Prognose: Trump wird 2020 wieder U.S.-PrÀsident
(13. Juni 2018)
In keinem Falle kandidiert Sanders als unabhĂ€ngiger Kandidat zur PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl und / oder grĂŒndet eine neue Partei. Und in keinem Falle schafft es die demokratische Linke in den U.S.A. diese vor der PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl in 2020 zu grĂŒnden. Dies geschieht erst nach der erneuten desaströsen Niederlage der sogenannten „Demokraten“ gegen Donald Trump.
Sanders endorses Biden
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she intended to support Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but …
…the âprocess of coming together should be uncomfortable for everyone involved â thatâs how you know itâs workingâ
Piraten Niedersachsen mahnen zum Schutz der Grundrechte auch in Coronazeiten
„Auch wenn klar ist, dass diese Zeilen Teil des Antrags waren, so muss man doch die Frage stellen, warum diese Regelung ĂŒberhaupt existiert. Denn nach wie vor gilt dieses generelle Demonstrationsverbot nicht bundesweit und ist ohnehin nicht zu rechtfertigen. Mit den entsprechenden Auflagen, können selbst dann, wie vor kurzem in LĂŒneburg, Demonstrationen stattfinden [10]“, erklĂ€rt Ullrich Slusarzcyk, 2. Stellvertretender Vorsitzender der Piraten Niedersachsen. „Hier drĂ€ngt sich also der Verdacht auf, dass es nicht um die Demonstration an sich, sondern um deren Inhalt ging, der nicht gefallen hat. Und das darf es nicht geben, Meinungsfreiheit muss auch in Zeiten von Corona gelten. Zumal selbst die Polizei sagt, dass die Teilnahme an einer Demonstration nicht einmal zwingend eine Straftat sein muss.“

Lockerung der Corona-MaĂnahmen – Wer verlĂ€ngert, muss sich rechtfertigen
Viele der Eingriffe in das persönliche Leben der BundesbĂŒrger waren notwendig â und zeigen Wirkung. Aber sie sind eben auch so gravierend, wie man sie sich nie hĂ€tte vorstellen können. Deshalb sollte die Rechtfertigungslast in der öffentlichen Debatte umgekehrt werden: nicht wer sie aufheben will, muss sich zuerst rechtfertigen â sondern der, der verlĂ€ngern möchte.
White House Blasts âRidiculousâ Idea Trump Would Fire Fauci After Trump Retweets Post Calling to Fire Fauci
The state of the relationship between Trump and Fauci drew new intrigue on Sunday night after Trump went on a Twitter binge and retweeted a post bearing the hashtag #FireFauci.

FBI Ignored Early Warnings that Debunked Anti-Trump Dossier was Russian Disinformation
WASHINGTON â The âcentral and essentialâ evidence used to justify invasive surveillance of an American citizen in the FBIâs probe into Russian interference was, itself, an example of Russian interference, according to once-secret footnotes declassified at the urging of two U.S. Senators. The footnotes, part of the Justice Department Inspector Generalâs postmortem of the FBIâs flawed operation to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page, were released just hours after Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) renewed their push for transparency. The senators expect a fuller declassification in the coming days.
(…)
âItâs ironic that the Russian collusion narrative was fatally flawed because of Russian disinformation. These footnotes confirm that there was a direct Russian disinformation campaign in 2016, and there were ties between Russian intelligence and a presidential campaign â the Clinton campaign, not Trumpâs.â
The IG report detailed how the FBIâs application for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Page relied heavily on an unverified dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of Fusion GPS, which was conducting opposition research for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. According to Footnote 302, in October 2016, FBI investigators learned that one of Steeleâs main sources was linked to the Russian Intelligence Service (RIS), and was rumored to be a former KGB/SVR officer. However, the FBI neglected to include this information in its application, which the FISA court approved that same month. Two months later, investigators learned that Glenn Simpson, the head of Fusion GPS, told a Justice Department attorney that he assessed the same source âwas a RIS officer who was central in connecting Trump to Russia.â In January, the FISA warrant was renewed.
Russian Disinformation Fed the FBIâs Trump Investigation
(10.04.2020)
Declassified footnotes to a Justice Department inspector general report show that the Federal Bureau of Investigation team investigating members of the Trump campaign received classified reports in 2017 identifying key pieces of the Steele dossier as products of a Russian disinformation campaign. This might be only the tip of the iceberg because other recently declassified information demonstrates that even more disinformation may have been planted in Christopher Steeleâs reporting.
Es sind natĂŒrlich die U.S.-Geheimdienste, die Trump erpressen (wollen)
(11. Januar 2017)
So etwas ist noch nie passiert. Die gesamte Situation ist prÀzedenzlos.
Das angeblich belastende Material, wie beschrieben angeblich von irgendeinem britischen Agenten, etc, ist bereits gestern auf Buzzfeed veröffentlicht worden. Es ist dermaĂen ekelhaft, dass es einem die Schuhe auszieht. Und es wird mir schlecht, wenn ich sehe wie die Leute auf Twitter darauf reagieren. Offensichtlich wurde diese FĂ€lschung, die als solche u.a. von Gateway Pundit und Wikileaks identifiziert wurde, nur mit einem Ziel entworfen: Trump anzuschieĂen und zwar so, dass er nie wieder aufsteht.
Trumps Reaktion ist, nun ja, fast etwas verwirrt. Im Laufe des heutigen Tages hielt er seine Pressekonferenz als gewĂ€hlter PrĂ€sident ab. Allen Anwesenden war, nach meinem Eindruck, eine Art Schock ĂŒber die Situation ins Gesicht geschrieben. Selbst der bemĂŒhte, ab und an aufbrandende Beifall Ă€nderte nichts an der gespenstischen Situation.
WĂ€hrend der Pressekonferenz ĂŒbernahm Trump einerseits zum ersten Mal die Position der C.I.A. und Ă€uĂerte hastig zwischen zwei SĂ€tzen zur Frage, wer verantwortlich sei fĂŒr den angeblichen Hack gegen die Parteizentrale der „Demokraten“ („Democratic National Committee“, D.N.C.),
„Ich glaube, es war Russland“ („I believe, it was Russia“)
Gegen Mittag hatte Trump andererseits zu dem veröffentlichten „belastenden Material“ getwittert:
„(Die) Geheimdienste hĂ€tten niemals erlauben sollen, dass diese Fake News an die Ăffentlichkeit ÂŽgeleakedÂŽ werden. Ein letzter Schuss gegen mich. Leben wir in Nazi-Deutschland?“
Oleg Deripaska Says He Hired Christopher Steele To Work On Research Project
(July 2, 2019)
Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska said he previously employed Christopher Steele, the author of the Trump dossier.
Deripaska said he hired Steele through his attorneys in London to work on an unspecific legal proceeding.
Steele investigated the Trump campaign on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC.
Footnotes in watchdog report indicate FBI knew of risk of Russian disinformation in Steele dossier
(10.04.2020)
Footnote 350 in the IG report addresses the FBI‘s knowledge of Russian contacts with Steele and the potential for disinformation. Steele had „frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarchs, we identified reporting the Crossfire Hurricane team received from (redacted) indicating the potential for Russian disinformation influencing Steele‘s election reporting.“
The footnote also indicates that warnings to the FBI‘s Russia probe became more pronounced over time.
