‘I’m Winning,’ Trump Tells Montana Crowd as He Tries to Regain Control Amid Turmoil

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/us/politics/trump-rally-montana.html

QUOTES:

Reveling in his victimhood, Mr. Trump even likened himself to Abraham Lincoln, noting that Lincoln got poor reviews for the Gettysburg Address in 1863, before the speech was later regarded as one of the finest in the nation’s history.

“I have a feeling,” he told the crowd in remarks far longer than Lincoln’s, “that’s going to happen to us.”

...............

There were other reasons, outside of unflattering headlines, for Mr. Trump to be angry. Armed with leaked documents, Democrats continue to rail against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, his nominee for the Supreme Court, and protesters persist in interrupting the judge’s confirmation hearings.

“Do you believe the anger and the meanness on the other side?” Mr. Trump said. “Sick. It’s sick.”

Framing himself as a martyr to his cult of oppressed white boys is one of the last cards in his deck.

Kavanaugh's a fcking liar

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/06/brett-kavanaugh-kamala-harris-law-firm-questions-809140

Brett Kavanaugh sought on Thursday to settle one of the biggest questions of his Supreme Court confirmation hearing, telling Democrats that he has not discussed special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe with anyone at a law firm that’s long represented President Donald Trump.

The clear disavowal from Kavanaugh may put to rest a daylong mystery that began when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) appeared to rattle the nominee by asking late Wednesday whether he nominee has spoken about Mueller’s investigation with someone at Trump-connected firm Kasowitz Benson & Torres.

Kavanaugh was unable to answer Harris at first, generating one of the confirmation hearing’s most talked-about moments, but he gave more complete “no’s” to Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Harris on Thursday. Before that moment, Democrats have said they have reason to suspect Mueller’s investigation did come up in Kavanaugh’s dealings with someone from Kasowitz – pointing to Edward McNally, a partner at the firm who worked closely with Trump’s high court pick in George W. Bush’s White House.

McNally appears in nearly two thousand of the Bush-era documents released to the Senate from Kavanaugh’s past, according to one Senate Democratic aide.

However, when Harris first posed her question to the nominee Wednesday night, he appeared uncertain if he knew anyone affiliated with Kasowitz.

“I’m just trying to think, do I know anyone who works at that firm?” Kavanaugh said.

This guy has been a real POS from the beginning. He probably isn't fit to be a federal judge, let alone a SCJ.

Agreed. But that takes 67 votes in the Senate. Maybe if republican senators continue to cover for Trump and we can oust more in the 2020 election, then maybe after that.

Manafort actually tried to get a plea deal during the jury deliberations of the first trial and Mueller rebuffed him and went to the verdict.

Now Manafort is back at the table so that does mean he wants to avoid this trial and may finally give Mueller what he wants in return for not spending the rest of his life in prison.

Manafort Weighing Plea Deal to Avoid New Criminal Trial, Source Says

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-07/manafort-is-said-to-weigh-plea-deal-to-avoid-new-criminal-trial

QUOTE:

Former federal prosecutor Patrick Cotter said defendants often have a hard time grasping that they’re running out of legal options.

“Guys who’ve gotten away with a lot of stuff before they get to prison” often show a lot of bravado, he said. “On the day of conviction they still believe there will be one more inning. It takes awhile before they realize there are no more innings.”

Kavanaugh got caught in flat out lies dating back to his first confirmation hearing. Impeachable offenses for sure. The NY Time just published a scathing editorial on him.

The guy is looking more and more like another criminal fished out of Trump's cesspool. If the GOP can't put on the brakes for this dirtbag then he could have federal charges hanging over his head when the GOP loses power. And that's just for perjury before the Senate which is a major offense. Then there's the issue of conspiracy which now looks like it may be verified. This is really nasty.

I watched it. It's definitely worth watching for an overall summary of the roots of the Russian agenda and Trump's role in it. I may have learned one new thing, but for many folks this could be an eye opener.

Winder faced a maximum possible sentence of a year in jail and a $2,500 fine for the punch, which was caught on tape by the local NBC affiliate. He appealed his misdemeanor assault conviction, and while the jury upheld the guilty verdict, they determined that he should serve no jail time and should only be fined $1, sending a clear message that Winder was justified in lashing out at Kessler.

Winder’s attorney, James Abrenio, argued that Kessler brought the punch on himself by holding a press conference while the city was reeling from the so-recent death of Heyer, arguing that he was “going out of his way” to “profit off tragedy”

t’s hard to figure out what the guy was actually doing there in the first place because his reactions to Trump don’t peg him as a Trumpster. He even mouths the word “What?” at one point. Perhaps the whole thing was a joke? Maybe he was just there to get paid? But however it happened, he was quickly removed and replaced with a much less conspicuous woman.

Here he is being replaced (and he’s not the only one).

The woman, as someone else pointed out, was actually a Trump staffer, so one assumes she’s been professionally trained in how to stand behind a raving lunatic without making incredulous faces.

I guess Trump needs to pay his 'supporters', he did say he's a job creator....lol
