Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

President Business announced we beat ISIS again. for the second time inside of a year. also, not actually true, because compulsive liar. as has become tradition, dumb announcements are made about grand things whenever lots of bad press is happening at home in a desperate attempt to deflect.

"we just took over 100 percent caliphate". LOL, that word...i don't think it means what you want it to mean. all your caliphate belong to us?

This seems very similar to the outrageous stories that NK dictators have liked to share, like how Kim Jong il shot 18 on an 18 hole golf course

Interesting piece on Fox News' relationship with Trump and the White House. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/...hite-house

[ScottyB]

24/7 news "entertainment" channels are one of the worst things to come out of the modern age. when you can't fill the air time with useful info you get a lot of these bullshit opinion segments which border on talk show drama half the time. the most embarrassing is Hannity, who IMO is quickly filling Bill "grabby hands" O'reilly's shoes as "most punchable person on TV"

fox is the worst offender, has been for a while, and it should have been apparent to everyone what was going on when one of Trumps first moves was to hand pick the "good" and "evil" news outlets immediately after taking office. i've never seen such a dog and pony show in my life. i hate what its done to my older relatives too. they really bought into the whole "we're the good guys" shtick and i hear more and more talk like they're some kind of victims. it keeps them tuned in, like millions of others, and Fox's advertisers sure love it.

Scott - that is essentially what that New Yorker piece delves into. How Hannity rose to power once O'Reilly and Bill Shine were booted from Fox. It's a long read, but they also have an audio recording you can listen to while you work.

Oh, the owner of the massage parlor Kraft got busted at was also chilling with Trump at a Superbowl watch party? And there are pictures of her with other prominent political types?

I can't stand the guy as much as the next person, but this is trying to make news where there probably isn't any. She was the founder, not the current owner... and beyond not being charged (because she isn't affiliated with it), do you think Trump handpicks attendees or vets people he takes selfies with? He does enough bullshit to grill him on, we don't have to try so hard.

Yang, who goes by Cindy, was not charged in the multi-agency anti-human trafficking operation last month that shut down 10 Asian day spas in Florida, none of which are registered to her or her family.

Fear is a hell of a drug.

Look, I just prefer presidents who don't get captured...in pictures with business owners connected to sex trafficking okay?

Maybe all of her massage parlor business was totally above board and the people who took it over happened to be criminals but where there's smoke, there's usually fire:

Yang’s family still owns several South Florida spas. The family’s Tokyo Day Spa branches have attracted the attention of at least two local police agencies over allegations of prostitution, and are discussed online as places where men can pay for sexual extras.

Maybe everything's legit and she just wanted to use her money to hob nob with politicians. But there have been enough connections between some wealthy and prominent people and sex crime scandals that it seems suspicious.

Nothing you have posted connects her to sex trafficking. Random pictures are one of the laziest forms of "reporting" and exactly what conservatives used to do with Obama. Come back when you have actual facts of their connection.

How about you go away until you decide not to be pissy.

Bill Shine has resigned from his role as communications chief to move to Trump's re-election campaign. Maybe Hannity will take over as the communication chief now?

[G.Irish]

Air Force Secretary resigned today too.

Bill Shine lasted the longest of Trump's Comms Directors, but still didn't last a year. Gonna be a real tough job with all of the inquiries and subpoenas flying now.

And here we have Erik Price (brother of Betsy DeVos) admitting to a felony during a live interview on Al Jazeera. I'd say he may be joining Cohen shortly.

I'm just wondering when all this lying to Congress is gonna out people in jail. Seems like a number of people have committed perjury.

Also curious to see if Manafort gets significant time tacked on to his comically light slap on the wrist. Dude got less than a third of the time his own lawyers were asking for.

Having worked in the court system for 10 years and the federal court system for 5 years, perjury can be a hard crime to prove. Conjecture and belief are one thing, but being able to prove that something is an overt lie AND being able to prove that the person that said it KNEW it was a lie when they said it, are two completely different things. I’ve seen numerous perjury cases fall apart because the person that made the accused false statement made it based on incorrect or incomplete information. It’s easier in drug cases or smaller scale cases, but when you get into big government conspiracies and such, it becomes an especially hard crime to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, especially with the vague and open ended way people word responses to grand jury’s and in trials.

Prince gets a pass from the CIA, will probably get a pass from congress. 

The tricky bit about Prince is that he's involved in so much secret squirrel shit and he's so useful, there's basically no way he'd go to jail for not "telling congress" he was doing the skunk shit he does every day. Forget he's Betsy Devos's brother, that shit doesn't matter. He's ended African horn piracy, he was the secret fist of the CIA (probably still is) and I'm gonna tell you there's zero% chance of him even sharing the same bathroom as Cohen, much less a prison cell. Michael Cohen was a shitty patsy lawyer, Erik Prince is a fuckin' warlord.

[ScottyB]

Erik Prince is a fuckin' warlord.

Rex said it more eloquently than i could have.

dude basically runs a private army.  he's the tool nobody in the gov't wants to admit they use, but they'll never let anybody take him away from the toolbox.  he'll be protected, and everyone will forget about him in a month.

he took corporate teleconferences from the hills of the 'stan... running his company and hunting Bin Laden at the same time for YEARS. He knows more about sketchy government actions than the government does. Also, he wouldn't go to jail unless he wanted to go to jail. he'd disappear into thin air.

[WRXtranceformed]

He has a palatial compound out in Middleburg I believe, definitely one of the untouchables

Ha, this guy married a girl who I went to high school with and hung out in our circle. They both became attorneys, I didn't know he ended up becoming the secretary of the MD Democratic party.
