Okay, this is kinda weird.

The Trump 2020 reelection campaign paid $50,000 to Junior’s lawyer two weeks before the Russia meeting came out.

“It was not immediately clear whether the campaign expenditure was renumeration for Futerfas’s representation of Trump’s son, on Russia-related or other matters. But the payment sticks out on a presidential campaign’s expenditure list: Futerfas’s expertise is in white collar criminal defense, not political and election law.”

And that ain’t all.

The Trump re-election campaign also paid $89,561 to the Trump Corporation for legal services, just three days after the payment to Futerfas.

The records were released today so I imagine this is gonna get way worse.  Have fun and conduct your own search – it’s 4,000 pages!

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Want to take out some frustrations this weekend.  Thank Fenway Fran for this fun way to feel better.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom and watch a dinosaur eat him.

Okay, okay, I know you’re needing a Louie fix.  I know you’re having withdrawal symptoms what with Donald Trump taking all the crazy headlines.

But, Louie is working day and night to raise his crazzzzy quotient.  And, bygawd, he’s done it.

Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) thinks that transgender members of the U.S. military are an “advertising bonanza” for “radical Islamists.”

“When it’s advertised that the United States Congress is in favor of taking men and surgically making them into women with the money that they would use to protect the nation otherwise…then it is an advertising bonanza for the radical Islamists,” Gohmert said Friday in a speech on the house floor, after referring to transness as a “type of lifestyle.”

If you’re transgender, you’re emboldening the enemy.

Later in his statement, he says he knows this information because his “Muslim friends” told him so.  Then he caught himself and added quickly, “friendly Muslims — Muslim friends, yes, I do have them from around the world.”

No, he does not.

And as a special added treat, here’s is Louie’s latest campaign finance report for you to have fun with.   Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen was especially interested in this one.

Jordanian Airlines?  One way ticket?  I dunno ’bout that.

Okay, so it turns out that there was another Russian at the Don Junior meeting.

So now we have three versions of what happened.

In the interview, Akhmetshin said he did not know how the Trump Tower meeting was set up. He said he had lunch with Veselnitskaya that day and she asked his advice on what to say at the session: “She said, ‘Why don’t you come with me?’ I said, ‘Really?’ We were having lunch a few blocks north of Trump Tower.”

He said that “as part of her work, with her clients,” Veselnitskaya had found that an American hedge fund was violating Russian tax and securities law and that the fund “seemed linked to the [Democratic National Committee].” He said that Veselnitskaya “left a document behind” after the session.

So the adoption story loses a vote.

Oh dear.  A document. There’s a document.

ON EDIT:  Eight people?  My feeling are hurt that I wasn’t invited!  Hey, the only people who weren’t invited were me, Flo from Progressive, and Dan Quayle.

I finally got a photo of the attendees at the Russia Meeting.

‘You’re in such good shape! Beautiful!’ What Trump told Brigitte Macron, 64, after awkward embrace of French first lady – and he repeated it to her husband, 39.

Donald Trump complemented the French First Lady Brigitte Macron after spending an hour with her on Thursday, saying: ‘You’re in such good shape.’

He told the 64-year-old wife of Emmanuel Macron, 39, that she was ‘beautiful’ and repeated his words about being in shape to her husband at the end of an official welcome ceremony in Paris.

The comments were caught on camera by a French government video crew and posted to Facebook.
The awkward exchange came after a lingering embrace with Mme Macron as she and her husband welcomed him and Melania to Paris on the eve of Bastille Day.

Well, at least he didn’t try to grab her by the …

Somebody haul his butt back to the airplane and bring him home.
