CNN: The Department of Justice Report on Trump’s Wiretap Allegation Does Not Confirm His Conspiracy Theory

Imagine, if you will, my surprise
Politics • Views: 35,899

It’s probably not going to surprise anyone who’s noticed that Donald Trump lies more than a Persian rug and gets his news from disreputable far right sources that sane people consider utter garbage, but CNN is reporting tonight that the Department of Justice wasted the country’s time and money by investigating Trump’s specious allegation that President Obama ordered a “wiretap” on Trump Tower during the campaign.

(CNN) Two government officials told CNN Friday evening that the classified report the Justice Department delivered to House and Senate investigators does not confirm President Donald Trump’s allegations that President Barack Obama wiretapped him during the campaign.

The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, spoke with knowledge of the classified report’s contents.

When asked if the DOJ’s documents would confirm Trump’s as of yet wholly unsubstantiated allegations, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes told CNN, “I don’t think so” as he walked into a room to read the report.

Does anyone think Donald Trump will now issue a retraction and apologize to President Obama for accusing him of a serious crime with no freaking evidence? Bueller?

Narcissists like Twitler can’t ever admit being wrong. No matter what evidence is provided, he’ll refuse to accept it. Worse, he won’t be discouraged from trusting his right wing sources of information instead of the massive intelligence apparatus under his control.

I’d love for Obama to sue for libel and defamation. He won’t do it, because he respects the office of the Presidency too much. But I’d love to see it, just to have Cheeto Benito go ballistic.

From the Angela Merkel thread where the FBI has identified who attacked Kurt Eichenwald via his Twitter account:
re: #375 Backwoods_Sleuth

“Intent” is the operative word here.

Another problem on attempted murder versus battery: All it would take would be one wingnut on a jury and out goes the attempted murder case (though that could happen with a battery case as well).

The Epilepsy Foundation had some freaks at 4chan attack its message board a few years ago the same way (for the so-called lulz). As far as I know, no one was ever identified in that attack, though EF changed its procedures on who can post to its forums. (No longer just anybody.)

Another WTF, Minnesota?…..

Star Tribune: Police got search warrant for everyone who Googled Edina resident’s name
Google said Friday that it objected “to this overreaching request for user data, and if needed, will fight it in court.”

A search warrant issued to Edina police to collect information on anyone who used certain search terms on Google is raising concerns about constitutional violations.

Privacy law experts say that the warrant — issued to find a suspect in an attempted identity and credit theft of an Edina resident — is based on an unusually broad definition of probable cause that could set a troubling precedent.

“This kind of warrant is cause for concern because it’s closer to these dragnet searches that the Fourth Amendment is designed to prevent,” said William McGeveran, a law professor at the University of Minnesota.

Issued by Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson in early February, the warrant looks at anyone who searched variations of the resident’s name on Google from Dec. 1 through Jan. 7.

In addition to basic contact information for people targeted by the warrant, Google is being asked to provide Edina police with their Social Security numbers, account and payment information, and IP (internet protocol) and MAC (media access control) addresses.

A spokesperson for Google, which received the warrant, said Friday: “We will continue to object to this overreaching request for user data, and if needed, will fight it in court. We always push back when we receive excessively broad requests for data about our users.”

Information on the warrant first emerged through a blog post by public records researcher Tony Webster. Technology website Ars Technica called the Edina warrant “perhaps the most expansive one we’ve seen unconnected to the U.S. national security apparatus.”

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The developer of the Keystone XL pipeline has donated $20,000 to the Nebraska Republican Party through a political action committee run by one of its U.S. subsidiaries.

The Feb. 8 donation was made as TransCanada seeks approval for a route through Nebraska. It came from Columbia Pipeline Group, which was acquired by the Canadian company in July.

TransCanada filed its application with the Nebraska Public Service Commission Feb. 16. Four of the commission’s five members are Republicans.

(Shamelessly lifted from Brad DeLong’s RSS Feed…)
Lawfare: The Revolt of the Judges: What Happens When the Judiciary Doesn’t Trust the President’s Oath

…There’s a legal debate, already ongoing, about both the propriety of the President’s order and the propriety of the judicial responses to it. But there’s also another meta-legal discussion…. What happens when people—including judges—don’t take the President’s oath of office seriously…. This meta-legal question strikes us, at least, as far more important and far-reaching. And we think the answer lies in judicial suspicion of Trump’s oath….
When the next executive order came out ten days ago, one of us (Ben) analyzed it along the following lines: Because the revised order was set to apply after a waiting period and did not affect current visa-holders or legal permanent residents, the order “[would] not cause people to be pulled off planes, or have their visas revoked, or suddenly be subject to detention at a port of entry.” As such, it seemed at the time that it would be “significantly harder to find plaintiffs with a cognizable injury” to challenge it. The Justice Department was clearly aware of this, writing in filings in both the Western District of Washington and the District of Columbia that “the New Executive Order does not present a need for emergency litigation.” Ben also predicted that, even if the ACLU or similar organizations were able to find plaintiffs with standing, they would find the new order much more difficult to attack in court….
It is early yet in the litigation, but it’s fair to say that at least in two of the first three district courts to rule on the matter over the past day, none of these predictions looks especially prescient…. Our point here is not that the district judges are clearly wrong…. In the face of real legal uncertainty as to the propriety of their actions, they are being astonishingly aggressive…. It really isn’t a normal thing for multiple district judges to do so in quick succession…. So what’s going on here?
One possibility is that we’re dealing with a bit of a fluke. The President behaved very badly, not merely in issuing a grotesque policy in a grotesque fashion but then in attacking the judges tasked with hearing the litigation his conduct spawned…. A second possibility is that these judges, while indeed somewhat ahead of the state of the law, are correctly anticipating its directional momentum…. Maybe Trump’s behavior is forcing a reevaluation of both the application of the Establishment Clause to visa issuance and the scope of deference the courts owe the president on certain national security-inflected immigration matters….
There is a third possibility, and we should be candid about it: Perhaps… there’s an unexpressed legal principle functionally at work here: That President Trump is a crazy person whose oath of office large numbers of judges simply don’t trust and to whom, therefore, a whole lot of normal rules of judicial conduct do not apply…. The normal rules of deference and presumption of regularity in presidential conduct—the rules that underlie norms like not looking behind a facially valid purpose for a visa issuance decision—simply don’t apply to Trump. As we’ve argued, these norms are a function of the president’s oath of office and the working assumption that the President is bound by the Take Care Clause. If the judiciary doesn’t trust the sincerity of the president’s oath and doesn’t have any presumption that the president will take care that the laws are faithfully executed, why on earth would it assume that a facially valid purpose of the executive is its actual purpose?… This, we suspect, is the true significance of all of the references in both district court opinions to the many statements made by Trump and his aides about the Muslim ban and the true purpose of the policy effectuated in both orders….
The question is whether that decoupling of the presidency from the person of the president, which we anticipated in our original essay on the oath, is quite as indefensible as Blackman assumes—or whether it’s an inevitable consequence of vesting someone as volatile and fundamentally disingenuous as Trump with “the Executive Power” of the United States of America. The other question is whether the higher courts—including, ultimately, a majority of the Supreme Court—will share Brinkema’s sensibility or Blackman’s on the matter…. Imagine a world in which other actors have no expectation of civic virtue from the President and thus no concept of deference to him. Imagine a world in which the words of the President are not presumed to carry any weight. Imagine a world in which far more judicial review of presidential conduct is de novo, and in which the executive has to find highly coercive means of enforcing message discipline on its staff because it can’t depend on loyalty. That’s a very different presidency than the one we have come to expect…. It’s a presidency in which we owe nothing to the office institutionally and make individual decisions about how to interact with it based on how much we trust, like, or hate its occupant. The question is whether the revolt of the judges we are currently witnessing is the beginning of this world.

Right, so it shouldn’t be a stretch to conclude that government which is the people ourselves should also do the same. That’s the rebuke I often see- that Christ never said anything about government. Kind of weak sauce but I don’t believe religion should be the basis of helping the poor and hungry anyohw.

I discovered you had to find a form for that noise if people are going to notice. So my next noise was as a drummer, then as a comedian and tummler. But I wanted the noise to last longer, so I became a writer.

The wingnuttery is even worse after the opening of the article:

COLUMBIA — For those concerned about societal collapse or impending disaster, two South Carolina lawmakers have a plan. It includes community ammo depots and tactical weapons training.

State Reps. Josiah Magnuson, R-Campobello, and Jonathon Hill, R-Townville — both from tiny towns in the Upstate Bible Belt— are in the process of setting up what they call the “Virtue Solution Project,” a group that is seeking to either save America or survive a societal collapse, which they both believe is likely coming.

The organization is a mixture of religious ministry, grassroots political organizing and disaster prepping. At its core, their movement hopes to save the country by reshaping it to their interpretation of the Founding Fathers’ ideals.

Holocaust: The Ignored Reality

All in all, as many if not more Jews were killed by bullets as by gas, but they were killed by bullets in easterly locations that are blurred in painful remembrance. The second most important part of the Holocaust is the mass murder by bullets in eastern Poland and the Soviet Union. It began with SS Einsatzgruppen shootings of Jewish men in June 1941, expanded to the murder of Jewish women and children in July, and extended to the extermination of entire Jewish communities that August and September. By the end of 1941, the Germans (along with local auxiliaries and Romanian troops) had killed a million Jews in the Soviet Union and the Baltics. That is the equivalent of the total number of Jews killed at Auschwitz during the entire war. By the end of 1942, the Germans (again, with a great deal of local assistance) had shot another 700,000 Jews, and the Soviet Jewish populations under their control had ceased to exist.

Reuters: Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings

A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

MIAMI/MOSCOW - During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.

“I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia,” President Trump said at a news conference last month. “I have no loans in Russia. I don’t have any deals in Russia.”

But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.

The buyers include politically connected businessmen, such as a former executive in a Moscow-based state-run construction firm that works on military and intelligence facilities, the founder of a St. Petersburg investment bank and the co-founder of a conglomerate with interests in banking, property and electronics.

People from the second and third tiers of Russian power have invested in the Trump buildings as well. One recently posted a photo of himself with the leader of a Russian motorcycle gang that was sanctioned by the United States for its alleged role in Moscow’s seizure of Crimea.

The Reuters review of investors from Russia in Trump’s Florida condominium buildings found no suggestion of wrongdoing by President Trump or his real estate organization. And none of the buyers appear to be from Putin’s inner circle.

The White House referred questions from Reuters to the Trump Organization, whose chief legal officer said the scrutiny of President Trump’s business ties with Russia was misplaced.

“I can say definitively that this is an overblown story that is media-created,” Alan Garten said in an interview. “I’ve been around this company and know the company’s dealings.”

The tally of investors from Russia may be conservative. The analysis found that at least 703 - or about one-third - of the owners of the 2044 units in the seven Trump buildings are limited liability companies, or LLCs, which have the ability to hide the identity of a property’s true owner. And the nationality of many buyers could not be determined. Russian-Americans who did not use a Russian address or passport in their purchases were not included in the tally.

The review focused on Florida because the state has a large concentration of Trump-branded buildings, and determining the ownership of properties is easier there than in some other states. The resort town of Sunny Isles Beach, site of six of the seven Trump-branded Florida residential towers, stands out in another way: The zip code that includes the Sunny Isles buildings has an estimated 1,200 Russian-born residents, among the most in the country, U.S. Census data show.

The Trump organization advertises all seven Florida buildings on its website as it pursues similar branding deals around the world. Exactly how much income Trump has earned from the buildings is unclear.

Six of the seven properties were the product of an agreement the New York property magnate struck in 2001 with father-and-son American developers Michael and Gil Dezer. The six buildings operated by the Dezers in Sunny Isles would bear Trump’s name under a licensing agreement.

In an interview, Gil Dezer said the project generated $2 billion in initial sales, from which Trump took a commission. Dezer declined to say how large a commission, citing confidentiality agreements. Garten, the Trump Organization’s chief legal officer, said Trump’s income was a mix of flat fees and percentages but declined to disclose them.

Edgardo Defortuna, a leading Miami developer, estimated that Trump likely made between one percent and four percent in initial sale commissions, based on the standard fees paid on similarly branded projects. If so, Trump stood to reap a total of $20 million to $80 million in Sunny Isles.

Trump receives no commission on subsequent sales in all seven of the Florida residential towers.

He continues to make money from one of the six Sunny Isles buildings, however, according to disclosure forms Trump filed in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. The disclosure form states that Trump received between $100,000 and $1 million from a business called Trump Marks Sunny Isles I LLC. Dezer said these funds came from the Trump International Beach Resort, a hotel and condominium complex.

Trump reported no income on his disclosure form from his seventh Florida property, the Trump Hollywood in the city of Hollywood. How much he has made over the years from that property’s 200 units is unclear. BH3, an investment fund which took over 180 units in a foreclosure sale, paid Trump a licensing fee of $25,000 for each unit, according to Daniel Lebensohn, a principal at the fund. If the remaining 20 units generated the same fee, Trump’s take would have been $5 million. Garten declined to confirm Trump’s commission.

Informed of the Reuters analysis of Trump’s Russian condo investors, two Democratic opponents of the president, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), renewed their calls for greater disclosure of his finances.

The second volume, “Means of Ascent.” LBJ’s primary campaign against Coke Stevenson showed what a truly vicious bastard he could be, and Caro’s research and writing are incomparable.

It wasn’t your fault.

The tweet in question is behind the privacy bar. (Do not open it if you suffer from migraines or epilepsy.) It is similar to the one foisted off on the Epilepsy Foundation. The person in question needs to be reported to Twitter so the libertarian dudebros that run it can claim “freeze peach.”

My wife is aware of the problem I just had and will keep a close eye on me. (Dizzy, not feeling well at the moment.)

“Not only that, they got to find fellow Trumpettes who believe in preserving The Master Race!”

I read, via, SPLC, a new Gallup poll that shows Americans are “more worried” about racial divisiveness than ever before. I’d like those who accused #44 of being solely responsible for racial divisiveness for eight years to explain how this is possible. #44 is gone, do they still blame him for this? According to the poll, more Americans are worried about this matter now than they ever were in the past. I posed this same question on my Facebook wall, but I’m not expecting my former co-workers, who claim to be staunch conservatives, to respond to my question. More than likely, they’re avoiding acknowledging how much of a mess Trump has made of the country in such a short period of time.

“It was not an “annoying tweet.” It was deliberate battery, which the alleged perpetrator indicated was an attempt to murder him.”

Rivello wasn’t shy about sharing the purpose of the tweet on social media. He admitted he knew Eichenwald has epileptic seizures, hoped the image in the tweet would make Eichenwald have a grand mal epileptic seizure, and hoped Eichenwald would die as a result. He definitely knew what he was doing, and it’s too late for him to say he didn’t know because his tweets showed his intent to harm Eichenwald, and included a wish for lethal harm to KE.

But Mr. Napolitano’s unlikely leap into global politics can be explained by his friendship with Mr. Trump, whom he met with this year to discuss potential Supreme Court nominees. Mr. Napolitano also has a taste for conspiracy theories, which led him to Larry C. Johnson, a former intelligence officer best known for spreading a hoax about Michelle Obama.

I also used it one time to look up a guy on northbound 360 in GP who had an “HH 88” in his custom plate number… Turned out he lived fairly close by. He’s probably a neighbor of the van owner. :P

And why did the Dallas Morning News put this bit in scare quotes? WTF?
dallasnews.com

Eichenwald tweeted that the man who “assaulted” him also is expected to be indicted by the Dallas district attorney on different charges in the next few days.

Eichenwald’s attorney, Steven Liberman, told Newsweek that “What Mr. Rivello did with his Twitter message was no different from someone sending a bomb in the mail or sending an envelope filled with anthrax spores.”

Trump’s Kids and Families to Visit Aspen This Weekend (goes to the Aspen Times)

A large contingent of President Donald Trump’s children and grandchildren are scheduled to vacation in Aspen this weekend, sources said Thursday.

U.S. Secret Service agents met recently with members of the Aspen Police Department, though they did not ask for assistance with the Trumps, according to an area law enforcement source who requested anonymity.

The Trump family is expected to arrive in Aspen late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, along with about 100 Secret Service agents, a source said.

Palm Beach County in Florida is stuck however, because all of Trump’s trips there are some sort of “official” government event - this weekend its about addressing the Veterans Administration without having the Department of Veterans Affairs administrator there.

I suspect the FBI is continuing to run down leads (anyone connected to the accused’s tweets or E-mails). That said, it would be Jeff Sessions’s Justice Department that has to decide whether to pursue the case (my understanding is that the Maryland district has file cyberstalking charges, which might be tough to prove though I’m not a lawyer), and that the Dallas district attorney is considering other charges (as Mr. Eichenwald lives in Dallas and filed a complaint there, regardless of what the wingnuts at Weasel Zippers and Daily Caller are claiming).

Instead of slathering yourself with messy sunscreen, wouldn’t it be a lot easier if you could just drink a magic potion that would protect you from harmful UV rays? One product says it can do just that, but the state of Iowa alleges that such claims are not only unproven, but dangerous.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller alleges in a lawsuit [PDF] filed this week that the owner of Osmosis LLC and Harmonized Water LLC has failed to prove that the companies’ products provide advertised protection against cancer-causing ultraviolet rays.

The lawsuit alleges that the defendants marketed their “UV Neutralizer” product as the “world’s first drinkable sunscreen” — without any valid testing to back those claims up.

Tiffany says hi! And as a step and half sibling that means something to me.
I’ve also never seen pic of him with the boys when they were young. She was the focal point in sometimes creepy ways. That doesn’t mean she couldn’t have gone awesomely rogue but she’s shown the opposite. She is a classic enabler and her husband is just as effed up as her pops.

By all means, find some silver linings, I just don’t think she deserves your possible good intentions (or even less sadistic intentions) arguments at the moment.

Why is FOX News HR trying to cover for Sean Hannity allegedly drawing a gun on Juan Williams by claiming he has concealed carry permits in multiple states, and claiming he is well-versed in firearms safety? And Mr. Hannity claiming the gun was unloaded?

All that has zip to do with firearms safety. Moreover, what use is a concealed firearm if it is unloaded? “Please wait Mr. Robber while I load my gun?” Unless he’s planning to beat someone with it, an unloaded gun is pretty much useless.

Geez, I’m a gun-hating liberal (who owns a gun) that wouldn’t join the NRA if you waterboarded me and I know the first rule of gun safety (since I was a child):

Always assume a gun is loaded, even if you just checked it, even if it never leaves your hand. (As put to me in boot camp, assume that a bullet magically teleported into the breech.)

Rule two: Do not point any weapon (gun, harpoon, bow and arrow, trebuchet, broadside) at something you do not want to shoot. Presume any living thing you shoot you will kill.

I would think that the CNN report (which the reporter still stands behind) would be enough for the New York police to go after Lumpy - even without a complaint from Juan Williams (assuming the witnesses to the event were willing to testify).

Ah, never mind. No one is going to go after Hannity.

A man was shot dead Saturday after seizing a rifle from a soldier guarding Paris’ Orly Airport, police and witnesses said. No one else in the busy terminal was hurt, but thousands of travelers were evacuated and flights were diverted to the city’s other airport.

Paris police were investigating whether the incident was linked to a shooting earlier Saturday during a traffic stop north of Paris. The Paris police office says a man fired birdshot at officers who stopped him, wounding one in the face. He then fled and stole a woman’s car after threatening her with a weapon. That car was found near Orly.

French national police said that only one man was involved in the airport attack and denied reports of a possible second attacker. No information about the slain man or any other injuries was available a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to be publicly named.

Merkel seems poised and relaxed, though the Oval Office is not her turf. Trump is leaning forward with his hands between his knees, looking tense and out of place, as if he’s not comfortable with the whole situation.

During his meeting with Obama, he had a similar posture.

Reports in the press say he doesn’t like walking long distances to meetings in the WH, and he may feel a certain hostility there, as well. Emolu-Lago is *his* property, where he is the boss. Ditto Trump Towers, though I think Melania gives him a frosty reception when he visits.

Narcissists like Twitler can’t ever admit being wrong. No matter what evidence is provided, he’ll refuse to accept it. Worse, he won’t be discouraged from trusting his right wing sources of information instead of the massive intelligence apparatus under his control.

I’d love for Obama to sue for libel and defamation. He won’t do it, because he respects the office of the Presidency too much. But I’d love to see it, just to have Cheeto Benito go ballistic.

Oh, I posted a picture of the perfect Trump era decorations in an earlier thread, but borked the link. Trying again:

Fireproof human skulls for your gas fireplace, barbecue or firepit

[Embedded content]

oh, i wouldn’t be at all surprised if Obama sues him for libel. At the moment, anything he does could potentially be met with Trump offering some mealy-mouthed non-apology apology, and because the bar for libel is so high with famous people, he could probably get away with that. Obama will wait until the rock has rolled all the way down the hill, when Trump has had numerous opportunities to offer up a sincere apology without doing so, and then he’ll hit him with a billion-dollar libel suit, all of which Obama will tell the world will go to charity. Then there won’t be any of that preliminary court bullshit where the judge tries hard to get both sides to enter into some amicable pre-trial settlement to save everyone a trial, and Obama will be able to say “the defendant had numerous opportunities to avoid litigation. Nothing he says at this point can be believed as a sincere effort at rapprochement. Defendant has routinely stated his net worth is 10 billion dollars. We feel that demanding 10% of that by way of damages is fair, given the gravity of his attack both against plaintiff and, through that attack, on the country as a whole.”

It turns out my sister’s wife of many years has developed a particularly nasty case of cancer which has wiped out their savings and retirement plans, and threatens my sister-in-law’s life.

My sister-in-law is now in a promising trial, but such things are exceedingly expensive. (I’ll leave it up to the class about what this garden-variety socialist thinks of capitalistic medical care in a First World nation - suffice to say Zombie Eyed Granny Starver’s budget plans will create a lot more of this.)

My sister launched a GoFundMe account a couple months ago. I put the link behind the privacy bar because (a) privacy and (b) Mr. Johnson might not really like his LGF platform used for private medical bill fundraising (if so, blow this comment off the site and let me know and I won’t do such a thing again).

My sister’s updates on the link explain what is going on with my sister-in-law’s treatment.

There is a woman on our village library board who’s husband died two years ago.

They used to own a huge ranch in the north of the county. Cancer treatments were so expensive that not only did they have to sell their ranch and cattle for payments, but the county also held a fundraiser and businesses in the area donated things for an auction to raise further money.

She now lives in a tinier house than I do here in the village - savings and retirement completely wiped out.

I see on the the Wesearchr’s website that the whole point of funding the defense of the alleged prep is that they believe trolling is a First Amendment right.

Hate to break it to you clowns, but Freedom of Speect does not protect you against criminal acts. IANAL, but tince it was well publicized that Eichenwald suffered from a visually-induced seizure disorder, and by the evidence seized in the execution of the search warrant that it was prima facie the intent of the alleged perp that it was his intent to induce a seizure, I don’t see how he has a leg to stand on trying to use the First Amendment as any form of defense-and the risk of going to trial ratchets up the stakes that much higher. Furthermore, The Rage Furby stated that at the time Eichenwald read the tweet, Eichenwald was drinking, had not been taking his meds and was tired-how in the fuck does he know that shit-or is just the Ginger Avenger stirring up the pot with another falsehoold?

He goes three days only eating a hero sandwich his panhandler friend got him.

There is Melania - who our taxmoney goes to support to keep her in a gilt tower in Manhattan on the dubious claim she doesn’t want to pull her son out of school in the middle of the year (never met a military person I guess - I didn’t have that choice with my son).

There is Tiffany (Trump’s daughter via Marla Maples), who I don’t know a whole lot about but I understand stays as far away from Donald Trump as she can.

Well, I was more to the point that the “original Greek” isn’t original. It’s a transliteration of the Aramaic by Jesus’ educated friends, who could write. And so began the chain of translations that has continued for 2000 years.

re: #291 thedopefishlives

Sergey and I went around and around… over a year in duration I think… deconstructing the entire Synoptic Gospel problem, the Historical Jesus problem, etc.

My extra short summary: there is no reason to believe the original Gospels were written in anything but Greek. They, or rather, the original material, were written by Greek speaker(s) for a Greek audience. The Gospels are a synthesis of religious ideas from the Jewish diaspora into the worldview of the Greek philosophical world, and my position further is that the Gospels are cast into a form for plays, a form of theatre for the religious community, as most would have been illiterate.

So, it doesn’t really make much sense to argue over what some original Jesus would have done or said. What we have today is a religious synthesis of various ideas that stretch all the way back to early polytheism.

Son of Erick and his ilk are just working their marks, over and over again.

Arrow did a much better job with the rich man’s son returning from the dead shtick. This Iron Fist plotting moves as slow as a Rachel Maddow opening. I’ll try a few more eps, but I’m thinking they’re going to need new writers if they intend to continue to another season.

Arrow brought back Oliver Queen from the dead, reintroduced him to his mom, sis and friends, and immediately got him to work doing vigilante stuff all within 42 minutes.

Iron Fist spends an hour bringing Danny Rand back from the dead, introduces him to two old friends who don’t believe he’s Danny Rand, dead guy, a female martial artist (Colleen Wing) who blows him off, and a homeless guy. And that’s about it. There is some kung fu action, but no Iron Fisting.

“…It works for 56-year-old Linda Preast, who signed up for the program two years ago after a stroke left her in a wheelchair. Meals on Wheels delivers to her every weekday. Like most residents in Jones County, she voted for Donald Trump.

“Are you surprised?” Miller asked.

“Yeah,” Preast said. “Because he was told- I was under the influence that he was going to help us.”

“What would you say to him to convince him not to cut this program?” Miller asked.

“What if it was your momma?” Preast said.

Bloomberg: Russia’s Alfa Bank Says Cyberattacks Falsely Tie It to Trump

Alfa Bank said it was a victim of hackers intent on giving a false impression that the Russian lender has communicated with the Trump Organization, and it’s asking U.S. law enforcement authorities for help.

The bank said Friday that it was hit by three attempted domain name server (DNS) attacks since mid-February. Unidentified individuals made DNS requests to a Trump Organization server disguised to look as if they came from Alfa Bank, prompting responses from the Trump server back to the lender, the bank said in a statement. The DNS attacks came from individuals using U.S. servers, including some hosted by Google and Amazon, the bank said.

Alfa Bank said it had offered U.S. law enforcement agencies its full cooperation to track down the people behind the suspected cyberattacks. It has separately hired a U.S. cyber forensics firm, Stroz Friedberg, to investigate the attacks.

“The cyberattacks are an attempt by unknown parties to manufacture the illusion of contact between Alfa Bank’s DNS servers and ‘Trump servers,’ ” an Alfa Bank representative said in a statement. “We have gone to the U.S. Justice Department and offered our complete cooperation to get to the bottom of this sham and fraud.”

New Questions

Granted, DNS looks are somewhat innocuous on their own. But if other ports get opened (say, FTP/SFTP/HTTPS/RDP), then the plot thickens…

AP: Sen. Joni Ernst faces hostile crowd at town hall meetings

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst met with confrontational crowds in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids Friday where she was repeatedly shouted down and booed over the GOP health care reform plan, an issue which dominated both meetings.

Protest signs dotted the Des Moines audience including those which said “Poverty is not a choice,” ”Health Care For All” and “Investigate Trump.”

She drew applause at both meetings when she said Donald Trump should release his tax returns.

However, for much of the hour-long meetings in a packed 1,100-seat auditorium at Coe College in Cedar Rapids and a nearly full 780-seat room at Drake University in Des Moines, she endured shouting and booing.

Ernst drew laughter and booing when she said many of the millions of people likely to lose insurance under the House GOP health care bill will willingly chose not to buy insurance once the mandates under the current law are lifted.

“We need clarification on how many of those are folks that will choose not to engage in health care,” she said, interrupted by shouts of “read the report.” She answered back, “I do have the report, thank you.”

Another questioner in Cedar Rapids said more Iowans support keeping the Affordable Care Act than repealing it, asking: “How do you sleep at night knowing you’re pursuing a partisan agenda on these issues and others instead of following the will of your constituents?”

While I’m sure we all appreciate the attention and the sympathy, it is a bit disturbing to see the extreme focus devoted by the US media to French crimes, looking with barely disguised ghoulish glee for any possible connection to jihadism.

Yesterday’s shooting in Grasse was by a disturbed teenager, and thanks to our gun laws, there were only 4 persons lightly wounded directly (+ 4 in the ensuing panic).

Today’s Orly event was a petty criminal who was on the lam from the police after exchanging shots yesterday.

Last year we had something like 40 dead in Marseille due to various drug dealers settling accounts etc. A number of them, I’m sure, had Arab-sounding patronyms; yet none of this is related to jihadism, and frankly it’s been going on for a while.

Advertising a huge increase in military spending is not the right way to convince people to fork out more money to NATO.

“We are going to decrease spending so we need you to kick in more $$” would have been the logical play.

Besides, France is the world’s 3rd largest nuclear power (before China) and I’m sure they’d support Germany if needed.

I dare any so-called journalist who makes it into the WH Press room to ask Trump or Spicer about this incident:

At least 40 Somali refugees killed by air strike off Yemen coast: UNHCR

At least 40 Somali refugees were killed off the coast of Yemen late on Thursday when a helicopter attacked the boat they were traveling in, the United Nations refugee agency said.

Mohamed al-Alay, a coast guard officer in the Houthi-controlled Hodeidah area, told Reuters the refugees, carrying official UNHCR documents, were on their way from Yemen to Sudan when they were attacked by an Apache helicopter near the Bab al-Mandeb strait.

[…]

So, if it wasn’t us… or someone to whom we sold this helicopter (was it???), then it was someone who bought said helicopter on the used market?

The Saudi-led coalition that is fighting Houthi forces in Yemen said it did not conduct any operations or have any engagement in the Hodeidah area on Thursday.

They claim.

I doubt Trump even cares. He’s not to be bothered with the slaughtering of civilians.

“…On Saturday Ivo Daalder, who was permanent representative to Nato from 2009 to 2013, respond to Trump in a series of Tweets.

“Sorry, Mr President, that’s not how Nato works,” he wrote. “The US decides for itself how much it contributes to defending Nato. This is not a financial transaction, where Nato countries pay the US to defend them. It is part of our treaty commitment.

“All Nato countries, including Germany, have committed to spend 2% of GDP on defense by 2024. So far five of 28 Nato countries do. Those who currently don’t spend 2% of their GDP on defense are now increasing their defense budgets. That’s a good thing.
But no funds will be paid to the US. They are meant to increase Nato’s overall defense capabilities, given the growing Russian threat. Europe must spend more on defense, but not as favor (or payment) to the US. But because their security requires it.”

Absolutely right. Indeed, even the evidence for Jesus’ existence is very scarce, much less that he said most of the things ascribed to him in the gospels.

As to whether Erickson misinterprets the gospels, it’s not a given. Historically that verse about the poor has been interpreted both ways.
