So. Now we’ve seen the Stormy Daniels interview, does it add much? I think we all knew the outlines. I guess it’s good to hear it from her. I don’t care about an affair. And consensual sex is less gross than the sexual assault he has bragged about.
Campaign finance violations? Sure, probably. So blackmail possibilities from his careless behavior? Maybe. Hypocrisy of his religious supporters? Doy, but we already knew that.
More than just campaign finance violations here.
The requirements under federal law to document, record, preserve, and disclose these financial transactions and their funding sources implicate as many as a half dozen different agencies of the federal government and dozens of sections of the U.S.C. The multiple complex schemes undertaken by somebody to conceal and/or obscure the true nature of the transactions and their origins from multiple agencies in violation of multiple laws is a textbook example of conspiracy to defraud. A serious felony criminal violation involving real jail time.
With that crim j shit about l’afaire Stormy out of the way I do want to add this:
Because what well adjusted Roypublican father doesn’t think about his eldest daughter every time he gets wood?
#youbuiltthat
So we go from blue-dress evidence persisting from a consensual sexual relationship to transactional evidence persisting from a consensual sexual relationship.
Y’all libbies might have something here if not for the antics of the husband of twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Clinton perjured himself in a dep. That’s the extent of it. He was caught. And punished by a judicial decree.
In the case of the Roypublican President somebody constructed a baroque scheme to defraud the United States Government.
Regardless of the underlying marital infidelities, the relationships between the sexual partners, their identities, or whatever cultural moral transgressions they describe, the criminal acts attendant to the infidelities are categorically different. Formulating and carrying out a conspiracy to defraud is a very serious felony.
“Y’all libbies”
That is so lame. I thought you should know.
@5 pretty lame to be wasting time with those lame comments like @3, when you own the fancy hotrod car and the speed boat, not to mention a horse to fuck.
@3 Wherein Doctor Dumbfuck asserts Monica cancels Stormy because one minus one equals zero. This is called dumbfuck math.
@5 Everything else about Roypublican sycophants is fake, so he may as well write in a fake Confederate accent, too. At least it livens up his comments with a touch of fake literary flair.
With the White House and the PornHub Party senior leadership in turmoil over staffing purges, criminal investigations, adultery cover ups, and mindless saber rattling there can be a tendency to lose track of the party rank and file, and what they are up to.
Aside from widespread vicious, marginalizing, and at times threatening attacks on polite, civically engaged teenagers speaking out against gun violence, the rank and file are keenly focused on shutting down the Girl Scouts, outlawing all abortions in Ohio (House Bill 565), and combing through their FB and Twitter follows to id the pimply Moldovan hackers (Pro tip: maybe start with the accounts that have a long string of random computer generated digits in their screen name).
Well, Carl, Stormy wasn’t raped — she says so herself — but it’s still about rape culture. To wit:
“Clifford may not be a victim. She was not raped or assaulted by Donald Trump. But her story is a story about rape culture. It is a story about the ways women are pressured into sex that is still ― technically, legally ― consensual.”
By way of clarification,
“‘A lotta people are using you for a lotta different agendas,’ Cooper said. ‘They’re trying to,’ she replied. ‘Like, oh, you know, Stormy Daniels comes out #MeToo. This is not a ‘Me Too.’ I was not a victim. I’ve never said I was a victim. I think trying to use me to ― to further someone else’s agenda, does horrible damage to people who are true victims.’ Most victims and survivors do not need columnists and concerned men to tell us that our experiences don’t count: we’ve absorbed enough of rape culture to fear that ourselves.”
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/opinion-enlow-stormy-daniels-trump_us_5ab90595e4b054d118e520c8
Thus, even though she wasn’t raped, this still is about exploiting women. Roger Rabbit senses that most people are picking up on that, and Trump’s clumsy attempt to buy an exploited woman’s silence is only the second most important story here. Your inner voice should tell you this story is, first and foremost, about a powerful man taking what he wants and the woman giving in because she feels she has to.

Well, so long as they never connect the two we can probably expect the cycle of conservative “outsider triumph” followed by collapse to continue.
Hard to build a bench when you don’t bother to build a bench.
Just look at how many members of Congress, cabinet secs, governors, state AGs, mayors, and local pols started out as U.S. Attorneys, as just one example. One thing Obama did right and well for eight years. Turnover in the Obama White House had as much to do with creating opportunity within the administration as it had to do with exploiting it outside. Not only does the current White House not care much about building the team, most of their senior-most castaways have left diminished and/or disgraced. And it isn’t just Roypublican members who are fleeing Ryan’s Congress. Staffers who aren’t poised to move up immediately are checking out in droves, selling themselves before their shelf dates expire. If a new team gains the gavel next January, the new minority will not be well positioned to bargain for concessions, and the cycle will continue until the next fake “populist” uprising.
@14 Republicans are the Tonya Harding of politics: Kneecap your opponent, sue to get into the Olympics, then go to the Olympics with no shoelaces in your skates.

If he can’t, a dunce could figure out who Trump will kick to the curb.
13,
First outburst gets a polite but firm objection. The second outburst ends the proceeding. In the real world, experts don’t get to bill for time and expenses relating to depositions they sabotage. If they did, it might create some rather challenging conflicts of interest.
Moral of the story: don’t live in Texas.

Swing and a miss. In your statement you were directly referencing HRC’s husband who, when properly identified, is a former two-term POTUS.

Sure, in Chappaquiddick, I would expect the same sort of reference at some point, for example, “Teddy Kennedy aspired to be like his brother, the 35th POTUS…”
Don’t know what your fascination is with Teddy. Shall we say that event is as they say, “water under the bridge”?

Next could be Presidential election ad with Stormy and the first dick picks, which means in a full disclosure moment all running for office will do a dick or alternative pic. The voters are going to get an eyeful. Nothing substantive will get done as we will all be focused on Stormy got nailed by Trump. You really care, I don’t give a fig about who is in Trumps bedroom. Who he does or maybe doing if they are consenting adults, The fact the does not drink surprises me, and it would surprise me if he has been 100% faithful to his wives, and we don’t know if they have a sort European marriage of the rich, or the open marriage. Unless I’m invited to participate by Melania I have no reason to care, and generally it’s none of my business unless invited into the Casbah.

Chappaquiddick? Yes a film about a now almost 40 year old incident is really going to sway voters against a guy dead for about a decade now.
But seriously, what’s the audience for the film? MADD members pissed that DUI laws were extremely lenient or in some states non existent until the 70s? People who just really hate Ted? People old enough to know the story already? Teens looking for some prestige drama?
And it’s being released in April, early enough to be forgotten by Oscar time, when films studios don’t have a lot of confidence in try to cobble an audience before summer popcorn season.
I’d bet Rampage, a truly awful seeming film based on a video games gets a better Per Screen on the same weekend.

Clearly many of you don’t care to wrestle with the question Rosanne Barr asked. the one where she asked Do you really want Mike Pence in the White House. And we are getting closer to the point where Mr Pence could serve 10 years as President. You all must want that a lot on here. Or some of you do. Maybe you should answer Rosanne’s question as she is showing she is a pretty intelligent human being asking an important question.
@10 No exploitation of women involved when a attractive young woman is put on the front counter of an auto parts store, or a local paint store. Of course by RR’s statement one must assume exploitation is occurring if that is the case. Whether or not one looks under her fingernails for oil and grease. The assumption is she is cute and female and therefore it does not matter if she is capable and knows her stuff. Knows the difference between a Super 8 and a Straight 8. Which could be more than RR knows about cars. He just drives them he does not necessarily know how they run.

Guess if the guy is doing it for stock he owns he’s an ok guy. GE is still dealing with the Jack Welch years. the good and the bad have come back to haunt Back in the day when the stock was a dollar though the company did not need to own it’s own news channel. (NBC is a Jack Welch addition to GE.)
@59 I did not give you permission to fuck with my comment mother fucker. Here is the comment Roseanne Barr.
http://www.foxnews.com/enterta.....trump.html
I think you want Pence in the White House and you are a Pence supporter, and you will fucking do anything for the man. You shyster.
@52 When you compare Clinton and Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick was enough to sink Kennedy and he did sink Carter and was the strongest Democratic candidate, Stronger then Clinton and he was not running as if he had been crowned. It is the thing that made the White House a bridge to far for Kennedy, and Bill very may will be the reason why Hilliary did not make it to the White House. It was a bigger boat anchor than the Russian bots.
@59 Emma is getting 100.000 new voters. And when the teens finally hit the 2nd Amendment wall that very well end up getting another 100,000 to 200,000 18 year olds as new voters. While the issue is going to have some impact on the congressional elections, and may actually help a few new Republican politicians, it’s going to be hard to keep that momentum up for two and a half years on the issue. Also with a President willing to tell Jeff Sessions to ban bump stocks, and he does so , even so that means a court fight where the government could loose, Simply bump stocks are not a firearm and cannot fall under the bureau. Especially when you can do what the bumpstock does with your hand.
Still you could tax bumpstocks…….

So Catholics and Catholic Democratic politicians should go elsewhere.

Some Republicans know they should be recruiting Hispanics who as a group are pretty conservative, and have conservative values. Maybe the DCCC knows the Dems need a strong Republican party, and are helping out Republican recruiting efforts. Must be a few KKK members still in the DCCC.

There is a fondness for Jack at GE in some leadership circles, I don’t think that is a big surprise. Is Jack’s complete leadership style needed for GE today? Probably not as things in the world are different today than they were when Jack took over. For one thing Jack would never tolerate the attitude of millennials.
Also, today GE is about data analytics, they want to be the Apple/Microsoft/Google of the industrial Internet. Problem is, they are behind the curve on some of that. Do some research on GE’s Predix platform https://www.ge.com/digital/predix-platform-foundation-digital-industrial-applications

How to beat Mike Pence…
“My opponent is quite proud of his Christian faith. He has said many times it is the core of his being. So when Donald Trump bragged about grabbing and groping women without regard to women’s feelings, Mike Pence’s Christian faith told him to remain silent. When it became clear that his President had multiple extramarital affairs, did Mike Pence tell him to repent and ask forgiveness from Christ? No, he remained silent. And this was not a secret. Donald Trump was PROUD of his infidelities on the campaign trail and Mike Pence was happy to remain silent. For Mike Pence, being Vice President was more important than his faith. So what is mike Pence’s core belief. It obviously isn’t faith.”
“Pence 2020. More than a Vice President, a spineless Yes Man!”

And relax. This could all come to nothing. Perhaps the setup with the AMI lawyer, the creation of the Dellaware LLC to dole out all the payments, the NDA, and all the cancelled checks and badly written contracts just weeks before the election are just a hyuuuuge coincidence.

Politifact:
uhm….Suicides are deaths.
In the US, over half of all suicides are by firearm. The next closest is hanging at under 25%.
We don’t know, because the NRA pays Congress to keep anyone from researching it, how does access to a firearm effect escalating thoughts of suicide to action? Does the notion of a quick and painless death by firearm in survivors of attempts contribute to the decision to carry out an attempt? If survivors of a suicide attempt by firearm not had access to a gun do they think they would have tried hanging or some other incredibly statistically small alternative method of ending their lives?
We don’t know because the NRA bought enough of Congress to not let anyone research such questions.
But Suicides are still gun deaths.
Fuck the NRA.

House Democrats derail ‘Right to Try’ bill
https://iotwreport.com/house-democrats-derail-right-to-try-bill/
Snip–
CFP: President Trump has been pushing for “Right to Try” legislation almost since his campaign began. The idea is that terminally ill patients, who’ve decided they have nothing to lose, should have the right to try experimental procedures and medication that may not be ready for mass implementation. Everyone understands that there are very real risks involved with this course of action but, if you’ve exhausted all other options, you may be ready for one last desperation play.
…Except currently, FDA restrictions won’t let you.
So, the President and Mike Pence made easing those regulations a centerpiece of their White House run. Trump even reiterated his support during his first State of the Union address. Unfortunately, the House of Representatives has pounded a stake through the idea.
On March 13th, they killed a bill that would have done precisely why the President and VP wanted.
From the NYT:
In a surprising rebuff to President Trump and Republican leaders, the House derailed a bill on Tuesday that would have given patients with terminal illnesses a right to try unproven experimental treatments.
The bill was considered under special fast-track procedures that required a two-thirds majority for passage, and it fell short. When the roll was called, 259 House members supported the bill, and 140 opposed it.
You can bet “sticking it” to Trump and Pence played a role here, but there’s a bigger issue at work. The majority of the opposition came from Democrats, who said the legislation would – get this – “endanger people dying of incurable diseases.” Wait. That can’t be right, can it?

Hey y’all, the UW dental faculty are suing their university. I’m having a hard time feeling any sympathy for two reasons:
1. I was notified via email from UW Faculty Forward, which is a part of SEIU.
2. The last name of the author of the email is Hagopian.
I wonder if pepper spray is hard on dental enamel.
Nothin’ sez Emerald City like a handcuffed Seahawk.

For those of you who weren’t treated to Karl Rove doing it, this is what a perp walk looks like.
Now this is masterful trolling.
About an hour into their demonstration, protesters say that the restaurant’s co-owner and chef, Michael Hunter, “brought out an entire animal leg and started cutting it up right in the window on a table reserved for diners.”
Event organizer Marni Jill Ugar wrote later that night on Facebook that she felt Hunter had been “taunting” the group by cutting up a deer leg right in front of them.
“Once the deer was cooked Michael Hunter, owner of Antler, sat back down at the window to eat the dead deer,” she wrote.
