Mueller's former assistant says grammatical errors prove leaked questions came from Trump “Because of the way these questions are written ... lawyers wouldn’t write questions this way, in my estimation. Some of the grammar is not even proper," he continued. "So, I don’t see this as a list of written questions that Mueller’s office gave to the president. I think these are more notes that the White House has taken and then they have expanded upon the conversation to write out these as questions.” [/url]http://thehill.com/homenews/news/385602-muellers-former-assistant-says-grammatical-errors-prove-leaked-questions-came[url] The backroom boys from Breitbart that work for trump don't use Windows software. They use the Kaspersky Labs "OKHO" . Which of course doesn't mean hos(prostitutes) are OK. OKHO means windows in Russian. That's why the grammar and spelling are so bad.

I sense a virtual signal of micro-aggression here. I am going to call my pastor for consolation. Then I am going to spend a long time in my safe place. That is the room where I keep my black rifles and ammo. Hey thaaaats too funny! When I get together with my gun friends and the black rifles come out to play. We go to the range and set up the dueling trees at 200 yards. After a couple 00 rounds this always comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwqHarJnQP8 Because a peaceful easy feeling arises as they never let me down. See we have allot in common.

This guy is more and more becoming Better Call Saul. Better Call Cohen: The Shady Cases of a Trump Lawyer's Personal Injury Practice https://www.rollingstone.com/shady-cases-michael-cohen-personal-injury-practice-w519679 Seriously, when the going gets tough you don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a "CRIM-IN-AL" lawyer... Oh everyone associated with trump and Cohen already know that! The Company Michael Cohen Kept — “Trump, Inc.” Podcast Long before Donald Trump’s attorney paid Stormy Daniels or had his office raided by the FBI, a pattern was established: The associates of Michael Cohen have often been disciplined, disbarred, accused or convicted of crimes. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-inc-podcast-michael-cohen The above story tracks Cohen's history in law. From his first joh where: "and landed a job working for a personal injury attorney named Melvyn Estrin, who had an office on lower Broadway in Manhattan. Estrin was the first in a series of colleagues who would run afoul of authorities. Within three years of Cohen’s arrival, Estrin was charged with bribing insurance adjusters to inflate damage estimates and expedite claims. He later pleaded guilty. Cohen was never implicated in any of the misdeeds. Estrin did not respond to a request for comment. He is still practicing law.... Cohen added several new addresses during this period, including 22-05 43rd Ave., in Long Island City, Queens — the taxi garage. It was the headquarters of the New York branch of the empire of Simon Garber, a Soviet emigre.... Garber has been convicted of assault in New York, arrested for battery in Miami and pleaded guilty in New Jersey to charges of criminal mischief involving him breaking into three neighbors’ homes, shattering glass doors, smearing blood all over and taking a shower. In Chicago, his taxi fleet included wrecked vehicles with illegally laundered titles." Those were Cohen's first business partners. So with trump nothing has changed over the decade of FULL TIME work for the trump organization. Insurance scams, Russian mobsters, all just part and parcel of DJT's world. Authored by: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProPublica Perhaps the bloody horse head idea for a mob movie originated with the trump organization?

I can’t even with the irony right here. Here’s the thing, his was an rhetorical response to Nolhtairt’s anti-liberal generalisation. It wasn’t a suggestion that all or most Trump supporters like the KKK. That was neither explicit nor implicit in the statement, even without the tongue in cheek. But just look at how you jumped on it to tar everyone from his half of the country with the same brush, and so further your divisive agenda, and work another step forward to the broken nation you so desire. Everyone generalizes. I do it sometimes to foster debate(...and stir the pot...). I quote the Christian Science Monitor from time to time. Because its mainstream opinions run contrary to the Evangelical Christian hypocrisy of trump support. The authorship of those editorials, of course, being the only thing US mainstream Christian. The rest of Christianity looks upon the polarization of US politics and its religious co-existence. It wonders if salvation is possible? Certainly the Pope has condemned it on several occasions. https://www.gq.com/story/pope-francis-donald-trump Catholic leaders condemn Trump remarks about Haiti, Africa https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2018/01/12/catholic-leaders-condemn-trump-remarks-about-haiti-africa Above from the Jesuit periodical. It contrasts with the Falwell/Robertson, the Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity movement of trash talking, liberal bashing US mainstream republican "leaders". They are not leaders of course. But because trump takes his populist ques from the aforementioned sources.It now defines it. Republicans used to take their ques from the likes of Edmund Burke, Leo Strauss, Robert Nisbet and William F. Buckley Jr. But now republicans have turned into the Burger King party. Use the likes of Breitbart to pen a derogatory slogan for a person or idea. Get Hannity, Fox and Friends to repeat it, often. Then trump will adopt it and it becomes the new law of republican ideology. An noninclusive, hateful, non-christian party. That labels anyone who has different conservative ideas, as the enemy. The press who reports on the lies contained in this agenda as the enemy. It gathers up the rest of America and puts them in the same basket. The basket of deplorables, of the enemy.

Mostly foreigners and American liberals who look down at America. Er... American patriots who want to create a dynamic, educated, economy where the rule of law applies equally. Where a healthy workforce, a functioning infrastructure, a fair tax regime, all operate to overcome a xenophobic fascist. Who temporary drove the state into a swamp. One where the people all came together to pull together on the same rope. To pull the state from the swamp. Leaving the driver and his navigators. Forever buried in the swamp. Which was then named "The trump swamp"

$228,000 is the amount that the trump presidential campaign spent to defend Cohen over a three month period. From Oct., 2017-Jan.2018. Presumably, to defend Cohen from Russia allegations. Oh well, the donations come from his supporters so must be money well spent. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/385514-trump-campaign-covered-some-of-cohens-legal-costs-report

Gotta love it when posts contain irrelevant information that serves only to reveal the biases of the poster. Yup, might as well have said "three scary boogeymen". And I'd like to see a link to that story. Google turns up nothing. Did it come from a gun rights site or something? Below is a good story on how gun sites, right wing sites, twitter, etc. spread disinformation or news with an agenda. If there was a name for one of the "Blacks" a seach would show up maximum exposure on gunsites like AR-15.com, Calguns, Breitbart, etc. https://www.wired.com/story/pro-gun-russian-bots-flood-twitter-after-parkland-shooting/

IOOW (in other, other words), they didn't really look all that hard and didn't find anything. When someone who is looking hard finds something, all the Trumpettes are going to point to that and say the evidence is all made up. Or you don't let the fox guard the henhouse. If ever there was a GREAT argument for a free press. For check after check on the power of the state. This would be it. Hopefully an author will pen a book about the lack of consideration to duties of elected officials. About how honest Abe became lying trump. All because of populism, xenophobia and the abandonment of real republican ideals.

Now that isn't always true; He sometimes uses VX. And we have no idea what's going on that might pressure him to do this. Are the Chinese coming down on him? Has Gloria Allred threatened to represent the women around him? Personally, I don't see where honorable fits into it or needs to. I wouldn't call the East Berlin leaders honorable but The Wall came down anyway. Talk for politicians is always cheap. Especially when they walk back the talk and Kim walks it back even more than trump. Or at least his father did.

Evidently there are still pockets of America where Fox news is not broadcast. Evidently some trumpateers still believe the lies. Fox News Poll: Mueller likely to find Trump offenses, Trump likely to fire him "Most voters think it is important to continue investigating whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia -- but more believe President Trump will fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller before he’s done. About two-thirds, 67 percent in the latest Fox News poll, say it is at least somewhat important the investigation continues, and 56 percent think it’s likely that Mueller’s probe will find Donald Trump committed criminal or impeachable offenses. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04/25/fox-news-poll-mueller-likely-to-find-trump-offenses-trump-likely-to-fire-him.html and for the believers: "One can fool some men, or fool all men in some places and times, but one cannot fool all men in all places and ages." https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/12/11/cannot-fool/

Ex-CIA chief: 'Highly partisan' House Intel report means nothing Former CIA Director John Brennan slammed the House Intelligence Committee’s final report on their Russia investigation, calling it “highly partisan” and that it “means nothing.” “A highly partisan, incomplete, and deeply flawed report by a broken House Committee means nothing,” Brennan tweeted. The Special Counsel’s work is being carried out by professional investigators—not political staffers. SC’s findings will be comprehensive & authoritative. Stay tuned, Mr. Trump….” http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/385185-ex-cia-chief-highly-partisan-house-intel-report-means-nothing

“The mob takes the Fifth. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” - Trump, September 2016 ""This has nothing to do with me," Trump said during an interview on “Fox and Friends.” “I’ve been told I’m not involved.”... "I don't his know business … I have nothing to do with his business,” the president said. Trump said Cohen handled just a "tiny, tiny fraction" of his legal work." http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/384969-trump-on-cohen-nothing-to-do-with-me At 15.27 of this mornings rant on Fox trump admits that Cohen represent him in dealing with Stormy Daniels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lu_Hgw60Ns Remember, if you heard it on Fox, if must be true.

Trolling for the NRA much. Or just a stooge for Breitbart? "That’s almost as catchy as “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” The problem is: The 2 million figure — often inflated to 2.5 million in N.R.A. literature — is bogus. Defensive gun use is actually quite rare. A new paper from the Violence Policy Center... You dismiss (correctly) a report on Breitbart, but post an anti gun piece from VPC and expect it to be taken at face value? Please. Sure: http://www.politifact.com/georgia/statements/2014/nov/19/violence-policy-center/study-correct-georgias-gender-based-murder-rate/ https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=10167 http://www.politifact.com/personalities/violence-policy-center/ The question is not about the CDC quashing a study. Since they have been expressly prohibited from doing so by a NRA sponsored bill. "In United States politics, the Dickey Amendment is a provision first inserted as a rider into the 1996 federal government omnibus spending bill which mandated that "none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may be used to advocate or promote gun control."[1] In the same spending bill, Congress earmarked $2.6 million from the CDC's budget, the exact amount that had previously been allocated to the agency for firearms research the previous year, for traumatic brain injury-related research.[2] The amendment was lobbied for by the NRA. The amendment is named after its author Jay Dickey, a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Arkansas.[2] Many commentators have described this amendment as a "ban" on gun violence research by the CDC.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment Congress Quashed Research Into Gun Violence. Since Then, 600,000 People Have Been Shot. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/12/health/gun-violence-research-cdc.html Congress then passed the Dickey Amendment in 1996, and cut funding that effectively ended the C.D.C.’s study of gun violence as a public health issue. The result is that 22 years and more than 600,000 gunshot victims later, much of the federal government has largely abandoned efforts to learn why people shoot one another, or themselves, and what can be done to prevent gun violence. After the Parkland school massacre in Florida last month, lawmakers and gun control experts have demanded that the agency take up the issue of studying gun violence again, arguing that the federal law doesn’t ban such research altogether but prohibits advocacy of gun control." So in fact the NRA, Breitbart, Rushmc, et al. are the ones that quashed studies for 20 years. Using a NRA, republican bill banning scientific study into gun violence. Standard Fox News, trump tactics lie, make counter accusations. Compared to the UK that would be 500,000 more dead Americans. For which the Dickey amendment has kept the CDC quiet on.

Trump's personal lawyer names mystery client: Sean Hannity
Phil1111 replied to skymiles's topic in Speakers Corner
Sean Hannity linked to shell companies that spent $90M on property: report ... Secretary Ben Carson’s department recently increased Hannity’s original $17.9 million mortgage for purchases in Georgia by an additional $5 million, records obtained by the Guardian show. Hannity did not disclose his cooperation with HUD when he had Carson on his show last June, the Guardian noted.... Hannity also never disclosed that he was also a client of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, during any of his segments complaining about the FBI investigation into Cohen. ... The shell companies are registered to the offices of Henssler Financial, a wealth management firm. Hannity has had one of the firm’s principals, Bill Lako, appear on his radio show. Hannity did disclose that he was Henssler’s client and joked that the company took him on as a “charity case.”... The host, however, has criticized former President Obama in the past for the rate of US foreclosures, saying in 2016 there were “millions more Americans suffering under this president.” Several of Hannity’s properties were bought at a discount after their previous owners defaulted on their mortgages in 2013, the Guardian reported." http://thehill.com/homenews/media/384366-sean-hannity-linked-to-shell-companies-that-have-spent-90m-on-property-report -
Trolling for the NRA much. Or just a stooge for Breitbart? "That’s almost as catchy as “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” The problem is: The 2 million figure — often inflated to 2.5 million in N.R.A. literature — is bogus. Defensive gun use is actually quite rare. A new paper from the Violence Policy Center states that “for the five-year period 2007 through 2011, the total number of self-protective behaviors involving a firearm by victims of attempted or completed violent crimes or property crimes totaled only 338,700.” That comes to an annual average of 67,740 — not nothing, but nowhere near the N.R.A.’s 2 million or 2.5 million. Readers can judge for themselves whether the V.P.C. or the N.R.A. is likely to have better numbers. The V.P.C. used data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The N.R.A.’s estimate is the result of a telephone survey conducted by a Florida State University criminologist. The V.P.C. also found that in 2010 “there were only 230 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen using a firearm” reported to the F.B.I.’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Compare that with the number of criminal gun homicides in the same year: 8,275. (That’s not counting gun suicides or unintentional shootings.) Or compare it with the number of Americans killed by guns since Newtown: 3,458. https://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/15/defensive-gun-use/ "That's in a nation in which there are some 300 million firearms, nearly one for every person (though only a little over a third of Americans own guns — and there's an interesting take on that here, and on the ramifications of gun ownership on murder rates here, and while you're reading links, this is of interest, too). This is also a nation in which, in 2012, there were 1.2 million violent crimes, defined as murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Or, put another way, 1.2 million scenarios in which there was potential for someone to kill in self-defense. Oh, and match those 259 justifiable homicides with the theft of about 232,000 guns each year, about 172,000 of them during burglaries. That's a ratio of one justifiable homicide for every 896 guns put in the hands of criminals. Those 259 justifiable homicides also pale compared with, in the same year, 8,342 criminal homicides using guns, 20,666 suicides with guns, and 548 fatal unintentional shootings, according to the FBI's Supplemental Homicide Report. The ratio for 2012, per the Violence Policy Center, was one justifiable killing for every 32 murders, suicides or accidental deaths (the ratio increases to 38-1 over the five-year period ending in 2012). That's a heavy price to pay. The center also dives into the thorny thicket of how often the presence of a gun stops a crime — either violent or against property, such as a burglary — from happening. The gun lobby trots out an annual figure of 2.5 million such instances. But an analysis of five years' worth of stats collected by the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey puts the number much, much lower — about 67,740 times a year. It's also useful, as the Violence Policy Center does, to dig into the relationships among the attackers and those who kill in self-defense. Over the five-year span ending in 2012, more than half — 56% — of the justifiable homicides involved strangers, and in 11% of the cases, the relationship was not reported. The rest were acquaintances (18.7%) such as neighbors and coworkers, and then a mishmash of relatives and personal relationships." http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-guns-self-defense-charleston-20150619-story.html So Breitbart has taken the invented number from the NRA of 2.5 million. Used a barefaced lie as the foundation of a story. _________________________________________________ CDC Now Has Authority To Research Gun Violence. What's Next? March 25, 20188:36 AM ET "For almost 20 years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been avoiding gun violence research. But new language in the spending bill signed by President Trump on Friday could change that. Dr. Mark Rosenberg once oversaw gun violence research at the CDC." https://www.npr.org/2018/03/25/596805354/cdc-now-has-authority-to-research-gun-violence-whats-next _____________________________________________________

Ben Shapiro (1984–) is one of the youngest and (along with Bill Still) most visible conservatives outside mainstream media. He is a pseudo-intellectual, if we have to pick a movement conservative who doesn't moonlight as a "comedian" like Steven Crowder, or an exhibitionist like Milo. He has also written several books, including a "Post-Obama thriller" called True Allegiance. Shapiro identifies as Jewish. Ben earned his spurs as a writer for Townhall and WND, but is better-known for his close association with Andrew Breitbart—even becoming an editor (and then Editor-At-Large) for Breitbart.com. He acrimoniously resigned after Breitbart.com refused to defend one of their own reporters after she accused Corey Lewandowski (then Trump's campaign manager) of forcefully manhandling her. Since then, Shapiro has been a frequent (and pointed) critic of Steve Bannon and the alt-right movement.[2] He is perhaps best known, however, for his outspoken, direct, pseudo-intellectual, and almost entirely inaccurate criticisms of "left-wing" concepts such as white privilege and toxic masculinity. He hosts his own podcast, the Ben Shapiro Show, which can be viewed on the YouTube channel of his website the Daily Wire https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ben_Shapiro VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-daily-wire/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Above is all you need to know about this nutjob.
