This was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project's financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.) "It started off as a fairly general inquiry," says the former spook, who asks not to be identified. But when he dug into Trump, he notes, he came across troubling information indicating connections between Trump and the Russian government. According to his sources, he says, "there was an established exchange of information between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin of mutual benefit."

I think for some of us, Trump having anything above 10 percent is scary.

To get a sense of how perverted and distorted the smear politics of the Clintons has become, we're holding up the Clinton Foundation as an example of corruption and graft.
Yet by any impartial measure, their charity is one of the most effective in the world and they have fund raised billions to save millions of lives.
Yet here we are, holding this against them. What a special hell we've built for ourselves.

Trump having more than a zero percent chance is disgusting.

We had a trick or treater with a Trump mask this evening. My mom asked him where's Hillary and he said she's tired and sleeping.
Literally unelectable.

A.A. is a Muslim refugee from Somalia who came to the United States in 2012. Up until January, A.A., an 11-year-old, had been enrolled at the school as a sixth grader.
“I can’t wait until Trump is elected,” the teacher reportedly told the student. “He’s going to deport all you Muslims. Muslims shouldn’t be given visas. They’ll probably take away your visa and deport you. You’re going to be the next terrorist, I bet.”
The complaint further alleged that Myles’ harassment “was extensive,” going so far as to choke A.A. “until his eyes began to water from the pain.” The teacher also showed the class a video clip of the September 11, 2001 hijackers and suggested that A.A. was going to become a terrorist, saying “That’s going to be you.”

This is really sad. I would really hope that that teacher gets reprimanded...

I was at a Halloween party on Saturday and a guy had one of those inflatable T-Rex costumes on. Hilarious. He got lots of love. Everyone supports T-Rex just like everyone supports Trump!

So, in other words, the woman in the Melania costume was hot.

She is still on the school's roster. She should be sacked and her cert taken away from her.

The FBIs role in all this reminds me of an NHL ref. Back in September they did not want to call a penalty because it was late in the third period and they didn't want to influence the result. (this goes for both Hillary's emails and Russian hacks). But now even later in the game the ref have called a penalty and people are outraged. How can you do this now!?
Trump's on the the powerplay. Can he take advantage of it

NYT out with an article that is probably related to the near billion dollar loss in the tax return story earlier.
Basically it covers how Trump, instead of paying taxes on the debts that were forgiven to him over his failing casinos as he should (a dollar of forgiven debt is the same as a dollar of income), by trading "partnership equity" with a partner, basically making the forgiven debt go away.
Basically he's deducting someone else's losses. At the time it wasn't explicitly illegal but it also wasn't explicitly legal, but deducting someone else's loses is double dipping, obviously not something that should be allowed even if using some shell game to hide things. Even his tax lawyers said the IRS would probably cry foul.
The really funny part... Remember in the debate when Trump said that Clinton should have been doing something to stop people like him from using loopholes (or something like that)? Well this loophole was closed in 2004. Clinton was one of the senators who voted to close it.

Reprimanded? Fired? Cert taken away? If the above is true, why isn't this person in jail for strangling a child?
