100 Days of Failure/Unkept Promises

Source: Huffington Post


  1. He said he wouldn’t bomb Syria. You bought it. Then he bombed Syria.
  2. He said he’d build a wall along the border with Mexico. You bought it. Now his secretary of homeland security says “It’s unlikely that we will build a wall.”
  3. He said he’d clean the Washington swamp. You bought it. Then he brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses.
  4. He said he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something “wonderful.” You bought it. Then he didn’t.
  5. He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. Then he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, in which no one is in charge.
  6. He said he’d release his tax returns, eventually. You bought it. He hasn’t, and says he never will.
  7. He said he’d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest. You bought it. He remains heavily involved in his businesses, makes money off of foreign dignitaries staying at his Washington hotel, gets China to give the Trump brand trademark and copyright rights, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.
  8. He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said. You bought it. Then he put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.
  9. He said he’d surround himself with all the best and smartest people. You bought it. Then he put Betsy DeVos, opponent of public education, in charge of education; Jeff Sessions, opponent of the Voting Rights Act, in charge of voting rights; Ben Carson, opponent of the Fair Housing Act, in charge of fair housing; Scott Pruitt, climate change denier, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency; and Russian quisling Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.
  10. He said he’d faithfully execute the law. You bought it. Then he said his predecessor, Barack Obama, spied on him, without any evidence of Obama ever doing so, in order to divert attention from the FBI’s investigation into collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives to win the election.
  11. He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the generals did. You bought it. Then he green lighted a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though  his generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained
  12. He called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief” and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done. You bought it. He has by now spent more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama did in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.
  13. He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times “fake news” and said they were his enemy. You bought it. Now he gets his information from Fox News, Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.

Syria

has obtained a midnight letter that the noted Arab American composer, author, and foreign policy writer Mohammed Fairouz wrote to Secretary of State Bashar al-Assad’s regime launched projectiles filled with toxic sarin gas into the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province, Syria, killing 86 people and wounding hundreds more.

After the victims, which included dozens of children, were evacuated to seek medical treatment, Assad’s jets returned and bombed the hospitals, as they have done countless times during Syria brutal six-year civil war.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was asked about the attack during a photo-op with King Abdullah of Jordan, and refused to answer.

Here is a full transcript of Fairouz’s letter:

These are hard, dark days. Earlier, I saw you, the Secretary of State of the United States ignore a question about the recent massacre in Syria. I’ve been stunned ever since. You did this and the whole world saw it.
Secretary Tillerson: your moral cowardice wounded me. Over the long term, you may have altered the face of the United States in that moment even more drastically than the circus and parade orchestrated by your boss thus far.

I understand that you do not have a background in diplomacy or global affairs and I have made no secret of my conviction that this makes you terrifically and dangerously unqualified for the grave office you currently hold.

I didn’t expect you to spend the day scrambling to prepare your UN Ambassador (after all, she too, had no diplomatic credentials before her ascension to this appointment) for the emergency meeting at the Security Council today.

But this is not a joke. Your failure in the face of this catastrophe would count as a referendum on more than just the diplomatic prowess of the United States.

I do not expect you to be exploring avenues to make a watertight case to the Security Council unambiguously exposing Bashar al-Assad to the principle of Universal Jurisdiction. I do not expect you to have studied the proceedings of the international court as established by the United Nations in the International Tribunals for Rwanda, the Former Yugoslavia or to have examined the workings of special courts from East Timor to Lebanon.

Mr. Secretary: I don’t know if you’re aware of this or if you mind it at all, but Assad’s actions over the last several years and most recently in the preceding days count as grave breaches of the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions.

They count as a violation of the Geneva Protocol. I don’t expect that you are up right now thinking of your diplomatic options in the face of a regime that has no regard for the International Criminal Court, the rule of law or, indeed, humanity itself.

I expect that, as Bashar Al Assad spawns a generation of orphans, you are sleeping peacefully.

Your boss and his cohorts are involved in a comprehensive blame game. To be clear, nobody is letting Obama or his administration off the hook nor will I ever forgive him for his red line.

But Obama is not our president right now and John Kerry is no longer our Secretary of State. Your boss, who sold himself as an antidote to Obama’s worst failings, has no business blaming his predecessor.

A little over two years ago I wrote of Obama’s global failings and I concluded by saying the following:

“If these fires of world war are not extinguished the next administration and, indeed, the next generation will be vexed with a global nightmare of unfathomable proportions.”

Secretary Tillerson: this is a deadly moment and it now falls largely upon you to awaken the global community from this nightmare.

I understand that you are not a career diplomat; that you have likely not studied the treaties that the United States is bound to or the opportunities that we are ripe to explore.

I’ve watched your work and, while I appreciate the advancements of the current administration in contending with the threat of DAESH, I cannot decipher an intermediate or long game.

I admit I do not believe you to be aware of your options when it comes to the application of the military or the intelligence community in support of your diplomacy. Expecting that of someone with no background in geopolitical statecraft would be unfair. Frankly, my hope is that you were getting good advice and listening.

I was not encouraged when you did not protest drastic budget cuts to the State Department.

Here, I’m reassured by the fact that your counterpart at the Department of Defense is qualified to hold his office.

His exercise of an extremely sensible demeanor suggests to me that General Mattis understands that he is operating without the safety net of a seasoned diplomat at the helm of State.

He knows very well that every cent that is cut out of the budget of the State Department is a cent that he will need to spend on artillery. And he knows that the interest he pays on those cents will need to be paid with the blood of his troops.

Mr. Secretary: I don’t say any of these things to offend you. You admit as readily as I that you are not a diplomat. I am not upset that you are not thinking like one.

But when it comes to the use of these weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, the international conventions are unambiguous for a reason.

These people died the worst deaths imaginable; they died in convulsions, bleeding from the nose and mouth. The inconceivable pain of their final seconds are a testament to why the UN Charter and the Geneva Convention were drawn up.

My heart broke when I saw our Secretary of State walk away from a question about this event. Mr. Secretary: the correct thing to do would have been to halt for a moment and condemn the atrocity without reservation. The fact that you did not have the human instinct to do that leaves the United States with that much less moral fiber than we had before you exposed us to that moment.

Mr. Secretary: your boss has called the United Nations, the world’s largest diplomatic organization, a “social club.” That demonstrates a great failure of perspective that I hope the tragedy of these days moves you to counteract.

I am a young person, 31 years old. When the Great Generation, the generation your parents belonged to, came forward to lay the foundations of the United Nations, they made a solemn promise eternally enshrined in the Charter:

“WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind.
That great generation sealed that promise after witnessing the very horrors that we are once again witnessing today in Syria. You shied away from that promise when you didn’t address the horrors in public. But I ask as a young person who still looks forward to a future with great hopes for the world that my generation must build upon: please, Mr. Secretary, do not fail in your promise to us altogether.

BIRDLAND



A beautiful blast from my past

Monday Morning Smile


Yes, I like cats. They are predictable and unpredictable. This video makes me laugh due to the way the two cats get really manic about ringing the bell for food. The cat on the left got confused, but it made for more humor to me.

Have a good week.

Here is who sold your internet privacy, folks.

Time to kick some ass, Louisiana voters.  Here is a list of the GOP lawmakers who voted for the privacy rollback, which consumer advocates called a shameful corporate give-away to the nation's largest broadband companies.

In essence, this bill allows internet service providers like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T to sell your private data to the highest bidder for tracking and marketing purposes.

The list, shown below, shows how all people voted for this measure. 

Our Louisiana representatives who voted to sell your privacy information are: BILL CASSIDY , JOHN KENNEDY , RALPH ABRAHAM ,   CLAY HIGGINS , MIKE JOHNSON ,  and Louisiana's BIGGEST BROWN NOSE, ASS KISSER, STEVE SCALISE,

I have provided links to their websites, but beware:  I have tried finding Bill Cassidy's email address on many websites and it is unavailable.  

Louisiana citizens who are sick of what has gone on in this country since November:  here is a time to make your voice heard.  THESE selfish, money grubbing a$$holes listed above  should not be re - elected.  They vote with their pockets, they don't care about their constituents.  

Not a single Democrat in either chamber voted for the measure. But interestingly, some 15 Republican House members broke ranks with party leadership to vote against the bill—perhaps because they decided they'd rather not explain to voters in 2018 why they sold out their constituents' privacy to the highest bidder.
