For anyone who thinks the National Enquirer was not a super-effective ‘news’ medium for the low-info/racist voter..

SMH, the same goes for those folks who watch Fox. Deep down they want to believe the lies. It feeds their ugly, racists beliefs. Who wouldn’t want any to hear what they believe vs the TRUTH?
And if you remember, I also shared that scumbag Dick Morris was also at the time, the National Enquirer’s ‘chief political commentator/correspondent’…

And I also shared that AMI was consolidating… They were buying up all the gossip rags..
“…Us Weekly, which has long competed with People magazine for Hollywood lifestyle scoops, has been snapped up by the owner of the Trump-friendly gossip paper National Enquirer. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
The Us editorial employees — around 45 staffers in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles — are expected to reinterview for their jobs as early as Friday.
The deal allows AMI, led by Trump backer Pecker, to consolidate the print market for store checkout stand publications. It also owns celebrity-oriented Star, Soap Opera Digest and OK! magazines along with the Enquirer and Radar Online.
Trump, who recently labeled much of the mainstream press the “enemy of the people,” has singled out AMI exec Pecker (who he once lauded as “brilliant”) for praise.
In the past year, AMI’s National Enquirer has doubled down on pro-Trump headlines on its covers, to the point that it has been compared to “Pravda on the Checkout Line,” a reference to Russia’s state-backed paper..”

Dear @realDonaldTrump: What makes America great is that law enforcement agents & prosecutors take an oath to the Constitution, not to you. They decide who to investigate based on a review of the evidence. That’s why you & your associates (and not Hillary) are under investigation. https://t.co/xAnnbhiiPI

My bro and I talked about New York dropping the ball on the fraud’s criminal activity. Authorities turned a blind eye to this thug for years. How is his crimes just coming to light? Was someone paid off to squeeze their eyes shut? How did he get away with this for so long? He didn’t become a criminal just before the election. ANYONE ELSE would have BEEN in prison.
TELL.IT. While our black skin & kin folks are being murdered by cops and unlawfully stopped, frisked, handcuffed, and dinigrated by a white supremacist system
That’s a good question, SG2. Why has Donald Trump and his crime family been allowed to get away with so much? Well, the presidency was a classic case of overreach and it does appear that Donald’s day of reckoning is soon to be. But just look at the trouble he’s caused and the damage done.
I think the reasons he got away with it for so long has a lot to do with his mob connections and other connections, and the history of doing business in NYC, which has always seemed to me to be to do what you’re doing, even if it breaks the law, until the government stops you. Plus, most of us already know that the rich/well-off are rarely compelled to investigate their own. It’s a special club that the rest of us don’t have entree to, and they work to keep it that way. There’s also the overwhelming societal view, belief, and acceptance that the rich play by different rules than the rest of us and should be allowed to do so. What other way to explain the poor and the middle class voting for rich politicians at their own disadvantage?
“…A campaign spokesman for Manhattan prosecutor Cy Vance Jr. denied any wrongdoing Wednesday as the lawman returned a $31,000 contribution from President Trump’s attorney.
The 2013 donation from Trump’s longtime personal lawyer was sent back amid new revelations about Vance’s decision to pass on prosecuting Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
The First Family siblings came into the district attorney’s crosshairs during Vance’s first term in office for allegedly duping prospective buyers in a failed Manhattan project dubbed Trump Soho.
A story by WNYC, ProPublica and The New Yorker raised the issue in recounting the criminal probe started in 2010 against the president’s children — Ivanka, 35, and Donald Jr., 39.
The piece cited email evidence indicating the Trumps openly lied about the occupancy rate at the building to lure new customers.
The report quoted a source as saying the emails left “no doubt” that the Trump children “approved, knew of, agreed to, and intentionally inflated the numbers to make more sales.”
Attorney Marc Kasowitz met directly with the Manhattan district attorney in May 2012 about the fraud investigation. He had previously donated $25,000 to Vance, although the prosecutor returned the money before the sit-down to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.
Kasowitz made a subsequent $31,993 donation to Vance in January 2013. In between the meeting and the second contribution, the prosecutor dropped the Trump investigation in August 2012 against the advice of his own investigators, the report said.
The juxtaposition of events raised the whiff of impropriety for critics.
According to Sigmund, another $9,000 from employees at Kasowitz’s law firm and $9,000 more raised at a breakfast hosted by Kasowitz was not returned…”

Sen. John McCain, battling brain cancer, is discontinuing medical treatment
The Arizona Republican said in a statement that he has surpassed expectations for his survival since his diagnosis last July. “But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict,” and the senator has decided to end medical treatment.
McCain has been absent from Washington since last December.

Don’t forget that for 8+ years – and still counting, the National Enquirer was used to viciously slander and smear the Obamas, their marriage, their kids.. She as angry, jealous, scorned black woman, his sexuality, and at the same time, just how ‘smitten’ he was with one actress or another …etc…
I hope this works. Posting with my phone. I have computer problems today. Ugh!

Hi SG2. Good to see your fonts. The FB post didn’t stick.
Awl
It’s dogs jumping rope with the owner. They got skills. LOL
Morning SG2! :)

Get your ass to prison…..
Jacob Scott Goodwin sentenced to 8 years in prison for his violent attack on DeAndre Harris in Charlottesville.

GOOD! 8 years is not enough, but it’s a start. Likely wouldn’t have gotten time, if DeAndre were white.
He’ll likely get parole though, before his 8 years are up.
Don’t drop the soap, you racist SOB
This article will leave a smile on your face :)

Allen Weisselberg, Longtime Trump Organization CFO, Is Granted Immunity in Cohen Probe
Weisselberg earlier this year was subpoenaed to testify before grand jury
y Rebecca Ballhaus and Nicole Hong
Updated Aug. 24, 2018 10:48 a.m. ET
Allen Weisselberg, President Trump’s longtime financial gatekeeper, was granted immunity by federal prosecutors for providing information about Michael Cohen in the criminal investigation into hush-money payments for two women during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Weisselberg was called to testify before a federal grand jury in the investigation earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal previously reported, citing people familiar with the investigation.
The decision by prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office to grant immunity to Mr. Weisselberg escalates the pressure on Mr. Trump, whom Mr. Weisselberg has served for decades as executive vice president and chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. After Mr. Trump was elected, he handed control of his financial assets and business interests to his two adult sons and Mr. Weisselberg.

Good Morning, Rikyrah. Please check email. Thanks
Friday hasn’t happened yet, but I think that it was a good week for our side. Mueller dropping an indictment would be absolutely delicious 😄 way to top off this week.
I hadn’t thought of this as strategy, but do you think it is?

Eric Swalwell told @maddow tonight that the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a meeting tomorrow on Hillary Clinton’s emails. The day after Michael Cohen’s plea agreement, that’s what was scheduled.
