Carl Bernstein Dubs Trump a 'War Criminal' Who Suffers from 'Delusional Madness'
Andi Ortiz
Renowned Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein minced no words in sharing his thoughts about Donald Trump, calling the former president an "American war criminal" who suffers from "delusional madness."
During an appearance Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources," host Brian Stelter posed the question of "where we are heading as a country" to Bernstein, after what Stelter called "a week full of Trump delusion headlines." Though Bernstein noted that he has no professional qualifications as a psychiatrist, he did agree that the twice-impeached former president is "delusional."
"When you're talking about Trump, we're obviously talking about a kind of delusional madness -- such as General Milley was talking about -- that's on a scale and a scope that we have never experienced in an American president in our history," Bernstein said. "I think we need to calmly step back and, maybe, look at Trump in a different context. He is our own American war criminal of a kind we've never experienced before."
Honing in on Bernstein's choice of words in "war criminal," Stelter pushed him to elaborate further. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist went on to cite Trump's "homicidal negligence" during the COVID-19 pandemic, before pivoting to the actions of Trump's supporters in the Capitol on Jan. 6.
"Looking at his actions in terms of fomenting a coup to hold onto office, in which the head of the American military, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has now compared Trump -- not the press, not reporters comparing Trump to Hitler -- but rather the head of the American military comparing him and his movement to Brownshirts, to the Reichstag fire," Bernstein said.
"This is a huge wake-up call to this country when General Milley, the head of the American military, has said this, and it fits as a piece with something so extraordinary in our history. It's not political, Trump is not just political, he transcends the political, and we need to start looking at his crimes in that context." -

jedis are such hysterical neurotic disaster areas. They said the exact same sort of shit about GW Bush, now they'd eat the peanuts out of his shit. They lecture us about war crimes, then machine-gun Palestinian children playing on the beach. Ultimately the problem is that the chosen people can't deal with being ruled by a non-jedi, and hypocritical hyperbole is such a cultural virtue among them that no one should take them seriously. -

Pelosi Appoints Kinzinger to Panel Scrutinizing Jan. 6
Luke Broadwater
WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday appointed Representative Adam Kinzinger to the special committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, adding a second Republican who is a forceful critic of former President Donald J. Trump to the panel.
The move, which bolsters the committee’s bipartisan credentials, came after Ms. Pelosi rejected two Republicans who are among Mr. Trump’s most vociferous defenders in Congress from joining, saying their conduct suggested they could not be trusted to participate.
Mr. Kinzinger, a six-term congressman from Illinois who has drawn censure from his own party for disavowing Mr. Trump and the conspiracy theories the former president perpetuated, said in a statement that he had accepted the post.
“While this is not the position I expected to be in or sought out, when duty calls, I will always answer,” said Mr. Kinzinger, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump. “This moment requires a serious, cleareyed, nonpartisan approach. We are duty bound to conduct a full investigation on the worst attack on the Capitol since 1814 and to make sure it can never happen again.”
Ms. Pelosi, who has final say over the committee’s membership, has already given one of the eight seats normally reserved for the majority party to Representative Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming. Ms. Cheney was ousted from House leadership in May for criticizing Mr. Trump and his actions before and during the riot.
About 140 police officers were injured on Jan. 6 as Trump loyalists stormed the Capitol, where Congress was meeting to formalize President Biden’s election, chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” stalking the halls for Ms. Pelosi and forcing lawmakers to evacuate their chambers.
Ms. Pelosi began seriously considering unilaterally appointing Mr. Kinzinger last week after she blocked Representatives Jim Banks of Indiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio. Both had amplified Mr. Trump’s false claims of election fraud, joined their party’s efforts to challenge Mr. Biden’s victory on Jan. 6 and made statements that undermined the select committee’s work and mission.
Ms. Pelosi, however, said she welcomed the three other Republicans whom Representative Kevin McCarthy of California had nominated to join the panel.
“We have to ignore the antics of those who do not want to find the truth,” she said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” reiterating her rationale for barring Mr. Banks and Mr. Jordan.
Her decision to reject the pair drew an angry response from Mr. McCarthy, the minority leader, who announced that all his picks would boycott the panel. He has described Ms. Pelosi’s intervention as confirmation that the investigation was nothing more than a political exercise to hurt the G.O.P.
“Speaker Pelosi’s rejection of the Republican nominees to serve on the committee and self-appointment of members who share her preconceived narrative will not yield a serious investigation,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
On “Fox News Sunday,” Mr. Banks, who arranged a recent trip to join Mr. Trump at the southwestern border, blamed Ms. Pelosi for the security breakdowns at the Capitol during the breach by the pro-Trump mob. He claimed, without evidence, that he was rejected from the committee as part of a cover-up.
“Why was there a systemic breakdown of security on Jan. 6?” Mr. Banks asked. “At the end of the day, she is ultimately responsible for the breakdown of security at the Capitol that happened on Jan. 6.”
Congressional leaders hire the law enforcement personnel responsible for Capitol security, but are typically not involved in day-to-day decisions about security protocols.
Security at the Capitol is controlled by the Capitol Police Board, which includes the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms and the architect of the Capitol. At the time of the attack, the House sergeant-at-arms, Paul D. Irving, had been on the job since 2012, when he was hired under Speaker John A. Boehner, Republican of Ohio. The Senate sergeant-at-arms at the time, Michael Stenger, was hired in 2018 when Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, led the chamber.
Both Mr. Irving and Mr. Stenger, along with the chief of the Capitol Police at the time, Steven A. Sund, resigned under pressure after the riot.
Asked about Mr. Kinzinger’s potential selection on Sunday, Mr. Banks pointed to his colleague’s unsparing criticism of Mr. Trump: “It’s clear that Pelosi only wants members on this committee who will stick to her talking points and stick to her narrative.”
Mr. Kinzinger has urged his fellow Republicans to reject Mr. Trump’s lie of a stolen election and his brand of grievance-based politics, betting his political career that his party’s future lies in repudiating the former president.
“For months, lies and conspiracy theories have been spread, threatening our self-governance,” Mr. Kinzinger said on Sunday.
In her statement appointing Mr. Kinzinger to the panel, Ms. Pelosi emphasized his military service as an Air Force veteran and lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard.
“He brings great patriotism to the committee’s mission: to find the facts and protect our democracy,” she said.
There will now be nine members of the committee seated when the panel has its first hearing on Tuesday. The investigation is set to begin with the testimony of police officers who helped fight off the mob attack.
Among them are Officer Harry Dunn; Aquilino Gonell, a sergeant; Michael Fanone, who has lobbied Republicans to support an investigation; and Daniel Hodges, who was crushed in a door during the rampage. -

2021-07-26 at 9:17 AM UTCa 'wealth tax' is difficult on its face because with someone like Bezos, most of his fortune is tied up in companies and having to sell chunks off to pay taxes would likely cause them to fail
that said they could at least enforce existing tax law, but big companies like Amazon and Apple are used for state-level economic warfare so I'd doubt it'll happen -

Assertion
This is the most unhinged Trump rant about the 2020 election yet
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Donald Trump has set a pretty high bar for himself when it comes to wild rants. And yet, over the weekend in a speech to Turning Point USA in Arizona, he managed to outdo himself.
Words -- or at least my words -- can't do it justice. So, here's the former President of the United States:
"The county has, for whatever reason, also refused to produce the network routers. We want the routers, Sonny, Wendy, we got to get those routers, please. The routers. Come on, Kelly, we can get those routers. Those routers. You know what? We're so beyond the routers, there's so many fraudulent votes without the routers. But if you got those routers, what that will show, and they don't want to give up the routers. They don't want to give them. They are fighting like hell. Why are these commissioners fighting not to give the routers?"
Yup. Literally unhinged. I mean, he says the word "routers" 11 times in that rant.
What, you ask, is he talking about?
Well, as part of the ongoing audit of the vote in Maricopa County (Arizona), there has been an attempt by Trump-aligned forces to subpoena the network routers used by the county's election division.
Why the routers? Oh because the state Senate Republicans leading the audit -- as well as the questionable firm they have hired to run said audit -- want to know whether the Maricopa County voting machines were connected to the Internet on Election Day. Why? Because of a debunked conspiracy theory that votes were somehow electronically transferred from Trump to Biden. (This is all part of a broader conspiracy theory that Italian satellites were used to change votes. And no, I am not kidding.)
As the Arizona Republic wrote back in May:
"Senate liaison Ken Bennett has said [the routers] are needed to check whether the county's voting machines were connected to the internet during the election. But a county spokesperson said that the auditors already have the information and machines to perform that check, and a previous independent audit commissioned by the county proved they were not."
Why won't the county just turn over the routers to appease Trump? Three reasons actually:
1. Money. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has estimated the cost of replacing routers, which would need to be done if the current ones were handed over for this "audit,"at $6 million. (If you're wondering the board has a 4-1 Republican majority.)
2. Disruption: Handing over the routers would "severely disrupt the operations of county government because other agencies outside of the recorder's office and elections department use them," according to the board.
3. Safety: "Given access to the mail carriers' -- or routers' -- information, it would be easier for a bad actor to get access to a person's mail, or to target the information inside the network," wrote the Arizona Republic.
Trump, of course, cares about none of that. It makes a good talking point to say that these routers hold some super-secret information (they do not) and suggest that the county's unwillingness to turn them over is proof that there is something nefarious on them. (It is not).
And so, we get the router rant. Which would be funny except that, as January 6 proved, lots and lots of people believe -- sight unseen -- whatever the former president says. And that fact makes what Trump is doing actually dangerous.
Now, we just need to wait for Speculum and Skunk to insist on the need for these servers and how they will finally prove that poor little Donny Trump was cheated. -
