In this country, drug dealers often have dogs as a deterrent to police raids. Not in Brazil. A parrot almost foiled a police raid on some drug dealers.
When the green-and-white bird spotted officers Tuesday at its owners’ Teresina home, the parrot squawked “Mama, Police!” in Portuguese, according to the local outlet Oliberal.com.
Despite the bird’s efforts to tip off the owners, a man and woman were arrested, the outlet reports. Drugs, including crack and marijuana, were also found at the property as well as large amounts of money.
Police have reason to believe the parrot was trained to report police in the area. The bird, who reportedly has no name, hasn’t been saying much since he was taken into custody. He’s been transferred to a zoo since there’s no law about singing like a canary in Brazil.
The clean-cut, bright, up-and-coming young man who was co-founder of the national organization Students for Trump is in trouble. John Lambert was on national teevee several times urging students to vote for Trump.
John Lambert, 23, was arrested last week and charged by Southern District of New York prosecutors with wire fraud for having invented a lawyer persona named “Eric Pope” that he used to solicit legal work online.
Problem is – Lambert is not a lawyer.
How the hell did he think he could get away with this? When people give you money to be their lawyer, they expect you to do something – file papers, go talk to the prosecutor, get you a will, something.
Nor will it suprise you that he attended a private Christian college in North Carolina.
It’s gonna come as no surprise to you that in 2011 white evangelicals by 60 percent believed that a public official who “commits an immoral act in their personal life” cannot still “behave ethically and fulfill their duties in their public and professional life.”
Clinton on their minds.
However, in 2016, right after the release of the Access Hollywood tape, that number dropped to 20%. Holy cow, that’s a 40% drop of their morality pants.
So, this got pollsters curious. Is the drop due to enlightenment or something else? So this time, they asked people about Clinton and Trump specifically.
White evangelicals had a substantially different reaction when asked about Trump or Clinton. When primed to think about Trump, only 6 percent of them say that an elected official who acts immorally in private is incapable of being ethical in public life. But when Bill Clinton is mentioned, that rises to 27 percent — a 21-point increase.
The study is worth a look-see. It explores other details but the results are always the same – Evangelical Christians believe Democrats are so unworthy of their respect.
Oh, you know that Donald Trump is going to be seething. Deutsche Bank, which is pretty much a continuing gold star criminal enterprise, has considered the repercussions of ignoring a subpoena and has decided …
(CNN)Deutsche Bank has begun the process of providing financial records to New York state’s attorney general in response to a subpoena for documents related to loans made to President Donald Trump and his business, according to a person familiar with the production.
Last month, the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James issued subpoenas for records tied to funding for several Trump Organization projects.
Trump’s reaction?
Hell, the last time he got upset, he pretty much declared armed war against Mexico. Everybody just ignored him. Remember when that kinda stuff was terrifying? Not so much now. We’ve come to expect it.
Article 3 of the Articles of Impeachment of Richard Nixon.
… has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on April 11, 1974, May 15, 1974, May 30, 1974, and June 24, 1974, and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas. The subpoenaed papers and things were deemed necessary by the Committee in order to resolve by direct evidence fundamental, factual questions relating to Presidential direction, knowledge or approval of actions demonstrated by other evidence to be substantial grounds for impeachment of the President. In refusing to produce these papers and things Richard M. Nixon, substituting his judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry, interposed the powers of the Presidency against the the lawful subpoenas of the House of Representatives, thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives.
