Good lord this is a man for the Trump era. A militia leader who tried to extort his own militia! talkingpointsmemo.com/news/james-rus… via @TPM
Basically this guy ran a militia and then also posed as a Mexican drug cartel to extort money from the dorks who joined his militia.
The most shocking part of the story is you read to the end and apparently Jacob Wohl isn’t involved in this at all.

Best story ever. Guy creates Pacific Northwest militia made of rubes who he’s convinced isis and Mexican drug cartels were preying on their community. He then makes up/impersonates a Mexican drug lord (“Alessio Don De Grande”)to extort money from members of his own militia.

Just watching Peter Baker on MSNBC gaming out the horse race aspects of Trump trying cudgel Ukraine into sliming Trumps opponent. This is a disgrace, criminal abuse of office by Trump and Rudes and a catastrophic press failure in the making. Trump has already gutted all of them.
2 / MSNBC host now asking if Trump/Rudes criminal behavior is “slippery slope”. Trump campaign apox saying it’s only right.
3/ All the bigs are shaming themselves. Note this is by design the open invitation to every other country and strongman and oligarch to peddle misinformation for Trump. They are all criminals to the core.

This is worth unpacking. The US President is sending his personal representative to Ukraine to demand investigations into his domestic political foes. These are long discredited claims ginned up by the President himself. Ukraine is hugely dependent on the US for ...
2/ diplomatic, economic and mil support. The President is using that leverage to insist the new government intervene in the 2020 election and later coordinate with the President’s corrupt attorney general.
3/ The new government is really in no position to refuse the US.

1/ What is with this constant infantilization of adult sons on the right? Is it because a generation of Boomer patriarchs can't give up their identity/role? talkingpointsmemo.com/news/harris-ti… via @TPM
2/ Harris -- who's admittedly spinning like mad -- says he disregarded his son's advice about corrupt vote gathering because he was ONLY 27. We hear about how adult men in their 30's are "just kids", including Donald Jr.
3/ Is this a generational breakdown or a cultural (southern) or religious (patriarchal Evangelical) or just ... Jesus, we're just limping into the future aren't we.
the only questions is are limping under a load or because we were gut shot decades ago and can't accept it.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
