Your Once and Final Supreme Double Impeachee

Looks like Cohen is warming his pipes up to save his ass.

Michael Cohen attorney Lanny Davis: "Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows, not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election which the Trump Tower meeting was all about, but also knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on."

LOL, citing rabid RussiaRussiaRussia screecher Rachel Maddow. Wake me when something factual beyond tawdry sexcapades turns up. So far it all looks like a McCarthyite witchhunt by the intel establishment and serial entrapment artist Mueller to overturn the results of the 2016 election and get themselves a more compliant POTUS.

Nice attempt to flip the script re. the Trump Tower meeting in the above, though - in place of very clear lying-to-the-FISA-court w.r.to the origins and people behind the toxic Steele dossier in order to illegally spy on a presidential campaign, we have more wild allegations about "obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election which the Trump Tower meeting was all about".

But miilions of loyal MSM-propagandized Dem tribalists are fully invested in conjuring up something, anything, to continue avoiding coming to grips with "Hillary lost because she was a hugely incompetent campaigner, her fabled 'experience' consisted of riding her hubby's coattails first into a law career and later into a senate position, whoring for Wall Street (just as her hubby had) and committing/overseeing war crimes (Syria, Libya) and bungled CIA weapons-smuggling ops (Benghazi) as SoS." But it was Ras-Putin who forced her to blow off campaigning amongst the deplorables of Rust Belt, where the key county-level vote flips relative to 2012 occurred which tipped the election to Trump, right? And the Dems rigging their own primary process to place HRC atop the ticket is not in way collusion and conspiracy to subvert the electoral process - gotcha.

But, whatever - not as if the 'good and great' USofA has resembled any kind of 'government of/by/for the people' in a very long time. An actual coup by the Deep Staters would at least serve to make that clear beyond any doubt.

It has been years since I last saw Maddow on her show. I tried to watch, but cut out at the start of the interview. My partner, Dan, calls both MSNBC and Fox "The Fifteen minute hate."

I pretty successfully disconnected on our recent trip. I have been trying to limit re-engagement.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/...183403656.html

Also, you recently cited the website SGTReport, which has the following as its current top blurb: "Child sex trafficking and satanic ritual abuse survivor and whistle blower Fiona Barnett joins me to discuss the plague upon the earth that is being exposed and that MUST be brought to an end. Fiona, a former child victim of very powerful people is not afraid to name the names of those she alleges abused her as a child. And according to Fiona, the CIA and the British Crown control most of the human trafficking activities around the world."

As well as posting something from Stefan Molyneux, who is a proponent of White Genocide Theory.

So maybe don't go mocking too hard.

Sorry, Wombatman. I should have qualified that I watch very little TV, except documentaries and nature shows. I am not exposed to those every night, either. I prefer to read news online, and tend to avoid many videos.

I suppose my tolerance is fairly low on these accounts. I was not reacting entirely to the content, but rather to a tone I found abrasive.

I hope you will continue to post as you see fit. I value your posts and your discussions of things.

You're fine. I was cranky this morning and ran out of time to edit.

Been there, done that. I snapped at a co-worker who startled me today.

The CFO, Allen Weisselberg, has worked handling accounting and other money-related tasks within the Trump organization for about 40 years, apparently. Should be interesting to see what he has to say that is getting him immunity.

Just to offset all the gloom this thread generates:

If Trump shot Michael Cohen in broad daylight, here's what Republicans would say

We Are Being Played -By Caitlin Johnstone

I believe that a senior Trump administration official probably did write that anonymous op-ed. I do not believe that they were moved to write it out of compassion for the poor Americans who are feeling emotionally stressed about the president. I believe it was written and published for the same reason many other things are written and published in mainstream media: because we are all being played.

Johnstone not only delves into fascinating topics, with a POV similar to my own; she does this with a style I find utterly engaging.
