01) Trump Aide: McCain Doesn’t Matter, “He’s Dying Anyway”

---

“A White House aide brushed aside Sen. John McCain’s opposition to President Donald Trump’s nominee for CIA director by mocking his brain cancer diagnosis, saying, “it doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” multiple outlets reported Thursday.

Kelly Sadler, a Trump aide in charge of surrogate communications, made the comment during a closed-door White House meeting in front of about two-dozen staffers Thursday morning, the Hill reported.
The joke fell flat, a White House official told CNN.

The White House didn’t deny Sadler made the comments, but said it respected McCain and his service “to our nation.”

“He and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time,” it said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

On Wednesday, McCain joined a chorus of other senators who are opposing Gina Haspel’s pending nomination to lead the CIA over her involvement in harsh interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding, and the destruction of evidence after 9/11.

01) One Question RussiaGate Pushers Never Ask w/Jesse Ventura pt. 2

“Jesse Ventura and Jimmy discuss the overlooked issues RussiaGate disciples ignore.”

One thing I cannot let go, without comment.

My long term experience with the conspiracy theory community does not lead me to the conclusion, that most of them are of high intelligence…It does lead me to the conclusion, that a vast many of them are crazy…and naïve…and grossly uncritical, in most cases…

…So many of them just have a bias, they are looking to validate…and a gaping hole in their lives, they are looking to fill with something…

…An ideological “fight to save the world”, will fit the bill for most of these sorts…even if it’s based on pure bunk.

Why People React Strongly To Pedophilia (Brongersma)…

….	Date: May 12, 2018 01) Why People React Strongly To Pedophilia (Brongersma) “The most difficult thing to face is the hidden aspects of yourself. The evidence suggests that everyone has some pedophilia in them, more or less, consciously or unconsciously. Of course most are not as dedicated to uplifting children as the people who are most strongly attracted to them, those we define as pedophiles. But things aren’t so black and white as that we have pedophiles and then so-called normal people. Edward Brongersma was a Dutch politician and doctor of law. For a number of years he was a member of the Dutch Senate for the Labour Party, and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Trump Officially Breaks Iran Nuclear Deal…

01) Trump Officially Breaks Iran Nuclear Deal

---

“US President Donald Trump says he will withdraw the US from an Obama-era nuclear agreement with Iran.

Calling it “decaying and rotten”, he said the deal was “an embarrassment” to him “as a citizen”.

Going against advice from European allies, he said he would reimpose economic sanctions that were waived when the deal was signed in 2015.

In response, Iran said it was preparing to restart uranium enrichment, key for making both nuclear energy and weapons.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said: “The US has announced that it doesn’t respect its commitments.

“I have ordered the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran to be ready for action if needed, so that if necessary we can resume our enrichment on an industrial level without any limitations.”

He said he would “wait a few weeks” to speak to allies and the other signatories to the nuclear deal first.

“In a live-streamed remarks on his Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon (watch below), Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a direct response to President Donald Trump’s decision to end the U.S. government’s commitment to the Iran nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JSPOA).

Calling Trump’s decision “reckless,” Sanders warned that the president has “put our nation on a dangerous path.”

“Real American leadership, and real American power, is not shown by our ability to blow things up, but by our ability to bring parties together.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)People should, Sanders continued, that the “JCPOA is not just an agreement between the United States and Iran, but one negotiated alongside other members of the international community including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, along with China and Russia.” He warned that it does more to isolate and undermine the credibility of the U.S. than it does Iran.
