So. The “A Block” of Maddow is all about how it looks like Mueller has closed off the Obstruction Of Justice investigation to all possible new evidence.
And if this is the case … well, the indictments should start rolling out pretty damn soon.
It’s instructive also that the NY State criminal cases are kicking into a higher gear right now.
Cases that cannot be disposed of by a Presidential Pardon.

If these two assumptions are correct: 1) that Mueller has Don, Don Jr., Ivanka and Jared nailed to the fricking wall and
2) that they’ve planned ahead by sharing the evidence with NY State prosecutors, so they can build cases that DO NOT fall under Trump’s pardon power …

It’s late. I’ve spent most of the afternoon and evening sad but I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words. Marley was a terrific dog. When you decide to buy a dog, you know that this will eventually come but it’s always worth it to make that decision because the journey you spend with your dog is the best. And maybe that’s the silver lining in dogs not living as long as we do that we get to know more dogs that way. That said I would have loved for Brady, my childhood dog and Marley to have met. And honestly I hate to turn a doggie story political but I think about Trump who has used dog as an insult for people and who is the only President in ages not to have one and I just think that there’s just something wrong with a man who doesn’t enjoy the company of animals especially a dog. They truly do become members of the family and we mourn them all the same.

That goes back to the argument that when police or federal agents wilfully violate a person’s rights, the first payments should come out of those police or federal agents’ own funds. When they are bankrupt, go after the agency next.

My deepest condolences to ibob. The day my mother leaves this earthly coil will be the worst day of my life.
And to HappyWarrior as well. Sometimes I think we as a species don’t deserve dogs, they’re too good to us.
The problem is not that Beto takes campaign donations from industries in his area.
All elected officials do this.
The problem is that as a society we have strong dissonance over what an election should be, in regards to how they are funded.
It’s easy to label the oil&gas industry as evil, but in reality we all participate in that business.
In my mind the real need is to make all campaign donations public over a small amount (say $100), and especially to PACs.
However, I wonder how many voters really care? I bet less than 1% of voters make up their minds based on who are funding this or that candidate.
re: #64 freetoken
Reading that twitter thread, he doesn’t take the big bugs from the industry, but from many, many small individual donors who work in that field. Since he is from Texas, and that was the Senatorial campaign. If I am understanding things correctly.
People are missing a point here: folks in the oil and gas industry in Texas were donating to a Democrat, giving up on the Republican candidate they would normally support. This isn’t a scandal. It’s Texas slowly turning blue. I think it’s GREAT Beto received this support!
— Mr Burlesk (@mrburlesk) December 4, 2018
re: #64 freetoken
Beto is listed second here:
It’s an artifact of him raising so much money. Beto received 6x more money from the ‘Education lobby’, 3x more from health professionals, etc. Oil & Gas is 17th on Beto’s list by contribution, but his fund raising haul was so huge that the absolute numbers look high.
Sirota is being misleading and trying to stir up FUD.
re: #67 retired cynic
Yup.
However, to me it does not make a big difference if a candidate gets $50 from an oil field worker, or $5k from the company executive. Both donors are participating willingly in the same endeavor.
The real problem is that Sirota and his ilk are too puritanical, not willing to accept the real world of politics.
Any politician in Texas will need to get voters from those who are connected to the oil and gas industries, because those are large industries in Texas.
And I’d almost completely forgotten about David Sirota.

As noted at the Open Secrets page for Beto O’Rourke, he did not take any PAC money at all for his Senate run. It was all individual donations. He took no money from businesses.
re: #64 freetoken

The link to that page is somewhat misleading, as it just shows the total from each industry and its workers.
This link breaks it down by individual donations and PACs. Oil and gas PAC (and every other PAC except the Democratic Party) are all $0.
It is unsurprising that Beto O’Rourke would get a large amount of donations from oil and gas workers, considering that oil and gas is a large employment sector in Texas.
Wait, it is surprising. That’s Texas and he damn near knocked of Ted Cruz in the election, for a seat which should have been a cakewalk for an R.

In any case, in the Senate race, Ted Cruz still received about $75,000 more than Beto from the individual workers working for oil and gas employers. Is it possible to determine the total expended for Ted vs Beto or is there no way to identify the real amount of dark money and PAC money spent on the campaigns?

They are already establishing the myth of the Deep State and the DOJ that is out to hunt Republicans and ignore Democrats. Trump’s convictions will just be their crowning argument in that scenario.

re: #108 Deep State SuperElite Satinist
David Sirota published hit pieces on the Clinton Foundation months after the 2016 primary was over.
Before the 2012 election David Sirota co-hosted a radio show on Clear Channel with Michael “Heck of a Job , Brownie” Brown, owned at the time by Mitt Romney’s Bain Capitol, where he spent much effort attacking Obama from the left as Brown attacked Obama from the right.
At one point, David Sirota had an article in the Huffington Post dishonestly attacking a candidate for school board; her opponent happened to be married to David Sirota.I’m not a fan.
He’s just an all around hack and I guarantee the Bros I know will start distorting this immediately. As hoarse said, people in industries we dislike get a say. This is why I hope people pounce on the fact Bernie’s immigration record once received praise from Steve King and while he loves to talk about corporate responsibility- a legit thing- he hasn’t always been that consistent when it comes to the firearms industry. He’s also never met any racism that he doesn’t attempt to rationalize. Sirota wants to play hardball give it to him.

I believe that take is the most white privileged one you could have. Even if you want to argue that anti racism can be overzealous which I imagine is what this lame take is, it’s nothing compared to actual racism and this crap is exactly why libertarianism remains whiter and maler than ever. Libertarians have some good ideas but they are so zealously stupid sometimes trying to prove hyperbolic points that have no meat to them. There’s no difference between what the SPLC does- anti racism and actual racism I.e. what happens everyday to PoC.

Ah, yes, and let’s toss in one more AMAZING COINCIDENCE: Several of the witnesses are related to a gent named Leslie McCrae Dowless, a charming fellow hired by the Harris campaign as a contractor, according to affidavits. If Harris won, said one, Dowless would get $40,000 cash. He insisted on cash. Dowless was convicted in 1992 of felony fraud against an insurance company, not to mention a number of misdemeanor grifts over the years like kiting checks and failure to pay taxes. Public Radio aficionados may remember him from a segment on This American Life about absentee vote frauding in 2016:
He had some people working for him, getting out the vote— volunteers, McCrae calls them. The volunteers, though, were allegedly getting paid for each ballot they turned in. That is illegal. One of the voters who signed an affidavit said that Get Out the Vote workers came by and had her family request absentee ballots. But then they never received their absentee ballots in the mail like they were supposed to. Then, when the family went to vote on election day, they were told they’d already voted. In essence, McCrae’s getting accused of paying people to obtain absentee ballots, fill them out, and cast their votes on someone else’s behalf. That, for sure, is illegal. McCrae says he didn’t do anything wrong.

Something I remember noticing in the runup to the Brexit vote in 2016 was a good deal of anti-Slavic bigotry being openly expressed in the comments sections of the UK tabloids - the bulk of it was aimed at Poles and to a lesser extent, Czechs and Slovaks. It was pretty vicious, to put it mildly.

I always like talking to them and finding out where they’re from and I think they do appreciate an American who not only knows Slovakia isn’t remotely the same as Russia but wants to know more.

re: #250 The Vicious Babushka
We can explain it to Trump, but it’s like talking to a goddamned wall.
A potted plant has more comprehension and understanding.
It doesn’t cost Americans $250 billion a year. That’s a bulkshit made up figure.
Even other right wing extremists peg the cost at over $100 billion, which doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
And removing illegals would mean lower productivity and lower output, as they’re doing a lot of jobs Americans wouldn’t do - like agriculture, service industries, construction, etc.
The wall is a known boondoggle that won’t stop illegals (by Trump’s own admission, they can use ladders and ropes, and then later admitted that he wants it see-thru so you can’t throw stuff over and hit someone on the head with it - aka a fence).
Drugs aren’t streaming across the border either as CBP admits - the bulk of drugs coming into the US are via package deliveries these days, including from China in amounts under 3 ounces - fentanyl is worth more than most other opiates due to its strength and cutting it can mean that 3 ounces is worth more than kilos of other opiates.
Border crossings are at multi year lows, a trend starting before Trump took office. But Trump’s feeding the private prison sector by sending those captured to these private facilities on the taxpayer dime.

These series of tweets provide direct confirmation that there are no policy boundaries Trump can cross in direct violation to traditional Republican /Libertarian ideals that his supporters will instead either ignore or applaud.
Here we have Trump crowing about perceived Tariff receipts that are fed to the Federal Government instead of being realized as business revenues. This is in direct conflict with well-worn policy bedrocks of Republicanism. Instead of condemnation from Republicans, we have silence at best. We see this pattern on behavior over and over again from the cult of Trump. There is literally no policy Trump can violate that they will ignore all in the name of keeping White Power as an institution.
…except one policy. If Trump were to even suggest enabling black or brown skinned people to garner more power in the Trumpland’s zero-sum game world, they would turn on him in an instant.

Congrats. In reality you’re aiding and abetting mass shootings and ignore when nonwhite gun owners are gunned down by cops for no legit reason.
You are an entity furthering white nationalist agenda and compromised by Russia.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) December 4, 2018
The goddamned NRA (Russia branch) decides that mass shootings aren’t a problem in the US because we, as a population of 300 million plus, don’t have the same per-capita mass shootings as other places, like say: Yemen or Afghanistan or Pakistan or parts of Africa - many of which are war-torn regions, suffering from civil war etc.
So, instead of identifying why mass shootings are unique to the US in sheer volume, the NRA instead trots out a stat that obfuscates the matter.

So, which is more likely: NRCC hack blamed on DNC or held up as “proof” that the Russians wanted the DNC to win the midterms?
Oh, RNC hacked, then this is very serious business. If Dems were hacked, it was their own fault.

I imagine there are strict rules about what a Congressperson can do with her staff’s pay budget. And I agree completely with Alexandria. The usual out of touch douchebags who have never had to know what it’s like to make ends meet attack her.
So, all the talk about how @BarackObama was harsh on Israel and got tough with Israel was…. just talk? Not actually backed up by the facts? Or was this an oversight in furtherance of a hagiography of GHWB?

Between climate issues and anti-vax people, humans are bound to be eliminated from this planet by conservative “thinking.”
Actually the two, heat and disease might work together to do the job.Nature can cook up stuff we don’t even comprehend yet that can wipe us out.
It is an oncoming disaster and the conservative mind is the same as the joke about God saving them from a flood disaster. “I sent your brainy scientists and fantastic medical brains and you ignored them.”

‘But since they’re in a Republican administration, it’s very cool and very legal.’
Party over the Rule of Law, as usual.

And that’s where she, and we, are different than the GOP. Why does the waitress deserve a break, they ask?

The point he made about many “law-abiding” people with guns really want the opportunity to actually use them struck home with me. When my RW brother lived in Florida, he often talked about offering to help a neighbor who held an official post when he was investigating criminal activity. And it’s not as though my brother had any military or other relevant experience: he is just an NRA member with too many guns and no where to go.
