Follow the money and the russians

With all the investigations in to the tRump clan and associates for possible money laundering or other illegal activities the russians may be taking a big hit. Any money laundering that turns up could cause the russians to have their assets seized. I doubt if they will take kindly to tRump clan for the extra attention they receive. I have a feeling after some of the cases come out there may be repercussions from the russian oligarchs against him.

Will donnie sr. change his will?

Of course not for donnie jr. doing it, but getting caught. Think about it. He likes the competition in his underlings. And you can bet he just thinks of them as a family form of that. Grading them on how they do. It really wouldn't surprise me to see shifts in who controls what businesses.

Snorting again?

I only saw a few short segments of his time in Poland. But I thought it looked like he was back at snorting again when he talked about fake news and russia. He seemed to have the same thing going on during the campaign when he lied.

SAN FRANCISCO — A man who allegedly rode his motorcycle through a crowd of activists blocking a San Francisco street during a Wednesday afternoon protest against the GOP health care bill was detained by police after the dangerous stunt.

CBS San Francisco reports protesters had gathered outside the San Francisco Federal Building at 7th and Mission streets at around 12:30 p.m. and were conducting a "die-in," in which a group of around 20 people laid down on Seventh Street to block traffic, when the incident occurred.

Emily Lee, a spokeswoman for the group Bay Resistance, which organized the protest along with Senior and Disability Action, said the man drove up on a red motorcycle, traveling the wrong way on Seventh Street.

"Everyone thought he was just confused, but he didn't stop, and at some point it became clear he was going to come through the crowd and people jumped out of the way," Lee said.

Syria conflict: Australia suspends military air operations

Source: BBC

The pause was a "precautionary measure", the government said, without giving details.

Moscow's warning came after the US shot down a Syrian military plane.

Russia also said it was halting communications with the US aimed at preventing such incidents.

Australia has deployed about 780 military personnel as part of the US-led coalition fighting so-called Islamic State (IS) in both Iraq and Syria.

A tourist resort in Mali popular with Westerners is under attack by gunmen.

The country's government said "suspected jihadists" were behind the assault, AFP reports.

Nearby residents reported hearing shots fired at the luxury destination - Le Campement resort in Dougourakoro, to the east of the capital Bamako.

The government says the attack is ongoing. Malian troops and soldiers from France's Bakhane counter-terrorist force are at the site.

Dipshit donnie the human "Monkey's Paw"

In 1902 author W. W. Jacobs wrote a short story of a magic monkey's paw. It bestowed 3 wishes for each owner. But every time the wishes went terribly wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monkey%27s_Paw

Donnie is that monkey's paw in human form. He wished to win the Presidency and got that wish. But it doesn't seem to have turned out well.

The people around him who directly supported him and wished he would win a lot of those people are now under investigation.

The voters who wished he would be president hoping for a better life are seeing a president who abandoned them the first day. And has gone out of the way to make their lives worse.
