I looked at the headline and thought - must be Russian - duh!

“Affliction Entertainment.” Another failed Trump investment. OTOH, that’s a pretty good name for what Trump has provided over the last couple of weeks.

It seems that Putin’s minions are deeply embedded in America. I wonder how many active and sleeper cells are out there?

I wonder who the other investors were, and who the vendors they paid. A quick-folding entertainment enterprise has serious laundering potential (See, e.g., The Producers). They probably came across a bunch of payment records in Cohen’s trove and wanted to check some of the claimed numbers.

Had to google. : ) When I was around tween age sometimes I’d put the professional wrestling on. It was funny as a kind of crude folk theater, but the thing I remember most vividly is the audience and how they seemed to take it seriously. That was trippy. It’s hard to believe there are people who can dress and feed themselves and yet be so incredibly credulous. But now I see how useful a piece of information that is to keep in mind pretty much always, in all situations.

He does not look like the guy who threatened Stormy Daniels at all ?

Bobby looks like a bad-a-- and seeing how he hasn’t failed any drug tests (Josh Barnett), that’s a good thing.

I bought up Lashley, because though he was a WWE employee at the time, he’s exactly the type of Superman like person that Trump likes to advertise or associate with.

No collusion, but endless collisions.

Jesus H.! Does this ridiculously sordid soap opera have no bottom?

I guess we should prepare ourselves for Mueller questioning GLOW, and Roller Derby queens next!?

Dick Nixon was the Redskins’ semi-official jock sniffer.

Is Donald Trump Putin’s quasi-official jock sniffer?

ESPN wants to know.

She never mentioned an accent on 60 Minutes.

This guy has terrible posture. What sort of athlete has posture like that???

Maybe Trump wasn’t a horrible businessman. All of his failed businesses are perfect for laundering Russian money. Now Mueller needs to crack the NRA money laundering scheme. Following the money might just lead to Russia - Trump election tampering.
