1) This guy is dumb. Like, REALLY dumb. Like, "It's ok to lie because winning is more important and Trump is helpless without us" dumb.
2) Did you see what's happening in Saudi Arabia? Corruption sweep, many of the princes use the Podesta Group to corrupt US politics.
3) Now the Crown Prince who engineered that is about to be king. Trump made sure to be best friends with him, probably encouraged the corruption sweep up. Added a few names to that list himself.
4) NavyJackass wants you to believe there was no 4D chess in that. Even after one of the biggest names arrested was someone Trump called out over a year ago.
5) NavyJackass probably wants us to believe Mueller is a dirty swamp monster.
6) Every indictment, every rumored indictment, are lobbyists that dump foreign cash into US politics. With the Saudi arrests, thats no coincidence.
7) Trump is smart. REALLY smart. More cunning than anyone I've ever seen. See my thread on Batman Gambits. EVERY TRAP TRUMP HAS LAID IS A BATMAN GAMBIT.
8) We did our part electing Trump in 2016. We can continue doing our part by pressuring congress to work with him and by opening our hearts to liberals who have been filled with hate.
9) But to lie? To spread bullshit about how McMaster is a secret muslim coup plotter? That Trump is helpless? That Sessions is lazy and corrupt?
10) That's not helping anyone but the ones spreading those lies. /end

1) You're assuming Democrats act independently. This is incorrect. I understand why you might think this way, because that's how the GOP behaves, but there's a key difference between the GOP and the Dems.
2) The GOP has a large network of cooperating interest groups that all are moving in the same general direction in terms of candidates that GOP candidates have to interact with.

The Dems filter ALL their campaign donations through political apparatuses managed by party leaders
3) Effectively, this means that if Pelosi, Schumer, or a neoliberal equally high up gives the thumbs down, they turn off the campaign donation spigot for a Democrat overnight.

1) Trump can, but does not want, to declare a national emergency in order to build the wall. It is a very nice position to be in, really, knowing that he can get what he wants one way or the other. But he still wants it to go through congress. Why?
2) Because he wants a Republican congress and senate again after 2020. Right now, he's on track to win 2020. He's an incumbent in a good economy, and right now the markets both like a deadlocked government AND is now immune to the shocks that plagued the Obama shutdowns.
3) But he can't have another round of House and Senate elections like what we saw for 2018. We didn't bleed as much as we could have and even edged out a gain in the Senate, and Trump's name will be on the ballot, but the GOP isn't going to save itself, they're incapable of it.

1) Who’s on the attack? Its a question that’s asked thousands of times every day. Usually its asked as ‘who’s the aggro deck’, when people are playing competitive card games, which is where I learned the concept.
2) Essentially, in a one on one competition, there are two strategies. Offense, and defense. Nice and simple. The offense aggresively goes after their goals, the defense will prevent their opponents from achieving their goals until the defense can achieve its goals.
3) Whoever does best at their strategy, wins.

So what happens when both competitors go into a match intending to be on the offense? What happens when both intend to be on the defense?

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

By: @Anis_Shivani for @AlterNet

Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

2/
I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

#Saudi Arabia says #Canada's statement on the arrest of activists in the Kingdom is an unacceptable interference in its internal affairs, expels the Canadian ambassador and freezes all future trade. bbc.in/2vs6crl
"In her first public response to Saudi Arabia's actions, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday: 'Let me be very clear ... Canada will always stand up for human rights in Canada and around the world, and women's rights are human rights'." aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/s…
Direct investment was already down in #Saudi Arabia after some of the recent disturbances; this spat with #Canada is unlikely to help. on.wsj.com/2OgITYl

OK, here we go on #Trump, #empire, whether this is America's Roman moment, and so on. This is a very good article. But what's missing from its assessment of the world as being 3 empires (Europe, US, and China), is the third empire isn't Europe. /1
Europe and USA belong to the same empire. The third empire is Russia.
The three spheres of military/economic influence are China, Russia, and the West ie Europe, the USA, other N. American nations, and our protectorates/allies in Pacific/East Asia like Australia, Philippines /2
Regional powers tend to be clients of one or other (Iran to Russia, Israel to the US, etc). Little nations (Taiwan, South Korea, Estonia, Bulgaria, etc) that the US and NATO alliance fail to protect will fall to Russia - openly imperialist, a dying monster lashing out... /3

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
