Ex-Fox News Anchor Juliet Huddy Says Trump Kissed Her On Lips After A Lunch
Oh wait, past the headline:
"He went to say goodbye and he, rather than kiss me on the cheek, he leaned in on the lips."
Huddy, whom Trump knew because she co-hosted "Fox & Friends" on the weekends, said she assumed Trump's lip kiss was just confusion: "Oh, we went the wrong way," she said.
Huddy said she was surprised he went for her lips but "didn't feel threatened." In fact, she brought a friend back to Trump Tower so that the future president could give them a tour of "The Apprentice" set.
Huddy believes Trump was single at the time, and, after checking the math, host Bill Schulz said it was possible he wasn't engaged to Melania Trump at the time of the kiss.
So a total molehill that HuffPo is trying to make into a mountain

Story looks like nothing special, since this is a movie James Cameron's been working on for a decade at least.
Robert Rodriguez can direct action, so should be good if not particularly original.

If the media/MSM weren't in the Democras' back pocket,
and if they were a functioning, investigatorial, non-ideologically aligned body,
the Democrats would simply never win another election,
or they would be a very different national party hewing more to the middle, closer to reality, and far, far less anti-American and anti-Western values.
And they would be of actual value to the nation, instead of a horrible stable of perverts and liars.
Bu-u-u-ut, that's just silly talk.

It's a little tighter than that. Planned Parenthood hired Fusion GPS to review the videos to determine their authenticity. Fusion in turn claims they hired a video expert to do the actual work. And then with remarkable speed, the story that they were faked was spread throughout the media. Unexpectedly.
Why would you hire Fusion GPS to review videos if the had no expertise to actually do a forensic review? Pretty obvious why.
I hope we get to see Fusion's bank records so we can see all of their customers and all of their clients. I'm sure it will clear up a lot of things.

WHO IS NOT A DEEP STATE OPERATIVE?
Donald Trump, of course.
I'm guessing Admiral Michael Rogers, head of NSA.
Sessions
Mulvaney
Mike Pompeo
Mattis, maybe.
Nikki Haley
Rex Tillerson, maybe
General Kelly
After this list I have to think long and hard of anyone else Trump could Trust.
Willowed comment from yesterday:
Adm. Rogers had a one on one early on with Trump. He made sure the keys to the country were handed over to the constitutionally chosen leader. Trump got the minimum of info about what the swamp was up to and how they did it (FISA Warrants, GPS Fusion Documents).
The Resistance, (Obama, CLinton, Jarrett, Holder, Rice, Powers, Clapper, Brennan, Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Yates, Weissmann, Strzok, McMaster, McCain, GPS Fusion, etc.) were abusing national security well before Trump was elected.
They were all dirty, and this was their only play. All or nothing, Trump had to go.
And of course Mueller had to stack his investigation with Resistance collaborators. Anybody with a smidgen of independence would be a risk on blowing a whistle on the whole shebang.
Rogers showed the deck that was stacked against Trump to Trump. And Trump shuffle up his own deck. He has kept his actions, though controversial, scrupulous.
He hasn't fallen for their traps that would make impeachment more likely and he has made the legal side of things snap down on the other side.
He also didn't go out after Clinton or others before the Hog Trap was set up. They will all hang together in their conspiracies.
When Nunes went to Trump with the dirt he found, Trump told him "hmmmmmmm, interesting. Thanks. Make sure that you do everything as clean as possible"
That showed Nunes that Trump was already on top of things, and that's why Nunes submitted to the bogus ethics investigation without resisting much.
Nunes is back in the game, so now Trump has a new front opened back up against The Resistance. Nunes, like Patton before D-Day, has been cooling heels thinking about how to move forward when given a chance.
Another front will be the IG report. It will be a bombshell.
The other front is the congressional oversight committees. You might say that they are toothless, but The Resistance will be more apprehensive about the hearings than they were when Lynch and Holder refused to uphold the law.
The Mueller investigation is a quagmire for the Resistance. Their only exit strategy was to find dirt on Trump to impeach in order to protect themselves. Not happening.
They were hogs going after corn and didn't notice the fence being put up around them.

THAT is why Trump should not shut down the Mueller investigation.
Trump is getting things done. And the investigation is hurting Democrats. The longer it goes on, the more it is hurting Democrats.

Their sources came from inside the government, either the IC or someone on the House Intel Committee. My guess would be the IC.
One thing that really needs to be kept in mind is that there are nearly 30 active leak investigations going on right now, maybe more. One common tactic used to ferret out leakers is to purposely give fake information to suspected leakers and see what they do with it.
If you remember back at the beginning of Trump's administration when leaks were crippling his team's ability to operate, Trump ran a sting to uncover leakers. He got a briefing from the IC but didn't tell anyone on his staff, not even his longtime personal assistant, and then he waited to see what happened.
When the information about the meeting leaked, he knew that the leaks were coming from the IC.
There's a lot more going on behind the scenes than we have seen so far with various investigations.

You're right in that his responses could be a part of Trump and Sessions keeping their cards close to their vest.
But I believe an indicator is the relative ease and alacrity (following the controversial Comey firing) with which his appointment to his post occurred.
If he were aboard the Swamp Draining/MAGA agenda there would have been a greater resistance to his appointment. The only appointment easier than his was Rosenstein's.

Cardinals had him wrapped up a couple days ago. Stanton said no.
Fine, go to New York. Let the Yankees get him as he's heading in to the down side of his career. In the era of the luxury tax, you CANNOT throw all the money you want at over the hill sluggers. Stanton has been injury prone his whole career, and he's a one dimensional player anyway.
As a Cardinals fan, I breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't get him. Stanton may not be as big a bust as Pujols was/is for the Angels, but it's funny to be a baseball fan when you WANT your team to sign all the big name stars, and then you watch how teams actually win Pennants and World Series.

So... patients and staff are routinely ignored or intimidated, and the solution to this? Create yet another bureaucratic layer for the process to go through (although they seems like nice people).
But they're all part of the same crappy system, and that system can coerce and corrupt them as well if it needs to, no matter how sympathetic they may seem over the phone.
What about bringing lawsuits against hospitals or doctors or the NHS? Is that even allowed in the UK? What about having laws protecting whistleblowers? What about offering patients vouchers so that they can get private treatment?

So... patients and staff are routinely ignored or intimidated, and the solution to this? Create yet another bureaucratic layer for the process to go through (although they seems like nice people).
But they're all part of the same crappy system, and that system can coerce and corrupt them as well if it needs to, no matter how sympathetic they may seem over the phone.
What about bringing lawsuits against hospitals or doctors or the NHS? Is that even allowed in the UK? What about having laws protecting whistleblowers? What about offering patients vouchers so that they can get private treatment?

Our family has had to be medevaced to London several times over our overseas careers for emergency treatment, and every single procedure had to be redone in the States. Their protocols are based on lowest cost, rather than most effective. I think their nursing care was quite good, and the nurses actually spent time with patients getting to know them, and trying to alleviate pain as much as possible. That's something our hospitals could take note of. They also give you gas to knock you out before starting IV's, which is a nice touch. But probably not as safe-I'm sure medical types in the Horde can weigh in on this.

Well thanks. I've become addicted to this thing, it's like watching the biggest spy thriller ever unfold right before our eyes.
I honestly can't figure Mueller out at this point. I get that he has a pretty swampy background but the way he is running this investigation is downright odd.
We can all see the obvious bias he has injected into this investigation with the people he has hired. Why would he do that? He's not an idiot, he had to know this would set off all sorts of alarms.
And he knew exactly who Strzok was and what he had done long before he hired him. I'm not a lawyer but it would seem by injecting Strzok into the Flynn case he has given Flynn's lawyers a real opportunity to call for his case to be thrown out because of undisclosed prosecutor bias.
And then why would he turn around and replace Strzok with a guy who is at least as biased if not more? It just doesn't make any sense unless he is trying to run a bad investigation.

If they wanted to be tough on conservatives, there's PLENTY of legit issues to do it with.
But the MFM doesn't have the work ethic to actually do the legwork to legitimately expose scandals. It's so much easier to just cut/paste a note from FusionGPS and send to the printer so they can go back to snarking like junior high school girls on Twitter.

I think he sees this as his only play to defend himself against Uranium One. His dirt goes back a ways.
I believe Obama made everyone around him as dirty as he was, so they would all be on the same dirty team, Mafioso style. He was successful to varying degrees.
If you look back at what you believed possible four years ago you would think the stuff you know now to be crazy talk. The person from eight years ago would want you institutionalized.

You guys can start hating the Yankees again....
Posted by: JoeF. at December 09, 2017 12:47 PM (7uYFy)
I'm indifferent to the Yankees, because they're in the American League, where they don't play real baseball anyway.
But seriously, adding big bats to one's lineup is never a bad thing, but there is a law of diminishing returns in baseball. You already have the best young right handed hitter in the lineup already... and yes, Judge is significantly better than Stanton. So adding another has less impact on this team than it would several others.
Baseball is about balance. Table setters, who get on base, defensive players who have at LEAST as much value as hitters. You have two right fielders now. Something has to give. If you take one of the other outfielders out of that lineup, you will get worse defense (Stanton is not a plus defensive player). Put him in the DH role, and well, again, you're replacing a good bat with a better bat, and that doesn't help your team as much as fans tend to think it will.

I think to a degree, we all thought this kind of stuff was happening and pretty much everyone got onboard with how the Obama DOJ exonerated Hillary. That was clearly political and corrupt at the highest levels of government.
I shudder to even think this but there is another possibility, Mueller is cooperating with Trump and team in an effort to out all of the leakers and out of control operatives in the DOJ and beyond. The way he is featuring his team members it almost makes it easy to identify their corruption and severely damage if not cripple any charges they have brought against others.

That's more an admonition to Christians not to take personal vengeance. It's not a guarantee that temporally, there will be a punishment meted out that will correspond to the offense of the perp. The NT rejects that notion - bing "Tower of Siloam".

It's the Chicago way. Only the underlings should have researched that model a bit more thoroughly. The underlings seldom get busted and under a Hillary or Jeb administration with no push back it's all upside. But seldom is not never. Sometimes the winds change and some justice arrives and some underlings get burned. But the kingpin --Daley or Obama for example--the dirt NEVER ties into them directly.

IF the NFL started benching players that kneeled, and, as a result, those teams lost, would fans come back?
Conversely, is winning the only reason people watch the game?
In other words, would you stop watching if it was kneeler teams vs. non- kneeler teams, and the kneeler teams were all second stringers?

I used to fish next to his house. It's in the very tony town of Cohasset, MA, on a feature called the Gulf, which is a short tidal river leading back and forth to a salt pond.
At the time he was running a "non-profit" and taking in a salary of something like $600K. His brother Joe was the sitting Congressman.
It took about 48 seconds from the news breaking that the late Michael Kennedy had been pulling down that kind of green for his brother to realize that his true calling was to run Citizen's Energy.

I will never be a famous athlete or movie star or musician, but if I was I would at least have the good sense to know I'm not famous for my brains. And then would keep my mouth shut, except when the people who are paid to think for me tell me what to say, and when.

something like $600K. His brother Joe was the sitting Congressman.
It took about 48 seconds from the news breaking that the late Michael
Kennedy had been pulling down that kind of green for his brother to
realize that his true calling was to run Citizen's Energy.
About all Joe did for that 600 grand was to make commercials featuring Joe standing on the bow of a tanker entering Boston Harbor like Leonardo Dicaprio carrying free oil from "our friends in Venezuela", and then lugging a hose from an oil truck to some old lady's house while she stood at the window and waved to him. His buddy Hugo Chavez probably figured it was worth it just to embarrass W, and Joe was a willing tool for that.
Then once Obama was elected, poor people went away, Hugo cut him off, then croaked and Citizens Energy pretty much became irrelevant. But Joe's still there and I'm willing to bet he's still pulling 6 figures to do very little.

I like football. A lot. I don't care much for kollege, because there's too much disparity in the quality of players available. Even on the best teams, you have great players, destined for the NFL, and guys who will be selling insurance in a few months.
I want a pro football game, where excellence is rewarded on the field, in the form of wins and losses, the players do their jobs, get paid a decent wage, don't have to worry TOO much about being killed on the field, and competition drives the market.
You know, like the NFL used to be.

I still cannot for the life of me understand why the football training academy is still provided by colleges. I mean, come on. These are not students. The few of them who ARE students could just as easily do what many other people do... work and go to school. And the ones who can't spell their own names, this sham of making them keep up a grade point average is demeaning to them, and a joke on the concept of higher learning.
As with many other things though, it lines the pockets of the people who aren't going to allow something like a real market evolve naturally.

Sure, they're young people, but two young women (one a relative, one a daughter of an old friend), in the past year, out of the blue, expressed "fear" and the like about "Russia". These youngsters aren't dumb, per se, but could probably barely place Russia on the map. WTFF???
Just another data point on how disastrously misinformed, dumbed down, and bereft of thinking skills today's America has become (not just the young).
And let's not forget the jaw-dropping performance of GOP types in Congress. Showing what appeared to be genuine anger and concern about "Russian interference" in US elections? WTFF, again? Chance Russia or any other sovereign power could materially affect our elections: 0. And these are "politicians", who should at least know something about their trade.
