  1. Right, because of this clown show everyone probably has the title of senior whatever. They hand them out like gold stickers In this administration, if you've stayed on board for more than 3 months, by definition you're "senior."
  2. Here you go: Bash Role on WH Policy Team
  3. On the other hand, she's apparently worked for Cruz, Trump and Paxton in the last couple of years, so she's not exactly carrying the Jewish or Mexican banners.
  4. Who knows why she was doing it, but it does seem intentional. If you don't believe it, check out the video above - it's 44 seconds. Try to put your hand in the position her hand is in for 44 seconds. It just doesn't seem like something anyone does for 44 seconds unless they're doing it on purpose.
  5. Yep - she's got quite a resume trifecta: (1) deputy director of policy and communications for U.S. Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign, (2) Special Assistant to President Trump for regulatory reform, legal and immigration policy and (3) senior counsel to Ken Paxton. Wow, if accurate.
  6. Definitely not Kavanaugh's daughter. The pic in Retread's post had a link with more details on her: Zina Bash
  7. Also on Hulu for free, if you're already subscribed.

    Cruz vs Beto

    Looks like the Texas GOP took down the tweet linking to Ted's ad for some reason. Cruz's ads are still on Youtube, though - but the comments are disabled on all of them. Are they sensitive that everyone can call them on their bullshit on Twitter? Such bitches.
  9. Uhhh, and about the guy tweeting that list: Sorta an interesting old thread. WTF indeed ....
  10. What the hell is up with the Mesa PD? I guess that nothing is going to change as long as they keep getting away with shit, even when there is bodycam video of their insanely brutal behavior (see also Daniel Shavers, Robert Johnson). I guess the prosecutor is just trying to keep this stuff under wraps as best he can to keep the national media out of his kitchen (given that it doesn't seem to matter within Mesa / Maricopa County). I suppose we should thank Sheriff Joe for what seems like it will be an enduring legacy in Maricopa County.
  11. Not just rolls - "perspective rolls." Obviously one of the best people - just not best enough.

    Cruz vs Beto

    Anti-triple meat WB? Just further proof that Cruz is a little bitch.
  13. Yeah, which is why the prosecution requested curative instructions to the jury. Apparently, the record was very clear that Ellis had okay'ed the expert staying in the courtroom.
  14. EVERY Trump bingo board was a winner on that tweet.
  15. Today's witnesses are covering the bank fraud. Some discussion of the testimony of the mortgage loan assistant thus far is covered here: WaPo Coverage of Day 8
  16. Am I the only one who reads all statements that end with "#MAGA" in Clayton Bigsby's voice?
  17. The tweet and several other sources made it sound like it was in front of the jury. If so, that is just some bullshit coming from a judge.
  18. Curious to get the resident litigators' perspective on Judge Ellis' behavior in the last couple of days, as reported by the Washington Post and others. WP on Day 5 argument with Judge Ellis I've read some people speculating that Ellis' distaste for the independent / special counsel role may be coloring his conduct a bit in this trial. How normal is this sort of behavior from judges?
  19. Yeah, but only one proceeds to lecture about everlasting damnation immediately after the "editorial."
  20. I was following the Washington Post's summary of the trial as it's going down, and if the bolded part is accurate, I find it a bit disconcerting: Is it just me, or does the fact that Judge Ellis is summarizing the defense this way seem to legitimize it as a viable defense? As we've seen all too frequently these days, the "nobody would really be that stupid" argument should seem to hold very little water with Trump and his followers these days.
  21. Maybe not full-on traitor status, but I'd add Paul Ryan, Jim Jordan and Tucker Carlson as being full-on enablers.
  22. The prosecution seems to be doing a pretty good job of using the bookkeeper to paint a picture of Manafort being in pretty dire financial straits. Interesting that all of this is right before Manafort joins the Trump campaign - working for free. While Manafort's financial situation is relevant to the case at hand as motive, I can't help but think that this might also be used in the court of public opinion to hammer home the reality that Manafort wasn't really working for free - especially given one of his biggest creditors was Oleg Deripaska. I know that the prosecutors are supposed to be avoiding mentioning Russia, but it will be interesting whether they bring up the Cypriot debt owed to Deripaska at least in passing.
  23. DNI Coats and FBI Director Wray are answering questions at the White House Briefing for those that are interested: White House Briefing Refreshing to hear something other than utter bullshit coming out at one of these things.
  24. Yeah - won't happen. When Trump falls out of power, Fox News will really hit its stride ramping up all sorts of inane conspiracy theories. The only way I see Hannity or Tucker paying is if they're convicted of some really nefarious shit or someone infiltrates Fox News and gets some video of them admitting that their followers are all a bunch of rubes - and even then they'll be able to convince 3/4 of the olds that the Deep State manufactured the video. Nope, I think we're stuck with Fox News until the olds die off and we can find a way to get the rural communities halfway educated.
