TRUMP GREETED WITH LAUGHTER AS HE BRAGS TO THE UN ABOUT WHAT A FABULOUS PREZNIT HE IS





Trump greeted with laughter while touting his administration's accomplishments at UN

"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished almost more than any other administration in the history of our country," Trump said at the top of his speech, which prompted audible laughter in the hall. 

 "Didn't expect that reaction but that's OK," he responded.






Of course he didn't expect to have people laugh in his lying face. Narcissists are convinced of their magnificence, and so Trump can't imagine other human beings not as in love with him as he is with himself. 

The whole world laughed at the horse's ass.


PRESIDENT UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR, DONALD J. TRUMP







Trump's boast at the United Nations prompts laughter from world leaders and ridicule on Twitter


TRUMP HAS COMPLAINED THAT “THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US.” ON TUESDAY, IT DID.



No one recalls ever seeing the United Nation General Assembly laughing out loud at the President of the United States.

That just happened.




MAKING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY LAUGH AT US!



Charlie Pierce, Esquire:


Yes, the president* kicked things off in his speech by celebrating the wonder of his own wonderful greatness. And the assembled diplomats laughed and laughed, and that's fairly unprecedented in my lifetime, anyway. But it was the stuff he said that they didn't laugh at, because it wasn't funny at all, that was the meat on which the rest of the world can feast its fear. The President* of the United States, notable in his business career for going bankrupt three times, failing to make money as a casino owner, and stiffing glaziers, carpenters, landscapers, and other lesser orders of people, got up and essentially called the rest of the world a bunch of deadbeats.

This FAKE meme is going around far right blogs, and it's a total, complete, damnable LIE!


[T]he notion that the photograph was truly a picture of Karen Monahan that documented her condition after an assault by Ellison was questionable, because neither she nor her son claimed that Ellison had beaten or struck her about the face and head.
Moreover, not only does the pictured woman not look like Karen Monahan, but Monahan herself stated on Twitter that “This picture is NOT me” and asked users to stop sharing it:

This picture is NOT me. Please do not share with any connection to me or my story. Please honor this ladies wounds, pain and trauma. Thank you. https://twitter.com/Rugerbymyside/status/1043517509830234114 …




SNOPES: "We don’t yet know the real identity of the injured women seen here. This picture appears to have been online for several years, posted from countries such as Russia and South Africa, and offering no descriptive information other than generic terms such as “pregnant woman beaten by her boyfriend”:







Who's Your Daddy bbb



The "Democrats don't want to talk about this" because it is a FALSE, FAKE MEME. And this is how the far right morons perpetuate their lies.






This is Keith Ellison and Karen Monahan, NOT the meme above:

WITHDRAW, BRETT! YOU'RE TAINTED!

Yale Law School students fill a hallway sitting in silent protest over allegations that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted at least 2 women.
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb


Just in case this wasn't clear the first time: When Republicans learned of Deborah Ramirez's allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, they tried to speed up the process of confirming him. The GOP is a sexual predator protection racket.

PIGS!



The current GOP is utterly without honor or credibility. They knew about the Ford accusation, and now we find out they knew about the second accusation and have tried to rush through the Kavanaugh nomination to get an alleged sexual predator on the SCOTUS. We already have one, thanks to the corrupt GOP and cowardly Dems, why do we need another?






GOPers Knew About New Allegation Last Week, Tried To Rush Confirmation Vote

By Kate Riga September 24, 2018 8:28 am 

Senior staffers for Senate Republicans knew about Deborah Ramirez’s sexual misconduct allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as early as last week, resulting in their bosses pushing to hold Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote sooner, according to a Sunday New Yorker report.





I can't tell you how sad I am that Brett Kavanaugh's prep sessions have been hard on him. Maybe he should turn up the music louder.

I cant' stop laughing!




Internal GOP Poll: 

Pelosi Beats Trump in a Head-to-Head Matchup 

 The Democratic leader is a frequent Republican target, but an RNC poll shows she’s more popular than the president.

When White People Loot.


When BLACK people do it, it's "looting."
When WHITE people do it, it's salvage.
We learned that in NOLA in '05.


North Carolina
White Americans entering closed retail establishments in order to take whatever they want.
When Black or Spanish Americans do the same thing, it’s on every news channel and they are called looters rioting.  This is called White Privilege.

Tom Clay, Jr.:

 "Maryland has no statute of limitations on sexual assault but that is not the end game Dr. Ford is after. She wants an FBI investigation because that would put Kavanaugh in the position of talking to the FBI about it. If he lies to the FBI, that puts him in legal jeopardy. He has retained a very powerful defense attorney as of last night. 

 Now he can say he wasn't there publicly or that this is a fantasy of her's but he can't say that to an FBI agent. He can say he was drunk and doesn't remember anything but that is not going to change the fact that she told her therapist 5 years ago about this incident and how it traumatized her. Republicans are now between a rock and a hard place because Kavanaugh can't talk to the FBI and if he does not talk to them or if the White House does not order the FBI to look into this, he looks more guilty. 

Dr. Ford is more than willing to tell the FBI everything, under oath. That lends a lot of credibility if she is willing to go under oath while insisting on an FBI investigation. Those notes to her therapist are devastating to be sure. Republicans thought they'd just haul her up to congress and Anita-Hill her but oh no old men, she's not playing that. You get the FBI to investigate this or you get nothing. 

Kavanaugh didn't hire the best lawyer he could for no reason. There's entirely too much secrecy behind this rapey prick. There is no way the White House is going to tell the FBI to do an investigation if they know Kavanaugh is going to take the 5th. He is going to withdraw or Trump has to throw him under the bus. He may very well lose his job on the court of appeals. If they don't cut him loose, there will be a tsunami on November 6th."

Brett Kavanaugh accused of sexual assault.



In 1987, Ronald Reagan placed Douglas S. Ginsburg's name in nomination to replace Lewis F Powell, Jr., on the SCOTUS. During confirmation hearings, Judge Ginsburg admitted to having smoked marijuana while in college. That resulted in Ginsburg voluntarily withdrawing his name. When Ginsburg was in college, it was illegal to smoke marijuana.

Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of attempted sexual assault when he was a high school student by a woman whose story will probably be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

It should not matter that this happened while Kavanaugh was in high school. Attempted rape is a crime and there should be no statute of limitation on it. If smoking weed was enough to have Judge Ginsburg withdraw his name from consideration for the SCOTUS, Kavanaugh's worse alleged crime should disqualify him. 

At the very least this will send a message to all young men and those Americans who think "boys will be boys," and that it's okay to try to rape a young woman when intoxicated. It isn't. Kavanaugh should take responsibility  for what he did. He got away with a crime in high school, but now he should pay the price, just like Judge Ginsburg did. 

Kavanaugh should withdraw.



Woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault speaks out in account published by Washington Post




California professor, writer of confidential Brett Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault 

 Earlier this summer, Christine Blasey Ford wrote a confidential letter to a senior Democratic lawmaker alleging that Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago, when they were high school students in suburban Maryland. Since Wednesday, she has watched as that bare-bones version of her story became public without her name or her consent, drawing a blanket denial from Kavanaugh and roiling a nomination that just days ago seemed all but certain to succeed. 

 Now, Ford has decided that if her story is going to be told, she wants to be the one to tell it. Speaking publicly for the first time, Ford said that one summer in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh and a friend — both “stumbling drunk,” Ford alleges — corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County.

Manafort: "Hey Trump! How do you like me now?"














A few weeks ago, Trump called Manafort a "brave man" because he didn't cooperate with federal investigators, but today Manafort flipped.

Does President Unindicted Co-conspirator still think he's brave?

This is a big deal!


WASHINGTON ― Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded guilty on Friday to two charges involving a wide range of criminal conduct as part of a plea deal and has agreed to cooperate with the special counsel probe being led by Robert Mueller. President Donald Trump has previously discussed pardoning Manafort with his attorneys, but an agreement to cooperate with Mueller’s team could put a potential pardon in jeopardy. 

Trump had previously stated his distaste for “flipping” and said it “almost ought to be” illegal. Manafort, 69, appeared Friday in federal court in Washington, where he pleaded guilty to conspiracy against the United States and conspiracy to obstruct justice. The first charge covers a lot of criminal activity, including money laundering, tax fraud, failing to file reports about his foreign bank accounts, failing to register as a foreign agent and lying to the government. 

 Manafort was found guilty on eight counts last month following a separate federal trial in Northern Virginia and still faced 10 additional counts there in addition to the charges he faced in Washington. The 10 counts in Virginia will be dropped as part of Manafort’s plea deal. 

 The plea deal states that Manafort “shall cooperate fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly with the Government and other law enforcement authorities identified by the Government in any and all matters as to which the Government deems the cooperation relevant.”

Gas explosions in three Massachusetts towns



The devastating Hurricane Florence has dominated the news, so you may have missed this horrendous story:



Series Of Gas Explosions Destroy Dozens Of Homes In Massachusetts

At least one teenager died and another 10 people were injured in the incident.


LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — A series of gas explosions an official described as “Armageddon” killed a teenager, injured at least 10 other people and ignited fires in at least 39 homes in three communities north of Boston on Thursday, forcing entire neighborhoods to evacuate as crews scrambled to fight the flames and shut off the gas. 

 Authorities said Leonel Rondon, 18, of Lawrence, died after a chimney toppled by an exploding house crashed into his car. He was rushed to a Boston hospital but pronounced dead there in the evening.
