Lanny Davis, Michael Cohen's lawyer, set up a gofundme that has raised over $150,000.  The crowdfunding effort is to help Michael Cohen tell the truth about Trump and his Russian connections.

 

Having made the money, Lanny Davis is now backing away from the claim that Michael Cohen knows anything.

 

Lets be honest, is anyone surprised this turned out to be a scam? 

[Collimatrix]

Gotta hand it to Jill Stein; she was way ahead of the curve when she started money-grubbing for a recount that was very obviously never going to happen.

We're going to be well into the 2040s and people are still going to be sifting through 2016 social media posts trying to find Russian interference.

Why is Paul Manafort's former partner, Rick Davis, reading John McCain's final message to the US?

It is a mistake to view the Russian-collusion case as the product of a set, initial design. Extremely complex organisms arise from adaptive selections due to environmental factors. These selections yield some attributes that appear to be well designed, but others that are kludged. Similarly, there was no single, initial design that created the Russian-collusion narrative. Rather, the narrative developed from a series of decisions by many actors, in different countries, in pursuit of various goals. These goals, however, all hinged on one event: the election of Hillary Clinton.

The IG report talked about how it was likely MANY nations had compromised it, it had no security. 

 

This, and the Fienstiens driver being a spy, its just crazy, it's like the left doesn't take securing secrets seriously!

But muh blue wave!!!

 

In last nights primary in Florida, 100,000 more Republicans turned out and voted for their respective gubernatorial and senate candidate than Democrats.

This despite being assured by the media and polling groups that Democrats are SOOOOOO energized this mid-term election.

 

And in Arizona, 80,000 more Republicans voted.

And these are two swing states that the DNC is banking on turning or keeping Blue.

I have had far more Democrat than Republican campaign workers knocking on my door. 

All for very local stuff though.

That can easily and likely is intended to be read as the current laws being so bad that they're practically just useless text for show.

 

But you know, "GOTCHAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

What’s the context of the quote? Other than - I assume Trump? - speaks like a New Yorker?

[Sturgeon]

I feel like every time there's a hilarious Trump quote somebody needs to post an equally ridiculous LBJ quote.

We live in a post context world, just look at Count Dankula. Context is born from toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, and white privilege. We must do away with context and the oppression it brings.

Trump: I'm going to prevent the siphoning of wealth from the US to China

 

Literally does exactly that

 

Can't argue with results, I guess.
