Kilmer17 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Dems are doing the same sort of thing the GOP did just with less success. IE, they are delaying every appointment with any procedural maneuver they have. The difference is that the GOP had the majority and could simply halt any appointment they wanted to. If the Dems take the Senate, we will see them act exactly like the GOP did under Obama. And the two sides will just exchange the scripts they use on TV to either feign outrage or attempt to justify those actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Except that a lot of the holdups have been due to concern from Republicans, lack of candidates, issues popping up due to lack of vetting/just not caring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall a while back, saw Kevin Spacey on Daily Show, being interviewed about the time he was invited to shadow several members of Congress, to get ready for his role in House of Cards. And Stewart asked him whether all these people actually believed the drivel they spew, or was it all an act? "Oh, it's performance art. And most of them are really bad actors."

Dan T. Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Oh, this is so SO juicy. Stormy Daniels' Attorney Michael Avenetti hinted yesterday that the $1.6 million payout to a Playboy bunny arranged by Trump attorney Michael Cohen to keep quiet about an affair and an abortion may NOT have been for RNC Finance chairman Elliot Broidy, as widely reported in the press. He's hinting that Broidy may have been a fall guy for a much bigger target. "So, Mika, you are familiar with the fact that a week ago, Judge (Kimba) Wood ordered Michael Cohen’s attorneys to disclose all of his clients for the last three years,” Avenatti said, “and there were three clients listed — three clients listed. Do you recall which three?” Brzezinski listed Trump, Fox News host Sean Hannity and Republican donor Elliott Broidy — but Avenatti said she was making the same mistake everyone else had. “No, no, no,” he said. “Mr. Trump, the Trump organization and Sean Hannity. Mr. Broidy was not disclosed in open court as one of Michael Cohen’s clients.” Then Joe Scarborough asked what that meant. “I think at some point we are going to find out, if in fact, the client in connection with the ($1.6 million) settlement was, in fact, Mr. Broidy. I’m going to leave it at that.” Given Cohen's assertion in open court about who his clients were, that leaves only Sean Hannity or Donald Trump as likely clients if it wasn't Broidy. https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/attorney-michael-avenatti-hints-1-6-million-abortion-payout-trump-not-gop-donor/ Interesting (and a clue?!?) is that the $1.6 million NDA Cohen set up used the same pseudonyms - David Dennison and Peggy Peterson - as the NDA Cohen set up for Trump and Stormy Daniels, according to the WSJ at the time. https://www.thewrap.com/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-nda-playboy-pregnant-elliott-broidy-republican-fundraiser/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Oh ****, I didn't realize what he was saying meant that. And that settlement with supposed Broidy did use the same pseudonyms as the Stormy Daniels agreement. Wow, that's yuge!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just breezed right by that potential bombshell without following up on it, mainly because the guy on the right brought up Trump's appearance and foot-in-mouth statements on Fox & Friends.
