Losing Drudge reminded me of LBJ's observation after watching Cronkite's 1968 Vietnam war editorial on TV.

"If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America."

^ Yep. He’s lost Drudge.

MAGA!!!

He’s also lost his appeal to keep his financial records from being scrutinized.

Trump loses appeal to withhold financial records from Democrats

House Democrats had issued a subpoena to obtain records from the president's accounting firm.


President Donald Trump lost a key court decision in his bid to block a subpoena from House Democrats pressing to see his financial records.


The 2-1 ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stems from a case where Trump sued to block Democrats from seeing a vast trove of materials as Congress probes Trump over potential conflicts of interest and payments from foreign governments.

Trump says "I don't know anything" about the two arrested. You can be sure he was fully briefed on the deep shinola he is in before those statements! Boy that guy can lie!

^ Just read somewhere that Trump had dinner with those two a few months back. He can’t deny he didn’t know them.

Let me find a link.

It’s in this BuzzFeed article from July of this year.

Reporting directly to Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, two operators waged a brazen back-channel campaign that could thrust another foreign country to the center of the next US election.

This is why I need to understand Trump ... well Trump's ego.

When things close in, as they are for him ATM, he throws some bones to Wall Street and the ups and downs of Wall Street affect my investments.

So, we have, overnight ...

Trump says US has come to a substantial phase one deal with China

Key Points

• The U.S. has come to a “very substantial phase one deal” with China in the high-stakes trade negotiations between the two economic superpowers, President Donald Trump said Friday.
• “Phase two will start almost immediately” after the first phase is signed, Trump said in the Oval Office alongside Chinese Vice Premier Liu He.
• Both sides in the long-running talks, which resumed at the top level this week, have signaled optimism about coming to an agreement of some sort in the near future.

Asked what changed between these trade negotiations and prior discussions — talks broke down in May, for instance, leading to a sharp rise in tensions and the imposition of tariffs on billions’ worth of goods — Trump said it’s because this deal is “bigger.”

Liu, asked the same question by CNBC, summed up the difference as “cooperation.”
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also announced the Oval Office that the White House has scrapped a new round of tariffs on imports of Chinese goods, which were set to go into effect Oct. 15.

Hopefully the 60% or so of Americans that don't support baldy orange cunto and his ilk will realise how badly their lack of getting off their arse to vote has damaged the country, and they will vote these Republican parasites out in 2020.

But of course they all watch the telly, read the internet, and can't tell the difference between the fact and fiction therein.

Sounds like they've simply wangled a way to buy some soy beans and some pork (which they desperately need).

Probably the only journalist left on Fox that didn't parrot the baldy orange cunto line.

The guy's a hero, speaking the truth on Fox when most there are more interested in being the PR firm for the White House.

My question though is why was Barr meeting with Rupert....what could they have to discuss?

What they want to put in front of baldy orange cunto while he has his phone in his hand?

Hmmm? Close your eyes and think of Roy Cohn.

This really is quite uncanny:

Quite frightening really. I wonder if he had lottery numbers?

The main character, Buzz Windrip, appeals to voters with a mix of crass language and nativist ideology. Once elected, he solidifies his power by energizing his base against immigrants, people on welfare, and the liberal press. The novel has been called “frighteningly contemporary” in the wake of the Trump campaign and election.
