Volitve v ZDA 2020

Michael Cohen ima na lagerju "tell-all", ki ga je začel pisat v zaporu, ven naj bi prišel konec septembra. Je pa objavil uvod.

Driving south from New York City to Washington, DC on 1-95 on the cold, gray winter morning of February 24th, 2019, en route to testify against President Trump before both Houses of Congress, I knew he wanted me gone before I could tell the nation what I know about him. Not the billionaire celebrity savior of the country or lying lunatic, not the tabloid tycoon or self-anointed Chosen One, not the avatar @realdonaldtrump of Twitter fame, but the real real Donald Trump—the man very, very, very few people know.

...

Trump’s theory of life, business and politics revolved around threats and the prospect of destruction—financial, electoral, personal, physical—as a weapon. I knew how he worked because I had frequently been the one screaming threats on his behalf as Trump’s fixer and designated thug.

...

President Trump controlled all the levers of the Commander in Chief and all the overt and covert powers that come with the highest office in the country. He also possessed a cult-like hold over his supporters, some of them demonstrably unhinged and willing to do anything to please or protect the President. I knew how committed these fanatics were because I’d been one of them: an acolyte obsessed with Donald J. Trump, a demented follower willing to do anything for him, including, as I vowed once to a reporter, to take a bullet.

...

To half of Americans, it seemed like Trump was effectively a Russian-controlled fraud who had lied and cheated his way to the White House; to the other half of Americans, to Trump’s supporters, the entire Russian scandal was a witch hunt invented by Democrats (...) Both sides were wrong. I knew that the reality was much more complicated and dangerous. Trump had colluded with the Russians, but not in the sophisticated ways imagined by his detractors. I also knew that the Mueller investigation was not a witch-hunt. Trump had cheated in the election, with Russian connivance, as you will discover in these pages, because doing anything—and I mean anything—to “win” has always been his business model and way of life. Trump had also continued to pursue a major real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign. He attempted to insinuate himself into the world of President Vladimir Putin and his coterie of corrupt billionaire oligarchs. I know because I personally ran that deal and kept Trump and his children closely informed of all updates, even as the candidate blatantly lied to the American people saying, “there’s no Russian collusion, I have no dealings with Russia…there’s no Russia.”

...

The one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that whatever you may have heard or thought about me, you don’t know me or my story or the Donald Trump that I know. For more than a decade, I was Trump’s first call every morning and his last call every night. I was in and out of Trump’s office on the 26th floor of the Trump Tower as many as fifty times a day, tending to his every demand. Our cell phones had the same address books, our contacts so entwined, overlapping and intimate that part of my job was to deal with the endless queries and requests, however large or small, from Trump’s countless rich and famous acquaintances. I called any and all of the people he spoke to, most often on his behalf as his attorney and emissary, and everyone knew that when I spoke to them, it was as good as if they were talking directly to Trump.

Apart from his wife and children, I knew Trump better than anyone else did. In some ways, I knew him better than even his family did because I bore witness to the real man, in strip clubs, shady business meetings, and in the unguarded moments when he revealed who he really was: a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.

There are reasons why there has never been an intimate portrait of Donald Trump, the man. In part, it’s because he has a million acquaintances, pals and hangers on, but no real friends. He has no one he trusts to keep his secrets. For ten years, he certainly had me, and I was always there for him, and look what happened to me. I urge you to really consider that fact: Trump has no true friends. He has lived his entire life avoiding and evading taking responsibility for his actions. He crushed or cheated all who stood in his way, but I know where the skeletons are buried because I was the one who buried them. I was the one who most encouraged him to run for president in 2011, and then again in 2015, carefully orchestrating the famous trip down the escalator in Trump Tower for him to announce his candidacy. When Trump wanted to reach Russian President Vladimir Putin, via a secret back channel, I was tasked with making the connection in my Keystone Kop fashion. I stiffed contractors on his behalf, ripped off his business partners, lied to his wife Melania to hide his sexual infidelities, and bullied and screamed at anyone who threatened Trump’s path to power. From golden showers in a sex club in Vegas, to tax fraud, to deals with corrupt officials from the former Soviet Union, to catch and kill conspiracies to silence Trump’s clandestine lovers, I wasn’t just a witness to the president’s rise—I was an active and eager participant.

...

As you read my story, you will no doubt ask yourself if you like me, or if you would act as I did, and the answer will frequently be no to both of those questions. But permit me to make a point: If you only read stories written by people you like, you will never be able to understand Donald Trump or the current state of the American soul. More than that, it’s only by actually understanding my decisions and actions that you can get inside Trump’s mind and understand his worldview.

...

As the months passed by and I thought about the man I knew so well, I became even more convinced that Trump will never leave office peacefully. The types of scandals that have surfaced in recent months will only continue to emerge with greater and greater levels of treachery and deceit. If Trump wins another four years, these scandals will prove to only be the tip of the iceberg. I’m certain that Trump knows he will face prison time if he leaves office, the inevitable cold Karma to the notorious chants of “Lock Her Up!” But that is the Trump I know in a nutshell. He projects his own sins and crimes onto others, partly to distract and confuse but mostly because he thinks everyone is as corrupt and shameless and ruthless as he is; a poisonous mindset I know all too well. Whoever follows Trump into the White House, if the President doesn’t manage to make himself the leader for life, as he has started to joke about—and Trump never actually jokes- will discover a tangle of frauds and scams and lawlessness. Trump and his minions will do anything to cover up that reality, and I mean anything.

...

Watching Trump on the evening news in the prison rec room, I almost feel sorry for him. I know him so well and I know his facial tics and tells; I see the cornered look in his eyes as he flails and rants and raves, searching for a protector and advocate, someone willing to fight dirty and destroy his enemies. I see the men who have replaced me and continue to forfeit their reputations by doing the President’s bidding, no matter how dishonest or sleazy or unlawful. Rudy Guiliani, William Barr, Jared Kushner and Mike Pompeo are Trump’s new wannabe fixers, sycophants willing to distort the truth and break the law in the service of the Boss. All this will be to no avail. Trump doesn’t want to hear this, and he will certainly deny it, but he’s lost without his original bulldog lawyer Roy Cohn, or his other former pitbull and personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

Ma lej, da ne ponavljam vse kar je bilo že 100x napisano, če meniš, da je Trumpo na ta način uničil Covid-19 v ZDA, ti realnost sporoča nekaj čisto drugega.

Kaj ti pomagajo njegova navodila, če guvernerji posameznih držav počnejo čist neki drugega... In ironično, ravno demokratski guvernerji delajo praktično nasprotno njegovim navodilom. In BTW, Trump je daleč od popolnega in tudi poteze niso bile najboljše... ampak so demokrati dokazali, da so še večji nesposobneži. Še zdaj imajo demokratske države lockdown in zapirajo poslovneže, ki si upajo odpret svoje poslovalnice. Medtem pa podpirajo rajanja in uničevanje po ulicah pod pretvezo "BLM". #factsmatter

Cel čas se govori o nekem ruskem vpletanju, tukaj pa Cohen jasno napiše, da so Rusi bili zraven le toliko, kolikor jih je za rokav vlekel Trump.

Enkrat ko je na netu, je na tisočih kompih...
Bidonček je pa še en živi dokaz, kako "demokrati", "levica" in ostale stranke za "enakopravnost" ljudi samo potapljajo to družbo v kolaps civilizacije... Po eni strani si prav želim, da OldFaggy zmaga, ker se potem začnejo veselice na ekonomskem področju, ko demokrati uničijo vrednost dolarja...
Ko se bodo ljudje naučili, da je Dolfi in njemu podobni zgolj in samo odraz stanja v družbi, se bomo premaknili naprej. Do takrat pa, kot sem že napisal, čakam, da uvedejo "Purge Night" ;)

Mainline conservatives have learned that you can endorse or quietly accept a person and advance their views without having to openly advance their views. Ellen's reasoning here is why they get away with it, and it's genuinely shameful. Shameful for her. Shameful for the GOP. Already relatives in my family are sharing the "she's not really eligible" line with one another. Days in. Do you know why? Because mainline conservs aren't out there shouting at the top of their lungs that QAnon is dangerous quackery and disassociating from everyone peddling it. And by quietly allowing it to spread under an allied banner as they do, it gets tossed into the traveling suitcase of ridiculousness alongside "I'm against PC culture", as though being a Q believer is the same as accidentally stepping over some arcane language barrier.
People like @ellencarmichael look at the media and scream bias over "extremists" like AOC and wonder why? Maybe look in the mirror a bit. Democrats come out against their extreme left. They denied the extreme left the 2020 ticket. While the GOP jumps under a white hooded snuggie with their extremist right playing tickle-me-boogaloo so they don't risk the wrath of the 35% of the population they've outright mentally and spiritually poisoned.
If these people want to lay claim to any pretense of being serious ideologues worthy of liberal democracy, they're going to need to drop their overworn weapons of "the media is biased" and "Democrats are socialist cultural marxists" and soak in a tub of shame for a bit. Because shame is healthy. Shame is a necessary component of community's immune system. Because shame bypasses ridiculous word games and shouting matches and communicates "the more you struggle to justify being a horrific person, the less welcome you are here."
The worst thing you can do for someone being truly horrible is act as though it's fine, that love alone will get you through it, that we all just have different opinions and thoughts. Think back to child rearing, the formation of our moral centers. What was most effective then? Not angry punishments. Not being whipped or slapped. It was disappointing someone whose approval you crave. Someone you love and respect. Shame isn't only an internal feeling we experience independent of those around us. It's a reflex. Sure, some people just won't have it. But most people? Most people have enough innate reflex that the proper response will elicit shame in them. Exercise it because you love them.

Kako lahko nekdo dela resno analizo in a) okliče Sandersa za levega ekstremista ter b) mimogrede prizna, da so demokrati (z goljufanjem) onemogočili popolnoma legitimno progresivno strujo v stranki in jo primerja z naciji na desni?

Ne fantaziraj.
V zadnjih mesecih smo v ZDA priča divjanju levičarskih ektremistov (financiranih s strani Rusije in Kitajske), o nacijih praktično ne duha ne sluha.

Pozabil si Kubo, Venezuelo in Zimbabve.

Čedalje bolj je očitno dejstvo, da imajo Demokrati raje še 4 leta Trumpa, kot pa levega ekstremista Sandersa in tudi dejstvo je, da je Biden ekstremno slab kandidat, ki je primarno namenjen temu, da se je pro-levo politiko uničilo in če Trump zmaga, pač Trump še enkrat zmaga, pa si mislijo vodilni Demokrati, da ga bomo pa jeb**** v kongresu, senatu in v MSM.

In kdorkoli od progresivnih liberlacev bo glasoval za Bidena je to direkt glas proti progresivno liberalni politiki, in tudi, vsi ljudje, ki hvalijo Bidena, direktno na dolgi rok uničujejo progresivno liberalno politko, ki jo zagovarja Sanders.

Če Biden zmaga je to konec Sandersove politike in za Sandersovo politiko na dolgi rok je veliko bolje, da Trump zmaga!

In tudi dejstvo je, da Sandersa večinoma uničuje demokratska stranka in demokratsko usmerjeni MSM in ne Trump ali Republikanci.

ps: Samo večina ima tako velik TDS, da tega ne vidi!

On the cover of @nymag: the story of The Trump campaign, based on my interviews with more than 30 sources from the 2020 & 2016 campaigns, Republicans in politics & government at all levels, & people serving at the highest ranks of the Trump administration. Jared vs. The World; Kellyanne vs. Brad Parscale; Trump vs. himself; the Campaign vs. reality. The portrait of the operation that emerged was so dysfunctional that I felt, at times, like I needed to hire a family therapist to moderate my interviews.
I also report new details about the political career of Trump’s new campaign manager Bill Stepien, and about the dynamics between Stepien, Kushner, and Chris Christie — whom they both have valid reasons to hate.
This campaign isn’t a normal one, since the candidates are mostly housebound, but I found a campaign trail anyway, and following it revealed what the Trump campaign’s supposedly amazing ground game actually looks like up close.

And about my reporting on the Trump campaign volunteer events that either did not exist or did not take place because there were no volunteers: the first one I went to was a two hour drive from Washington — more than four hours in the car total — and when I got there and nobody showed up, I was annoyed! I had wanted to see a volunteer training session! That was the whole idea! No volunteers = no training session to see. I was amused by this, sure, but I wasn’t happy about it. Because I wasn’t setting out to prove the ground game hype might be fiction. When I got to the next event, the next night, and there were no volunteers there, either, I wasn’t annoyed exactly. It was very interesting to me, at that point, that this was starting to become a pattern. But I would’ve been happy to have been able to witness the training sesh. The third Trump event was 4 hours from Washington — more than 8 hours driving in total. I point this out to emphasize the lengths, literally, I was going to in order to try to see the campaign in action. But there was no action to see. No event existed. That became the story.
As I was doing this reporting, I kept thinking, Who the fuck has the time to do this kind of legwork? Very few reporters & very few publications have the time & resources to do the time consuming/expensive work of following your gut to check out something that might be nothing. To double check it, triple check it. To spend hours & hours that you’re not sure will amount to much. This is a privilege, but it shouldn’t be. I’m grateful to work for @NYMag, a place that values & supports the kind of journalism that is getting harder & harder to produce. Here I am sitting in my rental car waiting for Trump campaign volunteers to show up to a scheduled campaign event in Pennsylvania that it would later turn out did not exist in the first place due to rampant incompetence within the Trump campaign.

To. To. To. Milijonkrat to.

And this shit is why the US Left, whose culture is based around performative edgelordism and hatred of Normies and "shitlibs", continually fails Imagine if they acted like this in Belarus. "Feckless moderates, they're no better than Lukashenko, we wouldn't have these great mass street protests if they were in power!"
Imagine if they acted like this in 1930s Germany. "I'm not going to fight Hitler just to get stabbed in the back by some feckless moderate social-fascist!"
OH WAIT. THEY DID.

Problem je, da gledaš od zunaj navznoter. Večina ameriških volivcev želi rešit probleme, ne skurit ZDA. Z morebitno izjemo hardcore levičarjev in evangeličanov, ki verjamejo v rapture. In zato so potrebni kompromisi&dialog.

The basic message of much of the MAGA side of this website is boiled down to this:
"Only Trump can save this nation from the chaos he's not saving it from now."
I'm not sure that's compelling.

must see:

Bidna so po dolgih tednih privlekli s kleti na "intervju" s Cardi B (neka starleta) in še tam se je narobe spomnil št. lastnih vnukov, zgrešil za 2. Hudo zabavno še bo to.

Former Trump administration chief strategist Steve Bannon was charged on Thursday with fraud by federal prosecutors in New York and taken into custody.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort passed internal Trump campaign information to a Russian intelligence officer during the 2016 election, a new bipartisan Senate report concludes.

...

From this, there is a bipartisan consensus about the nature of the Russian threat. Both sides agree that the Russian government meddled in the 2016 election -- and are calling for action to protect campaigns from foreign interference in future campaigns.
