Trump Haters Thread

Whack job....

 

President Trump, who repeatedly touted WikiLeaks on the campaign trail in 2016, on Thursday denied knowing anything about the whistleblower website or its founder, Julian Assange, who was arrested in London earlier in the day.

“I know nothing about Wikileaks. It’s not my thing,” Trump told reporters inside the Oval Office when asked if he still loves WikiLeaks.

Of Assange, Trump said, “I know nothing really about him — it’s not my deal in life.’”

Assange was taken into custody by British police early Thursday after being evicted from the Ecuadoran Embassy, where he had been living in asylum since 2012. He was arrested on a 7-year-old warrant related to a now-closed rape inquiry in Sweden.

The U.S. Justice Department then requested his extradition, charging him with conspiring with Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. intelligence analyst, to hack into a Pentagon computer. Assange entered a not guilty plea to a charge that he failed to surrender in the Swedish rape case. A hearing relating to the U.S. extradition charges was set for May 2.

Trump said he did not have an opinion on what should happen to Assange, and would leave it up to Attorney General William Barr.

Since 2012, Assange had been hiding in the embassy from possible arrest and extradition to the United States on charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables about American military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In 2010, after WikiLeaks first published its trove of cables provided by Manning, Trump, at that time a private citizen, told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that he believed Assange deserved the death penalty.

But his tune changed in 2016 when WikiLeaks began publishing emails obtained through Russian hacks of the Democratic National Committee and Hillarious Clinton’s campaign.

Trump, by then the Republican nominee, spoke glowingly — and incessantly — about WikiLeaks, professing his “love” of the whistleblower website and directing his supporters to it so they could read the leaked material for themselves.

During the month leading up to the 2016 election, Trump talked about WikiLeaks and the stolen emails at least 164 times, according to an analysis by banned site link - malware reported, a progressive think tank.

“I’ll tell you, this WikiLeaks stuff is unbelievable,” Trump said at a rally in Lakeland, Fla., on Oct. 12, 2016. “It tells you the inner heart — you gotta read it.”

In Wilmington, Ohio, five days later, Trump said that as he was “getting off the plane, they were just announcing new WikiLeaks, and I wanted to stay there, but I didn’t want to keep you waiting.”

“Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks,” he added.

Last year, an unsealed court filing that included Assange’s name inadvertently revealed that he had been indicted by the U.S. government. That indictment, on conspiracy charges stemming from the hacking, was made public on Thursday. Assange was not charged with espionage or with disclosing classified information on WikiLeaks.

In 2017, Trump told the Associated Press that he was unaware of any Justice Department case being brought against Assange, but “if they want to do it, it’s OK with me.”

Lou Dobbs got Trump approval numbers backward, Fox admits. Trump didn't mind.

Donald Trump superfan Lou Dobbs couldn’t contain his excitement Wednesday night over a new Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service poll showing what the Fox Business host called “soaring” approval ratings for President Trump.

“The president’s victories are showing up in the polls, according to a Georgetown University poll. The president’s overall approval is now 55 percent — let’s hear that, 55 percent,” Dobbs, who has been one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters, told his audience.

Trump often retweets the praise he receives from Dobbs and other Fox News hosts, and he made sure to amplify the graphics used in Wednesday’s segment accompanying a screen shot with the message “Great News! #MAGA.”

The problem for Dobbs and Trump is that while the poll did show that 58 percent of those surveyed approved of the president’s handling of the economy, it also found an overall approval rating for Trump’s performance as president of 43 percent, compared with 52 percent disapproval. On a separate question, 55 percent had an “unfavorable” impression of Trump, compared with 41 percent who were “favorable.” (That was slightly better than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose favorable-unfavorable rating was underwater, 37 to 53.)

Trump’s job approval rating on almost all the other specific issues polled was also net negative, with the exception of how he handles “jobs.” The other issues were foreign affairs, taxes and immigration.

 

The Fox Business Network issued an on-air correction Thursday, saying its report “was not entirely accurate.”

“It’s been a quiet start to the day for President Trump, though he did send out a tweet this morning from the Lou Dobbs show last night on Fox Business,” reporter Blake Burman said on behalf of the network. “That tweet featured a poll that was not entirely accurate, which Fox Business would like to correct.”

Dobbs plans to issue a correction on Thursday’s program, the Daily Beast reported.

After more than 10 hours after first posting it, Trump had still not taken down his tweet boasting about the incorrectly reported approval rating.

According to an aggregation of polling data, the website FiveThirtyEight gives Trump an approval rating of 41.9 percent and an overall disapproval rating of 52.8 percent.

Food for thought. I am also undecided on the medical effects of energy sources in relationship to the proximity of people

 

windmill is a structure that converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades.[1][2] Centuries ago, windmills usually were used to mill grain (gristmills), pump water (windpumps), or both.[3] There are windmills that convert the rotational energy directly into heat.[4] The majority of modern windmills take the form of wind turbines used to generate electricity, or windpumps used to pump water, either for land drainage or to extract groundwater. Windmills first appeared in Persia in the 9th century AD, and were later independently invented in Europe.[5][6]
