Potentially, this could be interesting. I wonder what this investigation might unearth?

 

Mueller Subpoenas Trump Deutsche Bank Records

 

 

#LAWeekly fired their staff in favor of unpaid “contributors.” If you are an aspiring writer, and you submit to them, you are insuring it becomes impossible to make a living in this field. pic.twitter.com/y4Cuanjye8

RIP LA Weekly. This sucks and every newspaper in the country should take notice of what happened here https://t.co/FC0SlvfyP7

LA WEEKLY provided a passionate view of the city I love for as long as I can remember. Personally, the only cover story about myself that's ever brought me to tears was written by @AWolfeful for the publication. It's a beautiful voice. Let's keep it alive. https://t.co/N7tfbClEGa

I have decided to leave the LA Weekly. It was a great experience and I was lucky to work with such talented and dedicated people. Thanks for reading the column.

Maybe it's nothing sinister, but the @LAWeekly, a top paper in America's 2nd largest city, was acquired by unknown buyers who axed almost all of its left-leaning, anti-Trump editorial team & installed a pro-Putin libertarian EIC from the district of pro-Putin Dana Rohrabacher. https://t.co/Cbk8pQCUlk

And, as mentioned upthread:

 

 

BREAKING: Deutsche Bank receives subpoena from Mueller on Trump accounts

This is huge for 2 reasons:

- Deutsch Bank paid DOJ settlement for involvement in $10b Russian money laundering scheme

- Kushner took $285m loan from them right before election.

So much for the brilliant "peace in the middle east" strategy. These folks want to extend middle east chaos and fuel terrorism. This is the opposite of national security and protecting the US.

 

 

BREAKING: Palestinian official news agency WAFA: Trump told President Abbas on phone call he is going to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. Israeli and Pal officials so far silent.

I suspect this will have wide-ranging consequences in global politics.

Yippee.  Just what the free world needed: another long-ass article that seeks to plumb the depths of Bubbles' tortured soul.

 

I am way past giving a [!@#$%^&*] about this man.

A little Olympics ban humor.

How long before Trump attacks the Olympics?

So apparently the entire Arab community including Saudi Arabia and Iran together issued a joint statement opposing the movement of the US Embassy to Jerusalem

 

President Abbas  has reached out to Pope Francis and Vladimir Putin to intervene

 

So much for the generals who are supposed to be protecting us. This move makes every American here and overseas a target for terrorism. And this idiot is supposed to concerned about National Security?

 

I know there are so many horrible things going on here, but this act makes me incredibly frightened for the future of the world

It's such an unnecessary thing to do as well. Jerusalem's status is such a controversial issue, and to do something like this is just like throwing petrol on a fire.

I'm not surprised. They will allow individual Russian athletes to compete under neutral flag though, if they can prove that they're clean.

 

As crazy as it sounds I swear I believe the far right Christians are trying to bring on Armageddon.  There was a Vice episode on just this thing. They are seriously trying to start the final war and bring Jesus back. This thread explains it.

I've thought that for a long time now. There's a great deal of smugness and self-satisfaction in many who go on and on about this - because they "know" that they will be saved and go to Heaven, because they are good people, while everyone else is damned. 

I've been reading about the worsening crisis in Yemen, on and off for months and just a few days ago about their former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed by the Houthi (said to be backed by Iran) rebels that he once collaborated with. Apparently the rebels believed he was working with the Saudis against them.

Yemen has been the staging ground of the enmity between Iran and Saudi Arabia yet Trump Inc. is now creating such a mess in the Middle East that it is having the unexpected effect of united the Saudis and the Iranians together against the U.S.  Whoa!

I am just blown away by the insanity. If God exists do these people really believe they can force his hand? Clearly they do, which is the height of arrogance. I almost wish he existed so he could smite these fools.
