Richard Painter .@RWPUSA is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.

.@RWPUSA and I discuss how Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, the emoluments clause lawsuits against Trump and his cabal, and why he made the decision to run for Senate as a Democrat, leavingt behind a broken and dangerous Republican Party.
On this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, I share my thoughts on if protests in the age of Trump and this neoliberal nightmare are a waste of time. I also share a story about Christian fascists whose church is next door to one of Trump's prisons for babies.

Donald Trump is America's Racist-in-Chief. He is literally fulfilling a white supremacist wish list. Trump's most recent gift? Tweeting about "white genocide" in South Africa. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/24/tru…
Trump's White House is a den and cabal of white racism with white supremacist and "white nationalist" believers and sympathizers such as Stephen Miller, Michael Anton and Steve Bannon and others writing the speeches and making racist policy.
As Mueller's investigation tightens around Trump and his corrupt administration he will only increase his white racist white supremacist appeals. It will likely not be too long before Trump is chanting white supremacist slogans such as "anti-racism is anti-white".

Donald Trump's White House is a den and hive of racists and others who are aligned with or sympathetic to so-called "white nationalists". Speech writer Darren Beattie is but one such example. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/22/don…
Stephen Miller, Michael Anton, Steve Bannon, Jeff Session, and yes the king of the cabal, Donald Trump have shown through their actions, words, and policies that they are racists in league with and doing the work of a much larger white supremacist ideology and movement.
And it should be no surprise then that Trump's chief economic adviser is longtime friends with Peter Brimelow, a prominent and open white supremacist.

Will there be violence between Republicans and Democrats in Trump's broken America? Political parties are increasingly like sports teams. The Trumpists and other Republicans are soccer hooligans. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/20/sch…
Political scientist Liliana Mason's research suggests this is a distinct possibility. Her work also shows that yes there is hyper polarization but Republicans are much more hostile to the groups that comprise the Democratic Party than the other way around.
Republicans are extremely cold and hostile towards nonwhites, gays and lesbians, women, and other groups who they identity as part of the Democratic Party. Democrats have much less hostility towards white men, "Christians", rural Americans and the like.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

💧Deluge💧

Big Picture TOC:

‘The whole mess of RU hacking, CA, the Trump & Leave Campaigns was not only a coup but an unprecedented shorting of the market through mass manipulation of the electorate w/ the aim of controlling not only geopolitics but the financial markets too’
💧Deluge2💧

Mueller’s RU probe will reach a “wild” level over the next couple of months, said Mark Warner

Court docs allegeTrump SoHo condominiums in the building were purchased using funds linked to a massive fraud case in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
💧Deluge3💧

Mueller nabs E. Prince's phones, computer & is said to be cooperating.

What does the British gov’t know about 45 & RU? Quite a lot, actually!

For the UK the choice over whether to back Mueller & the rule of law or the thug Putin & TOC, the choice is a no brainer.
