Madam Swami Juanita and Her Tea Leaves
Okay, so everybody is in the tea reading business today, so I’ll jump in.
Face it, Trump’s behavior has been particularly weird. No show at Veterans Day events? He loves that stuff because he thinks they’ll give him a surprise parade.
Then a friend of a friend (Bruce Lindner) laid this out beautifully.
• Fox News’ Twitter feed is usually very prolific. They tend to tweet maybe 20-25 tweets per day. Until last Thursday. Not a single tweet in 5 days from Mr. Murdoch’s evil empire.
.
• The same with Wikileaks. No tweets in 5 days.
.
• Matt Drudge, Republican gossipmonger extraordinaire, has scrubbed his entire Twitter page. It’s a blank canvas this morning… as blank as Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ dance card.
.
• Jerome Corsi, co-architect of the Swift Boat Vets for “Truth,” and chief birther during the early Obama years, announced yesterday that he expects Robert Mueller to indict him. His BFF and fellow nutcase, Roger Stone, has gone unusually silent.
.
• Michael Cohen, Trump’s one-time “fixer” lawyer, took the train into Washington yesterday accompanied by his lawyer. They went directly to the Special Counsel’s Office, where one assumes, they weren’t there to discuss sports and the weather.
And I don’t put much faith in Daily Kos, but they have other warning signs.
I know we’ve been disappointed before when there were warning signs. Oh Lord, I know that.
I don’t run the teevee during the day because it makes me crazy but I’m keeping the remote close at hand.
“When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are,
Anything your heart desires will come to you.”
C’mon, Robert Mueller! Please, let this be worth the wait!
1I agree with those who posted on Twitter and etc linked from Madam Swami Juanita’s original post that the new acting AG has prolly informed Trump-land where Mueller’s investigation is headed. I’d love to read a Jim Acosta piece detailing how Fox News talking heads were arrested at Teterboro attempting to escape from sealed indictments.
2Micr, Dotard45 may be even dumber than I thought, if he needs Matt the Mole to report the direction of Team Mueller. Maybe Donnie’s defense team needs a heads up, since it is without doubt their client lies to them. Cohn, Flynn and Manafort are singing and Donnie has no clue as to the tune? Have always been curious as to the extra special deal given Flynn and have suspected it came with a large chunk of cheese handed to Team Mueller with RAT45’s unmistakable tiny little paw prints on it. While Cohen and Manafort need some major paw print laden gifts to Team Mueller to extract themselves from serious prison time.
Gift wrapped and with bows, Dimwit Jr, Javanka and Eric would be 4 tiny rats. Give me Donnie, Pence and Old Scratch, then let the bargains begin.
3It appears that the Enquirer is running Twitter-silent as well. Maybe it’s a court order like Kos thought. Koowell!
4Yes, I noticed strange goings on too – – mainly around Trump dodging the Veterans Day commemorations on both sides of the Atlantic, as who could miss that?. Even he has to know that dioesn’t look good, but yet he couldn’t help himself.
I assumed someone finally sat down with him and had the talk, you know, how the Democrats in The House now control the committees, and the power those committees wield, yes, even over the President.
Checks and balances Mr. Trump, it’s how our government works, whether you like it or not.
But I think Bruce and Juanita may be on to something bigger, even beyond Trump having a 24/7 panic attack over the last 5 days or so.
5His behavior in France as well as back here had me thinking that his mental state had really gone blooey and the fog thing with the copter was just an excuse to cover up like Nancy did so often with Ronnie in the 2nd term. I’m actually received to see that there is way more to it all. to surprised that Mueller is acting like there is not such a thing at Matt Whitaker. This almost sounds like the last act of a great Wagnerian opera!
6Let’s do everything we can to encourage this. Spread the word:
Yes, you can stop using Twitter.
7Yes, you can stop using Twitter.
Yes, you can stop using Twitter.
Yes, you can stop using Twitter.
Well, now we have the Misses tweeting away – https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/13/politics/melania-trump-mira-ricardel/index.html
I bet she wants to hasten her husbands departure so that she can file for divorce.
8Nah, the shithole Donald’s just hold up in some sleazy hotel ‘interviewing’ those 5 Russian prostitutes (complete with hidden cameras) that Putin gave him as a gift. His staff had strict orders not to bother Trump until the ‘do not disturb’ sign came off the door handle … been a few days now.
Meanwhile the Mercers and Murdoch clan have been busy trying to find out how many Democratic Congressman they can blackmail into sabotaging the Mueller investigation.
9Rachel had a piece last week about evidence of very hushed up hearings in DC related to Mueller somehow. My money is on indictments against a bunch of Trump campaign and administration folks, including Donny Jr. This would totally spoil Cheetoh Jesus’ mood because he was planning on a 16-year presidency via getting “the smart one” elected as puppet POTUS in 2024. Ivanka won’t cooperate and Eric is a loser, Barron wouldnt be 35 years old by then.
10I’m so confused.
I thought the drop off in Faux Corp Twitter started after the crowd surrounded Carlson’s DC home.
Dunno…
11My suggestion; https://www.amazon.com/Kettle-Popped-Popcorn-Bulk-Gal/dp/B00THQ1458/ref=sr_1_10_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1542153940&sr=1-10&keywords=popcorn+in+bulk
12Perhaps mueller is waiting for state AG’s to drop the hammer to sidestep any demented donnie pardons.
Just hope he doesn’t duck and do a frist or what the special counsel did in the ed meese case. ( Said -dubious bank deal/loans? – yeah it was a crime but of a nature that a normal prosecutor in a normal situation would not prosecute so gave him a get out of jail free card)
13You know people tend to overthink Trump, assuming some deeper reasoning than is there. I think he’s just depressed, and not even so much about big investigations. He’s just worried because now people are likely to be able to see his tax returns. And even that isn’t because he’s afraid of getting caught; he’s always been able to skate on his criminal behavior. It’s simply that people will be able to see he never was as rich as he’s always claimed.
It’s the same as his NDAs over sexual misconduct: it’s not the misconduct per se he’s been worried about, but that these women will describe his penis, and that he’s just a fat man with a smallish penis.
These simple fears are what’s uppermost in his mind.
14Mueller has always but always been so far out in front of everyone else that I had a feeling he was way more than prepared for what could happen after the election. but this is damn interesting to watch!
15Maggie, exactly, as usual! Understanding that Bob Mueller did not need to take this job, and that once again he stepped up as a patriot to serve our country. I want the Senate to reflect our appreciation, that includes Old Scratch McConnell. Albeit he’s doubtful.
We’re busily expressing our concerns to Senator Cortez-Masto and our new Senator elect Jacky Rosen. It’s not “just” Team Mueller. Our concern is with the amazing and dedicated young talent at DOJ recruited during the AGs Holder and Lynch time who have been demoralized by Sessions and hopefully not to be Matt Whitaker. Expressing the same concerns for the Dept. of State built by Secretaries Clinton and Kerry decimated by Rexxon Drillerson and now being drilled by Pompeo. The second phase of good recruitment is retention. We want our Senate to express that concept to those who remain and any young talent about to graduate college deciding on career choices.
Dotard45 and his maladministration are Steve Bannon style intent upon destroying our basic institutions at the behest of Vladimir Putin and for other nefarious reasons of self interest. So, yes, we’re encouraging our Senators to hold the line and begin the rebuilding now and not wait for Donnie to depart.
16Donnie Jr. has been flogging ‘hand blown’ Christmas ornaments. Could he be trying to raise bail money???
