here's how I imagine the strategy meeting went:
PR1: "SHIT THE ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT WE GOTTA DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!"
PR2: "LET'S THROW SOME ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME CHUM INTO THE WATERS OF THE LEFT SO THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THE RUSSIAN MOB INFILTRATION OF OUR GOV'T!"
Buh Lou what are you taaallking about?
The Hill lets people who are REGISTERED (and unregistered) FOREIGN AGENTS PUBLISH PROPAGANDA IN THEIR OUTLET. Do you think they have any ethical standards? That'd be a big fat NO.
PS. google "the hill" + "Wilbur Ross"
ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT.
"Better late than never" says a friend.
Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign? newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
The New York Times:
Published a Putin Op-Ed on Syria in 2013.
Failed the nation in 2016.
Headlines matter. @nytimes: SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.
Bauman is an advocate for offshoring money to avoid taxes.
SO WE ARE CLEAR:
Tax avoidance is why our infrastructure is crumbling. Tax avoidance is a form of greed. Tax avoidance is unpatriotic. Tax avoidance is what's gonna get alllllllll the bad guys. #FATCAgonnagetcha
Bauman's wife Carol Dawson (their marriage was annulled in 1983), and he were deeply involved with Young Americans for Freedom, aka YAF, and the American Conservatives Union, aka ACU. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
Brett Kavanaugh 2015 financial disclosure report contains the following:
"Trip to Arizona Cardinals-Detroit Lions football game in Detroit with group of friends from Georgetown Prep high school class of 1983, hosted by high school classmate Michael Bidwilll, President of...
...Arizona Cardinals. October 10-11, 2015. Paid $500 to reimburse for flights and game ticket."
The game was at 4:05PM on October 11th. Ended 7:20PM.
No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.
Let's go through the Dutch Ministry of Defense's presentation on the indictment of GRU officers today. Purple = my imaginary commentary of the officers who put this presentation together. (AND REMEMBER: I'm A HOUSEWIFE not a SPY)
