This is the case with racism, which is a major part of our culture and has only one real function: to justify the economic domination of one group over another. The removal of that economic function leaves a void out of which nonsense and confusions spew. And matters are made worse when one plants the root of their being in the void of their race. When the nothingness of race is exposed by the violence of some counter fact or event or personality, an existential crisis erupts. Many of the Tea people in the early years of Obama's presidency experienced just this crisis. And if they were mentally unsound, the void of racism collapsed their fragile mind into the singularity of a madness. They became the void from which nonsense and confusions spewed. This is why you can't fight or argue with a mentally ill racist. There is nothing there to fight.

Trump, I think, is at this stage of madness. The signs are everywhere. Think of the bizarre cabinet meeting that happened yesterday. Think of how he praised himself and had members of his cabinet praise him. Many thought the whole performance had something to do with Comey's testimony. Trump was trying to show the public that he had survived the challenge and was working hard for all Americans. But I contend the reason for the performance was actually the sting of a statement made by John McCain the day before the cabinet meeting. The senator agreed that as far as American leadership is concerned," the US was on sturdier ground under President Obama. Trump does not have the kind of mind that can let a comment of that kind pass without a strong reaction. Obama is a black man. He is a white man. Being a white president means he is better than a black president. Before the cabinet meeting, Trump told reporters that he is the best and busiest president since F.D.R.

This Friday, Trump is to "announce changes in U.S. policy toward Cuba, possibly tightening restrictions on travel and trade that were loosened under former President Barack Obama." Think about this for a moment: six out of 10 Republicans are happy about the way things currently stand with Cuba. Combine those numbers with Dems, and you have a huge majority of Americans at odds with Trump's policy changes, which are nonsensical because Cuba poses no threat to US military and economic interests. But he has to do this thing because he can't think around, think through, think over, think under the black skin of his predecessor. This is the void talking. The mentally ill racist I would pass on the street is now in the Oval Office.

You're Probably Wrong About an Obama Daughter's Name - Newser

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on Thu., Jan. 12, 2017, during the committee's confirmation hearing for Defense Secretary-designate James Mattis.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona has said that U.S. leadership was better under President Barack Obama than his successor, President Trump, The Guardian reported Sunday.

The Republican leader, who has never shied away from criticizing Mr. Trump, was responding to a question asking if America's stance on the global stage was better during the Obama administration.

"As far as American leadership is concerned, yes," McCain responded.

McCain, the chairman on the Senate Armed Services Committee, lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election and was highly critical of his administration's foreign policy agenda.

The U.K. newspaper described the 80-year-old senator as "visibly irked" when he was asked about Mr. Trump'stweets criticizing London Mayor Sadiq Khan, which came shortly after a terror attack that left eight dead and dozens injured.

"What do you think the message is? The message is that America doesn't want to lead," McCain said. "They are not sure of American leadership, whether it be in Siberia or whether it be in Antarctica."

In his tweets aimed at London's mayor, Mr. Trump said that Khan offered a "pathetic excuse" and "had to think fast on his 'no reason to be alarmed' statement." But the president mischaracterized Kahn's statement as he was referring to the city's increased police presence -- not about the terror attack itself.

In an interview with CBS News' "Face the Nation,"Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said the president's tweets have done more harm than good.

"There's a lynch mob mentality about the Trump administration in the press, but these tweets that he does feeds that lynch mob," Graham said. "You're your own worst enemy here, Mr. President. Knock it off."

Sen. McCain says U.S. leadership was better under Obama

Former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey says President Obama may be guilty of obstruction of justice in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email.

President Obamas statement that he thought she shouldnt be charged because she didnt intend to violate the law is the real Clinton obstruction because that is a statement by him that this is the way I want that investigation to come out, Mukasey said Tuesday in an interview with FOX Business Network's Maria Bartiromo. He was introducing an element that was not in the statute to know youre violating the law and he was saying that, that was the way he wanted the investigation to end. Obviously the Justice Department picked up on that.

In his testimony last week, former FBI Director James Comey said Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch asked him to call the Hillary Clinton probe a matter, not an investigation, but Mukasey said thats not breaking the law.

Thats, I think, not obstruction because shes simply playing the same card the Clinton campaign is playing, Mukasey said.

On Tuesday, President Trump said on Twitter thatLynch committed a crime and gave Hillary Clinton a free pass and protection.

Meanwhile Democratic lawmaker Diane Feinstein said she wanted to open an investigation into Loretta Lynchs statement, but Mukasey said calling it a matter is just the tip of the iceberg.

Then youre talking about how come the Justice Department didnt use the Grand Jury. How come they interviewed her at the end andtwo days laterJim Comey came out with a statement, Mukasey said, noting that the Lynch interview was not recorded. This was an un-serious investigation.

Amid unprecedented policy shifts and loose rhetoric on foreign policy from the Trump administration, Arizona Sen. John McCain said that American leadership was better under former President Barack Obama.

McCain, a frequent Republican critic of President Donald Trump, slammed the former real estate mogul in an interview with The Guardian, saying the world is "not sure of American leadership, whether it be in Siberia or whether it be in Antarctica."

McCain's comments in a story published Sunday were a direct response to the president's Twitter habits. After the recent terrorist attacks on the London Bridge, Trump used 140 characters to blast London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim mayor of a major western European city.

Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his no reason to be alarmed' statement, Trump wrote on June 5, in an attempt to use the attacks, which left eight people dead, to defend his controversial travel ban on refugees and immigrants from certain Muslim-majority nations.

The legality of the travel ban is still being dueled out in the courts, but criticism from the entire political spectrum ensued, as the president's statement mischaracterized what the mayor said and also the message it sent to one of the United States' most crucial allies.

What do you think the message is? The message is that America doesnt want to lead, McCain said.

Trump's loose, freewheeling approach to foreign policy could continue to have larger ramifications for the country's diplomatic relations. The president reportedly wont visit the United Kingdom until he feels the British public would welcome him, he told U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May in a phone conversation in recent weeks.
