Mercer paid millions to target anti-Muslim ads at voters: report

Billionaire investor Robert Mercer pumped $2 million into a conservative nonprofit group that used Facebook and Google to target anti-Muslim ads toward certain voters in swing states in 2016, according to tax records obtained by the Center for Responsive Politics.

The ads - three in all - mimic travel advertisements intended to stoke fears of Muslim influence in France, Germany and the United States. Most voters were never exposed to the ads because they were targeted toward people most likely to be receptive to them, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The ads do not specifically mention the names of political candidates.

Mercer was among three donors that provided most of the funding for Secure America Now (SAN), the nonprofit group behind the ads that operates out of a law firm in Washington, D.C., the tax records show.

 

Mercer spent millions of dollars in 2016 to support the campaign of President Trump and is a prominent backer of conservative causes.

The other donors include Estee Lauder heir Ronald Lauder, who gave $1.1 million, and the secret-money group 45Committee, which pumped another $2 million into SAN. 

 

An additional $60,000 in reported contributions to the group came from former Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson, Republican donor Foster Friess and Olympus Ventures LLC, a company tied to the foundation created by Best Buy founder Dick Schulze, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Bloomberg News first reported in October 2017 that SAN worked directly with employees at Google and Facebook to target the ads toward a specific audience determined to be more receptive to their message.

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman met with Jared Kushner in October

Salman has since bragged about using classified intelligence from Kushner as part of a crackdown on 'corrupt' princes and businessmen in Saudi Arabia

He said the intelligence from Kushner included information on those who were disloyal to Salman and who were his 'enemies', insiders tell DailyMail 

Kushner's attorney's spokesman said it was 'false' that the president's son-in-law passed on secrets and that he was 'well aware of the rules'

The crown prince launched his crackdown on corruption in November, days after he met Kushner for talks in Riyadh

Hundreds were rounded up, including princes from rival parts of the Saudi royal family and some of the country's wealthiest businessmen

But the crackdown saw accusations of torture and at least one reported death

A Jewish guy handed U.S. intelligence to a Muslim guy.  I just want to congratulate all of the white nationalists for being so calm and forgiving about these things.  They've really learned to quell their emotional outbursts.  The white power movement is maturing everyday.

Ivanka Trump will be a part of her father's official delegation next week as he makes his first trip to Latin America since taking office. 

A senior official said Thursday that the first daughter who volunteers her time as an unpaid adviser to President Trump will be making the trip to Lima, Peru, with the administration for the Summit of the Americas.

'She'll be championing women's economic power issues in the region,' the source said.

First lady Melania Trump is not going on the trip, her spokeswoman said, citing the upcoming state dinner at the White House and the president's summit with the Japanese prime minister at Mar-a-Lago.

President Donald Trump on Thursday ditched his “boring” prepared remarks at a tax roundtable in West Virginia, instead repeating his claim that “millions” of people are voting illegally and boasting that he was right about the threat of Mexican rapists.

“You know, this was going to be my remarks, it would’ve have taken about two minutes, but to hell with it,” the president said, tossing papers up in the air. “That would have been a little boring, a little boring.”

 

The event, where the president and state officials were slated to discuss the GOP’s massive tax overhaul, quickly veered off-track as the president doubled down on some of his most incendiary and unsubstantiated claims.

Trump, who in announcing the launch of his presidential campaign in 2015 denounced the alleged “rapists” coming into the U.S. from Mexico, bragged that the caravan of immigrants that marched through Mexico in recent days bolstered his claim.

"Remember my opening remarks at Trump Tower when I opened? Everybody said, ‘Oh, he was so tough.' I used the word rape,” the president said. “And yesterday it came out where this journey coming up, women are raped at levels that nobody has ever seen before.”

A New York Times report published Wednesday found that the caravan, which has since broken up, largely consisted of women and children who were fleeing violence and crime.

Fresh off a White House declaration that the president directed officials to deploy the National Guard to the southern U.S. border to curb illegal immigration, Trump railed against “chain migration” and rebuked Democratic officials for not addressing border security at the legislative level.

The president also revisited his widely-debunked claim that “millions” of people illegally cast ballots in elections.

“In many places like California the same person votes many times. You’ve probably heard of that,” Trump said. “They always like to say, ‘Oh, that’s like a conspiracy theory.’ Not a conspiracy theory folks. Millions and millions of people. And it’s very hard because the state guards their records. They don’t want to see it.”

WTF is "raped at levels nobody has ever seen before?"  Like, before, rape never exceeded a level 10, but these rapes go to 11?  Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS HE EVEN SAYING?

And the millions of voter shit -- he's in full-on conspiracy idiot mode.  The absence of evidence is actually PROOF that it happened.  That's where we are, folks.  The President.  Of the United States of America.  The PRESIDENT is just making shit up to attack the integrity of our electoral process, and thus our entire government.

How is this okay?  In any fucking way, on any fucking planet, how is that okay?

You know why those leaks are occurring? Because the people in the room know that Trump's withdrawal plan would be a disaster if implemented. Yet if they try to change his mind, or even explain why its a bad idea, he gets pissed. The only way to stop the plan is to leak it, and hope the public shaming and humiliation has some affect on the Orange Dipshit.

This is exactly right.  But he's going to pull those troops out of Syria, and Russia/Iran/Turkey are going to carve it right up.

We are building it and fixing miles and miles of wall that’s already up and fence. We're going to have our wall, we're going to get it very strongly, the military is going to be building some of it, but we're going to have very strong borders and we have to change our laws and we’re working on doing that.”

Shocking that the man behind the Obama birther conspiracy would also be peddling this bullshit. The President of the US lies routinely to bolster whatever bullshit story he desires. It's not even debatable and yet 30-40% of the populace just nods approvingly. That's the reason we're so fucked. Trump is the symptom, not the illness. Not sure how we cure the disease.

CNN)President Donald Trump floated replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Scott Pruitt as recently as this week, even as the scandal-ridden head of the Environmental Protection Agency has faced a growing list of negative headlines, according to people close to the President.

"He was 100% still trying to protect Pruitt because Pruitt is his fill-in for Sessions," one source familiar with Trump's thinking told CNN. 

Though the President has, at times, floated several people a day for multiple positions in his administration that are already occupied, the proposition reveals just how frustrated Trump remains with Sessions because of his decision to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation more than a year ago, while signaling how confident he has remained in Pruitt despite a dizzying number of ethics issues.

Quote

When President Donald Trump made a congratulatory phone call to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, White House chief of staff John Kelly wasn’t on the line.

When Trump tapped John Bolton to be his next national security adviser, Kelly wasn’t in the room.

And when Trump spent a Mar-a-Lago weekend stewing over immigration and trade, Kelly wasn’t in sight.

Kelly, once empowered to bring order to a turbulent West Wing, has receded from view, his clout diminished, his word less trusted by staff and his guidance less tolerated by an increasingly go-it-alone-president.

Emboldened in his job, Trump has rebelled against Kelly’s restrictions and mused about doing away with the chief of staff post entirely. It’s all leading White House staffers and Trump allies to believe that Kelly is working on borrowed time.

In recent weeks, Trump has governed at breakneck pace, ousting aides and issuing surprise policy announcements on Twitter, recreating the helter-skelter feel of his first months in office. Kelly’s allies maintain that his retreat is strategic. They suggest that the belief that Kelly was Trump’s savior was an overstated idea all along and that the chief of staff is now content to loosen the reins and allow an increasingly comfortable president to govern from his gut.

But those close to the president say Trump has increasingly expressed fatigue at Kelly’s attempts to shackle him and say that while Trump is not ready to fire Kelly, he has begun gradually freezing out his top aide.

Trump recently told one confidant that he was “tired of being told no” by Kelly and has instead chosen to simply not tell Kelly things at all, according to a person who was not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity.
