Stormy Daniels vows to testify before Congress…
a porn star testifies before congress, the jokes write themselves, this is gonna be meme-taastic!
@ coldwarrior:
If Congress were smart – shut up – they wouldn’t touch her with a barge pole.
As it is, what could she testify to that they don’t already know? Including her bra size.
Her husband is dumping her and trying to take the kid. If her lawyer is smart – shut up – she’s being advised to keep her mouth shut.
I live in a different universe, don’t I?

Their feeble attempt is going to involve the McDougal Enquirer angle.

Ex-Nuncio Accuses Pope Francis of Failing to Act on McCarrick’s Abuse
In a written testimony, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò claims Pope Francis withdrew sanctions against Archbishop Theodore McCarrick.
Edward Pentin
In an extraordinary 11-page written testament, a former apostolic nuncio to the United States has accused several senior prelates of complicity in covering up Archbishop Theodore McCarrick’s allegations of sexual abuse, and has claimed that Pope Francis knew about sanctions imposed on then-Cardinal McCarrick by Pope Benedict XVI but chose to repeal them.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, 77, who served as apostolic nuncio in Washington D.C. from 2011 to 2016, said that in the late 2000s, Benedict had “imposed on Cardinal McCarrick sanctions similar to those now imposed on him by Pope Francis” and that Viganò personally told Pope Francis about those sanctions in 2013.
Archbishop Viganò said in his written statement, simultaneously released to the Register and other media, (see full text below) that Pope Francis “continued to cover” for McCarrick and not only did he “not take into account the sanctions that Pope Benedict had imposed on him” but also made McCarrick “his trusted counselor.” Viganò said that the former archbishop of Washington advised the Pope to appoint a number of bishops in the United States, including Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago and Joseph Tobin of Newark.

gee, what was the first clue?
The Church has been a haven for monsters for generations. Nuns tossing babies into cesspits, etc. The Pope will do nothing, he has bigger fish to fry, like destroying national borders. The dead, maimed, and damaged are beyond help so why bother. He’s like “Q Anon”. TRUST THE PLAN!!
yeah, no.
I’m not clear on this. I hope this doesn’t mean they intend to DRIVE.
The website for McCain’s office said the senator’s body will lie in state and have funeral services in Arizona on Wednesday and Thursday.
The procession will then head to Washington, D.C., where McCain will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
There will then be a procession past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and a funeral service at Washington National Cathedral. A private funeral is planned at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
‘procession’? From Arizona to D.C.? Good lord.

@ lobo91:
I have started to believe ALL of this was cooked up between Rosenweasel and the upper echelons of the FBI after Hillary’s loss, right down to the Senate Committee raising a stink about Sessions having drinks with the Russian Ambassador (Rosenweasel calls Franken: “We need to you and the others to make an issue about that cocktail party and push for Sessions to recuse himself regarding anything to do with Hillary’s emails or Russia; otherwise we are never going to get the Special Counsel”)
And Comey’s firing. He says the reason he was happy to get fired was that it would trigger a special counsel. Wait a minute – ROSENWEASEL was the one who recommended you be fired, Dickwad. Why would you think he’d appoint a Special Counsel. Unless it was pre-arranged that he would.

not sure which post you’re referring to, but thanks! Glad you’re here cuz – other than Trump not being able to grant pardons for state convictions – what’s the rationale for moving this stuff from federal to state? Different criteria for evidence? Different rules for evidence? I’m scratching my head.
And…we can cross our fingers as hard as we want hoping Trump declassifies docs, but the longer he waits, the more time they have to destroy the docs.
@ eaglesoars:
Post No. 5. I should have quoted it. Becuz I LOVED it.
As for the state actions – I think it primarily is the “pardon effect”. If I had to hazard a guess, they believe that one of the reasons no one is “talking” is because they believe that Trump will pardon them if they don’t and should somehow be convicted of some crime. So remove the Pardon enticement and they somehow think these individuals will start singing.
To me, this reeks of desperation. They really do have nothing. What they are trying to do is muddy the waters surrounding Trump come election time. Since we know Mueller is basically trying to write an “impeachment” report, it will all come to naught if the Democrats don’t take control of the House. I think they KNOW they will never get the conviction in the Senate, but they want to hinder his 2020 re-election chances.
It’s not working though. Polls released after last week’s brouhaha show support for Trump is undiminished.
So the left, the MSM and even the lukewarm Trump supporters on Twitter are pissed that the U.S. Flags have been raised back to full staff following the death of McCain. They were lowered for the regulation day of death and day after per the U.S. Code. Of course, Presidential proclamation can require them to be lowered for a longer period (i.e., for the death of Barbara Bush, the shooting at Parkland, etc.)
I have two takes on this – either (1) because it all occurred over the weekend, the requisite Proclamation was not accomplished and Trump may rectify this now that he’s back in DC, or (2) why the hell should he? McCain lied about overturning Obamacare, lied to his constituents repeatedly, smeared his opponents and was instrumental in getting that fake dossier to the FBI (and you will never convince me that he did it “on his own” and not because some Hillary operative asked him to).
Oh, and the left and press is equally incensed that he was spotted on the golf course 17 hours after McCain’s death. Of course, we forget the Obama standard – jet off to Vegas while your ambassador is being tortured and butchered and hit the links upon the beheading of an American journalist by ISIS.

They’re going after his business – NY based business. What if they think they can pose such a serious threat to his business – and his family, e.g., Don Jr. – that they can ‘convince’ him to not even run in 2020?
Also, given that Lanny Davis LIED about what Michael Cohen ‘knows’ – Cohen should fire his ass. But he won’t. Because if he does, the plea deal goes south and Cohen gets nailed on tax fraud. Davis was forced on Cohen, he’s part of the deal. The only question remaining is whether or not Davis sells him so far down the river, Cohen can ask for reversal based on incompetent counsel.
Back in the real world, there’s this:
A Mexican official told CNBC on Monday that trade talks with the U.S. have wrapped up, adding that an announcement could come later in the day.

Chris Plante is RAGING. He read the headlines that said Trump violated the U.S. code and he believed it – and criticized Trump early in the broadcast – until he checked. Now, realizing he got suckered, he’s on a roll.
@ eaglesoars:
Cohen should fire Lanny Davis for telling him to plead guilty to those supposed campaign violations that were in no may a crime. But if Cohen hired a Clinton operative to counsel him, then he deserves what he gets. There are PLENTY of better lawyers that could have handled this for him. Wonder if Lanny “solicited” the business. And yes, insufficiency of counsel for telling him to cop to something that wasn’t a crime is a real possibility.
@ eaglesoars:
The difference between Trump and Obama would be that Trump might very well request a lowering of the flag while McCain’s funeral processing travels East and would say that it was an oversight.
Obama would huff and puff and let the media cover for him.
somebody’s algorithms are hosed. For the past 3 days, all the targeted cosmetic ads I get are for black women in their 30s.
NAFTA/Mexico news is breaking now. no details yet except trump is saying good deal for manufacturers and farmers..
@ eaglesoars:
I saw that there was to be an announcement at 8:00 PDT. Rumors were that it had to do with Mexico and NAFTA.
You know, it’s a damn shame the media won’t be honest. Great things are being done for this country – REALLY great things that could have happened years ago if Bobo the Socialist hadn’t been in charge – and unless you have some tangential connection to “conservative” media, you would never know it.
Trump on now
If it’s a presser, what do you think the over/under will be that the first question will focus on the flag at half staff for McCain?

no real details on the deal. And Trump didn’t take questions, so…….
President Donald Trump said he would terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement and sign a new trade accord with Mexico, potentially leaving Canada out of the bloc.
Trump announced the agreement with Mexico in a hastily arranged Oval Office event Monday with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto joining by conference call. Pena Nieto said he is “quite hopeful” Canada would soon be incorporated in the revised agreement, while Trump said that remains to be seen.
Trump said he would speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “in a little while” and hoped to begin negotiations with him “almost immediately.”
Canada froze itself out when Trudy stabbed Trump in the back at G7. Freeland, a lying pos journalist pretending to be Minister of everything, tried to stab Lighthizer in the back in DC. Chimps in charge of the zoo.
wut?
A major shipping route located between Oman and Iran where nearly one-third of the world’s sea-traded oil passes through daily may become a new flashpoint after a top Iranian Navy general said Monday that the country has taken full control of the Strait of Hormuz.
The head of the navy of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Alireza Tangsiri, said that Iran had full control of both the Persian Gulf itself and the Strait of Hormuz that leads into it, Reuters reported.

suffice to say I don’t believe the Iranian report on this. OTOH, they could be losing a lot of rubber dinghies in short order.
@ yenta-fada:
oh,hello! yeah, one of Christia’s lackey’s emailed that “Canada’s signature is required” (too lazy to look f or the link)
