Apparently, Paul Manafort doesn’t understand just how much trouble he is in. He’s been in contact with a Russian for a public relations effort, clearly in violation of the terms of his bail agreement. Mueller has apparently backed out of the deal and wants Manafort back in court.
Here we go…
OutSmart Time!
• Trump will call Russian president Vladimir Putin to ask which U.S. state he wants as a Christmas gift. Americans cheerfully offer Alabama.
Alabama’s Roy Moore won’t debate or talk to real news, but boy howdy, he’s downright loquacious with the rightwing news.
He just told them that “immorality is at a new low.”
Wouldn’t that mean that morality is at a new high? Which couldn’t be right because it’s not.
And by immorality, he means negative ads from his opponent.
Yeah. That’s what he means. The good stuff starts around 2:30 mark.
Yep, that’s morality.
Quite by accident this morning, while smiling at the names of other worthless Republicans piling up to run for Joe Barton’s newly empty, I came across something I had completely forgotten.
One year ago, Barton’s chief of staff, James Maines, faced his own sex problem, child pornography.
The Mesquite, Texas-native pleaded guilty in December to the charge, admitting that he tried to forward “five child exploitation images from his email account to his U.S. House of Representatives email account.” Investigators also found traces of child porn on his computer “as early as 2004.”
Before a new congressman comes in, they need to scrub down that office with Lysol.
Might as well scrub down all of DeeCee while they are at it.
We’ve all heard it…hell, most of us have spoken it. We know it’s as true as our knowledge that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow. The Russians worked to get Donald Trump elected to the most powerful office in the world. And he and his team colluded with them, and WikiLeaks, to do just that. And NOW, the worst president in the history of the United States is now infesting OUR White House, twitter raging from the toilet and binging on Fox Noise. Jesus, what a travesty.
But, I digress. As we all know, Mike Flynn, fired National Security Advisor and now confessed felon, flipped on Trump to save himself and his son from long sentences in federal prison. Where that goes can’t be good for whoever is left in the White House. But let’s look at what Mueller got Flynn to plead to, which is lying to the FBI. To me, this points to Mueller’s direction in this case, which is not collusion, which will be very tough to prove and prosecute, but to obstruction of justice. Trump’s spastic and ever-changing stories on Russia, Comey’s firing, Flynn’s firing, and his chaotic administration all point to Trump’s desperate attempt to lie his way out of this problem, but it’s not working. The more he lies, the more press he gets, but also the brighter the spotlight shines.
In his past life as a real estate promoter and game show host, Trump lied on a regular basis. He has not held to any normalized standard because he was only screwing his investors, his contractors, his game show contestants, and his banks. Now he’s screwing around on the world stage, and his conduct just simply won’t fly here. Because he’s a tool for the hard right conservatives in the congress they enable this abhorrent behavior. However, once Mueller and the FBI make their case, it will be virtually impossible to protect him.
I have been saying since the first moment of this train wreck, the Trump administration will not end well. Those who voted for him and still support him will have to explain to their grandkids why they did.
