"How to respond to FSB offer of employment?"

Paul Erickson, GOP operative, seems to have been quite open about his eagerness to sell out his country to Putin:

"Unrelated to specific presidential campaigns,” Erickson wrote in an October 2016 email to an acquaintance that was later obtained by the FBI, “I’ve been involved in securing a VERY private line of communication between the Kremlin and key [unnamed political party] leaders through, of all conduits, the [unnamed gun-rights organization].”

Trump tells crowd in birthplace of Elvis he looked like the singer growing up

Source: CNN

President Trump gave Elvis a shout-out in Tupelo, which he called the “proud birthplace of the King of Rock n Roll.”

“You’ll say I’m very conceited,” Trump said, adding, “Other than the blond hair when I was growing up they said I look like Elvis.”

Did Trump just threaten to blackmail some Democrat?

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-threat-democratic-senator-brett-kavanaugh-investigation-allegations-2018-10

He is such a bs-er. "I've seen that person..." He's never seen whoever this is. And he's just making it up.

--


President Donald Trump issued a vague threat to an unnamed Democratic senator during a Monday press conference while addressing scrutiny of his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's drinking habits.

Trump was fielding questions from reporters about an FBI investigation into sexual-misconduct allegations when he said he supported Kavanaugh being interviewed. But he cast doubt on Senate Democrats' apparent interest in the judge's drinking habits in high school and college.

"They're going back to high school, they're saying he drank a lot one evening in high school," Trump said, referring to the Senate Judiciary Committee's questions into Kavanaugh's past drinking habits after two women described drunken incidents of sexual assault and misconduct from his time in high school and college that Kavanaugh denied.

Trump continued: "I happen to know some United States senators, one on the other side who is pretty aggressive — I've seen that person in very bad situations ... somewhat compromising."

Maya Wiley fangirling here.

(She's on MSNBC tonight.)

If they do a film about Olympic gods, Maya Wiley should play Athena-- wise, compassionate, beautiful.

He really is even dumber than we thought


Charlie Pierce on glimpses from the Woodward book:
How to lower the national debt:
"Just run the presses — print money," Trump said, according to Woodward, during a discussion on the national debt with Gary Cohn, former director of the White House National Economic Council.

He honestly thought you could just print the $20 trillion and wipe out the debt.


I don't understand how he could have run a business and not have heard of "inflation."

I have James Clapper's book in audio-- can send to your email

Thanks to demtenjeep for offering print versions of these "insider" books! I have a few of these books in Audible format (audiobook), which I could send to you if you've never gotten an audible book this way. I think it comes to you as a link, and you can listen to it on your PC or phone. Let me know-- I would need an email or mobile phone #.

BTW, the Clapper book is named Facts and Fears. Notice how often 'fear' comes into play in these titles....

California Wildfire Suspect Posted About QAnon, Other Conspiracies

Source: Huff Post

A man arrested on Tuesday in connection with a devastating wildfire in Southern California is a conspiracy theorist who posted videos about satanic rituals and QAnon.

“This place is going to burn,” Forrest Clark, 51, allegedly texted a volunteer fire chief two weeks before an inferno enveloped Orange County, burning nearly 20,000 acres and destroying 12 homes.

The Holy Fire still rages and is only 5 percent contained, the Orange County Register reported.

Another GOP weird cuck nasty-

Illinois state Rep. Nick Sauer has resigned from his post after an ex-girlfriend claimed that he used her nude photographs on an Instagram account in an effort to “catfish” men.


https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/illinois-lawmaker-resigns-catfish-nudes_us_5b631767e4b0de86f49ec7ec

In a complaint Kelly filed with the state’s Office of the Legislative Inspector General, she said he lured men “who believed they were communicating with me” into “graphic conversations of a sexual nature,” according to the Politico report.

Where do they find these guys?
