Cracks me up when some news orgs say "This is approaching Nixonian levels" in response to Trump demonization of Int people.
As if Trump's mischaracterization of the FACTS that were presented to him by DNI/FBI etc was somehow much less than Nixon's "smoking gun". Oh how times have changed. The current POTUS can spew a lie per minute and it doesn't fucking matter, does it?

So, the judge who is determining the attorney client privelidge issues for the Cohen seizures is Kimba Wood..for those who don’t know, Clinton’s 2nd AG nominee, before Janet Reno got the job....she was sandbagged by Repubes due to LEGALLY hiring of a non documented housekeeper (aka Nannygate).
So.... “this gum wrapper? Inadmissable!” “this Papa John’s pizza box? inadmissable!” “these 16 portable hard drives, 6 iPads and 14 phones? Admissible!” Maybe we can look forward to Merrick Garland ruling on some corruption cases soon... |

"I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump!"
Classic Trump

Yep, just turn the script (ie facts) around, and presto! We have a new story.
The mid-term will be rigged, and Putin helped the Dems. You will hear this a million times now. Peltor and tesla will start saying it.

here’s the one that’s making my brain explode:
trump just tweeted a $12 billion rescue package for farmers harmed by his idiotic tariffs so, basically, he’s turned a prosperous industry into a soviet nightmare that drains the economy who will pay for it? not him, as he doesn’t pay taxes (“that makes him smart”) socialism, republican style... fmlx20 |

It's about time someone on cable news said the truth. Trump's "support" among voters is far less than 25% of the electorate, and it's shrinking. But you wouldn't know that listening to the mainstream media's obsession with "The elusive Trump Voter." (This isn't Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, people.) How about paying some attention to the needs and desires of the majority who find Trump to be illegitimate and terrible? That doesn't get ratings does it kthxbye.
And thanks to Lawrence O'Donnell and John Heilemann for having this conversation: LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: A new poll shows that the president's approval rating is far below a majority. But 88% of Republicans say they support the president. Unfortunately, in most of the media, they never do the math on what that actually means, since only 26% of voters are Republicans. JOHN HEILEMANN: Here we go. O'DONNELL: 88% of 26% is something like 23%... HEILEMANN: Yeah. O'DONNELL: ...of voters support Donald Trump. HEILEMANN: The Republican party is shrinking. Man, you talk about getting abused by Fox News. I'm going to get abused for saying that. O'DONNELL: That's just a numerical fact. HEILEMANN: This will be the third time today I talk about this. We spend a lot of time on the Trump supporter. It is the way to try to understand what Trump is doing. It explains a lot of his tactical maneuvers and his long-term plan to try to survive the onslaught he is facing right now on a variety of legal fronts. But in the end, the country is not with Donald Trump. O'DONNELL: Right. HEILEMANN: And we normally, in every election I have ever covered, we focus on moderate voters, swing voters. We focus on all kinds of voters that make that difference in elections. Now all we talk about is the Trump base, the Trump voters. Instead of focussing on the fact that the ABC News Poll today said 75% of the American people are against him attacking NATO. The vast majority is against Trump on these major issues. We have to focus on his supporters because it is so important to what he's doing in the White House. We also have to focus on the bigger picture, which is that the country is not with him. |

I have a really hard time believing 25%. I wish it was true. But, I dunno....
He sounded positively desperate at the Veterans thing today. "Just believe me, never the news" type thing. He always pushed that, of course, but now he sounds very sad and worried.

don’t contradict ilducio on any point or he’ll call you a trump lackey and put you on ignore haaa haa haa. but he’s about right— registered democrats are about 30% the largest block is actually registered as independent at 42% oh yeah but guess what— independents tend to lean republican, so they make up the difference. a lot of independents voted for trump unfortunately. yeah. and they will continue unless the democrats put forward a better proposition. think about it. many classic republicans like, say, george will, have repudiated trump because he’s anathema to many conservative principles. trump’s base is from neither here nor there— many trumpets voted for obama before. yeah. republican politicians are cowardly riding his wave (or cowardly retiring like the speaker of the house) but THE MULE (see asimov’s FOUNDATION for reference, lol) is pulling populists from all parts. the trumpet used to be a registered democrat actually. true story. he’s not a principled person but an opportunist though. i could share some interesting links of stuff i’ve been reading about this whole mess, and i read from all parts of the (reasonable) spectrum because i want a clear picture of reality, but that doesn’t sit well with der komissar, lol, so read at your own peril. ps- i sometimes even read from the unreasonable spectrum like breitbart to know wtf they’re thinking because in my wildest nightmares i myself can’t come up with the sort of shit they publish |

eg the breitbart headline at this moment is that the trump-endorsed candidate beat the non-trumpet in the georgia governor runoff election.
*shudder* — meanwhile, look at interviews with young republicans featured in yesterday’s washington post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...nd-with-trump/ |

I have quick look at Fox every day. It makes me ill to think that millions eat that shit up.
So.....CNN got Cohen's tape!! I don't know if it has smoking gun shit on it, and I won't listen to a single word that fuckwad Giuliani says. (I actually admired that man....once.) But it's safe to say that Cohen has turned on Trump. Everyone who comes into Trump's orbit will end up smelling like shit.

Thanks a lot Soup for the higher resolution image. I had been trying to find myself, but my Google skills are apparently lacking
As I work in the automotive industry, this is what worries me very very much. This is a Google translation of a Dutch press article of this morning, with some minor editing by myself. I guess you guys do not have an expression "sweat the breast" (meaning something like buckle up)? Quote:

Recently, special counsel Robert Mueller indicted a dozen Russian operatives working in Russia for hacking into the DNC mail server and sending the emails to Wikileaks. Meanwhile, said server is nowhere to be found (it’s been misplaced) while the time stamps on the files that were published on Wikileaks show that they were obtained by copying to a thumb drive rather than sending them over the internet. Thus, this was a leak, not a hack, and couldn’t have been done by anyone working remotely from Russia

CrowdStrike, the company the DNC brought in to initially investigate and remediate the hack, actually shared images of the DNC servers with the FBI.
For the purposes of an investigation of this type, images are much more useful than handing over metal and hardware, because they are bit-by-bit copies of a crime scene taken while the crime was going on. Live hard drive and memory snapshots of blinking, powered-on machines in a network reveal significantly more forensic data than some powered-off server removed from a network. It’s the difference between watching a house over time, carefully noting down who comes and goes and when and how, versus handing over a key to a lonely boarded-up building. By physically handing over a server to the FBI as Trump suggested, the DNC would in fact have destroyed evidence. (Besides, there wasn’t just one server, but 140.) |

RE - Shut It Down Like yourself, I too can applaud Muller for finding justic for some law breakers in this investigation. However, I posted the following on March 22. I still believe Muller (C) is so far outside the scope of his authority: Quote:
Many (me included) believe because Muller hasn’t shown one bit of evidence to the American People regarding collusion, he is wasting time and millions of dollars trying to get anyone TRUMP related on anything. YES - a few have fallen on their swords for crimes in no way tied to Russia or the campaign, but that’s not what Muller was charged with finding. Many (me included) believe Muller is now trying to get President Trump on Obstruction Of Justice charges......again, Muller has produced NOTHING!!! Many of the Russian companies Muller indicated are now showing up in U.S. Courts demanding to see the evidence against them and Muller won’t show up in Court. These Russian companies are calling Muller’s bluff and it appears he has a losing poker hand! Quote:
Thanks TW2113 for realizing and showing there are at least two options to my post. I’m afraid skuj and many others are so blindsided they often don’t see or understand the difference......and because they are so short sided, they respond by attacking. Quote:
Just simply pointing out some version of this happened before and none of you moaned, groaned and carried on so......because a Democrat won? |
