PUTIN DEMANDS SESSIONS RESIGN FROM RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
Speaking at the Kremlin, Putin said that the controversies swirling around Sessions in Washington “no longer make it possible for Jeff Sessions to function as an integral part of the Kremlin team.”
Putin asserted that Sessions had “become a distraction,” and ordered the Alabama native to clear out his desk at the Kremlin “by Friday morning at the latest.”
While Kremlin sources said that forcing Sessions’s resignation was “a necessary measure,” they would not guarantee that he was the only member of the Trump Cabinet who would be expelled from the Russian government.
“We’ve put a dozen of them on notice,” one Kremlin source said

These days when I see one of these things the first thing I look for is the misspelled word(s).
Has a Russian ambassador ever been so directly involved with a U.S. President as much as Kislyak? He’s all over the damn place. Convention, Congressional address. Calling and meeting Trump staff before during and after the elections.
Has any country’s ambassador?
If someone gets the ambassador to start talking the Trump administration is in a world of hurt. Kislyak has more power than anyone in the Trump camp…more power than Trump.
It now can be used to get more out of Trump or to totally destroy him.
Trump has got to be sweating big lea…

Well, considering that Kislyak is considered by the US and Western ICs to be Putin’s premier spymaster and recruiter in the US, the only thing that I can divine from his busyness before and after our election is to check on his assets and make sure they stay in line, if you catch my drift.

Any Russians implicated in real crimes can be charged accordingly or made persona non grata if they have diplomatic immunity.
But the larger point remains that if the Republican party and Trump administration want to turn themselves into Putin’s lackeys, that is all on Trump and the Republicans.

There’s so much that’s out in the open already. As Sessions has indicated, they “don’t know the rules.”
Not knowing the rules is irrelevant in many circumstances. If you had the intent to do something and then did it, or took steps to do it, and it turns out “it” was a crime, you’re criminally liable. Now, there’s a chance that you only get hit with criminal negligence, but the key word is still “criminal”… and of course you get into real trouble when you start the discussion of “knew or should have known”, especially in this case, because if you’re working on behalf of someone who may become POTUS, you probably should have known.

“We pass a lot of laws… I mean, not in the last eight years, because fuck that guy, but normally? Yeah, we pass a lot of laws, can’t expect us to know everything that’s in them. I mean, how else did you think we managed to ban internet poker? Shit was actually popular, hell, I had an account on a couple of sites, but we have to cast a wide net in case anyone is actually having fun or spending their money in a way we don’t really like.”

Notice that “Fox Fact” in the background.
“Yeah, the Ruskies tampered with the election but there’s no evidence they were successful.”
Isn’t that both the rock and the hard place the GOP are in. They can’t be liking what is happening, but what option do they have but to try and brazen it out?
If they have to impeach The Orange Pork Find because of Russian collusion (won’t call it interference) then how can they possibly expect any legitimancy for Pence. If the Russians help the Toxic Turnip become president, then they helped Pence become VP.
Then the argument becomes what coat tail effect occurred in the rest of the elections.
The whole house of cards should fall.

there’s actually a kind of easter egg in that album. “The Afternoon” has the mega-hit at the front, but it’s paired up with a really cool prelude to “Evening” that is just absolutely mellow and haunting as hell. And of course, then there’s Nights in White Satin, which was so good, it didn’t even become a massive hit until sometime in 1972 when it got re-released as a single for some reason. I guess it was just one of those songs that needed time for people to appreciate it.

A law professor who served as the White House ethics lawyer under former President George W. Bush slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions over reports that he lied to Congress about his communications with Russia.
According to the The Washington Post, Sessions spoke to the Russian ambassador twice last year and did not mention the conversations in his confirmation hearings.
If the report is true, it’s “a good way to go to jail,” said Richard Painter, who served as White House ethics lawyer between 2005 and 2007 and is now law professor for the University of Minnesota.

re: #362 EPR-radar
In this case, only an idiot or a Republicans (but I repeat myself) would believe that Session’s communications with the Russians weren’t related to the Trump candidacy.
I think even the pathetic mainstream media can follow this trail persistently enough to cause trouble for Sessions.
If this plays out the way I hope it does (with 85 Senators voting to convict on at least one article of impeachment), the ultimate question will be whether Pence gets swamped up in this. If he doesn’t, he could easily come in, fire any cabinet member or staffer implicated in the Russian affair and appoint new people. Anyone fired in that circumstance is going to be done with politics (in America, at least). If he does get swallowed up in this, then the question becomes, who will be the Speaker when it happens?

The GOP leadership will pull the trigger as soon as they determine their agenda is in danger. McConnell isn’t up until 2020, and by then he’ll be almost 80. Ryan will probably make a deal with Pence that if this happens, he gets to be VP or they’ll find a way to implicate him in the affair as well (making Ryan the next POTUS). In the Ryan as VP scenario, I could see something where Pence says he won’t run in 2020 in order to help the country put all this behind us.

Not much of one at all. And they run another risk: if they try and push everything through between now and the midterms (or more accurately, the primaries for the midterms), and things go to shit, they risk losing elections and power. Dismantling government, like they want to, has to be done slowly, so people don’t really notice until it’s too late. Doing it all at once and the shit hitting the fan, that’s a recipe for losing 300 seats in the House and 70 in the Senate.

Important OT: TechCrunch: As Supreme Court case nears, tech takes a stand for transgender rights
Many of tech’s largest and most powerful companies have signed an amicus brief in support of transgender student Gavin Grimm as the first case on transgender rights makes its way to the highest court in the land later this month.
Following the news that Apple was drumming up interest in such a brief, a full list reveals 54 U.S. companies have signed on to date. The amicus brief, authored by law firm BakerHostetler, argues in support of 17-year-old plaintiff Gavin Grimm, a transgender Virginia high school student who alleges that his school board violated Title IX when it denied him access to the boy’s restroom at his school.
Apple in particular took initiative in mobilizing the technology community around the upcoming Supreme Court case, working with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to reach out to potential signatories and securing their commitments to signing on. The “friend of the court” brief is dominated by well-known names in tech, but includes some names beyond the industry, including clothing retailer The Gap, eyewear designer Warby Parker and homewares store Williams-Sonoma.
Last week, many tech companies were openly critical of the Trump administration’s decision to rescind guidance that instructed schools to allow trans students to use the restroom that matches their gender identity.
“We invest in the practice of inclusive diversity to ensure we are supporting and incorporating the broadest set of perspectives throughout our corporate community,” said Yahoo’s Global Head of Inclusive Diversity Margenett Moore-Roberts, in a comment on Yahoo and Tumblr’s decision to join the brief. “As part of this philosophy, we stand with Gavin and all transgender people seeking equality.”

Chilling read…….(stolen from fellow travelers at Balloon Juice)
NYTimes: Department of Justification
Stephen Bannon and Jeff Sessions, the new attorney general, have long shared a vision for remaking America. Now the nation’s top law-enforcement agency can serve as a tool for enacting it.
One night in September 2014, when he was chief executive of Breitbart News, Stephen Bannon hosted cocktails and dinner at the Washington townhouse where he lived, a mansion near the Supreme Court that he liked to call the Breitbart Embassy. Beneath elaborate chandeliers and flanked by gold drapes and stately oil paintings, Jeff Sessions, then a senator from Alabama, sat next to the guest of honor: Nigel Farage, the insurgent British politician, who first met Sessions two years earlier when Bannon introduced them. Farage was building support for his right-wing party by complaining in the British press about “uncontrolled mass immigration.” Sessions, like other attendees, was celebrating the recent collapse in Congress of bipartisan immigration reform, which would have provided a path to citizenship for some undocumented people. At the dinner, Sessions told a writer for Vice, Reid Cherlin, that Bannon’s site was instrumental in defeating the measure. Sessions read Breitbart almost every day, he explained, because it was “putting out cutting-edge information.”
Bannon’s role in blocking the reform had gone beyond sympathetic coverage on his site. Over the previous year, he, Sessions and one of Sessions’s top aides, Stephen Miller, spent “an enormous amount of time” meeting in person, “developing plans and messaging and strategy,” as Miller later explained to Rosie Gray in The Atlantic. Breitbart writers also reportedly met with Sessions’s staff for a weekly happy hour at the Union Pub. For most Republicans in Washington, immigration was an issue they wished would go away, a persistent source of conflict between the party’s elites, who saw it as a straightforward economic good, and its middle-class voting base, who mistrusted the effects of immigration on employment. But for Bannon, Sessions and Miller, immigration was a galvanizing issue, lying at the center of their apparent vision for reshaping the United States by tethering it to its European and Christian origins. (None of them would comment for this article.) That September evening, as they celebrated the collapse of the reform effort — and the rise of Farage, whose own anti-immigration party in Britain represented the new brand of nativism — it felt like the beginning of something new. “I was privileged enough to be at it,” Miller said about the gathering last June, while a guest on Breitbart’s SiriusXM radio show. “It’s going to sound like a motivational speech, but it’s true. To all the voters out there: The only limits to what we can achieve is what we believe we can achieve.”
The answer to what they could achieve, of course, is now obvious: everything. Bannon and Miller are ensconced in the West Wing, as arguably the two most influential policy advisers to Donald J. Trump. And Jeff Sessions is now the attorney general of the United States. The genesis of their working relationship is crucial to understanding the far-reaching domestic goals of the Trump presidency and how the law may be used to attain them over the next four years. Bannon and Sessions have effectively presented the country’s changing demographics — the rising number of minority and foreign-born residents — as America’s chief internal threat. Sessions has long been an outlier in his party on this subject; in 2013, when his Republican colleagues were talking primarily about curbing illegal immigration, he offered a proposal to curb legal immigration. (It failed in committee, 17 to one.)…
At a time when other, more libertarian conservatives had begun to embrace critiques of the criminal-justice system, each man saw crime as yet another way that the fabric of society was deteriorating. While Bannon was chief executive, Breitbart created a specific tag for articles called “black crime” and ran article after article demonizing the Black Lives Matter movement (calling protesters “blood-lusting junkies”) and showing Latino immigrants as violent (“One Sex Offender Illegal Alien Caught After Another Alleged Offender Legalized”). The site also frequently covered Sessions’s condemnations of criminal-justice reform. Opposing a bipartisan bill to reduce sentences for some nonviolent drug offenses, Sessions said last May that Republican supporters of the legislation “in no way represent the conservative movement” and warned against “signing death warrants for thousands of American innocent citizens.”
As the Republican primary season progressed, it became clear to Sessions and Bannon that Trump could be the vessel for their brand of Republicanism. Back in August 2015, Bannon emailed a friend, according to The Daily Beast, that while he felt good about other candidates like Ted Cruz, he was ready to pick Trump, because he was “a nationalist who embraces” Sessions’s immigration plan. Six months later, Sessions became the first senator to endorse Trump for president. Last August, Sessions helped create a new immigration policy for Trump, which called for reducing immigration by, among other things, tightening the rules about visas for high-skilled workers. That same month, Bannon took over Trump’s campaign.
Their shared view was central to Trump’s Inaugural Address, which, according to The Wall Street Journal, Bannon and Miller principally wrote…
It is through the Justice Department that the administration is likely to advance its nationalist plans — to strengthen the grip of law enforcement, raise barriers to voting and significantly reduce all forms of immigration, promoting what seems to be a longstanding desire to reassert the country’s European and Christian heritage. It’s not an accident that Sessions, who presumably could have chosen from a number of plum assignments, opted for the role of attorney general. The Department of Justice is the most valuable perch from which to transform the country in the way he and Bannon have wanted. With an exaggerated threat of disorder looming, the nation’s top law-enforcement agency could become a machine for trying to fundamentally change who gets to be an American and what rights they can enjoy…

re: #455 Backwoods_Sleuth
Every story you read lately seems to lead back to…
“… while the pipe may be made in the U.S., as DeSmog has shown in previous investigations, ownership tells a different story. Enter: TMK IPSCO, a massive producer of steel for U.S. oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and line pipe, and a subsidiary of TMK Group. A DeSmog investigation has found ties between TMK Group’s Board of Directors and Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
desmogblog.com
“TMK IPSCO, which has said it wants to be a direct competitor of U.S. Steel Corporation in the Marcellus, also makes steel for companies doing fracking in the Bakken Shale basin, located primarily in North Dakota.
TMK Group also has a subsidiary named TMK Completions, which manufactures “multi-stage completion systems and tools for both uncemented and cemented well completion designs” for the fracking process. TMK did not respond to repeated requests for comment for this story.”

Someome has to take back the GOP from the God-botheres and Norquists/NRA-fetishers…..
Esquire: Here’s a Conservative Republican I’d Vote For
To me, the best work is found in the story of Tom Brewer, a 58-year old Lakota man who made a career in the Army and has come home to run for the state senate. (Nebraska never has had a Native in its state senate.) He is riding a mule as his campaign vehicle of choice. His story is an amazing one.
Back then, there were few choices for Indian youth like him, a direct descendant of the famed Sioux Chief Red Cloud. So when a military recruiter came calling, Brewer did the only thing he could think of: He signed up for a hitch, donning the uniform of the country that had destroyed his own. “The Lakota spirit is a warrior spirit and that’s what drew me to the military,” Brewer says. “We’re a warrior culture, and if you’re going to be a warrior, you should do it in uniform.” And so he did, serving 13 tours of duty. Six in Afghanistan. Countless battle wounds. Shot seven times. Blown up by a rocket-propelled grenade. Traumatic brain injury. Two purple hearts and a bronze medal.
So, what have you done for us lately, Tom?Heroes and Horses. It was perfect - a program founded in 2013 and funded by various sponsors that relied on horses and mules to help heal the tormented psyches of wounded war veterans. He’d heard about it through Soldier Angels, an umbrella organization that matches veterans with programs designed to help ease their return to civilian life. The veterans who participate in Heroes and Horses spend several days in Montana learning how to ride, saddle, pack and care for a horse, and then navigate through the mountains on horseback. They also learn the traditional Native way of doing things like starting a fire. Brewer said the idea behind it is to remind the veterans they are capable, that they still have a purpose. Another idea is to use stress as a weapon to help confront the crippling PTSD that saddles many veterans. “We used this stress to give the men confidence in themselves,” Brewer explained. “We rejuvenated them to believe in themselves so the thought of suicide was no longer there.”
Another story.Suddenly, a mother grizzly and her cubs came out of the woods. Brewer was leading the group and summoned the other group leader, Kail Mantle, from the rear. But his horse, Rancher, lost its footing on the narrow path, sliding down the steep, rocky mountain. A dead tree branch skewered the horse’s heart, spraying blood everywhere “like you had opened a hose from your sprinkler or something,” Brewer said. Recalled Anna Mann, a female veteran of the group: “The veteran between Tom and I was starting to experience some serious symptoms from the blood and the yelling and the screaming. So I had to talk the veteran down with my words and tone and get them to look away, look at me, look at their horse.” Brewer and Mantle got the pack saddle off the horse and slowly led the women down the mountain. The grizzly followed behind, staring ominously. “It was nice to know those skills never leave you, of keeping your cool while the world is going pear-shaped,” Mann said.
Tom Brewer is a conservative Republican and I couldn’t care less. I’d walk ahead of a grizzly to vote for this tough old bird. Read the whole thing, as the kidz say. And, thanks to a helpful feature that comes with the series, in the time it took to write these 900-odd words, 77 cans of beer were sold in the stores of White Clay, Nebraska. Oops, sorry, we’re up to 88 now, and climbing.

Here’s an example of the kind of madness that hides behind the bland phrase “onerous regulations.” Sid Miller and his yahoo buddies want to fight feral hogs by spreading rat poison all over Texas.
feral boars were brought to the United States to be hunted for sport before they proliferated across Texas and other states.
Sounds like a problem the sport hunters should have to solve.

“Even if only hogs can get to the bait, LaCour said, “they’re going to drop crumbs on the outside.” Those crumbs might then be eaten by rodents, which might be eaten by birds, and thus warfarin could spread throughout the ecosystem.People should be concerned too, LaCour said: Millions take low doses of warfarin, like Coumadin, to prevent blood clots. Ingesting more from poisoned game could be “very problematic,” he said.
Miller isn’t worried.”
Of course he isn’t.

Arrest made in ‘You live in Trump country now’ gay-bashing attack
Kevin Seymour and Kevin Price told police that about 1 a.m. on Feb. 23, they were riding bicycles in the 700 block of Duval when they saw a man swerving on a rented scooter. Seymour says he shouted to warn the scooter rider, identified by police as Davis, that he almost hit a car. Davis yelled, “You guys are a couple of fags,” “I bet you faggots voted for that bitch Hillary” and “You live in Trump country now,” police say.
When Seymour threatened to call police, Davis allegedly told him, “If you do that, I’ll cut you up.”
At one point, the scooter rider struck the rear tire of Seymour’s bike, knocking him to the ground. Seymour and Price got the scooter tag number before he fled.

re: #265 steve_davis
there’s actually a kind of easter egg in that album. “The Afternoon” has the mega-hit at the front, but it’s paired up with a really cool prelude to “Evening” that is just absolutely mellow and haunting as hell. And of course, then there’s Nights in White Satin, which was so good, it didn’t even become a massive hit until sometime in 1972 when it got re-released as a single for some reason. I guess it was just one of those songs that needed time for people to appreciate it.
“Another Morning” is my favorite on that album (and yes, I owned the ALBUM back in the days, kidlets.) I could listen to that song over and over—then one night I was at a party with a lot of my druggie friends, and they all discovered it for the first time (oooh, it sounds like dolphins, or some such shit) and I was so excited that everyone loved my favorite song—then I realized I was the only one there who wasn’t stoned out of my mind. Memories.

My strongest memory of ‘Nights In White Satin’ is from a prom in NW MN (I think it was Crookston) that my band played in 1977 or so. They used Nights In White Satin as the processional march and they just kept going on and on and on for about 50 minutes before they were done and we could stop playing the song.
‘Never reaching the end’ indeed.

‘Nights in White Satin’ was one of the required prom songs in the early 70’s — classic excuse for a snuggling slow-dance shuffle even if you had two left feet. (See also ‘Cherish’, ‘Never My Love’ and ‘Precious and Few’)
Ah, memories. ‘Days’ is one of the albums engrained in my personal soundtrack, so it only takes a few notes to start the flashbacks.

I actually had two versions of the album—stereo and quadrophonic—of course, I never had a quad sound system, so couldn’t tell the difference.
