US Politics December 2018: ~very legal and very cool~

I'm sure like late payment fees etc. will be happily waived on account of Bush funeral mail delays. This should work out fine for everyone.

it's rare to see someone do this kind of 180. also, it seems like he was being really careful to document the semi-legal stuff he's been doing for trump for years, as if he expected he would need information to protect himself from getting thrown under the bus by trump. seems smart... and yet he spent his career as trump's thuggish "fixer"

what's funny to me is if trump treated cohen with a little bit more than utter contempt and actually repaid his 'loyalty' he wouldn't be in this mess

Yes, as amply demonstrated, Trump creates 99.9% of his own problems.

for real, an unscheduled total shutdown of the USPS is probably going to srsly fuck some people. and for what.

Well, it'll probably just be poor people who don't pay for stuff online like us normals, NBD.

GERRY FORD DIDN'T GET NO POSTAL SHUTDOWN

He got his airport draped in black bunting and a ceremonial fly-over though.

God, I'm just imagining so many needlessly tragic incidents where people living on a razor's edge didn't think to check the USPS Twitter feed before they send out their bills or while they're waiting for some payment or medication they desperately need. Fuck this shit.

If the postal service can assure me that no one will be evicted or go a day without insulin because they shut down, cool, go for it. Otherwise, go die.

I'm absolutely certain none of them will accuse the dems of being involved. No chance of that whatsoever.

Allegedly they think it's a 'foreign entity.' Mm.

Meantime, I know you were all waiting with bated breath.

NONONONONONO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING NOOOOOOOO

RIP our Joe the Plumber

clearing the way for ORNALDO BLOOMPS

I'll vote for anyone who can take down that elephant thing tbh.

I thought Stormy Daniels was already saying that Avenatti had mis-represented her in a couple of court filings. So I assumed that she was no longer hiring him.

Would he have stood any chance in becoming the nominee?

no

I Avenatti clue

Good:

The incoming House majority leader said Democrats might refuse to seat a North Carolina Republican next year unless and until “substantial” questions about the integrity of his election are resolved.

Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), the current minority whip, made the comments to reporters Tuesday as North Carolina election officials investigate whether an operative hired by Republican candidate Mark Harris illegally collected incomplete ballots from voters.

The probe has delayed the certification of Harris’s narrow victory in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, and the state officials could decide to call for a new election. Harris and Democrat Dan McCready are separated by 905 votes, according to unofficial returns.

we are basta point of no return

2020 dystopian grudge match imagination scenario:

SCHUMER V AVENATTI, if you absolutely had to choose, who would you vote for??

Schumer

in a heartbeat

Amazing how much controversy basta bro cooked up within a few months of becoming famous. There is only one other man I can think of that rivals him in this department.

YOU LIFE BURNS FASTER
OBEY YOUR...
BASTA. BASTA.

Palin beats him in that regard

I wonder if we’ll ever learn what the hell happened with the domestic violence incident

All other shit about Trump aside, may we never ever gift another person with the presidency as their first elected position in government. Fuck that noise.

You mean #basta to that noice

Trump warned China "I'm a tariff man"

At least now they know who they're dealing with.

There was one good moment in the woodward book, which you lot yelled at me for reading, in which trump was apopleptic in some meeting with Gary Cohn and he scrawls “trade is bad” on a piece of paper

was it in crayon

Sharpie yo

Thumb dipped in taco bowl grease.

im just mad this jagoff ruined 'basta' for me

if you spell it without the "#" nobody will even think about it

Trump's like Gordon Gekko after he stuck his head under a lawnmower

Today we're going to find out what kind of sentence special counsel Robert Mueller's office thinks former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn should get for lying to the FBI. While we wait, a thread on how we got here and what to look out for:

It is interesting that within the scope of this investigation the primary national security advisor to the president, who accepted money from a foreign government to act on its behalf and did not disclose it, is among the 'small fish' who'll be let off easy in order to catch bigger fish.
