Okay, so there’s this guy named Felix Sater who is a former business partner of Trump.

Sater is preparing himself to go to prison.  And Sater says he won’t be alone.

Trump recently made remarks that could point to a money laundering scheme, Wood reported.

“I mean, it’s possible there’s a condo or something, so, you know, I sell a lot of condo units, and somebody from Russia buys a condo, who knows?” the president said.

Sater, who has a long history of legal troubles and is cooperating with law enforcement, was one of the major players responsible for selling Trump’s condos to the Russians.

It appears that Sater is cooperating with Mueller.

“In about the next 30 to 35 days, I will be the most colourful character you have ever talked about,” Sater told New York Magazine. “Unfortunately, I can’t talk about it now, before it happens. And believe me, it ain’t anything as small as whether or not they’re gonna call me to the Senate committee.”

Hey, no wonder Mueller had to bring on more lawyers.  Wise guys have to take a number and stand in line to flip on Trump.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up. 

From the New York Times Breaking News feeder.

Well, I think the New York Times pretty much solved that how and when problem.

Appropriately enough, the Trump administration is having a contest of who is the biggest liar.

We’ll let them haggle that out over at IQuit/You’reFired.com

Happy Friday!

Ready for some weekend fun time?

Well, here ya go.  This is probably one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time.  It’s about jury selection in the Martin Shkreli case went.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

I won’t nauseate you be repeating all of the nonsense spewing forth from Donald Trump’s mouth and fingers these last few days except for the tweet about Confederate monuments:

Today, he’s really, really concerned about the removal of “beautiful statues…”. Never mind that these “beautiful statues” are of racists, oppressors and treasonous turncoats.  Not only is his criticism historically and factually misdirected, he is ignoring his own malfeasance when it comes to preserving sculptures.  Back in 1980, Trump was getting ready to build the building that put his name on the map, none other than Cheeto Tower on Fifth Avenue.  The building was to be built on the site where the Bonwit Teller building stood.  The building had beautiful art deco friezes, which Trump publicly promised to preserve and donate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  I know you’ll be shocked by this, but he lied.  When he found out that preserving the sculptures would delay construction of his monument to himself by two weeks, he ordered the sculptures jack hammered into a million pieces.  Nice.  Here’s what they looked like before Trump struck:

Here’s the detail:

Yep, these are gone, replace by this:

So, Trump’s crocodile tears over taking down Jim Crow era statues of bigots and oppressors are a little lost on me.

As if you needed another reason to be appalled, I’m happy to help.

After Cheeto Jesus’ inauguration, he announced with great fanfare two councils of CEOs all designed to Make America Great Again, whatever that means.  The two councils, the Manufacturing Council and the Strategy & Policy Forum, were supposedly organized to help shape policy to increase business and generate jobs for American workers.  In reality, though, they were simply figurehead in nature, designed to reward CEOs for supporting Trump.  In fact, to my knowledge the councils never actually met outside of the initial photo ops, and were just used to raise the profiles of its members.

All that puffery came crashing down the last few days after Trump’s catastrophic response to the violence in Charlottesville, defending neo-Nazis and racist white supremacists and attacking the media for simply asking questions.  In the face of this disaster, CEOs began bailing from the Manufacturing Council. Today, the Strategy & Policy Forum met in a conference call, and in the face of a crowd of CEOs ready to resign, they disbanded.  Later, through Twitler, Trump also disbanded the Manufacturing Council.  I guess he decided that the defections were simply too glaring to gloss over.

This development is not insignificant.  Think about it – Trump rode to the WH on the backs of bigots and the ignorant; but worse, he also rode on the shoulders of business executives who were so self interested in stuffing their wallets even more full that they allowed themselves to be used to elect a depraved carnival barker.  These very same executives are now fleeing like rats off a sinking ship.

I want to say something.  As someone who is eligible for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution …

… please tell the Daughters of the Confederacy that they can kiss my butt.

Bitches, don’t talk to me about patriotism.

So then I see that Jeff Sessions wants to know about me and you being in the Resistance.  He wants to intimidate us into following blindly after Trump.

Sessions, come on over here, you little sawed off, quivering, lily livered, pathetic excuse for a man and I will tell you a great deal about what I am doing.

Look.  Here’s the deal:  if we are knocking down confederate monuments, why is Jeff Sessions still standing?  That’s all the man is – a Confederate monument.

(I told y’all I need some rest.  Oh dear Lord, I’m having a fit.)
