So now Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen says he paid Stormy Daniels out of his own pocket the $130,000 to keep her quiet. of course he won't say why he did this...

While he claims not to have been reimbursed for the payment, I'm sure that by some coincidence he's getting $130,000 more in salary/retainer somewhere along the line for his work on totally separate issues.

The "Russian" ground troops are actually Russian mercenaries fighting for Assad. The only support that the Russian military is providing is air cover.
Probably why this isn't bigger news than it is. |

I think everyone knows Trump is just a passenger at this point. He’s not for or against anything, other than being for whatever feeds his ego in the next five minutes. The US government is on autopilot, we’re just left to hope it doesn’t fly us into a mountain before 2020. |

I don't think they are mutually inclusive. If you remember there was information released that he warned Russia about impending strikes after the gas attacks over there so they could, in theory, ensure their troops were not present. Knowing that rebels are using Russian equipment I really doubt that we would avoid destroying anything Russian on the chance that there may be a Russian crew manning it.

Syria absolutely should be getting more attention. In addition to this, over the last week the Israelis shot down an Iranian drone, the Syrians shot down an Israeli f-16, the Kurds shot down a Turkish helicopter, Erdogan has threatened the U.S., and France has threatened strikes.

I know the NYPost is a rag piece of shit for a paper, but this former Army officer sees what happened in Syria a little differently.

And Erdogan moving against the faction of kurds doing much of the ground work in battling ISIS. Now, that group isn't a bunch of lovable underdogs fighting the good fight out of the pureness of their heart, but the way they were used by the Western powers as human shields and now (when they are no longer needed) being left to die a slow death is pretty disgusting.

Well after all this publicity around her, glad to see Stormy Daniels is using her new found fame to build herself and woman up. Made the front page of the local newspaper...because she will be appearing in a strip club in North Myrtle Beach in March.

Here's her story from years ago. Stormy Daniels' Full Interview: Inside Her Affair With Donald Trump - In Touch Weekly The clincher to confirm is Trump's then bodyguard. I think he has already spoken to Mueller but it was on the Russia interference and not infidelity. Don't think its illegal (?) but certainly embarrassing and a distraction. Bottom line, I don't think it adds any significant "hurt" to Trump as the GOP is already (currently) aligned with Trump. The only consequence is Melania but think she already knows as she was likely the other woman back then. |

And the next domino to fall might be Bannon-after stiff-arming the House Intelligence committee by refusing to answer all but a selected number of questions, he was downright chatty with Mueller-spent something like 20 hours with him this week.

Perhaps because the House committee can't, or at least won't, send him to jail while Mueller very likely will if he has the evidence.

Exactly. Dems on the House commitee want to charge him with contempt, but Repubs likely won't go along. If he hadn't cooperate with Mueller, he'd likely be in jail right now.

Unemployed since May. Got contract non-renewed. Unemployment runs out this week. No extensions available. I figure I've got about 3-4 months left in savings before I'm either out on the street or have to move back in with my parents in the Midwest.

Sorry to hear that, Izulde. I'm on the administration side of things rather than the academic side, but I hear from my friends who are academics-in-administration how challenging it is to get a solid foothold in that world. I hope something turns up for you soon.

So Trump completely glosses over that indictments were handed out against numerous Russians for interfering in our elections to gloat that since this started in 2014 before he had announced he was running for President, that this completely exonerates him. So I guess the investigation is over and no more indictments are coming...Well at least he finally had to admit it wasn't a hoax.
