“ Because he saw these mob guys as pathways to money , and Donald is all about money . ” From a $ 400 million tax giveaway on his first big project , to getting a casino license , to collecting fees for putting his name on everything from bottled water and buildings to neckties and steaks , Trump ’s life has been dedicated to the next big score . Through Cohn , Trump made choices that — gratuitously , it appears — resulted in his first known business dealings with mob - controlled companies and unions , a pattern that continued long after Cohn diedlife.die.nonviolentdeath. What Trump has to say about the reasons for his long , close and wide - ranging dealings with organized crime figures , with the role of mobsters in cheating Trump Tower workers , his dealings with Felix Sater and Trump ’s seeming leniency for Weichselbaum , are questions that voters deserve full answers about before casting their ballots .

The new Clinton emails cover topics such as : the administration ’s Iran policy ; Obama ’s stimulus program ; the sharing of “ management issues ” with “ Maggie ” Williams , former campaign manager for Clinton ’s 2008 presidential campaign ; confusion over voice mail versus text messages ; image coaching from 2008 campaign advisor Doug Hattaway ; and a thank you note from Mark Hyman for “ opening the door ” for a Senate hearing on functional medicine ; as well email detailing incoming calls from China and Russia .

To my mind , it ’s far from accidental that for the last few decades , every presidential election here in the US has been enlivened by bumper stickers calling on voters to support the presidential ambitions of Cthulhu , the tentacled primeval horror out of H.P. Lovecraft ’s tales of cosmic dread . I ’m sorry to say that the Elder God ’s campaign faces a serious constitutional challenge , as he was spawned on the world of Vhoorl in the twenty - third nebula and currently resides in the drownedlife.die.nonviolentdeathcorpse - city of R’lyeh , and as far as I know neither of these are US territory . Still , his bid for the White House has gotten further than most other imaginary candidacies , and I ’ve long thought that the secret behind that success is Cthulhu ’s campaign slogan : “ Why settle for the lesser evil ? ” The reason that this slogan reliably elicits laughter , in turn , is that the entire rhetoric of presidential politics in the United States for decades now has fixated on the claim that one party ’s pet stooge wo n’t do anything quite as appalling as the other side ’s will , even though they all support the same policies and are bought and sold by the same corrupt interests .

“ It is not the refugee outflows that cause terrorism , it is terrorism , tyranny and war that create refugees , ” he said . “ It is clear that the Daesh ( Isis ) strategy is not only to set Europeans against refugees , but within Europe , to set citizen against citizen within communities , community against community within countries , and country against country in the Union . ” More than 133,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea so far this year , according to the UNHCR , with at least 400 drowninglife.die.nonviolentdeathin the attempt .
The crowd was almost entirely male , many of them ( apparently taking advantage of the under-30 registration discount ) young . A conspicuous number sported the Hitler Youth – inspired hairdo known as an “ undercut , ” short on the sides with a long part on top . In between encomia to the recently deceasedlife.die.nonviolentdeathanti - Semitic newspaper publisher Willis Carto and a recitation of pagan reveries by a white - separatist folk musician , attendees perused bookstalls featuring the conspiracy - mongering American Free Press newspaper and the Holocaust - denying Barnes Review . What drew me to spend an otherwise pleasant Saturday afternoon among a group of white supremacists was the buzz that Donald Trump ’s then - nascent presidential campaign had stirred within the movement . Trump ’s politics of resentment thrives on a sort of coded groupthink — namely , white groupthink .

The dispute over alleged conflicts of interest at the foundation ultimately degenerated into a highly personal dust - up between Chelsea Clinton and Band . Chelsea Clinton insisted that her goals in initiating the outside review were to “ professionalize the Foundation , build it for the future and build it in such a way that supported his [ Bill Clinton ’s ] work and mom ’s . ” However , she also complained that Band had agitated her father by pressing to preserve Teneo ’s ties , including in a phone call on the day Hillary Clinton ’s mother , Dorothy Rodham , passed awaylife.die.nonviolentdeath. “ I can not believe Doug did this on the day my grandmother died , ” Chelsea Clinton complained to several top Clinton advisers .

So that is just a variation of the impersonation claim . The idea is that rather than vote for someone who might be at the polling place , you can pick a dead person . And this is based on the fact that there was a study by Pew which found that there were up to 1.8 million deceasedlife.die.nonviolentdeathvoters on voting rolls . Our voting rolls are not kept up to date as well as they should be . And things have improved in the last few years since that Pew study .

Consider , for a moment , two people .

The other , as a young millionaire , exacted revenge on his recently deceasedlife.die.nonviolentdeathbrother 's family by cutting off the medical insurance desperately needed by his nephew 's newborn son , who at eighteen months of age was suffering from violent seizures brought on by a rare neurological disorder .

Bannon runs Breitbart News , a website that creates its own ultranationalist far - right reality — one that often bears little resemblance to the world as it really is . As I write , the site is claiming that Hillary Clinton has some serious undisclosed health problem ( her doctor says she is just fine ) , that one of Clinton ’s aides has “ very clear ties ” to radical Islam ( which is totally untrue ) and that Clinton herself has “ clear ties ” to Russian President Vladimir Putin ( when in fact it is Trump who often reveals his man - crush on the Russian leader ) .

Maybe we should have seen this loss of historical memory coming nearly 25 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union . Perhaps we should have heard the alarm bells of a 2011 Newsweek survey that reported 73 percent of Americans “ could n’t correctly say why we fought the Cold War ” in response to a question taken from the official test for U.S. citizenship . Ignorance of socialism and America ’s decadeslong struggle against it has become the norm , and the data suggest this norm will only harden as a generation of Americans pass awaylife.die.nonviolentdeathand national memory fades . For a generation with no memory of bomb shelter drills or sledgehammers smashing the Berlin Wall to pieces , the sad reality of life under socialist rule has been forgotten , and the lessons of the Cold War have been relegated to the “ ash heap of history ” alongside communism . Instead , the concept of socialism has often been confused with liberalism .
After reading the “ Tick Tock ” email released by WikiLeaks I found that it is in fact true . It ’s called the “ tick tock ” email , just recently released by Wikileaks .
