Not Trump related, but because we had a shutdown, and the fact he is a member of Team R, and those cocksuckers don't give a shit, might as well put this here:

He is, quite frankly, the best negotiator of all time. Just ask him.Â
Hopefully Schumer's response was, "You'll take nothing and like it."

I know I'm not partisan when I look at shit like this and realize that I just don't care about which POTUS/party blows money on holidays, family travel, secret service protection after office, family security, etc. Yeah, it adds up to real money but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the overall abuse of the Executive Branch/Administrative State. I don't mind the money being spent to keep them at ease and safe, as well as their loved ones. Because the alternative is to have someone taken and the president be compromised. Or worse yet, a Carter or Bush being taken into foreign hands and interrogated. No telling what they'd give up due to pain or threats to their family members. We and the Swiss keep the world's secrets, and that costs money. And it also requires lavish vacations. It's pennies on the dollars compared to the downside of something bad happening. Say for instance, we spend a lot on such measures but the sitting POTUS were to leak out over the interwebs something sensitive to our position in the world. Thankfully, that could never happen...
I think it's a little different when the president is using tax dollars to pay his own private company for room and board for secret service staff who aren't getting paid during a government shutdown.

I find three things curious: 1) that Earl seemed so confident this guy was no longer going to be permitted to stay at this Doubletree; 2) that this video started when it did; and 3) that the video cut off when it did.Â
There are three videos in that Instagram post. You can follow the link to his Instagram, or the link to the Oregonian article in the previous post, to view all of them.Â

Not arguing that it is always 100%, but it being "a game of telephone" in the post I quoted is way too simplistic.  I can agree with you on the 90%+ threshold, that's great.  There may be a small amount of details that are wrong, but this guy, at this time, wasn't going to fuck around.  Dude spent his career in Russia or collecting contacts in Russia.  I'm going to say he probably left out a lot of stuff that was more of the "investigate further" variety than he put in. Â
It should also give skeptics pause that the Republicans who originally hired Steele did so because he is a Russia expert.  Obviously it wasn't too big of a secret among NY/political circles that Trump was already bought by Russia.Â
Agreed. See the recording of McCarthy and Ryan regarding Rohrabacher and Trump being on the Russian payroll. If the Trump campaign wasn't colluding with the Russian gov't to some extent then Steele wouldn't have had any intelligence on the subject to gather in the first place.

Is anyone else rooting for him to crater the economy? It feels rather strange hoping he causes extreme financial pain for most Americans, myself included, but I feel like it’s the surest way to end this madness and sink the GOP for decades.
Rooting? No. Expecting? Yes.
What I'm rooting for is that the middle class dipshits who keep voting for Republicans against their own financial interests finally wake the fuck up when it happens AGAIN and realize they've been played for suckers. Maybe the third time will be the charm.Â

Does he know how many American citizens are currently in Mexico visiting family over the holidays?
Lol. Good one. I assume that was a rhetorical question. But if they have family in Mexico then he'd probably rather they just stayed there anyway.Â

The guy is the best in the business and was originally hired by Republicans worried about Trump. He was the damn station chief for MI6 in Moscow.  People don't pay you the type of coin if he just makes up shit.  He's not some political hack in Florida looking for weirdos who fake their Liberty University degree to be a State Senator.  This guy is the real deal and I seriously doubt he's going to screw his reputation and future earnings potential to make shit up.  He's a professional spy with serious contacts.  If its not true, he's not going to put it in the report people pay a lot of money for. Â
The chance that the dossier, or any other intelligence product for that matter, being 100% accurate is virtually impossible. That's not how intelligence works. You get the information you can and assess probabilities. If you're 98% accurate then you hit a goddamn home run. If the percentage of accuracy in the Steele dossier is over 90% then he's earned his reputation as being one of the best in the business.Â

Or played on the radio. There's one from a local auto dealer that is so obnoxious and preachy that I either change the channel or turn off the radio. I just heard it again today. I would never buy a car from that asshole.Â

At this point, how many of the bigger points of the dossier have been verified vs. unverified? Hard to prove a negative, but have any even been shown to be unlikely due to verifiable contradictions?
Nothing in the dossier has been proven to be false.Â

I think the previews look bad. I've seen Carell promoting it on one of late night talk shows. He didn't change my impression.Â

Portland, OR Doubletree hotel calls cops, kicks out guest for telephoning while black.
https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2018/12/portland-hotel-calls-cops-on-black-guest-in-lobby.html
Jermaine Massey had just seen Travis Scott perform at the Moda Center on Sunday night and returned to his hotel when he saw that his mother had called.
She lives on the East Coast, so he assumed if she called so late, something must be wrong. So he sat down in the lobby of the DoubleTree Hotel in the Lloyd District to take the call before going up to his room.
Massey recounted what came next in a series of Instagram videos that have gone viral. Massey, from Kent, Washington, says in them that he was targeted by a security guard because he is black and that this led to Massey being kicked out of the hotel and having to find a new one near midnight.
(...)
One of Massey’s videos shows where he was sitting, tucked away in a group of comfortable chairs away from the main part of the lobby. Massey, 34, said he was sitting there when a white security guard approached him and interrupted Massey’s phone call to ask if Massey was a staying at the hotel.
Massey said he was. The guard then asked what room number.
According to Massey, that is when he became irritated and told the guard that he was on a phone call and that he doesn’t remember his room number off the top of his head.
The guard then had a manager call police. In the recording of the incident Massey posted, the guard says that he was calling the cops because Massey was loitering, despite Massey holding his room key card.
Massey said in a video after the incident that the guard told him he thought Massey was a threat to other people’s safety.
Massey, who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with bright lettering, jeans and sneakers, contended that the white guests who were walking in and out of the hotel and milling about the lobby were not stopped. Several times, he suggests that he was singled out because he was black, to which neither the manager or guard responds.
After the manager called the police, he asked Massey and the guard what happened and told Massey to “calm down” and that the guard had the right to alert police and wouldn’t have done so without cause
I'd say he was being pretty calm in the video, given the circumstances, when the manager told him to "calm down." Â I guess the manager thought he was getting a little uppity.Â

Right. It's the time-tested strategy of finding a bunch of people with the capability of solving the problem and hiring them to solve it. Pretty simple, really. It's surprising that it's not employed more often.Â
