I guess the press can't keep up w 1000 fuck ups a day by the Trump dynasty. I can't.
No wonder ordinary people are sick of it all and just tuning it out. Once again, he wins by being so bad no one can keep up with it all. He uses one bad story to knock off another...faster than bowling balls.

And TrumpCare is a real possibility. Democrats have been fighting it and getting the message out. It's been a hot topic here on DU.

Trump impeachment will probably occur after Deathcare and Tax cuts for the Billionaires
are passed. Then they will try to use the ruse that they got rid of the crazy guy while
continuing their attack on the 99%. This is why we should view Trump impeachment
not as end but a beginning.

They advertise in the media that talks about what they want talked about. They fund congressmen who do their bidding. They are too greedy to ever be satisfied and do nothing for the people who made them wealthy.

Felix Sater...career criminal with mob ties who traveled with Trump and took his children to Russia to do deals.

New questions about Trump family and Bayrock Group ties

Trump questioned about Sater's mob ties in 2007, 3 years later was still in the organization

Still has ties to Trump

Story will be published tomorrow.

I was multi-tasking while trying to catch his comments.

Here's what Raw Story had to say about it this morning:

Maddow previews bombshell report linking Trump to Putin-connected money pouring into his real estate deals



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/maddow-previews-bombshell-report-linking-trump-to-putin-connected-money-pouring-into-his-real-estate-deals/

On Tuesday night while the country was transfixed by the special election in Georgia’s 6th district, Rachel Maddow took a look at an upcoming report by Tim O’Brien of Bloomberg News, that may provide a road-map between financing of Donald Trump’s real estate deals and “money connected to Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

In typical Maddow style, the MSNBC host walked viewers through tabloid headlines about arrests of Mafia members and the “Borscht Boys,” connecting them to former Trump business associate Felix Sater.

Maddow notes that investigators hope to unseal documents related to a federal case involving Sater that might show that Trump engaged in financial fraud prior to becoming president. According to the MSNBC host, Sater has a history of being a valuable informant, as testified to by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch when she was a prosecutor and oversaw his case.

Armed with a copy of the Bloomberg report — due to be released Wednesday morning — Maddow revealed that the financial packages created by Sater show a direct link to several Trump real estate projects and an investment firm close to Putin.

An informant for the CIA and DOJ, also. One of the reasons he got away with the bilking of $40 mil from people with no jail time and plenty of cash after paying his "fine".

for many years before becoming Justices. There was a time when you could become a lawyer without going to law school; you worked as a law clerk, studied and then passed the bar. Those days are long gone; in all but four states you can't even take the bar exam without first getting a law degree, and even then your career options will be limited. To get appointed to the Supreme Court these days you'll need a law degree, preferably from Harvard or Yale; you should have served on the school's Law Review; you probably will need to clerk for a federal judge (preferably at the Supreme Court itself); then you'll need to work for a white-shoe law firm in New York or D.C. doing high-profile corporate work or civil litigation; or else get a job in the U.S. Attorney's office. You should also work on cultivating politicians so you can get an appointment to the federal bench - first a federal district court, then a circuit court of appeals (preferably the D.C. Circuit). Then, finally, and only if you have enough friends in high places and an opening occurs, you might have a shot at it.
