Imagine if Ted Cruz wasn't lying, and there actually is a hacker out there that is capable of being subtle and understated in his attacks. :ohdear:

Surely "Ted Cruz lies that he was hacked after accidentally liking a porn tweet" ranks somewhere in the bottom 20% of Things That Matter in TYOOL 2017, when God is furiously trying to wipe the South off the face of the Earth and a nazi is President of the US.

Honestly, my first thought was some dumb intern. For some reason I imagine Ted Cruz is too lazy to tweet personally for every tweet. In this scenario, his laxness instead of his sexuality gets him. And then imagining him trying to be like IT WASN'T ME and no one believing him. It satisfies me.

He had enough of a following for Weird Tales to keep publishing him and even though there was an editor that disliked Lovecraft, even he gave in and published several of his stories posthumously. Lovecraft's problem was that he refused to leave New York with his wife and ended up back in Providence and lived frugally on very little money because he wrote for people that did not pay very well.
Lovecraft just had economic anxiety, is what you're saying?

Some Trump Lawyers Wanted Kushner To Resign in May

Some of the lawyers on President Donald Trump’s outside legal team handling matters related to the Russia probe decided this summer that Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to Trump, should resign from his role at the White House.

The lawyers felt Kushner should step down because he had several meetings with Russian officials before Trump took office and because he initially failed to disclose those meetings, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The attorneys took their concerns to the president, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal, but Trump did not believe that Kushner needed to leave the White House.

Attorneys on the outside legal team were concerned that Kushner's role as a public official would open him up to more opportunities to perjure himself or expose himself to legal liability compared to a situation where he was merely a private citizen. This was not the initial assessment by Trump's legal team, but some of the lawyers became convinced after it was revealed that Kushner had failed to disclose his meetings with Russian officials to both the State Department and President Trump's legal team.

John Dowd, who now leads Trump’s outside legal team, told the Journal that some of the attorneys held this view of Kushner, but that he disagreed with their assessment. He also told the Journal that he was not aware that the lawyers aired their concerns to the President.

Just in case anyone was concerned that Trump's lawyers were going to manage this process competently (one of them is lying! It's Cobb).

Favorite two parts of the article is that there was a statement drafted for Kushner to fall on his sword and save DJT on the Trump Tower meeting, and that people were concerned that Kushner would discuss the probe with unrelated staffers (making them relevant witnesses) and/or with Donald without lawyers present.

Well, Japan really does seem to love some Nazis. So I guess he picked the right place to go.
Also that interview is weird:

quote:

Shortly after allegedly landing in Japan, Colligan told MassLive over a series of six private Twitter messages that Japanese residents were "a happy people" and a "homogenous society."

"This is what America needs ... a people who look talk and act similar ... diversity is our weakness," he wrote.

In a later interview, when asked if he believes diversity is bad for society, Colligan replied, "Did I say that?" and then said, "no not necessarily."
