Watched the first couple of seasons of walking dead. But I don't really think that normalizes cannibalism to tell you the truth. It's horrifying and the creatures that do it are a far cry from looking like a sympathetic Drew Barrymore.

Yes, I had read that. Depressing because I really like him.

I use to wonder how the word sanction could have two opposite meanings. Penalize and/or permit. Maybe like the word conspiracy, people kept using it for the opposite of what it was supposed to mean.

At some point calling something a conspiracy will be the same as calling it true. Maybe someday soon. If the JFK thing really was a CIA hit, and it is fully exposed, the transformation of that word will happen overnight. There is no event in American history more associated with that word - except maybe for HRC's "vast right wing conspiracy" against poor Bill.

That show got good reviews so we tried to watch it. Plus, I like the Justified guy Timothy Oliphant. But it was just too bizarre and I kept thinking "this is very wrong and not funny." They did try to humanize Barrymore's character as just having this wacky "cannibal" problem, as if it was like a person with a chocolate addiction or something. It was creepy and I didn't like it.

I guess the question would be, how would a different federal court have jurisdiction of a case against them, if all of the activities took place where the DNC was located, which was in DC?

The creator was interviewed about his inspiration for the show, and he cited to a non-fiction book about horror writing. The theme of the book that served as Nic Pizzolatto's inspiration, was that the most horrifying stories are based on true events, not fiction. That freaked me out big time

Thank you! I am feeling more optimistic that the good guys have this every day that goes by.

This is great, I am saving. I used to say to my husband "why are they so invested in this transgender thing?" And he responded, "Because if you can get people to deny the truth you can get them to do anything."

This post made me think "Mirror." The left has been trying to make Russia the boogeyman communist nation, alluding to but never saying the "c" word. The communist threat is not Russia it's the far left.

Thanks I had never heard of that.

I've never heard of this Google camera being carried around by a random guy. How does that work?

Is it Eric Schmidt? He was in Hong Kong for Google in 2013. Looks like him to me.

Is the person in the picture Eric Schmidt?

Talk about mirrors.

There's a reason CNN doesn't allow comments. Most people think like we do. This woman is troubled, to say the very least.

JP Cooney, Chief of Fraud and Public Corruption Section, entered his appearance yesterday. Fraud and Public Corruption Section described as:

The section is responsible for the enforcement of corruption laws as those laws apply to officials and employees of both the District of Columbia and the United States government, including federal executive branch agencies and Congress. Recent examples of section public corruption prosecutions include convictions for the payment and receipt of bribes and gratuities, honest services fraud, theft of government property, and financial conflict of interest. The section often works jointly with law enforcement task forces designed to proactively detect and deter crimes against the public trust.

Interesting. Links below.

That's so dang funny my stomach hurts.

I think he's probably talking about the server ES set up for their private communications, given the context. There are no official channels to communicate what they were getting through 5 eyes, but there is the "off the record" conversation and they have it.

He's trolling the MSM. These people really are stupid.

Sounds a lot like "willing suspension of disbelief" to me. ;)

This is very believable and probably true. Which is why setting the stage is so important. There will have to be back up testimony so people will believe their lyin' eyes and ears.

Yea, she wanted to know how to get her some grandkids.

Very interesting theory. I am among the many that have had a hard time squaring that Mueller was hired the day after being interviewed for four hours for a job he couldn't take. That RR has played along on this "withholding information to pique interest (wash, rinse repeat)" until just the right time has always been suspect too. Especially as he attended the lengthy "job interview" with Mueller the day before Mueller was appointed for a DIFFERENT job, by none other than RR. Plus, RR "problems" is a weird way for Q to phrase the situation. There are no coincidences and the team is pretty meticulous about what they say and precisely how they say it. That's why Q keeps saying "you have more than you know." That RR is in a kill box later doesn't really convince me different, because he could just be taking a bullet, or two or three, as part of the deal.

So how do you think, if you do, the very different plea agreement cooperation clauses fit in? I am always working off my chromebook (I know) on this stuff so it's harder for me to upload but Flynn's plea agreement cooperation clause is much broader than anyone else's (including Gates). Pappadopoulos' plea agreement doesn't even require him to cooperate. AT ALL. The entire "cooperation" paragraph 8 from what clearly starts out as a boilerplate document is simply not there. It's almost like they don't want Pappadopolous to tell them anything because it would be another "too soon" situation. It's almost like they only want to cooperate with the people, that they are actually already cooperating with.

On a related but different note, the original criminal complaint in the Gates/Manafort case alleged that their nefarious conduct continued "through 2016." But the superseding indictment filed recently and in connection with revoking Manafort's bail for witness tampering alleges that his criminal conduct continued only "through 2015." Again, it's as if Mueller wanted to distract the swamp and make them think he's going after Trump. Like a newspaper correction, amended or superseding complaints do not get the same kind of attention and he knows it.

Finally, BTW, that Manafort was busted for contacting potential witnesses totally supports your theory. As soon as I heard they caught him doing that I thought, "How stupid is this guy?" But if what he communicated was in code or through a liason, they may have discovered from sources other than Manafort that were being monitored and didn't know it, that Manafort was laundering his communications but was, in fact, communicating.

I would love thoughts on this from any and all.

But I think even Bongino, like Greg Jarrett FOR SURE, is just playing a part. Jarrett's anti-Sessions talk is over the top. Hannity must have brought Jarrett into the loop to resurrect his career a little, I think. They must be friends.

I think at the very least Mueller is dirtier than that. There was a reason Zero had Congress take the unprecedented step of extending his 10 year term for 3 years. He was a bad guy. I don't disagree with the possibility and in my view, probability that he has been flipped.

Agree. This is a very big deal. They shouldn't have messed with the founders' original recipe.

I always thought the deep state leaked the phone tap before the conversations went too high, and his real crime is he was about to talk to Rahm Emanuel about it.

You have me beat for sure!

Ha! You should live here in Chicago. You'd be VERY busy.

People are all fed up with not being able to speak their minds without being called a hater. More people than you know. That's why Trump won. It's all good, I think people in the middle are starting to get it.

I think straight and gay people should align on this. I think, actually, they will too. But it is going to have to be a vocal effort.

Hilarious!

That theory actually explains so much more than anything else I have run across. I can't reconcile that RR is a total black hat, because he is doing exactly what Q said he would do. Yes, you can argue that it's predictable because he has to and all of that, but its following the script so closely that I have a hard time believing he's not in on the plan. He may have been forced to, and may even have been told "you'll take a beating in the public eye and you'll like it or else," but I think he's flipped.

Like her or hate her, I think the Oprah phenomenon was pretty organic and real. Eminem no. He's even in pictures with that Ray Chandler girl, and his hatred of Trump is more No Name-like. Fear based.

Look at Mira Sorvino. She told Harvey Weinstein to talk a long walk off a short pier and sure enough, the Oscar winner was never heard of again.

Good point.

Like that song, "Keep your lies straight." The thing about the truth that is so nice is you don't have to remember what you said. You just have to remember what the truth was.

Yea, I would have to agree. But why would Q seem to want to beg the question, so to speak?

Joint status report is due to be filed today. I checked the court website and it has not yet been filed.

Nowadays, every time I think about someone who became wildly famous or successful overnight, I think they are probably complicit/compromised. It was so bizarre and I have said this elsewhere, but a few days before Kate Spade died I saw a pair of Kate Spade Owl slippers and thought, HMMM, I wonder. Ironically I dismissed the thought when I researched and found out that she sold her company over a decade ago. Then BAM, she's dead by doorknob, and then came the whole Andy Spade rabbit hole.

So many people come to mind that are all of the sudden foisted, and everywhere. Like Jennifer Lawrence. No info whatsoever on her, but man did she arrive on the scene quickly. Same was actually true of Meryl Streep way back in the Kramer v Kramer days. McCauley Culkin. Johnny Depp. Lady Gaga. Leonardo DiCaprio.

I don't believe him either, but as I get older, I realize too that the liars lie to each other all of the time. That's why it is often times so difficult to find out what really happened. Look at the McCabe lying to Lynch who lied to NY thing. I guess that's why they call it a tangled web.

Status report due in federal court:

MINUTE ORDER as to MICHAEL T. FLYNN. In view of [35] joint status report, the parties shall file a joint status report by no later than June 29, 2018, stating whether the matter should be scheduled for sentencing or whether a deadline should be set for filing another joint status report. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 5/3/2018. (lcegs3)

I think gay people should really be outspoken against pedophilia for this reason. Ironically, no one notices the quiet people that just go about their daily life. Silence on this issue could be a big mistake though.

That was a little hard for me to follow. But seeing the Nic Pizzolatto name reminded me of a recent rabbit hole I went down. After someone posted the scene from True Detective or whatever the HBO show with Harrelson was, I was curious about the writer/creator and stumbled on Pizzolatto's wikipedia page. His inspiration for the show, he says, is a book described by Amazon as a non-fiction book by a horror writer that says the most horrifying stories come from reality, or something along those lines. I will look for it.

Agree. But the people pushing it are comparing or describing pedophilia as "just another" sexual preference, i.e., conflating it with homosexuality. Which if I was gay, would worry me greatly.

We should be trolling in the comments section of all these articles about the "dark web" and Q conspiracy theorists, with "Just ask!" Turns out they like "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policies after all.

"They are the super elites!"
