I would just like to reiterate the tremendous amount of faith I have in this easily-digestible process.

He writes in sharpie and in block letters? Why did I even think that he would not?

I think he needs glasses but is too vain to get them. Thus his notes have to be giant.

It also explains needing pictures in his briefings.

Moove?

Nunes is suing a parody twitter account called Devin Nunes' Cow.

Well, if he’s not going to testify, I suppose that’s the third-best thing, the second-best of which would be a lengthy series of op-eds.

[PredsFan77]

Unfortunate this got leaked.

A confidential White House review of President Trump’s decision to place a hold on military aid to Ukraine has turned up hundreds of documents that reveal extensive efforts to generate an after-the-fact justification for the decision and a debate over whether the delay was legal, according to three people familiar with the records.

Ousted Navy secretary made secret deal with Trump...

Pentagon chief 'flabbergasted'...

Esper said Spencer had gone behind his back last week to propose a secret deal with the White House in which Spencer would fix the outcome of the Gallagher review. Esper said this was a violation of the military chain of command and said Spencer acknowledged his misstep.

I’d be careful cheering him until he clarifies what his priorities are.

He wanted to preemptively nuke Iran, North Korea, China and Russia, but they wouldn’t let him. Also, Trump was peddling foreign policy positions for personal gain.

[shredz]

Who is cheering on John Bolton lol? He's a decrepit neocon who just happens to have some dirt on the Ukraine dealings. Their bond over the MEK tells me he probably won't even speak up unless he is faced with charges. And he uses his own name in a hashtag.

Giuliani was in talks to be paid by Ukraine's top prosecutor as they together sought damaging information on Democrats

President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, negotiated earlier this year to represent Ukraine's top prosecutor for at least $200,000 during the same months that Giuliani was working with the prosecutor to dig up dirt on Vice President Joe Biden, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The people said that Giuliani began negotiations with Ukraine's top prosecutor, Yuri Lutsenko, about a possible agreement in February. In the agreement, Giuliani's company would receive payment to represent Lutsenko as the Ukrainian sought to recover assets he believed had been stolen from the government in Kyiv, those familiar with the discussions said.

If they had student visas, why would ICE care about them?

[clawfirst]

That cant be real

[shredz]

If they had student visas, why would ICE care about them?

Apparently to weed out "visa fraud" but its more like entrapment.

The University of Farmington, which ICE agents opened in 2015 to weed out fraudsters, did not qualify because it wasn’t a real educational institution: Although ICE advertised the university as offering graduate STEM courses, it did not have any teachers, curriculum, classes, or other educational activities. Its primary selling point, prosecutors say, is a ticket to an F-1 student visa — at the cost of $2,500 per quarter for graduate programs, plus an average $1,000 per month in fees, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Students on F-1 visas can remain in the US legally while they complete their studies and travel freely outside the country. After graduation, those students are eligible to apply for H-1B skilled worker visas if an American employer offers them a job in certain fields.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics ... ment-sting

Carissa Cutrell, an ICE spokesperson, said in a statement Wednesday that the fake universities serve as a deterrent to immigrants who might exploit the student visa system, as well as provide insight into how fraud happens.

“It provides DHS with first-hand evidence of fraud and enhances its understanding of the way in which exploitation networks develop to facilitate fraud,” she said. “This, in turn, informs and improves DHS’s efforts to uncover fraud at schools where the students, and potentially school officials, seek to perpetuate violations either explicitly or through more subtle manipulation of the regulations.”

There’s little evidence, however, that fake universities have substantively aided ICE’s ability to detect fraud, especially given that the 600 students implicated in the University of Farmington scheme represent only a sliver of the more than 300,000 students issued visas annually in recent years.

and of course:

It’s also not immediately clear how ICE has been using what could amount to millions of dollars in tuition and fees that students paid to the university.

[Dog]

Oh, the students knew it was a ‘fake’ university -ie. that they were just paying for a visa. Presumably, I mean the place had no teachers.

The "America Issue" is that they celebrate Thanksgiving way too late in the year.

Looking at the average American, it seems they celebrate Thanksgiving daily.

Goddamn, Trump content is fucking dumb 99% of the time.

Technically they're right, it's not doctored. It's just 'shopped.

One neat thing about American law enforcement agencies is that they often get to keep proceeds of crime for their budgets or use. Michigan for example had a bunch of range rovers with one agency (which caused issues when Michigan roads resulted in constantly breaking windows.)
