They knew. Exactly who, and when they knew it, and just how bad it’s going to get when other women come forward (protip about sexual misconduct allegations: there are almost always other women) is going to be what makes this blow up right in the GOP’s fucking face.
yeah, cooperation would almost certainly eliminate a joint defense agreement, per:
Yeah, CBS and everybody else are saying “full cooperation.” Also, as is the manner with the mob, plea bargains only aim upwards. I can’t imagine Manafort has anything else Mueller wants, or that Mueller would forego the biggest catch of his career.

I find that extraordinarily hard to believe, since there’s nothing else he’d have to offer. Since it’s one unnamed source, I think I’ll wait to see if other reporting matches it.

I’m not sure why it won’t show that whole post, but it’s rather informative of just how hard he’s going on the robber-baron thing.
Nixonland makes the very persuasive case that Richard Goatfucker Nixon almost singlehandedly (he was greatly aided by Ronald Goddamn Reagan) created the politics we have now, and as it is deliberately premised on dividing Americans against one another and nursing grievances, it’s going to be at least another…
Does Banksy know about this?

1) DO NOT assume any Dem will flip any district/state seat, ever, before the election results are in. Complacency is how we got into this dumpster fire.
I wonder how long it’ll be before the closet-racist aristocrats who attend these tournaments start breathing a sigh of relief that “finally” that woman has started slipping from the top slot. “She was so unprofessional” they’ll say. “I’m really looking forward to having tennis stars with some class again,” they’ll…
