So Trump claims the Mueller investigation costs $40 million. Yet Paul Manifort had $42-$46 million worth of real estate and cash forfeited.
So the report ended up running a profit.

I can understand why they’re pushing gas so hard when we don’t want to rely on the Russian wind, Russian sun, and Russian ocean currents.
But demoncrats are committing voting fraud with millions of illegal dark people voting!
I choose to see the positive. I thought of this while driving in to the office this morning.
Do you remember in Attack of the Clones where, after pulling strings behind the scenes for so long, Palpatine gets Amidala to trigger a no-confidence vote that gets rid of Vellorum and eventually leads to the installation of Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor? One movie later, Jar Jar is the one who proposes broad emergency powers for Palpatine to raise a "Grand Army of the Republic", and we know he eventually declares himself the Emperor, yada yada yada.
The real life scenario is the behind the scenes work was done by the brainwashing "conservative" media (I use conservative in quotes because that's the label they use for themselves, but they are more authoritarian by far than conservative), but at the end result they got Vellorum thrown out but somehow managed to vote Jar Jar as Supreme Chancellor. Jar Jar is still trying to make himself Emperor, and a frightening number of people seem to be behind it, but if it were actually someone even remotely capable we'd be pretty much already there.
Her father, she said, was a brilliant cartographer who was deeply committed to traditional conservative principles like free will and limited government. As a child, she said, she was schooled in those same principles, but every successive gerrymandered map he created only solidified her conviction that he had abandoned them in a quest to entrench his party in permanent control.
“He had me with the idea that we are made to be free,” she said. “And then he lost me.”
Asked by CBS News' Jan Crawford about concerns over his reputation for defending the president amid ongoing probes into the administration's alleged ties to the Russian government and claims that Mr. Trump obstructed justice, Barr appeared indifferent.
"I am at the end of my career," Barr said. "Everyone dies and I am not, you know, I don't believe in the Homeric idea that you know, immortality comes by, you know, having odes sung about you over the centuries, you know?"

That didn’t take long. Joe Biden had barely joined the 2020 presidential race when the right-wing disinformation machine began cranking out the newest iteration of its Deep State conspiracy theory, with this version claiming the former vice president was part of a government cabal that cooked up a supposedly phony Trump-Russia scandal to keep the reality television celebrity from gaining the White House. This certainly is an easy charge to debunk—that is, if you care about facts—but it’s still likely that this unfounded notion will take hold in the fever swamp of Trump-encouraged and Fox-fueled conservative paranoia.
Hey, Rob, uhm, this is John again. Uh, maybe, I-I-I'm-I'm sympathetic; I understand your situation, but let me see if I can't ... state it in ... starker terms. If you have ... and it wouldn't surprise me if you've gone on to make a deal with, and, uh, work with the government, uh ... I understand that you can't join the joint defense; so that's one thing. If, on the other hand, we have, there's information that. .. implicates the President, then we've got a national security issue, or maybe a national security issue, I don't know ... some issue, we got to-we got to deal with, not only for the President, but for the country. So ... uh ... you know, then-then, you know, we need some kind of heads up. Um, just for the sake of ... protecting all our interests, if we can, without you having to give up any ... confidential information. So, uhm, and if it's the former, then, you know, remember what we've always said about the President and his feelings toward Flynn and, that still remains, but-Well, in any event, uhm, let me know, and, uh, I appreciate your listening and taking the time. Thanks, Pal.
Just a Florida Republican Musing About Killing Gay People
In audio released by the Pensacola State Journal on Friday, Florida Republican State Rep. Mike Hill can be heard casually discussing the possibility of introducing legislation to kill gay people.
The recording, taken during a May 24 forum held by the Pensacola-based Women for Responsible Legislation, features a man whom the Journal identified as Hill responding to a constituent who noted that “In 1 Corinthians, it says that a man who has an affair with another man will be put to death.”
“It says that in the Old Testament too,” Hill answered, before another person chimed in, asking if he could “introduce legislation.”

Was talking about the person in the Twitter post hrudey posted. No chance I would ever vote for him.
Swan: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she calls, she has called President Trump a racist. Have you ever seen him say or do anything that you would describe as racist or bigoted?
Kushner: So the answer is no. Absolutely not. You can’t not be a racist for 69 years and then run for president and be a racist. What I’ll say is that when a lot of the Democrats call the president a racist, I think they’re doing a disservice to people who suffer because of real racism in this country.
Swan: Was birtherism racist?
Kushner: Um, look, I wasn’t really involved in that.
Swan: I know you weren’t! Was it racist?
Kushner: Like I said, I wasn’t involved in that.
Swan: I know you weren’t! Was it racist?
Kushner: Um, look, I know who the president is, and I have not seen anything in him that is racist. So, again, I was not involved in that.
Swan: Did you wish he didn’t do that?
Kushner: Like I said, I was not involved in that. That was a long time ago.
Swan: The other issue that often gets brought up in this conversation is that he campaigned on banning Muslims. Would you describe that as religiously bigoted?
Kushner: Look, I think that the president did his campaign the way he did his campaign, and I think …
Swan: He did! But do you wish he didn’t? Do you wish he didn’t make that speech?
Kushner: Uh, I think he’s here today, and I think he’s doing a lot of great things for the country, and that’s what I’m proud of.

Can't wait for him to tweet about how big of losers the UK are on his flight back to 'Murica. How long is he staying there?
