I'm all for keeping jobs in America. Great idea. But countries will retaliate -- they have agency too -- and voters won't like $2000 TVs.

I'm no free market fundamentalist. I despise weirdo Randians. But unilateral protectionism will end badly for the US economy -- & Americans.

Pardon my skepticism that Trump, having pissed off pretty much everybody, will get his vaunted "good deals" here.

@20committee don't think that's what's on the cards but bi-lateral trade deals. (if we can believe @PressSec today)

.@_fl01 absolutely; but since 1945 world trade structures have evolved; attacking them -- built by USA btw -- unilaterally will end badly

I wonder if geniuses in DC realize that the global system they want to destroy -- UN, WTO, et al -- was built by the USG to benefit the USA.

Yeah, we'll REALLY love the UN when it moves its HQS to Moscow or Beijing. Enjoy war crimes trials for Americans!

@20committee Listing the UN here is understandable, but it's harder to make the case for the expense these days.

Kick out the UN, and USA is held to same war crimes standards as Yugoslavs and Rwandans. I can think of people who will need good lawyers.

Don't get too excited about Rumsfeld, Cheney & Bolton (there's karma!) dying in jail in The Hague -- so will Obama.

Countries gifted to Stalin at Yalta in 1945 won't go passively this time. Now they have independence -- and armies. FYI @realDonaldTrump

A so-called "Yalta 2" is what Putin wants from Trump. Was just on Russian television today discussing the idea.

Stand up for the Republic and our Allies, who for many decades have supported us and our shared values. We have bled together. Remember.

Admin after admin has never wanted to level with the public about AQ+Iran. @thomasjoscelyn is on the case...

One previously released document, apparently authored by bin Laden himself, summarized his views on Iran. In a letter dated Oct. 18, 2007, Bin Laden warned one of his subordinates in Iraq not to openly threaten attacks inside Iran. Bin Laden explained why (emphasis added):

You did not consult with us on that serious issue that affects the general welfare of all of us. We expected you would consult with us for these important matters, for as you are aware, Iran is our main artery for funds, personnel, and communication, as well as the matter of hostages.

The thing about celebrating political violence is people react accordingly. Ask Weimar Germany how that worked out.

Two months ago, Richard Spencer had trouble getting 200 people to attend his "big" DC event. Now he's a celebrity. Way to go, antifa!

Noben ameriski medij ni valid. To bi ti lahko do zdaj ze bilo jasno. Se najblizje validnosti je NPR.

So Slovenske novice bolj valic od CNN.

od kje ideje, da CNN ni valid? kolk nagrad so dobili za svoje poročanje.

Lahko tudi odlicno lazes. Tako kot to pocnejo prakticno vsi mediji v ZDA.

So, here's a thing about Trump and his competence/mental state. I'm gong to list three things that have happened since he was elected. Thing the first - when asked about his/the GOP's plan on ACA, he said, repeatedly, that the Democrats "own Obamacare" and its failures. He said that they "should" let it fail and the Democrats would "own it", but they're not going to. Thing the second - when he visited the CIA, he said outright that he was visiting them first to put to bed the idea of a rift with them. And thing the third - he described the purpose of sweeping regulatory rollback as being to allow companies to do something "monstrous" fast.

These three things all have one thing in common - saying them in no way helped him, in no way advanced his case or achieved a goal. So why did he say them? I'll tell you why. It's the other thing they have in common: they are internal talking points. Strategy points.

Donald Trump told us he wanted the weekend off. He had no intention of going to the CIA, or anywhere else. So how did he get there? Like so:

Someone close to him says, "Donald, you need to go talk to the CIA."
"I don't wanna. They're out to get me."
"That's why you have to go."

His advisor (handler) says, "The media's talking about this rift, this rift. You have to go talk to them right away, show there's no rift." So Donald Trump gets up in front of the CIA and his paid cheering session, and honest to God the only thing he says on topic is that. He repeats, probably almost word for word, the rationale his advisor told him he had to be there. He doesn't understand what they actually wanted him to do, which was to get up and praise the CIA and act like there was no rift.

The other cases? Same thing. He's repeating to reporters the verbiage his aides and advisors explain to him why he wants to do things. It was probably Bannon the nihilist who told him that the regulatory rollback would help companies that want to do monstrous things. My point here is - Donald Trump was never a complex or nuanced man, but at this point, he's... well, "far gone" is the only way to put it.

It's unfortunate there is so much loaded, ableist rhetoric around both evil and incompetent men, but there is something going on here. When you read the text of a Trump interview or speech from ten years ao, compared to one today? The degradation is very obvious. Remember the report that the Russians had prepared all this kompromat on Trump but found they didn't need it? He just does what they say. And his close aides/associates outright saying he basically does what the last person he talked to (that he trusts) suggests.

I'll put this very bluntly: I don't think Donald Trump understands what the people in his life are telling him to do, even as he does it. If he were playing poker and Steve Bannon were helping him and Bannon said, "Donald, you're showing an ace but you've got nothing, bluff"...Donald would say, "I've got nothing so I'm bluffing." and then get very angry when he doesn't win, because he was told that would work.

There are at least those three times in January alone that he has repeated what was obviously an internal talking point, to reporters. This is not to say he's entirely a puppet president. I think he's doing two things right now: his own impulses, and what he's talked into. Both kinds of things are dangerous for different reasons. His unchecked id, unrestrained temperament, could literally get us all killed. And his tendency to go along with whatever the people he relies on press him into doing puts very dangerous people in powerful positions. And our supposedly "liberal media" spent ages blandly reporting on "concerns" of Clinton's health that were clearly deflection/projection.

Mark my words, if things continue, he's gonna pull a talking points gaffe like the ones I mentioned during an importantion negotiation. I've kept waiting for anyone in the media to notice this pattern but no one seems to be picking up on it, among the other weirdness. I'm sure to Donald it makes a kind of sense, he's always subscribed to the idea that it's all just "moves" in a negotiation anyway. The idea that you don't tell the person you're buttering up you're there to butter them up, or reveal your scapegoat plans to the public seems to have slipped away from him, though. He's lost what little sense of subtlety he ever had.

A scene I'd bet has happened:
Advisor: Donald, you have to say X, because Y.
Donald: So I say Y.
A: You can't say Y.
D: But I'm president!

And then there's a ten minute argument about why did the advisor tell him Y if he can't say Y, why can't he say Y if Y is true, etc. And the advisor tries to convince him that he can't say Y because it looks bad, but that turns into Donald wanting to say THAT. And then they run out of time and the advisor gives up, figuring (mostly correctly!) that it will all be overlooked anyway.

That's how we end up with Trump rambling about the Democrats owning Obamacare if the repeal/replace fails. That's how we end up with Trump telling the CIA he's visiting them first because of appearances. That's how we end up with Trump explaining the purpose of the regulation rollback as allowing companies to do monstrous things quickly.

Now, if you think this is worrying, here's the scary part: the people working with him in the White House and the GOP leaders must know this. And their collective reaction to this ongoing and likely spiraling state of affairs is not "This is bad." but "What a golden opportunity!"

Tomorrow, God willing, I will wake up. And I will find Trump's online supporters saying, "How do you know that's what his advisors said?" And it's true, I have no inside knowledge. It's just conversational algebra. You start from the actual outcome and work backwards. See, with a few exceptions, people rarely say things that make no sense. You just have to figure out *how* they make sense. And while it's tempting to dismiss what Trump spews in his rambles as "word salad", a lot of it does make sense from the right perspective. And I'm telling you, a lot of what he's been doing is repeating fragments of advice he'd get from advisors, things from strategy meetings. And I have never had a high opinion of him, but I don't believe he would have done that, ten years ago. Make of that what you will.

Hehe, kako zabavno je gledati stokanje main stream medijev po tej zadnji penetraciji. Ko sem prebral "shape shifters" sem pomislil na ljudi ala C. Manning, danes moški, jutri ženska... na Husseinove frende. Temu BBCjevcu ni še nič jasno - kar je logično, ti ljudje bodo to tudi zadnji spoznali. Naj blodi po svojih uniseks WCjih in fantazira o skupini moških iz Rusije. Take rabimo altrightovci.

It's deplorable, hehe...

Se opravičujem...ljudje se itak vedno bolj obnašajo kot psi, tko da mogoče je Trump res pravilna izbira.

I take it back.



Tisti, ki ne vidi vzporednic s Trumpom...you have my condolences.

Ne štekam, kaj je torej Trump po tvojem mnenju?

Ahaha. Top šit.

Donni bo popušu gladko, če demokrati spravijo skupaj enega normalnega kandidata (omenja se Michelle Obama). Je kot Janša pri nas (skoraj večni poraženec). Ima neko kritično skupino ljudi, ki ga bodo volili ne glede na karkoli in to je to.

Nekaj mi ni jasno pri teh likih: po eni strani stalno vrtijo kako biologija sploh ne obstaja (zelo znanstveno!) in je spol zgolj socialni konstrukt ...

Še tisotič. Donni je dobil skoraj 3 miljone MANJ glasov. Ne dojameš al kaj? Donni je lahko samo 8 let predsednik. A dojameš to? To ni Putin, ki se preseda iz stolčka na stolček, dokler mu jih tam okoli leta 2035 ne bo zmanjkalo.

Motiš se.

Malo si več preberte o teh kosilih. V državi, kjer je praktično vsak drugi overweight, bi bilo treba še kaj hujšega uvest, ne sam tole:

- More vegetables and fruit will be offered daily, including greater variety in colorful produce to provide an array of nutrients and fiber. Low-calorie options will be emphasized, and starchier types will be limited.
- Fat-free and low-fat milk ,as well as lower-fat meat options, like skinless chicken breast, will contribute to a fat-trimmed menu.
- Whole grains will contribute at least half of all grains offered; over time, all grains should become whole.
- Zero grams trans fat in any ingredient or product served.
- Gradual reduction in sodium content over time. (As noted by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, prior to the above regulations, some school lunches contained more than 60 percent of the daily recommended quantity of sodium for children.)
- Appropriate caloric requirements and nutrient needs for specified age groups. (Source)
