Re: Hello Dante? What Level Is This?
A thread by David Rothkopf via @threadreaderapp
I'm in the middle of finishing up a book on the Trump presidency and how the courage and dedication of many career public servants and Trump political appointees kept us from much worse outcomes that Trump and his inner circle thought.
This is true from immigration to COVID to Russia/Ukraine to elections. My thesis based on 30 years of DC experience is that the vast majority of the people in most administrations are fundamentally good and genuinely seek to serve the American people and the country.
But, I will tell you something--looking at what Trump wanted to do (and often was rebuffed from doing) in retrospect is even more shocking than it was at the time. Because, particularly in international affairs, there was a pattern.
He actively wanted to pull the US out of NATO. He actively attacked the alliance. He pushed a plan to pull U.S. troops out of Europe. He pushed plans to pull U.S. troops out of Asia and the Pacific and out of the Middle East.
He effectively sought to hand Syria to the control of Russia and Russia's allies. He pulled out of arms deals that constrained the Russians. He pulled out of an Iran deal that constrained a key ally of Russia.
He pulled out of multiple international organizations and sought to actively weaken the international order that had been created to contain our enemies and promote the rule of law internationally. He tried to block aid to Ukraine. (You may remember he was impeached for that.)
He pushed to stop holding Russia accountable for 2016 election interference. He made it so hard for his staff to raise issues regarding being tough on Russia that they regularly simply by-passed him. And when they did take a tough stance there was often Hell to pay with the boss.
He celebrated Putin publicly and privately. He offered out of his own mouth Putin talking points on key issues such as Crimea "wanting" to be Russian. Even if you did not know that Putin actively tried to help him be elected (as the intel community unanimously concluded),
even if he did not surround himself with pro-Putin lackeys, even if his businesses were not swimming in Russian money, even if he did not try to block measures to make it harder for the government to stop Russian interference in 2018 and 2020, the record is clear and shocking.
The pattern of behavior is undeniable. The consequences were he to have succeeded in pushing his agenda and some of his wild ideas through would have been disastrous for the US and spectacular for Vladimir Putin. And all this was before the first attempted coup in US history.
All this was before Trump tried to blow up the very foundations of America's system and our strength. If you are a Trump supporter you will have stopped reading long ago, the "Russia Hoax" filter in your brain denying you yet again access to the facts.
But if you look at not just what Trump did but what he tried to do (before he was stopped by good patriotic Americans including many who he had appointed to high positions) and you will see that the core and the primary occupation of Trump when it came to foreign policy was...
...to weaken the U.S., to weaken our alliances, to weaken the international system and to strengthen and often defend the position of Russia. Don't take it from me in this thread. Go read the facts. To me, as I finish this book, as familiar as I am with all of it, it is shocking.
p.s. When I said at the top I was finishing up a book, I meant I was finishing up writing a book rather than reading a book...
p.p.s. I am a collusionist, ok? I believe Trump colluded w/the Russians to seek help getting elected. But that's NOT what is important. What's important, regardless of the reason he was actively systematically weakening us & advancing the Russian agenda, is that he was doing it.

The correct thread for Chuck Todd's nonsense. Every time they make scheduling changes to the MSNBC lineup, I'm disappointed.

Senate Republicans threaten to slow efforts to fund federal agencies, deliver aid to Ukraine
With a deadline looming next week to avoid a government shutdown, GOP concerns over federal spending and vaccine mandates imperil funding bill
By Tony Romm
Today at 12:30 p.m. EST
Senate Republicans have issued a series of early threats against a still-forming deal to fund the federal government, signaling that they could delay the package — which may include emergency aid to Ukraine — over concerns about excessive spending and vaccine mandates.
The early warnings, delivered in two letters to Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), could slow lawmakers’ time-sensitive work as Russia’s incursion into Ukraine is intensifying — all while Washington faces a March 11 deadline to fund federal agencies and avoid a government shutdown.
In the first letter, sent Thursday, eight GOP lawmakers complained that “families are feeling the pressure of skyrocketing prices,” which they blamed on “reckless government spending.” In response, they said they “cannot allow another massive spending package to be rushed through Congress without proper consideration and scrutiny.”
The letter demanded “appropriate time” to read and review any funding bill. It also called for an official analysis by the Congressional Budget Office to assess the impact of the legislation on inflation and the federal debt. And it signaled that Senate Republicans could withhold their votes if their terms are not met, potentially slowing debate to a crawl.
“Until we can fully understand what is in any potential [spending] bill, its impact on the fiscal strength of the United States, and how it will influence our nation’s growing inflation crisis, we should not vote on it,” they wrote.
Signing the missive were Republican Sens. Rick Scott (Fla.), Cynthia M. Lummis (Wyo.), Ted Cruz (Tex.), Roger Marshall (Kansas), Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Mike Braun (Ind.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mike Lee (Utah).
In the second note, sent Friday, 10 Republicans revived their campaign against federal vaccine and testing requirements. Even as public health officials broadly maintain that the policies help curtail the spread of the coronavirus, the GOP lawmakers pledged they would “stand against these mandates until they are discontinued in ambition, design and practice.”
Specifically, the Republicans promised to block lawmakers from forging ahead swiftly to pass the bill if it funds implementation of mandates. They said “at the very least” they would “require a roll-call vote on an amendment that defunds enforcement,” a move Republicans have demanded in other recent government funding fights.
The second missive was signed by some of the same Republicans, plus Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Steve Daines (Mont.).
While it is unclear how far Senate Republicans might take their latest threats, their twin missives added to the challenges facing congressional leaders as they seek to cobble together a long-term government funding deal, a goal that has eluded them for months. Both sides insist they do not want a shutdown, although their bickering — intensified by GOP demands — repeatedly has pushed the country to the brink over the past year.
For now, Democrats and Republicans say they are making progress on a long-term deal, which could include massive increases in spending at key domestic agencies as well as the Pentagon. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) previously has said that he hopes to hold a vote on the package, known in congressional parlance as an omnibus, as soon as Tuesday, leaving the Senate a short window to act before the March 11 deadline.
Their efforts have gained greater urgency as result of Russia’s intensifying invasion of Ukraine, since lawmakers in both parties see the funding measure as an opportunity to deliver billions of dollars in new humanitarian and military assistance. Senior administration aides this week requested about $10 billion in emergency funding for Ukraine, which some Democrats and Republicans hope to augment with further punishments against Russia, including new limits on imports of Russian oil.
On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed U.S. lawmakers via Zoom and pleaded for more assistance to his war-torn nation. His request included the provision of additional lethal aid, as well as support for a global effort to stop buying Russian oil.
Exiting the call, Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) said Zelensky’s “call to action must lead to swift passage by Congress of the $10 billion in emergency supplemental aid.”
Cruz, Lee and some other Republicans issuing threats against the spending bill have a history of using government funding battles to advance political objectives. Recently, the duo has forced Democrats to hold a series of ill-fated votes targeting President Biden’s policies requiring coronavirus vaccines and testing, nearly pushing the government to shut down.
Scott, meanwhile, has found himself at odds in recent days with some members of his own party over his economic plan, released in February. That proposal has drawn objections from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), among others, and Scott on Friday fired off an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal criticizing “Beltway cowardice” over government spending.
Earlier in the week, a wider array of Republicans issued the first warnings against the omnibus, telling Democrats they may not be able to support a spending deal that provides billions of dollars in fresh coronavirus aid. The lawmakers said they wanted a fuller accounting of how previous aid had been spent before considering new sums.
The Biden administration has said it needs more than $22 billion to prepare for future waves of the pandemic.

We can change our country name from United States of America to Divided States of America as Republicans do not want to agree to anything bucking the government in the process led by DeSantis, who had a tantrum to Middleton High School students wearing mask to a presser and Abbott, no comments for him on his transgender policy.ti-amie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 8:03 pm Senate Republicans threaten to slow efforts to fund federal agencies, deliver aid to Ukraine

Re: Hello Dante? What Level Is This?
It will be the downfall of your country. When you get to the state in which one party simply opposes anything and everything the other party proposes, simply because the sole point to be made is to get elected and the best way to get elected is to say the other party does nothing (because you blocked them), eventually you will get to a non-functioning society.
And this ploy of "we need to raise the debt ceiling" and then the other party says "no" is getting tiresome.

Colorado clerk is indicted for election tampering and misconduct
Updated March 9, 20221:09 PM ET
BENTE BIRKELAND
A grand jury in Colorado has indicted Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and her deputy on counts related to election tampering and misconduct.
The indictment of Peters and Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley on felony and misdemeanor charges stems from an election security breach in their office last year.
In May 2021, Peters allowed an unauthorized person access to the county's voting machines. That person posted sensitive information related to the equipment online.
The 10 counts against Peters include: attempting to influence a public service, criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, identity theft, official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state.
In a joint statement announcing the indictment, Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said: "This investigation is ongoing, and other defendants may be charged as we learn more information. We remind everyone that these are allegations at this point and that they are presumed innocent until proven guilty."
A request for comment from Peters has not been returned.
The county uses voting equipment from Dominion Voting Systems, the company at the heart of many of former President Donald Trump's conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Peters subsequently spoke at an event hosted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a key booster of those conspiracy theories.

Peters, a Republican, is running for secretary of state in Colorado, a position that would involve supervising the state's elections. Incumbent Democrat Jena Griswold has been a driving force in the investigation against Peters.
Peters has been removed from her role overseeing elections in Mesa County, a conservative part of western Colorado.
