I was working at a Fortune 20 company in 1998 and 1999. We were having offices redone and shared some temp space for a couple years with 30 Y2K “experts” that all worked for some made up company. They were booked through 2002 on their contract to fix everything before and anything after. By February 2000, their offices were vacated. But the owners were probably in Tahiti. They were charging $150 per hour for their team.

I only wish someone who could make the case better would be making it.

Deep State blood cults and three-fingered Vanderbilts? You've covered just about everyone with a pulse in your theories of who the Deep State is. Which makes it a nice sweeping narrative easily changed when the facts don't fit. When does Trump reveal that he's been working with Mueller to expose child trafficking rings? That's one of my favorites.

Free trade deals. Peace. Tech explosion. And Bill was smart to stay the F out of the way.

You gave me 12 years. Phew. I almost said Obama by the words he used. He made sweeping speeches. But they were always through gritted teeth and his actions and other words undercut him. Trump doesn’t even try. Obama would be a pompous ass to hang out with. Trump would be a narcissistic prick. Bush and Bill Clinton would be fun.

George Bush.

He cares to speak to his entrenched base, not the rest of the country. That is truly a shame because he has done a lot of good things. And I appreciate them. But I still loathe his “leadership.” The presidential wah-mbulance is a weak and lame look.

The Democrats remember. It's stupid paying back stupid so that stupid can pay it back again.

They shut down the Waggah ceremony at times like this. It’s strange even during simmering tensions.

Perfect and usual stupidity from Three of Six. No evidence that Cohen was Hillary's lawyer. Kennedy is not Chairman of the Clinton Foundation. But besides that, it does label Hillary and Cohen correctly as the humans in the picture. Unless they are lizard people.

So maybe robotic following of the party is a ... bad ... thing?

And for the country?

Only party robots need apply. That makes for great governance. How’s it working for the left?

Had to assume Weisselberg was next. What an embarrassment.

It's a solid airport, with a sense of humor about the tinfoil hat folks obsessed with it.

This is part of the devil worship aspect of the Deep State, right?

Maybe. I have no problem if bad actors get indicted. Agree 100%. He's been much better than expected, and I don't mean that in a tongue-in-cheek way that he's better than dog-*****. I've mentioned several times the things that I admire about what he's been able to do. Because I attack the conspiracists on here so regularly, I'm perceived as a TDS guy but I'm not. Trump has done an admirable job reigning China in (I was a skeptic that he could do this, but now believe he will succeed), getting us out of military conflict and de-escalating others, appointing reasonable judges/justices, de-toothing the worst of ACA, and others. This isn't the place to list the things I believe he's failing on but he's genuinely done a better job than I thought he could--and for my $$, the China deal may have the longest and best consequences of any single thing he's done. I'm not sure I'd go that far!

You like to paint with the same brush as the narrative builders. I don't care what he did in his company, particularly. But I recognize that he may get in trouble by a likely partisan SDNY investigative arm. Not to acknowledge the reality of that would be willful blindness. And I don't think there's any collusion. The "investigation" by the House is a waste of time and only divides us further. Mueller has rooted out very little and I doubt much comes of his report, unless there's a smoking gun no one has heard about. I sincerely don't believe Trump in any way colluded with Russia, or would. Try again brother. I'm happy to see bad government officials get fired. Who wouldn't be?

Exactly.

Four of Six cheering One of Six.You guys are so cute! We at the Deep State logged all past PPP posts on Hillary's servers. Half of my Deep State paycheck comes from researching old posts from PPP of course. We have been watching this site for decades. Because it's so incredibly important.

Maybe some campaign fraud stuff but nothing big for sure. The real catches would be if they can follow up on Cohen's lists of names and subpoena those people and documents. That's when it could start to get dicey. The misuse of the nonprofit status could create issues, as could the valuation problems. The SDNY could really create some huge issues for Trump. Those who think otherwise are naive about financial laws, and also about how loosely it appears the Trump organization operated with its checkbook and valuation. Whether that all leads to Trump, I can't say. But it could get real ugly for him and his family.

It sounded to me like the Ds were laying the groundwork to get a few more people before them, without Cohen's credibility issues. The campaign finance hush payments may have been the only "big" issue that he could support, and even those are not yuge. Trump is low moral fiber. So is his lawyer. None of that was news. Enjoyed the Bills shout-outs. Glad that he won the presidency and isn't the owner. We dodged a bullet there.

AOC was shockingly cogent and limited in her grandstanding. I'm floored.

It's not entered as testimony under oath. Just for the record like the articles. It's a way of entering a statement without it being subject to questioning.

The Conspiracy Borg giving me crap isn't making me lose sleep, Two of Six. I thought I was a paid deep state actor, One of Six.
