Nunes Memo is Moronic, Juvenile Hypocrisy

The absurdity of the Nunes Memo

I am so furious at the moronic intellectual dishonesty. Of what relevance is it who paid for the Dossier? What matters is whether the Dossier is true. Am I wrong?

The GOP is making the specious point that the Dossier was also used as part of the justification for the FISA warrant, and therefore the Judge should have been advised that it was paid for by democrats, as though therefore it was invalid as a source of probable cause. This is an absurd argument. Police often get information from people who are snitches or informing criminals and use them for warrants. I am not comparing HRC or the DNC to snitches and informing criminals, but I am saying who paid for the Dossier, or their motivation, is not relevant if the information is reliable, which it was at the time the FISA warrants were issued (because there was corroboration) and because having a motive does not make information false or unreliable. Lastly, the accuracy of the information in the Dossier was proven by the guilty pleas of the very same people the FISA warrants were directed at. Also, the DNC having a motive does not automatically make the authors of the Dossier liars.

And if the original people who were the subjects of the FISA warrants pled guilty, doesn't that sort of prove that the FISA warrants were reasonable and that seeking them was justified?

What a dishonest, hypocritical, juvenile desperate argument by the GOP.

President Trump's Anti-Semitic Slur of the Jewish People

The actions of the President of the United States, while insane and unhinged, were a disgusting anti-semitic slur on the Jewish people (and other groups with which I stand in absolute solidarity) today, and in the most vehement ways possible I condemn and denounce him.

No Mr. President, the people who were protesting (allegedly the removal of the statue of Robert E Lee) were all racist anti-semitic neo-nazis, KKK members, and other flavors of violent White Supremacists. As they always do, they came armed and looking for violence, and they did indeed instigate that violence, resulting in the murder of a young innocent woman, and unfortunately, this is far from the first time this has happened. You have wasted more breathe defending these hate mongers then your trivial insincere tweet about her death.

Trump Blows it with China

As many of you know, I live in China. I read the Chinese news every day. I speak to nationalistic Chinese. I speak to [Communist] Party Members. The TPP was a shot against "over the bow" of China who (perhaps rightfully) is seeking dominance in many areas, especially in the pacific region. The TPP excluded China, and this pissed China off and directly threatened their dominance in trade. They have tried to come up with alternative arrangements to compete with the TPP. Yes, it was a trade deal, and "trade deals" have gotten a bad, and partly undeserved, partly deserved, reputation. But this deal was very different, especially as it gave the USA some added leverage over China.
