    The televangelist private jet, could be justified if he’d to help people. Problem is, a Dassault Falcon has limited use in that area.

    When you go with a two day old opinion piece….

    On Friday CA announced they had over 2.5 million ballots left to be counted. That means probably 6.5 million votes cast statewide — 50% higher than the 2014 primary, only 1 million less than the 2016 *presidential* primary.

    Meanwhile, comparing the last non-Presidential CA primary:
    (with late absentees typically leaning D still uncounted)

    2014: Dem 55.3% GOP 40.0%
    2018: Dem 61.3% GOP 38.6%

    The two races GOP poured millions into to get a top two R general election…..didn’t happen.

    Great night for Republicans! Congratulations to John Cox on a really big number in California. He can win. Even Fake News CNN said the Trump impact was really big, much bigger than they ever thought possible. So much for the big Blue Wave, it may be a big Red Wave. Working hard!

    @6 Dumbfucks who grasp at straws think coming up with the short straw is a win. Next week the biggest dumbfuck of all will come home from Singapore claiming he “won” by giving Little Kim everything he wants for nothing in return.

    @8

    “With this magnificent Deal I negotiated, Kim Jung Un promised ME, am I great or what folks, that if I let him keep his nuclear weapons and ease sanctions Kim Jong Un, really nice guy in person we got along great, Pinky swears to never use them against ME I mean the United States. I know from KimChee and what we ate was the best. In exchange for letting Kim Jong Un keep his nuclear technology and research peaceful nuclear power South Korea will send ME a brand new fleet of Presidential Limousines outfitted with the most luxurious, Corinthian leather right, BlueTeeth, VGA inputs, made by KIA. I promise you folks this is the best deal for America any President has ever made with a foreign leader. Thank ME.

    Dumbfuck now seems to be angling to paint any Democratic gains in the House and Senate as Total Failure measured against his own imaginary standard.

    These things we know: Ryan will no longer be House Majority Leader and some kind of leadership battle will take place. We may not know in which party that leadership battle will occur. But it will weaken that party when it does. Dems have a lot of ground to make up. And we knew that going in. So falling short by a few seats is no loss. It would still be a predictably huge victory. How? The leadership battle for control of the House agenda and the lead up to 2020. If Trump’s House Death Cult gain control that will drive a few Republican moderates into the wilderness.

    Probably the best Trailerbillies can hope for at this point is to retain the majority by three or four seats and somehow convince Mark Meadows to deal on immigration. They’d have to be delighted to retain it by one or two. That’s certainly what Dumbfuck is pining for. But a one or two seat majority, even with an immigration deal would be mostly symbolic. It would not be enough to win through on any kind of comprehensive agenda of child kidnapping, or coal rolling. It would merely serve to protect President Stupid and his entourage of kleptocrats. It would not deliver any legislative mandate beyond symbolism.

    But it’s far from clear that the CA primary turnout is dispositive. The jungle primary has consequences. In a highly partisan atmosphere it forces moderation. Complicating that were crowded primary ballots with confusing candidate identities to choose from. That can potentially reduce turnout among strident activist factions. Going toward the general in the target districts featuring a binary choice, strident partisans may become more engaged.

    Everyone is going to try to look for the news they need to see in order to continue to build momentum and raise funds. But with the target races reduced to one Democrat and one Republican the contrasts will become more stark as the rhetoric becomes more partisan and attack ads fill the airwaves and social media. It must be remembered that throughout California in general, but in particular in the south, Republicans have relied heavily on a perceived identity of moderation and mature statesmanship when contrasted with “Bleeding Heart” “Hollyweird” liberals. In the age of President PornFucking Man-Baby’s dairly routine of grudge-Tweeting and shit-mouthing California in general, that identity will be sorely tested. He is not getting better. There is no pivot.

    That presents it’s own huge opportunity for GOTV in those most vulnerable districts that the Russian PedoPorn Party will not be able to answer. Dems did the thing they had to do, which was make it through the jungle to the November ballot. The campaign for control of the House began in earnest last Wednesday. If idiots want to run victory laps now, let them. Hopefully every Roypublican consultant and campaign manager will internalize this sunny analysis of a peculiar primary system and resume telling racist jokes and sharing social media memes mocking dead children and women. Democrats need all the help we can get.

    Should be a fun week.
    Manafort gets to endure a week of tic toc before heading off to jail for the rest of his life… that is if he can avoid winding up in a landfill before that.

    The legal standard for revocation of bail is probable cause to suspect that a def has committed new criminal acts while out on bail. The bill of indictment from the g.j. more than satisfies that standard. Manafort’s lawyers will have to present actual exculpatory evidence to overcome that if they want to keep their client outside. And plenty of it. That would have to come in the form of direct testimony or some kind of physical evidence overwhelmingly rebutting the indictment, though for now I can’t imagine what that would be. But they have to tread very carefully because the normal rules of evidence don’t apply, so they risk making the situation worse.

    Alternatively they would have to convince the judge that key evidence presented to the g.j. for the superseding indictment on obstruction and conspiracy should be excluded. But that ain’t so easy, again because the normal rules are not applied. They have to challenge the evidence directly in order to rebut it. Beyond that there’s not a fuckuvalot they can do.

    The p.c. standard is low, squishy, and overwhelmingly tilted in favor of the state (something unethical cops rely on every single day). One explicit purpose of the Bail Reform Act is public safety. If a judge finds probable cause to suspect that a criminal defendant out on bail awaiting trial has committed additional crimes they have a statutory duty to revoke. That’s why lawyers representing such defendants have long, boring conversations telling not to so much as take shit without first asking their permission. As is his long standing practice, Manafort ignored his lawyers. This may be the hardest lesson he will ever learn.

    In part it may be hard because it is suspected that even if President PornFuck has already decided to pardon Manafort, he is being urged by his Roypublican supporters in Congress to wait until after November for what ought to be obvious reasons. Not a lot of good ways out of this bind. Manfort being the kind of guy who breaks down in tears at the hardship of a few weeks of spa resort rehab does not strike anyone as a guy who can take months in an FDC. And making the situation potentially even worse is the irony that many FDCs are full beyond capacity right now thanks to the new fascism. Good times.

  14. 14

    @10 Yeah, Dumbfuck overlooks the fact there are three parties in the House, not two, and if the GOP and/or Tea Party lose seats their already shaky coalition will completely break down.

  15. 15

    @13 “Manafort gets to endure a week of tic toc before heading off to jail for the rest of his life… that is if he can avoid winding up in a landfill before that.”

    I dunno … does Trump pardon canaries? He pardons everyone else. Maybe he wants to empty federal prisons so he doesn’t have to go through security to attend meetings with his business associates.

  16. 16

    15,
    Yeah, I allowed myself to forget for a moment that the conspiracy goes all the way to the top. Manafort will get out sooner or later. But it looks like the chances for sooner just winked out.

    I can’t honestly say I’d mind it if it was sooner though. A preemptive pardon from the Russian Puppet would make a huge difference come fall. Better yet would be a total freak out resulting in firing Mueller. Right now that might be the best possible scenario.

    Kinda sad that it takes a constitutional crisis to get younger voters involved.

  17. 17

    “Justify” just became horse racing’s 13th Triple Crown winner, and Mike Smith (age 52) became the oldest jockey to win the Triple Crown. Trump may deport him to New Mexico anyway.

  20. 20

    @19 That’s almost as stupid as the stuff Trump says every day. At least CNN called bullshit on it. You’ll never hear Fox do that with Trump.

    Uh-oh! The loon is really bringing the hate tonight! Still, its nice to see that he hasn’t been lynched yet. That’d have been so…SAD!

    @ 18

    Trump is just a dick and doesn’t understand diplomacy…

    Hillary Clinton is just a cunt and abused diplomacy to her personal advantage.

  26. 26

    “Consumer Confidence is at a 18-year high!”

    Yeah, who was in the White House in 2000?

    Those Bush years came and went didn’t they? Just like that bridge accident movie.

  27. 27

    @25 Wherein Doctor Dumbfuck implies that, as between Trump and Hillary, Trump is the better alternative. In fact, he’s been implying that all along. It’s what you’d expect from a complete and total dumbfuck.

  28. 28

    The world watched Putin get a presidential blow job. Our alliances are in tatters. Canada is the new Evil Empire. Next up, the orange moron parties with Kim Jong Un.

    Amazing what Hillary being a cunt has wrought.

  29. 29

    @28 Doctor Dumbfuck believes an incompetent administration run by a gangster affiliated with the Russian mob is preferable to one run by a politically experienced woman who, despite decades of investigations and millions of wasted taxpayer dollars, hasn’t even been nailed with a parking ticket. Of course, that level of stupidity is exactly what you expect from world-class dumbfucks, and it’s why dumbfucks should never, ever be put in charge of anything.

  30. 30

    It is time to impeach this man from office, and then prosecute him to the fullest extent of the Law. He is an active agent for the Putin/Russian mob and it is now long past time the relevant Laws were enforced.

    To see this man and all the people he’s appointed to his administration dancing at the end of a rope would be a minor consolation to the crimes this man and his crew have committed.

    Preferably on the White House lawn.

  31. 31

    @25

    Right on cue, a Pavlovian response. Hey Dumbfuck, as you point out, HRC isn’t the POTUS, how is she relevant to the diplomacy of today?

    “and abused diplomacy to her personal advantage.” And so has Trump, what’s your point?

  33. 33

    @31 He doesn’t have a point. Never does. He bangs on garbage can lids because he likes noise.

  34. 34

    @30 Trump is an experiment. The people who voted for him want to see if his leadership style, if you want to call it that, can produce better outcomes than obtained by his predecessors. While the jury is still out, in a manner of speaking, his scorecard so far isn’t encouraging. Not only do our enemies still hate us, but now our allies hate us, too. Most Americans still can’t pay for a $400 car repair. Their drinking water isn’t safer and the air they breathe isn’t cleaner. They don’t have cheaper health insurance or lower medical bills. The only actual accomplishment he can point to is that while uppity black NFL players still haven’t learned their place, at least they’re not kneeling anymore.

  36. 36

    @35

    Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, and Tom Price are all you need to point to about fraud, waste, and abuse. Oh hell, all of Trump’s cabinet and close advisors are basically a waste: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/16/us/politics/all-the-major-firings-and-resignations-in-trump-administration.html

    Republican’s have pretty much lost any credibility they had as being “fiscally responsible”. They spend, lie, cheat, like a bunch of drunken sailors.

    I know Dr. Dumbfuck will just counter with some screed about Clinton. The real proof is how many mainstream Republicans are retiring and/or deciding not to run in the Trump era because they know they can’t defend his record.

    Really senile idiot wabbit? Where are the NY Times leaks from Mueller’s office regarding “[the] gangster affiliated with the Russian mob”? Hmmm…?

    Mueller’s office has leaked all sorts of stuff to the Times and prosecutors worry how he will bring charges with all the leaks. Puddy gave this to you over a week ago butt senility continues to reign in the single pea brain cell of the senile idiot wabbit!

    @50 I just read an old CNN Money article about the tacky ways companies lay off/fire employees, and it occurs to me that getting treated like scum by employers is a very common experience.

    The solution, of course, is to not work. It’s a myth that you get ahead by working hard. This is what corporate propagandists want you to believe. But do you see the bosses working hard? They’re playing golf. Do you see the rich working hard? They’re sunning themselves on their yachts. It’s pretty obvious the people with the goods aren’t working.

    The truth is, workers are disrespected and mistreated. If you have to work for a living, you’re treated like an insect. Wages are taxed more heavily than any other type of income. I wised up and became a capitalist. You should, too.

  52. 52

    A random sampling of tonight’s CNBC headlines:

    “Ahead of meeting with North Korea, Trump keeps lashing out at allies Canada and Europe”

    “North American alliance at brink of a trade war as US accuses Canada of ‘stab in the back'”

    “When the US and North Korea say ‘denuclearization,’ they mean two very, very different things”

    “A failed US-North Korea summit could make armed conflict more likely”

    “Trump’s economic stimulus will fade in 2020, when Wile E. Coyote will ‘go off the cliff,’ Bernanke says”

    @55 Twitter is merely a communications platform. Einsteins can post “tweets”. So can liars like Trump and morons like his gullible followers. It takes someone smarter than you to distinguish between truth and falsehood. If you think I’m implying you’re a moron, you’re right. Rabbits don’t hatch from eggs, dummy.
