Just the way you like it, Trump, like Melania gives it to you.

Trump, as an impotent cuckold your "fondness for generals" is SOOO understandable. But why military boys?
un has a fondness for military girls.
un's military girls come equipped with detachable sword. Do you see that, Trump? Do any thoughts come to mind when you see that, Trump? No? Very well, go hang out with your boys.

With ‘fire and fury,’ Trump revives fears about his possession of nuclear codes

Republicucks, you fear your Cuckold-in-Chief having the nuclear codes? NO WAY! "The American people got what they voted for, they elected him."

Threats of "Fire and Fury"
Who talks like that except IS and DPRK dorks?
Yeah, you're right, De Facto. Same reason: they're all psychopaths.
“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He (Fade Boy un) has been very threatening beyond a normal state, and as I said, they will be met with fire and fury, and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.”

Trump cannot control himself, yes, we knew that. It must be extremely frustrating to be a fat, old, impotent, small-fingered, small-dicked, cuckold. Incredibly frustrating. So when you are all of those things what do you do: get some really big boom-booms to make up for your small shriveled pee-pee and go around talking like Muhammad in the Koran.
But lack of control, lack of discipline, short attention span, enfeebled mind, memory loss in dotage, those are the beauty parts to this interesting eunuch. This is the MO-RON who said he was so shrewd, so much smarter than the Black man who was the last president of the United States, that he would NEVER tell his enemies what he was going to do, which, in fairness to him, we all knew was his way of saying, "I haven't the fucking foggiest clue what to do," but it's like the mother-fucker forgot OR gets so pissed that he just goes...nuclear.
20,000,000? Is that what it is? 40 mil? In those eight-figure ballparks is the number of South Korean dead that would result from "fire and fury" the likes of which have never been seen before in the history of sports, probably the history of entertainment.
Look, I, Benjamin Harris, don't know what to do about the DPRK. I have cogitated upon it and written about it, and I am a helluva lot smarter than that jackanapes. AND, there are yet smarter folk than moi who see no way out. There is NO good solution, it may be that things have gotten to a head, and, well, sorry Gangnam Stylists, we're just gonna have to obliterate un and his racist dwarfs and 20,000,000 or so of yinz too. And if so, then you decide. Contemplatively, soberly, quietly, swallowing hard, you decide. And then do it. NUKES AWAY! But you don't speak like a floridly psychotic homicidal maniac to other floridly psychotic homicidal maniacs. Just encourages 'em.
Trump is mentally ill and he has the big stick of the nuclear codes to make up for his little stick. LOVELY! Ah, America 2.0: a government as good as its people. "People got what they voted for, they elected him."

Doubt
The season never ends in world soccer. The top clubs are all over the world in the summer. Manchester City have played in the States and in Iceland. The EPL season starts next Saturday.
In both soccer and in the NBA the summer mostly is time to stock up for the long grind of fall then winter then spring and to the cusp of summer again. And I am having doubts.
This was the summer, between Pep Guardiola's first and second regular seasons, when City were to be remade in His image. Director of football Txiki Begiristain, like Pep a former Barcelonan, is tasked with doing that as he has been since 2012.
I have had doubts about Begiristain before. He has some big misses on players who he brought in. His predecessor, Gary Cook, did not have many misses. And Begiristain has missed on players he targeted but who signed elsewhere. This summer Dani Alves signed with PSG and Alexis Sanchez, I am increasingly confident, will stay at Arsenal. Gary Cook almost always got his "whale" and misjudged very few of those he boated. This summer an idiot blogger need not rest his doubts solely on his own idiotic judgment, he can rest on Pep's: "I think we need someone else, something else, a little bit more."
If one stood on the cliffs of Lizard Point, Cornwall, England and looked southwest, down the North Atlantic, past the whaling region, if one's eyes were good enough to see across 6,838 miles of ocean, one would see, improbably rising like Xanadu out of the Atlantic, Miami, Florida, USA, home, for our purposes, of the NBA team known as the "Heat."
Lording over the fortunes of the "Heat" is, as he has for twenty years, Pat Riley. It has been a quiet summer on Biscayne Bay. The NBA off-season has been hot, hot, hot but they are the sounds of silence one hears from Pat Riley who stands nearly mute this summer. Riley failed to land mini-whale Gordon Hayward, did get a modest catch in Kelly Olynyk, and is not going to board legitimate whale Kyrie Irving. Most notably Riley decided to fashion the franchise for the near future from the flotsam and jetsam (we are switching metaphors) he found floating around in past restocking periods: Hassan Whiteside, James Johnson, Dion Waiters, Wayne Ellington, Tyler Johnson, et al. Miraculously Riley and Andy Elisburg and Erik Spoelstra took this driftwood and, over the second half of last season, made of their leaking, listing, going-in-circles vessel something of a yacht.
Do they see where others do not? Or are they blind? Is Riley too old? Does the fire not burn as hotly as it once did? Or has the red-hot steel cooled into sharper-edged judgment? I unsay nothing that I have said about this summer of silence in Miami: they were at a significant disadvantage in the pursuit of Hayward (and still Riley almost convinced him); they had no reasonable shot at Kevin Durant last summer; they should pull in their lines whenever they spot Irving out there, they do have something special in the 7/11 and Johnson & Johnson combos, they are Team Happy, lit by the million-watt smile of their man-child #youngwhiteside.
But...I read my betters, Greg Cote and Ira Winderman, ESPN and Sports Illustrated. Riley has not pounced as he once did, boldly trading Glen Rice for Alonzo Mourning, Lamar Odom and Caron Butler for Shaquille O'Neal, draft picks for LeBron James, the biggest of whales, Zo and Shaq and LeBron, who delivered Riley three gold championship rings.
I wonder if Riley, at 72, has Malibu on his mind more than Miami. I don't think so but I don't know so. I wonder less that Txiki Begiristain has Barca on the brain for I am certain of it. Doubts will be erased in Miami and in Manchester this season. This is a make-or-break year for the Miami "Happiness" and for Pat Riley's reputation, and in Manchester for Txiki Begiristain.

"Despacito"
For the record as we legal scholars are fond of saying, "Despacito" (Slowly), a song by Puerto Ricans Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee is the most-watched YouTube video of all-time. Over 3 billion views including one by this Yankee Daddy. The vid topped "See You Again" which the aforementioned didn't see the first time and "Gangnam Style," which despicable me did see, and profiled in these here pages too.
I got "Gangnam Style," thought it was well-danced, fun, adorable and hilarious. "Despacito's" video is unremarkable to my 20/400 eyes and the music the same to my ears. I could not have picked "Despacito" out of an audio lineup if the other choices were by Beethoven...Well, four of the five. Throw in one other Latin pop song that I hear (against my will) daily--any one--and I wouldn't have been able to distinguish.
Enjoy, or whatever.

Q. How does Russian influence online work?
There are three types of accounts promoting Russian influence online:
Attributed accounts that clearly state they are pro-Russian or affiliated with the Russian government.
Accounts (including both bots and humans) that are run by troll factories in Russia and elsewhere.
Accounts run by people around the world who amplify pro-Russian themes either knowingly or unknowingly, after being influenced by the efforts described above.

Top websites tweeted by a monitored set of accounts related to Russian influence campaigns on Twitter, excluding Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and common link-shorteners. We do not provide a direct link as some sites may contain malware.
thegatewaypundit.com is one of the Russian sites. I thought that was legit. Can remember reading it.

Today, we face foreign interference of a type Hamilton could scarcely have imagined, a world in which global powers use instantaneous media networks and a mix of overt and covert programming to reach into our homes and workplaces and shape our view of the world.

ESPN predicts the Miami Heat will finish seventh in the East
7th? You head is as beeg as yu eyeball.
ESPN’s Kevin Pelton ran the numbers, and projected 42.3 wins for the Heat. They’d finish behind the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets (a surprise at no. 5) and Toronto Raptors.
Oh yeah? That's what ESPN's Kevin Pelton got when he "ran the numbers." When I run the numbers ESPN comes up as Entirely Speculative Pointless Nonsense.
It doesn’t seem as though Kyrie Irving is all that close to leaving the Cavs but at least now it seems we know what the Suns are prepared to give up...
Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN in Minnesota:
“...Now, they won’t offer Josh Jackson plus that Miami 2018 first and Eric Bledsoe. I’m told they’ll do Bledsoe. They’ll do the pick. Plus, Dragan Bender.”
Bledsoe isn’t on Kyrie’s level...
Ha-ha
...and has missed 67 games over the past two seasons with knee trouble.
Sounds perfect!
When he’s on the court, though, he’s proven to be one of the better point guards in the NBA. Bledsoe averaged 21.1 points and 6.3 assists in 66 games last season before a reoccurrence of knee soreness forced him to the bench down the stretch...
Bender, 19, was the No. 4 pick in 2016 and played only sparingly as a rookie
Ha-Ha!
...but at 7'1" has people intrigued by his potential.
[This] would make this...a future-oriented deal for the Cavs. It would certainly hurt their title chances in 2018...
HA!
...but it would be tough to find a trade for Irving that wouldn’t.
[Bed Bugs] doesn’t have a no-trade clause so the Cavs can move him for whatever package they value most.
Hurts least, more like it!
Irving also said he’s not willing to commit to any team past his current two-year contract.

Alliance for Securing Democracy
OUR MISSION
Finding out what happened in the United States in 2016 and the impact it had is important.
Twitter accounts that have been linked to Russian influence operations have jumped on the anti-McMaster bandwagon, too, using hashtags like #FireMcMaster and #deepstate, according to a newly launched website* that aims to track Russian propaganda efforts in real time.
On Friday, the top and trending websites the accounts were sharing were the Circa story about McMaster letting Rice keep her security clearance. Shares of a Breitbart story titled "NSC Purge: McMaster 'Deeply Hostile to Israel and to Trump'" have increased by 2,300% since Wednesday, according to the site, and "clearance," "McMaster," and "Susan Rice" were among the top and trending topics.

REPORTS | CLEVELAND CAVALIERS LACKING SUBSTANTIAL OFFERS FOR KYRIE IRVING
I TOLD ja! I fucking told ja! The Mistakers are in dream land on this. If they had any brains, which they don't, they have Dan Gilbert, they would have taken the best offer they had when the trade request became public. It was such a shock--THAT is when people are going to make irrational decisions. But NOO! Lake Mistake took the "considered" approach. It's like if you see a car that you fall in love with (not that I would know), it looks all shiny and sparkily sitting there on the showroom floor batting its headlights at you. THAT is when the salesman moves in for the kill. If you walk out, to talk it over with the wife or check Consumers Reports, the salesman is fucked.
Here, Cleveland is so stupid, they told the in-love car buyer, "Why don't you think about it? Don't write me a check now! Come back next week." And so that's what Wojarnowski's "dozen suitors", "and it will be more!" did. Cleve gave them time to talk it over, to think it over, do some research, to fall out of LOVE.
"Oh yeah, he was Cleveland's star before they had LeBron James and they SUCKED. Just like we do now. He wants his own team again! See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!"
"Oh yeah, why wouldn't he want to play with LeBron? Oh yeah, because he doesn't want to WIN. Rather be the star on a shitty team. Like US."
"Oh. They were a minus 5,000,000 when he was on the floor without LeBron. I just remember The Shot".
"Oh. Kyrie says he will NOT sign an extension with any new team? So, we give up the best we have PERMANENTLY and he auto-drives outta our garage in two years? Thank ye, Cavs, thank ye. We will call ya. Don't yinz call us."
Time decidedly was NOT on Cleve's side in this thing so what do they do? "Take your time!" Stupid. STOOPID!
"Special Counsel Robert Mueller Impanels Washington Grand Jury in Russia Probe"-WSJ
Oh.
Expansion beyond Flynn grand jury is a sign the investigation in election meddling is ramping up.
I guess he can see. Narrow, connected, and core, too. Not that periphery bullshit.
Really, this shouldn't have taken long and it didn't. The evidence is overwhelming.
Mr. Trump, your reservation in the Booty Bandit love suite at the Gray Bar Hotel is confirmed.

"Russian on-air attack sparks propaganda debate"-BBC
I am convinced that Trump supporters took their cues from, unbeknownst to them, Russian-sponsored "news" sources, from those echo chambers like Breitbart, and from Trump the candidate himself.
This is how Trump stole the 2016 election as the witting agent of the Russian Federation. Not by alteration of the vote-count for godssake, by Russian "soft influence" like the "news" sites; by intimidation, by encouraging violence at his rallies (he offered to pay the legal expenses of the transvestite in the cowboy hat immediately above), by signalling that violence was acceptable ("Lock her up!," "Trump that Bitch!"), by predicting violence at the convention should he lose ("I think there will be riots."); by repeatedly de-legitimizing a Clinton victory ("The election is rigged."). All of that is right out of the Russian playbook at home. Come on, Mueller, Stevie Wonder can see treason here.
I, Benjamin Harris, wish Donald Trump and nine degrees of separation lives which are solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and shortened.
Federal investigators exploring whether Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russian spies have seized on Trump and his associates' financial ties to Russia as one of the most fertile avenues for moving their probe forward, according to people familiar with the investigation.
The web of financial ties could offer a more concrete path toward potential prosecution than the broader and murkier questions of collusion in the 2016 campaign, these sources said.
The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated.

No. I am not down with that. Stick to broad and murky. Isn't what the Special Counsel's raison d'etre?
ORDER NO. 3915-2017
APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
TO INVESTIGATE RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE WITH THE
2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND RELATED MATTERS
...[T]o ensure a full and thorough investigation of the
Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, I hereby order as
follows:
(b) The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI
Director James 8. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:
(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals
associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).*
* This is 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a):
[He got that.]
The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel's investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses...
[I got no problem with that!]
...
(d) Sections 600.4 through 600. l 0 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations are applicable to the Special Counsel.
...
(d) Sections 600.4 through 600. l 0 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations are applicable to the Special Counsel.
Now, this is 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(b):
If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel concludes that additional jurisdiction beyond that specified in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned, or to investigate new matters that come to light in the course of his or her investigation, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General, who will determine whether to include the additional matters within the Special Counsel's jurisdiction or assign them elsewhere.
"This is like any investigation," says one person briefed on the probe. "You start at the core and then move to the periphery. You have to explore the finances. Where this is going is no different from any investigation."
Oh. "Or assign them elsewhere." I got a problem with that. That means anything the Special Counsel undercovers will be investigated either by Special Counsel or "elsewhere." So this is my thing: I don't like that statute. It is too easy to go beyond the original jurisdiction. That is what happened with Bill Clinton. What was Ken Starr's original jurisdiction? Whitewater. Where did it go? To cum stains on Monica Lewinsky's dress. You shouldn't be able to get from there to there. What does it matter that "I don't like that statute"? (No answer needed.) That is the law.
I have heard the analogy made to Al Capone. Never convicted of anything related to racketeering or the mafia. Got him on tax evasion. The difference is that the jurisdiction to investigate Capone was not circumscribed by special order. The investigation of De Facto is circumscribed by special order. What does that difference matter? (See above.) That's the law.
Why can't we just have a special counsel law that limits jurisdiction to the "specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated"? Trump and nine degrees of separation colluded with the Russians, they obstructed justice; I want Trump, et al prosecuted, convicted and sentenced to the same jail cell as the Booty Bandit for Russia, not cum stains or tax evasion. Why "will"... "a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated" be provided if the Special Counsel can go from Whitewater to cum stains? I don't know.
...Sources described an investigation that has widened...
That's gonna happen.
...to focus on possible financial crimes, some unconnected to the 2016 elections,
Ditto.
I suggest Congress re-write 28 C.F.R. § 600.4 to require "narrowed," "connected" and "core" and give immunity--Yes, give immunity!--to "widened", "unconnected" and "periphery."
The possible financial ties between Trump and Russia were part of the concerns for US intelligence and law enforcement officials from the beginning...
Over the decades, the Trump real estate business and its financial dealings have come under scrutiny by the FBI and the Justice Department multiple times.
Since the FBI scrutinized Trump "multiple times" "for decades" and brought no charges he should be immune from prosecution for those same things under the special counsel order.
In some cases, the FBI was pursuing others who did business with the Trump organization, including alleged mobsters who controlled key contractors used by many real estate developers in New York during the 1980s. The flow of Russian money in real estate -- and concerns that some buyers were making the purchases to illegally launder money -- had also drawn some attention by US authorities to the Trump business.
...
...some FBI officials fear the question of whether there was any criminal coordination or collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia may never be answered.
No! If the question cannot be answered in the affirmative then it is answered in the negative!
...the FBI and Mueller's prosecution team may not have enough evidence to bring charges related to possible illegal coordination with a foreign intelligence service. Instead, prosecutors could pursue financial crime charges unrelated to the election.
That's the problem with 28 C.F.R. § 600.4. If Mueller doesn't have the evidence to bring charges for collusion then he should wide up his affairs, not pursue unrelated crimes. But, that's not the law. Oh well! Trump, I would recommend sticking a dildo up your ass regularly, if you do not already follow that particular practice, as training for the Booty Bandit.
Why Do the Heavens Not Darken?--Or--And the Band Plays On
In the worst times people need to have some good in their lives. Not just survive, to live on, but to enjoy life a little. When a loved one dies, when disaster destroys one's home, when there is war, when one has lost one's country, life still must be lived and since life must go on can we have the band play one, too? Why not? Heaven, and Hell, are places on Earth.

$261 MILLION! NEYMAR TRANSFER SHATTERS RECORD!
Paris Saint-Germaine (PSG) secured the services--For which they have to pay the player even more!--of the Brazilian/Barcelona star with that jaw-dropping payment into Barca's bank account, more than doubling the former record of $117 mil paid just last year by Manchester "Buccaneers" to Juventus for Paul Pogba.
That is frigging unbelievable!
