So, obvi, all private server email scandals aren’t the same. Hillary Clinton deleting emails after her lawyer says it’s fine isn’t nearly as bad as the Republican Party losing State Department emails on their server. But if you’re going to say what about email servers, at the very least, don’t do it when you get in power. Honestly get your shit together.

    Dumbfuck, you mean I should have read these parts?

    Al-Rumaihi on Tuesday issued a statement agreeing that he was at Trump Tower and a source with knowledge of the daysaid that Cohen had ‘popped in’ briefly to a meeting. Photographs show that he was part of a group greeted by Cohen, who went up in an elevator with them.

    …
    The Kuwaiti source told DailyMail.com that following DailyMail.com’s disclosure of the court case, Al-Rumaihi called him and boasted that Cohen had asked him for money in exchange for influence in the Trump administration.

    …
    A representative for Al-Rumaihi’s company Sports Trinity said they have ‘no comment’ on the alleged bribe offer.

    The gathering has come under intense scrutiny since Sunday night, when a video emerged of Cohen, Flynn and Al-Rumaihi together at Trump Tower.

    I find it very funny how some of the Hump supporters here at work in liberal NYC no longer drop the Hump’s name. They’ve been pretty silent for the last 4-6 months. And it’s not like any liberals ever fought with them and they are avoiding a fight or blowback. When they use to bring up his name it was pretty much ignored….but now, no more Hump name dropping.

    Repukes better hope the economy starts to pick up.

    Like I said earlier, Doctor Dumbfuck should cut to the chase and start using the N-word in these threads. At this point, it’s not like we’ll be shocked by it or anything.

    “President Donald Trump’s public financial disclosure form was released Wednesday, and it says Trump ‘fully reimbursed’ his long-time lawyer Michael Cohen for an unspecified amount and purpose in 2017. Cohen is known to have paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 on the eve of the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump. The disclosure does not mention the reason Trump paid Cohen. But it says that Cohen incurred expenses in 2016 and that he sought reimbursement for those expenses, ‘and Mr. Trump fully reimbursed Mr. Cohen in 2017.’ The ‘category of value’ of the reimbursement Trump paid Cohen according to the disclosure is not a firm amount, but a range: $100,001 to $250,000.”

    “EPA chief Scott Pruitt tells a Senate hearing he could not recall ever asking his security detail to flash lights and blare sirens when he travels by car. Seconds later, Sen. Tom Udall submitted an email from the former head of Pruitt’s security detail saying the administrator ‘encourages the use’ of lights and sirens.”

    It seems like this Administration spent a lot of energy (and money) to cover his ass as well as dig up dirt on Hillary.

    You know the conservative approach to things. Instead of winning for the good of this Country. Sure, every candidate works toward personal gain, but some at least have a bit of desire to work for the people. I don’t think the Hump every had that thought in mind.

    Nikki Haley, Trump’s US ambassador to the UN, speaking on behalf of all Americans:

    “Moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem was the right thing to do.”

    “Israel acted with restraint.”

    “Who among us would accept this type of activity on our border?”

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nikki-haley-defends-israel-walks-out-of-un-meeting/

    However, other countries have criticized Israel’s response to Monday’s demonstrations as “disproportional.” At least 60 Palestinians were killed, and over 2,000 injured. What were the Israeli casualties? As far as I can determine from media reports, not a single Israeli was killed or injured, which to any reasonable person would call into question the necessity of the force used against the demonstrators.

    So how long before another “asset” is in the hospital with polonium poisoning?

    The point of Nunes’s inquiry isn’t to actually make accusations vanish. The point is to force the DOJ to “refuse” to hand over this highly classified information, which he is not privy to in any case, the point is to provide some excuse to allow the House to hold DOJ officials in contempt. This would allow Trump to start firing people at DOJ with “justification” no matter how tenuous or lame the reasons may be.

    Bear in mind that Devin Nunes was absolutely apoplectic in his claim that the that the DOJ refused to comply with his demands for specific records, and threatened contempt citations to DOJ officials if they did not release them. When the DOJ invited him to personally review the records in question, Nunes literally left the records in a file folder, which he then left unopened and refused to read. He then tried to make the claim that the records in question were not the ones he had requested, and again threatened the DOJ with contempt citations.

    And now everyone is faced with the dichotomy of the fact that they are both standing aghast at, and yet somehow completely unsurprised at the fact that the GOP is now officially the Stupid Lying Idiot Moron Party.

    A Miami Cheesecake Factory outlet has fired two employees for harassing a black man wearing a “MAGA” hat.

    https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Cheesecake-Factory-Dadeland-Mall-Miami-MAGA-Hat-Trump-Supporter-482824541.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: They deserve it. Working in a restaurant, your job is to serve the customers, and keep your personal opinions to yourself. I think most everyone will agree that’s the best policy. Now, does that also apply to bakeries or county clerks when gay customers walk in?

  32. 32

    The baker’s argument is that forcing him to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple infringes on his religious beliefs. I don’t think anyone will dispute this issue involves more than beliefs; it also involves behavior, and it’s the baker’s behavior rather than his beliefs that hurts the gay couple. Now suppose the baker also believes gays should be thrown off rooftops; should this behavior protected by the First Amendment, too? And if not, where should SCOTUS draw a line with respect to behavior that hurts others?

    How a minority party took over America:

    “‘Mr. Bannon sees cultural warfare as the means to create enduring change in American politics. It was for this reason Mr. Bannon engaged SCL (Cambridge Analytica’s parent company), a foreign military contractor, to build an arsenal of informational weapons he could deploy on the American population,’ Wylie claimed, referring to Trump’s former top political adviser Steve Bannon. Wylie did not provide specific evidence of voter suppression campaigns taking place in the US. But when asked by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, if one of Bannon’s ‘goals was to suppress voting or discourage certain individuals in the US from voting,’ Wylie replied, ‘That was my understanding, yes’ … African-Americans were particular targets of Cambridge Analytica’s ‘voter disengagement tactics ….'”

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/16/politics/cambridge-analytica-congress-wylie/index.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: There’s no way Trump didn’t know about or participate in this. You can’t do this without the party’s, campaign’s, and candidate’s knowledge and approval. The restraining order should be reinstated and made permanent, and it’s now obvious the SCOTUS conservative majority was wrong about the Voting Rights Act.

    #36. Republicans don’t care. He’s their tribe and they don’t care. 40 year of unrelenting propaganda about feminazis and dead voters and liberalism being a mental disease and the invading hordes of Others. They are tired of being disrespected. They are tired of losing privilege. They are tired being forced to treat minorities and women and gays as equals. They are tired of having educated “elites” and liberals and immigrants being more successful than them as they slip further and further behind. They are tired of the educated mocking their faith and pointing out the illegal elements. They are sick and tired of their tax dollars going to anyone who isn’t them.
    I predict NOTHING that trump did or does will change republican support.

    @12 not sure if he realizes it but here in NYC a lot of people speak Spanish as they have been doing for decades. In fact, you can’t walk down the street without hearing just about every language in the World. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t hear people talking Italian, French, Russian, German, etc., etc., etc. Matter of fact, my boss (who should be fire, but that’s another story) speaks Spanish on the phone to family and other Spanish speaking co-workers….but the guy isn’t on welfare, he makes $180,000.

    I wonder how many times a day he calls ICCCCCE! The guy was acting like he just found out Cohen named him as an accomplice.

    Michael Avenatti, porn star Stormy Daniels’ attorney, is being investigated by the California State Bar, a new report reveals.

    Seattle attorney David Nold filed a complaint against Avenatti on March 26, as The Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported. Nold accused Avenatti of defrauding the state and federal government as the owner of a Seattle coffee chain.

    “In essence, he bought a company out of bankruptcy and then used it for a `pump and dump’ scheme to deprive federal and state taxing authorities of millions of dollars,” Nold said in the complaint. (RELATED: With Avenatti In The Spotlight, His Own Questionable Past Emerges)

Republicans tried to make it a felony to photograph farm animals being tortured, but that one didn’t survive the First Amendment.

    This time last year the assholes at Evergreen State College decided they had to look even more stupid than the assholes at the University of Missouri.

    The Evergreen State College will look to cut more than 10 percent from its operating budget for 2018-19 and raise student fees because of declining enrollment.

    In a memo to the college’s board of trustees, Evergreen President George Bridges wrote that cuts totaling $5.9 million are needed because of lower-than-expected tuition revenue. This will require “some” layoffs and eliminating “many positions that are currently vacant,” according to Bridges.

    http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/1.....index.html

    “Nearly 51 million households don’t earn enough to afford a monthly budget that includes housing, food, child care, health care, transportation and a cell phone, according to a study released Thursday by the United Way ALICE Project. That’s 43% of households in the United State”

    “For instance, in Seattle’s King County, the annual household survival budget for a family of four (including one infant and one preschooler) in 2016 was nearly $85,000. This would require an hourly wage of $42.46. But in Washington State, only 14% of jobs pay more than $40 an hour.

    Seattle’s City Council just passed a controversial tax on big businesses to help alleviate the city’s growing homelessness and affordable housing problems.”

    Sure, let’s make up new parameters including a need for a 10% ‘contingency’ (see item 7 on page 5 of the methodology document you failed to read before posting this shit) in case you need to upgrade that cell phone to the latest iPhone model, and publish it as if it has any credibility.

    ’cause gullible libbies without critical thinking skills will take us at face value. I mean, what are they gonna do, actually read our methodology to realize we’re full of shit?

    Gallup says things were never better in the Obama years than they are now:

    Thirty-seven percent of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the country today, up from 29% in April. Gallup has not measured a higher level of satisfaction since a 39% reading in late September 2005, although 37% were also satisfied right before the November 2016 election, and 36% were satisfied in February 2018 after the State of the Union address.

    Former GOP congressman Tom Coleman,

    “It’s Not a Liberal Fantasy to Ask if Trump Committed Treason”

    “Trump’s comments and actions during this time are damning. He continually called for release of Russian cyber hacked documents that were intended to influence the outcome of the election. Based upon the preponderance of these known facts, it would be stunningly feasible to answer “yes” to the following: Did Trump assist Russia in its conduct of cyber war against the United States? Did the cumulative effect of the Trump campaign and Trump’s personal actions result in aiding and abetting a hostile nation? Did Trump’s actions rise to the level of giving aid and comfort to an enemy?

    These are extremely important issues and I suspect both Congress and the Special Counsel’s office will eventually be alarmed by the answers they find.”

    Perhaps I was wrong and not all Republicans are traitors groveling before Putin. Just most of them.

    @92 Congratulations. You’re the only Republican in the country who knows the difference between “they’re” and “their” and “there.” Most of them can’t even spell “to” or “too.”

    Following up @ 97 @ 96, it takes a certain type of moron to apply United Way data covering the year 2016,

    TheProject compares 2016 household costs versus incomes at the county-level in each state, exposing the failure of calculations based on national averages to accurately represent the extent of financial struggle in America.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/gubje4tacm71hjr/ALICE_FORUM_DC_Press_Release.pdf?dl=0

    a year in which Trump was not even in office, and yet somehow apply those figures as a measure of how Trump’s America is doing.

    You stupid, stupid fuck. What type of moron? Third-tier HA moron.

  102. 102

    @97 Congratulations on your 37% happiness rating. That’s almost exactly the same as Trump’s approval numbers. Your voters are so stupid they don’t even know when they’re badly off. They’ll figure it out when their methadone and food stamps are terminated and their grandchildren’s fathers are deported, though.

  104. 104

    @103 Compared to the bleachers, where you sit, a third-tier box seat isn’t bad at all.

  105. 105

    When you got nothin’ go after voice to text issues.

    Or beg and plead on camera for your enemy to please please meet with me. I’ll give you things. I need to look presidential. Please. I have a puppy. I’ll let you drive my limo.

    Fuck you, Kamala Harris.

    Awww. Poor boob is offended by the woman of color who asks the tough questions in keeping with her background as a prosecutor. Not a word about white males like Jeff Flake or Johnny McNotQuitetheSameAsBushonTorture who didn’t care for Haspel’s evasiveness.

    People like Kamala are the best thing for freaks like boob. She can have her seat in the US Senate as long as she wants and boob thanks the stars for the stroke material it will use for rest of its miserable life.

  109. 109

    @108 Kinda says something when the likes of Tillerson has to lecture Trump and the rest of the GOP about ethics.

    How Baby Boomers Broke America
    http://time.com/5280446/baby-b.....eve-brill/

    The result is a new, divided America.

    On one side are the protected few – the winners – who don’t need government for much and even have a stake in sabotaging the government’s responsibility to all of its citizens. For them, the new, broken America works fine, at least in the short term.

    On the other side are the unprotected many. They may be independent and hardworking, but they look to their government to preserve their way of life and maybe even improve it. The unprotected need the government to provide good public schools so that their children have a chance to advance. They need a level competitive playing field for their small businesses, a fair shake in consumer disputes and a realistic shot at justice in the courts. They need the government to provide a safety net to ensure that their families have access to good health care, that no one goes hungry when shifts in the economy or temporary setbacks take away their jobs and that they get help to rebuild after a hurricane or other disaster. They need the government to ensure a safe workplace and a living minimum wage. They need mass-transit systems that work and call centers at Social Security offices that don’t produce busy signals. They need the government to keep the political system fair and protect it from domination by those who can give politicians the most money. They need the government to provide fair labor laws and to promote an economy and a tax code that tempers the extremes of income inequality and makes economic opportunity more than an empty cliché.

    Another one of Dr. Dumbfuck’s GOP idols showing that the ocean isn’t the only place that rocks are displacing matter. Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks claims that rocks and silt are contributing to the sea level rise: https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/politics/mo-brooks-nasa-climate-change/index.html Using that logic, I’m sure the next thing Brooks will suggest to combat rising sea levels is to remove all the ships from the ocean ’cause you know, those pesky ships displace a certain amount of volume of water.

    Brooks must admire EPA Secretary Pruitt, also a charter member of the science ignorati.

    We as a species are doomed if guys like Pruitt and Brooks can be members of leadership that guide our science and technology.

    #107. I agreed. He was normal, for him, until he was triggered by the strong black women that sent him frothing to the fainting couch to spew vitriol.
    Strong women that refuse to genuflect to men like him seem to hold a special place in hell in his comments.

  119. 119

    @112 “It may be 13% but 40% support him regardless.”

    I think part of it is they think we need an asshole of our own to deal with the world’s other assholes. American voters generally don’t choose nice people for our presidency.

    @113 The good news is maybe we can convince them melting icebergs will raise the sea level, too.

    @118 “Clearly there is something wrong with this guy”

    He’s a Trumpy. See #110 for further information.

    @122

    Well Hank had his 15 minutes of fame.

    However the difference from a misguided Hank Johnson and Rep Mo Brooks is Hank was on the House Armed Services Committee and not the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

    It is complete and utter morons like Brooks that control the purse strings for science and technology that are truly frightful. What is next from Brooks? Maybe a sacrifice of virgins to appease the angry goddess Pele to make her stop spewing lava?

    Here is one for you, Google “Cargo Cult”, those folks are more like you and Piddles.

    Another day, another school shooting, meanwhile Trump is off to an NRA speaking engagement, where he will pander to whackjobs who hate children for wanting to be safe from guns in their classrooms.

    So a guy breaks into a Trump golf resort, rips down the American flag, brandishes a handgun and shoots at the chandelier while “shouting anti-Trump rhetoric,” and five cops shoot him in the legs. Betcha he’s white.

    Oh yeah, one more thing, he “was hitting the like button on pro-Trump social-media pages up until days before the incident.”

    Looks like a Trumpy trying to commit suicide by cop.
