Under 90 days until the mid term elections in November.
Q, are elections still safe?
Fingers crossed for a yuuuge October surprise.
You have plenty to choose from, I'm sure, even if a big percentage have to be kept secret to avoid public safety breakdown.
Oh.
Free cash and apartments for the drooling, unconscious addicts crapping in the streets, and the mentally ill running around making the streets unsafe for everyone else.
How about state-run mental institutions again?
OK, they were crap back in the day, but are they worse than the alternative? NO.
Podesta Group closed due to entanglement with the Mueller Russia probe, and because it had worked for Paul Manafort.
Doesn't look like Manafort jury is going to reach a verdict today. Anyone know if they're deliberating over the weekend, or is it going to be Monday for a verdict?
Omitted sauce:

" While investigating Manafort's consulting work for the party, Mueller has been scrutinizing Podesta Group and the lobbying group Mercury Public Affairs. Mercury worked with Podesta Group after Manafort asked the firms to do public relations work for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU), which he and Gates first created, according to his indictment.
The organization's stated goal is to foster closer ties between Ukraine and the European Union, as well as the United States. It was founded, however, by Leonid Kozhara, a senior member of parliament for the Party of Regions. It is also said to be controlled by Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russian strongman and another prominent member of the Party of Regions, whom Manafort is widely credited with helping win the presidency in Ukraine in 2010.
Yanukovych was ousted in 2014 after widespread demonstrations against his decision to back out of a deal with the EU that would have distanced Ukraine from Russia and strengthened ties with the West. Yanukovych fled to Russia amid the protests, during which Ukrainian riot police opened fire on thousands of demonstrators, and is now living under the protection of the Kremlin.
Ukrainian prosecutors have said Yanukovych ordered the security forces' attack on protesters, and at least one human-rights lawyer representing the victims is investigating what role, if any, Manafort played in encouraging Yanukovych's crackdown.
Mercury and Podesta Group did not register as foreign agents while working on the Ukraine lobbying project, saying they were working for a nonprofit and not a foreign government or political party, The Washington Post reported in August. Both firms recently registered retroactively, however, acknowledging that the Party of Regions benefited from their work.
Manafort and Gates' indictment said that they created the ECMU, which then solicited lobbying services from two companies that were only identified in the indictment documents as companies "A" and "B." The companies were later revealed to be the Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs.
ECMU paid Podesta Group over $1 million over several years to lobby Congress, according to The Associated Press. As part of their lobbying efforts, Podesta Group and Mercury were tasked with improving Yanukovych's image in the West, and particularly in the US.
To that end, Podesta Group lobbied Congress "about Ukraine sanctions, the validity of Ukraine elections," and the validity of jailing Yanukovych's political opponent, Yulia Tymoshenko, according to the indictment. The group also had extensive contacts with the State Department and the National Security Council in 2012 in the lead-up to the Ukrainian elections that year."
Since no ref to McCann was intended, should we infer that Podestas are tied to child trafficking & related depravity out of Ukraine/Russia, given direct link from Podesta Group to Ukraine?
Very curious to see how Manafort verdict affects events to come.
That's what I'm thinking.
We'll never know exactly what Trump and Putin discussed in private.
Dear Lord, when I think of the number of children who were probably bought, sold, abused, murdered like they were cattle…
Human life is sacred. Period.
Lobbyists are a cancer. If you wipe them out in one location, they just metastasize in another one.
Okay, got it. Children being traded for patented or classified military tech intel.
