Yeah but won't it gently caress HARD with LIBOR? Shame our international system is based on outdated models, etc.

Oh man, I just remembered if LIBOR goes nuts, it's not only adjustable interest on mortgages that'll go insane, but also credit card interest, and with the current outstanding balances that's might kick everything into 2008 on crack

Gonna be a whole lot of underwater mortgages and people who can't afford to pay them. The truly hilarious part is that they voted to bring this in themselves.

Has to happen at some point. The question is do they tell the banks to eat it or do they do everything possible to prevent the rich from losing a dime? I mean it's rhetorical because we all know which side they'll choose.

The more I learn about UK politics the more I'm in awe that the system manages keep on moving at all. For example, Northern Ireland's parliament has basically ceased to function because conservatives don't want gay marriage or people learning Irish in school.

I guess Scotland's still chugging along trying to ignore their neighbors.

Because it’s 2018, keep this in mind: pleading guilty allows Manafort a possibly reduced sentence, saves money on legal fees defending himself, and keeps all the Russia stuff out of the headlines in September/October.

Josh Marshall at TPM thinks it’s a way to lock in Marafort’s eventual pardon, not cooperation with Mueller.

If manafort gets pardoned I think he has to testify about crimes he commited if called as a witness in trials. I think I read something like that from some legal tweet

Fairly certain he was the poster who would poo poo all over gun safes that they never work, and are only a speed bump, which lead to him pretty much being bannished from any safe talk for a long time.

The one time my apartment got burgled I had taken my firearms with me to work to hit the range with some co-workers. I had a small gun safe (the kind that can fit on a shelf and hold like two pistols) and the apartment complex wouldn’t let me install a bigger one, this freaked me out suitably enough to make a six hour trip to my dads house and drop my guns in his safe.

Side note: none of my guns are home defense guns, they are for shooting paper tangos. My home defense plan is: most robbers break in when you are not there lol

From what I'm reading on Manafort, two things seem to be sticking out.

1) Mueller basically just made Manafort pardon proof. Not that Trump can't pardon him, but doing so would be incredibly loving disastrous because Mueller not only has the receipts, but his charging instrument goes into incredibly detail as to why Manafort is guilty and what he did. Trump pardoning him would basically open the floodgates.
https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1040611076143042560

2)It's still not known whether or not Manafort is cooperating or testifying. Everyone's still trying to wrap their heads around the plea that just came out and Marcy Wheeler and Popehat are both saying it's not clear one way or the other yet.

And right as I typed that,
