President Trump holds a W. Va. rally after his former campaign manager Paul Manafort was convicted and lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty.
So when does he go off-script and start unloading about the “rigged witch-hunt” that just pwned two of his most trusted advisers coffee boys?
God is Happy.
- Paul Manafort found guilty
- Michael Cohen plead guilty
- Donald Trump implicated in a federal crime

My money is on Trump surprising folks.
Look for:
1) A more sedate Trump than expected
2) Effort to distance himself from Cohen/Manafort
3) A show of empathy for only Manafort
4) Insisting “collusion” was the only legitimate accusation Mueller was supposed to investigate

Madonna wearing a black graduation gown with a pile of colorful jewelry as well as some weird thing parked on her braided head.
In true Madonna style, she took something culturally important - from a culture she doesn’t belong to - and appropriated it for herself. In this case she’s feeling a bit of that Berber realness after having spent her 60th birthday in Marrakech. That’s what she does. She sees something and decides it’s hers the next day. She’s the ultimate tourist. She buys a house in England and suddenly starts talking like Princess Diana; she catches some Latinx queens vogueing and decides it’s her next big hit.
Many, many shots of the whole ensemble. And…
In other news, everyone’s also talking about her because for some goddamn stupid reason, she was chosen to give the tribute to Aretha Franklin, a woman who was not her contemporary; who didn’t sing in the same style as her, and who never worked with her and wasn’t close to her. In typical Madonna style, she made the tribute almost entirely about herself, angering just about everyone.

When he was younger he could speak intelligibly. But even 10 years ago he started to shorten his sentences and his grammar fell apart.
Trump is unfit for office, always has been, but he talked a game that drew in the bigots and the gullible.
Now, he can barely talk a game.
Even if he is not impeached, Trump will not run in 2020. His decline by that point will be too noticeable to the fence sitters.

His fans have stuck by him no matter what he did. They’ll stick with him even through a much more severe mental decline.
But his fan base is now hardcores only.
All those “independents”, i.e., temporarily embarrassed Republicans, are going to look elsewhere.
Trump is campaigning in WV and only a few other places. Why? Because many Republicans are not wanting an albatross around their neck.

It is a real staged accident. They did, in fact, do this at an actual gymnastics event - as a stunt. The poster mentions this in the video comment. It was made for a TV commercial.
re: #157 Patricia Kayden
He can be charged with crimes after he leaves office so I would never say never.
No president will ever go to jail.

The nakedness of the whole thing… this would make a great Python skit.
What I do not understand is how anyone associated with him allow this kind of embarrassment. All I can figure is this is the only thing that occupies his addled brain and the rest of the time he is so out of control no one wants him around.
Rally.
Golf.
Fox News.
Another Rally.
Repeat.
This is Donny Trump - President.
He’s wrapping up without saying a word about Manafort or Cohen.
OK, the fuckin’ thing is over, finally.
Why in the hell does he end his rallies with “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”?

That’s honestly surprising. Trump is much too stupid to realize that silence is best for him.
Perhaps he just took a call on AF1 from Republican donors who finally started giving orders in terms that ensured obedience.

Oh maaaaan, I forgot all about that. I was still pretty young when all that went down.
WTF was he talking about here:
Trump says Patrick Morrisey will come to him and say, “THEY DON’T WANNA WIN SO MUCH. THEY CANNN’T STANNND IT.” He says, he’ll respond, “I don’t care WHAT THE HELLLL THE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA WANT WE’RE GONNA KEEP ON WINNING ANYWAY.”

re: #106 The Vicious Babushka
You are far stronger than I am. I can take exactly zero seconds.
The most Fox of right wing spins.
Mistrial on 10 charges due to Ellis screwing up those jury instructions and guilty on all the rest.
Resume: Manafort is a convicted felon who faces rest of his life in prison, even without those 10 charges.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) August 21, 2018
Fox will spin Manafort as though it has nothing to do with Trump.
It has everything to do with Trump. This was the amuse bouche before the Manafort main event - the next trial.
In the meantime, Cohen got served up as an appetizer as it implicates Trump as an unindicted coconspirator in multiple felonies.
Yeah, that’s exactly what he is.
Probably most bizarre moment of the whole thing.
It’s just random firings of his 27 remaining neurons at this point, apparently.

re: #199 lawhawk
Lawhawk, I was going to ask, and since you are here - what does the possible sentencing look like on just those 8 charges alone? How likely is the government to press for a retrial on the remaining 10 counts? I mean, if they’ve got him for life, I don’t know if I’d actually bother.

I sitting her trying to figure out how much you would have to pay me to listen to a trump rally (completely sober). Keep in mind, I’m poor. I think I would do it for $500.00. Cash up front. Only tonight because I knew he’s desperate.
Is it too late to ask for more money?
re: #205 ObserverArt
Okay…who used the word gestate around Trump earlier today???
Trump, demanding patience on tariffs, says members of Congress say, “‘SIR, can you get this deal done immediately?’…It’s gotta gestate. The word gestate…it’s like when you’re cooking a chicken…turkey, for Thanksgiving…”He says his mom “made the greatest turkey.”
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 22, 2018
the guy who thinks gestate has to do with cooking turkeys wants to appoint a supreme court justice that will over turn roe v. wade, which presumably is about baking hams https://t.co/qAY60jju8K

For years, people thought we were engaged in hyperbole and demonization when we referred to these people as “two bit crooks” and “the scum of the Earth.” I used to be a Republican: I have always known the truth about conservative opportunists, and the rest of the world is catching up fast.

Trump visited the White House kitchen last night. They tried to explain to him what they were doing. There’s some laughter in the kitchen now.
re: #201 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
I think it is something like 80 years in prison.
He was facing over 200 if guilty on all charges.
He’s facing the second trial on being an undeclared foreign agent, which goes directly to the Russia-Trump relationship and who Trump surrounded himself with all during the campaign.
Would Manafort plead to the second go around on the retrial?
Would Mueller have anything to gain that he doesn’t already have by cutting a deal. I’m not sure at this point. Mueller’s got enough paper evidence to throw Manafort away without any help.
At this point, Manafort’s likely thinking he’ll take his chances on a pardon.
And that’s even though he’d lose his 5A right against self incrimination (on state charges that follow what you see with federal charges - NY would take a keen interest on the tax fraud cases). He’d also likely implicate Trump in other ways.
This is a no win situation for Manafort.

Yeah, that’s exactly what he is.
8 for 18 is 0.444. Those are MVP numbers in the MLB.
Anybody have a vote breakdown on 10 mistrial counts by the Manafort jury? Getting 8 convictions leads me to believe it’s probably just one or two highly pedantic assholes refusing to convict on the rest of the charges but I haven’t seen this confirmed yet.

Trump mentioned coal and the military earlier. He can’t build a coal-fired fighter plane (though they may spend billions trying) but there were some important applications in the past. Maybe he wants to revive them:
French cruiser Marseillaise underway, ca. 1903. Note that only 3 of the 4 boiler sets are working.

Indeed we have. If you look at the structural problems with America, well, the system was designed for Congress that actually does its job to be in charge. Not for an Imperial Presidency. But because of the fatal partisan split, which has been fomented & egged on by Murdoch, Fox News and the other right-wing opportunists like Newt Gingrich, the Congress is so divided that the GOP would gleefully light the country on fire if they could be sure that the libs would get a blister.
re: #220 goddamnedfrank
My guess it’s one holdout who bought into Ellis’ misapplied jury instruction - relating back to the standard of doubt - beyond a reasonable doubt, not beyond all doubt.

Theoretically, a jet engine could breathe coal dust. Would you want it to? No, unless you’re eager to get shot down by a SAM, or have your B-52 fleet’s reliability drop below 50% because their jet engines are less reliable than Nazi Germany’s.
