Politikk, religion og samfunn President Donald J. Trump - Quo vadis? (Del 2)

[Billbob]

Den gangen man trodde Sarah Palin var det klart dummeste GOP hadde å by på, det var tider.

 

[4-string]

Det som var av ledende republikanere tok avstand fra Trump før valget i 2016. Da han vant gikk de fleste i kne for sin nye fører. W sa, til hans ære, at «That was some weird shit» etter Trumps innsettelsestale, og har copyright på den beskrivelsen. De vet jo at mannen er uegnet, men han ble valgt. Forskjellen nå er at de sier de vil stemme på hans motstander, offentlig og i god tid.

Akkurat Cheney sa dette i 2016, før Trump hadde vunnet nominasjonskampen:

Cheney told CNN he would support Trump as the nominee but previously called the New Yorker a “liberal Democrat.” (May 6)

Here's a Ranking of Republican Reactions to Trump

From "Sad!" to "Yuuge."

De så vel Trump som den som kunne gi dem seier, og det var vel det viktigste. Forøvrig er jo George W's uttalelse god.

Her er hans syn på det å spille golf når man er Commander in Chief:

Det sier litt om hvordan verden har endret seg med Trump når George W. Bush plutselig fremstår som en hedersmann.

Mange sier han er en mye bedre eks-president enn president, og det kan vel være noe i det.
Om en ser hele dette intervjuet virker han både oppegående og selvironisk.

Bortsett fra Trump har vel de fleste presidenter vært regna som bedre xpresidenter enn presidenter.
Selv Nixon har jo etterhvert fått et bra ettermæle.

Ufortjent sådan

Fra søttitallet til for et par år sia har både vesten og Kina tjent på åpning i handel.
Det åpna Nixon for.
Hva som skjer nå og framover hvem veit.

Da Nixon døde skrev Hunter S Thompson et minneord titulert "He was a crook". Jeg anbefaler alle å lese det.

"He was a cheap crook and a merciless war criminal who bombed more people to death in Laos and Cambodia than the U.S. Army lost in all of World War II, and he denied it to the day of his death."

Nixon's fingre i været og uttrykket" I'm not a crook" er historisk.
Hans krig ikke bare i Vietnam, men ulovlig i Kambodsja og Laos er velkjent.
Men hans åpning for å handle med Kina skal man ikke kimse av, min tablet og sikkert Hifisentralens server er sikkert China made

Great description of modern sosial media.

 

[Hardingfele]

Sanewashing er blitt et begrep, altså å gjengi sludderet som kommer ut av Trumps munn som sammenhengende og "sane". En del journalister får kritikk for å ha begått klokvasking av sprøyt.


According to the dictionary — well, the Urban Dictionary, at least — the term '“sanewashing” has been around since 2020. But I only encountered it in the past couple of weeks as a few smart commentators have started using it to describe the way journalists translate the rambling and nonsensical “word salad” that Donald Trump cooks up and turn it into something coherent.
Giving credit where due, Parker Molloy, Michael Tomasky, Aaron Rupar and Greg Sargent have all written about this perceptively. (There no doubt are others — “don’t at me,” as we say in social-media world as we sink into a defensive crouch.)
Tomasky describes Trump’s “half sentences that suddenly veer off toward a distant galaxy, the asides that limn the virtues of Hannibal Lecter.” Maybe you heard his shark speech about battery-powered boats, or even saw the brilliant comic, Sarah Cooper, as she riffed on it.
Like whitewashing a fence, sanewashing a speech covers a multitude of problems. The Urban Dictionary definition: Attempting to downplay a person or idea’s radicality to make it more palatable to the general public … a portmanteau of “sane” plus “whitewashing.”
Here, as an example, is a Politico news alert that summarizes a recent Trump speech: “Trump laid out a sweeping vision of lower taxes, higher tariffs and light-touch regulation in a speech to top Wall Streets execs today.”
As writer Thor Benson quipped on Twitter: “I hope the press is this nice to me if I ever do a speech where no one can tell if I just had a stroke or not.”

The power of a single word about media malfeasance

It's 'sanewashing' — and it's what journalists keep doing for Trump

Av ren nysgjerrighet plugget jeg inn mine egne GRE scores i en tilsvarende, og det ble ikke så verst, det heller. Med en korrelasjon på 85 % eller så mellom slike standardiserte tester og IQ score er det ikke opplagt at musk er statistisk signifikant smartere enn f eks meg. Og min kone vil attestere at jeg som regel er nokså teit.

En liste med selskaper som fortsatt gir penger til politiske aktører som forsøkte kuppe valget i 2020.
Våpen, olje, medisin og bank var ikke overraskende. Toyota, Sony m.fl. derimot var jeg ikke forberedd på skulle delta på en slik liste.

In the wake of the Capitol insurrection on January 6th, nearly two hundred corporations and industry groups said they would pause or altogether stop making political contributions to the 147 members of Congress who voted against certifying the election and continue to propagate the Big Lie that led to the attack. In the months since, corporate and industry interests have had to choose whether to do their part to uphold our democracy by turning off the flow of corporate donations to these members, also known as the Sedition Caucus, or to continue to support them and the main Republican party committees in order to seek political influence.

Many have failed this test, some reneging on a promise to change their giving while others made no commitment and are giving like nothing ever happened. By continuing to fund members of Congress who would undermine American democracy, these corporations and industry groups are sacrificing democratic government for access and influence. These members of Congress should renounce their votes against certifying the election and commit to respecting the 2020 election, future elections, and our democratic system, and corporations and industry groups should demand that they do so.

This sedition is brought to you by... - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

Corporations and industry groups are filling the coffers of political committees tied to the so-called Sedition Caucus — creating one of the biggest obstacles to holding these members accountable for their actions. It’s time to call them out.

Hvis det skulle gå så ille at han blir valgt har han sin egen lille karavane klar til å rykke inn.

Here is what will happen on day one of Trump’s presidency, according to Project 2025 | Daniel Martinez HoSang

As Trump utters the last phrase of the oath of office – ‘so help me God’ – the first phase of what Project 2025’s authors call ‘the playbook’ begins

www.theguardian.com

First come the firings. Thousands of federal, non-partisan civil servants –environmental and food safety regulators; authorities in disaster relief coordination; attorneys overseeing anti-discrimination policies in housing, education and employment; medical and scientific researchers – receive immediate layoff notices. Many will not be replaced, as entire federal programs and agencies are shuttered. The new personnel that do arrive come from conservative thinktanks, or are rightwing activists who applied through the Project 2025 application database. Political cronyism is now the official hiring policy of the US federal government.

Next come the roundups. As drafted by the Maga nativist-in-chief Stephen Miller, a broad range of law enforcement, from the national guard to state and local police are deputized for a new deportation army. Sweeps of neighborhoods and businesses take aim at blue states and cities, but general terror is their intended goal. Detention centers are established on military bases and federal facilities with quick access to airfields to execute mass removals. Nearly a million lawfully present immigrants are stripped of their legal protections, subjecting them to immediate deportation. An end to Daca and a return of the Muslim ban follow.

In the following months other parts of the agenda unfold. Cuts in corporate taxes so generous they would make the robber barons blush. An end to federal funding for public television and radio that forces many local stations to shutter. The termination of Head Start programs leaves hundreds of thousands of parents and guardians without preschool or childcare. The elimination of the Department of Education and programs like Title I halt funding and many protections for students with disabilities, English learners and students from low-income households.

Pornography is criminalized. Ditto for abortion rights, emergency contraception and many reproductive health programs. Adiós also to most public sector unions, labor organizing rights and anti-poverty programs.

De mener det. På orntli’. Det minner mest av alt om NSDAP’s maktovertakelse i 1933.

The Trump campaign pushed unfounded online rumors in a mailer sent out Monday that Haitian migrants in Ohio were eating pets, using the story as a political attack line to accuse Vice President Kamala Harris of failing on immigration policies, citing tweets as evidence.

The email claims, among other alleged crimes, that Haitian immigrants have “reportedly been caught ‘decapitating ducks’ and hunting geese and other livestock in public parks — and even kidnapping residents’ pets — then eating them.”

The campaign email came on Monday soon after former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), also amplified the claims when he shared a clip of himself discussing “the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants,” whom he accused of “draining social services and generally causing chaos in Springfield, Ohio.”

He added: “Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.”

Det kan bli en interessant debatt i Philadelphia i kveld.

 

[Hardingfele]

Her er status i poll-of-polls, som viser at det ikke er jevnt fremdeles, men at Harris beholder en ledelse. Under hovedoversikten kan man se hvilke meningsmålinger dette bygger på, og man ser at NYT/Sienas meningsmåling er en outlier. Den skal tas alvorlig, men Demokratene ligger langt bedre an nå enn de gjorde da Biden var kandidaten.

I natt (norsk tid) er det debatt. Den blir viktig og kanskje avgjørende.

Øh, hvordan er den videoen relevant? Hun som ringer inn til 911 snakker engelsk med amerikansk aksent og sier at det er kusina hennes som har drept katten. På Haiti snakker folk fransk/kreol og har ikke slik aksent. Tydeligvis et mentaltilfelle og åpenbart ikke en ulovlig immigrant fra Haiti.

Edit: Det er tydeligvis allerede kjent hvem som er i den videoen. Innvandring burde jo være en sterk sak for Trumpkampanjen, men her gjør de også det til en parodi. Og Donald Trump selv er vel omtrent den siste personen i verden jeg ville satt til å passe kattene mine.

Trump overtalte jo republikanerne til å stemme imot grenseforslaget de selv hadde mast på fordi han mente det ville tjene ham i valgkampen.

Enig i at innvandring i utgangspunktet burde være en god sak for republikanerne, men de har jo fullstendig underminert seg selv i den saken.

Very stable genius.
