Various branches of the establishment – Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the media – are now unleashing their arsenal on the Trump campaign. So, being the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska puts Palin ahead of Trump which is saying a LOT.

TRUMP: And we’ll do better and yet we’ll have a better relationship with Russian Federation. What we don’t know for certain is just what that reasonis.
You could start with his campaign manager Paul Manafort.
I think the Journal may be misreading it and that when Mr. Trump said “He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right”, the “he” was President Obama, not Mr. Putin.
“In 2014, during a speech at CPAC[,] Trump, though, boasted about meeting with Putin’s advisers – even receiving a gift and personal note from Putin during the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow….”
It is theoretically possible, I suppose, that Trump is telling the truth and everyone else is lying – although in the case of the Putin relationship, it’s Trump’s word against Trump’s. He also said that, if elected president, he would “take a look at” recognizing the Black Sea peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, as Russian territory. Several companies have pointed to Russian groups as responsible for the hack.
Donald Trump suggested that Russian Federation might also hack Hillary Clinton’s email server and recover 30,000 emails (which are not ‘missing, ‘ but were personal emails deleted by a team of lawyers who reviewed the server).
“It is necessary not to forget that the so-called referendum was not recognized by anyone, and took place under the conditions of an occupation, without a hint of legal or legitimate monitoring”, she said. This comes as legitimate talk from the stalwarts of the Republican party addresses abandoning their support for the nominee, a full-planked mutiny.
None of that is speculation.
Also within the week, Trump lied in complaining about the presidential debate schedule and its conflicts with professional football.
Let’s look at some facts.
On Sunday’s “Meet the Press”, Manafort said that the effort to keep the platform from supporting arms for Ukraine, which I first reported last month, “absolutely did not come from the Trump campaign”.
It was a ludicrous statement because Cpt. He could have explained that at a time when war is increasingly economic, his experience as a successful negotiator would make him more effective than the Democrats have been in foreign affairs. Reporters shouted questions and implored him to answer about his comments concerning the Khan family, the parents of a fallen veteran who have been feuding with Trump over the last week. “A realistic view tells me that all is not so simple”.
Hillary Clinton may have her finger on this button. She had nothing to say.
Trump accused CNN of “inaccurate information”, and said he won’t be doing any of their shows until they “straighten up”. “That is the only point”. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say.
This runs counter to the position of the Obama administration and the European Union, which have imposed punishing sanctions on Russian Federation in response to the annexation.
“Well, absolutely”, Pierson said. I’m going with Josh’s version on this one – as should any sentient being. “Trump made clear Friday on Twitter that he was talking about “‘Little’ Michael Bloomberg, who never had the guts to run for president”. It is absolutely absurd. “You wanna go back?”
To date, nobody is “putting the onerous” on Donald Trump for Cpt. “He’s done so much to hurt our country with our global relations”.

This sort of chutzpah is right out of Trump’s playbook. Do we mean someone acting in service, but not on behalf of them?
