    Election day, huh. Dumbfuck will be clutching his balls with one hand, and posting with the other, at 7 am tomorrow morning. Well, here’s a couple of Election Day items for him to chew on:

    Item One: Add witness tampering to Mueller’s charges against Manafort:

    “One potential witness told the government, according to the filing, that ‘he understood Manafort’s outreach to be an effort to ‘suborn perjury” — that is, an attempt to persuade that witness to commit perjury.”

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/04/russian-investigation-robert-mueller-on-witness-tampering.html

    Item Two: Most of the evidence seized from Michael Cohen isn’t subject to attorney-client privilege.

    Happy midterms!

    @ 1

    The charges against Manafort were for activities he conducted in 2012 and 2014. And involved representatives of Ukraine.

    Blue dress territory, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    1,
    Two things I’ll be watching for:
    Democratic vote totals relating to reg drives and turnout;
    CA Democratic jungle results relating to party cohesion.

    There are almost enough vulnerable PornAbortion members in CA to provide the majority. A big shift in the west could make the difference. Mids come down to turnout. Turnout pivots on energy and local organizing. The primaries serve as a kind of A/B test ahead of the fall general. Amplify the thinga that are working. Toss the things that are not.

    @2 Move along folks, nothing to see here, merely Drumpf’s ex-campaign manager asking witnesses to lie about his unreported lobbying on behalf of a former territory of the USSR now engaged in armed conflict with Russia. No train wreck here; that’s only an optical illusion.

    The Koch brothers are now the Koch brother. David is retiring from business and politics because of declining health. He’s had prostate trouble for 20 years. Sounds like he’s on his last legs. Must be one of Doctor Quack’s patients. I’m cured.

    Speaking of Orange Event Horizon we have before us a very good opportunity to observe the phenomenon in action.

    Over the weekend the Roypublican President declared himself empowered to pardon himself at any time for any reason for any crime.
    By Monday PornHub Party lawmakers began to issue public reactions, and the vast majority, while exercising enormous caution in their responses, eventually confirmed that they either disagreed or at least had grave misgivings.

    At some future point it may indeed become necessary for their President to pardon himself. Moreover, and it appears increasingly likely, he may just do it anyway as a way to unilaterally remove himself from these corruption investigations, which is something he has longed for since he assumed office. If/when that happens Roypublican lawmakers, and trailerbilly voters, as they have so often before, will have to accommodate themselves to their President.

    The truly fascinating part is watching the transformation happen in real time. Doctor Dumbfuck has given us a very entertaining presentation over the past eighteen months. Mitt Romney is an equally piquant example. And of course the many porn fucking liaisons, White House abortions, NetJets plunderings, debasing rage-Tweets, etc. have all at various times forced Roypublican “statesmen” to grovel before the Giant Orange Anus. However, this is not just a matter of Constitutional law, but a matter of functional limitation of the power of the office. Obviously a President that can pardon himself of any crime or even potential crime could, with a Congressional majority (or a sufficient minority) do whatever they liked. The mind actually boggles.

    But I will not be at all surprised to find them all defending the proposition within a few months. Watch it unfold and be amazed.

  11. 11

    @10 History has already taught us what happens when blindly obedient masses put their faith in a messiah and give him unrestricted power to redefine crime as opposition instead of murder.

  12. 12

    11,
    While I think it unlikely that any current sitting Justice would agree with these idiots (possibly excepting Thomas) I’m not at all sure I wouldn’t mind the outcome. Given the tyranny of demographics combined with the lopsided arrangement of the Senate, it might advantage Democrats to have access to a unitary unlimited Presidency incapable of being challenged while supported by a one-third minority in the Senate.

    I’d argue that this is essentially what the Roypublican Party is driving toward right now. We ought to be in the race at least.

    Doubtful. They’re still busy reversing the foibles of Obama, who did whatever he liked because he assumed it would be a Democrat replacing him.

    Not sure whether Trump has a pen but it’s virtually certain he has a phone.

    OLYMPIA, Wash. – Eleven health insurers filed 74 health plans for Washington state’s 2019 individual and family health insurance market, with an average proposed rate increase of 19.08 percent. There are no bare counties, although 14 counties will have only one insurer selling through Washington’s Exchange, Washington Healthplanfinder.

    The Jimmy Kimmel–Ted Cruz basketball game is really happening, and it has a tentative date

    “So this is happening — Ted man walking. We’re still working out the details, but we’re planning to do it Father’s Day weekend.” Kimmel was realistic about the challenge he faces — Cruz played varsity basketball in high school, while “I played the clarinet in high school,” he said.

    Hey, Happy Pride.

    Oregon man snaps woman’s arm, knocks fiancee out during brutal road rage attack, couple says

    A deranged driver broke a woman’s arm with his bare hands, pummeled her repeatedly and then knocked her fiancée unconscious during a road rage eruption in central Oregon, according to cops and the battered couple.

    Jay Allen Barbeau, 49, faces felony assault charges in the brutal Friday night attack that left Megan Stackhouse and Lucinda Mann wounded and reeling at a roundabout in Bend.

    http://www.oregonlive.com/paci.....rm_kn.html

    It’s not as impressive, of course, when you get to the second paragraph and learn that the fiancée is another chick.

    Although it’s far more impressive than this faked Seattle assault a couple of years ago.

    No hater to find if the injury was merely a self-inflicted face plant. Interesting how this story just disappeared, nicht war?

    You’d think there’d be more follow-up interest in the vicious assault on a transgender activist. Unless there was widespread realization that she’s a fucking liar.

    “The family of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student activist David Hogg was the victim of a ‘swatting’ incident Tuesday morning.

    “A SWAT team responded to a call just after 8:30 a.m. of a barricaded subject at Hogg’s residence. The caller said there was a person with a weapon inside of the home, Broward County Sheriff’s spokesman Joy Oglesby told CNN.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: It’s probably safe to say it wasn’t a liberal gun control supporter who did this.

    @13 “Obama … did whatever he liked”

    Actually, Obama couldn’t do much at all, because he was continually blocked by an obstructionist GOP Congress that prioritized the failure of his presidency above the good of the country. But nobody here expects you to know anything at all about either history or civics, because you’re a dumbfuck.

  21. 21

    @ 19

    It’s probably safe to say it wasn’t a liberal gun control supporter who did this.

    You’re right, you’d never see something like a black person defacing a black church and letting everyone think it was done by a racist white person, would you?

    Or, say, a local activist claiming that he was targeted and intentionally pepper-sprayed at a MLK Day event? You’d never see that.

    Naw, would never happen.

  22. 22

    @14 If that’s McConnell’s campaign strategy, all I can say is, he’s scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    I mean, it’s not like GOP senators can run on their record. When handcuffing your opponent to the bedstead is all you’ve got left, you’re not giving people much reason to vote for you.

    Not to make much of an innocent comment made for comedic purposes but if you click on the Kimmel video link @ 17 you’ll be treated to Kimmel referring to Ted Cruz as ‘greasy’.

    @16 Oregon Revised Statutes 181A.820:

    “(1) No law enforcement agency of the State of Oregon or of any political subdivision of the state shall use agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons whose only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.

    “(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a law enforcement agency may exchange information with the United States Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection in order to:

    “(a) Verify the immigration status of a person if the person is arrested for any criminal offense; or

    “(b) Request criminal investigation information with reference to persons named in records of the United States Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services or the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.

    “(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a law enforcement agency may arrest any person who:

    “(a) Is charged by the United States with a criminal violation of federal immigration laws under Title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act or 18 U.S.C. 1015, 1422 to 1429 or 1505; and

    “(b) Is subject to arrest for the crime pursuant to a warrant of arrest issued by a federal magistrate.

    “(4) For purposes of subsection (1) of this section, the Bureau of Labor and Industries is not a law enforcement agency.

    “(5) As used in this section, ‘warrant of arrest’ has the meaning given that term in ORS 131.005 (General definitions). [Formerly 181.850]”

    Roger Rabbit Comment: It’s probably asking too much to expect cops to know what the law actually says, isn’t it? But certainly no one here expects YOU to know what it says, or how to interpret it. So I’ll help you. This statute didn’t prevent sheriff’s deputies from arresting this guy or assisting in his arrest. If that’s how they interpreted this law, that’s a training issue, not a legal issue. Btw, if two ICE agents can’t subdue 1 Guatemalan and need the help of 3 sheriff’s deputies to get handcuffs on this guy, that’s either a training issue or a staffing issue, or both. The main lesson from this incident seems to be that ICE teams should consist of 5 agents instead of 2 agents, given their skill level.

    When handcuffing your opponent to the bedstead is all you’ve got left, you’re not giving people much reason to vote for you.

    You might have something there, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. After all, Hillary enjoyed a 2:1 funding advantage but suffered from the same dearth of valid reasons for voters to support her. Look how that turned out.

    He should have been asked instead if the Clintons are helpful to the GOP.

    NPR: Lastly, your Democratic colleagues Heidi Heitkamp and Claire McCaskill have been openly critical of Hillary Clinton — comments that she has made about people who voted for Donald Trump. Now former President Bill Clinton has made comments to the press this week about his own impeachment. Are Bill and Hillary Clinton still helpful as public faces of the Democratic Party?

    Schumer: You know, I haven’t heard Bill Clinton’s comments, I just got here — but the bottom line is Democrats have to put forward a positive, strong economic program. We have to oppose Donald Trump when he’s wrong, but we also have sit and do positive things. So hypotheticals, who’s good who’s bad — we have to focus on the things that average, working-class, middle-class Americans need.

    @26 “She’s not Trump” was good enough for me. Look, I wasn’t thrilled with the choices in 2016. But even though the 2016 election was a choice of lesser evils, the choice was clear, nevertheless. Despite that, you went with the wrong choice, but that’s to be expected, because you’re a dumbfuck.

    Although the Dow is down .05%, and the S&P 500 is up only .06%, GE is up 0.66% this morning. It doesn’t mean a damn thing, just like it didn’t mean a damn thing yesterday, when GE was down 2.77%. The entire market is range bound. You can buy or sell GE today for the exact same price you could’ve bought or sold it for two months ago. These single-day fluctuations are meaningless. Their only function is to give Doctor Dumbfuck another topic on which to post vacuous and pointless comments on days when he has nothing informative to say, which is every day he insinuates the Clintons still matter. The truth is, Dumbfuck, nobody around here except you gives a shit about either GE or the Clintons.

    @21 You may not be aware of this, Bob, but some years ago a malicious prankster reported Goldy to the police as a child molester, and another malicious prankster dumped a load of manure in his driveway. Goldy uses his real name, so he’s easy to find, and that carries risks.

    By and large, it’s rightwingers who do this shit. It’s also rightwingers who talk about “civil war” and “executing liberals.” Most of the domestic terrorism in the U.S. is committed by rightwing extremists. We know from grim experience that not all rightwing partisans stop at words and insults; a small but not insignificant number contemplate, and are capable of carrying out, physical violence.

    That’s why we post anonymously on this blog. And for that reason, anyone who reveals, or threatens to reveal, the identities or identifying information about HA posters should be permanently banned from posting in this forum. It’s a safety issue.

    I did see it. So did you. Hagopian was sprayed and it was intentional. In fact, it was a damned good shot. But because you’re a racist and a dumbfuck, you’ve lied about it ever since and you’ll no doubt be lying about Hagopian for years to come. No different than Roger and GE. The same dumbfuck lies told again and again, countless times. Not just boring, but fucking strange.

    In an earlier thread the idiot senile wabbit farted…

    Giuliani’s pearl of wisdom today is that Trump can pardon himself and will be impeached if he does.

    You see ladies (that includes the creepy clueless cretin) and gentlemen (term used loosely), if your memories were engaged one would remember all these comments: Google “can hillary pardon herself if she gets elected” – and enjoy the read!

    For example: https://lawandcrime.com/opinion/if-hillary-is-indicted-president-clinton-could-pardon-herself-and-congress-might-be-helpless/

    This is why the senile idiot wabbit is not only an idiot, butt its very senile. The mind is a terrible thing on a libtard! It’s all right there if you are NOT an idiot!

    I get your citation and only one other, equally speculative, from the ABA.
    Maybe it’s because I don’t have your search engine history. Seems strange to me that a self-proclaimed “expert” would not grasp that. You’ll probably also be surprised to learn then that when I Google “kids in a sandbox” I get back results for DIY projects from Lowes and Home Depot.

    For example – do you think Bob really cares at this point if the Hump actually shot someone? I don’t think so. Bob would then talk about Ted Kennedy, Chappaquiddick, Jimmy Hoffa, etc.

    I’m at a point where if the Hump actually shot someone that I think he would get away with it.

    @21 good point.

    Or a priest claiming to be spit on by a Gay man.

    Or a Jewish kid in the Hartford, CT area who was burning down synagogues and the community was blaming it on antisemitism (happened approx. 1980-1985 if you need to google it and want to find it – West Hartford, CT).

    Do you think that this kind of behavior is limited to liberals or done to strictly target conservative principals or push a liberal agenda.

    @42 “It is Friday, January 20, 2017 and Hillary Clinton has just been sworn in as the 45th President of the United States after narrowly defeating Donald Trump in November. Republicans managed to hold both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A few weeks after winning the election, however, the Department of Justice handed down a multi-count indictment against Clinton over her handling of classified information and her involvement in an alleged pay for play scandal with the Clinton Foundation during her time as Secretary of State. It is a scenario that several of our commentators, and twitter followers have asked us to analyze.”

    He didn’t need to go to the trouble, and not only because she didn’t become president. Five hundred days into the Trump administration, and still no indictment, nor will there ever be one, because she committed no crime. She never had any need to pardon herself.

  51. 51

    @48 “Why do you always want to play the victim? You are not the victim…”

    Not true at all, he is a victim of his own dumbfuckery and stupidity. It enables him to continue to shill for Trump and rail against Clinton.

    Michelle Lee, the teen’s mother, told Eyewitness News her son managed to escape the gun-wielding kidnappers.

    “The reason why they got him was because they said he was black. ‘You deserve to die.’ Exactly his words,” Lee told ABC13 in May. “Saying the dad had, like, a white muscle shirt on, and you could see it, was right here big as day. ‘I hate black people.'”

    A Texas teenager allegedly slashed a 54-year-old man’s neck from ear to ear after performing oral sex on him, authorities said.

    Job Israel Davila-Rangel, 17, was arrested Saturday in a grisly attack that left his lover, Gonzalo Molina, in critical condition, news station KENS reported.

    The teen reportedly was pleasuring Molina around 2:30 a.m. at a residence when he “decided what he was doing was not right,” according to mySanAntonio.

    “[Davila-Rangel] said something came over him, and he began to stab [the victim] repeatedly,” police said in the report.

    Medicare’s hospital insurance fund will be depleted in 2026, said the trustees who oversee the benefit program in an annual report. That is three years earlier than projected last year.

    This year, like last year, Social Security’s trustees said the program’s two trust funds would be depleted in 2034.

    For the first time since 1982, Social Security has to dip into the trust fund to pay for the program this year.

    Nope, nothing amiss there at all. He’s a patriot, amirite?

  75. 75

    Well, what have we here?

    The dispute is over communications that members of the transition team had over phones and laptops between Election Day and the inauguration. After the inauguration, those phones and laptops—and the communications made over them—were handed off to the GSA for safekeeping. According to the transition team communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the GSA’s then-General Counsel Richard Beckler assured the transition team that it was merely housing the materials, and that any communications would be locked securely away from prying eyes.
    …
    But that didn’t happen. Instead, when officials from Mueller’s special counsel probe asked the GSA for the materials, officials at the GSA acceded to their request, turning over tens of thousands of emails, as well as laptops and cellphones.

    @74 McCabe, not a Trump lackey, fired for lack of candor. Sessions, a Trump lackey, not fired for lack of candor. Although in today’s strange and twisted political world, Democrats now hope Sessions will stay, because a recused lackey Attorney General is still better than an unrecused lackey Attorney General. Meanwhile, one can wonder if Sessions will take the Fifth someday after the dust has settled on the Trump regime.

    @75 Did you guys have warrants for Hillary’s emails? As I recall, you got them from the Russians, and still haven’t found any evidence of a crime in them. Trump’s associates haven’t been so lucky, but that’s what happens when you surround yourself with criminals.

    Of course, if the Trumps and Kushners didn’t have Russian criminals for friends, they wouldn’t have any friends at all, so there’s that.

    Growth of GDP during the Obama years, 2009-2016:

    United States

    2009 -2.78
    2010 2.53
    2011 1.60
    2012 2.22
    2013 1.68

    2015 2.86
    2016 1.49

    https://data.oecd.org/gdp/real-gdp-forecast.htm

    So in the second year of the Trump presidency GDP growth rate is more than double the final year of the Obama presidency, and Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit criticizes nearly 4% current GDP growth because it might not get any better.

    You’re a fucking clown, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    Although I do notice that you have stopped bloviating about how much you earn in a day. Enough smackdowns have apparently had their cumulative effect, as you have managed only to prove to us that you have significantly less to your name than you claimed.

    You’re a fucking clown.

    If Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit is truly worried about a declining GDP growth rate, perhaps he should pressure the unions not to tank it.

    Current members were told that they would not be allowed to reapply, according to a recording of the call obtained by CNNMoney. That notice was softened on a second call, when CFPB officials suggested the members could try again in a few years.

    The investment bank’s second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) tracking model for the U.S. has risen to 3.7 percent, pushed higher by input from recent jobs and manufacturing data that have blown past expectations.

    Further Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, the stupidity of not referring to data in the piece you posted – calling it ‘unavailable’ – and yet providing data for 2019, which hasn’t occurred yet, would embarrass even someone like The Fucking Moron.

    @108 I left out 2018 because I couldn’t extract that figure from the chart you linked to. Goldman may be using a different dataset, so their number @97 isn’t necessarily exactly comparable.

    If you can get a number for 2018 U.S. real GDP from your chart @100, please feel free to post it.

    The 3.7% figure is for only 1 quarter, which many economists expect to be 2018’s best quarter. Also, at this point it’s only a projection, not actual performance. Also, it follows a lousy first quarter, so if you average 1Q and 2Q 2018 together, you’re gonna get something that looks about like the projection for 2019.

  111. 111

    Dumbfuck seems to have forgotten that Trump promised his gullible supporters (i.e., dumbasses like him) 4%-5% growth, not 3%, and most economists think he’ll be lucky to get 3% for more than 1 year.

    New Hampshire, West Virginia, and Massachusetts had the highest death rates from synthetic opioids.
    Fourteen states had significant increases in death rates involving heroin, with Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Ohio having the highest rates.
    Eight states had significant increases in death rates involving prescription opioids. West Virginia, Maryland, Maine, and Utah had the highest rates.

    MA, NH, ME, MD, DC are blue
    WV, UT red, and OH reddening

    Why, Elijah McHillbilly, it’s almost as if it’s not just a red state problem! Although I am sure there are some serious hillbilly areas in Washington, DC, amirite?

    WASHINGTON — A former Senate Intelligence Committee aide was arrested on Thursday in an investigation of classified information leaks where prosecutors also secretly seized years’ worth of a New York Times reporter’s phone and email records.

    The former aide, James A. Wolfe, 57, was charged with lying repeatedly to investigators about his contacts with three reporters. According to the authorities, Mr. Wolfe made false statements to the F.B.I. about providing two of them with sensitive information related to the committee’s work. He denied to investigators that he ever gave classified material to journalists.

    Mr. Wolfe, the Intelligence Committee’s director of security, was slated to appear before a federal judge on Friday in Washington.

    Amid reports that Trump is considering a pardon for his ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort, special counsel Robert Mueller hit Manafort with new charges today for witness tampering and asked a judge to revoke his bail.

    Trump seems oblivious to the fact that a preemptive pardon for Manafort — who hasn’t been tried or convicted yet — would look like obstruction of justice and an attempt to cover up crimes committed by one of his close associates. Despite 19 grand jury indictments, he’s convinced himself the whole thing is a “witch hunt.” The problem is, apart from his brain-dead supporters, that’s a hard sell to the public.

    Of course, witch-hunting is exactly what Trump himself does every time he opens his mouth about immigrants, whom he paints as “rapists and murderers,” even though they have much lower crime rates than native-born American citizens.

    It’s not like the autocrats who run the University of Missouri or the City of Columbia or the Columbia police department have ever championed press freedom or any other kind of freedom.

    They like to brag their ancestors rode with Quantrill, a Confederate terrorist. Back in Vietnam War days, selling the local underground newspaper or protesting the war would get you arrested and kicked out of school.

    I met a girl who went to school there who was kicked out of the Engineering School for being a girl. In those days, you had to be male to study engineering at Mizzou, and after graduating you tried to get a job at McDonnell in St. Louis building F-4 Phantoms, which were being shot down in Vietnam at a rate of 2 planes per day. Back then, McDonnell was to St. Louis what Boeing was to Seattle.

    Thorsten Veblen described Columbia, Missouri as “the woodpecker hole in a rotten stump called Missouri.” Not much has changed there in the last 100 years. Apparently not in the last 50 years, either.

    @170 “McDonnell was to St. Louis what Boeing was to Seattle.”

    And both got “Stoneciphered”. Give ’em hell Harry! Harry, a class-act all the way around. A Jack Welch disciple. Stonecipher is the kind of guy that Dr. Dumbfuck would admire.

    G-7 gives Trump an opportunity to strut his strategic stupidity:

    “Trump’s escalation of tensions with allies was ‘beyond shortsighted,’ said Heather Conley, a former U.S. State Department official in the George W. Bush administration. ‘When we’re at war with our allies, if we need something, we don’t have them to turn to,’ said Conley, now with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. ‘I think this is the part that the White House is underappreciating.'”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: His upcoming meeting with Kim will give him an even bigger opportunity to show the whole world how stupid and amateurish he is.
