Says the guy who refuses to answer questions and the evidence shows is the most dishonest politician to run for the office in the modern day.
 
Funny, seems all of these republicans care more about the FBI doing something lawful to cohen, but don't bat an eye at the recent police killings of unarmed black men.

Last night there was a message that some dips*** on my friend's list used an app that had data for Cambridge Analytica. Please let me know the person so I can unfriend them.
 
One of Trump's very fine people:

Suspected White Supremacist Died Building ISIS-Style Bombs

Friends and family say Ben Morrow was a Bible-toting lab worker. Investigators say he was a bomb-building white supremacist.

Benjamin Morrow was found dead with white supremacist literature and the ingredients for a notorious bomb known as the “Mother of Satan.”

Morrow, 28, died in an explosion in the kitchen of his Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, apartment on March 5. His home was filled with bomb-making substances so volatile that firefighters chose to destroy the 16-unit apartment block in a controlled blaze, rather than let Morrow’s neighbors continue to live in the building. A search warrant unsealed last week revealed that Morrow kept white supremacist literature in his home.

Beaver Dam police said the white supremacist literature didn’t necessarily mean Morrow was a white supremacist.
“It does cause me some concern but I want to make very clear just because Mr. Morrow was in the possession of this material, does not categorize in any particular light,” Lt. Terrence Gebhardt told CBS 58. “He could have been an individual that was doing research.”

Members of Morrow’s church community have pushed back on the idea that Morrow built the bombs in his bedroom and kitchen, for which investigators found handwritten instructions.
“I’d love to defend Ben because he has been described as a bomb maker and he’s not a bomb maker,” Rev. Jerry Marsden, the pastor who conducted Morrow’s funeral told the Associated Press. “He wasn’t a recluse as some have said he is. He was far from that.”

Interesting on the bolded parts. I'm sure a normal person has random white supremacist materials lying around while also making bombs and having a bunch of guns. And that he's also not a bomb maker never mind the fact he died making bombs.
 
He was just making a bomb for a friend...

I don't even what to know what is so nasty that the fire department just says f* it and burn the place down.
 
Get your popcorn ready

‘Unprompted, and in another zag in the conversation, (Trump) brought up what he called the “golden showers thing,” repeating much of what he had said to me previously, adding that it bothered him if there was “even a one percent chance” his wife, Melania, thought it was true. That distracted me slightly because I immediately began wondering why his wife would think there was any chance, even a small one, that he had been with prostitutes urinating on each other in Moscow.’

- Comey writes that Trump said he was thinking about asking the FBI to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. Comey expressed concern about creating a narrative that the president was being investigated personally and that it was difficult to prove something never happened. Trump said he would think about it and asked Comey to consider it too.

‘He then returned to the issue of loyalty, saying again, “I need loyalty.” I paused, again. “You will always get honesty from me,” I said. He paused. “That is what I want, honest loyalty,” he said. This appeared to satisfy him as some sort of “deal” in which we were both winners.’

I'm thinking... Considering we got radioactive rain over us (which still is present, have to check some animals for radiation if hunted in certain woods) when Chernobyl leaked, what will happen when amerika nukes Russia? I know amerikas president cares little of us but I would be happy if we get a warning a few days before he pushes the button, I'm thinking of moving to kanada if nukes will fall.

If America or Russia uses a nuke it will be game over. Mutually assured destruction.
 
Oh, let this happen:

Michael R. Bromwich, McCabe's counsel, said they have long been considering lawsuits.

"We have for some time been actively considering filing civil lawsuits against the president and senior members of the administration that would allege wrongful termination, defamation, constitutional violations and more," Bromwich said. "The distinguished Boies Schiller law firm has recently joined us in this project. This is just the beginning."

I'll be getting it. Still need to read Trumpocracy, It's Even Worse Than You Think, and Russian Roulette as well.

Treasury department says China isn't manipulating currency. Orange idiot says they are.

There is just too much economic confusion in the latest tweet from Trump to even begin to explain it, so we will just point out that moments ago Trump, in this case definitely not under the advice of Larry Kudlow, accused China and Russia of "playing the currency devaluation game", at a time of rising interest rates, which Trump slammed as "not acceptable."

Russia and China are playing the Currency Devaluation game as the U.S. keeps raising interest rates. Not acceptable!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 16, 2018

Without going too deep - as we would never get out - it is worth noting three things.

First: in the Treasury's just released report on FX manipulation, neither China nor Russia were accused of devaluing their currencies. If Trump has a problem with Beijing's or Moscow's FX policies, he should probably first instruct his treasury.

Second, both currencies have been strengthening for over two years, and only saw a modest loss in value just very recently.

Third, the only reason Russia is "playing the devaluation game" is because of the sanctions Trump unleashed on Russia last week which sent both the ruble, and Russian assets crashing. If anything, Moscow wants a stronger Ruble to avoid having to raise rates even higher. As for China, while it may want a weaker yuan to boost exports, it will surely come as news to Beijing that it is devaluing the currency, which is trading at the strongest level against the dollar since the August 2015 devaluation, as a result of - drumroll - the weaker dollar. In fact, the weaker the dollar, the stronger the Yuan.

Incidentally, neither the RUB, nor the CNY, and not even the USD, moved in response to Trump's tweet.

Meanwhile, the biggest irony is what Trump himself told the WSJ exactly one year ago: "I think our dollar is getting too strong, and partially that's my fault because people have confidence in me."

Maybe if Trump wants stronger foreign currencies - i.e. a weaker dollar - he should just make sure people have "less confidence" in him? That, or more likely, he will start attacking Jay Powell in his morning tweets, demanding the Fed stop hiking rates.

Wonder who the third client is:


Since we know that Trump does not really work via email, I have this lingering secret hope that there was someone from Fox (or Russia, or lordy, both!) coordinating with the Trump campaign via Cohen because he's a lawyer and ought to know better than be caught doing something illegal that could open this up to discovery.
