How can I watch The Good fight?

Manafort has been jailed!

Yes, I saw that earlier but thought it had already been posted. Something to do with breaking bail terms. I'd guess tampering with witnesses? I didn't check.

'Cardinal Timothy Dolan, a prominent Catholic leader in the United States, said Friday there is no biblical defense for separating families, condemning the practice as "unjust" and "un-American."'

It's on More4 to watch live.

Thanks Perking.

Yes, Lweji. Smile

It was tampering and judges don't like that at all, apparently.

Who'd have thought? Nobody knew that.

Manafort had his bail revoked for contacting potential witnesses and asking them to lie to investigators.

From an NBC News article:

But prosecutors made a new bid to toss him behind bars after uncovering evidence that allegedly shows that he and a Russian associate, Konstantin Kilimnik, used encrypted messages to reach out to two witnesses. Mueller's team said Manafort wanted the witnesses to back up his claim that prominent Europeans he hired didn't lobby for Ukraine in the U.S., which would be illegal. One of the witnesses felt it was an attempt to "suborn perjury," prosecutors said.

Giuliani again. Isn’t accepting a pardon accepting a crime was committed? Hmm And isn’t this obstruction, yet again? I do love the screen grab, though, so I made sure to include it as it adds so much context to the tweet.

Thanks Perking, the on demand doesn't go back far enough but I've found the first season is free on amazon prime.

Some wishful thinking here perhaps.

'The fact that these Trump tweets only have gotten 16,000-22,000 retweets from his followers is a sign. Trump is the boy who cried wolf.;

Is Trump using the migrant children crisis as leverage to get his wall. Good discussion, imo.

They are trying to talk to fathers whose children have been taken. Sad

BertrandRussell · 17/06/2018 17:48

Is there any sign of Melania?

BolleauxtoBankers · 17/06/2018 18:31

Thank you for telling us about the Congressmen and the ICEmen, lionheart. Maybe they are the leaders of the white chargers and hopefully many more will follow very soon?
I can't watch any of the videos. Too painful. Bastards.
Have you see this, a bus driver in Maine?

I bet she's responsible for the WH sinkhole. It was a collapsed tunnel all along.
