Hij is weer eens trots op het oplossen van een probleem dat hij zelf gecreëerd heeft.

Sadly it is no exaggeration, no hyperbole, to say that Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared a holy war on LGBT people, LGBT equality, and LGBT rights on Monday.

He declared war on anything that could be perceived to trespass on the "religious freedom" or "religious liberty" of Christians—which is loosely defined enough to be construed as trespassing on pretty much anything he and his allies choose it to mean.

Sessions said this was because there was a “dangerous movement” to erode the Christian right to worship.

There isn’t, of course; it’s an invented bogeyman for a ravenously-pursued ideological crusade. Women, religious minorities, LGBT people: Prepare to fight for your bodies, your rights to worship, your wedding cakes.

Sessions’ announcement of a “Religious Liberty Task Force” at a “Religious Liberty Summit” follows President Trump’s religious liberty executive order of May. It also follows the Department of Health and Human Services' announcement in January of a new “Conscience and Religious Freedom Division” to be housed within the agency’s Office for Civil Rights.

The “Religious Liberty Task Force”—which summons up images of a pirate ship filled with the staffs of the ADF, Liberty Counsel, and Family Research Council, sallying forth and liberating prejudiced bakers everywhere—will apparently ensure that everything Sessions laid out in his “religious liberty” memo of last October is pursued to the letter. That memo outlined how multiple government agencies should seek to uphold “religious liberty” even if it conflicts with existing anti-discrimination policies.

The “task force” will be co-chaired by Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio and Beth Williams, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy.[....]

En dan vraag ik me af waarom collusion zo'n big issue is, of heeft dit een beetje te maken met de regels van de grondwet, en niet met criminele activiteiten.

Proclaiming himself to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, former South Carolina “Republican” party executive director and social media provocateur Todd Kincannon ritualistically slaughtered a dog inside the Simpsonville, S.C. home where he resides with his parents.

According to police, the 37-year-old attorney and political operative – who gained infamy in recent years for his brash and provocative social media pronouncements – told them he killed the dog because he had received a command from God.

Officers discovered the deceased animal in the kitchen of Kincannon’s parents’ home – located at 216 Jones Avenue in Simpsonville – shortly after 1:30 a.m. EDT on morning of Thursday, July 26.

They arrived on the scene in response to a 9-1-1 call from Kincannon’s father, Jim Kincannon, who told them Kincannon’s mother Roxie Kincannon had “locked herself in (a) bathroom” inside the home because “she was absolutely terrified of Todd because he had killed one of their dogs with his bare hands.”

Upon entering the home, police found “a deceased medium sized brown and black dog” – an animal which “appeared to have suffered numerous stab wounds and was laying in a large pool of blood.”

“Several suspect puncture marks” were observed on the left side of the deceased animal.

Police found a pair of knives in the kitchen sink, which were taken into evidence – along with images of the carnage.

“With current America and these policies, there will definitely not be the possibility of dialogue and engagement,” Bahram Qassemi said at a Tehran news conference, according to The New York Times. “The United States has shown that it is totally unreliable.”

In a tweet responding to Trump’s offer, an adviser to President Rouhani later said Iran would be open for talks only if the U.S. “return[s] to the nuclear deal” and respects “the Iranian nation’s rights,” per a BBC translation.

Op zich wel respect dat hij het opneemt tegen de gebroeders Koch. Eerlijk is eerlijk.

Hoewel ik op het gebied van handel niet eens ben met Trump, vind ik het van lef getuigen dat hij op felle toon uitspreekt tegen de belangrijkste geldschieters van de Republikeinen. En laten we wel wezen: op de meeste vlakken zijn die gebroeders Koch een stel nare conservatieve engnekken.
