Kellyanne Conway Heard WH Link Trump to DNC Hacks. Get the Popcorn to Watch Her Verbal Finishing Move

Initially, the White House accepted the results of the November election and made a show of helping Team Trump make a smooth transition into office. But recently, they appear to have changed their tack - this week linking Donald Trump to the computer hacks which they claim led to their party’s defeat.

Tuesday, Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said it looked like Trump knew in advance that the “Russians” hacked into the DNC and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta's emails.

Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway was asked about Earnest's statement when she appeared on “Fox and Friends.” Conway shook her head:

"That is remarkable. That is breathtaking. I guess he's auditioning to be a political pundit after his job is over. That is incredibly irresponsible to hear from the podium of the White House press secretary.

Because he essentially stated that the president-elect had knowledge of this, maybe even fanned the flames. It’s incredibly irresponsible and I wonder if his boss, President Obama agrees."

And then she opened up on what she believes to be the real hacking danger that no one is talking about.

"We should be talking about what we know, not what we don't know. And what we know is that Hillary Clinton selfishly set up a private server that put us all at risk. And when you're talking about hacking into emails, why have we left behind the piece of evidence that is right in front of us?

What are people going to say, 'Oh, we've already investigated that. We had those two Comey things. We already know.' Do we?

She got this party started."

Conway couldn't believe that the same bunch helping them transition to the White House are the same people promulgating the story about Trump playing a role in the Democrat hacking scandal.

Kellyanne Conway: I could work outside administration to ‘haunt’ Trump opponents

Kellyanne Conway, President-elect Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, said on Thursday that she would soon either be working in the new administration or be on the outside to “haunt” lawmakers who try to get in Mr. Trump’s way.

Ms. Conway said she has already turned down the position of White House press secretary, but didn’t rule out another role within the administration.

“I’m going to support him. I’m either going to go outside and build this surround sound superstructure so that every time somebody tries to get in his way with legislation he wants to pass, I will be there to haunt them,” she said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“Including the 10 Democrats that are up in 2018 in seats that he just won, and the additional five or six that are in states … that he came close to winning,” she said. “That’s very important. I want this guy to have 60 or 61 senators after 2018. Or I’ll go inside.”

“I think after we form the Cabinet … then we’ll start to announce some of the senior staff positions, which could happen as soon as this week,” she said.

David Foster Declines Offer to Organize Donald Trump's Inauguration — Read His Statement

David Foster has declined an offer to organize President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. The news comes a day after Page Six reported that the music producer, 67, was scheduled to arrange the performers for the January 20 ceremony.

"I was invited to participate and I politely declined," Foster said in a statement to Us Weekly on Saturday, December 17. "I have no idea where this story came from. Neither me nor my manager was ever contacted by Page Six or any other media outlet."

Foster has been friends with Trump, 70, for years, but he reportedly supported Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, December 14, the Canadian producer and his rumored new girlfriend, supermodel Christie Brinkley, were spotted chatting with Clinton, 69, while on a date at the Polo Bar in New York City.

Us Weekly previously reported that America's Got Talent season 5 runner-up Jackie Evancho is scheduled to perform at Trump's inauguration next month. Andrea Bocelli was also rumored to take the stage, but a source tells Us the Italian classical singer, 58, has yet to confirm or accept the offer. "He is merely on Trump's wish list," the insider adds.

Evancho, meanwhile, confirmed the news during an interview on the Today show on Wednesday. "I have recently been asked by the president-elect to perform the national anthem for the swearing-in ceremony at the inauguration, and I am so excited," the 16-year-old singer said. "It's gonna be awesome! I felt really honored. To be able to sing for the office, it's a great honor for me."

Aretha Franklin and Beyoncé performed at President Barack Obama's first and second inaugurations, respectively.

Woody Guthrie's Protest Songs Against Donald Trump's Father Are Covered By Modern Artists 65 Years Later

More than 60 years before Donald Trump was elected president, legendary folk singer/songwriter Woody Guthrie was writing song lyrics blasting his father, Fred Trump, as a racist landlord. Now those lyrics are getting new life in songs like “Old Man Trump,” covered by Ryan Harvey, Tom Morello, and Ani DiFranco, and “I Ain’t Got No Home,” covered by the Missin’ Cousins.

Woody Guthrie, a pillar of American protest music who was famous for songs like “This Land Is Your Land,” signed a lease in an apartment complex in Brooklyn back in 1960 and was soon writing bitter words about his landlord, Fred C. Trump, according to The New York Times.

The angry writings about “Old Man Trump” were uncovered by scholar Will Kaufman, a professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire, who was working on a book about Guthrie. In them, Guthrie claimed that blacks were unwelcome as tenants in the Trump apartment complex near Coney Island and that Fred Trump stirred up racial hate and profited from it.

Guthrie’s lyrics named Fred Trump by name, calling him out for bigotry and discrimination in the apartment complex.

    I suppose
    Old Man Trump knows
    Just how much
    Racial Hate
    he stirred up
    In the bloodpot of human hearts
    When he drawed
    That color line
    Here at his
    Eighteen hundred family project

Guthrie went on to rework his song “I Ain’t Got No Home” into an angry critique of Fred Trump, according to Mr. Kaufman, again calling out Fred Trump in the song.

    Beach Haven ain’t my home!
    I just can’t pay this rent!
    My money’s down the drain!
    And my soul is badly bent!
    Beach Haven looks like heaven
    Where no black ones come to roam!
    No, no, no! Old Man Trump!
    Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!

Kaufman wrote about Guthrie’s journal writings in a thorough piece on The Conversation, with “Woody Guthrie, ‘Old Man Trump’ and a real estate empire’s racist foundations.”

“For Guthrie, Fred Trump came to personify all the viciousness of the racist codes that continued to put decent housing – both public and private – out of reach for so many of his fellow citizens,” Kaufman said.

Indeed, years later the Justice Department would bring federal cases against Fred and Donald Trump for “racially discriminatory conduct” for practices such as charging higher rent to black families and instructing management to tell blacks that there were no vacancies. Trump Management settled the case, though they said the agreement did not constitute an admission of guilt.

Man Tries To Use Trump As A Defense For Hitting Someone With A Brick

With the election of Donald Trump, many people in this country have gone completely insane. He hasn’t even taken office yet and is being blamed for everything from hate crime hoaxes to the utter destruction of the planet, which hasn’t actually happened. With Trump now the most convenient excuse, it’s not surprising that a lawyer is trying to use him as a legal defense for his client who hit someone with a brick.

NBC Boston reports that 49-year-old Stephen Fusco was standing on a Massachusetts commuter train platform last August while inexplicably holding a brick in his hand. He approached a Hispanic man and asked where he was from. When the man responded that he was from Mexico, Fusco hit him in the face with the brick.

Fusco was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, violation of constitutional rights, and assault and battery for the purpose of intimidation. He plead not guilty, and it seems as if his attorney plans to launch a precedent setting defense that blames Donald Trump for his client’s actions.

“His mental health problems on that night might have been exacerbated by what the president-elect was saying about people from Mexico,” said lawyer Arbold Abelow.

The question is: will this defense be successful?

There are more than a few problems for Fusco trying to blame Trump for his brick assault. Trump never said anything about hitting Mexicans with bricks or anything else. They only thing he ever said about Mexicans was that some illegal aliens from Mexico are drug dealers, rapists, and criminals. It will be hard to draw a parallel between stating the truth about illegal immigration and smashing someone in the face with a brick. There is not even an inference of brick smashing in Trump’s words.

Also, there is some legal precedent here and it doesn’t help Fusco’s case. When Joe Biden was taking the lead on gun control following the Sandy Hook shooting, he tried to justify an assault weapons ban by saying people only need shotguns for self-defense. He went on to tell people they should fire their shotguns in the air to scare off the bad guys. Several people took this horrible advice and were all arrested for illegally discharging firearms. The fact that they were doing something that the Vice President told them to did not save them from the law or their actions.

If people cannot get out of criminal activity for following Biden’s advice word-for-word, it’s unlikely Fusco is going to get off because he read something into Trump’s words that definitely wasn’t there. Then again, this is liberal Massachusetts and the left have transformed Trump’s name into some kind of evil magical spell whose invocation excuses all sorts of negative behavior.

Still, I think Fusco faces problems in that he is a white guy who attacked a minority and is disqualified from using the Trump excuse. If he had been a minority attacking a white person, he could successfully blame Trump, but not the other way around.

The Media Says:



'Impartial’ BBC Calls Trump Election ‘An American Tragedy’

Britain’s public broadcaster — the BBC — has called the election of Donald Trump an “American Tragedy” in a headline for an article featuring an interview with the editor of the New Yorker magazine.

David Remnick, editor of the stridently anti-Trump New Yorker was granted an interview with BBC News, part of the British media company which is funded to the tune of billions of pounds a year by a television tax forced on the UK public.

Opening with his widely publicised comments from November when Mr. Remnick said of the Trump victory that it was “an American tragedy” and “a sickening event in the history of liberal democracy”, the BBC lauded the anti-Trump figure as a “hero to many in liberal America and beyond”.

His magazine has recently taken to publishing instructional articles on ways “to Oppose a Donald Trump Presidency” which includes information on signing left-wing petitions, protesting at the Presidential Inauguration, and even calling for an end to America’s Electoral College, the very system devised by the Founding Fathers to stop major, now liberal, population centres consistently dominating the country.

Claiming that the success of President-elect Trump was not down to a significant change in American politics but rather the willingness of the Mr. Trump to harness the concerns of many Americans affected by “globalisation, de-industrialisation”, Remnick said: “He’s a brilliant, I think pernicious, but brilliant demagogue, who was able to act as a demagogue – a successful demagogue – on the national level the likes of which you’ve never seen in the United States”

So Much for That Ivanka Trump Charity Coffee Date

It’s difficult to comprehend a world in which Ivanka Trump thought that subjecting herself to a 45-minute coffee with the highest bidder was an evenly remotely good idea. I guess someone notified her otherwise, because the auction has been cancelled. But why? It was going to be so much FUN!

The coffee date was originally conceived to raise money for the Eric Trump Foundation, run by her brother and intended to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It was cancelled on Friday after 10 days thanks to a few little quibbles over the ethics of allowing wealthy business people to pay for face time with the president-elect’s daughter, who, it’s no secret, has Trump’s ear to an alarming degree.

According to the New York Times:

The auction had been running for 10 days, drawing 28 bids, the highest of which reached $72,888. The bidders included at least three businessmen who said in interviews that they saw their donation as an opportunity to have coffee with Ms. Trump to press her for information about her father’s plans as president or to try to urge Mr. Trump to take up an issue important to them.

All information on the amounts and names of the bidders disappeared from the internet with no notice on Friday afternoon. The winning bidder would have been an organization called Go Hydrogen, although no information could be found about this entity.

“We wanted to handle this with proper discretion once this was brought to our attention,” a statement from the Trump camp read. A slightly different message was sent from Eric himself:

“Today, the only people that lost are the children of St. Jude,” he wrote.

Always punishing the children with the damn “ethics,” aren’t we. Remind me which children will be suffering if Trump fails to divest from his businesses?

Trump’s unique response to Michelle Obama’s ‘no hope’ remark is not what most people expected

While speaking at a “Thank You” rally Saturday in Mobile, Alabama, President-elect Donald Trump responded to first lady Michelle Obama’s “no hope” assessment of his presidency.

In an interview set to air on Monday, the first lady effectively told Oprah Winfrey that Americans are hopeless and hapless now that Trump has been elected president.

“Now we’re feeling what not having hope feels like, you know?” Obama said.

Trump assumed the role of interpreter at the rally, explaining the remark to the crowd.

“Michelle Obama said yesterday that there’s no hope,” he said. “But I assume she was talking about the past, not the future, ’cause I’m telling you, we have tremendous hope. And tremendous promise.”

Trump went on to show that despite what his many critics say, he can pivot to a more presidential posture when he spoke in defense of Obama’s remark, saying he believes her words came out differently than she intended.

“I actually think she made that statement not meaning it the way it came out. I really do,” he explained. “Because I met with President Obama and Michelle Obama in the White House, my wife was there — she could not have been nicer. I honestly believe she meant that statement in a different way than it came out.”

Brexiteer Farage says he wants to be a bridge between UK and Trump

(Reuters) Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage said on Sunday he wanted to be a bridge between the British government and the new U.S. administration.

Last month U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said Farage - the former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) - would be great as Britain's envoy to Washington, but the British government dismissed the suggestion.

"I can help to be a bridge between the government in this country, the new trade department in this country, and not just Donald Trump but his team, his administration, and I would like to do that," Farage told BBC Radio.

"If you wanted to get business from the biggest company in the world and there was someone there that had the contacts and connections, the first thing you would do is to employ that person because that is how the world works."

Farage, who said he did not think he would get a role in the U.S. administration because he had a British passport, said Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May had banned members of her senior team of ministers from speaking to him.

However, trade secretary Liam Fox said he had received no such instruction.

"We have long-standing understandings of how we deal with incoming administrations ... We don't need anything as an adjunct to what the government already does and has successfully done in the past," he told BBC TV. "We have got a perfectly good ambassador in Washington at the present time."

Farage spent decades campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union and helped to force the then Prime Minister David Cameron to call the June referendum that brought the Brexit vote.

He spoke at a Trump rally during the U.S. presidential campaign and has met the president-elect since his victory.

Trump’s New World Order

As currently constituted, he says, NATO is ill-suited to combating international terrorism, which is for him the world’s “single biggest threat”. He especially objects to the US footing so much of the bill, saying that other allies should “pay up or get out”, and refuses to see the US as the “world’s policeman”. As he told a town hall meeting in Wisconsin: “Maybe NATO will dissolve and that’s OK, not the worst thing in the world.”

As a result of that speech, NATO is currently being drastically overhauled.

President-elect Donald J. Trump spoke by telephone with Taiwan’s president a couple of weeks ago, thereby breaking with nearly four decades of diplomatic practice. Beijing was not pleased. Trump, during the campaign, continually complained about what China does to undermine the US.  He has characterized climate change as a “Chinese hoax,” designed to undermine the American economy. He has criticized China for its manipulation of its currency to America’s disadvantage. And he has threatened to impose a heavy tariff on Chinese goods, a proposal that critics said would set off a trade war.

So it would appear that the phone call is part of a negotiating strategy.

What?  Obama now claims he was aware (as the race was in progress) of "Russian hacking" and that he had a "confrontation" with them in September:

Really incredible that they'd come out at this point (given the story so far) saying they were "aware" of "Russian hacking" for a year or more.

I'd definitely say the opposite.

That's the point, non stop "reports" that claim something with no evidence presented. The Electors will not get a security briefing, why? CIA decides not to send anyone to congress for the security briefing on this, why? Wikileaks who put the information out there say it was not hacked, but leaked to them. What could they have to gain by lying and protecting Russia?

Really incredible that they'd come out at this point (given the story so far) saying they were "aware" of "Russian hacking" for a year or more.

Well if they have only been aware for a year, then they are fucking stupid. Does .Gov really expect us to believe that Russia just started trying to get at shit a year ago.
