you should read up on maritime flags.  

Either I'm forgetting my Navy training or that's the ensign flag, and thus should be the US flag if it's a US boat. 

Although I can't see it clearly, that looks like the ensign for British civilian craft.  What am I missing?

Occupy Lafayette Park still going strong close to two weeks later with 100k raised. Link has a few videos dancing dinosaur included. Thought I noticed a low energy Donald. Maybe lack of sleep due to noise or Mueller nightmares who knows.

Has Avenatti failed to deliver on his promises yet? Any guess who the 3 new payees are?

"Stormy Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, said Thursday night that he’s representing three more women who claim they were paid for their silence by President Trump’s team.

Avenatti, speaking at a panel in West Hollywood, told the audience that the women — one of whom says she was pregnant at the time — were paid off by Trump, AMI Entertainment and Michael Cohen, the President’s personal attorney, according to KABC."

Christ almighty this fucking guy:

On Friday, President Donald Trump, who answered no questions from the press at an earlier speech on the economy at the White House, made a surprise appearance on Sean Hannity‘s radio show to tout the economy and declare that with the help of trade deficit cuts, the GDP may soon see 8 or 9 percent growth.

Trump started out by saying that the economy was “far ahead of what anybody thought” except of course himself, who has known all along.

Then, he said this about how much greater the American economy was bound to get as long as trade deficits are cut in half:

“We’re doing great.  We could do a lot better,  the fact is that if I can cut the trade deficit from $817 billion, think of that, we have a trade deficit with other countries — that’s trading with other countries, 817 billion —  if I cut it in half, right there, we’ll pick up 3 to 4 points, so you could add that to the 4 of 5 and so we’d be at 8 or 9. Now, I don’t want to say that too much and I didn’t want to say too much during the campaign because I would have been criticized,  people wouldn’t have believed it… But now they’re starting to believe.”

Yep.  We're going to pick up $400 billion in trade, easy-peasy.

Mark it down, folks.  8-9% growth predicted -- folks are staring to believe!

Yep.  Totally normal behavior.

Quote

President Trump has sought repeatedly to punish journalists for the way they ask him questions, directing White House staff to ban those reporters from covering official events or to revoke their press credentials, according to several current and former administration officials.

At various moments throughout his presidency, Trump has vented angrily to aides about what he considers disrespectful behavior and impertinent questions from reporters in the Oval Office and in other venues. He has also asked that retaliatory action be taken against them.

“These people shouting questions are the worst,” Trump has said, according to a current official. “Why do we have them in here?”

Until this week, the officials said, Trump’s senior aides have resisted carrying out his directives. They convinced him that moves to restrict media access could backfire and further strain the White House’s fraught relationship with the press corps, whose members the president routinely derides as “fake news” and “dishonest people.”

On Wednesday, however, newly installed Deputy Chief of Staff Bill Shine and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took action against CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins, telling her she could not attend Trump’s open-media event in the Rose Garden because they objected to her questioning of the president earlier in the day.

The move revealed a fresh willingness inside the West Wing to execute the president’s wishes to punish reporters. It immediately drew a chorus of protest throughout the media, including from Fox News Channel, Trump’s favorite network and Shine’s former employer.

Quote

Sanders defended the administration’s approach to the press.

“President Trump is the most accessible president in modern history,” she said Friday. “He has done almost three times as many question-and-answer sessions with reporters as his predecessor, and we continue to provide access to the press in a number of venues and formats every day.”

 

Quote

Among those who have angered Trump are reporters from CNN, NBC News and The Post, officials said. Two reporters in particular have drawn the president’s ire on multiple occasions: Jim Acosta, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, and April Ryan, Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks and a CNN contributor.

Trump’s irritation has flared the most when he has been peppered with questions from reporters on formal occasions, such as Rose Garden announcements, or during what are known as press pool sprays, when a handful of journalists representing the White House press corps covers meetings or events in the Oval Office, Cabinet Room or Roosevelt Room. He also has taken issue with the questions posed to Sanders and other officials at White House press briefings.

Behind closed doors, Trump often has vented about these types of encounters. He has asked, “Is there nothing that we could do?” according to a former White House official.

Trump has told aides to revoke credentials, deny access to upcoming events or contemplate other punishments, but it was not always clear to them whether he was issuing an order or merely letting off steam.

In past instances, top advisers, including Sanders and former communications director Hope Hicks, would try to talk Trump out of taking action, according to officials with knowledge of the conversations. They argued that doing so would only give more attention to the questions he did not like and suggested that if he did not want to answer those questions, he should simply ignore them.

Furthermore, aides warned Trump that the press corps, made up of scores of news organizations with competing interests, would band together in protest.

Sanders and Hicks declined to comment about their interactions with the president.

Gary Kasparov nailed this shit in some recent tweets. The gist: Putin knows his asset’s value is shrinking and he’s trying to milk any/every concession or benefit possible before Trump is devoured by Mueller and the midterms.

The timing of the Russia visit will be awesome.  Right when It’s MuellerTime this fuckface will make his Russia visit - to seek political asylum.  At that point I’ll take a butter knife to my eyeball and go digging for the malfunctioning SIM chip.

"I know there's trouble in this country and we need a guy who can fix that trouble," Letterman told the Associated Press in an interview published this week. "I wish it was Trump, but it's not, so let's just stop whining about what a goon he is and figure out a way to take him aside and put him in a home."

OK, I'm no psychiatrist, but that's telling.  He shows some of the same characteristics you see now, but in general he is far more astute and genial. 

I think the man is literally going nuts.  Dementia, Alzheimer's, syphilis whatever, he is not anywhere near as sharp a few years down the road.  This man needs to be removed from office.

I had that thought listening to the Cohen tapes, which are just two years old.  He was much more coherent there.  Listen to any interview he had from the 90's and it's even more striking.

Currently on CNN. My favorite was when the Casino Commission shut down 1/3 of his slot machine on opening day of the Taj Mahal because stuff hadn’t been completed. Trump said the machines broke because “the machines were so hot, nobody’s seen people play that hard that fast we had machines virtually on fire.”

He’s always had narcissistic personality disorder.  Now he’s mixing in dementia.  If this were your grandpa, you’d commit him to the lockdown unit in a nursing home.  Instead we’re letting this fuck steer us off a cliff.
