Probably a decent case to be made that the bank is under sub-optimal ownership tho
Don't worry about it, RT; I once believed "It ain't armed robbery if the gun ain't loaded."

On another note: made sure I'm still registered (there have been claims that people have been unregistered to vote due to "errors" in places so it never hurts to double check). Beto signs in my (relatively) rural area outnumber Cruz signs about 20-1. Houses in a neighborhood near me that had Trump signs out front in 16 currently have Beto signs. I'm somehow optimistic for November.

LFG

Ahahahah get ****ed Pauly. So happy to be wrong and get a jury to do it's (incredibly obvious) job, if only partly.

Maybe some hope after all.

The fact that these convictions are "just for fraud" and not collusion will probably take up the rest.

Trump: "The Democrats want to turn America into one big fat sanctuary city for criminal aliens. And honestly they're more protective of aliens, criminal aliens, than they are of the people."
meanwhile the aliens be like "hey, leave us out of this or we'll **** up your Space Force"


also, after the news today, pretty racist to say that crimes are only for the domestic good ol' boys

Cohen's lawyer:

Quote:
"My client testified under oath that Donald Trump directed him to commit a crime by making payments to two women for the principal purpose of influencing an election."

"If those payments were a crime for Michael Cohen, then why wouldn't they be a crime for Donald Trump?"
You make a fair point sir

GOP congressman got indicted today and his indictment is one of the most amazing documents I've ever read. The highlights:

1. He incurred $28,000 in bank overdraft fees and $14,000 in credit card finance charges

2. He was broke as a joke, doing things like making $20 ATM withdrawals to incur $38 overdraft fees

3. Actual quote (huge navy presence in his district): "tell the navy to go **** themselves."

Hunter indicted today. He was the second member of congress to endorse Trump’s candidacy.

The first endorser was Chris Collins, who was indicted 2 weeks ago on federal insider trading charges.

Trump on West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, who is tall and hefty: "He is the largest, most beautiful man."
Quote:
After Jim Justice finishes speaking, Trump says, not trying to be funny, that Justice is "6-foot-11." Justice is 6-foot-7.

"He's a big man. He's ALL man," Trump says.
can he decide if he's gos already?

Quote:
The crowd delivers bigger boos for Maxine Waters than for Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
wow, so weird

Quote:
Trump says he would campaign more but is held back by the Secret Service, because there are so many Secret Service agents. He says he might make "a few trips without them." (.............)
wut

Quote:
Trump on Obama's view of North Korea: "He considered it like - just read the papers, you'll see what he considered." He does not elaborate.
senility obv kicked in and he totally forgot where he was going with that

Quote:
Trump, demanding patience on tariffs, says members of Congress say, "'SIR, can you get this deal done immediately?'...It's gotta gestate. The word gestate...it's like when you're cooking a chicken...turkey, for Thanksgiving..."He says his mom "made the greatest turkey."
more senility

Quote:
Trump boasts of abandoning the Paris Accord. He adds, "What's a more beautiful name than 'the Paris Accord?'" He then suggests a West Virginia Accord.
cheap heat

Quote:
Trump falsely: "We've got the cleanest country in the planet right now. There's nobody cleaner than us."
on the day that reports emerge stating that his environmental deregulation is gonna kill a lot of people, just a ridiculous lie

Quote:
Trump denounces social media "censorship": "I would rather have fake news than have anybody, included liberals, socialists, anything...stopped and censored...we'll live with fake news."

Trump called in October for the revocation of networks' broadcast licenses.
lol

Quote:
"The Space Force. That's very exciting. We need it. That's the new frontier...militarily, that's where it's at."
even more senility

Quote:
Trump on what happened when he was contemplating moving the embassy to Jerusalem: "Every country: don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, please don't do it. DON'T DOO ITTT." He says he thus stopped taking foreign leaders' calls for five days.
makes sense

Quote:
Trump to his supporters: "We're the smart ones. Remember. I say it all the time: you hear, 'the elite'...you're smarter than they are, you have more money than they do...let them have the word elite. You're the super-elite."
but you just gave the word away ... so they're just "super" then?

Quote:
Trump on himself and "the elite": "I'm smarter than they are. I have many much more beautiful homes than they do. I have a better apartment at the top of Fifth Avenue. Why the hell are they 'the elite?' ...To me, I'm insulted."
but you just *said* ..... nvm

very stable genius indeed

Quote:
Trump says Patrick Morrisey will come to him and say, "THEY DON'T WANNA WIN SO MUCH. THEY CANNN'T STANNND IT." He says, he'll respond, "I don't care WHAT THE HELLLL THE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA WANT WE'RE GONNA KEEP ON WINNING ANYWAY."
lololol

Quote:
Trump has concluded after about an hour and 15 minutes, longer than usual. No mention of Cohen, Manafort, or Mueller, and less time spent on the Russia probe - just a couple sentences - than at most events.

There is actually a paragraph in the indictment that that ends with a $20 ATM withdrawal at a 7-11 leaving their bank account with 6 cents, it's one of the most awesomely passive aggressive documents ever written.

Australia political update: another Prime Minister is about to be rolled out of office by his own party. This will be the fourth time it's happened in the last eight years. Solid political process we've got here (though would be kind of handy to have in the US right now)

If trump pardons Cohen from federal charges, and Cohen accepts the pardon, that counts as an admission of guilt, right? So he can still be prosecuted by the state?
