be pissed at Jeff Sessions for harassing his people.

Did Trump and Duterte discuss human rights? Depends on who you ask
ReplyDeleteLOL THIS SAME SHIT HAPPENS WITH PUTIN AND TRUMP
CNN:
White House says Trump, Duterte 'briefly' discussed human rights but Philippine spokesman says they didn't
(CNN)President Donald Trump and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who lavished pleasantries on each other during public appearances in Manila Monday, "briefly" discussed human rights and the Philippine's bloody war on drugs during their closed-door conversation, the White House said.
But a spokesman for the controversial Philippine President told reporters that "human rights did not arise" during the meeting
White House says Trump, Duterte 'briefly' discussed human rights but Philippine spokesman says they didn't....

"briefly" goes like this:

Duterte: "No."
Trump: "Okay."

DeleteFB"Calling the GOP today the "Party of Lincoln" is a bit like calling ketchup a vegetable.
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln was a deep reader and thinker. He wrestled in his mind and with his pen about the grave injustices at that heart of the American enterprise. He understood the dangers of tribalism, identity politics, and the threat of disunion. He respected reasoned arguments. He was careful and temperate in his words and deeds. He sought out dissent and valued when others challenged his own preconceptions. I would argue that none of these traits are on wide display with much of the current national leadership of the current Republican Party.
It does not bring any joy to say this. And I think there are deficiencies along these lines with many Democratic leaders as well. In this frantic environment, I see citizens being stirred to follow the herd of their own political identity at the disservice to the nation at large. Meanwhile the bigotries and small mindedness that have plagued our national story from the beginning are being stoked and prodded for cynical political gain.
Near the end of my new book What Unites Us, I reach back to Lincoln for some perspective on our current state of affairs.
"On March 4, 1865, with the bloody Civil War almost over, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in for his second term as president. His eyes were on the hard work of peace that would follow. "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations." Lincoln understood that the United States had to be a land of compassion and empathy, but a lasting peace had to be a just one. A little over a month after he gave that stirring speech, he would be dead and the work of which he spoke far from finished. It always will be."
This is the time in which we find ourselves today, one where the work that stretches back to Lincoln is not only far from finished but we seem to be sliding backwards along the path of justice. And yet I remain optimistic that despite the dark clouds of the present we can continue to make progress. I believe in the basic decency of the American people. I think it was reflected in the recent elections. I have seen it on this Facebook page. I am seeing it from all of you who I am meeting on the the book tour and with the response from those who have read WHAT UNITES US. My goal was always to create a conversation worthy of our nation. And I think, thanks to all of you and countless others, we have begun.
I am off to Miami, Nashville, Dallas, and onward for the tour. Hope to see some of you along the trail. And I thank you humbly for your support and encouragement."

Though Trump Jr. did not respond, the report notes, he did release the emails himself 15 minutes after WikiLeaks sent him their July 11 message""

" the third reason, though, WikiLeaks wrote, THAT “is the real kicker.” “If we publish them it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality,” WikiLeaks explained. “THAT means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing on Clinton will have much higher impact, because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source.”"rump Jr. mostly ignored the frequent messages from WikiLeaks, he at times appears to have acted on its requests. When WikiLeaks first reached out to Trump Jr. about putintrump.org, for instance, Trump Jr. followed up on his promise to “ask around.” According to a source familiar with the congressional investigations into Russian interference with the 2016 campaign, who requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, on the same day that Trump Jr. received the first message from WikiLeaks, he emailed other senior officials with the Trump campaign, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Brad Parscale, and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, telling them WikiLeaks had made contact. Kushner then forwarded the email to campaign communications staffer Hope Hicks." {MOA'T'}
