The FBI In Crisis. It's Worse Than You Think
By Eric Lichtblau
|
I did and under Comey, the agency has not been at their best, perhaps even incompetent. But how does this reflect on Mueller's investigation?
Saying FBI is in shambles while perhaps true does not help Trump with his legal problems, unless you expect a judge to throw out all of Mueller's findings because the FBI is inept.
So my response is "so what". Let's bring the conversation back to Russia, Manafort, Cohen and Stormy. Not Fox though and who cares!

I think the FBI has always been a combination of brilliant and bureaucratic. They hire the best and the brightest they can, and have done a pretty good job of maintaining a culture of excellence, for a government agency. But the effects of brainless bureaucratic procedure, and the civil service's penchant for turning human beings into drones, cannot be wholly negated.

Obama’s popularity is rising even as Trump is president
https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nat...TYI/story.html
The current president* is a disgrace. McCain won’t allow the moron to attend his funeral. Only white nationalists and fools like Whell love the SOB. He’s making Obama even more popular than he was while in office.
Donald Trump spent much of his first year in office attempting to erase Obama’s policy legacy, but experts, backed by loads of anecdotal evidence, say Trump’s unconventional and often divisive conduct has actually deepened the connection to Obama for liberals and independents. As the current president spent 2017 buffeted by scandals and igniting Twitter controversies, Obama seemed to increasing numbers a throwback to simpler political times, more deeply admired by those who find Trump ever more deeply objectionable.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning questioned whether he should “take away credentials?” for the “fake news” media who publish negative stories about his administration.

Donny lies about military pay raises
https://www.militarytimes.com/pay-be...s-for-a-decade
Cadet Bone Spurs lies yet again.
WASHINGTON — Speaking to a crowd of military spouses on Wednesday, President Donald Trump incorrectly claimed that his administration gave servicemembers their first pay raise in 10 years, a moment he was “proud” to oversee.
In fact, troops have seen a pay raise of at least 1 percent every year for more than 30 years. The 2018 military pay raise — which was 2.4 percent — was the largest for the armed forces in eight years.

Donny Jr. has a history of incorrectly suggesting Twitter is censoring or blocking tweets
He lies as much as his daddy. Red meat for wingnuts like Whell, who believe every lie.

The Danger of Imitating Trump
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...eryone/560114/
Quote:
Donald Trump’s genius has always been his ability to capitalize, literally, on his fame—to use his celebrity as a vehicle to enrich himself, even when he didn’t have the accomplishments or knowledge or business prowess (or the cash) to back up what he claimed.
Since his entry into politics, plenty of his hangers-on have attempted the same thing, hoping that Trump’s fame could prove their meal ticket, too. And while some of these figures have found success, several of them also find themselves in serious legal jeopardy, demonstrating once again that what works for Trump is often extremely dangerous for other people.
The glaring current example is Michael Cohen, the longtime Trump fixer. In the last few days, there’s been a surfeit of new information about Cohen’s manner of doing business, both before and after the election. Cohen is often said to have been closer to the president than anyone else, and to have the best understanding of how he thought, and he seems to have pursued the purest version of the Trumpian scheme: Make big promises, pull in big money, underdeliver big-league.

Epic fail. Kinda like Whell’s daily efforts here.

Giuliani resigns from his job at the Greenberg Traurig law firm over statements he's made recently. Looks like having Mr. Giuliani's name on the masthead isn't in the best interests of the firm?

It's kinda like the Keystone Cops meets the Gambino Crime Family.
