Manafort Jail Info Posted

So, he's not in the DC Central jail.

He's in Warsaw, VA just outside Richmond and he's listed as in the VIP section, whatever that means.

Do you think Mueller's team has 24/7 media monitoring?

Been thinking about this lately. Do you think Mueller's team/staff has some computer or person monitoring the media and twitter 24/7 to find out when Trump or his cronies say something stupid, criminal, or concerning?

For example, when it was reported that Giuliani told the Daily News that Trump is looking at lots of pardons to clean up the mess from the Mueller investigation, including Manafort, does a giant alarm go off at Mueller's office alerting him to this?

Obviously he assumes Trump would consider it anyway, but it's interesting to think about how he finds out about all this stuff since he happens so fast.

Lindsey Graham on CNN defending Trump

Acting like his behavior is no big deal. Such a coward.

CNN just showed Trump's approval up to 43%

due to the Summit being approved by half of Americans.

/sigh I feel like his approval is never going to drop at this point. The propaganda works too well and we have too many idiots in this country.

Brace Yourselves, It's going to be an ugly media day

IG Report on the Clinton email investigation is being released today and Trump, Fox, and Republicans are already gearing up to use it as a weapon to go after the FBI, DoJ, Mueller, Comey, and Clinton.

They are going to claim the FBI was biased and supported Clinton, they're going to claim she should go to jail, they're going to claim Mueller is illegitimate and should be fired.

And the media, especially CNN will go with that spin because we know how much they love talking about Hillary's emails.

I feel this is going to be a very dark, depressing day that may put the Mueller investigation in jeopardy.

Mueller Warns of Active Russian Meddling, Seeks Disclosure Lid

Source: Bloomberg

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russian intelligence services have active “interference operations” in the U.S. and asked a judge to limit the pretrial evidence provided to a Russian firm indicted over meddling in the 2016 election.

“The substance of the government’s evidence identifies uncharged individuals and entities that the government believes are continuing to engage in interference operations like those charged in the present indictment,” prosecutors wrote.

There are still individuals and entities engaged in attacking our country on behalf of Russia. Mueller still plans on charging more people.
Wonder when and whom he plans on charging.

When do Americans stand up and strike?

After this fiasco at the G7 completely reaffirming that trump is owned by Putin and his mission is to destroy America and destabilize western Democracies, when are Americans going to stop being apathetic and actually stand up and shut the country down until things change?

Sitting back hoping Russians don't rig the November election (Dan Coates says they're already working on it) is not going to save America. Until Republicans see the anger and the power of the people putting a stop to this, America is not going to improve.

Next week could be scary or exciting

So I have some concerns about next week. The IG report is coming out on the Hillary email investigation. No idea what it will show, but you can count on trump supporters, Fox, Republicans, etc. to use anything it says to create massive distraction and go after anyone who was involved in that investigation.

The North Korea summit is also happening, and so many people are giving trump a lot of credit for that nonsense. CNN just showed his approval up to 44% thanks to NK and the economy.


Now we do get the Manafort and Michael Cohen sagas next week. But it just seems like an endless stream of right-wing propaganda that makes it so hard to keep the narrative on our side. Twitter is like an echo chamber of Trump praise from all the bots. And people buy into that crap.

I wish we had a better way to fight against right-wing propaganda.

Trump planning on pardoning at least a dozen people

Was just on CNN. The Tyrant is preparing a list of at least a dozen people he's going to pardon soon.


I freakin hate the pardon power. He's absolutely abusing it for his own personal gain, and Republicans are perfectly ok with it.

Has anyone done Canvassing?

Local candidate in my State is hiring canvassers to go door to door to get people to vote for her for the State House.

It's an entry-level campaign job, but I personally hate solicitors who come door to door, so I feel like it's probably a frustrating job to have people slam the door in your face.

Anyone tried it before? Did you enjoy it?
