I don’t think it requires energy. It’s consistency and remembering what you said yesterday and five minutes ago that are exhausting. Thump is like an untrained puppy–just urp out whatever wants to come out/up in the moment with no restraint or awareness of the effect on anything. Maybe if someone rubbed his nose in it-- not that I think that is the right way to train a puppy, but puppies are smart and capable of learning. Thump, not so much.
Interesting. Thanks for the link.
Former Trump aide Rick Gates to plead guilty; agrees to testify against Manafort, sources say
Paul Manafort was in pretty bad shape before. Now he’s super fucked.
He may be faced with a choice of dying in jail or pissing off folks who like to play polonium surprise with people who piss them off.
Especially with the new charges.
Not to get all up in your grill with Fotheringay-Phipps-type nitpickery, but one of the paragraphs in your linked article specifically states that no new charges are involved.
Yet, admittedly.
If he flips, Dopers in remote areas of the country should start looking for new tall, dark neighbors who complain about ordering Chicken Kiev and getting mcnuggets and margarine … like a regular schnook.
Now, if the next headline to come out of the investigation is “Manafort to plead guilty, agrees to testify against Trump”…I’d be oh so happy.
Mueller to the judge in the Manafort case, “Oh hey, while we’re talking about bail, I’m just going to mention that I have recently received evidence of more crimes committed by the defendant that I’ll be sending your way shortly.”
I don’t think the timing of this story and the, “Gates to testify against Manafort,” story are unrelated.
“Former Trump aid to plead guilty”
Remember when that shit was happening all the time, or even once, when Obama was President? Neither do I. Fuck you, Republicans, all of you. Fuck right the fuck off.
That’s exactly right. I read another story (can’t find it now) that indicated Mueller would be prepared to file additional charges alleging bank and mortgage fraud at the next bail proceeding. He’s also asking for a full revocation of Manafort’s bail and for the court to remand him into custody.
I’m looking forward to it. 
No but I do remember the tan suit. Same thing really. Also the mustard was a clear reveal of Obama’s anti-americanism.

There was also the time he made a speech encouraging children to study hard and stay in school. There’s no comparison, really. MAGA!!
The thing is, when Nixon finally went, it was the Republicans who told him he had to go.
Why did Nixon lose Republican support?
Today it’s not clear that the Republicans would desert thump even if he were convicted of shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.
To quote Xander from BtVS: “That bastard!”
You mean like the speech Trump gave to Boy Scouts encouraging to mistrust the press and recounting stories of, well, it was just strange. Man, that feels so long ago. It has been a LONG year.
What makes you think he would be convicted?

They would definitely be concerned and would criticize the President’s actions as “unhelpful”. What more could they possibly do?
And how can anyone forget Obama putting his feet up on the Resolute desk?!!?? :eek: Impeachment grounds right there! :mad:
