If white yokels did not have the internetz, the world would be a much better place.

Just be careful, because everyone knows if you keep doing that your brain is going to freeze that way.

In comparison, Roanoke is the 70th largest media outlet in the United States and 38% of households in Roanoke lack broadband compared to 3% in Northern Virginia....Notably, however, voters in the Alexandria Division voted 2-to-1 in favor of Secretary Clinton (66% Clinton; 34% Trump).6 This split is more balanced in other places in Roanoke, Virginia, located in the Western District of Virginia.Remember folks, information = power.

True story. I worked with a guy who got into a crazy drunken fight with his wife, and, after she went to bed, got the gas can from the garage, doused the bed, and tossed on a match. He, of course, went to jail. After being convicted, he petitioned the court for early release because his wife had been burned in a terrible accident, and he wanted to take care of her.

The only way Manafort comes close to getting a "jury of his peers" if if Mueller grants immunity to the thirteen indicted Russians and have them come back to man that jury.

wait, i'm sorry, where the fuck is "Successful Vanquishing"??? I bet it's amazing and incredible and I call upon the Special Counsel to immediately release this information in the extreme public interest. I bet Manafort pulled an Uwe Boll and it's going to be beautiful.

To normal people. Not in Donald Trump's view. Out of his mouth, "rule of law" means "I rule and I say what law is."

I have a dreadful feeling Putin is already telling his assassination teams just that. Not that I'd mourn Manafort too deeply, but if it happened, of course Trump cult members would be sure the Deep State did it, even if the agent was trademarked "exclusively Russian." I have the same dread of Trump dying in office. There are three reasons why he might, all realistic -- his age, his weight and eating habits, and the way he handles stress (not too well). Gateway Pundit wouldn't be slow to proclaim in banner headlines that it was Clinton Death Squad work.For that reason I actually hope he stays alive long enough for the accumulating mountain of evidence against his entire political team, family, and self to grow even larger.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to suborn witnesses in his case, knowing he'd get caught and wanting to be -- on the assumption that he'd be safer in solitary confinement in an American prison, from Putin's assassins sent to shut his mouth, than on the outside. Maybe Manafort, on this occasion at least, wasn't as dumb as he appeared. He knows from his years working for Deripaska how these jokers do things.

And voter suppression. Never forget voter suppression. Or that 2013 Supreme Court decision on Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. The justices said 5-4 it wasn't needed any longer. No kidding? I, uh, do sort of think it still was.
