    David Cay Johnston, DCReport @ RawStory

    At DCReport we’ve scored an advance copy of the most anticipated book of the year, “A Warning” by “Anonymous, A Senior Trump Administration Official.” This book, which goes on sale Nov. 19, is as important, fascinating and easy to read as any book in our times.


    The scariest line comes on Page 238, where the author identifies the most unwelcome visitor to the Trump White House—reason.

    Crazy anecdote by idiotic tirade by telling detail gathered from behind closed doors at the White House, the author makes clear that this book is a work of duty by someone who loves America, has dedicated their life to our safety and well-being and is certain that all we hold dear is in grave danger.

    Crazy anecdote by idiotic tirade by telling detail, Anonymous makes clear that this book is a work of duty by someone who loves America.

    “He wants to do what he wants to do, consequences be damned,” Anonymous writes. Trump is “like a 12-year-old in an air traffic control tower, pushing the buttons of government indiscriminately, indifferent to the planes skidding across the runway and the flights frantically diverted away.”

    Know Nothing

    Trump blows off intelligence assessments because he clearly lacks the intellectual capacity to understand them, even though he claims to be the world’s top expert on what, by my count, are 22 subjects. When Trump tries to speak on many of these subjects he “fell flat” because, in reality, he knows nothing about Middle East politics, military strategy, taxes or law.

    He carelessly reveals national security secrets that make allies fearful of sharing intelligence with Washington, and he puts the lives of our spies in danger. And in the Oval Office, he crudely and angrily dismisses anyone who speaks in depth or with nuance while also declaring his complete trust in whatever Vladimir Putin tells him.

    The author is clearly deeply educated on the history of our nation, ancient Greece and Rome and understands diplomatic and military strategy, philosophy and political history, all of which are alien to Trump.

    Many of the references and the way anecdotes are told suggest the author may be an officer in our military or a very seasoned diplomat.

    Throughout, the author explains his or her motive for writing this extraordinary book is loyalty, not to Trump but to our nation. The royalties will mostly be given to charity, the author vows.

    Anonymous describes “a toxic combination of amorality and indifference,” tells of Trump demeaning his staff with “one pointless indignity after another” and without warning tweeting ideas that aren’t even rolled into dough, much less half-baked.

    'Five-Alarm Fire Drills'

    “Trump’s penchant for making decisions with little forethought” shows no regard for blowing up a treaty, denouncing an ally or demoralizing others. His crazy conduct caused “five-alarm fire drills” for White House staff who had to try to dissuade Trump from dangerous actions by diverting his attention to something else.

    Those who brief Trump offer no nuance, no complexity and especially no paper.

    Because Trump would not even listen to substantial advice, those giving briefings are advised to limit themselves to a single, and very simple, point. Those who soldiered on with lots of facts got the full Trump screaming treatment—something I’ve experienced a few times.

    “What the fuck is this!” he would shout, according to Anonymous, when presented with just a modicum of facts. “These are just words, a bunch of words. It doesn’t mean anything.”

    Those who stick with Trump must become “reality contortionists” to stay in his good graces. Trump “enjoys watching people go out and compromise their integrity to serve him,” Anonymous writes, a point I’ve made repeatedly.

    How Anonymous has avoided these contortions—or has given in to them to stay on—goes unexplained.

    The Alabama Incident

    Anonymous cites Trump’s false statement in August that Hurricane Dorian was going to strike Alabama as an example of how White House staffers bend to his lies. Inside the White House, Anonymous writes, Trump spent days railing about how he was right because the storm “could” have hit the state.

    “Rather than urge him to issue a short correction, too many aides in the West Wing were eager to help him perpetuate a lie… He told then to issue statements disputing reality. They did… [until] it was like a game of Twister gone wrong; the truth was so tied up in knits no one knew what the hell we were talking about.”

    Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, and Stephen Miller, his minister of hate, wield power because they don’t care what the best diplomats, generals and policy experts think of them. Their power comes from never allowing any sunlight between themselves and Trump, even when it means cutting out, say, the Defense Department from major policy shifts in the Middle East that may cost American soldiers and sailors their lives.

    Trump is so petty that after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) died the White House flag flew at half-staff for only part of that day. Trump wanted every federal flag run up to the top of the flagpole the next morning, dismissing aides who warned that it “sent a bad signal.”

    Republicans started out agitated with Trump, the author writes, but soon became “petrified” of him. They abandoned GOP principles for fear he would sic some crazy and well-funded challenger on them in Republican primaries. Cowardice, not bravery, is a theme, another hint that Anonymous may be a military officer.

    [caption id="attachment_16855" align="alignleft" width="300"] Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner (Reuters)[/caption]

    Trump really does think he is a god, as I’ve warned for years. Anonymous writes about when Trump declared on the White House lawn in July “‘I am the Chosen One,’ gesturing knowingly to the heavens in front of a gaggle of reporters. He said he was teasing. He wasn’t.”

    Anonymous cites some of the times that Trump has called those who challenge him or make public facts he wants hidden traitors. Anonymous also reminds us that President Teddy Roosevelt said it was treasonous to not criticize the president.

    Despite the internal bedlam,” Anonymous writes, Trump “did not end with a government populated solely by flunkies.”

    A “false optimism infected” Team Trump at the start, but quickly dissipated as the new leader soon revealed no interest in governing, only in regaling people at “odd moments” with how he won office, showing a map that was mostly red because he won so many rural counties.

    'Something Wasn't Right'

    White House staff quickly realized “the president had no idea of what was doable and what was nuts.”

    Team Trump quickly realized “something wasn’t right,” and his management “was not really management at all.” How, Anonymous wonders, could Trump have run his company?

    A year into office Trump suggested arming every schoolteacher, which Anonymous describes as “an idea formed in the ether of his mind” that Trump believed brilliant “because he thought of it.”

    Trump is so obsessed with immigrants, to whom he traces almost every issue, that he wanted to start calling them “enemy combatants.”

    Inside the White House, Trump has repeatedly discussed dumping Mike Pence before the 2020 campaign even though Pence has been as obsequious as Kushner and Miller. Anonymous attributes this to Trump’s need to shake things up, to create chaos.

    When it comes to firing people, Trump is not at all his television persona, “He takes the cowardly way out” using others or social media to can people.

    Competent leaders are leaving, the author writes, the result being that “increasingly the voices in Donald Trump’s ear are only those who tell him what he wants to hear.”

    Anonymous examines character, first noting the great men who as president won wars, tackled difficult problems and soothed the nation after disaster, as Ronald Reagan did when the Challenger space shuttle blew up in 1986. Anonymous emphasizes dignity as a sign of character, something Trump lacks.

    Trump calls the White House a “hellhole,” brags that those he attacks will be “kissing our asses” when is done with them, denounces how America has “the worst laws and the stupidest judges” and waxes admiringly about the My Pillow guy’s television commercials. And when something is obviously and even to Trump undeniably amiss? Trump declares that “it’s all fucked and it’s your fault.”

    Anonymous notes that even the worst men, the most unqualified men, can achieve great things, though only at a terrible cost. The author also notes that liberal is not an epithet, as Trump uses it, but the term for the idea that people should be free “to conduct their lives as they wanted” if they did not harm others. He brings this up in the context of how he clearly believes Trump wants to take away our liberty and regiment our lives to his liking.

    After threats to our safety and liberty, Anonymous is most disturbed by Trump’s ignorance and disinterest in acquiring knowledge, not to mention wisdom.

    Behind Closed Doors

    “The sheer level of intellectual laziness is astounding,” Anonymous writes in telling how Trump acts on whatever pops into his head, convinced that he is all-knowing.

    “Behind closed doors, his own top officials deride him as an ‘idiot,’ and a ‘moron’ with the understanding of a ‘fifth- or sixth-grader.’”

    Rex Tillerson, the former ExxonMobil CEO who as Secretary of State tried to stop many illegal actions by Trump, was reported to have called Trump “a fucking moron,” an anecdote implied but not specified in the book.

    But Anonymous notes, wryly, that when people who made disparaging remarks about Trump inside the White House were pressured to deny them most issued “non-denial denials.”

    [caption id="attachment_16856" align="alignleft" width="300"] Trump speaking on Sept. 11, 2018[/caption]

    Trump is congenitally inappropriate. For example, on Sept.11, 2018, instead of speaking of those murdered by Al Qaeda and those who died trying to save lives, Trump went into a tirade against Kellyanne Conway’s husband George, Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (“Pocahontas”), former Vice President Joe Biden (“Sleepy Joe”) and denounced the pollsters working for ABC News and the Washington Post.

    The point Anonymous makes is that the man has no dignity.

    So why do competent people stay? Why not just resign? “Because he’s a mess,” Anonymous quotes himself or herself as telling a close friend. Staying is a way to protect us until Trump is out of office.

    Trump is “a wolf in elephant’s clothing” who has “turned the GOP into a mass of contradictions” that overall is negative for the party, Anonymous writes.

    “Flip-flopping” by Trump is annoying when it’s about new military uniforms, but “terrifying” when his “impetuousness poses a real danger to our military the full extent of which will not be known for years.”

    Trump’s “fake views” are part of how he is “turning the powers of his office against the fundamentals of our democracy.” When Trump says he dislikes the term “deep state,” it’s like “the Marlboro man saying he wasn’t a smoker.”

    Anonymous notes that Trump has dismissed American spy agencies as places run by “political hacks.” But it was Trump whose “carelessness” has put the lives of American spies in danger and “has had a chilling effect throughout the national security community, making the already difficult jobs of those charged with safeguarding our country that much harder.”

    “Our intelligence professionals were so beaten down by the president’s antics that they’d given up being outraged,” Anonymous writes.

    Anonymous says the White House patriots have no explanation for Trump’s “obvious admiration” of Putin, meekly suggesting that perhaps Trump has a schoolboy’s fear of Putin and “is trying to suck up to the bully.”

    Should Trump get a second term “you can count on the fact that he will make other dishonorable requests of foreign powers” worse than his efforts to get Ukraine to smear Joe Biden.

    Believing Putin

    [caption id="attachment_16860" align="alignleft" width="300"] Trump and Putin (AP)[/caption]

    One ominous anecdote involves Trump rejecting out of hand intelligence about the capabilities of an unnamed “rogue” country’s missiles. Trump said Putin had given him different information, “I believe Putin,” the national security official said Trump told him, according to Anonymous.

    When Trump likes a foreign leader he refuses to accept the danger that leader may pose or consider ulterior motives, which “makes it easy for him to offhandedly dismiss detailed” threat assessments.

    “Willful ignorance is the fairest way to describe” Trump’s attitude toward America’s enemies, Anonymous concludes. “He sees what he wants to see.”

    For our democracy to survive and the liberties of the people to endure, we need to see what we need to see about the clear and present danger to America posed by Donald Trump’s presidency. And everyone who reads this book will understand that. So let’s hope millions take the time to read every word of “A Warning” by Anonymous.

    Should Trump be allowed back on social media?

    Marjorie Taylor Greene is a problem Republicans want

    Heather Digby Parton, Salon
    April 20, 2021

    If you had any doubts that the Republican Party had a full-blown white nationalist faction ready and willing to let their freak flags fly, the last few weeks have to have disabused you of them. From Fox News' highest rated prime time host Tucker Carlson endorsing the far-right "great replacement" theory on national television to Kevin Williamson of the National Review, following in the tradition of its founder William F. Buckley, theorizing that we need "fewer — but better — voters," it seems as if right-wing extremism is getting a whole lot of airtime.

    Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene put the white icing on Republican's racist cake last week when she floated the idea of the new Trump-supporting American First Caucus, which caused even House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to issue a mild rebuke for its obvious references to white power. Among those who said they were part of the project were far-right Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona, Matt Gaetz of Florida and Louis Gohmert of Texas. The rock has been turned over and all the white supremacists are crawling out, eyes squinting, ready to seize their rightful place in the Republican Party.

    Greene's plan was reported by Punchbowl News last Friday as a new group dedicated to following in "President Trump's footsteps, and potentially step on some toes and sacrifice sacred cows for the good of the American nation." This is defined as preserving "Anglo-Saxon political traditions" with a goal of limiting legal immigration "to those that can contribute not only economically, but have demonstrated respect for this nation's culture and rule of law." It's unclear exactly how such "respect" can be demonstrated but it's not too hard to imagine. Being a huge Trump supporter certainly wouldn't hurt. It's also interesting that they have moved on from the "Judeo-Christian ethic" trope they used for the last few decades to this weird colonial throwback term "Anglo-Saxon culture," but it's no mystery as to why they would have done that, is it?

    One aspect of the agenda that got a lot of attention was its support for infrastructure "that reflects the architectural, engineering and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture." There were plenty of chuckles over that one, imagining what Greene and Gohmert would consider appropriate architecture. After wondering for a bit who they would consider to be their Albert Speer, I realized it was right in front of our nose: the great builder and designer of ostentatious, gold-plated kitsch himself: Donald Trump.

    But really, it's less hilarious than it sounds. Anyone who knows anything about the history of the Third Reich knows how much importance they attached to the "classical aesthetic" and in recent years there has been a movement among various alt-right types, including Neo-Nazis and Identity Evropa, to take up a new aesthetic as the perfect expression of white culture. Hettie O'Brien of The New Statesman wrote about the trend in 2018:

    While the Nazis thought neoclassical architecture an authentic expression of German identity, today's far right updates this doctrine for the social media age. As Stephan Trüby, an architectural historian at the University of Stuttgart, told me, right-wing populists have begun to sharpen their focus on architecture. In Germany, the Alternative für Deutschland party has spawned a revivalist movement of far-right isolationists who revere folk mythology and Saxon castles. Trüby writes that, "Filled with disgust at any kind of metropolitan multicultural way of life," these settlers retreat to rural Germany to rehearse the "preservation of the German Volk". [...]
    As Trüby noted, in Germany certain terms camouflage far-right identity politics. "Words like 'tradition' and 'beauty' are used to establish ideas of a unified people and nation, which excludes migrants and many parts of the population." Beauty is infused with connotations of blood, soil and a Volk.

    It's not just a European thing. You may recall the marchers in Charlottesville in 2017 were chanting "blood and soil."

    Within 24 hours, Greene and Gosar had backtracked on their caucus plan, suddenly claiming that it wasn't really their thing and that a staffer was responsible for an early draft they hadn't approved of. Greene went hysterical on Twitter over the controversy:

    Greene's spokesman, Nick Dyer, had issued a statement on Friday saying to "be on the look out for the release of the America First Caucus platform when it's announced to the public very soon." By Saturday he was saying Greene would not be launching anything. In the interim, some members of the most far-right caucus in the House, the Freedom Caucus, which counts Greene and the others as members, had publicly expressed their disapproval.

    It's tempting to see that as a sign they were truly appalled by Greene's overt white nationalism. But that's unlikely. This is actually an old strategy by right-wingers that inexorably mainstreams their beliefs in a way that allows many of them to escape responsibility. They do it every few years. Some rump right-wing group organizes itself within the party, attracts some attention for its extremism and then ends up being the tail that wags the dog — at least until another even more right-wing rump group organizes itself and does the same thing, moving the previous group into the mainstream. They usually tend to gain steam when the Democrats are in power.

    This goes way back but, as with so much else, it has accelerated since the early 1990s when Newt Gingrich and his backbench wrecking crew took over the GOP after rabble-rousing through the previous decade. They were once the loudmouthed extremists and then suddenly were the mainstream and elected their rabble-rousing leader to be the Speaker of the House. (Listening to former Speaker John Boehner bemoan the rightward surge of the GOP is laughable. He was among those original Gingrich revolutionaries.) Later came the Freedom Caucus, a group known for its obstructionism and "burn the house" down purity. Trump raised them up into the corridors of real power, spawning such GOP superstars as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Devin Nunes, R-CA, Jim Jordan, R-OH, and Matt Gaetz, R-FL all of whom are current or former Freedom Caucus members.

    With the help of Fox News, Marjorie Taylor Greene is taking that same strategy to the next level. It works out well for all concerned. By parroting the emergent white nationalist rhetoric being mainstreamed by Tucker Carlson, she manages to raise a lot of money. And by delicately distancing themselves from her, the Freedom Caucus get to appear to be safe to establishment Republicans (just like John Boehner was when he became speaker) who can in turn appeal to the suburban voters who abandoned the party.

    I think you can see the problem here.

    This latest iteration of far-right wingnuttia is going in a very dangerous direction. I don't think we'll see Marjorie Taylor Greene elected speaker of the House but there's every chance that at some point someone with her toxic ideology will be seen as such a mainstream Republican that he or she is a perfectly viable candidate. Trump already came very close. I honestly don't know how much lower they can go from there.

    GOP governor 'abruptly canceled' PreK-12 mask rules -- but school districts quickly rejected it: report

    Bob Brigham
    April 19, 2021

    School districts in Arizona rushed react on Monday after the state's Republican governor lifted a school mask mandate.

    "Gov. Doug Ducey lifted his executive order on Monday that mandated masks to be worn on Arizona school campuses," KPNX-TV reported Monday. "School districts still have the authority to have mask requirements in their area."

    The station's Brahm Resnik began tracking the response from school districts.

    Trump panned for bizarre Sean Hannity interview on Fox News

    Bob Brigham
    April 19, 2021

    When Donald Trump was president, Fox News personality Sean Hannity was described as his "shadow chief of staff." Trump is now a retiree golfing in Florida, but the Fox News hold lavished praise during an interview broadcast on Friday night.

    Hannity began the interview by praising Trump's work ethic while he lives at Mar-a-Lago in retirement.
