Meaning of “Basta”?
It's Italian for "enough".
And it's getting weirder. Apparently, Cohen's attorney filed a request to have any documents pertaining to discussions about several women who claimed to have been assaulted by Schneiderman protected since the women are not yet publically known.
Trump tweeted this:
Which of course, pretty damn accurate. But he knew in 2013?!
Quote from the article.
"
“Whatever lobbying was done didn’t reach the president,” Giuliani said, offering as proof the fact that AT&T’s proposed merger with Time-Warner has not gone through. “He did drain the swamp ... The president denied the merger. They didn’t get the result they wanted.”

Its like Guliani has that curse that Jim Carey's character did in Liar Liar.
Black activist jailed for his Facebook posts speaks out about secret FBI surveillance
Rakem Balogun thought he was dreaming when armed agents in tactical gear stormed his apartment. Startled awake by a large crash and officers screaming commands, he soon realized his nightmare was real, and he and his 15-year-old son were forced outside of their Dallas home, wearing only underwear.
Handcuffed and shaking in the cold wind, Balogun thought a misunderstanding must have led the FBI to his door on 12 December 2017. The father of three said he was shocked to later learn that agents investigating “domestic terrorism” had been monitoring him for years and were arresting him that day in part because of his Facebook posts criticizing police.
“It’s tyranny at its finest,” said Balogun, 34. “I have not been doing anything illegal for them to have surveillance on me. I have not hurt anyone or threatened anyone.”
Balogun spoke to the Guardian this week in his first interview since he was released from prison after five months locked up and denied bail while US attorneys tried and failed to prosecute him, accusing him of being a threat to law enforcement and an illegal gun owner.
Balogun, who lost his home and more while incarcerated, is believed to be the first person targeted and prosecuted under a secretive US surveillance effort to track so-called “black identity extremists”. In a leaked August 2017 report from the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism Analysis Unit, officials claimed that there had been a “resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity” stemming from African Americans’ “perceptions of police brutality”.
Much more f***ery at the link.

The FBI is so much cooler on tv shows than what you get in real life.

Great. Now trump and his base will use it as ammo to show how corrupt the fbi is.
No, they will probably say that this is what they should be doing inn the first place and if they weren't so distracted with witch hunts they would have gotten the conviction.
WTF

Ice Cube, the rapper and actor, and his business partner Jeff Kwatinetz recently filed a $1.2 billion lawsuit that includes an allegation that Al-Rumaihi and other Qatari officials attempted use an investment in the men’s BIG3 basketball league to gain access to Trump administration officials. “Mr Al-Rumaihi requested I set up a meeting between him, the Qatari government, and Stephen Bannon, and to tell Steve Bannon that Qatar would underwrite all of his political efforts in return for his support,” Kwatinetz said in the court filing. Kwatinetz says he rejected the offer, which he viewed as bribe.
In response, Kwatinetz claims, “Al-Rumaihi laughed and then stated to me that I shouldn’t be naive, that so many Washington politicians take our money, and stated ‘do you think Flynn turned down our money?’” That’s a reference to Michael Flynn, who was fired as Trump’s national security adviser after lying about his contacts with then Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak

Yea when Trump had people go to Trump Tower to congratulate him there were cameras fixed on that hallway. So now that looks like it may bite him, wanting to show who was coming to see him.
This guy was also captured. Totally not odd at all.

Who could have possibly predicted that moving the US embassy to Jerusalem would cause violence and death?

I think the only reason we are allies with them anymore is to please the religious fanatics in our country, hell a lot of the bad feelings from people in the Middle East towards the west comes from our various governments loyalty to Israel.
Some of the largest pro-Israel groups in the US are actually christian bible thumpers.

They want to make their pilgrimage to the Holy Land and they will tolerate Abraham there but Muhammad? No, that just won't do at all.
It makes their pilgrimage a ton easier if Israel can shoot a few dozen muslims along the way.
