GOP lawmaker: voting against Trump’s wishes comparable to adultery
04/05/18 09:20 AM
By Steve Benen
The Republicans’ Senate primary in Indiana is one of the most contentious in the country this year, but Rep. Todd Rokita (R) believes he knows how to win the GOP nomination: by celebrating his unyielding support for Donald Trump.
In his new television ad, the Indiana congressman literally puts on a red “Make America Great Again” cap and vows to “proudly stand with” the president – more than his primary rivals.
About a thousand miles to the west, Rep. Kevin Cramer (R), who’s taking on Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D), went a little further, telling a conservative radio host this week that he sees voting against Trump’s wishes as being comparable to adultery. CNN reported yesterday:
Here is a quotation by The Rev. Dr. William Barber from a book I am reading this morning:

Trump quietly met with a major tech CEO who is locked in competition with Amazon for a Pentagon contract worth billions

https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews/status/981551517495971840
The election of Donald Trump — built as it was on several long-term trends that converged in 2016 — has created an authoritarian moment. This somewhat surprising development is the subject of “Remaking Partisan Politics through Authoritarian Sorting,” a forthcoming book by the political scientists Christopher Federico, Stanley Feldman and Christopher Weber, who argue that
Three trends — polarization, media change, and the rise of what many people see as threats to the traditional social order — have contributed to a growing divide within American politics. It is a divide between those who place heavy value on social order and cohesion relative to those who value personal autonomy and independence.
The three authors use a long-established authoritarian scale — based on four survey questions about which childhood traits parents would like to see in their offspring — that asks voters to choose between independence or respect for their elders; curiosity or good manners; self-reliance or obedience; and being considerate or well-behaved. Those respondents who choose respect for elders, good manners, obedience and being well-behaved are rated more authoritarian.
The authors found that in 1992, 62 percent of white voters who ranked highest on the authoritarian scale supported George H.W. Bush. In 2016, 86 percent of the most authoritarian white voters backed Trump, an increase of 24 percentage points.

“Black Panther” is set to break Saudi Arabia’s 35-year cinema ban.
http://variety.com/2018/film/global/black-panther-to-break-saudi-arabias-35-year-cinema-ban-1202744703/
Disney and its Middle East distribution partner, Italia Film, will be releasing the Marvel superhero blockbuster April 18 in a new AMC-branded movie theater in Riyadh with a gala premiere, an Italia Film spokesman said.
The “Black Panther” bow will mark the first public screening in the kindgom since movie theaters were banned in the early 1980s, after Saudi Arabia adopted ultraconservative religious standards in 1979. Removal of the ban, announced last December, is part of a drive by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to transform Saudi society.
“Black Panther” will inaugurate the new Saudi era in a luxurious cinema in a building originally intended to be a symphony concert hall. The facility, in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District, has more than 600 leather seats, on orchestra and balcony levels, and marble bathrooms.
AMC Entertainment, which is owned by Chinese conglomerate Dalian Wanda, expects to open up to 40 cinemas in Saudi Arabia within five years and up to 100 theaters in Saudi Arabia by the year 2030.
With a population of 32 million, 70% of whom are under the age of 30, and a relatively affluent citizenry, some analysts expect that Saudi Arabia could eventually produce $1 billion in revenues and be among the top 10 markets for theatrical revenues. AMC and the Development and Investment Entertainment Company, which issued the license for AMC to operate, have said their goal is to achieve approximately a 50% market share of the Saudi Arabian movie theater industry.
Other exhibitors building cinemas in the country include iPic, Empire, Vue, CJ CGV, Cinépolis, and Dubai-based Vox Cinemas and Cinemacity.
Not surprised by this move. The younger Saudis will marvel, PUN intended, at BP, as the charcters-cast are POC, like them.
McConnell points to ‘the most consequential decision’ of his career
04/05/18 08:40 AM
By Steve Benen
Exactly one year ago this week, Senate Republicans changed the chamber’s rules, executed the so-called “nuclear option” to prohibit filibusters of Supreme Court nominees, and confirmed Neil Gorsuch to the high court.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters shortly before the confirmation vote, “As I look back on my career, I think the most consequential decision I’ve ever been involved in was the decision to let the president being elected last year pick the Supreme Court nominee.”
A year later, his opinion has not changed.
I hate these people.

Trump Admin Wants To Cut Internet for Poor Americans
NEW FCC POLICY WOULD BE A ‘DEATH SENTENCE’ FOR PUERTO RICANS RECOVERING FROM HURRICANE IRMA
BY NICOLE GOODKIND ON 4/5/18 AT 6:30 AM
A new rule championed by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai would would limit internet and phone access for millions of low-income and elderly Americans.
Pai’s proposed changes to the Lifeline Program, which currently serves 12 million Americans by providing subsidized phone and internet service, would cut service to about 70 percent, or 8 million, of them. Many of these recipients live in Puerto Rico, and rely on Lifeline for assistance as they recover from Hurricane Irma.
Last week, a group of Democratic Senators including Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand Jeff Merkley, Bernie Sanders, Edward J. Markey, Ron Wyden, Richard Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin and Cory Booker wrote a letter to the chairman questioning his motives.
“The Lifeline Program is essential for millions of Americans who rely on subsidized internet access to find jobs, schedule doctor’s appointments, complete their school assignments, interface with the government, and remain connected in a digital economy,” they wrote. “The program helps Americans — including disproportionate numbers of families with children, veterans and people of color — survive.”

MEXICO BORDER WALL: OREGON GOVERNOR TELLS TRUMP SHE’LL REFUSE ORDER TO SEND GUARD TROOPS SOUTH
BY SHANE CROUCHER ON 4/5/18 AT 5:07 AM
Governor Kate Brown said she will refuse any order from President Donald Trump to send Oregon’s guard troops down south to the US-Mexico border.
Trump wants National Guard troops sent to the Mexican border as his effort to build an impenetrable wall stalls because his administration is struggling to secure enough funds from Congress or other sources. He originally said Mexico would pay for the wall, but it has refused.
In a presidential memorandum authorizing the request of deployment of Guards to the border, Trump says U.S. security is “imperiled by a drastic surge of illegal activity”, in particular drug trafficking by gangs and unlawful immigration.
He said it is a “crisis” of “lawlessness” at the southern border.
