After promoting birther lies against President Obama for years, I'm not feeling Trump's outrage

He helped to create this atmosphere in the political arena where smears run out of control, now it's come back to bike him in his spray tanned assed.

The man lies about everything, he's a fucking hypocrite. His thin-skinnedness is going to hurt the prestige of the office and of the nation.

OFFICER KILLED
SUSPECT IN DES MOINES OFFICER DEATHS HAS HISTORY OF RACIAL PROVOCATIONS




Wednesday, November 02, 2016
DES MOINES, IA (KTRK) -- Police say they have captured the man who ambushed and killed two Des Moines-area officers just two miles apart overnight.

Authorities took 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene into custody hours after the killings and less than three weeks after he argued with officers who removed him from a high school football game where he had unfurled a Confederate flag near black spectators. Investigators say he has a history of racial provocations and confrontations.

Greene flagged down an Iowa Department of Natural Resources employee in a rural area west of Des Moines, identified himself and asked that the employee call 911. Sheriff's deputies and state patrol officers took him into custody.

He's suspected in the early morning slayings of 24-year-old Justin Martin, who had been with the force in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale since 2015, and 38-year-old Sgt. Anthony Beminio, who joined the Des Moines department in 2005.

Greene was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown health issues and was to be questioned later at Des Moines police headquarters, Sgt. Paul Parizek said.

Georgia cops spend six hours soothing white suspect to give up after he shoots deputy in the head

After a six hour standoff on Monday, law enforcement officials in Georgia successfully took a suspect into custody after he allegedly shot Troup County sheriff’s deputy Michael Hockett in the head.

According to WSB-TV, Hockett was performing a welfare check on Matthew Edmonson when a shotgun blast hit him in the forehead, elbow and waist.

“The deputy then retreated, at which time the individual got into a truck and began driving toward the deputy,” Troup County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Stewart Smith told WSB-TV.

Following the shooting, Edmonson barricaded himself in his home with a pistol and long rifle, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

The paper said that family members were able to convince Edmonson to turn himself in after a six hour standoff with law enforcement agencies, including “the FBI, GBI, local police and a SWAT team.”

I was just wondering what classic dystopian nightmare scenario that we're all going to face soon

I've come to the conclusion that it's going to all of them.

It was fun while it lasted.

Now that Ivanka is getting a fancy new D.C. crib

A place with all the bells and whistles needed for some off the politically beaten path low key confabs and powwows with high profile people, I'm quite sure that making a note of who goes in and out of that mansion should make for really juicy copy.

Hopefully some eager beaver reporters will see this new Trump auxiliary headquarters for what it is: Corruption Central. Connect the dots to conflicts of interest in the new administration. We have a privately owned nexus of Trump's business affairs, right in the belly of the beast for anyone to take notice of.

Insider trading, bribes, wheeler dealer government contracts... The sky's the limit.

If I were an editor, I'd hire some well worn paparazzi types to keep track of Trump's well heeled spawn. Pictures, we need lots of pictures, especially of license plates. Remember that diplomatic plates have country codes, keep a code list handy.

And what do you think they'll find? Grift and graft, everybody. Grift and graft.

The scam is afoot.

Tally ho!!!
