"Remember The Titans" football coach has died

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/highschool/2019/12/18/herman-boone-remember-titans-football-coach-dies-84/2689879001/

Herman Boone, the legendary high school football coach portrayed by Denzel Washington in the iconic movie "Remember the Titans," has died. He was 84.

Boone took over as head coach of T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1971 -- the year the city's high schools were integrated and consolidated. Led by Boone, who was black, and assistant coach Bill Yoast, who was white, the Titans football team overcame racial tension to go undefeated and win the state championship.

Former T.C. Williams principal John Porter informed the school Wednesday of Boone's death and the school's football boosters club announced it on Twitter.

Boone's death comes six months after Yoast died in May at the age of 94.

Trump's chief-of-tweets loses Dutchess County home

https://midhudsonnews.com/2019/12/11/trumps-chief-of-tweets-loses-dutchess-county-home/

A senior White House official has lost his Hopewell Junction (NY) home as a result of a foreclosure action.

Dan Scavino, considered President Trump’s Director of Social Media, purchased the 4,200 square foot home on St. Andrews Road in the Legends at Beekman Country Club in 2008, with his wife at the time, Jennifer. According to county land records, the couple paid $560,000 for the house.
By the time the Scavinos purchased the home, Dan had developed a very strong personal relationship with President Trump, having worked as a caddie at Trump National Golf Course in Westchester since he was 16 years old.

(snip)

In April of 2015, Scavino used Twitter to announce that his wife, 39-years-old at the time, had been suffering from Chronic Inflammatory Polyneuropathy Disease developed after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite. Just two months later, Scavino was working on the Trump campaign.
A month after that, in July, the Scavinos filed for bankruptcy citing mounting medical expenses relating to Jennifer’s disease. The couple and their two children continued to live in the Hopewell Junction home.

In January of 2018, Jennifer Scavino filed for divorce in Dutchess County.

Ted Lieu: Trump enablers will blanch at what comes out. . .

during the open hearings.

On what went on this week, a reminder:

https://twitter.com/tedlieu/status/1187862215631749120

These aren't hearings. These are investigative interviews, with both Dems & GOP participating. Investigations are not done in public.

Once investigation is complete, we'll hold open hearings. And Trump enablers will blanche at what comes out during the open hearings.


(boldface emphasis is mine - DMH)


IOW: What we saw, read and heard this week is only the beginning. Hold on to your seats and get more popcorn.

Laurence Tribe: Don't Be A Chump For Trump

https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1178794503068700677
MEMO TO ALL TRUMP’s ENABLERS:

The truth will come out.

Don’t be a chump for Trump.

Remember he’s loyal only to himself.
If principle doesn’t motivate you, self-preservation should.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

TRUMP ENABLERS: YOU. HAVE. BEEN. WARNED.
