New From Keith Olbermann: Why Donald Trump Won’t Hold Press Conferences

Zerohedge is now trying to claim 4chan is behind this, uh, issue with Donald Trump (Zerohedge should stay with, uh, liquid assets).
Again: 4chan is not going to throw the guy under the bus they mostly supported, and 4chan really does not like drawing attention to itself.
If it was true (4chan did it) then right there the FBI has the authority to seize and shut down their Website. There may be a lot of puerile stuff on 4chan, but they aren’t stupid.
Either Fuckface Von Pisstick cancels the press conference or it goes on and our press pussyfoots around the Russian espionage because our press has no balls.

I keep seeing people questioning whether Russia’s goal was to weaken a President Clinton, or to elect Donald Trump.
Why do people think these goals are different? How about “Russia’s goal was to eect Donald Trump, or if unable to do that, to weaken Hillary Clinton’s Presidency”.
re: #7 Blind Frog Belly White
Right, the goal was the same either way: subvert American democracy.

One of the claims that the document compromising Mr. Trump is fake is that “Alpha Bank” (the Russian bank associated with him) is misspelt.
In Russian, it appears as Альфа-Банк
The Cyrillic letter ф can be translated either “f” or “ph.”
In phonetics, the letter A is written “alfa.”
The Greek letter is normally written “alpha.”
The spelling of Alfa Bank is mostly left up to who is writing it.

This has been quite a day on Twitter. Richard Nixon, if there were some sort of afterlife, must be kicking himself over this. Conservatives are trying to either mainstream (ewwww. any compound word ending in -stream will be banished from my vocabulary) or discredit our intelligence sources, and wondering “how did this incompetent ass get elected?”

Oh wonderful. The local paper (no Website) says mountain lions have been spotted the last couple days on the edge of the village.
They recommend not walking out alone at night (in a village of 124). I’m guessing if a mountain lion wanted to take me, the time of day wouldn’t matter.

Regarding Liquid Ass… no, you don’t. Regarding cats, I just had to threaten Stewie to stop the “Mrrr”ing as there are no more treats at this time. After somewhere around twenty to thirty of his “Mrrrr”s and my “No, not now”s, I tapped the compressor (I’m in my shop) to remind him that there is a way to make him disappear.
He went inside… for now.

Uh, not really. Even in the very kinky novels I edit, this ain’t part of it. The niche market would be so small they would not sell.
Wingnuts are still all over Twitter trying to claim “fake news” and “4chan” but they are not gaining traction. 4chan people are trying to claim credit as “Trump fan fic” and trolling Rick Wilson and the CIA, but the news was first hinted at a whole month before 4chan’s fake meme showed up on Twitter tonight. (I would not be adverse to the FBI investigating 4chan.)
Meanwhile, people in the Eastern Hemisphere are waking up to this and are going just as wild about it as when it broke here.
That said, this isn’t about Mr. Trump’s consensual kinks. It’s about espionage. The report is quite clear on that.

Supreme Court halts North Carolina special election to cure racially-gerrymandered districts.
huffingtonpost.com
WASHINGTON ― The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted an emergency petition from Republican legislators in North Carolina, putting the brakes on a special election to cure districts that a federal court determined were racially gerrymandered.
The justices’ move came a day before the new legislature is set to begin its legislative work, and a little over a week after Gov. Roy Cooper (D) took office. Cooper’s team did not return a request for comment on the court’s order.
In November, a three-judge court directed the state’s GOP-controlled General Assembly to redraw 28 state Senate and House districts that it said were designed to dilute the voting power of minorities. But the court let the November election take place under the old maps — on the condition that once the newly elected representatives redrew the maps, a new election would be conducted.
Republican legislators who were elected on Nov. 8 told the Supreme Court that the ruling effectively means their seats would only be good for one year, not two, and that the redrawn maps run the risk of being irrelevant because the justices will soon rule in a pair of cases that should provide further guidelines on how to deal with the use of race in redistricting.
“When the newly elected General Assembly convenes on January 11, 2017,” the Republican legislators told the court, “it should be free to pursue the people’s business, not forced to divert the precious first weeks to drawing maps based on the district court’s idiosyncratic view of redistricting, especially when further guidance from this Court is forthcoming.”
The Supreme Court temporarily agreed on Tuesday to the lawmakers’ request to delay the federal court order to redraw the offending maps and conduct a special election.

Wyden is our guy here in Oregon and while I don’t always agree with him I do like the way he operates:
The fact that both Obama and Trump were briefed on the report in a meeting with the heads of the NSA, CIA, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence suggests that US intelligence agencies at least consider its contents important, if not altogether true, says Susan Hennessey, a former NSA lawyer. Senator John McCain personally delivered a copy of the report to FBI Director James Comey in December, according to CNN. And in a Senate hearing today, Ron Wyden (D-OR) pressed Comey to reveal whether the FBI was investigating Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, a tactic Wyden has used in the past to call attention to the existence of classified information without revealing it.
That’s out of a new article at Wired.

So 4chan wrote up this fake story, sent it to both the FBI and McCain months ago and months apart, managed to get multiple agencies to accept it without so much as calling up their British counterparts to inquire as to its veracity, and got them to put such trust in it that it was included in a presidential intel briefing.

Yup, and after Mother Jones and other outlets had already reported that the FSB had dirt on Mr. Trump.
Apparently 4chan denizens have a Tardis to go back in time, plus are so powerful they can influence Sen. John McCain, BuzzFeed, MI-5, the CIA, and the FBI.

I imagine that their wee little minds have decided that if they isolate the whole thing to Buzzfeed, claim they were the subject of an elaborate prank by 4chan, then it ends right then and there. Say what was published to the press was a fake, that the “real” memo doesn’t contain any of the truly embarrassing bits, and say that the intel community is in on the whole thing on Obama’s orders.

As I noted last night, Trump has nobody in his corner who can actually speak with any authority on this leak. The biggest driver of this story is the report that the intel community felt the memo of such authenticity that they included it in their briefing to him. And nobody in that same community is rushing to debunk the story. Republicans on Capital Hill saying its not true mean nothing because the damned document implicates them in the whole matter as well.

The intel revelations about his sexual preferences and actions while in Russia are actually quite besides the point. It’s that the Russians were intent on exploiting Trump to their own benefit and would use these events to further their own interests at our expense.
Trump’s business dealings with Russia are shrouded in mystery, but we know he’s got significant business with Russians (courtesy of his own admission that they do).

That’s why Trump’s compromised.
That it is true or not is already besides the point. Russia benefits from kneecapping Trump’s administration in the crib with these statements. Create chaos and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the media’s handling of these revelations - included in the presidential briefings no less - compared to the Clinton email vaporware - is quite informative.

re: #28 Anymouse
Oh wonderful. The local paper (no Website) says mountain lions have been spotted the last couple days on the edge of the village.
They recommend not walking out alone at night (in a village of 124). I’m guessing if a mountain lion wanted to take me, the time of day wouldn’t matter.
It’s worse at night, though. During the day, they’re mostly occupied trying to get random joggers to sign up for Amway.
re: #84 Anymouse
Wikileaks doesn’t authenticate diddly. They just do document dumps. Their entire model has been for the press to do the verifications for them.
That’s why it annoys me so much when Bros say ‘Wikileaks has never had to issue a retraction.’
Of course not! They aren’t a press organization!
re: #154 Targetpractice
And predictably, wingnuts are attacking the people charged with vetting Trump’s nominees and accusing them of “politicizing” the whole mess rather than dealing with the reality that Trump’s nominees are dragging ass on turning over documents and have deliberately organized their financial connections in such a way as to stymie efforts to get a complete picture.
Funny how the people who once demanded to see every email and document from the Clinton Foundation now are upset that DT nominees are being asked to provide the most basic stuff. Of course these same people didn’t care about seeing DT’s tax returns either.
Behold such “principle”.
I regret having missed the golden shower story. It’s probably as bad as it sounds, huh?
The Kremlin must be full of laughter right about now. Even if this story is bullshit, the row its setting off works perfectly for Vlad. The time that is going to spent making this whole mess go away is time that isn’t being devoted to (for example) Russia’s “withdrawal” from Syria.
The FBI and CIA sat on the intel in October, even though the intel was circulating in DC:
This, too, we all knew at the time. For god sake: Who did these people think they were fooling? pic.twitter.com/BZgfymtQUA

The FBI and CIA refused to address this substantively at the time. The CIA doesn’t need to show beyond a reasonable doubt that this is factual. That’s not the standards they use. This isn’t a prosecution.
That they found this information, and suggests that Russia was intending to compromise Trump should have been made public at the time. Had voters known at the time that they were voting for a guy who was being targeted and/or already compromised by Russia, they might have chosen differently.
Russia got exactly what they wanted out of all this - a dysfunctional transition, an incompetent and out of his league future president, all kinds of uncertainty and a refusal by a significant portion of the American public to believe anything the media says to the contrary (that Trump is compromised, a liar, moral/ethically challenged, bigot, racist, etc., anything that would be disqualifying). Russia will step into the vacuum and exploit the situation to their benefit, whether it’s more favorable deals, inserting itself into regional affairs outside its traditional sphere of influence - expanding it’s sphere of influence, or pushing for favorable outcomes that are detrimental to the US and our interests (think Middle East, South Asia, Central America, etc.).

Uh, not really. Even in the very kinky novels I edit, this ain’t part of it. The niche market would be so small they would not sell.
Wingnuts are still all over Twitter trying to claim “fake news” and “4chan” but they are not gaining traction. 4chan people are trying to claim credit as “Trump fan fic” and trolling Rick Wilson and the CIA, but the news was first hinted at a whole month before 4chan’s fake meme showed up on Twitter tonight. (I would not be adverse to the FBI investigating 4chan.)
Meanwhile, people in the Eastern Hemisphere are waking up to this and are going just as wild about it as when it broke here.
That said, this isn’t about Mr. Trump’s consensual kinks. It’s about espionage. The report is quite clear on that.

Simple math puts this as starting in 2011, just before or more likely just after his public pantsing at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

This is the same thing the GOP and right wing media outlets have been doing for years. Ignoring actual news in favor of pushing BS to the masses.
When a huge story falls into their laps, they just flat out ignore it - Russians potentially blackmailing the future president; compromising a president; etc.
Because they’d still rather crap on the outgoing president than report that the incoming administration is truly FUBAR.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the President of the United States, Louie Gohmert.
So I posted that gif of the koala ankle hug on fb last night and one of my friends, a Trumper, posted a short paragraph about how disappointed he was with the “ridiculous exposure of the 4chan troll” and how he had to pretend he didn’t vote for McCain in 2008 after he proved himself to be an idiot…
My wife wakes up, sees his comment, and says, “Who is this and why is he ranting?”
I said, “He’s a Trumper I used to work with and he’s upset over the latest scandal.”
She: Which one?
Me: The latest one with the Russians.
She: What’s this one about?
Me: Golden showers.
She: Oh no.
Then we both laughed at what it takes to elicit an “Oh no.” with regard to Trump.

Trump: Trust Russia when they say that they didn’t do what our intel agencies claim they did.
Trump: I have no relations with Russia.
Lies, more lies, and obfuscations.
So, yes, it’s true that Trump has failed to land a business venture inside Russia. But the real truth is that, as major banks in America stopped lending him money following his many bankruptcies, the Trump organization was forced to seek financing from non-traditional institutions. Several had direct ties to Russian financial interests in ways that have raised eyebrows. What’s more, several of Trump’s senior advisors have business ties to Russia or its satellite politicians.
“The Trump-Russia links beneath the surface are even more extensive,” Max Boot wrote in the Los Angeles Times. “Trump has sought and received funding from Russian investors for his business ventures, especially after most American banks stopped lending to him following his multiple bankruptcies.”
What’s more, three of Trump’s top advisors all have extensive financial and business ties to Russian financiers, wrote Boot, the former editor of the Op Ed page of the Wall Street Journal and now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Construction projects, beauty pageants, and ties to people close to Putin. Heck, his daughter Ivanka parties with Putin’s squeeze.
But sure, there’s no ties. No business. Nothing to see here.
Everywhere you turn, Trump lies about his businesses and what they’re up to. The moment you hold any of it up to scrutiny, it falls apart as smoke and mirrors. Trump’s so far over his head that it’s dangerous.

I read, perhaps in Slate, a speculative article about Hitler’s first girlfriend, before Eva Braun. The article mentioned that Hitler was said to have a kink called Undinism, named after Undine (of the sea).
The common definition of Undinism is exactly what Twitter is on fire about!
I’m not interested in Hitler’s preferences, but I love the term “Undinism”. It makes this common kink seem to be ominous and scary, just as when I was in middle school, when I could say “Sexual DEV-iant” in just the right tone of voice to get everyone around me to show me on the doll where my bully touched me.
Just imagine my congressman in MA-6, Seth Moulton, in a hearing, saying, “Mr. President, is it true that you’re an *Undinist*?!”

We’re that other Kremlin. We just sell cookies shaped like Lenin, Stalin, Putin, and Trump. All the great Russian leaders.
As Olbermann (above and previously) and just about everyone with a functioning brain have noted, the man can’t just respond and drop it. This is a dangerous trait for a person in the position he will soon be occupying. It’s a massive security hole for him to be able to twit a will about anything that riles him up.
Lashing out a private citizen is one thing. Doing it as the chief executive of the US is another. Then, add on the inability to let things go and move on to the next issue spells massive trouble. And, other leaders are going to take advantage of it. They know how to play the international give-and-take game, tRump does not. Adittionally, we won’t have any high level diplomats in other countries to help, anymore.
Today’s hearings are already underway and Tillerson is getting grilled by….
Rubio?
Rubio: “Is Vladimir Putin a war criminal?”
Tillerson: “I would not use that term”
Rubio: Aleppo facts might “help you reach that conclusion”— Jon Ward (@jonward11) January 11, 2017
Yeah, Trump’s picks are compromised and incompetent. And inexperienced. Take your pick as each is worse than the last one.
Sessions was a mess yesterday. Tillerson’s showing that he’s no better.
The only one who’ll probably make it through unscathed is Chao, and that’s not saying much given that she got it as part of a quid pro quo with McConnell.
re: #275 Sherlock Hound
I read, perhaps in Slate, a speculative article about Hitler’s first girlfriend, before Eva Braun. The article mentioned that Hitler was said to have a kink called Undinism, named after Undine (of the sea).
The common definition of Undinism is exactly what Twitter is on fire about!
I’m not interested in Hitler’s preferences, but I love the term “Undinism”. It makes this common kink seem to be ominous and scary, just as when I was in middle school, when I could say “Sexual DEV-iant” in just the right tone of voice to get everyone around me to show me on the doll where my bully touched me.
Just imagine my congressman in MA-6, Seth Moulton, in a hearing, saying, “Mr. President, is it true that you’re an *Undinist*?!”
“Undinism”? Is that anything like Onanism?

….the Kremlin does not engage in collecting compromising info.
L.M.A.O.
If that’s true the Russian state prosecutor should have them jailed for negligence.

Well yeah no one wants to admit being chummy with a war criminal.
re: #280 HappyWarrior
US and British I believe.
The CNN report I read made it sound as if it originated from former British operatives, but that it may have been included by US intel in its briefings of POTUS and PEOTUS. I’ll admit it sounds sketchy from what I just read. But nothing would really surprise me about DT’s Russian ties, since he’s been pretty blatant about his sympathy.
The Doctor murmurs to Pence:
Don’t you think he looks tired?
That’s the effect of this Intel release.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) January 11, 2017

So, who are the four people who may be the subjects of FISA warrants? I’m pulling a Rick Perry and can only remember three.
Manafort, Flynn, Carter Page, and….who?
Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen, I think.

Greenwald is probably frothing with rage at this criticism of a non-US leader.

Yep, thanks. Took me a minute but I remembered.
I win an election easily, a great “movement” is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!

Baba’s prediction about today’s presser:
Trump will take 3 prepared, softball questions from Fox News, Breitbart and National Enquirer and then rant for 20 minutes about how the media is so “unfair” and “dishonest”

Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to “leak” into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?

So I tune into CNN to prepare for the “press conference”…and instead get Ron Johnson fellating Tillerson on live TV. Somebody hand me a bucket, I need to puke.

“Hey, look, the guy gave me an award.”
“Mr. Putin, is it true that you have video of President-elect Trump performing indecent acts with a miniature giraffe?
“CERTAINLY NOT!
It’s an alpaca.
And it’s full-size.”

So, I’ve got the flu; we’re having a major outbreak here in the Czech Republic this flu season…..it’s H3N2.
Tomorrow will mark the first time in over 20 years I’ve had to miss work, I’m so sick. One thing I will say is I’m now damned glad I quit smoking and started vaping a couple months back, because I’d probably be in the hospital right now on a ventilator if I was still smoking ciggies.
Nasty strain, early onset…hooboy.
Early monitoring of vaccine effectiveness in Finland and Sweden suggests suboptimal performance of the current vaccine against the circulating A(H3N2) strains, with a 30% vaccine effectiveness in persons of 65 years and older for laboratory-confirmed influenza A. Given the partial effectiveness of influenza vaccines, rapid use of neuraminidase inhibitors for laboratory-confirmed or probable cases of influenza should be considered for vaccinated and non-vaccinated at-risk patients.
