Trump's AMERICA : 2018 (& world reaction )
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
McCain��s death marks changing of the guard with potentially enormous consequences for holding Trump accountable
Sen. John McCain, who used his chairmanship of the Senate Armed Services Committee to question President Trump��s stance on Russia, and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, who has decried Trump��s chaotic approach to diplomacy, are passing their powerful committee gavels to two of the president��s biggest supporters.
The departure of either committee chairman would be noteworthy. But together, they portend a sweeping change in how Congress may use its oversight authority to check the president��s international agenda, according to current and former lawmakers, lobbyists and policy watchers.

If Trump Falls, the Testimonies of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg Could Spark an anti-Semitic Backlash
The trio’s public profile is a Jewish stereotype: the lawyer-fixer, the smut-dealing publisher and the numbers whiz who knows it all

Haarez delivered a warning today to American Jewry. “If Trump falls, the testimonies of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg could spark an anti-Semitic Backlash.”
Many have passed through the Trump Administration’s revolving door and faded away quietly but those who may bring the president down are “the lawyer-fixer (Michael Cohen), the smut-dealing publisher (David Pecker) and the numbers whiz who knows it all (Alan Weisselberg).” Prominent Haaretz correspondent Chemi Shalev is honest enough to openly acknowledge that “the trio’s public profile is a Jewish stereotype.”
Shalev dared to write the article every other political analyst has dreaded putting into words let alone text. “The name of the lawyer who implicated Donald Trump in the commission of federal crimes is Cohen. The name of the publisher who has agreed to tell investigators how he turned his newspaper into a clearinghouse for Cohen’s payments to women is Pecker. And the name of the accountant who has been granted immunity in order to testify about the role played by the Trump Organization in Cohen’s endeavors is Weisselberg. The common denominators of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg, beside their willingness to do whatever it takes for Trump in the past and their apparent willingness to inform on him now, is that all three are indisputably and recognizably Jewish.”
If you wonder why no one in America was courageous enough to write about Trump being betrayed by his closest Jewish aids, Shalev’s answer is “anyone who does so risks being accused of generalizing, if not actively encouraging anti-Semitism." But this is just the first stage in this saga according to Haaretz’s correspondent. “Somewhere down the line. The racist, supremacist and neo-Nazi element of Trump’s base is already drooling at the impending opportunity of enlisting disgruntled rank and file Trump fans in a battle against the Jewish conspiracy aimed at their idol.”
Shalev realises that Trump’s days are numbered. And he believes the actions of Cohen, Pecker and Wiesselberg make Trump’s political survival unlikely. " “Cohen's admissions in a New York courtroom last week that his payments to porn’s Stormy Daniels and Playboy’s Karen MacDougal were made in accordance with Trump’s instructions have cast the President as a criminal who violated campaign finance laws. Pecker’s testimony could reportedly make clear that the two payments were part of a nefarious system. And Weisselberg's account, though currently limited to Cohen’s payments, could pave the way to exposure of the long line of alleged misdeeds carried out by Trump as real estate mogul, franchising czar, reality star, presidential candidate and commander in chief.”
When Trump was elected some saw him as the "First Jewish President." At the moment it looks as if it his Trump’s closest Jewish aides who may provide the final nails in his presidential coffin. Enacting astute Jewish pre traumatic instinct, Shalev notes that “Trump repeatedly and profusely praises Paul Manafort, who isn’t Jewish, for remaining loyal despite the past and future convictions awaiting him. Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg, who sound like a stand-up’s Jewish law firm, are, by implication, part of the vast conspiracy… that seeks to bring the President down and to undermine the voters’ verdict.”
Shalev uses the clearest possible language. “If Trump emerges unscathed, a scenario that seems increasingly unlikely, fears of anti-Semitic backlash could recede. If Trump is impeached, or forced to resign, or impaired in any other way, shape or form, the outrage against his incriminators and their common heritage could turn into a clear and present danger for American Jews.” You ask, ‘what about Israel?’ Shalev doesn’t shy away from the question. “The American right’s adoration of Israel won’t be an obstacle: Many of Trump’s constituents, like Netanyahu’s, can easily ignore the common bonds between Israel and its greatest Diaspora. Israel is the country of proud and nationalistic Jew-heroes that man the West’s forward outpost against radical Islam and who play a critical role in advancing the End of Days.”
Maybe the above explains the Trump administration's indication yesterday that it is set to announce it rejects Palestinian ‘right of return.’ If Shalev is correct then the message here could be interpreted as follows -- we are still supporting Israel, Zionism, we are totally anti Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims but we don’t trust Jews either. This is, in fact, a common Zionist anti Semitic position. i.e., ‘We like and support Jews as long as they are somewhere else, preferably Zion.’
According to Shalev, “from the moment Cohen turned his back on Trump, and more so since Pecker and Weisselberg apparently joined him, the neo-Nazi network is busy preparing the flip side of the coin, the analogy that could impress Trump’s followers, if he falters: The three are portrayed as successors to Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus to authorities.” I guess that you have noticed that while Shalev seems to be comfortable pointing at the ethnicity of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg he seems to refer to Goyim who do the same as ‘neo-Nazis’ and ‘supremacists.’
Shalev writes that before Trump’s elections, “American Jewish organizations were quick to call out Trump for the suspected anti-Semitic messages in his statements and campaign.” But their voices receded “with the prodding of Netanyahu and the vouching of Sheldon Adelson… Trump’s disturbing words were swept under the carpet of his decidedly pro-Israeli polices.” Trump’s allegedly Jew-hating supporters were somehow ignored by the American media.
However, this may change very soon. “The Jewishness of the three former Trump aides who have now decided to testify against him could mar the artificial tranquillity and, in a worst-case scenario, spark a dangerous wave of anti-Semitism. American Jewish leaders would do well to prepare for such a stormy day, as would Netanyahu, who has placed all of his prestige on Trump and the American right.”
Shalev sarcastically suggests that “if Netanyahu is forced to choose between the administration’s pro-settler, anti-Palestinian policies and his duty to fight anti-Semitism and stand up for beleaguered American Jews, they (America Jews) would do well to start seeking their salvation elsewhere.”
Havoc ahead, sums it up.

Don’t blame the Mafia — it was American capitalism that spawned Donald Trump

White House aides wanted to issue a statement praising McCain as a 'hero.' Trump nixed the idea and posted a brief tweet instead.
The move underscored the bitter relationship between Sen. John McCain and President Trump �� and Trump��s continued anger toward one of his sharpest critics, people close to both men said.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ng_now__alert-politics--alert-national&wpmk=1
First: Tweeting is NOT classy or dignified. Does he not hold a serious position that requires a degree of decorum??
Second: The trumpster is probably jealous of the attention McCain is getting. .. ( and that is another part of his mental dysfunction) aka personality disorder.
Actually the only thing worse than Trump ignoring McCain's death would be listening to him stumble through a speech praising a man he hated.
The insane tweet is still pending. If the Navy gives McCain a big send-off that is too much like the military parade the Great leader and Most Stable Genius feels that he's entitled to, it might push him over the edge. The White House staff have a certain amount of control over the messages leaving there but not over Trump's insane tweets.
Waaaa I wanted Hillary to win . Waaaa . This is just not fair Waaaa . Almost two whole years and Trump is still President . Waaaa .
