In an interview with Time magazine, published on Thursday, Mr. Drumpf veers from topic to topic, praising himself and dismissing his critics in language that sometimes is hard to follow.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/23/us/politics/what-trumps-time-interview-shows-about-his-thinking.html<br /><br />Birth of the Biggest Lie<br /><br />A few things are clear after the congressional testimony of James Comey, the F.B.I. director, this week:<br /><br />First, Donald Drumpf owes Barack Obama and the American people an apology for his vituperative lie that Obama committed a felony by wiretapping Drumpf Tower. It was specious, libelous and reckless, regardless of the weak revelations of “incidental collection” that the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and Drumpf transition team member Devin Nunes outrageously made public, briefing the president without first briefing his fellow committee members. Nunes’s announcement was a bombshell with no bomb, just enough mud in the water to obscure the blood in the water for those too willfully blind to discern the difference.<br /><br />Second, Donald Drumpf will never apologize. Drumpf’s strategy for dealing with being caught in a lie is often to tell a bigger lie. He seems constitutionally incapable of registering what others would: shame, embarrassment, contrition. Something is broken in the man — definitely morally and possibly psychologically.<br /><br />Third, and to me this is the biggest, Comey confirmed that the investigation into the Drumpf campaign’s ties to the Russians who tampered with our election is not “fake news” manufactured by Democrats stewing over a bitter loss but a legitimate investigation that has been underway for months and has no end in sight.<br /><br />Individuals who were associated with the president of the United States’ winning campaign are under criminal investigation. That is an extraordinary sentence and one that no American can allow to be swallowed up by other news or dismissed by ideologues.<br /><br />Continue reading the main story<br /><br />Charles M.

Oddly, it is likely that the reason Drumpf is even in the Oval Office is Comey’s original, extraordinarily inappropriate and unprecedented action. The Drumpf machinery then used that action to scare Americans about Clinton, in one of the most astonishing acts of deflection and hypocrisy in American history.<br /><br />The timeline of how the lie of Clinton’s constitutional crisis was born and grew is full of Machiavellian-level misdirections.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/23/opinion/birth-of-the-biggest-lie.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-12694870063067943192017-03-23T21:43:19.966-08:002017-03-23T21:43:19.966-08:00Drumpf the Dealmaker Projects Bravado, but Behind ...Drumpf the Dealmaker Projects Bravado, but Behind the Scenes, Faces Rare Self-Doubt<br /><br />President Drumpf, the author of “The Art of the Deal,” has been projecting his usual bravado in public this week about the prospects of repealing the Affordable Care Act.

It was a particularly brazen assassination that recalled the post-Soviet gangland violence of the 1990s.

But it reflected the White House’s clear desire to jettison America’s traditional role as the champion of the downtrodden and embrace that of a military powerhouse to be feared.<br /><br />The White House budget office informed State Department officials this week that the administration plans to eliminate all U.S. funding to the $326 million International Organizations and Programs account, which provides more than $130 million to UNICEF — a sizable chunk of the more than $500 million the United States contributed to the U.N. agency in 2016 — and around $70 million to the U.N. Development Programme.<br /><br />They were also told to brace for a 40 percent cut to the State Department’s U.N. peacekeeping budget. The United States contributed more than $2 billion to the U.N.’s $8 billion-plus peacekeeping budget last year."mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-29095156292432137332017-03-23T19:31:42.694-08:002017-03-23T19:31:42.694-08:00We can not accept this as the norm.
