Top law firms are turning down the opportunity to represent Trump

quote:

The lawyers and their firms cited a variety of factors in choosing not to take on the president as a client. Some, like Brendan Sullivan, said they had upcoming trials or existing commitments that would make it impossible for them to devote the necessary time and resources to Trump’s defense.

Others mentioned potential conflicts with clients of their firms, such as financial institutions that have already received subpoenas relating to potential money-laundering issues that are part of the investigation.

But a consistent theme, the sources said, was the concern about whether the president would accept the advice of his lawyers and refrain from public statements and tweets that have consistently undercut his position.

“The concerns were, ‘The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,’” said one lawyer close to the White House who is familiar with some of the discussions between the firms and the administration, as well as deliberations within the firms themselves.

What is a Cole?
Let me think for a second
Oh, he gets butt-naked
And then he walks through the streets
Winking at the freaks
With a two-liter stuck in his butt-cheeks

What is a Cole?
He just don't care
He might try to put a weave
In his nut hair
'cause he could give a gently caress less
What a bitch thinks
He tell her that her butt stinks
And all that

What is a Cole?
He drinks like a fish
And then he starts huggin people
Like a drunk bitch
Next thing, he's pickin fights
With his best friends
Then he starts with the huggin again
gently caress!

It's from War Machine though. Which is a pretty good movie.

I still need to watch it. Is Lakeith Stanfield's character any good? He's great in Atlanta and Get Out so I'm hopeful that he makes the movie worthwhile.

Actually, looking at IMDB he plays Cole

News from throughout the world, courtesy of the New York Times:

Polio outbreak in Syria posted:

At least 17 children in eastern Syria have been paralyzed from a recently confirmed outbreak of polio, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, punctuating the health risks to a population ravaged by more than six years of war.

It is the second outbreak of the crippling disease to hit Syria since the war began, and largely reflected the inability of health workers to immunize all children caught in conflict zones where access is difficult and sanitation is poor.

[...]

Along with a recent measles outbreak near Damascus, the Syrian capital, and a cholera scourge raging in war-torn Yemen, Dr. Venters said, the new polio outbreak “is another indication that public health systems have been decimated by these conflicts.”

As of late March and April, Mr. Jasarevic said, there had been some vaccinations in parts of the Deir al-Zour area, “but security remained an issue and that’s why many children were not vaccinated.”

Islamist militants seize school in Philippines posted:

MANILA — Islamist militants seized an elementary school in the restive southern Philippines on Wednesday, according to the military, which said that the gunmen might be holding hostages.

The militants, from a splinter group called the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, seized Malagakit Elementary School in the town of Pigcawayan as they were retreating from a nearby government outpost they had attacked, the military said.

“The initial report is that they have 12 hostages, six of them students,” said Capt. Arvin Encinas, a local spokesman for the military. The military could not definitively confirm the report or identify the hostages, if any.

[...]

On Monday, the Philippine government included the Bangsamoro group on a list of 20 armed organizations said to be allied with the Islamic State, along with Abu Sayyaf and the Maute group. The list was part of a memorandum filed to the Supreme Court in support of President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent declaration of martial law on Mindanao, in response to the Islamist takeover of Marawi. The Bangsamoro group is not known to have made any public declaration of allegiance to the Islamic State, unlike the Maute group and Abu Sayyaf.

Remember how the Senate passed a bill for harsher sanctions against Russia?

[quote="
White House Tries to Get G.O.P. to Water Down Russia Sanctions Bill"]
WASHINGTON � The White House is quietly lobbying House Republicans to weaken a bill overwhelmingly passed by the Senate last week that would slap tough new sanctions on Russia for its meddling in the 2016 election and allow Congress to block any future move by President Trump to lift any penalties against Moscow.

The effort is designed to head off an awkward and politically damaging veto fight between the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress on Russia at a time when Mr. Trump is laboring under the shadow of multiple investigations about his campaign�s potential collusion with Moscow.

House Republicans, normally hawkish on Russia, face a choice between demonstrating a hard line against Moscow in the face of its misconduct and sparing their own president a potentially embarrassing confrontation.

[...]

Last week, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson warned lawmakers during an unrelated hearing against imposing new sanctions at all, arguing that it would undermine the administration�s efforts to forge new diplomatic channels with Russia.

Time wants Trump to remove the fake magazines

quote:

Time magazine has asked the Trump Organisation to remove a framed front cover featuring Donald Trump from several of its golf clubs after it was proven to be fake.

[...]

The framed fake Trump cover was hung in two prominent positions at Mr Trump’s golf resort in Doral, Florida and in the member’s dining room at the Trump National Golf Club near Washington DC.

It was at the same course that a plaque was unveiled overlooking the Potomac River, setting out the bloody details of a Civil War battle apparently fought on the spot. However, historians say no such event ever took place.

[...]

There was no response from the Trump Organization to the use of the fake Time cover.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House spokesman, told the Washington Post: “We couldn’t comment on the decor at Trump Golf clubs one way or another.”

A Democratic representative mocked Mr Trump by creating his own fake Time cover:
