No, the 'M' is short for "M. Night Shyamalan"

everyone involved in this historically terrible fiasco of a government, however they've opted in, are worthy of scorn, derision, ridicule and potential criminal investigation
i am not excepting Barron, who I fully expect to be plotting an overthrow of canada as we speak
but maybe, in general, focusing on actual horrible things they're doing instead of invented craziness is a wiser route

I mean all else aside it's very hard for me to square the existence of a person who would voluntarily put themselves in a situation where they risk regularly seeing Donald Trump's naked body.

focusing on actual horrible things they're doing instead of invented craziness is a wiser route

this is nobel and all but like you said in the start of the post it's all a shitty mess and nobody cares about anything real anyways

I thought she was in hiding waiting for the swelling etc to reduce from having A Little Work Done.

heh

ABJ: “It’s not particularly persuasive to argue that an investigation hasn’t found anything when you lied to the investigators”

"Saying I'm sorry I got caught is not an inspiring plea for leniency." - Judge in Manafort trial

— John Santucci (@Santucci) March 13, 2019

ABJ announces the sentence:

60 months on Count 1, 30 months of that served concurrently with EDVA sentence
13 months on Count 2, to be served consecutively

— Andrew Prokop (@awprokop) March 13, 2019

So satisfying that Manafort will be ever-so-slightly older when he's finally released from prison. Wave goodbye to your late sixties and maybe even a little bit of your early seventies, Paul!

He's going to miss at least a couple seasons of his favorite shows. So delicious, this justice.

So 73 months makes last week's 47 months moot. It's an improvement.

so it's 43 months added to 47, right? Minus 9 already served. 6.75 years.

oh, I misread that tweet

Guys it’s gonna amount to a few more months before he’s pardoned anyway

Am I correct in assuming a pardon will also wipe out the $25 million he’s been ordered to pay back?

i'm just curious which "photoshopped image" DJT is referring to? the Alabama thing was a video. did he take a real picture of his wife to be a Photoshop?

Note: Donald Trump doesn't actually understand what 'photoshopping' means or entails.

'photoshop' is just another way that his brain worms have latched onto to say 'fake news'

Do I gotta Snopes dis sumbitch for yall

Eh, I'm given to understand that Snopes is totally photoshop. Sad!

I should probably remind those here that Melania is easily the most disengaged presidential spouse of my lifetime. she is irrelevant. even her husband gets her name wrong sometimes (iirc, "Melanie").

come on Be Best Aimless

Paul Manafort has just been charged in New York by @ManhattanDA with Residential Mortgage Fraud and other crimes

— Aaron Katersky (@AaronKatersky) March 13, 2019

It is still funny that the media agreed with him that the photos are really Melania, shit at unflattering angles, or photographed on low grade TVs

So he is presented with an open goal and whiffs by saying the pics are Photoshopped, implying he agrees the photos aren't actually her.

Which is not what he meant but lol

*shot

Ideally State of New York has several other sealed indictments ready to play, sort of the opposite of the Get Out Of Jail Free card.

Also, Trump can't pardon him for any New York shit.

What do you call an EGOT for crimes https://t.co/dEhVOT6iPx

— Josh Barro (@jbarro) March 13, 2019

is that 4 jurisdictions? i musta lost one

Also, Trump can't pardon him for any New York shit.

is this true?

Yes

Trump can only pardon people for federal crimes.

EGOT em all

Well well

Nadler: “Unlike in the hearing room, Whitaker did not deny that the president told him to discuss the Michael Cohen case and personnel decisions in the Southern District.”

— Nicholas Fandos (@npfandos) March 13, 2019

“While he was acting AG, Whitaker was directly involved in conversations about where to fire 1 or more US attorneys.”

Nadler says Whitaker also in convos re: “scope of SDNY USA Berman’s recusal & whether the Southern District went too far in pursuing the campaign finance case”

— Nicholas Fandos (@npfandos) March 13, 2019

so is this another one of those "holy shit members of the Trump admin committed felonies in broad daylight" dealies that everyone's just gonna forget about in 2 days

I guess if you are going to break bad, might as well go all the way. That whole thing with Trump having pictures at the Superbowl with the Chinese woman that owned Day Spa's implicated by the FBI in a sex trafficking crime and the owner of the Pat's implicated did not even seem to make much of a blip.

Well, he doesn't even know her, right?

Have we ever seen this degree of brazen, pathological mendacity in American public life? One day he makes a harmless slip of the tongue, something any mentally balanced person would laugh off.

(long ranting thread)

that thread is the question i ask every fucking day for the past... 4 years?

does George Conway ever ask this question over the dinner table while looking into his beloved wife's eyes

It's how he starts foreplay.

Was at a non-political function recently and GC was in the house, wandering around while everyone tried to keep their distance. He is a certifiable schlub in person.
