Just over a hundred years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Charlotte L. Brown on April 17,, 1863 refused to give up her seat on a horse drawn streetcar in San Francisco. Even though she had a ticket and declared she had a right to ride, the conductor ejected her. With her father’s support, she took the case to court.

This is a well deserved Pulitzer prize. I printed this article when it first came out and have read it multiple times. Ms. Ghansah attended Roof’s trial, interviewed families and townsfolk, and her insights are quite interesting. This is the best article I’ve read about Dylann Roof.

Are there any yachts registered to Russsian Oligarchs currently docked, or expected to dock in Palm Beach this week.. inquiring minds want to know..
Any Russian oligarch courier types with correspondence from Vlad to his puppet..
The buffoon who just returned from ‘spring break’ is back there for the entire week..
Whenever a cone of silence à la Scottie ‘paranoid’ Pruitt is needed, buffoon scuttles off to Mar la lago..
Might Hannity and Michael Cohen be joining him..

Ugh..
The gleefully complicit media always swooping right in like clockwork, to help muddy the waters for the buffoon… And always in time with the elevation of the faux-righteous grievances and ‘superior’ rights of the ‘Trump voter’…
Right now it’s all about the media helping to undermine Comey…
Hence the whole coordinated focus on Comey’s so-called ‘petty insults’..
And with a straight face, most of them talking without realizing how completely ridiculous they sound, about how Comey should not have ‘lowered’ himself to the ‘pre.d.nt’s level..
I can’t get myself to type the p word with reference to that treasonous impostor …
But the idea that there’s a ‘lowering’ to, with regards to the ‘presidency’ …and Comey is held to some higher standard with regards to the use of ‘petty insults’..
Standards that the same tsk-tsking media absolutely won’t hold the buffoon to – even as they undeservedly but ever breathlessly refer to him with the sacred ‘p’ title.. and even as they constantly buck him up and run interference on his behalf, and even spin his debasement and degradation of the office as somehow positive and even aspirational..
That whole crap many in the media all gleefully spout in unison … ‘that’s him just being him’ …and ‘it always works for him’…and ‘he’s so good at it and it works too and gets his desired results too’… ‘and he’s so much more effective than Obama’…
Michael Cohen couldn’t fight his way out of this
Let alone fix or reperesent folks.
LOL..
He’s an obvious dead man walking..
Who knows, maybe Alan Dershowitz can come up with some spin for this too ..and get another dinner invite with the buffoon..
Your friend Jonathan Turley is in a bit of a bind these days ..and not nearly quite as effusive in his defense of all things the buffoon..
Either because his endless prime time auditioning hasn’t quite yielded the expected job offer from the buffoon …or the fact that Stormy’s attorney Michael Avenatti used to work for him..
Trump puts brakes on new Russia sanctions, walking back Haley’s remarks
Administration officials said it was unlikely President Trump would approve any additional sanctions without another triggering event by Russia, describing the strategy as in a holding pattern. The sanctions announcement made Sunday by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley was swiftly denounced by the Kremlin as “international economic raiding.”

Nimrata from South Carolina by way of Mumbai, hasn’t even yet begun to get her wake-up call..
The idea that this person who parlayed a ‘career’ working in her mother’s dress shop, and a couple of political ‘sweetheart’ gigs in good old South Carolina, into being UN ambassador – for an impostor she originally had no use for but quickly sucked up to for the gig in a thin field of mediocrity …should have us all still shaking our heads in disbelief..
So #SeanHannity railed against this investigation and then we find out he was a client of Michael Cohen. The FIXER! OMG!
https://twitter.com/selectedwisdom/status/985967327408635904
Yes; Cohen FIXED Hannity and 45 alright.
bwa ha ha ha ha
OMG! This thug is knee deep in this too!
https://twitter.com/selectedwisdom/status/985967327408635904
What did Comey say: 45 running a MOB operation., or some such?
And thus 45’s ties to FAUX NOISE
May he be taken down..
There are few people I loathe more than this Hannity person.. he’s pure, unadulterated evil..
It is obvious that his (and some of the others) over the top defense of, and alignment with the buffoon, goes way beyond their largely fake ‘political ideology’ .. there’s a whole lot more un-kosher stuff at work here..
Couldn’t have happened to a NASTIER guy.

it WOULD be irresponsible of us not to speculate, don’t ya know?
Why on earth would @seanhannity need to hire a “fixer” whose specialty seems to be hush agreements for high profile men caught up with younger women?
Why, gee, you know, I just can’t think of any reason at all. None. None at all.

This incident happened in Macon, GA. which is where I live in Middle GA. What this white female did to these black soldiers is not a surprise to me. Some whites here have always had the attitude that they can say and do anything they want to to us and walkaway unscathed. What is different this time is that her @ss got locked up. Most of the time in incidents of this sort that happen here, it’s the black person that leaves the premises in handcuffs. I’m glad that video from several customers’ cameras prove that the white female was abusive to these soldiers for no other reason than that they drove around her car to get to a parking space so they could go inside the restaurant to get something to eat. It never surprises me that those who are always screaming, “Respect our military!!!” have no respect for some of them based on their race and sexual orientation.
Exactly. When they say “respect our military” they’re not speaking about black soldiers. The woman started crying, trying to play the victim. I’ll bet she won’t try that ish again.

Another white collar lawyer turns down Trump
By Kara Scannell
Updated 10:57 PM ET, Sun April 15, 2018
Another white collar lawyer has turned down the opportunity to represent President Donald Trump, citing an unidentified conflict, as the President struggles to add to the legal team representing him in the special counsel investigation.
People close to Trump contacted New York attorney Steven Molo, a former prosecutor who specializes in white collar defense and court room litigation, in recent weeks following the departure of attorney John Dowd from Trump’s personal legal team.
Molo is only the latest attorney to receive an invitation to help Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 campaign and any possible dealings with Russia. Other lawyers who declined to join Trump’s team include former US Solicitor General Ted Olson; Emmet Flood, who’s worked for multiple presidents; Robert Bennett, Bill Clinton’s attorney in the Paula Jones litigation; and Bob Giuffra, of Sullivan & Cromwell.
He’s in deep, y’all.

Marinate on that….how ridiculous is this?
Only in America can a white man thinks he can be a full-time criminal, breaking laws, covering up, and debase & defile the Justice Department to escape his CRIMINALITY.

The comments in that thread are on point. LOL
New museum chief fiercely promotes African art, but faces a more prosaic problem at home
When he talks about African art, Augustus (Gus) Casely-Hayford radiates like a beam of sunshine.
That’s good because most of the National African Art Museum he now heads gets little of it. The subterranean architecture is symbolic of the buried treasure that is African art. African culture remains hidden in many ways, and that’s Casely-Hayford’s challenge.

Trust me, he’s not going back to Janesville..
When it came out that Trump pressured Comey to drop the Flynn investigation and then fired him when he didn’t, @PRyan excused it all saying “he’s new at this.”
Now @chucktodd asks him whether Comey is honorable, Ryan refuses to answer even on way out. He’s corrupted to the core.

So how did such an obvious con artist get a reputation for seriousness and fiscal probity? Basically, he was the beneficiary of ideological affirmative action.
