Buses honking at cars in the stop is my favorite thing. I don’t know, yesterday coming home honk honk honk. Sure it’s like 10:30 in a fairly residential neighborhood. So great from the bus, probably less so if you’re in an apartment trying to sleep. I assume it’s rideshare drivers, but maybe it’s delivery people. I know that it’s tough to find a place to idle your car for a few minutes while you wait for the next customer, but stay out of the bus stop. Honk honk honk.

    Get to [the founder of Organization 1] [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending [Organization 1] emails . . . they deal with Foundation, allegedly.

    Felony conspiracy.

    The relationships and dealings between Manafort, Stone, Corsi, and Trump go back thirty years. The direct involvement of Manafort, Stone, and Corsi in coordinating with the Russians through Assange for the hack and release of stolen campaign documents looks pretty certain and probably provable to a legal certainty. The timing of communications and meetings implicates the President, his family, and his closest advisers in Trump Tower during spring of 2016.

    This is where we stand today, along with 40 indictments, cooperation agreements, guilty pleas, and multiple individuals already serving time. The violations charged and convicted run through multiple titles in the US Code. And have been expanded beyond the OSC to involve multiple independent offices of the DOJ in several states with trials pending and their own cooperation agreements and guilty pleas.

    So it’s worth it now to take a brief pause, and review the status of the OSC investigation into the 2016 Republican Presidential campaign’s involvement with Russian foreign espionage agents.

    And remind ourselves that, for all of the 17 months since lifelong Republican Robert Mueller was appointed by the Republican administration, the major media have insisted without fail, that the only legal peril facing the President, his family, and his top advisers stemmed from possible obstruction of justice after the investigation was initiated. Most major media have become so wedded and so comfortable with this idea that they now treat the notion of a US political campaign along with its major financial backers conspiring with a foreign espionage service to disrupt an election as being unremarkable.

    @3 Well, at least they didn’t sell out our country to a real enemy like, say, the Maldives.

    A Republican is someone who sees nothing wrong with any of this.

    Bus honking isn’t that bad…I actually think they are the only ones that should be allowed to honk in a city.

    The other day I almost pounded on the hood of a cabbie, after giving him the finger, for honking his horn unnecessarily. Fucking NYC cabbies are the worst.

    And I also questioned the need for emergency vehicles to sound its bells and whistles when it is 3 am in the morning and not too many other vehicles on the road in addition to the emergency vehicle only going like 30 mph….just fucking drive without the alarm like a normal vehicle. At the intersection, if need be, just give one blast.

    I see it’s back to The Clinton Foundation @ 2 again.

    Just a godamn shame that a thoroughly corrupt U.S. and international law enforcement, ranging from the Chapaqua County DA, through the DOJ, Jefferson ButternutSquash Beuregaurd Sessions, the FBI, Interpol, NATO, and the entirety of the Five Eyes are all completely under the control of the filthy hippie baby cannibal conspiracy. So we get to order them to ignore all of your “evidence”.
    Sucks to be a Republican, that way.

    Now, can we talk about BENGHAAAZIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!

    @8 Today, one of the Project Executives I work with/for (I don’t report to him) in a private conversation referred to his team members as a bunch of Jerry’s kids. And I don’t disagree with. I think one of Jerry’s kids herd the comment – about a half hour later the individual, kind of seasoned with respect to years but not intelligence, came up to me and made comment with reference to a particular task that we all were involved with (a schedule update), and he makes the comment that not too many people understand scheduling. After agreeing with him, he says that he doesn’t even think Tom (not real name), the Project Executive understands it, but that he does.

    The crazy part is that he is pretty much incompetent when it comes to scheduling, or just about any other task, but the Project Executive does, or at least the PX knows twice as much as he.

    What can you fucking do.

    Speaking of your “evidence”, with Corsi out of the picture wearing orange, and Cernovic gone to ground, who will you rely on for up-to-the-election reporting on the fake brain bleeds of Democrats in 2020?

    Will this become Teh Dumbfuck’s new “retirement career”? Keep your attorney on speed dial, genius.

    The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that with a Republican, you can take criminality for granted, whereas with a Democrat, it has to be manufactured out of whole cloth.

  14. 14

    Take it for granted?

    You need a multi-variant 80 dimensional array matrix running 24/7 on a Cray XC40 just to keep track of local RNC office animal sacrifice and noose tying parties.

    13,
    Another interesting difference between Democrats and Republicans: Democrat’s interest in Republican’s crimes consistently produces convictions for Republicans; while Republican’s interest in Democrat’s “crimes” consistently produces convictions for Republicans.

    Oh. Wait…

  17. 17

    16,
    Sure. Of course you would. That’s exactly how you keep the FACTS about the filthy hippie baby cannibal conspiracy of ultimate super power from coming to light.

    The only way you Democrats can maintain total control of all law enforcement, all courts, and all global intelligence gathering is by feeding the cuckservative sheeple the blue pills.

    @17 Total control is what we’re after, all right, because Republicans can’t be trusted with any control. You don’t even want them running the local stray animal shelter. Because they would molest the dogs and cats when they think nobody is looking.

    25,
    Worst client ever.

    They can’t get him to stfu. It’s going to ruin him and his kids and his companies.

    They’ve got all the emails, phone logs, visitor logs, and contemporaneous notes. Saying that Cohen is lying about this is inoperable from a legal defense standpoint. And he has much better options at his disposal. Every indication is that the Special Counsel is bending over backward with respect to the office of the President, granting them every conceivable privilege.

    Issuing these kinds of denials is ruinous in that it boxes in his “acting” AG. If the ManBaby shuts his damn mouth and just gets on the helicopter that leaves it to Mueller to weigh Trump’s responses to the take-home test with Mr. Safety School Lawyer, Esq.’s statement of offense implicating him. But stating in a public forum that Mr. Safety School, Esq. is lying to get a reduced sentence invites demands a thorough exploration of that charge in the interests of justice. He is giving Mueller precisely the ammunition he needs to demand a sit-down while simultaneously extinguishing any pretext “acting” AG Meathead could offer for blocking that demand.

    Geeeezus.

    They just will not shut up.

    I always suspected it would come down to something like this. Once a tiny crack in the dam appeared and the lies were close enough to being pinned directly on President GiantBrain they’d end up doing the exact opposite of what their criminal defense team advised.

    Now that even the lawyers are facing RICO charges, nobody is going to listen to anybody. They aren’t even answering the phone. And pretty soon a few of the smarter ones are going to be looking for an escape hatch.

    It’s only getting worse. No doubt here that Mueller already has the tax returns.

    “Federal agents raid office of attorney who handled Trump Organization taxes for 12 years: report”

    “Federal agents on Thursday raided the office of an attorney who in the past has handled the Trump Organization’s taxes.”

    “The Chicago Sun-Times reports that “federal agents showed up unannounced at the City Hall office of Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke, kicked everyone out and papered over the windows Thursday morning.””

    The Purjury trap 1998. Asking very irrelevant questions about a White House intern when you already have a dress in a baggie just to see if he tells the truth.

    38,
    I have no expectation that President GiantBrain having sworn a false statement will face any legal consequences for it. At least nothing like Clinton. “Equivalency” is a very one-way street when it comes to Executive branch partisanship. But the Clinton comparison is particularly trenchant in that it recalls, for the courts at least, the most recent precedent for the circumstances in which a prosecutor may demand that a sitting President appear and give testimony.

    And it really isn’t a “perjury” trap. It’s more accurate to say it’s a “conspiracy to obstruct” trap.

    I suppose we have to expect that mush-brained, choke-fapping Trumpists are all primed and ready to accept the “to the best of my recollection” excuses. But it’s one thing to claim that you “accidentally” swore a false statement. It’s quite another thing entirely to claim you “accidentally” entered into a complex conspiracy involving multiple individuals (and their attorneys – including your own attorney) to mislead investigators. A few weeks ago I was roundly convinced that Mueller would not survive the calendar year. This could be enough of a lifeline that he’ll outlast this Presidency.
    As I keep saying…

    The White House spox are vehemently denying that President ManBaby is canceling all of his meetings at G20.
    Which of course tells us that he’s cancelling all of his meetings at G20.

    Giuliani is singing from a completely different hymnal in another choir loft in a different church… on another planet.

    Today Giuli told the White House’s best frenemy Mags at NYT that ManBaby’s sworn testimony in the take-home test matched up perfectly with Cohen’s plea statement. Hours earlier President GiantBrain called Cohen a great big liar and said his plea was a lie in exchange for a reduced sentence and that everything Cohen says is a lie. Also lies. LIES!

    @43 Everything you need to know about Laura Loomer in three paragraphs:

    “Far-right activist Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to Twitter’s New York City headquarters on Thursday afternoon to protest the company’s banning her from the social media platform.

    “Loomer attached herself to the front door, blocking the entrance to the building in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. But police told NBC News that Twitter has said it won’t press charges and Loomer can stay chained to the door as long as she wants.

    ” … Loomer told police she could not remove herself ….”

    Surprise! A Republican vote suppressor won’t be a federal judge after all.

    “In a shocking defeat for President Donald Trump, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced Thursday that he can’t support his controversial judicial nominee Thomas Farr, torpedoing the nomination. …

    “Without Scott’s support, and with Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) already saying he was a no vote, Farr doesn’t have the votes to be confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Every Democrat opposed him.”

    Sometimes you just have to laugh at the stupidity of people. I was watching tonight’s 4 pm edition of KOMO news, and there was a story about a lady whose daughter has an unusual name. The pair were traveling on Southwest Airlines, and one to the Southwest agents made some jokes about the girl’s name. The agent went on to post it on social media somewhere so all her friends could have a laugh.

    Now the girl’s name is pronounced AB-suh-DEE and is speller “Abcde.” In other words, this nutty woman named her daughter the first five letters of the alphabet. How did this dolt of a woman think her daughter was going to go through life with her given name and NOT suffer jokes and smartass comments?

    You can’t make this stuff up!

    @50 was that all the screaming I was hearing last night?

    @51 not sure where the Twitter Offices are. I guess I could look. Is Twitter part of Google? Google’s Offices are located in a building on 8th Avenue between 15th Street and 16th Street, spanning all the way to 9th Ave. It’s one huge building.

  57. 57

    I looked it up. Twitter is one block north and 1 avenue west of Google – on West 17th between 7th and 8th. I’m sure it can be mapped, but it’s closer to Google HQ’s then Penn Station or Hudson Yards. Penn is at 34th between 7th and 8th. And Hudson Yards is further West, on 34th between 10th and 11th and growing.

    @60 and it probably doesn’t stop there. Cheeseburgers also come with fries, salty fries and don’t forget the Soda. Most people are not eating cheeseburgers without the fries and soda.

    I didn’t open then link to read the article, so maybe it goes into the same reasoning. But with all that junk food comes the obesity and high blood pressure. With that obesity, depression and high blood pressure comes erectile dysfunction. With that erectile dysfunction probably comes more depression. It’s a vicious circle.

    Doctor’s (more so pharmaceuticals) love this. Che Ching, Che Ching.

    Do yourselves a favor eat healthy and exercise. No excuses! I use to be the above. Not so much because of junk food. Long ago I stopped drinking soda. And my problem was more my mother’s Italian cooking (Carbs – Home made bread, pasta, potatoes and meatballs) and portions. But 4 years ago, at 50 yeas old, I lost 90 lbs and continue to get into better physical shape. I’m in the gym 6 days a week for 1 1/2 hours including a sparring session with a trainer on Saturdays.

    All the troubles I had, physical and mental, are gone. Just today, my dentist tells me that he’s still amazed and is more inspired to go to the gym on the days I go in for the teeth cleaning. He’s younger than me, and in fairly good shape, but finds it difficult to get to the gym.

    Eat healthy people and exercise. It’s never too late to start. If you are older start easy. Consult your doctor first of course. This is the message that should be floating around this Country, it would help solve the healthcare woes and budget issue that this Country is struggling with and it’s only probably going to get worse

  62. 62

    Oh, and for those conservatives that don’t like regulating a bottle of soda, you know because it stifles capitalism (it’s not about freedom although you pretend), you can keep a personal trainer employed or people working in a gym. And you can buy healthy foods.
