    She looks like a woman resigned to her fate. Russian brides are popular with businessmen today, because they can be good Christian girls who don't talk back, and are happy to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen cooking dinner. In her case, barefoot and miserable. Edith Bunker and Archie. A less liberated woman you would be hard pressed to find in the US, but I know one Filipino whose father arranged her marriage, and she would not have married anyone else if given the choice. He was a big multimillionaire and spoiled her rotten as if she was the family pet, so long as she obeyed him. She would drive her porce cross country at a hundred miles an hour and throw the tickets in the back. Any larger a car, and she'd have to wear platform shoes just to reach the pedals.

    Top Military Officers unload on Trump – Atlantic Magazine


    I. HE DISDAINS EXPERTISE

    Trump has little interest in the details of policy. He makes up his mind about a thing, and those who disagree with him—even those with manifestly more knowledge and experience—are stupid, or slow, or crazy.

    As a personal quality, this can be trying; in a president, it is dangerous. Trump rejects the careful process of decision making that has long guided commanders in chief.

    II. HE TRUSTS ONLY HIS OWN INSTINCTS
    Trump believes that his gut feelings about things are excellent, if not genius. Those around him encourage that belief, or they are fired. Winning the White House against all odds may have made it unshakable.

    Decisiveness is good, the generals agreed. But making decisions without considering facts is not.

    III. HE RESISTS COHERENT STRATEGY
    If there is any broad logic to Trump’s behavior, it’s Keep ’em confused. He believes that unpredictability itself is a virtue.

    Keeping an enemy off-balance can be a good thing, the generals agreed, so long as you are not off-balance yourself.

    I was speaking about the Armenians in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran -- the nations relevant in our discussion concerning the Kurds.

    Unlike the Kurds, the Armenians DO have their own state, there is no necessity to campaign for a separate Armenian state inside Turkey !!!

    At last night's Minneapolis rally, following Trump's attack on Rep.Ilhan Omar, whom he accused of being an "America-hating Socialist", an al-Qaeda sympathizer and an Anti-Semite, Trump went after Minnesota's Somali refugee community as a whole, to the cheers of the MAGA crowd. Three Trump supporters are already in federal prison for plotting a murderous attack on Somali refugees, and his speech drew criticism for potentially inciting violence against the Somalis. And he denies he's a racist!

    He's not a racist in the sense that the man no longer has a mind, much less, a soul.

    In Tacoma, Wa there is an ICE detention center. It’s full of pawns in DT s racist policies. I would suggest the facility be converted to house all the DT people accused and convicted of crimes against our society, perhaps DT himself. Might need to add on another wing tho!

    If the right wing demands civil war, I'm sure our next democratic president can empty all those facilities, and make them nice and comfortable for right wingers. They may even throw in air freshner, so the guards can still breathe. They might even empty the prisons of all the potheads, which is about 1/3 the population, and replace them all with fascist terrorists. You'll get along great with all the Mafiosos.

    Trump loses appeal to stop House subpoena of his tax documents
    By Katelyn Polantz, CNN

    Donald Trump loses appeal to stop House subpoena of his tax documents - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "President Donald Trump on Friday lost his appeal to stop a House subpoena of his tax documents from his longtime accountant Mazars USA.

    In a 2-1 ruling, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a lower court ruling saying the firm must turn over eight years of accounting records.

    The opinion is a strong signal that the White House's letter earlier this week refusing to cooperate with the impeachment probe without a full House vote authorizing it would not hold up in court.

    The court specifically weighed in on this idea, writing it has "no authority" to require the House to take a full vote in support of a subpoena to investigate the President, citing the Constitution."

    Add 'ass' to Trump's public vulgarity.


    Trump on October 10, 2019 at Minnesota rally:

    "He was only a good vice-president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass.”

    Trump is still doing his 'the likes of which has never been seen before' at his MInnesota rally.

    “I think we’re going to have a turnout the likes of which we’ve never seen in the history of our country,”

    Trump impeachment: Marie Yovanovitch says she was ousted over 'false claims'
    BBC
    October 11, 2019

    Sacked US ambassador denounces 'false claims'

    excerpt:

    "The former US ambassador to Ukraine has told lawmakers she was sacked over "unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives".

    Marie Yovanovitch said she was "incredulous" at being dismissed by President Donald Trump in May.

    Her testimony is part of an impeachment inquiry against the US president.

    The Democratic probe is looking into whether Mr Trump improperly pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden.

    It was sparked by a whistleblower complaint about a July phone call between the Republican president and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

    During that conversation, Mr Trump described Ms Yovanovitch as "bad news", according to a rough transcript released by the White House.

    The decision to dismiss her several months earlier reportedly followed the US president's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and other conservatives arguing she was biased against the president."

    Federal judge says Trump's use of emergency funds to build wall is unlawful
    By Priscilla Alvarez, CNN
    Updated 3:28 PM ET, Fri October 11, 2019

    Federal judge says Trump's use of emergency funds to build wall is unlawful - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "A federal judge in Texas ruled Friday that President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration to build a border wall is unlawful and appears poised to block the use of those funds.

    Judge David Briones of the US District Court for the Western District of Texas, asked challengers of the wall to propose the scope of a preliminary injunction.

    The lawsuit, brought by El Paso County, Texas, and Border Network for Human Rights, seeks an injunction to block Trump's national emergency declaration. It argues that Trump overstepped his authority when he issued the declaration to gain access to additional funds for his border wall, despite receiving $1.375 billion from Congress.

    The complaint also alleges that the declaration doesn't meet the National Emergencies Act's definition of "emergency" and pushes back against Trump's remarks that border barriers led to a drop in crime in El Paso."

    This is classic Trump. Harking back to the good old days of the 1940's.

    His people in the Commerce Department such as Ross, Navarro, and Leitheiser hark all the way back to the 1820's and rave about how tariffs were a main source of income for the U.S. during that era.

    Do you think Trump feels the same about Vice President Mike Pence?
