NY Times: "As Bad News Piles Up, Senate Republicans Hardly Flinch"

What makes these people tick?  I am referring to those who believe in fairy tales.

Fairy tales like AGW and Russian collusion.  Now it is the holy of holies--- " Election campaign finance laws".  NY Times wonders why it doesn't make any difference.  Why would they think that it would?  None of this is news.  It was all discussed during the election.

Dick Morris: Trump Did Not Commit Any Crime in the Michael Cohen Case

Good words yet again.

Words is all we have until people are willing to organize.  This isn't going to stop with the campaign finance fakeout.  Evidently, Russia was a fakeout.  Maybe this too.

One caveat here.  Did Trump accept any federal money?  If he did...

Malkin: Let's Join Together to Stop Out-of-Control Prosecutors

Updated,

4:19 pm:

Six takeaways about Manafort's and Cohen's Legal Woes .

Good words, but do words still matter at this juncture?  I'm not sure this is going to do much good except to buck up a few people.  There are those who are already leaving the fold so to speak.  You know, the ones who didn't need much of an excuse to do that in the first place.

There are those who say "felony".  This is but alleged at this point.  But if proven, then what?  Should we ignore the multiple felonies on the other side that have been committed that have not been addressed?  Besides, isn't the paying off of a porn actress, and failure to disclose this, is something of a hyper technicality in the law?  Anybody could get ensnared in hyper technical application of laws.  If Trump could, anybody could.

I am also questioning the legal representation of Manafort.  That was selective prosecution.  Such a strategy should also be considered as a factor in judging a case.  If only one side ever gets prosecuted for anything, shouldn't a jury be able to say "not this time"?  But the Manafort defense decided to rest without making any kind of a case such as that.

3:24 pm:

I didn't remember reading anywhere what exactly to do about what she is saying.  So I quickly scanned it again.  Nope, there isn't anything here but words.  Nothing but words, we are drowning in words.

This is opinion only.  That is all it is.  If you are going to "join" something, it has to be more than moral support.

The original post follows:

This isn't a wildly partisan piece.  Unfortunately, the detractors of Malkin will not be receptive to this appeal.  Not now.  They are wildly partisan, and probably won't listen to reason.

Why link to it?

It is hard for me to be optimistic right now, but that is all I got.  Just blind faith that it can still be worked out, but I just don't know...

Nobody should want what this has become and what it will mean for this country.  It is complete unchecked and unscrupulous government.  Who should want that?  Just so you can claim a victory over Trump?  Geez.

Reeee Damned diculous

Updated,

11:58 am:

Just now pulled up the pdf on the agreement.   I have scanned the document, and I don't find the word interference in the text.

What struck me was the severity of the possible sentencing.  Just makes me shake my head.  All those years of the Clintons violating campaign finance law, and this is who they charge?

11:38 am:

What I heard from somebody who looked at the court records, Cohen pleaded guilty to "election interference".  This is for paying off Stormy Daniels?  A few legal beagles say that this is a nothingburger.

It is really not the point, as I have been saying.  It doesn't matter if this stuff doesn't hold up.  What matters is getting Trump out now.

In that sense, it really is a coup.  A coup is defined here.  It isn't sudden, nor violent.  But it is illegal.  It is illegal, but it has the appearance of legality.  This is to maintain legitimacy.

In French, it means literally " stroke of the state".  Indeed, the losers of the last election are overthrowing the results because they didn't like it.

A big, big, big important question to answer is "what now"?   What do you do about this???

6:19 am:

The original post below:

A couple things happened since my last blogging entry.

The Manafort jury found him guilty.

Cohen pleads guilty to several counts.

What's my take on this?

It's like the "pussy hats" thing.  File it under CS.

So, they've got their propaganda now, and I suppose that they will try to make the most of it.

Happy talk won't cut it

Hey, all you people.  I know it is not so good news this morning. 

Now, hear this.  I'm not going to defend Manafort and Cohen if they really did do a crime.  What I have a problem with is that Manafort could have been charged YEARS ago, but was not.  It seems that Manafort's real crime was to be Trump's campaign manager.  Think about that.  There was nothing new here.  It is an old case that was rattling around the DOJ for years.  Why go after Manafort now????

The same could be true about Cohen.  I don't know Cohen's case, but the celebrated part is easy to understand.  The same question could be asked---- Why now?

That's my problem.  I'm all for justice being served, but not for justice being served for political objectives.  The political objective here is to take out Trump.

So this shit show continues.  If you want the shit show to get even worse, then let the Democrats keep winning like this.

My guess is that we will hear happy talk and diversionary talk that avoids the issue.  The issue here is that the Democrats are waging a propaganda war, and they are winning.  Lose this war, and you may well lose the upcoming election.  Instead, we hear talk about a civil war.  You people are not even in a war that is really going on RIGHT NOW.  How can you possibly win any war when you won't engage the friggin' enemy RIGHT NOW???

It is late in the game now.  Seems to me that this should not have gotten to this point, but it has.  Unless something changes, this is going to get a whole lot worse.

As for worrying about things I cannot control, not me.  If you people won't get on the ball PDQ, I'm not going to worry about it any further.  I have said all that I can say.  Get the fuck organized or forget about having a country and being free.  You can be happy slaves, too, assholes.

Let's work together

How come the left wing can produce stuff like this, but not the so-called "right"?

You know Mueller couldn't do what he does if you people would organize and protest, and do something constructive within the system that will challenge what these people do.

Yet, you people talk about civil war.  My eye.  You won't stand up to this injustice and fight back.

You can play within the rules and beat these jerks.  But you have to organize.

So, I located this karaoke version of Canned Heat's song  Let's Work Together.

I bet all you so-called conservatives would think this is silly.  Meanwhile, you will lose the country unless you do something to stop this travesty of justice.  Just resolve to "work together", and it can happen.  Stop Mueller, now!

FBI-DOJ Conspiracy Emerges

By Dick Morris.

Morris said he wrote about all this in his book way back at the beginning of Trump's Presidency.

I can attest that he did, but I didn't read the book.   I cannot buy this book, so I cannot ascertain how well Morris' book corresponds with what is actually happening now.

At any rate, there is a conspiracy going on out there.  What can be done about it?  I'm sure that the conservatives will write plenty of blog posts about it.  The talk shows will talk about it.  But will anybody be held accountable for this?

I am not holding my breath.

What might be done?  I was thinking of lawsuits against the media companies.  They are claiming untouchable status because of the first amendment to the constitution.  But there is the possibility of a suit if malicious intent can be established.

Given the way things are reported these days, I would think malicious intent would definitely be within the range of possibilities of being proven.

But the conservatives need to get organized.   Do you notice how Mueller is forcing confessions out of these people?  If there was an organization that helped people deal with a prosecutor like Mueller, then maybe they could thwart these phony convictions on the basis of the truth and the law.

The left is organized.  Why can't the conservatives organize?  It is all too often the case, these guys make easy prey.
