Easy to see why Trump calls it a witch hunt …

The Special Counsel has now secured guilty pleas from President Trump’s personal attorney, his campaign manager, his deputy campaign manager, a foreign policy advisor to his campaign, and his National Security Advisor. He has filed 191 charges against more than thirty individuals—almost all of whom are in President Trump’s orbit, Vladimir Putin’s orbit, or both.

because you could fill Yankee Stadium with all the damn witches.

Jennifer Rubin says that “Trump should be freaked out about now.”

Wanna bet he doesn’t come home from Argentina?

Let’s trot over to Maricopa County, Arizona, home of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and, apparently, a whole of other wacky people.

Yep, the details are that he was adjusting his semiautomatic handgun, that was being held in his waistband, started to slip.

The gun, which was not in a holster, discharged as he attempted to reposition it, the man told cops.

The Arizona Republic reported when police officers responded to the gun shot the man was found in the meat section of the Walmart store with “survivable injuries.”

Officers said they filed a report for the unlawful discharge of a firearm but it was believed to be accidental.

In the meat section. Rarely is that level of perfection ever seen in a Walmart.

Thanks to Debbo for the heads up.

Numero Uno:  “Donald Trump appeals to men secretly insecure about their manhood.”

Seriously, y’all, the Washington Bygawd Post did a story today telling us there’s now semi-scientific proof that men who are “secretly insecure about their manhood” just love Donald Trump.

No shoot, Sherlock, except I don’t see a damn thing about secretly.  Have you seen these men at Trump rallies? Honey, either they are older than rocks or totally unjumpable.  The young ones are men who don’t get to participate in ya-ya.  No joyful mattress thrashing in their lives.

Good Lord – next they’re going to have a study to see if Republican women are just mean.  Let me save them the trouble: Yes.  Yes, they are mean spirited people.

Okay, so the big news today is that Michael Cohen pleads guilty.  Ya wanna know why?  Because he’s freeking guilty.

CNN has it all over the top of the page.  Big news.  Big giant news.

That’s not the most important news today.

The news is about one of the largest criminal enterprises in the world:  Deutsche Bank.  This morning Deutsche Bank was raided in Germany.

Five other Deutsche offices in the city were searched in an operation involving about 170 police and officials.

Prosecutors are looking into whether Deutsche Bank staff helped clients set up offshore accounts to “transfer money from criminal activities”.

Deutsche is a money laundering operation.  They’ve been caught many times before and let me tell you what happens.

In 2017, Deutsche Bank was fined $630m (£504m) by US and UK regulators in connection with a Russian money laundering plan.

Under the scheme, clients illegally moved $10bn out of Russia via shares bought and sold through the bank’s Moscow, London and New York offices.

Okay, so they were fined $630 million on a $10 billion dollar deal.  That’s not a fine; that’s a fee.  I mean, it’s like a 6.3% fee.

But what it did do is make money launderers scared.  They are at least moving their money to another bank they can control.  Deutsche’s profits are falling.

Keep an eye on this one – I’m betting some Russian oligarchs are gonna take a hit.

Take your imagination over to Fort Worth, where men are men and sheep are scared.

Fort Worth is about 10 years behind all the other big cities in Texas because they don’t cotton to that there book-learning stuff unless it’s Jesus approved.  Texas Christian University is there.

So, anyway a Muslim man accidentally got appointed – surely they wouldn’t do this on purpose – as the vice-chair of the Tarrant County Republican Party.

And the shame of it all is that it’s so near Jesus’ birthday.

Hissy fits abound! There’s horrors unfolding at the campfire.

Some in the party say Shahid Shafi, a surgeon and city council member in a Fort Worth suburb, may be more loyal to Islamic law or not supportive enough of the party’s pro-Israel platform.
