Hypocrisy is one of the few things Republicans are good at.
Everyone thinks Trump will walk out of the Iran deal. If he does, you’d expect Iran to get a bomb as fast as they can. I really wonder if there’s an ulterior motive to provoke them to do exactly that, so Bibi has an excuse to launch the war he’s been itching to start for years.

Alan Grayson.
Rep. Alan Grayson’s ex-wife repeatedly went to police with accusations of domestic abuse over a two-decade period, according to documents she has provided to POLITICO, revelations that come as the Florida congressman enters the final weeks of his Democratic primary campaign for Senate.
Lolita Grayson called police on her husband at least two times in Virginia and two more times in Florida, sought medical attention on at least two occasions and said that, in one instance, he had threatened to kill her, according to a police report.

“You can’t jump to conclusions with these types of things,” Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina told The New York Times.

Clyburn told the Times he was unsure if the allegations against Conyers “have any real substance.”

Sen. Tom Carper, a Delaware Democrat, admitted to slapping his first wife in a 1998 interview, which was unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon on Thursday.
‘Did I slap my wife 20 years ago? Yes,’ Carper said. ‘Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? No,’ the longtime First State politician told Delaware reporter Celia Cohen, who included the admission in her book ‘Only in Delaware,’ which is sold on the state’s official website.
Carper was initially outed for the transgression against his now ex-wife Diane, a former Miss Delaware he had married in 1978, by the New York Post in 1982, as he was running for his first Congressional term.

Schneiderman let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors
Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014.
New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.”
But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

DOJ reportedly launches new probe into Clinton Foundation

Republicans not learning
George W Bush tosses North Korea nuclear agreement seemingly for no reason except a desire to overturn anything Bill Clinton achieved.
Would the agreement have kept NK from developing a nuke? What is sure is some 20 years later NK has nuclear weapons though I’m still not convinced they can successfully launch one and have it detonate successfully.
And along comes the next Republican President tearing up a Nuclear agreement out of seemingly a desire to do everything to eliminate a Democrat President’s achievements.
Republicans are stupid and dangerous.

George W Bush tosses North Korea nuclear agreement seemingly for no reason except a desire to overturn anything Bill Clinton achieved.
Or more likely, because of this:
October 16, 2002: The United States announces that North Korea admitted to having a clandestine program to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons after James Kelly, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, confronted representatives from Pyongyang during an October 3-5 visit. Kelly later explained that the North Korean admission came the day after he informed them that the United States was aware of the program. North Korea has denied several times that it admitted to having this program.

What do Clinton and Obama have in common? They each negotiated agreements that were violated by the other side. And they each made deals with the devil in order to put up with Hillary.

@28
Still Dumbfucking
After less than three months in office Bush Tells NK ambassador that he will pull out of the agreement though UN and US inspectors advise against and agree that NK has not re-upped the program. They’ve been inspecting regularly.
That march 2001 declaration scuttled proposed peace talks (Sunshine) between N and S Korea. NK two years AFTER that declaration by Jr Bush is detected pursuing Nuclear arms again.
The analogy holds.
Inexperienced dumbfuck decides to kill a non proliferation agreement well before being elected and acts on it because, well the last guy I didn’t like.

Trust me. It’s an “absolute lock”.
Not to mention a thrice bankrupt real estate speculator who’s entire worldview is shaped by a couple talking heads on a fake news network who insisted the incompetent negro can’t negotiate a peace deal so it is clearly handing nukes to Iran.
“Your ilk claimed halos over incidents like this.”
A dumbfuck thing to say, naturally. Democrats deal with it now by getting people out of office and positions of power. Republicans deal with it by running them for office and appointing them to positions of power.
To be appalled by this stuff requires values. Sadly, you and your party no longer have any. Comments posted by valueless dumbfucks will be given their due regard, I’m sure.
For you and the GOP, it’s like stink and shit. You love to eat shit so you don’t mind the stink. Democrats mind both stink and shit, so they try to do something about people like Schneiderman. Watch, learn, and stop eating shit.
@30 Grandstanding. Trump will “pull out” of the Iran deal, “negotiate” a “new” agreement, extract a minor face-saving gesture from Iran, then take credit for a “better” agreement than Obama’s “terrible deal.”

Hey Teamsters members, are youse happy to learn that your union bosses are busy negotiating a way for youse to work on Sundays without earning overtime?
United Parcel Service Inc. and the Teamsters union are discussing a two-tier wage system that would allow the company to hire lower-paid workers to deliver packages on weekends, including Sundays, as the parcel giant seeks ways to manage the surge in e-commerce.
The proposal, raised in recent contract negotiations, calls for creating a “hybrid driver” position that would earn as little as $15 an hour and top out at an hourly wage of $30. These employees’ regular schedule would be Sunday to Thursday or Tuesday to Saturday, avoiding costly overtime.

@67
Dumbfuck doesn’t know much about the TV business. KCPQ is already a Fox Affiliate and gets the Fox National News Feed for inclusion in ‘Local’ broadcasts. The only thing that changes is it’s now an O&O instead of a subscribing affiliate.
I wonder if they still bounce that Fox feed on Intelsat3? Been out of that business a long time.
71,
I may not know much about it either, but isn’t what they are negotiating over actually a public license to use a portion of radio wave spectrum and gigantic inefficient as fuck transmission towers to shotgun a comparatively narrow band of media over a defined geographical area to television sets?
My last three computers cost less than my last three televisions. Two of them I can take wherever the fuck I want, whenever I want, and watch whatever I want on them. I can even “mirror cast” them onto great big screens wherever I go. Those same two computers also let me make phone calls, send email, text, unlock my mudroom door so the UPS guy can leave a package, make and edit movies, turn my sprinklers on, order Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to follow me around the house and out into the garden, book a table for dinner, order a car service, and buy a new computer.
I’ve never had a cable bill. Can’t imagine ever agreeing to such a fucked up, one-sided rip-off. But if I wanted to target aging pre-diabetic Dumbfucks with a 24/7 hate-stream of pimped-up fears of Mooslims. Meskins, hair-loss and erectile dysfunction and then “monetize” those fears, “television” would be my go-to, at least for another decade or two.

But there is nothing yet in the public record to indicate what they paid for. It wasn’t for legal services. That much is pretty clear. And perhaps these are remarkably naive global multi-national companies. But even in the fall of 2016 there would be no credible reason to think Michael Cohen would be able to influence President-elect PornoBortion. He couldn’t even get his calls through. He was frequently overheard by friends and acquaintances crying about it. And these are companies with large teams of lawyers that perform due diligence.
There’s more to it than “providing insight and understanding”. The sums are too large and the prospects of delivering value too small. They paid for something. We don’t know what they paid for. We only know what purposes Cohen set the LLC up for in the first place. Porno payoff hush money and abortions.

OK, market Chelsea Clinton, without using her family’s erstwhile power and fame. How do you make her attractive to a Mark Mezvinsky?
I mean, “Look at that face!”.
@86 Maybe all the CEOs have pornstar mistresses?
@93 Not my problem. Ask her how she does it. However, there’s no mystery in how to market a medical school’s most dumbfuck student: You make him a radiologist and park him in a windowless lab down in the basement where he’ll only look at pictures and never come in contact with any real live patients. This keeps the horses and goats safe, too, until he retires.
“I don’t believe torture works,” the torturer says.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/cia-nominee-gina-haspel-defends-role-enhanced-interrogation-n872521
Well, Dubya had at least one honest employee.
I remember when Republicans denied torturing anyone. Then, when confronted with irrefutable proof (e.g., videos and witnesses) that they had tortured people, they justified it by claiming torture saved lives. Then it turned out that many of the people they tortured were innocent and had no useful information, which even a child can see doesn’t save any lives. Now, when they’re trying to put a torturer in charge of the CIA, the best rationalization of her past behavior that she can offer is to squeak that she’s not going to do it again because torturing innocent people who have no useful information doesn’t work. Not because it’s illegal, immoral, repulsive, and wrong to torture innocent people, but because it doesn’t work.
The last time Germans did something similar to this, we hauled them before tribunals, then hanged them.
Oh, and given that Trump suggested during his campaign that he might reinstate torture, and now that he’s picked a torturer to run the CIA, why would anyone believe her when she says she’s not going to torture people again because it doesn’t work, when she’ll be working for a boss who believes it does work?

Novartis believed that Michael Cohen could advise the company as to how the Trump administration might approach certain US healthcare policy matters, including the Affordable Care Act. The agreement was for a term of one year, and paid Essential Consultants 100,000 USD per month. In March 2017, Novartis had its first meeting with Michael Cohen under this agreement. Following this initial meeting, Novartis determined that Michael Cohen and Essential Consultants would be unable to provide the services that Novartis had anticipated related to US healthcare policy matters and the decision was taken not to engage further. As the contract unfortunately could only be terminated for cause, payments continued to be made until the contract expired by its own terms in February 2018.
Fraud isn’t “cause”?
Two payments into their agreement they figure out Cohen is hustling them and they continue to make an additional ten payments? Not credible. And certainly not sufficient to shield them from shareholder lawsuits. Might be a good time to “spend more time with family”.
“We’ll be going out to celebrate tonite”

I thought the Breakfast Club went out with the 80s. Like, when the Dems needed someone who knew enough not to look like an idiot in a tank.
Novartis reports that they were first contacted by OSC about the suspicious transactions in November of last year, five months before the FBI obtained warrants to search Cohen’s offices.
Looks like everyone in the world has been paying baksheesh to Michael Cohen.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/09/south-korean-firm-that-paid-trump-lawyer-cohen-poised-to-win-pentagon-deal.html
Now we know why the FBI raided his offices. And why Cohen is looking at hundreds of years in prison.
Four and a half million dollars flowed through hush money/abortion factory Essential Consultants, LLC in the first year of the PornoBortion administration.
Where the money came from will perhaps be of greater interest to shareholders in publicly traded companies. Where the money was spent will tell the tale of what they were paying for and will be of greatest interest to criminal investigators.
Best one so far:
Legal counseling and accounting standards.

“President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, contacted the drug giant Novartis after the 2016 election ‘promising access’ to the new administration, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller later requested information from the company about the offer, a senior official inside Novartis told NBC News on Wednesday. ‘He [Cohen] contacted us after the new administration was in place,’ the official said. ‘He was promising access to the new administration.'”

Boom.
Dumbfuck was saying something about “having a good day”?
Btw, on Doctor Dumbfuck’s “good day,” four GOP congressmen ran in primaries, and all four lost.
@108 We already have some idea of where the money was spent.
When all of this shakes out, it will be clear that Trump’s closest associates set up a slush fund, funded by favor-seeking corporations, to buy silence, and maybe pay off journalists or burglars or whatnot, very similar to what Nixon’s closest associates did. How did this end for Nixon and his closest associates again?

Speculation is the spare $26 million for “event planning” to a “longtime friend of the First Lady” was set up to help buy Melania’s silence. Winsont Wolkoff, as one of her closest friends, was used as a legal cutout to receive and hold the payment until after the divorce in 2021. If Angry Man-Baby is barebacking porn stars throughout the campaign and into the new administration before jetting them off to abortion resorts, we can be assured of a couple of things: Melania knows plenty and Roypublican voters are simply the dumbest fucking people on earth.

“Over her 33 year career as a CIA operations officer, she has worked in some of the most dangerous corners of our world and I have the utmost respect for the sacrifices she has made for our country. She has earned the trust of her colleagues in the intelligence community and her intellect, steady temperament, vast knowledge of threats we face, and dedication to our country are undeniable. These attributes make her supremely qualified to serve as our next CIA Director.”

CNN poll: Democrats’ 2018 advantage is nearly gone
About six months out from Election Day, 47% of registered voters say they back the Democratic candidate in their district, 44% back the Republican. Voters also are divided almost evenly over whether the country would be better off with the Democrats in control of Congress (31%) or with the GOP in charge (30%). A sizable 34% — including nearly half of independent voters (48%) — say it doesn’t matter which party controls Congress.
