If he has been running shell games with his companies anything even close to what we think he has been doing, he is utterly hosed when this poo poo gets made public. I mean, we know he has, but for decades he has been able to hide it, basically by just lying over and over. When that poo poo hits the public record, his entire ego is hosed permanently.

I'm on a plane but, a ton of his cash comes from Deutsche Bank Corp. There was a killer article in today's WSJ or something at the sky club that had a super detailed breakdown of how they're little more than a front for sketchy Russian transactions these days. I'll see if I can link it when I'm back home later.

Here's a link I had saved to my bookmarks from June.

My game plan for work tomorrow is to just hammer the Alan Dershowitz angle, at least then I either get to watch them have a seizure from cognitive dissonance or actually say OJ was innocent.

Animal Farm Cliff Notes posted:

On the Sunday that the pigs offer the windmill to the animals for a vote, Napoleon summons a pack of ferocious dogs, who chase Snowball off the farm forever. Napoleon announces that there will be no further debates; he also tells them that the windmill will be built after all and lies that it was his own idea, stolen by Snowball. For the rest of the novel, Napoleon uses Snowball as a scapegoat on whom he blames all of the animals' hardships.

I've actually met a no-poo poo member of the English nobility and he was a very nice man. Then again, he was ennobled for having his ship bombed to bits in the Falklands and staying in the RN until he became First Sea Lord, so he's probably a special case.

Honestly if this White House isn't just constantly destroying evidence and official records, I don't even know what to think. Like, Nixon was OK recording himself saying that abortion was acceptable in the event of a mixed race baby*, and even he knew that maybe he should lose 18.5 minutes of tape sometimes.

Btw, this is a thing that Trump and Co are thinking about doing - their own intelligence agency. Read the first sentence. Read it again. I'm going to go study some quantum mechanics now because that is infinitely less painful than trying to get my head around whoever thought that might be a good idea.

To support his claim, Maguire told at least two people that National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, in coordination with a top official at the National Security Agency, authorized surveillance of Steven Bannon and Trump family members, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Adding to these unsubstantiated claims, Maguire told the potential donors he also had evidence McMaster used a burner phone to send information gathered through the surveillance to a facility in Cyprus owned by George Soros.

To be fair, the only problem Nixon had with this was that he got caught. Is Erik Prince smarter than G. Gordon Liddy? Stay tuned.

US Merchant officers are treated like kings compared to naval officers. Own stateroom, someone to clean it and make your bed, change the linen, own head, own shower, laundry just down the hall, alcohol, no uniform, no grooming standards (long as you loving shower, no smelly Fuckers in my engine room) etc etc.
