Šarović jeste, jasno i glasno, pretio Martinoviću "osvežavanjem" - pre nego što je iko drugi iz opozicije stigao da reaguje, i sad MArtinović tvrdi da nije mogao da da reč nikome, jer su mu "pretili". Radikalske pičke rade svoj posao.

"For my friends who are enthusiastically supporting Jill Stein's effort to pursue recounts and an audit in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin:

I understand the motivation behind the effort, and I appreciate in theory the idea that this will give everyone better information even if it does not change the result. But it is important to understand what this will mean for the incoming President. If indeed the results do not change in this recount, then the entire effort will give the incoming President a powerful moment of symbolic legitimacy at precisely the time when he is flagrantly engaging in a tidal wave of corruption and kleptocracy in order to establish those behaviors as a new normal and intimidate the press and the American people away from challenging him.


This man and the people who surround him understand something that a lot of good people do not: norms and institutions are more important than laws and the enforcement of rules -- and, for predatory opportunists, they are therefore more dangerous. In the vast majority of cases, ordinary people limit their behavior because they wish to abide by norms and respect institutions, not because they will be prosecuted under the law or penalized under a rule. For people with no conscience and no sense of shame, norms and institutions are for chumps. They are also one of the biggest potential obstacles to their ability to act with impunity.

The incoming President and his team are actively seeking to violate norms of responsible behavior in the presidency and institutions like the press that serve as an outside check. When you look at their behavior and shake your head, thinking "But they're being so brazen about it," understand that this is the point. They are trying to shred these norms and delegitimize important institutions in a frontal assault that is so shocking to ordinary people of good conscience that we will feel overwhelmed and won't know how to react. Their goal is to have us acquiesce in all of this without mounting an effective response. If they do that, then those norms and institutions will be gravely weakened. The President and his team will use the very fact that we did not stand up to their outrages the first time to cast us as hypocrites or opportunists if we try to do so down the line.

Giving the incoming President a moment of triumph by prevailing in these recounts will grant him symbolic legitimacy that he will exploit relentlessly at the very moment when he is attempting to establish his outrageous behavior as acceptable and take a torch to the norms and institutions that would place limits on him.

I am not condemning the choice to conduct recounts. But I am deeply concerned. But there is a reason why Secretary Clinton and President Obama have warned people away from this effort, and it is not because they lack courage or a willingness to fight. They understand what this man and his team are, and what they are trying to do."

Populists aren’t just fantasy politicians; what they say and do can be in response to real grievances, and can have very real consequences. But it is important to appreciate that they aren’t just like other politicians, with a bit more rabble-rousing rhetoric thrown in. They define an alternative political reality in which their monopoly on the representation of the ‘real people’ is all that matters: in Trump’s case, an alt-reality under the auspices of the alt-right. At best, populists will waste years for their countries, as Berlusconi did in Italy. In the US, this will probably mean a free hand for K Street lobbyists and all-out crony capitalism (or, in the case of Trump, maybe capitalism in one family); continual attempts to undermine checks and balances (including assaults on judges as enemies of the people when they rule against what real citizens want; and life being made extremely difficult for the media); and government as a kind of reality TV show with plenty of bread and circuses. And the worst case? Regime change in the United States of America.

Hannity calls on Trump to freeze out the press

Fox News commentator Sean Hannity said that until journalists admit to colluding with Hillary Clinton’s campaign, President-elect Donald Trump should reconsider granting traditional access to reporters.
“Trump can do this and speak directly to you, the America people, without having his words twisted and taken out of context,” Hannity said on his Fox show Tuesday night, noting that the president-elect had put out a video announcing a plan for executive actions in his first 100 days in office. "Why not do that?”

Pointing to stolen emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, Hannity said those assigned to cover the former secretary of state’s campaign had failed to uphold the most basic requirements of their jobs.
“So until members of the media come clean about colluding with the Clinton campaign and admit that they knowingly broke every ethical standard they are supposed to uphold, they should not have the privilege, they should not have the responsibility of covering the president on behalf of you, the American people," added Hannity.
Hannity openly endorsed Trump during the campaign and hosted the Republican nominee on his program and at various town hall events across the country. In late September, Hannity also appeared in a pro-Trump video, which led a spokesperson for the cable channel to tell POLITICO at the time that the host would not be featured in anything similar for the rest of the campaign. The New York Times reported in August that Hannity had "for months peppered Mr. Trump, his family members and advisers with suggestions on strategy and messaging."
The White House Correspondents Association has expressed concern about the Trump transition team's handling of the press, and is pushing the president-elect to set up a so-called protective pool to monitor his movements, as is traditional. Trump's aides have said they will follow the usual protocol, but have provided few details.
Trump has not held a formal news conference since July 27, but he has taken shouted questions at his retreat in Bedminster, New Jersey, and granted interviews to CBS and Fox News. He also held an off-the-record meeting with executives and top network stars at his Trump Tower office, though he used the occasion to air grievances about coverage.
On Tuesday, during an interview with editors and writers from The New York Times, Trump said only that the press would be "happy" with his approach to the First Amendment.
"I think you’ll be happy. I think you’ll be happy," Trump said, acknowledging that he had threatened to loosen up libel laws as president.

"Actually, somebody said to me on that, they said, ‘You know, it’s a great idea, softening up those laws, but you may get sued a lot more.’ I said, ‘You know, you’re right, I never thought about that.’ I said, ‘You know, I have to start thinking about that.’ So, I, I think you’ll be OK. I think you’re going to be fine."

William Murderface wrote:"licemerju liberala"

Globalni trend opadanja poverenja u etablirane političke partije uz rast podrške vansistemskim kandidatima posledica je, između ostalog, ove odvratnosti spram licemerja. Lik koji se zaklinje u opšte dobro, a zapravo bi samo da krade ljigaviji je od onog koji otvoreno kaže: „Braćo mila, i ja bih malo krao.“

A u vremenu kad i levica i desnica u evropskoj politici temelje svoje kratkoročne programe na ksenofobiji i nacionalizmu logično je da birači veruju onima iz čijih usta te parole iskrenije zvuče.
