In
one story reported in [Bob Woodward's new book] Fear, defense
secretary James Mattis ignores an order from Trump to assassinate the
president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, after his regime uses chemical
weapons against civilians.
Must I remind you
what Samuel said
about the
Amalekites,
“God wants 'em
dead!”*?
Fuck “Mr.
President”!
Call me Yahweh
instead.
*Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly
destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and
woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1 Samuel
15:3, KJV
WSJ: Senior White House Officials Deny Writing Anonymous Op-Ed Piece (Paywall) Top officials including vice president and secretary of state disavow anonymous New York Times column describing internal effort to contain President Trump (with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel)
I
work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to
thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
The dilemma — which he does not
fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own
administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts
of his agenda and his worst inclinations. I would know. I am one of them.
Nothing
here, folks.
FAKE
MEDIA SCAM!
As
somebody said,
“I
am that I am.”
And
it is obvious
for
all to see
I
have my toadies complete loyalty.

Woodward
describes “an administrative coup d’etat” and a “nervous
breakdown” of the executive branch, with senior aides conspiring to
pluck official papers from the president’s desk so he couldn’t
see or sign them.
How long, O GOP?
Can you “stand by your man” forever?
A
source close to Judith said she has been in talks with at least three
publishing houses about her book, which promises to lift the lid on
the private side of President
Trump’s
prevaricating personal lawyer and the wealthy circles he operates in.
Everyone
anxious to get the first look
at
Rudy's third ex's promised new book?
Rudy's
pals call her a “detestable” gal,
claiming
“She'd cut your throat for a dollar.”
Though
fifteen years wed (some days in the same bed),
qualifies
her as a great Rudy scholar
who
sees through his guises and know the wiseguys, his
“business”
and his “known associates”
and
may shed some light which just might delight
Bob
Mueller with whom he negotiates
on
behalf of the incumbent White House resident,
who
soon if we're lucky will not be our president.
NYT: Trump Blasts Sessions for Charging G.O.P. Members Before Midterms(Paywall) Sept. 3, 2018 In a pair of tweets sent midafternoon, Mr. Trump suggested that the Justice Department should not have brought charges against two “very popular” Republican lawmakers running for re-election so close to November because it could jeopardize the party’s control of the House.
Jefferson Sessions
has a serious flaw.
Though he's my AG,
he follows the law!
The facts are so simple.
Obviously,
no one is guilty
if they support me.
And whether they
are guilty or not — I am THE PRESIDENT
and I say so what?
Protect your friends,
punish your foes.
Someone gets in your way,
they get punched in the nose.
If Jeff's unwilling
to abuse his powers,
I gotta tell 'im,
bye-bye, hit the showers.
WaPo: Trump couldn’t care less about Kavanaugh’s judicial philosophy(Paywall) . . .let’s be honest about why he was chosen — and why his choice is so popular on the right. It’s not because of his judicial philosophy, known as “originalism” — i.e., trying to discern the original meaning of the Constitution.
Originalism. Remember when the only folks voting were rich white men? Indeed! We currently are seeking ways to return once again to those glorious days. Really! The founders never intended one “man” one vote. They never pretended. Okay, okay. “Men created equal”. Until someone thought of the possible sequel: the notion absurd of meaning that word. Factually, as a matter of act, they meant only “men” exact- ly as they: white, manly, Protestant. (NOT A ONE OF 'EM GAY!) Maybe one or two Catholics from England's shores, if they weren't too Papist nor in their practice all that hyperactive. AND though they would tolerate some divergent views, they certainly would not have welcomed THE JEWS. Nor Muslims. Nor Hindus. Nor Sikhs. Nor Eastern Rite Russians. Nor Buddhists. Nor Orthodox Greeks. Nor Rastafarians. No place for Vegans. Or Vegetarians! NOW that GOD'S PEOPLE are finally winning. . . high time for US to go back to beginning. Stifle dissent, shrinking the tent, in keeping with Founding Founders intent: a country of white, Christian, gun-wielding men.
