Canada's own shit-heel Julian Fantino used to be the Toronto Police Chief, Ontario Provincial Police Chief, then a strident law-and-order Conservative Member of Parliament. Oh, and then he retired and got into the weed game.

Isn't Boehner just making a greedy investment in a growth market? Amoral capitalism, business as usual?
On not playing chicken with Trump, that horse bolted when they treated him as a joke candidate in the Autumn of 2015 and disengaged any critical faculties that would have been applied to a serious runner. They have never recalibrated from that starting point IMHO. Joke candidate is now joke President but, er, with nukes, yet too few media people are abandoning the post-modern irony mode in favour of recognizing that this is a deeply frightening crisis period that is not just blowing over any time soon.
Too many people grabbing popcorn and a beer to watch the car crash action unfold live instead of grabbing a placard and saying make it fucking stop.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 12-04-2018, 02:03.

Quite. As a friend of mine said: "There are lots of people who can’t overcome/control their fascination with chaos, regardless of its negative consequences, even to them. And so we get baiting. Accidental, unconscious, or deliberate."

It's also driven by 24 hour cable news. They love this stuff because essentially their ratings are highest during disasters of whichever type. They have a vested interest in chaos, just as long as they can stick a camera on it with Anderson Cooper flying in. It's a toxic incentive to bait nutters.

The pee tape...folks, it's definitely real:
President Trump wanted James Comey to investigate the infamous “pee tape” allegations — to reassure Melania that he hadn’t actually paid Russian hookers to urinate on a hotel bed, the former FBI chief claims in his upcoming book.
“He brought up what he called the ‘golden showers thing’ … adding that it bothered him if there was ‘even a one percent chance’ his wife, Melania, thought it was true,” Comey writes in “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” a copy of which was obtained by The Post.
“He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn’t possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him.”
The conversation took place during the same private dinner on Jan. 27, 2017, where Comey as claims the president demanded “loyalty” — and just days after the publication of an intelligence dossier alleging that the Kremlin had a tape of Trump paying prostitutes to perform the dirty deed on a bed once occupied by President Obama.
Comey says he warned Trump an investigation might “create a narrative that we were investigating him personally,” the former top G-man writes.
The president replied that he “might be right” — but kept asking him to consider the idea, and said he would as well, according to Comey.

You'd think that the crooks might have learned something from Watergate.
Apparently not.
It seems that Michael Cohen was making recordings of all kinds of phone calls.
Hilariously, he was making the recordings in order to use them to blackmail the people he called. Or, as they euphemistically describe it, as "leverage".
They really are complete fucking idiots.

New York real estate really is a separate universe in which the standard rules haven’t applied for well over a century.
This country (and others) are full of these singularities, and one can look at this whole thing and #MeToo as lifting the rocks that have covered some of them for longer than I have been on this planet (let alone this board).
