The Tale Of A Tool

Donald Trump has a toolbox that contains only one tool. That tool is his mouth.  Throughout his life, he has used his tool to lie and con others into giving or doing for him whatever he wants.

The cartoon below shows exactly how his con works. It always begins with a veiled threat of using a power he does not really have, but which he will have if and when his con works...

But wait! There's more.

In truth, Donald Trump is himself a tool. He is the tool of Mitch McConnell and the right-wing zealots of the Republican party. They are using The Don to further a decades-long plan to create a permanent, single-party government in America. 

Don't be a tool.

Toss Donald Trump and those using him into the trash bin of history in November.

Burial Plot

Earlier this month the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in cases involving Trump's tax records.

Their decision is expected in June, and the ruling they make will likely determine whether America survives as a republic or becomes a dictatorship.

The GOP has been torching the Constitution for decades and constructing a small coffin just big enough for an urn containing its ashes.

They rigged the Supreme Court and expect five, hand-picked, conservative justices to put a stamp of approval on Trump's corruption with their June decision.

A ruling against the release of Trump's subpoenaed financial documents would put the final nail in the small coffin.

But don't fret, folks.

We'll all be treated to a spectacular, televised burial service - the best burial service ever - with flags, Bibles, official proclamations praising the superiority of conservative values, and calls for thoughts and prayers for the soul of the dearly departed from self-righteous "christian" mis-leaders.

The best funeral ever - an unbelievably incredible event - spectacular - nothing ever like it in the history of the world - and Donald Trump will host it as America's Supreme Leader.

Obamagate Explained

The Accusation

Days after tweeting about 'Obamagate' and accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of committing crimes, US president Donald Trump was asked to specify what those exactly were. He replied: 'Obamagate, it's been going on for a long time, it's being going on from even before I got elected and it's a disgrace that it's gone on.' He continued: 'some terrible things happened and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again.' When he is again asked what the crime is, Trump says: 'You know what the crime is.'

Plaintiff in Roe v. Wade U.S. abortion case says she was paid to switch sides
Jill Serjeant 3 MIN READ

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Norma McCorvey, the woman known as “Jane Roe” in the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion, said she was lying when she switched to support the anti-abortion movement, saying she had been paid to do so.

In a new documentary, made before her death in 2017 and due to be broadcast on Friday, McCorvey makes what she calls a “deathbed confession.”

“I took their money and they took me out in front of the cameras and told me what to say,” she says on camera. “I did it well too. I am a good actress. Of course, I’m not acting now.”

“If a young woman wants to have an abortion, that’s no skin off my ass. That’s why they call it choice,” she added.

“AKA Jane Roe,” will be broadcast on the FX cable channel on Friday but was made available to television journalists in advance.

It traces McCorvey’s troubled youth, how she became the poster child of abortion rights and her about-face in the 1990s when she announced she was baptized as a born-again Christian who campaigned against abortion.

The documentary was filmed in the last months of her life before her death at age 69 in 2017 in Texas.

The 1973 Supreme Court ruling has for decades been the focus of a divisive political, legal and moral debate.

The Rev. Robert Schenck, one of the evangelical pastors who worked with McCorvey after her conversion to Christianity in the mid-1990s, looked stunned as he was shown her interview as part of the documentary. 

Schenck said the anti-abortion movement had exploited her weaknesses for its own ends and acknowledged she had been paid for her appearances on the movement’s behalf.

“What we did with Norma was highly unethical,” Schenck said in the documentary. “The jig is up.”

In a separate blog post on Tuesday, Schenck said he hoped people would watch “AKA Jane Roe.”

“You’ll see me express profound regret for how movement leaders (like me) mistreated Norma,” he wrote in the blog.

“Her name and photo would command some of the largest windfalls of dollars for my group and many others, but the money we gave her was modest. More than once, I tried to make up for it with an added check, but it was never fair.”

Criminal group that hacked law firm threatens to release Trump documents
A known criminal enterprise released a large set of stolen files, at least some of which appeared legitimate.

By Kevin Collier and Diana Dasrath

A cybercriminal gang that hacked a major entertainment law firm claims it will release information on President Donald Trump if it doesn’t receive $42 million in ransom.

The group, a known criminal enterprise, didn’t offer any proof it had information compromising to Trump. It did, however, release a large set of stolen files from the law firm, Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks. NBC News reviewed some of the documents, and they appear legitimate.

The law firm said that Trump is not a client and has never been. A spokesperson for the firm said it wasn't clear which of its clients have been compromised. 

The group uses ransomware — a type of malicious software — to break into a victim’s networks and encrypt them, demanding a fee to unlock them. If the victim doesn’t pay up, the group slowly leaks out unencrypted versions of files stolen from those networks to prompt payment.

The criminal group posted on its blog a threat to publish files related to Trump.

“The next person we'll be publishing is Donald Trump. There's an election race going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry on time,” the group wrote, giving a one-week deadline. “And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don't want to see him as president.”
Though the gang tends to release legitimately hacked files, they left no clue of whether they actually had compromising information on Trump or whether this was a ploy to put more pressure on the law firm to pay.

“On the one hand, I think it’s bulls---,” said Brett Callow, who studies ransomware gangs at the antivirus company Emsisoft. “But on the other hand, getting a rep for bluffing isn’t helpful to extortionists. They need their victims to believe that their threats are real and will be carried through.”

Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks said in a statement Friday that law firms have not been immune to escalating attacks by foreign cybercriminals. “Despite our substantial investment in state-of-the-art technology security, foreign cyberterrorists have hacked into our network and are demanding $42 million as ransom," it said. "We are working directly with federal law enforcement and continue to work around the clock with the world’s leading experts to address this situation."

The White House declined to comment.

Ransomware gangs have become a persistent threat to the U.S. in recent years, and law enforcement has had difficulty stopping them. In many cases, these groups operate out of Russia, which doesn’t extradite its citizens.

“We’re pretty sure these guys operate in Russia’s ‘locus of control,’” said Allan Liska, who tracks the gang for the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.

But threatening to release files about Trump, who enjoys a cordial relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, might be a step too far, Liska said.

“If they release this stuff, it is possible they will have both U.S. Cyber Command and FSB targeting them,” Liska said, referring to Russia's Federal Security Service. “Most Russian leadership leaves them alone as long as they don’t target Russian citizens. This would probably be an exception.”

A Very Sick Genius

The man-child who talks out of both sides of his mouth on every issue in order to avoid being held responsible for anything he does is a genius at projecting his unwanted feelings about his own shortcomings onto others.

Psychologists have a term for such behavior.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

Everything he says and does confirms the accuracy of such an assessment of Donald Trump's psychological state and underscores his unsuitability to serve as president.

There is something very wrong with Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed stable genius; and, by extension, also with those who shield him from accountability as he misleads our nation.

Trump Accuses Dr. Fauci Of Wanting To 'Play All Sides' On Reopening

May 13, 20207:49 PM ET

President Trump on Wednesday criticized an administration official's caution over reopening the country too soon, especially sending children back to school.

Trump, who has bullishly recommended the country reopen to minimize the economic fallout from the virus, said he was taken aback by the cautious stance infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci expressed this week in Senate testimony.

"Look, he wants to play all sides of the equation," Trump said about Fauci's concerns over reopening too quickly. Trump said he was especially surprised by Fauci's warning not to be too cavalier about the risks to children and his assessment that a vaccine is unlikely to be ready before Fall classes begin.

"I was surprised by his answer actually, because, you know, it's just to me — it's not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools," Trump told reporters, adding that "the only thing that would be acceptable" is giving older teachers and professors a reprieve for a few weeks before returning. "But with the young children, I mean, and students, it's really — just take a look at the statistics. It's pretty amazing," Trump said.

While young people who don't have other health or immune system issues are at a significantly lower risk of dying from COVID-19, youth fatalities from the disease have been recorded, as have additional complications.

This is not the first time Trump and Fauci have publicly disagreed on the nation's coronavirus response.

Last month in an interview with CNN, Fauci seemed to imply that had the administration acted sooner to implement federal social distancing rules, fewer people might have died from the disease.

Trump later retweeted a message from a supporter that read in part: "Time to #FireFauci," sparking speculation of a shake-up within the coronavirus task force.

Fauci later said he had made a poor choice of words, and Trump said he had no intention of removing the doctor from the pandemic response team.

A rash of positive tests within the president's orbit have also sent the White House into mitigation mode, with several coronavirus task force officials opting to self isolate and the West Wing implementing a new rule that staffers wear masks in the building when away from their desks.

During Wednesday's remarks, Trump also spoke about his vice president, who chairs the coronavirus task force.

"I haven't seen Mike Pence, and I miss him, but he was in the room with somebody that tested positive," Trump said.

Pence's spokeswoman, Katie Miller, who is married to Trump adviser Stephen Miller, last week tested positive for coronavirus, shortly after a military valet for the president also tested positive for the virus.

The Trump Virus

Most people know that disease causing viruses continuously mutate into new strains which are immune to medicines which worked on their predecessors. This is why people need a flu shot every year.

Now Americans are slowly realizing that Donald Trump's ever-shifting response to the coronavirus pandemic is eerily similar to and just as dangerous as the virus itself. Trump's response is not designed to control the effects of the virus or to save lives. Instead, it mutates to immunize him against accountability for the negative effects his decisions have caused.

Combatting the mutating Trump virus is difficult and time-consuming; and, even if an effective vaccine arrives in November,  America will have to address the long-lasting damage it has caused.

As Deaths Mount, Trump’s Disinformation Strategy Will Adapt

Bashing the epidemiological models didn't work. Now, the administration is questioning reality itself.

PHOTOGRAPH: CHIP SOMODEVILLA/GETTY IMAGES

IN THE BEGINNING, coronavirus denialism was easy. When widespread American deaths were still confined to the rising slopes of epidemiological models, skeptics could dismiss them as alarmist predictions. That included the nation’s most prominent coronavirus truther: “Just stay calm,” Donald Trump said on March 10, “it will go away.” Two months later, as the official death count pushes above 70,000, this approach is obsolete. The future has happened, so now it’s time to question the recent past.

On Wednesday, Axios reported that Trump has been complaining privately that official Covid-19 death numbers are inflated. According to an anonymous administration official, the president will soon begin to share this idea in public. Fox News, perhaps the most trusted source of information for the president and his followers, has already pushed the “deaths are exaggerated” theory, despite the fact that official death counts almost certainly understate the true death toll, because many people are dying, often at home, without being tested. So get ready for the Covid-19 information war to open a new front.

The harder it is for scientists and public health officials to nail down precise answers, the easier it is to sow doubt.

Questioning the death toll would be a savvy tactical shift for the forces of doubt. Counting the dead from a viral pandemic can be a much messier process than, say, assessing the casualties from a terrorist attack or even a natural disaster; we will never know the exact number. A widely shared New York Times analysis defines the “real” toll by looking at the difference between expected and actual deaths from all causes in March and April. But this approach has its weaknesses. The coronavirus is not the only thing that might be affecting mortality trends. In California and Texas, for example, deaths were well below expected levels in January; does that mean there was some kind of life-extending inverse pandemic going on? If someone avoids getting treatment for a heart condition because they’re afraid of catching Covid-19, should that go into the death toll? That’s a question for philosophers as much as epidemiologists.

As a result, the highly suspect claim that the death count is exaggerated can be smuggled into saner statements such as death tolls are uncertain or the numbers that you’re seeing in the media are misleadingly precise. The irreducible element of uncertainty is a boon for skeptics, because this sort of information warfare is asymmetric. The harder it is for scientists and public health officials to nail down precise answers, the easier it is to sow doubt.

The first wave of attacks from coronavirus truthers, sniping at the models that predicted a catastrophe, were eerily similar to those used by climate change skeptics: They started by denying the forecasts, then shifted into claims about how the costs of containment would outweigh the benefits. But those tactics, which pitted current sacrifice against potential future calamity, no longer fit the situation on the ground. If you’re saying climate change will never be a problem, you might not live long enough to find out that you’re wrong. But if you said a few months ago that Covid-19 wouldn’t be a big deal in the US, well, you’ve already been debunked.

Sure, it’s possible that death-toll trutherism will crumble if states ease restrictions prematurely, and infection rates shoot up. But one should never underestimate the president’s ability, aided by Fox News, to shape his supporters’ perceptions of reality. According to a daily tracking poll by Civiqs, Republicans’ level of concern over local outbreaks peaked in early April and has plummeted over the past month, even in states that have seen a sharp increase in cases over that span. Add the disturbing fact that coronavirus deaths are disproportionately concentrated among African Americans, and it’s possible to imagine a real split emerging over the basic, if necessarily murky, question of how many people have died.

Then there’s the matter of who’s responsible for however many deaths the president concedes did happen. Like a lawyer pleading in the alternative, Trump has always presented parallel theories to the American jury: the situation isn’t as bad as everyone says; but then again, the bad situation isn’t his fault. As part of an effort to promote the latter argument, the White House has promoted a questionable origin story for the pandemic that blames it on Chinese mismanagement or malfeasance. On Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told ABC’s Martha Raddatz that he’d seen “a significant amount of evidence” that the outbreak originated in a research lab in Wuhan, and hinted that it might have been intentionally released. A few days later, he declared that “China could have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.”

As with casting doubt on the US death toll, blaming China takes advantage of conditions favorable to conspiracy theorizing. The Chinese government’s early attempts to conceal the extent of the outbreak really did hamper the global response. And it’s not crazy to think there might be a link between a lab that housed bat-borne coronaviruses and an outbreak of a bat-linked coronavirus, though so far the weight of the evidence suggests otherwise.

This presents a delicate challenge for would-be debunkers. It’s tempting to confront misleading claims with their exact opposite—yes, the official death count is precisely accurate; no, we know for sure that the virus didn’t originate in a lab—but those claims aren’t true, either. Meanwhile, picking fights about the past—how many people have already died, where the virus got its start—gives cover for the truthers’ shift in tactics. It no longer works to say the experts are panicked over nothing. Covid models aren’t great, but in the broadest sense they’ve been correct: The new coronavirus did arrive in the US, and tens of thousands or more have already died. Desperate claims to the contrary were destined to be disproven. But when it comes to arguing with skeptics over what has already happened, we can’t just wait them out.

Three Word Governance

In Donald Trump the right-wing fringe of the once-proud Republican party has found the quintessential person to advance its regressive agenda.

• Trump is a narcissist whose limited intellect matches that of its base of brainwashed supporters who proudly proclaim, "He thinks like us."

• Trump's toolbox contains a single item that, to the delight of the right-wing ideologues, happens to be the very device they have used in their nine-decade-long effort to undermine and destroy The New Deal. That device is unscrupulous rhetoric.

• Both Trump and his obsequious GOP abhor and obstruct all change save for the words they use to frame their execrable policies.

The convergence of Trump's narcissism and the unbounded lust for power of the thug controlling the Senate has turned America into a country with a government that rejects science and instead uses a three word phrase to determine the appropriate actions it will take to confront a pandemic.

• President Donald Trump thinks that too much coronavirus testing makes the US "look bad."

• "The media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing. If we did very little testing, we wouldn't have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad," Trump said on Wednesday.

• The US still lags behind other countries in terms of the share of the population tested for coronavirus.

• Public-health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have warned against reopening the country and easing coronavirus restrictions without a robust testing system in place.

If one looks beneath the surface humor, there is pathetic irony in this cartoon.

Shops advertising the services of a psychic can be found in every economically depressed neighborhood in America.

The proprietors of these shops are simply trying to make a living. That is not ironic. The irony lies in the fact that what they are selling is essentially the local version of a national lie. It is the lie of trickle-down economics which cries out,

Give me your money, and I'll share the benefits of my superior insight and ability with you.

This is the false promise of trickle-down economics.

The economically depressed neighborhoods in which the psychics find themselves are the fruit of policies written, codified, planted, and meticulously tended in order to protect white privilege by impoverishing those deemed to be "other."

I submit that there's an additional irony.

In a country that has been marinated for over thirty years in right-wing political bullshit, I suspect that any psychic who could actually see into the future would have long since bought a winning lottery ticket, become obscenely rich, moved into a gated community, and joined the ranks of those selling the national version of the trickle-down economics lie.

As perversely ironic as even that sounds, a far greater, pathetic, and dangerous irony is afoot. It is an irony as perverse and pathetic as the current occupant of the White House.

CLOSED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES

On March 19, 2020, claiming,  “Nobody knew there’d be a pandemic or an epidemic of this proportion.” Donald Trump placed the same sign found in the cartoon over any expectation that his administration might actually take responsible action in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump's claim that "nobody knew" was a lie,  of course, an easily fact-checked, self-exonorating lie:

Officials warned last year about pandemic threat.

Two top administration officials last year listed the threat of a pandemic as an issue that greatly worried them, undercutting President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the coronavirus pandemic was an unforeseen problem.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Tim Morrison, then a special assistant to the President and senior director for weapons of mass destruction and biodefense on the National Security Council, made the comments at the BioDefense Summit in April 2019.

Let Us Prey

In Kansas where confirmed COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing and have passed 4,500, a study is taking place to determine whether prayer can combat the disease.

This not the first study of the kind in Kansas. There have been other such studies, and none has ever yielded any information helpful to doctors fighting diseases.

This, however, does not seem to be the point.

Despite all previous studies of the kind, Kansans apparently want to be told that their religious mythology is more powerful than scientific research. The doctor conducting this new study is obliging them when he offers this as a justification for his study,

"A miracle could happen. There's always hope, right?"

I suppose a miracle could happen; but for my money, I'd prefer seeing the funding for this study being spent on tests for COVID-19 and PPEs for health professionals caring for the sick in Kansas.

Clinical Study Considers The Power Of Prayer To Combat COVID-19
May 1, 20208:11 PM ET
Heard on Weekend Edition Saturday
TOM GJELTEN

No vaccine or effective treatment has yet been found for people suffering from COVID-19. Under the circumstances, a physician in Kansas City wonders whether prayer might make a difference, and he has launched a scientific study to find out.

"It has to be a true supernatural intervention," says Dr. Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy.

A cardiologist at the Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, Lakkireddy is the principal investigator in a clinical trial involving 1000 patients with COVID-19 infections severe enough that they require intensive care.

The four-month study, launched on May 1, will investigate "the role of remote intercessory multi-denominational prayer on clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients," according to a description provided to the National Institutes of Health. Half of the patients, randomly chosen, will receive a "universal" prayer offered in five denominational forms, via Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism. The other 500 patients will constitute the control group. All the patients will receive the standard of care prescribed by their medical providers. Lakkireddy has assembled a steering committee of medical professionals to oversee the study.

"We all believe in science, and we also believe in faith," Lakkireddy says. "If there is a supernatural power, which a lot of us believe, would that power of prayer and divine intervention change the outcomes in a concerted fashion? That was our question."

The investigators will assess how long the patients remain on ventilators, how many suffer from organ failure, how quickly they are released from intensive care and how many die.

Lakkireddy describes himself as "born into Hinduism," but he says he attended a Catholic school and has spent time in synagogues, Buddhist monasteries, and mosques.

"I believe in the power of all religions," he says. "I think if we believe in the wonders of God and the universal good of any religion, then we've got to combine hands and join the forces of each of these faiths together for the single cause of saving humanity from this pandemic."

Scientific studies of the power of prayer have been attempted before. Lakkireddy's description of his study lists six previous clinical trials involving religious intervention. Some showed slight improvement for patients receiving prayer. Other studies have found no significant prayer effect.

Lakkireddy says he can not explain how people praying remotely for someone they don't know (or a group of people,) could actually make a difference in their health outcomes, and he acknowledges that some of his medical colleagues have had "a mixed reaction" to his study proposal.

"Even from my wife, who's a physician herself," he says. "She was skeptical. She was, like, 'OK, what is it that you're looking at?"

Lakkireddy says he has no idea what he will find. "But it's not like we're putting anyone at risk," he says. "A miracle could happen. There's always hope, right?"
