'Aides quietly stunned by Trump's respectful handling of Kavanaugh accuser'

In recent days, Trump has bragged about the positive coverage he's received for his response, according to multiple sources. That response has contributed to him continuing to say Christine Blasey Ford should come forward with her story, they said.
... Aides have noted that the President's measured response is partly because the allegation isn't against him.

'I was sexually assaulted in the mid-80’s at the home of one of Kavanaugh’s schoolmates. The host of that party added his name to this letter to the Judiciary Committee attesting to Kavanaugh’s character.'

'S.C. Congressman Ralph Norman, a Republican up for re-election, told a crowd of people at a debate Thursday in Rock Hill, that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an associate justice of the Supreme Court, said she had been assaulted by Abraham Lincoln.'

The Kav. yearbook extracts read out on today's Velshi and Ruhle are revealing of the attitudes of Kav.'s set, lion. Not surprised his mates don't want to get involved, or that he has needed 3 day's prep for his testimony.

The GDPR is now live. Guess who has copped the UK's very first notice under it? Couldn't have happened to nicer folks.

Vote Leave data firm hit with first ever GDPR notice
www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45589004

AggregateIQ (AIQ) was accused of processing people's data "for purposes which they would not have expected".
[...]
AIQ is a small Canadian data firm that uses data to target online ads at voters during public polls. It was paid nearly £2.7m ($3.6m) by Vote Leave to target ads at prospective voters during the Brexit referendum campaign. It was also used by pro-Brexit youth group BeLeave.

The ICO said that although the data was gathered before 25 May, when the GDPR regulations came into effect, it was concerned about the "continued retention and processing" of data after that date. This, it said, meant GDPR applied to AIQ's handling of that information.

The emails also show that he hasn't evolved since high school.

'Federal officers have arrested dozens of immigrants who came forward to take care of immigrant children in government custody, and the Trump administration is pledging to go after more.'

Comments on the above are not nice...

I mean the open letter.

ABC News has also learned that Cohen is also cooperating with a separate probe by New York state authorities into the inner workings of the Trump family charity and the Trump Organization, where Cohen served as an executive vice president and special counsel to Trump for 10 years.
This may be one route to Stinky and the Stinkyspores modelling those snazzy orange jumpsuits one day.

Would Trumpy, jump, before he was —impeached— pushed, do we think?

Sorry crops through not worked.

Cross through. Grr

Kicking and screaming or pleading the good of the country?

Hard to say ...

Stupid fuckwit.
