"And over the weekend, State and Energy Department
officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50
tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under
American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from
the Syrian border, according to two American officials.
Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially
Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de
facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though,
is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been
eliminated years ago.
“I think this is a first — a country with U.S. nuclear weapons
stationed in it literally firing artillery at US forces,” Jeffrey Lewis
of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies wrote last week."
My Comment: Drumpf is going to get us all
killed or held hostage to 50 gd American nuclear weapons held in Turkey. Drumpf
the blowhard talks smack about how he is going to rain down stiff
sanctions on Turkey for their blasting away our former ally and helper
in defeating ISIS. I will believe those sanctions when I see them. In the meantime a nation with American nukes is shooting at US forces. What could possibly go wrong? All this to appease Drumpf's buddy Putin and to appease his other authoritarian friend Erdogan so Turkey can finally annihilate their perpetual perceived enemy US ally the Kurds and gain a foothold in Syria. War crimes are being committed as I write this and Trump is the useful idiot helping Tyrants! If Drumpf were not the so called president he would be in jail!

If this does not convince you of this crackpot president's threat I do not know what will--The ISIS of this nation
"A graphic video -- story linked below omitting the horrific video featuring a fake President Donald Trump stabbing members
of the news media and lighting the head of a political rival on fire
was played at a conference for his supporters this weekend, according to
a report Sunday by The New York Times."
This is utterly disgusting. He has been
called upon to denounce it but has not so far and others in his
entourage have not either. What is this jerk president made of? What
toxic DNA flows through his body? The video is unconscionable and should
be denounced in the most adamant and vociferous way.
This
will encourage the right wing toward violence as if they needed any
more encouragement. If this does not convince you of this crackpot
president's threat to us I do not know what will.

U.S. Takes Custody of British ISIS Detainees Who Abused Hostages The military took the two men out of a wartime prison in Syria run by a Kurdish-led militia as Turkey invaded the region--MY COMMENT
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/ 10/09/us/politics/beatles- isis-us-custody.html?emc=edit_ na_20191009&ref=headline&nl= breaking-news?campaign_id=60& instance_id=0&segment_id= 17729&user_id= 85a8ac1c6f518c011d82f4864472cc 9b®i_id=75028030ing-news
Either IMPEACH and convict this gd moron or vote blue and save the world. This jackass has NO idea what he is doing!
MY COMMENT: So the Beast Drumpf was asked
by an American journalist what will happen to the ISIS prisoners about
12,000 in number held in prison by the Kurds when the Americans leave Syria. He answers nonchalantly "they'll probably go to Europe" like it
was no big deal. Really you idiot they will just probably go to Europe?
What and kill more people in Britain, France and elsewhere not to
mention the US if they get here?
For that alone he should be impeached.
That's working against our allies for damn sake. Maybe he should make
sure they get to Russia to his good buddy the tyrant Putin maybe that will get his
gd attention.

White House Refuses To Cooperate With Impeachment Inquiry; Constitutional Crisis Looms--TRUMP VEERS INTO TYRANNY
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/white-house-accuses-democrats-impeachment-overturn-election_n_5d9cfd31e4b02c9da0406582?fbclid=IwAR1yPl5comWg5IjB3A_zky05g-EUxdLlwSshN9QhPLdTVDLiU3kONkGPMRw
Moreover because of this Beast's rancid foreign policy adventure leaving our allies the Kurds to encounter a possible genocide as Turkish and Russian troops are lined up to cross the border. This is the worst foreign policy mistake in the history of this nation. Worse thousands of ISIS troops are emerging out of prisons. This could get him impeached as the Republicans are loathe to this betrayal of the Kurds who lost thousands helping the US.
Turkish invasion of Syria would be 'godsend' for ISIS, experts warn
"We
have more work to do to keep ISIS from coming back," the spokesperson
for the Kurdish-led forces said. "If America leaves, all will be
erased."

Chaos in Syria, Washington after Trump call with Erdogan unleashed Turkish military
What a MESS! As long as the
Beast has one, ooops he said two towers, in Turkey he goes along with a
Turkish Erdogan (a strongman of course) policy to order a pull out of
American troops -- allies of the Kurds
who defeated with the US ISIS. Now ISIS thinks it died and went to
heaven
as it will have a second chance to regroup and annihilate the Kurds and
even strike the US as ground troops are strewn all over the Middle
East. An
impending genocide of the Kurds is at hand. Even Syria and Russia were
surprised by the impulsive action, a hallmark of a Drumpf presidency.
It seems Erodogan had his little feelings hurt not having a one on one
with Drumpf in New York. Trump was trying to get Erodogan off the phone
thus promising a Syria pull out and abandoning a Kurd ally. Sure
understandable one wants to get a pain in the neck off the phone so you
give them a reward -- a potential genocide! Is he 15 years old or 74?
Even the Republicans are cracking. We'll see for how long.
The
US is now perceived as an unreliable
ally. Another ugly Drumpf feature. He cares only about himself!
Drumpf does not care about a friend which is why he can walk away from
the Kurds, who spent blood (10,000 dead) with the US to defeat ISIS. He
is concerned as much as if he were
endangering fleas. He cares NOTHING for a friend or anyone else except
he does care about his gd money, his Trump tower Istanbul. UGLY, UGLY
UGLY man.
He needs to be impeached, convicted, then prosecuted as a civilian and jailed!
Suggested Reading
Larry O'Donnell's interview of James Stewart was excellent. Suggested
reading: James Stewart's "Deep State" on my list after Rachel Maddow's
"Blowout." I wish I had two pairs of eyes to read such great material
on the unstable genius Trump. His presidency if you want to call it
that, is the shame of our nation!

Theater of the Absurd
It is the height of absurdity for Trump and his minions to want an
investigation into what they say is the larger so called "deep state"
scandal of Ukraine interference in the US 2016 election rather than
Russia. Now I ask you Ukraine is a small nation compared to Russia and,
moreover, is defending itself in a hot war against Russian invasion after
Russia took Crimea by force. It is in Russia's prime interest to shake
the accusation off of it for its interference
in the 2016 US election for their electoral preference of Donald Trump
and place it on a sham wholly disputed accusation that Ukraine did it.
This is reductio ad absurdum.
Ukrainian interference in the US 2016 election has been roundly
debunked and dismissed by Mueller himself coming to the absolute truth
conclusion that Russia used its massive tentacles and technological
expertise to do so. It is theater of the absurd to point an accusatory
finger at Ukraine. The head of Ukraine, Zelensky, must tread carefully
with Trump because Ukraine depends upon the US to protect its national
security with US weapons to the tune of 250 million dollars of support
that Trump had held up in order to put force on Ukraine to do his
bidding and investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. THAT is the
height of a Constitutional violation which Trump took an oath to
support. That is the rope Trump has used to hang himself and others
loyal to him by asking in a short memo for a foreign nation to do his
bidding against his main electoral opponent, Joe Biden.
How would tiny by comparison Ukraine have the ability to perform the massive 2016 election interference the Mueller evidence of which showed Russia clearly performed? Russia not only had the motive but the ability to use their complex KGB-like intelligence and technology to commit the 2016 election interference that Mueller unequivocally said they did. Trump, as in Beckett's theater of the absurd will have to be waiting for Godot to arrive to prove his lie only to find out Godot never will appear.

Properly had
This ugly man Trump is throwing this
nation under the bus taking dozens perhaps hundreds of formerly innocent people
with him. Some trusted him, some even loved him and this is what this
Beast gave them -- subpoenas, maybe criminal prosecutions, and the need
to hire attorneys for what? For working for and not recognizing a Mafia
like conman who lies all the time and cares NOTHING for anyone but himself.
Enjoy yourselves, as Sherlock Holmes once said: you've been had properly had!
Salient Points and my opinion in italics and bracketed
have tried to copy
and paste what I think are the most salient parts of the Whistle Blower
Complaint. I think it easier to understand if it is written.
My
opinion: Lost in the retelling of the Whistle Blower Complaint is my
opinion that the real effort of Trump is to change Ukraine back to right
wing leadership that would be favorable not only to Trump but to most
importantly Putin taking the onus of Russian interference in the US 2016
election, proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and placing it on so called
by Trump Ukrainian corruption which is a lie and has since been
disproven. The former Ukrainian Russia friendly corrupt leadership in
Ukraine is now hold up in Russia as he was removed from Ukraine. Russia
has taken part of Ukraine -- Crimea -- and Ukraine is now fighting a
hot war on that border with Russia. Ukrainians generally loathe Russian
aggression. Putin's desire, of course, is to return the entire Baltic
region to Russian control lost during Glasnost and the fall of the
former Soviet Union. Putin is aiming at Kiev to take all of Ukraine.
The question becomes and always has been in my opinion WHY OH WHY IS
TRUMP SO DEDICATED TO ADVANCING RUSSIAN AUTHORITARIAN INTERESTS AND
TURNING HIS BACK ON THE DEMOCRACIES? Once we find this out all other
dominoes to me would fall into place. The accusation of Biden's
interference has been disproven and is now a conspiratorial lie
promulgated by none other than the professional liar Trump! It helps Putin!
Phone call of July 25 and beginning of the whistle blower Complaint
initiate or continue an investigation into the activities of former Vice President Joseph Biden and his son, Hunter Biden;
assist in purportedly uncovering that allegations of Russian
interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election originated in
Ukraine, with a specific request that the Ukrainian leader locate and
turn over servers used by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and
examined by the U.S. cyber security firm Crowdstrike, which initially
reported that Russian hackers had penetrated the DNC's networks in 2016;
and
meet or speak with two people the President named explicitly as his
personal envoys on these matters, Mr. Giuliani and Attorney General
Barr, to whom the President referred multiple times in tandem.
COVER UP and FOOTNOTES: Relegating certain information to be
held as "Classified" which should not remain classified but is in order
to cover up certain actions by Trump or his minions. "I also believe
that applying a classification marking to this
information would violate EO 13526, Part 1, Section 1.7, which states:
"In no case shall information be classified, continue to be maintained
as classified, or fail to be declassified in order to: (I) conceal
violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error; [or] (2)
prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency."
It is unclear whether such a Ukrainian investigation exists. See Footnote #7 for additional information.
"I do not know why the President associates these servers with Ukraine.
(See, for example, his comments to Fox News on 20 July: "And Ukraine.
Take a look at Ukraine. How come the FBI didn't take this server?
Podesta told them to get out. He said, get out. So, how come the FBI
didn't take the server from the DNC?")
The President also praised Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Mr. Yuriy
Lutsenko, and suggested that Mr. Zelenskyy might want to keep him in his
position. (Note: Starting in March 2019, Mr. Lutsenko made a series of
public allegations—many of which he later walked back—about the Biden
family's activities in Ukraine, Ukrainian officials' purported
involvement in the 2016 U.S. election, and the activities of the U.S.
Embassy in Kyiv. See Part IV for additional context.) [My note: The
entities Trump praises are among the right wing corrupt and have since
been voted out of office or removed. Zilenskyy a seemingly honest
president, is supposed to clean things up. THERE WAS NO UKRAINIAN
INVOLVEMENT IN THE US 2016 ELECTION. THAT WAS RESERVED FOR RUSSIA
PROVEN BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT]
They told me that there was already a "discussion ongoing" with White
House lawyers about how to treat the call because of the likelihood, in
the officials' retelling, that they had witnessed the President abuse
his office for personal gain.
The Ukrainian side was the first to publicly acknowledge the phone call.
"Donald Trump expressed his conviction that the new Ukrainian government will be able to quickly improve Ukraine's image [i.e. with Trump and Putin] and complete the investigation of corruption cases that have held back cooperation between Ukraine and the United States." [lie with much needed by Ukraine to fight Russians 240 million dollars of US military equipment held back]
In addition to White House personnel, I was told that a State Department
official, Mr. T. Ulrich Brechbuhl, also listened in on the call.
Based on my understanding, multiple State Department and
Intelligence Community officials were also briefed on the contents of
the call as outlined above.
COVERUP:
In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple U.S.
officials that senior White House officials had intervened to "lock
down" all records of the phone call, especially the official
word-for-word transcript of the call that was produced—as is
customary—by the White House Situation Room. This set of actions
underscored to me that White House officials understood the gravity of
what had transpired in the call.
• White House officials told me that they were "directed" by White-House lawyers to remove the electronic transcript from the computer system in which such transcripts are typically stored for coordination, finalization, and distribution to Cabinet-level officials.
• White House officials told me that they were "directed" by White-House lawyers to remove the electronic transcript from the computer system in which such transcripts are typically stored for coordination, finalization, and distribution to Cabinet-level officials.

A BRILLIANT INTERVIEW
If you haven't seen Rachel Maddow tonight watch at a later time or go to
MSNBC and try to get her show tonight 9/23. She has many revelations
that will leave you aghast especially an interview she conducted with
Rep. Elaine Luria from Virginia an eloquent soft spoken woman, a physicist and a
Navy veteran working in many countries including war zones with nuclear
weaponized ships. She is BRILLIANT and it was a brilliant interview testament to the seriousness of Trump's actions which rise to a new
level of the necessity of impeachment.
She has an op ed in the
Washington Post along with other members of Congress supporting
impeachment. Trump has violated his oath of office numerous times swearing an oath to support the Constitution protecting the country from all threats both foreign and domestic. We are in a new era where the survival and security of the
nation and all of us are at risk. It is serious!

Senator Dianne Feinstein laying the groundwork to sue DOJ for release of the whistleblower report
Impeaching Donald Trump cannot be done fast enough
for me. At the risk of labeling Democrats feckless and weak it is a
MUST to salvage any remaining respect Democrats have lost by their failure
to act fast, vociferously and certain on this issue.
If there has ever been a time
to impeach -- and I might add convict -- a president for the flagrant
abuse of
power and obstruction of justice the time is now lest our three
branches of government the Founders, in their wisdom, created each a
check on the other disintegrate into thin air. I always knew that this
republic stands precariously solely through the consent of the
governed. My fear is the proof of Trump's guilt is so voluminous, so
vast and so complex that the electorate tunes out to the very important
foundational principles it should uphold.
How
many more
illegalities must Trump commit for Congress to do what needs to be
done. Impeachment is the only constitutional remedy short of an
election loss to exact this sickening
pound of flesh? Trump says he can shoot a person on Fifth Avenue and
get away with it. Let us see that he does not!

Whistle Blower Call and email to Speaker Nancy Pelosi
I called and emailed Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and told her that the Democratic Party MUST in view of this
whistle blower accusation, if true, begin impeachment proceedings
IMMEDIATELY. I was vociferous that Democrats cannot appear to be
weak.
I said, Trump should not have the privilege of keeping this Whistle
Blower complaint from the Congress receiving it as required by law. It
is an abuse of power against a co-equal branch of government to keep
Congress from seeing the Complaint. It is Congress's duty by law to see
the Whistle Blower Complaint and it is also incumbent upon them to
keep the name of the Whistle Blower confidential to ensure his/her
safety.
If
this egregious even treasonous alleged extortion act by Trump delivered
by phone to a foreign power Ukraine trading $240 million dollars in
military aid for dirt on Joe Biden's son to help Trump's campaign, if
true, is not grounds for impeachment and even conviction by the Senate
then nothing is.
The Whistle Blower Complaint should be given to Congress post haste.
Here
are her contacts if you so choose to voice your opinion. I suggest you
do. Nothing but the life of the Republic is at stake
Phone Number: (202) 225-4965

It's Warren
Just made my choice it's
Warren for the brilliant person she is. My God let's not choose
mediocrity which seems to the American way. Mediocre intellect Bush,
and corrupt as all hell disgustingly moronic is Drumpf. Holy God we can
surely in a nation of 350 million do better than that.
I like Biden
and if he is the choice or anyone else with a "D" after their name they
will get my vote. If, however, I could magically create the next
president it would be Elizabeth Warren. There is NOTHING mediocre about her.
Biden is, in my opinion, too old and not sharp on the come back. Sanders
is too old and too gruff. I want someone SMART and tough but gentle at
the same time. Warren is it!! 

Emmett Till’s Memorial Sign Shot Up again 35 days after being replaced -- DESPICABLE
As long as he can get their vote Trump capitalizes on hate by
welcoming the haters into his ranks, refusing to call the extremist
right out for what it is and always has been a vessel for hate. Yes,
it's always been there but it never has achieved the legitimacy that
Trump has accorded it. As long as the haters support Trump, and they
do, he will not speak out against it vociferously and condemn it with
passion. No he will say there are good people on both sides of the
political equation. No, a Klu Klux Klanner, an American Nazi and many
in the Republican Party today through his acceptance are
NOT good people! Hate courses through their veins and they will use it.

Rollback of clean water protections
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/ 09/12/climate/trump- administration-to-finalize-r
If
this does not make your mind explode than nothing will. See link above. Are we
creatures with a brain, do we not have children and grandchildren, do we
have human beings that we love? What kind of nation is this that
cowers to corporate interests while not giving a rat's petuti about the
people who will sicken and die from the pollution effects of these roll
back regulations.
One need only look at Flint, Michigan to see what
polluted water will do and how torturous the deaths are
including an abundance of Legionnaires' disease from tainted water.
This is utterly horrible beyond comprehension and hazardous to all of
our health!
Call
your congress persons and scream bloody murder because this is in fact
murder! Send this to anyone you choose. Vote blue up and down the
ticket to save your life and the life of the democratic republic that is
at least for now our nation!
See Frontiline's "Flint's Deadly Water."
My letter to Nancy Pelosi
Speaker Pelosi. The amount of egregiously flouting law and undermining our Constitution by this president knows no end. The sheer volume of law breaking criminality of Trump is jaw dropping. Please do not do what Democrats seem destined to do and that is snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The overabundant rationales for the impeachment of this presidential menace are staggering. I implore you to get behind those legislators in the Democratic party who are for impeachment and with precision and haste steer them to the road of drafting Articles of Impeachment. To do anything less would be to turn one's back on the Founders who gave us a roadmap to prevent an authoritarian mad man like Trump from using the powerful office of the presidency to attain unlimited power and wealth at taxpayer's expense subverting from within the Republic they created.

"Trump Claims Those Fleeing Bahamas Could Be 'Very Bad People'"
Each
day is a new outrage or new outrages. All those human beings left with
nothing from Hurricane Dorian and he wants to keep them from coming
here without scrupulous checks on their so called "criminal" status
because some fleeing he says "could be very bad people." What about
Trump's criminal status? Should we not check on that? He says he does
not want to keep them out because they are from the Bahamas and might be
"criminals" our supremely racist squatter in the White House meant to
say he wants to keep them out because they are black.
Trump
who is so corrupt the CIA does not even trust a Moscow asset living
here who could be compromised by Trump, the Putin lover, himself. The
CIA fears for our spy's life. See "The Case of the Moscow Asset." https://www.huffpost.com/ entry/cia-russia-informant- putin-extracted_n_ 5d76f3b5e4b0fde50c2bbc9b
Chilling.
If this does not confirm alleged treason or CIA fears of it for good
reason committed by Trump then I do not know what does. He must be
thrown out of the White House either through impeachment or electorally
because he is a very bad person!
IMPEACHMENT NOW!
VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE TICKET!
