		<description>Awwwww. Here are the &lt;b&gt;facts&lt;/b&gt;. Anyone like you who has provided their personal information and that of their family online has no one to blame but themselves if people can pull up their multiple mugshots... yes, we &lt;b&gt;do&lt;/b&gt; both know it as does anyone with two brain cells to rub together. 

So nice try, though, bro! Look on the bright side. You can now stop pretending. 

As always... troll harder. :) *LOL*

&lt;i&gt;You tried to extort me into silence by claiming you had a mugshot of me.... &lt;/i&gt;

Your lies are as pathetic as they are predictable. I said I lost count of the mugshots of your Trumpian-like crime family and encouraged you to troll harder.

I lost count of the family mugshots; you must be so proud of your crime family... a regular little Trumpian group of criminals except the flat broke and living in a double wide in Shithole, Florida part.

We here in Weigantia totally understand your bitterness and hatred; your hatred is well established for all to see and permeates nearly every comment, along with the obvious poor judgment and ignorance, of course. Paula is right that you really aren&#039;t quite living up to our expectations. We here in Weigantia expect so much more in a board troll, and you really still can do better.

Troll harder, please. :) *LOL*

&lt;b&gt;We&#039;d like to see things from Michale&#039;s point of view, but we can&#039;t get our heads that far up our asses. &lt;/b&gt;~ Weigantia

So you are either quite content to lie or you have reading comprehension problems. What part confused you?

Again... I encourage you to troll harder. Your fabrication and repetitive bullshit does not quite live up to what we here expect in our board trolls. :) *LOL*</description>

		<description>Paula [100]: That&#039;s a very good article.

It&#039;s a good reminder that GOP truculence, incompetence, blithe insistence on obviously insincere statements, blame casting, and fiscal irresponsibility aren&#039;t at all new. Trump is just the GOP personified.</description>

		<description>Russ: &lt;i&gt;Since Trump took office, you could say someone who commits domestic violence is acting downright “presidential”, and you’d be correct! &lt;/i&gt;

Michale: &lt;i&gt;YOU would say that..

Considering how you Dumbocrats revered Bubba Clinton, it&#039;s been &quot;presidential&quot; for quite a while now... &lt;/i&gt;

Wrong. Michale was 100% correct when he confessed he wasn&#039;t a &quot;history buff.&quot; While there are many things to which he could deflect regarding Bill Clinton&#039;s behavior in order to absolve His Orange Worship, being &quot;someone who commits domestic violence&quot; is NOT one of them. 

The Clintons are all-purpose straw men arguments; you just make up whatever bullshit you like and stick their name to it. It&#039;s the hallmark of GOP propaganda.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Vanessa Trump and two other people were taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center strictly as a precaution.

The NYPD said the white powder in the envelope was deemed to be non-hazardous and was taken to a lab for further analysis. More testing is being done, but officials said it appeared the substance was harmless corn starch.

&quot;How disturbed must a person be to do what they did to a mother of five children?&#039;&#039; Michael Cohen, President Trump&#039;s personal attorney, said in a statement. &quot;This dangerous and reckless act goes beyond political differences.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Vanessa Trump taken to hospital as precaution after white powder sent to her home
by TOM WINTER and JONATHAN DIENST

The suspicious letter that sent President Donald Trump&#039;s daughter-in-law to a Manhattan hospital was postmarked from Boston and appeared to contain corn starch, multiple senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The letter was addressed to Vanessa Trump&#039;s husband, Donald Trump Jr., the president&#039;s eldest son, officials said.&lt;/B&gt;

&quot;So, you are saying your entire existence is on the backs of slaves and native Americans???

That being the case, you have no right to exist..&quot;

NO. Where did I say that? Where did I use the word ENTIRE?

Stop putting words into people&#039;s mouths and reading things into things that simply aren&#039;t there. You have been warned about doing both before Michale. Along with making sweeping generalizations that simply aren&#039;t true, lack of reading comprehension, and interjecting other topics that are not relevant to the subject at hand in order to obscure the fact that you don&#039;t really have any relevant counter points.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with today. The present does NOT exist in a vacuum. It didn&#039;t just &quot;spring&quot; out of NOWHERE. History, has a starting point, a middle (the present) and an end. Even today has an origin point that can&#039;t be ignored. How many effective policies do you think that there are that ignore the root causes they are trying to solve? In any field of endeavor?&lt;/I&gt;

&quot;You&#039;re right, I should have said &quot;an ELABORATE pile of stones&quot;.

I dunno &quot;where western civilization went&quot;, but it didn&#039;t revert to the stone age.

Just yankin&#039; your chain a mite.&quot;

Neither did American or African civilizations revert to the stone age either. Though plenty did lament just how far a majority of European civilization fell and how much knowledge that was lost and did not get rediscovered until the Renaissance. To go from Hippocrates to the Black Death is quite a drop. It wasn&#039;t called the &quot;Dark Ages&quot; in Europe for nothing. 

But I accept your concession and apology.</description>

&quot;So, where did those writers, philosophers and university professors go? I doubt that they were there when their Arabic north African neighbors were rounding up the West African Negros to sell them to the white slave traders.&quot;

Where did all of Western Civilization go after the fall of Classical Greece or the fall of Rome?

The condition of the present does not negate or erase the achievements of the past.

It does not justify the present, it merely helps explain it.

And it is not always a reliable predictor of the future, it just provides a context.</description>

&quot;Second, the Native Americans had the entire western hemisphere all to themselves for hundreds of thousands of years, and never even came close to populating it to any significant degree. I&#039;d say that that failure pretty much obviated their claims to ownership of most of that land.&quot;

So, actually taking STEWARDSHIP of the land and not GROSSLY OVERPOPULATING it justifies saying that any claim to it is necessarily void???

It also ignores the millions of people who WERE HERE in the Aztec and Inca empires at the time of European contact and were wiped out by European diseases.

That would be like saying if the next strain of the FLU came from China and wiped out 90 percent of the population of the United States, the Chinese would then be justified in taking over North American because Europeans were unsuccessful in filling up the land. It pretty much amounts to the same line of reasoning. 

Also, even if Native Americans did not view the land as individual ownership, they were still here and occupied it FIRST. How does that excuse Europeans displacing them by force? By unequal and broken treaties? By treaties largely written in English, in a language Native Americans both neither spoke nor understood? How FAIR would a written contract be today if YOU had to sign one written in Arabic or Russian or Chinese?</description>

		<description>A very good piece about how we got here:

https://crooked.com/article/boycotting-republicans-isnt-enough/

&lt;i&gt;The Republican Party isn’t going to “right itself or implode” unless that kind of unprincipled behavior is rendered toxic. It should be considered disreputable outside of movement conservatism to work for Fox News or for the same RNC that propped up Trump, and then backed Roy Moore in Alabama. If you conduct yourself the way Devin Nunes has conducted himself as Trump’s agent atop the House Intelligence Committee, you shouldn’t just have to worry about losing your seat, but about your name being dirt.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

&quot;Correct, but is not a pyramid just a stack of stones?

So, where did those writers, philosophers and university professors go? I doubt that they were there when their Arabic north African neighbors were rounding up the West African Negros to sell them to the white slave traders.&quot;

WOW, JUST WOW. How much more of a deliberate downplay can you put on display to try to justify European superiority???

A pyramid is JUST a pile of stones, really???

Ignoring all the engineering required and involved in building such a structure?

All the complex mathematics involved to so precisely cut stone, place it correctly, the sophisticated level of cooperation needed both socially and politically, to sustain such an effort, dedicate resources and planning to it over YEARS? Align it with the specific stars and the solstice during certain times of the year.

To do it without modern machinery like cranes and bull dozers. Without even using modern cement. Yet still not have any seems between stones. 

By the way. Timbuktu as famous AS an ISLAMIC center.</description>

Re our &quot;Theft of Native American land&quot; to build our &quot;mansions&quot;.  

Just a couple points.  First, private ownership of land was an alien concept for the Indians.  Most of them tried to enforce some degree of tribal territoriality, but it never even occurred to them that any specific individual could or should &quot;own&quot; a specific parcel of mother earth.  

Second, the Native Americans had the entire western hemisphere all to themselves for hundreds of thousands of years, and never even came close to populating it to any significant degree.  I&#039;d say that that failure pretty much obviated their claims to ownership of most of that land.</description>

&quot;However, I would point out that prior to their involvement with white folks, both those other two groups were firmly ensconced in the stone age, where only rarely did anybody ever have any chance to be involved with anything beyond the struggle for the next meal.&quot;

THAT is an ignorant statement that totally ignores real world history. Native Americans were building pyramids at the same time as Rome was building its empire. And several African kingdoms were coming into being at the same time as Charlemagne&#039;s empire in Europe. Timbuktu in West Africa was a major center of writing, philosophy and literature and had a University at the same time as the Middle Ages were taking place in Europe.</description>

And what does that have to do with the here and now???

Absolutely nothing...&quot;

If ignorance is bliss, you must be in a permanent state of ecstasy, rapture, and euphoria.

It has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with today. The present does NOT exist in a vacuum. It didn&#039;t just &quot;spring&quot; out of NOWHERE. History, has a starting point, a middle (the present) and an end. Even today has an origin point that can&#039;t be ignored. How many effective policies do you think that there are that ignore the root causes they are trying to solve? In any field of endeavor?</description>

Valid points indeed, but also mostly beside the point I&#039;ve been trying to make.

Nevertheless, I would NEVER attempt to minimize or to downplay the problems and hardships that the brown and the black folks have had to endure in dealing with being overrun by white folks.

However, I would point out that prior to their involvement with white folks, both those other two groups were firmly ensconced in the stone age, where only rarely did anybody ever have any chance to be involved with anything beyond the struggle for the next meal.

Hard as their current lives have been, I&#039;m betting that not a single one, given the choice, would choose to revert to the stone age.</description>

&quot;So, your contention is that it was the Indians and the black folks who built (To quote neilm&#039;s [65], which is where this discussion began) the &quot;better schools, safer neighborhoods and wealth built up over generations&quot; which are the things that gave you and me our &quot;leg up&quot; and enabled us to &quot;hit the lottery at birth&quot;??&quot;

In a word, YES. Who provided the land for those wealthy homes? In a lot of cases, it was land taken from Native Americans.

Who built those mansions and served as domestic workers? In a lot of cases, it was black labor.

Who was shut out of those wealthy neighborhoods by practices like red lining by banks? Black folk.

Who built up wealth in major corporations from railroads to mines at the expense of exploited non union labor, miners, farm workers, ranch hands, share croppers, etc?

Let&#039;s get real Stucki. You can chose to turn a blind eye. But all was not and is not the clear black and white photo you try to make it out to be, and never was.</description>

&quot;My objections to neilm&#039;s &quot;leg-up&quot; and &quot;ungrateful&quot; terminology would be that it implies that our &quot;freewhite&amp;twenty-one&quot; favored status was achieved at somebody else&#039;s expense.&quot;

It was achieved at someone else&#039;s expense. Not all of it. But a lot of it was. If you can&#039;t even acknowledge that as a real part of our history, then you are being deliberately ignorant. This country has a long tradition of being built at the expense of others, as Balthasar pointed out to you, regarding both the use of slave labor and cheating and stealing from Native Americans. Both gave huge parts of the nation unfair advantages for decades at their expense. You can&#039;t expect to move forward today without acknowledging the past.</description>

&lt;i&gt;ll of it starts to feed on itself. The President is defined by his predation. He attracts these people to him or they are the only options available and he in turn protects them. He’s staffed by the inexperienced, the incompetent and the reprobate. They are unable to hide his nature even when it would be in his interest to allow them to do so. The rush of crises and incapacity yields desperation and lying, in part because of the nature of the situation but even more because these behaviors are validated from the top. Did John Kelly start out as a liar? We don’t know. He seems to be one and a not terribly good one now. Porter’s exposure is like a brief but sustained flash of light amidst the moral darkness and squalor of Trump White House, briefly illuminating all the dreck and rot of the rough beast of Trumpism.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

Did John Kelly start out as a liar? We don’t know. He seems to be one and a not terribly good one now. Porter’s exposure is like a brief but sustained flash of light amidst the moral darkness and squalor of Trump White House, briefly illuminating all the dreck and rot of the rough beast of Trumpism.</i></p>

		<description>Today the Jerusalem Post ran a short article about the F-16 shoot down.

http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Israeli-F-16-pilots-speak-The-force-of-the-blast-could-have-killed-us-542346

Four key points in the story:

The missile warhead exploded &quot;at some distance&quot;

The crew were injured by warhead fragments.

The aircraft was rendered unmanageable by the explosion.

The crew ejected &quot;seconds&quot; after the missile exploded.

The above are consistent with speculation that the F-16 was hit close to home by a long range SA-5 (AKA S-200) which is a rather old design and has been in the Syrian active inventory since the 1980s.

All this raises four questions relating to what happens next:

Lucky shot?

Israeli pilot/command control error? 

Israeli countermeasure network hardware malfunction?

SA-5 upgrade?

I doubt anybody really knows yet.</description>

So,  your contention is that it was the Indians and the black folks who built (To quote  neilm&#039;s [65], which is where this discussion began) the &quot;better schools, safer neighborhoods and wealth built up over generations&quot; which are the things that gave you and me our &quot;leg up&quot; and enabled us to &quot;hit the lottery at birth&quot;??

Very interesting. 

&lt;i&gt;Instead they watch Fox News and whine all the time that they don&#039;t think all Americans should get the same opportunities they got. And the lazy and useless among the Republicans (i.e. most of them) are collecting social security and medicare and whining as hard working, education-hungry immigrants and previously oppressed Americans overtake them.&lt;/i&gt;

Nailed it! :)</description>

		<description>Balthy

I have indeed expounded on the theme of &quot;productive vs. unproductive&quot;, but I don&#039;t recall that the subject of those discourses was ever gov&#039;t welfare.  I&#039;m actually not unalterably opposed to gov&#039;t welfare transfers.

My objections to neilm&#039;s &quot;leg-up&quot; and &quot;ungrateful&quot; terminology would be that it implies that our &quot;freewhite&amp;twenty-one&quot; favored status was achieved at somebody else&#039;s expense.

If we did indeed &quot;hit the lottery at birth&quot;, it&#039;s because the forbears of the &quot;haves and the have nots&quot; were the &quot;dids and the did nots&quot;.</description>

		<description>Okay Stucki, let me put it this way:

The Trump phenomenon is famously one of grievance. 

You have to admit that much.

Now I used to have a buddy who would say, &quot;I&#039;m free, white and over 21, what CAN&#039;T I do?

And he had a point.

But many in the GOP these days seem to feel the opposite, that they are the oppressed class in America, and that the playing board has been tilted against them.  You&#039;ve complained yourself about the government money that goes to &#039;non-productive&#039; folks at the expense of the &#039;productive&#039;.

Which all means that you (and the GOP) think that the underclass is taking too much of the pie, which is nonsense in an America where the top one percent own as much as everyone else put together. And just got richer, thanks to a craven Republican majority.

But Republicans keep whining about payments to the poor, as though that&#039;s what&#039;s keeping us all down. 

Which is also so much nonsense. Someone calculated once that just a third of the US military budget would be all we&#039;d need to give every American a suite in a luxury hotel for life.

So we come back to Neil&#039;s point. In global terms, Republican Americans hit the lottery at birth. What are they all whining about?</description>

1) Your Frogs&#039;n&#039;gym-class comparison is NOt an equivalence, it&#039;s a non sequitur.

2) You&#039;ve never heard me &quot;piss&#039;n&#039;moan&quot;.

3) I don&#039;t have any &quot;problems&quot; (in the sense you use the word), so I can&#039;t blame them on black folks.

4) I do not &quot;consume right-wing media&quot;,&#039;cause I have no access to it.  MY only TV comes over an old-fashioned roof-top antenna.  Actually, believe it or not, the only political media I do consume is LEFT-WING media (specifically, Amy Goodman&#039;s stuff) &#039;cause that&#039;s all I can receive.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Let me rephrase it: There are a lot of &#039;snowflake Republicans&#039; who piss and moan as if they&#039;re the true victims of the modern age. After the election, rivers of newsprint were devoted to the angst of mostly white, rural men who told reporters that they felt that something had been &#039;taken from them&#039; over the course of the Obama years, when in fact all that had happened was that a Democrat occupied the White House for two terms, and he was a black man. What did they lose?&lt;/I&gt;

And THERE is the race card...  :^/

		<description>CR: [70]: &lt;i&gt;Your statement, &quot;Republicans are ungrateful for the leg-up they have been given in America&quot;, seems to convey the premise that &quot;America&quot; and &quot;Republicans&quot; are somehow separate entities.&lt;/i&gt;

No more than the statement &quot;Girls are upset about all the frogs brought to Gym Class&quot; conveys the premise that &#039;girls&#039; and &#039;Gym Class&#039; are separate entities.

Let me rephrase it: There are a lot of &#039;snowflake Republicans&#039; who piss and moan as if &lt;i&gt;they&#039;re&lt;/i&gt; the true victims of the modern age. After the election, rivers of newsprint were devoted to the angst of mostly white, rural men who told reporters that they felt that something had been &#039;taken from them&#039; over the course of the Obama years, when in fact all that had happened was that a Democrat occupied the White House for two terms, and he was a black man.  What did they lose?

Their minds, apparently. Their sense of decency, morality, and propriety. All sense of fiscal responsibility, evidently. They seem to want desperately to blame all of their problems on black folks, immigrants, uppity women, gays, the press and distant academics.

My advice to them is to stop consuming Right wing media, which only exists to make them angry and outraged, and does so because it&#039;s profitable.

		<description>neilm  [65] 2nd para,  &quot;Anyway it looks like . . .etc&quot;

Your statement, &quot;Republicans are ungrateful for the leg-up they have been given in America&quot;, seems to convey the premise that &quot;America&quot; and &quot;Republicans&quot; are somehow separate entities.  What is your point in that?  You seem to be implying thereby that &quot;America&quot; consists only of Democrats, right?  

Otherwise, it would amount to something akin to &#039;Republicans are ungrateful for they leg-up they have provided for themselves&#039;, would it not?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;There were no planes shot down in the Israeli raid on Iranian and Syrian targets...&lt;/I&gt;

To clarify..  There were multiple raids....

There was a raid on the C&amp;C bunker controlling the drone that violated Israeli airspace..  During the course of that raid, a single IAF F-16 was hit by AA flak, but made it back to Israeli territory...

There was a subsequent raid as a result of that downing and that raid was flawless...

Once again, Israel proves that they are the best of the best..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Is the Israeli&#039;s plan to have two planes shot down next time so they are twice as successful?&lt;/I&gt;

There were no planes shot down in the Israeli raid on Iranian and Syrian targets...

So, once again, leave military matters to professionals.. :D

		<description>Maybe it would be quicker for the White House to list only the people that &lt;b&gt;do&lt;/b&gt; have full security clearances.

I mean, we were promised the &quot;best people&quot;, and with thought that would usually overlap with &quot;the people the FBI trusts with America&#039;s secrets&quot;.

		<description>Barry Ritholtz had an interesting chart on his daily diary (if you don&#039;t real Ritholtz, I recommend you check him out, he usually has interesting links on his daily &quot;Reads&quot; and his investment advice is usually very sound).

http://ritholtz.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/advantages.png

Anyway, it looks like a lot of Republicans are ungrateful for the leg up they have been given in America. They should be thankful that America gave them better schools, safer neighborhoods, and wealth built over generations when non-whites were kept out of good opportunities.

Instead they watch Fox News and whine all the time that they don&#039;t think all Americans should get the same opportunities they got. And the lazy and useless among the Republicans (i.e. most of them) are collecting social security and medicare and whining as hard working, education-hungry immigrants and previously oppressed Americans overtake them.</description>

		<description>CNN has some brief footage purporting to show one of the F-16 pilots descending by parachute. It&#039;s not the typical circular dome chute of a &quot;stock&quot; F-16 ACES II ejection system, it looks to a &quot;square&quot; ram air chute like a sport jumper would use. 

Ram air chutes have better glide ratios, are more maneuverable and land more softly than a traditional dome, but are generally considered less reliable.  The ability to pick a better landing zone (think cover), and not breaking bones on impact (think evasion) may outweigh an increase in chute failure.  

The Israeli arms industry is sophisticated and often thinks outside the box. Or the footage shown on CNN (and elsewhere) might be misattributed to the shoot down. Anyhow, it caught my eye.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You know what would be even better than Trump being blackmailed?

That would be one or both of the Clintons being blackmailed.

Seriously.&lt;/I&gt;

I am not sure if &quot;better&quot; would be the term I would use...

&quot;More likely&quot; would be more apropos..

The Clintons strike me as being much more &quot;status conscious&quot; than President Trump and more inclined to be susceptible to blackmail..

You really can&#039;t blackmail a person who doesn&#039;t give a flying frak as to what people think of them...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Associated Press sums it up nicely: “Senate Democratic leaders have dropped their strategy of using the funding fight to extract concessions on immigration, specifically on seeking extended protections for the ‘Dreamer’ immigrants.”

That’s a nice way of saying that Democrats folded. But why? Recall that just two weeks ago Democrats called a DACA-based amnesty nothing short of a moral imperative and “the civil rights issue of our day.” Rhetorical modesty is not considered a virtue on the Left. Neither, apparently, is constancy.

After the Schumer Shutdown turned into a public relations debacle Dick Durbin inveighed, Chuck Schumer threatened, and Nancy Pelosi…well, we couldn’t quite decipher what Nancy Pelosi said but we’re pretty sure it was meant to express Resistance™! They postured and preened for a few days but then Donald Trump offered them a DACA deal that gave them more than they asked for—nearly 2 million people legalized with a path to citizenship in exchange for some modest border security—and they walked away. Apparently, Democrats couldn’t take yes for an answer.&lt;/B&gt;

Dumbocrats got played like an out-of-tune fiddle and President Trump was the fiddle-master!!! :D

I wonder how illegal immigrant criminals like their Dumbocrats now??  :D</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The Associated Press sums it up nicely: “Senate Democratic leaders have dropped their strategy of using the funding fight to extract concessions on immigration, specifically on seeking extended protections for the ‘Dreamer’ immigrants.”</p>
<p>That’s a nice way of saying that Democrats folded. But why? Recall that just two weeks ago Democrats called a DACA-based amnesty nothing short of a moral imperative and “the civil rights issue of our day.” Rhetorical modesty is not considered a virtue on the Left. Neither, apparently, is constancy.</p>
<p>After the Schumer Shutdown turned into a public relations debacle Dick Durbin inveighed, Chuck Schumer threatened, and Nancy Pelosi…well, we couldn’t quite decipher what Nancy Pelosi said but we’re pretty sure it was meant to express Resistance™! They postured and preened for a few days but then Donald Trump offered them a DACA deal that gave them more than they asked for—nearly 2 million people legalized with a path to citizenship in exchange for some modest border security—and they walked away. Apparently, Democrats couldn’t take yes for an answer.</b><br />

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So they wanted to have one of their planes shot down?&lt;/I&gt;

Don&#039;t you think doubling down on your military ignorance is a stoopid move??

&lt;I&gt;And you think that is sound military planning?&lt;/I&gt;

Once again, you are wallowing in your ignorance of military matters.

&lt;B&gt;NO&lt;/B&gt; battle plan survives contact with the enemy..</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;IN CASE Y&#039;ALL MISSED IT &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;A federal court just unsealed Trump’s 20-year-old dirty secrets&lt;/b&gt;

A federal appeals court just issued a ruling (embedded &lt;del&gt;below&lt;/del&gt; [at link]) that will unseal records dating back 20-years about Donald Trump’s former senior advisor and original Russian connection, the mobster Felix Sater. Forbes Media LLC and reporter Richard Behar filed the successful request to reveal Felix Sater’s criminal past.

Sater’s company, Bayrock, developed the Trump SoHo Hotel-Condominium in lower Manhattan and a tower in Fort Lauderdale, which both spawned fraud lawsuits, one of which went all the way to the Supreme Court to partially unseal his criminal past and mafia ties.

Now, the 2nd Circuit Federal Court of Appeals has issued a ruling to publicly reveal the court dockets, briefings and records related to Sater’s 1998 conviction for running a massive pump-and-dump penny stock scam. The three-judge panel opined:

The special master shall, in close consultation with the Office of the Clerk of Court, oversee the unsealing all the documents on the dockets of the two above-captioned appeals for which the Report recommends unsealing.

The 21 documents on those dockets which the Report recommends be unsealed subject to redaction shall be redacted in the manner set forth in the Report and the Addenda. 

Notably, in addition to unsealing Sater’s criminal history, the court’s order will release a brief in the case written by Trump biographer and Pulitzer-winning journalist David Cay Johnson.

		<description>Michale,

You know what would be even better than Trump being blackmailed?

That would be one or both of the Clintons being blackmailed.

Seriously.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; You didn&#039;t demand Odumbo release school records in the name of transparency...&lt;/I&gt;

You are right., I didn’t.  If he had promised he would release the records if he were elected and then showed what a lying coward he truly was by refusing to release them after he took office....I would have demanded that he release them!   You can request his college transcript if you need them.  

Trump’s tax records would show just how much or how little influence foreign money has on his present life.  Obama’s transcripts showing that he passed Table Tennis 101 as an elective really isn’t that relevant.  I know you just cannot accept that a black man could be smart enough to earn a degree, but they aren’t the lesser species that you and Trump seem to think that they are.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;you do know they just got one of their planes shot down, right?

Sort of a failure in most people&#039;s books.&lt;/I&gt;

Only in those people&#039;s books who are ignorant of military matters...

&lt;B&gt;Israel struck 12 targets in Syria, including four Iranian targets, in a “large-scale attack” after the drone infiltration, the Israel Defense Forces said. An F-16 fighter plane crashed in northern Israel after coming under fire from Syrian anti-aircraft missiles, and the pilots were hospitalized with moderate to severe injuries. &lt;/B&gt;

Israel could have lost 10 times the fighters and it STILL would have been a success....

What&#039;s the *NUMBER ONE* priority to ANY military operation??

I&#039;ll give you a hint..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;You keep yer priorities straight.. Your mission and your men..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
