Honestly, I think the guy should out himself before he has a mysterious accident. I do not put anything past some of Trump's associates.

new hate signs.................. Los Angeles (CNN) The "OK" hand gesture is now a hate symbol, according to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League.The ADL added that symbol along with several others on Thursday to its long-standing database of slogans and symbols used by extremists. The finger-and-thumb OK sign is universally known for meaning everything is all right or approval of something. But the ADL says while not everyone means it to be hateful, the sign has been co-opted by the alt-right. The OK hand gesture and its link to white nationalism began as a hoax cooked up by users of the website 4chan, who falsely linked it to white supremacy, according to the ADL. It was meant to bait the media or people with liberal ideals to overreact, ADL experts say, and therefore look ridiculous for condemning such an innocuous sign. But in 2019, the sign was adopted by some white nationalists. "At least some white supremacists seem to have abandoned the ironic or satiric intent behind the original trolling campaign and used the symbol as a sincere expression of white supremacy," the ADL posted in its report. Their experts point to Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant, who stands accused of massacring 51 people at two New Zealand mosques in March. Tarrant was pictured using the OK symbol during a courtroom appearance soon after his arrest. Tarrant has pleaded not guilty. "We believe law enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images, which can serve as a first warning sign to the presence of haters in a community or school," Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO said in a statement. Other new symbols of hateAlso added to their new list of hate symbols -- Dylan Roof's bowlcut, the "Happy Merchant" and "Moon Man" images. The bowl cut image or emoji is used by white supremacists to symbolize Roof, who shot to death nine black people in 2015 as they prayed in the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The "Happy Merchant" depicts an extreme stereotype of a Jewish man rubbing his hands together, which is meant to symbolize greed. "Moon Man" is a play on a 1980's era McDonald's commercial that featured a man wearing a crescent moon costume. White supremacists use the character to make videos where he raps using racist rhetoric. The slogan Diversity = White Genocide has also been added. "These are the latest calling cards of hate," Mark Pitcavage, Senior Fellow in ADL's Center on Extremism said. "We pay special attention to those symbols that exhibit staying power as well as those that move from online usage into the real world." ** www.cnn.com/2019/09/26/us/adl-new-hate-symbols/index.html

Takes awhile, but I knew that name, but couldn't place it... FOUND it!! Wohl drew attention in 2018 after news outlets reported his and Jack Burkman's failed plot to discredit Robert Mueller, the U.S. Special Counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, by attempting to frame him for sexual misconduct.[2][9][7] In April 2019, Wohl and Burkman again received media attention, this time for attempting to frame Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana and declared 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, for sexual assault.[18][19]Wohl has created and promulgated other false or unfounded claims and conspiracy theories, mainly against Democratic Party politicians such as Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and Ilhan Omar.[4][5][20] On February 26, 2019, Twitter permanently banned Wohl for violating its rules regarding creating and operating fake accounts.[21] To aid his schemes, Wohl created multiple fake private intelligence agencies,[22] and has fabricated death threats and protests against himself.[23][24] The National Futures Association (NFA) banned Wohl for life in 2017. The NFA had received investor complaints about his activity, and upon completing its investigation, concluded that Wohl was guilty of refusing to cooperate with the NFA as required, misrepresenting investments and misleading investors.[4][25][26] Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) charged Wohl with 14 counts of securities fraud in the same year, and forced him to pay $32,919 in restitution.[27][28][25] On August 19, 2019, felony arrest warrants were issued in California for Wohl and his former business partner, Matthew Johnson, for illicit sale of securities which took place in July and August 2016.[1] ** en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Wohl

These tweets were rattled off in a span of three hours this morning. These rants are by a scared paranoid little man who happens to have the codes to our nuclear weapons.

”nice call with with the new President of Ukraine, it could not have been better or more honorable, and the Fake News Media and Democrats, working as a team, have fraudulently made it look bad. It wasn’t bad, it was very legal and very good. A continuing Witch Hunt!”
&
”Rep. Adam Schiff fraudulently read to Congress, with millions of people watching, a version of my conversation with the President of Ukraine that doesn’t exist. He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it...”
”sound horrible, and me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!”
&
”Iran wanted me to lift the sanctions imposed on them in order to meet. I said, of course, NO!”
““IT WAS A PERFECT CONVERSATION WITH UKRAINE PRESIDENT!”
“Rep. Adam Schiff totally made up my conversation with Ukraine President and read it to Congress and Millions. He must resign and be investigated. He has been doing this for two years. He is a sick man!”
“The Democrats are now to be known as the DO NOTHING PARTY!”
“Sounding more and more like the so-called Whistleblower isn’t a Whistleblower at all. In addition, all second hand information that proved to be so inaccurate that there may not have even been somebody else, a leaker or spy, feeding it to him or her? A partisan operative?”

Second he is losing his mind because they accused him of misspelling a word and in his tweet blasting them for accusing him of mispelling he misspelled describing, using “discribing”.

Sometimes the smallest things make me unhinged. Him continually referring to his phone call as "perfect" is making me crazy. It sounds so incredibly stupid.
It's like my brain can't handle all the other unfathomably ridiculous things in just the tweets from this morning alone. So it focuses on his stupid "perfect phone call" and wants to scream!

I’m traveling and limited in my time to look stuff up right now - what version did Adam Schiff read to Congress? Where did it come from? In his opening statement he sort of summarized the call and made it into a (supposed) parody mafia-sounding request... I can see what he was going for, but it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, because it's been fodder for criticism from the moment he did it. I don't think it's grounds for his resignation, though, which is of course what DT thinks should happen. But then again, DT also thinks Nancy Pelosi isn't the Speaker of the House anymore, so... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is the essence of what the president communicates," Schiff said: "We've been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I don't see much reciprocity here." "I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though and I'm gonna say this only seven times, so you better listen good," Schiff continued, parodying Trump. "I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it... on this and on that.""I'm gonna put you in touch with people and not just any people. I'm gonna put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States...Bill Barr. He's got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him and I'm gonna put you in touch with Rudy. You're gonna love him, trust me," he said. "You know what I'm asking, so I'm only going to say this a few more times in a few more ways. And by the way, don't call me again; I'll call you when you've done what I asked." Closing out his pastiche, Schiff said: "This is in sum and character what the president was trying to communicate with the president of Ukraine." While some muffled laughter could be heard throughout Schiff's speech, Republicans took to Twitter to condemn the parody. Kayleigh McEnany, national press secretary for Trump's 2020 campaign, hit out at the California representative for having "literally just made up his own transcript." "Rather than reading from the actual transcript, he made up a new one," McEnany said. "What a HACK!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One more comment from Schiff (from a different news story): "“My summary of the president’s call was meant to be at least part in parody,” he said. “The fact that that’s not clear is a separate problem in and of itself.” The obvious implication here, and a sort of hanging of a lantern on the original objective, was that the parody wasn’t all that far from reality anyway. So much so that it could be mistaken for the real thing. “A problem in and of itself,” says Schiff."

I didn’t think it seemed like he was trying to quote verbatim, but it was a dumb decision because it gave the right a talking point and allowed them to deflect. They would have done so anyway, but we don’t have to hand it to them.

Rachel talked about this the other night and I’m glad MSNBC released a written version of what she was talking about.
trump is still fixated on those 30,000 emails of Hillary that were deleted. He thinks they exist and they are stashed on a server someplace. Apparently one of the places he thinks these emails are is in Ukraine. He is also implying the DNC hacked itself, released the emails just to blame Russia and therefore Russia is innocent of meddling in the 2016 election.
What is interesting about trump’s fixation on those emails, is he believes they are hidden someplace. My question is, if there was damaging information in those emails why in heaven’s name would Hillary want to keep them? Or if for some strange reason she did want to keep them, I’m pretty sure they would not be on somebody’s server but on a flash drive buried in her basement, if she has a basement.
From MSNBC...
“Trump's obsession with Clinton emails isn't just about Clinton emails”
“Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday in New York, and about halfway through their Q&A with reporters, someone asked the American leader whether he believes there are hidden Hillary Clinton emails in Ukraine.
"I think they could be," the Republican replied. "You mean the 30,000 that she deleted? Yeah, I think they could very well. Boy, that was a nice question. I like that question."
Trump proceeded to ramble for another 247 words about his former Democratic rival, her "great crimes," and the United States' "corrupt government." It was all plainly ridiculous, even by this president's standards.
But in context, there's a reason the email-related question came up in the first place, and it stems from the suddenly infamous phone call between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart two months ago. After Zelenskiy explained to the American leader how eager Ukraine is to get more military assistance from the United States, Trump quickly shifted to what he expected from Zelenskiy.
“"I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine. They say CrowdStrike," Trump told Zelenskiy, according to the text of the call made public Wednesday by the Trump administration. "The server, they say Ukraine has it."
He continued: "I would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it."
Obviously, the word "though" was doing a lot of work in that sentence, and it bolsters allegations that the presidents' conversation included a not-so-subtle quid pro quo. But it's the nature of the "favor" the Republican asked for that's worth considering -- because while Trump obviously pressed the Ukrainian leader for assistance in his 2020 re-election campaign, that came after Trump pressed Zelensky for help related to Clinton's emails and the hack of the Democratic National Committee'servers.
It's worth understanding why, nearly three years removed from the 2016 election, Trump would maintain this obsession.
In case this isn't already obvious, the basis for Trump's requested "favor" is a crackpot conspiracy theory that's plainly absurd. And while that's certainly a relevant detail, the larger question is why, even in 2019, he's made this crackpot conspiracy theory such a priority.
From Trump's perspective, if there's evidence that the conspiracy theory is true -- there isn't, of course, because it's ridiculous, but if he could uncover such evidence -- then he could claim that the United States' intelligence agencies were wrong; Vladimir Putin is right; and Russia didn't really attack the 2016 elections after all.
In other words, the White House has now confirmed that Trump wanted Zelensky's help in finding evidence that Russia -- the country that invaded Ukraine and took part of Ukraine by force -- is innocent.
We know why the American president wants Ukrainian assistance ahead of the 2020 race: Trump is desperate to win. But understanding why the Republican is pursuing nonsense related to the 2016 race with such vigor is more difficult.
Is Trump trying to remove the asterisk from his election victory? Is he harboring some unhealthy Clinton-related fixation for reasons unknown? Or is he trying to help his benefactors in Moscow, who are still facing sanctions as a result of their attack on our elections?

”Another person familiar with the discussions described the mood inside the White House as “shell-shocked,” with increasing wariness that as this impeachment inquiry drags out, the likelihood increases that the president could respond erratically and become “unmanageable.”

linkBrad Heath... ”DOJ: When the White House said President Trump had ordered the government to "provide for the immediate declassification" of Carter Page FISA documents, that wasn't true. Its lawyers "subsequently confirmed with the White House that there was and is no order to declassify." “ This is a pretty remarkable filing. DOJ is arguing to a federal court that what the White House told the public wasn't true.”
