CNN Who is George Papadopoulos? or What a low level coffee boy did in 2016

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/30/politics/who-is-george-papadopoulos/index.html

The statement from Mueller says that Papadopoulos falsely claimed he met with an overseas professor before joining the Trump campaign in March 2016 about "the Russians possessing "dirt" on Hillary Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails."

At that point, however, he was already working for the Trump campaign -- the professor only took interest in Papadopoulos because of his status on the campaign, according to the statement. The professor told Papadopoulos about the Russians possessing dirt on Clinton in late April, and the statement says that "he repeatedly sought to use the professor's Russian connections to arrange a meeting between the campaign and Russian government officials."

Papadopoulos also met with a Russian woman in March 2016 along with the professor, according to the statement, and he relayed that information to the campaign.

During a March 31, 2016, foreign policy meeting with Trump and other campaign foreign policy advisers, Papadopoulos introduced himself to the group and stated "he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President Putin," according a factual statement signed by Papadopoulos in connection with his guilty plea.

This just hit me when I was at the gym tonight

Team Trump: See these indictments prove that the Trump campaign had no
connections with Russia.

Me: (Thought Bubble) of the three people I heard about today ... 2 of which were
indicted and the 3rd who has pled guilty all three worked for the Trump campaign
and all three were connected to Russia and or part of the Ukraine that supported
Putin.

I think the pressure is getting to him

Just on MSNBC @ 12:00 .... Trump golfing and he missed a short putt then he slammed his putter
to the ground. I don't know if it is a current video but I think the pressure is getting to him.

Daily Kos: Sexual harassment allegations put Mark Halperin's past defense of Trump in a new light

Suddenly, some things about Mark Halperin make an awful lot of sense. Wednesday night CNN reported that five women were accusing the reporter, a major promoter of right-wing commentary veiled as political common wisdom, of sexual harassment and unwanted touching. Let’s reread Halperin’s comments about some of the reporting on Donald Trump’s treatment of women with that in mind, shall we?

After the New York Times ran a pre-pussy-tape investigative piece on Trump’s treatment of women in which a Miss Universe contestant described Trump kissing her and other contestants on the lips without asking and another woman him groping her under the table in the presence of her boyfriend, Halperin's take was that:

There’s some troubling things in the piece, but there’s nothing illegal, there’s nothing even kind of like beyond boorish or politically incorrect, which is built into the Donald Trump brand.

Halperin gave a statement to CNN saying that:

"During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me," Halperin said in a statement to CNN Wednesday night. "I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I'm going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation."

Trump has the dumb fuck support .... a true story .... less then an hour old

Tonight I went to local Asian carry out in Columbus, OH... very good ..... carry out only.

I went next door to a red neck / dive bar where I have been before to get a beer and shoot
a game of pool as I was waiting on my food and less then 10' from me I overheard a man with
an American flag hat tell the people around him this:

"Well, it has been pretty much proven that Hillary paid Russia to set Trump up."

The Dems should not spend one second trying to get the white dumb fuck vote and instead
spend their time on making sure we get the voter turn out and that their votes are counted.
Because Fox, Rush, their Pastors, and right wing media/internet has cooked their minds.

Why didn't they hire Puerto Ricans and Puerto Rican businesses to redo the electrical system?

And what about the idea of using solar and wind to produce electricity in Puerto Rico?
