READ: Geoffrey Berman Details Closed-Door Talk With AG Barr Before Being Fired | Talking Points Memo
One is an annoying bag of hot air, and the other is a bagpipe.
Additional crops of Senators will be up for reelection in 2022 and 2024 (i.e., they won’t be lame ducks). We need to figure out a way to hold them accountable for this time period. Maybe create some kind of scorecard - call it the “Turtle Index” - that tracks support of McConnell’s skullduggery, things like questionable judges appointed. These scorecards could be used to encourage donations to fund the war chests of the 2022 and 2024 challengers.
Mar a go go is the “Winter Whitehouse.” It’s too hot there now for golfing mid-day. I think his summer preference is the one NJ.
Bill Barr - worse and even more corrupt than John Mitchell - and that is saying a lot.
Carpenito said he had no idea what was ‘really’ going on; he was told Berman was resigning and nothing else.
Of course, that is ‘his’ story; Clayton also says that he had no idea he set all this into motion. Trump just asked him what would be his ‘dream job’ and he said SDNY. Totally unqualified. But it was his ‘dream job.’
I don’t know if I believe either Carpenito or Clayton but that’s their story and they are sticking to it.
What “I” can’t believe is Barr announcing his resignation without getting his actual resignation first.
I mean, THAT IS SO STUPID IT BURNS.
For some reason Cohen’s lawyer thought he and Cohen were “in negotiation” for the conditions of Cohen’s release and was much surprised when the guys with shakles showed up. Really? One and done, dude.
I don’t disagree that it’s going to be an interesting period between the election and the inauguration, but the damage he can do is going to be limited by the fact that every career employee in government is going to stop responding to all the political hacks after Nov. 3rd.
Well, my view on that is colored somewhat by finding out Kennedy’s SON is the ‘personal’ manager of Trump’s Deutschebank’s account.
His bonus is related to Trump’s fiscal situation.
tiowally I responded the same to hagarwood but you had a LOT more info that I did.
WHEN the Feds get Deutschebank (I thought that was the spelling) to release the records, I also think Kennedy’s son lies in some crosshairs; I won’t be surprised if the bank loses its license to exist in the US.
They have lost at least one maybe two (can’t remember this second) money-laundering cases for cripes’ sake!
I’ve heard (and of course I am NOT a reliable source) that Trump Towers is a dump.
Or was that the White House?
So many tweets, my brain hurts.
Good God.
I have to agree, he has had no impact on the court, no decision of his will ever be quoted (and I know he had a few majority opinions in his name but I can’t remember a one).
GHW Bush put an ‘identity’ candidate on SCOTUS and got really nothing out of it.
Nobody thought he was ‘the best’ and Thomas did not disabuse anybody of that notion.
Nope. In this case, it starts out with the German word for German (“Deutsch”), used as an adjective (i.e. “German Bank”), so “Deutsche”.
Check out their Website:
Unfortunately (or in our case fortunately) the countries without extradition treaties also tend to have very poor health care environments. These fat blubbers are going to need all the medical care they can get.
Rather, I think the medical care tends to be more stratified. If you have the money, care can be excellent, but if you’re a pauper, you’re SOL. So it would come down to how well they could squirrel the money away from efforts by the Feds to freeze their assets.
Trump has kept one promise that I can see. Draining the swamp! Except he has installed one that is far far worse than anyone could imagine! Are the guys who rate world’s nations on corruption taking notice at all?
As for Trump rallying the base, though it may not quite do the job like in 2016, there are still gullible voters out there who will fall for it hook, line and sinker! Just yesterday or today I read that the Republican view of the BLM protests is shifting after Trump’s repeated attacks on the protests.

Item no. 2 is the one I had seen. I assume it’s authentic, particularly since it popped up almost immediately after news broke of why he was silenced, err, taken back into custody.
