Trump presides over an administration tainted by political, financial and legal opportunism and malfeasance, and l’affaire Ukraine offers heightened examples. But the men who stick out in the scandal had some Trump in them before joining the White House: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Why did Pompeo wait two weeks to publicly acknowledge he participated in what Trump has described as the “perfect call” to Zelensky in July?
Why did Barr’s Justice Department opt not to consider criminal charges stemming from the July phone call even though the CIA reportedly requested as much?
Why did Rick Perry ask Zelensky to ponder a slate of Americans, including a former political donor and a Houston oil executive, as advisers on energy sector reform in Ukraine?
Why won't the White House let Gordon Sondland sit for a scheduled interview today with House Dems running the impeachment inquiry?bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Barr, overlooking separation of church and state.

“Secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.”
“The campaign to destroy the traditional moral order has coincided and I believe has brought with it immense suffering and misery. And yet the forces of secularism, ignoring these tragic results, press on with even greater militancy.”

Barr decided to take on this moral challenge by joining the Trump administration and a White House overseen by the most amoral president of the modern era.

“We believe it’s important there be a loyal opposition from the conservative side in defense of the rule of law...We feel duty-bound to be able to do it. What’s at risk here is more than our country should stand.” washingtonpost.com/politics/georg…
“We have not just a political candidate open to receiving foreign assistance to better his chances at winning an election,but a current president openly and privately calling on foreign governments to actively interfere in the most sacred of US democratic processes,our elections”
“I am disgusted by the conduct of Republican senators who pose as reputable people, but shamelessly hide under rocks instead of calling out the president’s horrendous behavior as the gross misconduct that they know it to be.”

1) Contre l'avis du Pentagone et de ses services de renseignement, #Trump a pactisé avec #Erdogan et abandonne les forces démocratiques kurdes qui ont combattu l'EI pour les #EtatsUnis au nord-est de la #Syrie à 1 prochaine offensive de la #Turquie... nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/…
2) Sans surinterpréter, #Trump, de lui-même, autorise #Erdogan, grand démocrate bien connu du Proche Orient, à purger par la violence l'enclave kurde de #Syrie...et à s'emparer des combattants de l'EI que les Kurdes avaient capturés par la guerre.#àlire
3) Car dans ce message, #Trump évoque le" contribuable US" qui ne doit pas payer pour ses alliés européens à propos des prisonniers de l'EI de leur nationalité en #Syrie. Voici ce que vaut l'alliance transatlantique "historique" pour l'actuel président US…

“[W]oman..says #Trump took her virginity in 1994 when she was only 13 & being held by #Epstein as a [sex] slave”

“[L]awsuit..was dismissed over technical filing errors”

@davidpmikkelson @snopes - got more about this (see top link to @snopes article) yet?
“A judge recommended..that ‘Katie Johnson’ should have to pay her own attorneys’ fees and court costs related to the $100 million lawsuit she brought against #Trump and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey #Epstein over alleged sexual assault charges.”
snopes.com/news/2016/06/2…
So: Case dismissed on irrelevant technicality; victim threatened w/financial ruin if doesn’t let it go; ‘problem’ solved.

Le tweet de la nuit US par #Trump: l'enquête #Mueller,dont son avocat a demandé l'arrêt, n'aurait jamais dû exister en 1er lieu. Et le président de reprendre l' idée démentie même par le rapport républicain Nunes d'1 enquête basée sur le rapport de renseignement privé Steele...RT
2) Pourquoi cette nouvelle saillie nocturne de #Trump? Sans doute parce que #Mueller non content d'assigner ses documents d'affaire avec la #Russie a envoyé les questions qu'il souhaiterait poser au président...L'intrigue se resserre...thehill.com/homenews/admin…
3)#Breaking Et dès ce dimanche matin, #Trump repasse en boucle contre l'enquête #Mueller...1 cap est franchi: comme expliqué hier(cf. #thread épinglé),il tient son argument. S'il y a complot de #McCabe et #Comey contre lui, le procureur est leur complice...

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
