I had missed this, apparently most Democrats have taken the bait.
All they need to do is NOT TALK about Space Force and it'll die a slow death. But it's everywhere now because the media can't ignore it.

Plot twist in the Manafort case.

Manafort was working for US and EU interests and against Russian interests.

Yeah, it was discussed back when he first joined the campaign but Manafort is a globe trotting networker. Back in 2013 French justice looked into him and his participation to the failed 1995 presidential bid by then Prime Minister Balladur (littered with all manners of occult financing). A single short article by France Inter, who calls him a "spin doctor" lists among his contacts :

Ziad Takkiedine, a similar French shadow lobbyist and middle man.
Abdul Rahman el-Assir, same as above, from Lebanon. Manafort is the godfather of his son apparently, and introduced him to Colony Capital. El-Assir claims to have paid Manafort as a consultant on US politics back then and would pass the insights to the Saudi riyal falily.
El-Assir says Manafort introduced him in 1988 to Benazir Bhutto, then Prime Minister of Pakistan.
And I believe there's many others, on top of his US and Ukrainian contacts. I doubt he's the kind of guy who limit himself to one client at a time.

The weirdest part in all of this is that he accepted an official position (and high profile too)in the campaign, really.

It would be amazing if Manafory was
1) reccomended by Russia
2) constantly warned Trump not to get mixed up wth then
3) trump ignored him and ordered him to work with them

 That said, there’s also stories about Mueller suggesting to Yanukovych to open fire on the protesters. So finding a source that says “no he was actually pro-West “ doesn’t really clear things up.

Edit: also highly possible that Manafort was highly pro-West until running into money troubles and then slowly got wrapped up wth thewrong people.

Quote
Donald Trump is a “racist” who has used the “N-word” repeatedly, Omarosa Manigault Newman, once the most prominent African American in the White House, claims in a searing memoir.

The future US president was caught on mic uttering the taboo racial slur “multiple times” during the making of his reality TV show The Apprentice and there is a tape to prove it, according to Manigault Newman, citing three unnamed sources.

Trump has been haunted from around the time of his election in 2016 by allegations that outtakes from the reality TV show exist in which he is heard saying the N-word and using other offensive language.

In her book, Unhinged, a copy of which was obtained by the Guardian ahead of its publication next week, the former Apprentice participant insists that the reports are true, although she does not say she heard him use the word herself.
Quote
At the time, she writes, she felt a “growing realization that Donald Trump was indeed a racist, a bigot and a misogynist. My certainty about the N-word tape and his frequent uses of that word were the top of a high mountain of truly appalling things I’d experienced with him, during the last two years in particular.”

Recalling her sudden and unceremonious departure, she writes: “It had finally sunk in that the person I’d thought I’d known so well for so long was actually a racist. Using the N-word was not just the way he talks but, more disturbing, it was how he thought of me and African Americans as a whole.”

Quote
Michael Avenatti has arrived in Iowa.

After three canceled flights and a 700-mile road trip, the lawyer known for representing adult film actress Stormy Daniels in her case against Republican President Donald Trump, is ready to put his stake in the ground in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.

"I’m exploring a run for the presidency of the United States, and I wanted to come to Iowa and listen to people and learn about some issues that are facing the citizens of Iowa and do my homework," Avenatti told the Des Moines Register in an interview Thursday.

Avenatti, who rose to prominence as an outspoken critic of the president, toured the Iowa State Fair Thursday posing for selfies with fans. He is scheduled to speak at the Democratic Wing Ding fundraiser Friday night in Clear Lake.

Her district is like 80-20 Dem.
Though it should be assumed she's the favorite, it is probably worth noting that Crowley is still on the ballot for the Working Families Party and has stated he won't remove himself. In 2014 he got twice the number of votes in the general as total people voted in the primary in 2018. He still has $1.2 million in his campaign account.

Perhaps most vitally of all, he has Joe Lieberman's endorsement.

“A lot of people in the black community are recognizing that the Democrat party is throwing them overboard for illegal aliens,” Salcedo on Fox & Friends. “The Democrat party has been so good at promoting abortion inside of the back community — has been so good about curtailing the population of the black community it’s no longer a growing demographic in this country as compared to the rest of the country.”

He continued: “So the Democrats see their future of importing illegal aliens from all over the world into this country and those in the black community here in the United States are witnessing the Democrat party chucking them overboard and then have you got Donald Trump coming in with a prosperity message basically saying hey, look, what have you got to lose?”

Salcedo went on to say that conservatives can win over minorities by simply “talking directly to the folks” and “bringing the prosperity message that the Republican Party has been so timid and shy at bringing into these communities.”

Conservatives are always so timid and shy about sharing their amazing ideas with the rest of us.  :-[

I find Ted Cruz's twitter comebacks to be pretty pretty pretty good, all things considered. He (or the staffer) actually responds to stuff like that and often with a playful/topical joke. You don't expect that kind of humanity from the Zodiac Killer really.

They won't ever turn anyone into a corn cob but they are often worth a sensible chuckle. If I had to follow an elected Republican on Twitter, he wouldn't be the worst choice. Because there'd also be the unintentional comedy.

IIRC, when he ran for DNC chair(? maybe it was after?) there were whispers about that in some of the lower Opportunity Democrat circles but nobody really followed up thinking it was just standard rumormongering. I remember an accusation that Pelosi's office was "suggesting" it to "journalists" possibly when Ellison was talking about running for Speaker/Minority Leader.

On a random note, he's a lot older than I assumed, 55. Thought he was like 40ish.

I can’t believe the GOP spin on Omarosa....

Like, I agree she’s scummy... but whose idea was it to hire her? We all know who came up with the idea, and t wasn’t John Kelly or Obama.

Edit: also I don’t think Omarosa had any clearance, so like, why is she even in a SCIF? Sure this reflects poorly on her, but everybody already knew she was a joke and a charlatan. Finding out that Omarosa was committed to fuckery is not news. What’s news is how much you he supposedly serious people enabled that fuckery and turned the other way.

Trump didn't know she was fired

"They're running a big operation"

"GODDAMN IT"



 :neogaf

Omarosa asks the question if Trump or General Kelly is running the country.
And who is 'They' that are running a big operation.

"Are you worried because you taped in the Situation Room?"
"No I have protections"
"The things General Kelly is doing in this white house should concern all Americans"

This is sounding more and more like a hit job on General Kelly.
