"And after 10 years, if the boy successfully completes probation, doesn't commit additional offense, and complies with the payment plans, the court can grant full or partial satisfaction of the restitution judgment."

He hurt a lot of people.

Did Rosenstein and Wray play Trump?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...y-trump/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f23cd482c5cf

"Sarah Sanders says meeting with Hill lawmakers will take place Thursday about confidential FBI source -- and NO Dems will be at the meeting. Nunes and Gowdy will meet with Wray, Coats and a senior DOJ official. No WH staff will attend."

Everybody is playing Trump. Just making an obstruction case easier.

Wow. Lesley Stahl, speaking at the Deadline Club Awards, says she once asked Trump why he continues to relentlessly attack the press.

His answer: “I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you."

.@GovChristie on Trump's latest move in Russia probe: "I've told him many times that there's no way to make an investigation like this shorter, but there's lots of ways to make it longer, and he's executed on a number of those ways to make it longer" @ university of chicago

Sadly #China is out-negotiating the administration & winning the trade talks right now. They have avoided tariffs & got a #ZTE deal without giving up anything meaningful in return by using N.Korea talks & agriculture issues as leverage. This is #NotWinning

Nonsense. Completely different law firm - no ties to Daniels case. Irrelevant. Over blown. Sensational reporting at its finest. Check the facts next time please and report accurately.

Gone for a few days and you come back with this weak post?

First, ripping of mr-x. He uses that ridiculous old and busted/new hotness line.

And I didn't defend Avenatti. That's his tweet, not mine. 10 million is less than the 25 million Trump University fraud settlement btw. And it has nothing to do with the case.

I know it's his tweet but you posted it as a rebuttal to Mr.X's logline post! Why would you post it if you weren't defending "Avenatti's Honor" which obviously is none! We need to get you some better friends JB! Defending Hamas and Scumbag Fame and Ambulance chasers is no way to go through life!

If you're just getting warmed up, you already tripped over yourself.

You give him props, stop stealing from him, be original.

I have no idea if what he said is true, it usually is, again, his tweet.

And Hamas? Nobody is talking about that today, we already had that conversation. I think it was you talking about AK's and grenades, yet they didn't manage to kill even 1 person. I believe you skipped that. I understand you wanting to talk about something else, based on all the bad news about Trump.

Also, again, try to stop posting stupid stuff/learn to read. I think it was you or mr-x said that crazy stuff about MS-13, and I had to quote myself saying I was fine with Trump handling them and all gangs and:

Again, learn to read, Hamas. I literally just told you "I even linked to an article yesterday about it." Then I said they were being used.

I didn't skip anything, I decided not to let you troll me if you misunderstood my post, as it's not worth the time!
If you read my post or re-read my post I said, "today it's molotov cocktails tomorrow it's grenades and missle launchers, so where do you start defending yourself?" Something to that effect! You were so incensed that no Jews were killed at the rate Hamas and Palestinian woman and children human shields were, that I'm sure you just misunderstood what I was saying! I'll give you the benefit of a doubt!

Nigel Farage Questions Mark Zuckerberg over censorship In the European Parliament. 22nd May 2018

Nigel Farage Destroys Mark Zuckerberg: Stop Telling Us Facebook is “Platform for All Ideas” – Your Algorithms Censor Conservatives!

The algorithm change caused President Donald Trump’s engagement on Facebook posts to plummet a whopping 45%.

In contrast, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) do not appear to have suffered a comparable decline in Facebook engagement.

As expected, Zack didn't directly answer Nigel's question.

Zuckerberg is looking like an Android. Someone needs to poke him with a pin to see if blood or motor oil comes out....

Haha

"Even if they did face a similar decline, it would not be comparable in terms of impact."

Not even if, they did. Looking at the graph, Sanders looks to have dropped about the same percentage. Farage is a big baby.

NYT: Michael Cohen's 'taxi king' business partner to cooperate with government
Washington (CNN)A New York taxi kingpin and business partner of President Donald Trump's attorney Michael Cohen has agreed to cooperate with the government, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The Times said the agreement for Evegny "Gene" Freidman would allow him to avoid jail time and would have him work with prosecutors in both the state and federal investigations.

Germany will now train asylum seekers to become truck drivers. What could possibly go wrong?

Stacey Abrams, who is trying to become the country’s first black female governor, won the Democratic nomination in Georgia.
Abrams will face the winner of a crowded Republican primary field in a conservative-leaning state.

5-4 vote against worker rights, majority opinion by Gorsich.

If 45 is so concerned about “spies”, why is he still refusing to take proper security precautions with his phone? And where’s the outrage about this?

"Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that the 1925 Federal Arbitration Act trumps the National Labor Relations Act and that employees who sign employment agreements to arbitrate claims must do so on an individual basis"

Dramatic headline but Congress could fix this.

All we know is the President has two phones. One is for secure phone calls, the other for twitter. Only a few people actually know often he changes phones. I think these types of "reports" are more gossip than journalism.

No Whites Allowed at Georgetown Community Dialogue on Racism
Georgetown University students who recently held a community dialogue event on a new proposal to arm campus police told their white peers that they weren’t permitted to attend.

The event, which was highlighted by Robby Soave at Reason Magazine, took place at the end of April and was hosted by the student group, Georgetown United Against Police Aggression.
