Sen. Blumenthal predicts multiple convictions and indictments of WH staff "early in New Year"

One Dem senator says Mueller time is coming soon.

Interviewed on CNN by Anderson Cooper, Connecticut senator and former attorney general Richard Blumenthal predicts that multiple convictions and indictments of past and present White House staff are coming “early in the New Year.”

The context: recent revelations that White House attorney McGahn and two other as-yet-unnamed high-ranking White House officials attempted to stop Sessions from recusing himself from the Russia investigation.

So Theres A Christian Version Of Netflix [VIDEO]



Via press release from Christian Newswire:

PureFlix.com, the leader in faith and family streaming video, has the perfect antidote for the winter blues: the sunny, new sitcom “Malibu Dan-The Family Man.”

“Our audience appreciates our commitment to clean content and the high production values of our original series,” said PureFlix.com CEO Greg Gudorf. “I’m thrilled to be starting the new year with ‘Malibu Dan’ because it delivers on both of those elements, along with providing a couple of laughs along the way.”

“Malibu Dan” follows PureFlix.com’s latest original series “Hilton Head Island,” which debuted in late fall 2017 and became one of the most-watched series on the platform. It was the first streaming “hope” opera and followed the lives of the fictional Trisk family. While it featured plenty of power plays and family drama, it also focused on the family’s faith and power of prayer.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: You Are Mentally Unstable If Youre Not Celebrating The Glorious Leader



“Look, I think it’s absolutely insane to think all of these individuals, reporters and others, who suddenly have a medical degree and think that they can diagnose somebody, many times who they’ve never even had a conversation with. It’s absolutely outrageous to make these types of accusations, and it’s simply untrue, and it’s sad that people are going and making these desperate attempts to attack the president.

“What I think is really mentally unstable is people that don’t see the positive impact that this president is having on the country. The economy is booming, we’re crushing ISIS, day after day things are getting better for Americans all over this country. And I think it’s really sad that these people don’t see that, and that they’re not celebrating and trying to join in the president’s efforts to turn our country around.” – Sarah Huckabee Sanders, speaking today on Fox News.

Lawyer Requests Trump-Friendly Jury Pool For White Anti-Muslim Terrorists



This could be the most brazen request ever made in a courtroom! In the western Kansas town of Garden City, three men were arrested in October 2016, charged with plotting to bomb a mosque and an apartment complex because it housed Somali refugees. Terrorist behavior.

In an attempt to get the three men excused from all charges, the defense attorney is trying a new strategy. He has asked the judge to allow him to stack the jury pool with people from a more rural part of the state where people are “more likely to have voted for President Donald Trump.”

The men, Curtis Wayne Allen, 49; Patrick Eugene Stein, 47; and Gavin Wayne Wright, 49, are being charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiracy against civil rights. Because their plot was foiled after an eight-month-long FBI investigation, they didn’t actually get to blow anything up or kill anyone.

Trump: ABC News reporter should have been fired!

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Saturday took aim at a reporter who made a mistake in his reporting on over a month ago, sending a fresh tweet decrying the reporter’s ability to do his job.

“Brian Ross, the reporter who made a fraudulent live newscast about me that drove the Stock Market down 350 points (billions of dollars), was suspended for a month but is now back at ABC NEWS in a lower capacity. He is no longer allowed to report on Trump. Should have been fired!” Trump tweeted.

Egypt could make atheism illegal



Lawmakers in Egypt are seriously considering passing a law that would make atheism illegal.

Blasphemy is already illegal in Egypt, and people are frequently arrested for insulting or defaming religion under the country’s strict laws. But the newly proposed rule would make it illegal for people not to believe in God, even if they don’t talk about it.

Have you no shame, sir?



So this is what we’ve become? This is the sort of compassion-free pablum that’s Making America Great Again? Why let truth or context get in the way of perfectly good propaganda, eh?

It takes a sociopathic personality utterly devoid of class and compassion to use the picture of a grieving woman and mother who’s lost the man in her life and the father to her child to war. That’s not “WHY WE STAND,” nor is it “So beautiful.” It’s sad and tragic and deserving of every ounce of compassion, love, and kindness we can muster. Instead, this woman’s pain is being used to push a political agenda. I’m not certain it gets more craven, insensitive, and cruel than that.

Trump lawyers try to halt book's release as White House fights to contain firestorm

Source: The Guardian

Lawyers for Donald Trump moved on Thursday to try to shut down the explosive new book which has exposed the chaos behind the scenes at the White House.

Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is due to be released next Tuesday, but after extracts from the book were first made public by the Guardian, the Trump White House has been thrown into a frenzy.

First, Trump issued a remarkable personal statement denouncing Steve Bannon, his one-time confidant, who he castigated as self-aggrandizing and not a critical figure in his presidency.

In letter Trumps ICE pick issues chilling warning to California

Donald Trump’s pick to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a chilling warning to California to “hang on tight” as he threatened a crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities, also suggesting politicians who back sanctuary status should be charged with crimes.

------------------

“We gotta take [sanctuary cities] to court, and we gotta start charging some of these politicians with crimes," Homan said in an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto, explaining he believed politicians who pushed sanctuary city legislation should be held "personally accountable” for their actions.

--------------

“California better hold on tight. There’s about to see a lot more special agents, a lot more deportation hours in the state of California,” he added.

They knew before they voted for him and they did not care. So now the world has this......

We knew. We knew before the election that Trump was as unstable as any unstable man could be. We knew he was boorish and petulant and not too bright. We knew he did not see too much of a problem with nuking Europe if the need arose and he certainly did not see the point of having a nuclear arsenal unless you were happy to use it. We knew that this man should not be in charge of the big red button of doom, and therefore shouted from the rooftops that this man should not be elected.

What we now know is that the wankers that actually voted for this buffoon concede that they knew all along exactly what kind of man -child Trump is and yet they voted for him anyway. Reportedly they just wanted to shake shit up. Not only could this be described as white privilege writ large, but one the biggest collective selfish acts that 63 million people committed against the rest of the world. They knew what he was and they voted for him anyway.

And now we have this:



Boom!
