Trump's former AG, who was a former custom toilet salesman known as Matt "shitters full" Whitaker, has made a compelling legal argument that committing crimes isn't necessarily a crime. His mark on history is transcending the toilet industry by engineering a 4-wheel-drive commode that shoots .223 rounds, runs on coal and plays 'Eye of the Tiger' when it flushes. The first units were recalled due to a faulty model design -- Whittaker insisted that his engineers design a toilet that "didn't take shit from nobody." The model was later corrected with the design of "The Donkey Straddle 3000."

it’s not a crime unless you yell, “crime!” while you’re doing it. 

or immediately afterwards.

And Trump said no quid pro quo when asking for quid pro quo.

Therefore that negates the crime even if he were to yell ‘crime’ while doing it.

It’s the No Homo doctrine.

Don’t bag on the sack. He never voted for trump. It took the last three years for the sack to realize how great a president he is and that he definitely deserves his vote. 

Just think about the intellect and brain it takes to actually come to that conclusion. 

So....aggie confirmed.

Yesterday somebody on here pointed out that he referred to half of the population as human scum. Today people on Twitter are all up in arms about it. I have to say that level of Trumpiness does not even register with me anymore. I saw the tweet and thought it was the most ordinary thing he done that day.

I saw comments regarding Colorado and the wall yesterday so I went to read the transcript (I think this is accurately a transcript!) of the President's speech at the Shale conference yesterday and folks missed a few gems:

Good ol' Barry....

Quote

And I was with the great football coach, Barry Switzer. I think he might be the only one -- he won in the NFL and he won in college, right? The championship. But Barry is a great guy. Great coach. And he's one of Harold's best friends. And Harold was coming into a meeting, and I was talking to Barry.

DJ is a landlord, too, and he got sued. Matter of fact, DJ is a slumlord:

Quote

In the meantime, you're doing better than you've even done. But I have Cabinet members here. Interior Secretary -- largest landlord in the United States by a factor of about 200 -- David Bernhardt. Where's David? David? Thank you, David. Stand up. What a great job. He's basically the landlord to about half of the United States.

 

Dog whistle:
 

Quote

 

Guy Reschenthaler. Now, if anybody can get elected to Congress with that name, you got to be one hell of a talent.When you can have that name and get elected, I'll tell you what. But he's a warrior. They're all warriors. This group is incredible. I won't say it about every group. Some aren't warriors. But this group is incredible. It's called "Pennsylvania." It's in the genes. It's in the blood. Right? It's in the blood.

 

And then, of course he will not step down....

Quote

Today, I'm proud to declare that I've delivered on every single promise I made to this conference three years ago, and much, much more. Every one. Wow. Look at the great people. Thank you very much. [Laughs] Four more years. Why don't you drive them crazy? Go 16 more years; you'll drive them totally crazy.Sixteen more years. Thank you. Thank you.

And never mind the drinking water or being able to set your tap water on fire:

Quote

And a lot of clean environment because that's what it is. And with Keystone -- same thing. They have everything they need. They need a couple of little extra ones in one or two states, one state in particular, and they'll start. And it's a combination of 48,000 jobs on top of everything else. We cancelled the last administration's so-called Clean Power Plan. Sounds nice, but it wasn't nice. It was a disaster. Which would have cost Americans nearly $40 billion a year and caused electricity prices to soar to double digits, while cutting coal production by almost 250 million tons. We repealed the Interior Department's Stream Protection Rule, which was a disaster.

There's more, but that was enough for now. Oh, and New York, which apparently has rules against pipelines, etc? He wants to abolish all that. He says they are sitting on wealth. He also made reference to making the roads straighter for producers? In context, I took it to mean that producers now have to sometimes make jogs around areas due to easements, property rights, environmental issues, etc. I will have to examine that a little closer.

SIAP but this is where we're headed. 

 

That's funny, many of the vets I know are pissed at Trump and the GOP over Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc.  Even some active-duty folks, although they don't talk about it publicly.  I'm a vet, and I'm not going to hunt down anybody - granted, the closest I came to combat was the local wimmen in Lawton, El Paso, and Juarez, but still.

When people like Rick Wiles say shit like this, it just reaffirms the fact that a whole lot of Republicans have accepted that some bad shit happened with Ukraine and Trump and Rudy, and that they can't defend against that, but they can try and scare everybody else into dropping it.

You were in Lawton? Did you have a Meers' burger during your stay? A long time ago (I was pretty young), they were tasty, but I think they went tourist at some point.

The GOP have accepted that the Administration is a criminal organization, and yes, they will intimidate and bully anyone who does not swear allegiance. It is a different pledge than the one we grew up with.

Yep, if you're talking about the 8 or 9-inch burger.  The "town" was a tourist trap from what I recall, and owned by like one family.

No Homo Contendre, your honor!  

(and to be fair to the President, 'Colorado' when said with the right accent does sound pretty Mexican.  Plus, somebody may have told him it means "colored", which is bad---so he immediately proposed a wall around Colorado.  See y'all are playing checkers, he's playing chess---the wall ain't to keep people out..it's to keep the coloreds of colorado IN.)

Jexodus is not going so well (SIAP).  The extreme right and extreme left will never understand why their shared stereotypes of Jews don't line up with reality.

 

Jexodus update:   Now up to 76% disapproval for Trump.  Only 14% of Jews identify as Republicans.  Turns out Icono didn't have his finger on the pulse of Jewish Americans.

Oh, and also, note the threats of violence if [checks notes] Congress dares use a process that is actually expressly provided for in the Constitution to remove a corrupt and criminal executive.  The threat is quite simply this: if you dare employ the rule of law to do something that I don't like, I will commit acts of murderous violence against you.

And notice that the GOP surrogates and mouthpieces out there are starting to openly say this shit, and make their threats real clear.  Again, we have a political movement that is making systematic terroristic threats of murder if they don't get their way politically.  "terrorist organization," anyone? 

They won't do shit - the time for that was long ago, before this all came out and impeachment started.    Before, or immediately after, they lost the House last year.

The train has left the station for them, and all they have left is convincing themselves that bumrushing the testimony of some Pentagon official is a magnificent act of bravery, when all it did was reveal how insecure they are in themselves and their President.  

These are not alpha males ready to fight for Trump, these are fucking cowards who got cucked in November of 2018, and who are watching their tenuous grasp on power slipping even further away from them, and they are watching Trump help sink them even farther.

They can't defend what Trump and Rudy and Co. did, so they attack the process.  

These are not people who are confident in themselves or their leader.

Only in America does an all out war on labor unions result in the MLB umpires and the cops emerging from the ashes as virtually untouchable. Sad! 

 

Maybe they should fire him, the umpires go on strike, World Series gets cancelled.

After what I saw last night, that might be a good thing.

I hadn't watched a MLB game in years but spouse had an event, kids were busy and so put the game on when I saw it was at 2-2. Sat down and all heck broke loose. I know those baseball people are superstitious so I am not watching any more games. Hth.

What could possibly go wrong.

 

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/white-house-guts-infosec-team-posturing-itself-to-be-compromised-again/

 

Quote

An internal White House memo published today by Axios reveals that recent changes to the information operations and security organizations there have left the security team in tumult, with many members headed for the door. And the chief of the White House's computer network defense branch—who wrote the memo after submitting his resignation—warned that the White House was likely headed toward another network compromise and theft of data.

 

 

Quote

The White House Office of the Chief Information Security Officer was set up after the 2014 breach of an unclassified White House network by Russian intelligence—a breach discovered by a friendly foreign government. But in a July reorganization, the OCISO was dissolved and its duties placed under the White House Office of the Chief Information Officer, led by CIO Ben Pauwels and Director of White House IT Roger L. Stone. Stone was pulled from the ranks of the National Security Council where he was deputy senior director for resilience policy. (Stone is not related to indicted Republican political consultant Roger J. Stone.)

 

Quote

The resulting changes have put an emphasis more on convenience than security. The Office of Administration at the White House has reportedly been purging information security staffers while responsibility for cybersecurity is outsourced from the streamlined IT operations team. In August, White House CISO Joe Schatz left the White House for a tech consulting job. And according to the memo, senior security experts have been leaving en masse since then as the White House has become increasingly hostile to the information security team.

 

Spoiler

"It is my express opinion that the remaining incumbent OCISO staff is being systematically targeted for removal from the Office of Administration," departing White House network defense branch chief Dimitrios Vastakis wrote in the memo. The security team had seen incentive pay revoked, scope of duties cut, and access to systems and facilities reduced, Vastakis noted. Staffers' "positions with strategic and tactical decision making authorities" had also been revoked. "In addition, habitually being hostile to incumbent OCISO staff has become a staple tactic for the new leadership... it has forced the majority of [senior civil servant] OCISO staff to resign."

Vastakis warned that the transferral of virtually all of the White House's cybersecurity operations to the White House Communications Agency—a Defense Department organization that falls under the Defense Information Systems Agency—was in "direct conflict" with the advice of the Office of Administration's general counsel. He added that it also puts information required to be preserved by the Presidential Records Act outside of the Executive Office of the President's oversight.

"Considering the level of network access and privileged capabilities that cybersecurity staff had," Vastakis wrote, "it is highly concerning that the entire cybersecurity apparatus is being handed over to non-PRA entities."

In closing, Vastakis warned, "Allowing for a large portion of institutional knowledge to concurrently walk right out the front door seems contrary to the best interests of the mission and the organization as a whole." And reflecting on the previous vulnerabilities in White House IT operations, he noted, "given all the changes I've seen in the last three months, I foresee the White House is posturing itself to be electronically compromised once again."

The premise of that piece is so dumb.

All of this is going to be made public. There are going to be pubic hearings. There is going to be a public trial in the Senate.

kind of weird how all foreign policy actions this administration takes seems to benefit Russia while weakening our international ability to influence 

Looks like Putin is coloring up his chips at the blackjack table and getting out Biff's casino before it files for chapter 11.

This was mentioned before.  It's yet another give away to Russian in exchange for...?  

It's one of a series of disastrous moves.

In exchange for not getting the Global Magnitsky Act repealed or the Russian sanctions curtailed or eliminated.  He's playing around the edges.

won't pay cities for police protection, happily charges police for coffee:

Quote

President Donald Trump's golf resort in Ireland slapped extra security hired during his June visit with a bill of over $100,000.

A newly surfaced copy of the bill sent by the resort to law enforcement working overtime shows questionable charges including $975 for extra coffee and over $15,000 for snacks.
