Richard Spencer led a torch-lit rally of white supremacists in front of the statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, VA.
They were chanting Nazi slogans such as:
"Blood and soil!"
"Russia is our friend!"
"No more Brother Wars!"
"You will not replace us!"

The mayor considers it to be an act of intimidation aimed at minority groups, hearkening back to the Klan days.

Via Buisiness Insider:

http://www.businessinsider.com/russian-vnesheconombank-trump-toronto-hotel-2017-5

quote:

A Russian state-owned bank under US sanctions, whose CEO met with President Donald Trump's son-in-law in December, helped financed the construction of the president's 65-story Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto, according to a new report.

The bank, Vnesheconombank, or VEB, bought $850 million of stock in a Ukrainian steelmaker from the billionaire Russian-Canadian developer Alexander Shnaider, who was constructing the hotel at the time, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Shnaider initially purchased the stock via his company, Midland Resources Holding, for about $70 million after the collapse of the Soviet Union, according to The Journal.

The money from the sale of that stock to VEB — which The Journal said went through while Russian President Vladimir Putin was chairman of VEB's supervisory board — was used to help finance the construction of the Toronto hotel "at a key moment for the project."

From the Journal:

"After Mr. Shnaider and his partner sold their stake in the steelmaker, Mr. Shnaider injected more money into the Trump Toronto project, which was financially troubled. Mr. Shnaider's lawyer, Symon Zucker, said in an April interview that about $15 million from the asset sale went into the Trump Toronto project. A day later, he wrote in an email: 'I am not able to confirm that any funds' from the deal 'went into the Toronto project.'"

Zucker, Shnaider's lawyer, told The Journal that Midland Resources "has never had any relationship with VEB" and "does not dictate where their purchasers borrow funds." He told Business Insider that the Journal " got their facts all wrong."

The result of this whole fiasco was Mueller threatening to resign, shortly followed by Comey's Greatest Congressional Testimony Ever Told

Mueller now has subpoena power and Comey is putting his story together and itching to testify. Comey has a paper trail and Mueller is a 72 year old former FBI boss. There's a storm coming and it will be on live TV.

:stare: Jesus, Comey and Ashcroft freaking stood their ground. I gotta say, I got a lot more respect for him now.

Gonzalez try to do a long run around Comey as acting attorney general to get a possible unconstitutional program pushed through, and Ashcroft on his hospital bed gave them the finger and then they thumbed their nose at Comey as acting attorney general. Then Card tries to drag him over the coals for refusing to certify the program and he stands his ground and tells Card that he won't talk to him without a witness from the DOJ, specifically the Solicitor General.

New Republic article on three guys who planned to slaughter a apartment building full of refugees and immigrants:

https://newrepublic.com/article/142346/kansas-meatpacking-somali-muslim-refugee-murder-plot-trump-supporters

quote:

Two days later, Stein met again with the undercover agent, this time at a McDonald’s in Dodge City. He loaded 300 pounds of ammonium nitrate into the agent’s car, then went inside for breakfast. The FBI arrested him, and picked up Gavin Wright outside G&G Homes. A search of a storage locker Wright had rented turned up bomb-making materials and a safe full of semiautomatic rifles and handguns. When an agent asked if Stein had any misgivings about killing children, he expressed no remorse. Most of his targets, he insisted, were “fighting age.”

Apparently Roger Aile's son is as much of a scumbag as he was

quote:

According to LifeZette, whose EIC Laura Ingraham attended the funeral, Zachary vowed to clear his father’s name (good luck!) and then dropped this line on everyone.

“I want all the people who betrayed my father to know that I’m coming after them and hell is coming with me.”

If that sounds familiar, it’s because he took it from Kurt Russell’s Wyatt Earp in “Tombstone.”

Current event: It's 6 years after the Fukushima fuckup, and TEPCO is still not even remotely underway unfucking their fuckup.

Nope, they've managed to gently caress up a whole lot more, and are trying to keep it on the down-low, something they definitely didn't do in 2011.

Look: While TEPCO is a fuckup and needs to answer for the meltdown, its largely overblown at this point. A couple studies carried out by Canadian Nuclera groups showed that the overall radiation released outside of the reactor building amounts to nill in the long run, and the leaks are largely diluted by the ocean.

Flynn's doing the best thing for himself, as the fifth doesn't actually imply guilt. There's a feeding frenzy starting, Flynn offered to testify with immunity, he didn't get it from FBI/Congress, so he won't testify.

Unfortunately for Donnie, everyone THINKS the fifth implies guilt and there's poo poo like this out there: https://twitter.com/GenFlynn/status/745944681331122180

So now, Flynn's interests are not Donnie's interests.

It doesn't just imply guilt in this case, he has a long and public record of doing things that heavily bring us to believe he's guilty of something. And instead of clearing the waters, he just threw chum into it.
