I think part of the Mueller strategy is to gather enough sworn statements that are so inconsistent and contradictory that someone will have to go up for perjury.

Trump, his gang, and the Republicans are all such liars. The only truth to be found in this mess will be the financial transactions, and even those will be maddeningly difficult to figure out (deliberately).

Sorry to go OT so early, but I wanted to share this story before calling it a night.

A German man apparently discovered an 80-meter long section of the Berlin Wall in Berlin-Schönholz that’s still standing. He found this section back in 1999, and kept quiet about it until Monday…..he noticed storm damage and was becoming increasingly concerned about vandalism, so he finally reported his find to the authorities.

This particular segment of the Berlin Wall was erroneously listed as having been dismantled. The discoverer, Christian Bormann, says that this particular surviving segment is from the Phase I wall, which would’ve been constructed in the very early 1960’s.

Certainly, a fascinating historical find - there’s very little left of the Berlin Wall these days, and hopefully, steps can now be taken to preserve this bit of European history.

And with that, have a good one, Lizards.

Heh.

Here’s Mr. Bormann’s original blog post detailing his discovery. It’s in German, but Google Chrome can auto-translate it or it can be run through Google Translate.

In keeping with their confederate cousins, the Nazis should take it, move it to far Western Germany, put it in a park, and declare that the wall went all the way around Germany but it really didn’t mean anything.

I’m not going to comment on Mrs. Third Wife Trump’s looks. All I’ll say is that Cruz, for all his faults, is still married to his first wife. Nuff said.

The RW values women based on looks and their dependence on their husband; they are supposed to be homemakers and not have successful careers. Isn’t Ms. Cruz biggest flaw is that she actually was the primary breadwinner in the family?

re: #99 Blind Frog Belly White

I would like to think that enough Republicans would blanch a the idea of an intelligence/police agency solely answering to the President, if not for Constitutional reasons, then at least because they’d be afraid of what happens when a Dem wins the WH. Sadly they seem to think the world is ending before 2020 so that there will never be consequences for their actions.

I don’t share that view, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don’t think many Republicans would consider obvious fascism to be wrong at all, because we don’t have any evidence that Republicans are opposed to evil things, and at this point, most Republicans in Congress are FOX cultists. Secondly, neither Republicans nor the American media think that Republicans need to be bound by the same rules Democrats are, or held to the same standards. So creating a Gestapo would be completely acceptable, and if a Democrat were to somehow get in power and want to abuse it, then that could be immediately condemned as wrong with no repercussions for hypocrisy.

“I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth. “

— Ursula K. LeGuin (1929-2018)

Remember that for it is the kind of knives edge that will see us through these dark days.

Only in dying life:

On the empty sky.”

I care if the circumstances of their divorce reveal aspects of their character that would be relevant and maybe that’s the only way we would know about it. Violence, egregious lies, financial shenanigans…

That’s the low hanging fruit.

Also low hanging - the incessant violations of 18 USC 1001. See Kushner, Jared and his SF-86 filings. He repeatedly omitted the fact that he met with Russian nationals multiple times across multiple submissions.

That’s actionable - each with a 5 year prison term. That he still has security clearance shows poorly on the rest of the admin and their refusal to follow the law and procedures.

The harder cases are the financial crimes and conspiracy against the US (aka the evidence that goes to “collusion with Russians”). Lying about meeting with Russians is easier to prove than proving that Trump and his cronies was in cahoots with the Russians to throw/manipulate the election outcome.

3. “Let me clarify what he said.”
4. “He intended it as a joke.”
5. “I think what he meant was …”
6. “What he said is not entirely supported by the facts.”
7. “He fights fire with fire.”
8. “Genuine president expressing himself genuinely.”
9. “Just trump being trump.”
10. “Wait until he matures in office.”
11. “It’s not terrible but it’s kind of the classic Trump in that he overstates things.”
12. “Maybe he was being sarcastic.”
13. “While I find it hard to believe I should have to defend the President on this …”
14. “It is not unusual for staffers to hear him bluster about things. That doesn’t mean it’s real.”
15. “The president speaks for himself,”
16. “The tweet speaks for itself.”
17. “Maybe you should get a sense of humor.”
18. “He’s new to this.”
19. “He wasn’t meaning to give a factual statement.”
20. “He was misinterpreted.”
21. “The president will use whatever language he wants to use, obviously.”
23. “He was being rhetorical.”
24. “The president’s style is the president’s style.”
25. “Mar-a-Lago stirs him up,”
26. “He was paraphrasing.”
27. “The tweet was simply sloppy and unfortunate.”
28. “He was trying to be cute.”
29. “I’m not going to make judgments on what the president does. That’s up to him,”
30. “Give him time. He’s learning on the job.”
31. “His comments were unfortunate but his heart is in the right place.”
32. “This is how the forgotten men and women of America talk at a (Wisconsin) bar,”
33. “It will actually resonate with his base, not alienate it,”
34. “There’s a large segment of voters who it resonates with as anti-P.C. ‘straight talk’.”
35. “Let’s judge the President after 4 years and not on what he says.”
36. “I don’t recall him ever saying that specifically.”
37. “He is a flawed man, I am a flawed man. God will take care of it…”
…. I’m sure there are more..

Trump cheated on his wives multiple times, each for a newer model (literal and figurative). He cheated on his latest wife after she gave birth to his latest kid (5th with 3 wives?).

Chuck has been married to his wife Iris since 1980. Two kids. No indication they’ve had affairs or cheated on each other.

Getting him under oath is a bonus, but lying to the FBI is a crime even without the oath.

But if he had competent lawyers, they’ll be demanding he cite the 5th. He wont, because he’s too vain and ego-driven to do that, and it puts him in legal jeopardy.

He is literally his own legal team’s worst nightmare, and everyone knows it. That’s why all his right wing cronies are doing everything imaginable to try and derail the investigation now, before Trump speaks, because it will not end will for any of his admin once he does.
