The most effective way to prevent a nuclear war with North Korea is to reassure them that the U.S. won't strike first. Former National Security Council Director Peter Feaver recently told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that "even a single nuclear detonation" could "trigger an escalatory spiral that would lead to civilization-threatening outcomes."
A Turkish-Iranian gold trader yesterday told jurors in a New York federal court that Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoAYan authorized a transaction in a scheme to help Iran evade US sanctions. Reza Zarrab is cooperating with US prosecutors in the criminal trial of a Turkish bank executive accused of helping to launder money for Iran.
Late Friday night, Republicans released a 479-page amendment to their tax bill. Republican leaders are planning to vote on the bill on Friday or early Saturday morning, and it is expected to pass.
For a man who is so obsessed with size, tonight's pathetically tiny showing at the Washington, DC Christmas Tree Lighting has got to really sting. After all, Donald Trump promises that we can finally say "Merry Christmas" again...which would imply that we haven't been saying it, forever.
The Trump administration is holding talks on providing nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia - a move that critics say could upend decades of U.S. policy and lead to an arms race in the Middle East. The Saudi government wants nuclear power to free up more oil for export, but current and former American officials suspect the country's leaders also want to keep up with the enrichment capabilities of their rival, Iran.

People watch Election results at the Javits Center November 8, 2016 in New York City, New York. "HAHA," a typical tweet read, "reading this while sipping coffee from LIBERAL TEARS MUG!" Often there would be a response, thanking the Twitter user for providing a link and claiming that they, too, had ordered a mug.
James O'Keefe's latest sad attempt to own liberals included hiring a woman to pose as a sexual assault survivor in order to defend a reported child molester -- and that says a lot about the political media world that allows him to thrive. Weeks after the The Washington Post first broke the story that several women reported that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore had sexually harassed or assaulted them when they were teenagers, the paper published several new stories on the matter -- this time detailing an apparent "undercover sting operation" aimed at its reporters.
Honestly, the whole Code Talkers event was just bizarre. A lovely speech by Peter McDonald, one of the Code Talkers, and then Trump just was at peak narcissism and idiocy: https://t.co/gt5XhPkVf5 MR.
You've heard the news, to be sure. Today is Cyber Monday, a day when online businesses are said to offer steep discounts, so you can get a huge range of things for cheap.
You've heard the platitude that hindsight is 20/20. It's true enough and, though I've been a regular skeptic about what policymakers used to call the Global War on Terror, it's always easier to poke holes in the past than to say what you would have done.
I'm pretty good at picking them, though that's not difficult. The wankers leave a long paper trail. They wank a lot. Some of these are so obvious I don't need to bother saying anything more. Whatever happened to Mark Halperin?
I confess to being troubled rather than elated by the daily rumble of idols falling to accusations of "sexual misconduct," the morbid masscult fixation that conceals private titillation, knowing smirks, and sadistic lip-smacking behind a public mask of solemn reproof. Weinstein and Trump and Roy Moore and Bill Clinton are vile pigs and creeps, no doubt; I have always detested the smug neoliberal performance-art strut of Al Franken and the careerist-toady journalism of Glenn Thrush and Charlie Rose , the latest dominoes to tumble amid the barrage of public accusations of "inappropriate" advances or touching.
Poor Richard Spencer. Purveyor of white nationalism, face of the alt-Right and President of the National Policy Institute has reportedly been banned from 26 European countries.
The former Director of US Office of Gov't Ethics Walter Shaub has filed a complaint against Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway for violating the Hatch Act by using her position in the White House to promote a candidate while attacking another. CLC has filed a Hatch Act complaint against Kellyanne Conway for using her official White House title to advocate for a political candidate.
Speaking as an uppity liberal feminazgA l, I really hope that The Colluding with Russia to Torque the Election Is No Different Than Carrying Out the Duties of the Secretary of State or the President of the United States Defense doesn't catch on with Team Peach Pervert.
Welfare reform was one of the defining issues of President Bill Clinton's presidency, starting with a campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it," continuing with a bitter policy fight and producing an overhaul law that remains hotly debated 20 years later. Trump, who has been signaling interest in the issue for some time, said Monday at a Cabinet meeting that he wants to tackle welfare reform after the tax overhaul he is seeking by the end of the year.
In a move that could signal cooperation with the government, lawyers for former national security adviser Michael Flynn have told President Donald Trump's legal team that they are no longer communicating with them about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. Flynn's legal team communicated the decision this week, said a person familiar with the move who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
