A nod to Banzai there for old timers like me.

Old thread here.

Question is, is it Mueller time yet? Anyone fancy placing a bet on when Trump will exit the POTUS role?

My bet: 20 March 2019.

North Carolina's attempts at #VoterSuppression keep getting stymied by the courts. So now, NC's legislature is remaking the courts.

This is an important, if chilling, article. And echoes what the GOP seems to be doing at the federal level.

Meet Darrell Issa’s handpicked successor, Diane Harkey, who is just as bad as Issa in so many ways... Harkey stands with Issa, Trump and the anti-California GOP agenda. She even refused to vote in opposition of offshore drilling along our coast! www.10news.com/news/rep-darrell-issa-endorses-diane-harkey-to-take-over-his-49th-congressional-district-seat

Judiciary Democrats want to share Trump Jr. testimony with Mueller - Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse & Richard Blumenthal suggested the president's son may have made false statements to their committee

Just been watching lots of Maddow. She did a vair interesting piece about 45's 'Inauguration Fund' and the apparent machinations of accounting for it. Try to have a watch if you can. Smile

What was particularly heartening about it is that people are not ceasing to watch and to delve. Perhaps it was thought that they would?

Bad, I believe they do - wasn’t roman Polanski arrested on US orders in Switzerland a few years ago?

(I actually meant that I’m currently about an hour from Davos pondering options that wouldn’t leave me fired/in jail, but I’m sure the Orange One is doing exactly the same!)

Someone told him he 'mustn't', sounds like.

PerkingFaintly · 25/01/2018 00:00

Erm, Donny, US security services were investigating suspected Russian attacks on the US. Why would you, Donald J Trump, need to "fight back" against that?

Hmm?

This Mueller chat is not going to go well for him I hope fear.

AcrossthePond55 · 25/01/2018 01:07

gin Switzerland refused to extradite Polanski.

A cursory Google shows that many financial criminals flee to Switzerland because they are (apparently) known for refusing to extradite. They also have a 'duality' clause that says that what the person is charged with must also be a crime in Switzerland. Apparently they have (or had) pretty lax financial and tax crimes laws.

Hey!!! Maybe Scrotus is planning on not coming back from Davos!!!! Maybe that's why Melania didn't go with him!!!!!

Ok, I had my 15 seconds of fantasizing and happy dreams. Back to earth now.
