Did TIME Magazine Unintentionally Flatter President Trump And Rally His Base With The New Cover?
[guest post by Dana]
I don’t see how Trump will see this as anything but a clap on the back for a job well done. After all, just one month after Trump’s election win, we were told by former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon that “deconstruction of the administrative state” would be the ongoing goal of the President and his administration.
The magazine’s accompanying report notes:
For most of the year since Trump’s stunning election win, his pronouncements have commanded the public’s attention the way an unexpected announcement does on a long plane ride. But on the ground, things have been happening. Quietly, the Administration has taken thousands of actions, affecting everyone from the poorest day laborer to the richest investment banker. And it’s touting its work. “No President or Administration has deregulated or withdrawn as many anticipated regulatory actions as this one in this short amount of time,” says White House communications director Hope Hicks.
In Washington, philosophy tends to disappear into the swamp Trump pledged to drain. His White House is stocked with former executives and industry insiders who have power over issues in which former clients have hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. By mid-June, according to USA Today, more than 100 former federal lobbyists had found jobs in the Trump Administration, 69 of them in agencies they had tried to influence from the outside.
…Ultimately, as with much in life, good government relies on the good faith of those in whom we place our trust. Which is why so much rides on the crew that Trump has put in charge of his D.C. demolition project.

I feel like TIME just gave Trump his 2020 re-election campaign slogan: The Wrecking Crew. It seems like something his loyal followers would rally around.

mg (31009b) — 10/26/2017 @ 1:49 pmTIME’s job isn’t to be partisan, but to sell magazines. That cover made me want to read the story. This cover is working well for them since it’s getting a lot of attention without even having to pay for advertising, to boot. It’s the old fashioned (paper) form of click-bait.
Tillman (a95660) — 10/26/2017 @ 1:59 pmTIME Magazine is a totally irrelevant publication. It once occupied a prominent place among informative weekly magazines, along with NEWSWEEK, but that was long ago and far behind us now. Today’s news cycle moves too fast for 19th century technology. Time ran out on TIME.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/26/2017 @ 2:30 pm“The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee claims he obtained a “smoking gun” email that proves the Obama Justice Department prevented settlement payouts from going to conservative-leaning organizations, even as liberal groups were awarded money and DOJ officials denied “picking and choosing” recipients.
“It is not every day in congressional investigations that we find a smoking gun,” Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Tuesday. “Here, we have it.”
While Eric Holder was U.S. attorney general, the Justice Department allowed prosecutors to strike agreements compelling big companies to give money to outside groups not connected to their cases to meet settlement burdens. Republican lawmakers long have decried those payments as a “slush fund” that boosted liberal groups, and the Trump DOJ ended the practice earlier this year.
But internal Justice Department emails released Tuesday by Goodlatte indicated that not only were officials involved in determining what organizations would get the money, but also Justice Department officials may have intervened to make sure the settlements didn’t go to conservative groups.
In one such email in July 2014, a senior Justice Department official expressed “concerns” about what groups would receive settlement money from Citigroup — saying they didn’t want money going to a group that does “conservative property-rights legal services.”

narciso (d1f714) — 10/26/2017 @ 5:07 pmHysterical — watch Tucker Carlson’s show tonight if you get a chance.
They lead with DNC funding admission on Dossier.
Carlson says his producers called all around DC trying to get Dems to come on the show to discuss, and no one was interested. Except Calif. Congressman Brad Sherman.
I lived in Calif for 40 years but never heard of him either.
He’s from the San Fernando Valley, and is in his 10th term. Just the sort of liberal democrat you would expect.
So Tucker turns to him and starts to ask him about the DNC funding of the dossier, and Sherman looks at him and says “I’m here to talk about the tax bill that is a massive tax cut for the rich, will decimate social services, and explode the debt and deficit” or something like that.
Carlson laughs thinking that its just funny deflection to lighten the mood, and tries to go back to the dossier story. But it becomes clear that Sherman is there as an obstructionist, and starts yammering on about how Trump should be impeached for obstruction of justice, and Hillary is out of office so she’s not subject to impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors but Trump is.
Carlson tries a couple more times to get back to the dossier subject, but Sherman is just a clown and shows he clearly agreed to go on the program with ulterior motives and has no intention of discussing the subject he was asked to be on the show to discuss.
What a party.

The American public expects — and deserves — its Government to provide as much access as possible to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records so that the people may finally be fully informed about all aspects of this pivotal event,” the president said.
He added that some executive departments and agencies had proposed that certain information should remain redacted “because of national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns.”

Once again you are ingesting your own propaganda, comrade. Trump said: “The American public expects — and deserves — its Government to provide as much access as possible to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records “.
“… some executive departments and agencies (i.e. Not Trump) had proposed that certain information should remain redacted “because of national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns.”
Sounds like his “feeble mind” is made up it’s the Obummer leftovers who can’t decide.

Muzzleloader are still popular around here because : felons.

Pinandpuller (ef2460) — 10/26/2017 @ 6:37 pmP&P, your father would have probably been good friends with my stepfather, who did his bullet casting in the utility closet of my mother’s townhouse. (I was an adult by the time he came into view.) He was a medic in the Chosin Reservoir, emerging with frostbite, PTSD (shell shock and cracking walnuts as he used to say) that made him impossible to live with (she threw him out of the house after eight years), and a very belated Silver Star. His CO told him not to go for the wounded because it was too dangerous. He told the CO off, went for the wounded. The CO calmed down, wrote out the recommendation for a medal, then was himself killed, so the paperwork got lost for over thirty years. (My stepfather’s version: the actual facts may have been polished a bit in his stories.) My stepfather finally received it a few years before he died.
kishnevi (5cc98a) — 10/26/2017 @ 6:38 pmThe last time I went deer hunting was up Hobble Creek Canyon in the Wasatch mountains on my uncle’s ranch. We had a group of 6, including a young Navajo who lived with my aunt and uncle and went to school, only heading home to AZ during the summers. Notah was his name and he went on to be an FBI agent.
What I remember is how cold it was – some snow on the ground – and how Notah was bringing his buck back to the cabin to hang, clean and dress it just as the rest of us were heading up the mountain. I think he was called a serious hunter.

Yeah, take her to the gun shop and let her pick it. How strong are her hands? Can she pull the trigger on a double-action revolver? Can she rack the slide on an automatic? Has she fired one before? If not, buy her some lessons and range time at a place that rents guns.

nk (dbc370) — 10/26/2017 @ 6:56 pmI’ve taken her shooting before, nk. I think she can handle up to a 9mm but I really want accuracy. A gun is worthless if she can’t hit the target. I’m thinking .22, .380 or 9mm. I think .25 and .32 are very unreliable weapons. Whatever we get she needs to practice at the range to build accuracy and confidence.

He didn’t know my dad was both a scout leader and a Senior Chief in the Coast Guard. He had spent his spare time teaching me to not end up as a red smear on a white hull.

Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/26/2017 @ 9:35 pmI think actually the flattering was intentional, although it probably came with a twist. The idea being this part about him is good. and Trump could be good overall, except he isn’t, but he would be if he listened to us.

I believe it’s the course description or certification level. Like maybe a paramedic 1 can just do basics while paramedic 3 can insert catheters and administer drugs or whatever. Like CNA, LPN and RN etc.

Do you have any of that blood coagulant made from oyster shells? That’s pretty rad.

The stray dog and guitar was a continuation of the gun comments, not the Petty Officer. He was a great guy.
What do you make of all the private security working around military property?
Pinandpuller (584c99) — 10/27/2017 @ 4:07 pmJerry Clower tells a story about a lady who called up a Marine base before Thanksgiving to invite five of them to her house for dinner. “But no Jews”.
On Thanksgiving she was greeted at her front door by five big, beautiful black Marines.
Jerry Clower was a Marine who served in the South Pacific. In signals I believe.
His brother Sonny retired a Lt Commander in The Navy.
