:salt: <-- ok, Not really .

I will be back.

In the meantime... there is this news from the AP.
Last August, a handwritten ledger surfaced in Ukraine with dollar amounts and dates next to the name of Paul Manafort, who was then Donald Trump's campaign chairman.

Ukrainian investigators called it evidence of off-the-books payments from a pro-Russian political party — and part of a larger pattern of corruption under the country's former president. Manafort, who worked for the party as an international political consultant, has publicly questioned the ledger's authenticity.

Now, financial records newly obtained by The Associated Press confirm that at least $1.2 million in payments listed in the ledger next to Manafort's name were actually received by his consulting firm in the United States. They include payments in 2007 and 2009, providing the first evidence that Manafort's firm received at least some money listed in the so-called Black Ledger.

Morning

Happy "spring". It's not like records were broken here for high temperatures, they were obliterated.

Boston - 84 old record - 78
Windsor Locks, CT - 88 old record - 79
Worcester - 83 old record - 80
Providence - 80 old record - 79 (well they're Rhode Islanders)

On this day of passing for J. Geils, my first exposure to the band aside from radio airplay of their chart-toppers in the early 80s, was finding the Freeze Frame album in a crate of records at my Latch Key class. My fave tune from that album?

I want to know how Pres Xi didn't roll his eyes so hard they snapped out of his head and rolled to his plane and left.

Election hijinx such as this perpetrated by Bentley's mistress should be a capital offense.

But since we just shrug off treason, I guess not.

This is what I would describe as a tell:


“If there was anything that Syria did, it was to validate the fact that there is no Russia tie,” Eric Trump told The Daily Telegraph during an interview at the family’s Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. Russia, the most powerful ally of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, has condemned the U.S. missile strikes and been critical of the U.S. president for ordering them.

Good morning, bloggers! Sorry that I was absent yesterday, but I have been subbing and also had a Pesach dinner.

As for Sean Spicer, the fool needs to be canned -- after remaining Holocaust survivors, veterans who saw the camps, and children of Holocaust survivors and veterans tell him to go to Hell. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200,000. Go straight to Hell!

45 is probably going to do more damage in four years than Bush and Cheney did in eight years. He is endangering the carrier group by talking about it.

So, Dipshit was yammering about the actual composition of the naval task force we moved close Korea? Is there an article along with the tweets?

I suspect more stories like this will come out now that the floodgates have been opened.

But this time it happened to a rich, white guy.

After the thing yesterday there were quite a few media outlets digging into the guy's past and running stories about how he had a criminal background and whatnot.

And it turns out they were digging into the wrong person with a similar Vietnamese name.

You could watch the interview.

It's pretty easy to find.

I wish there was another source other than this (a domestic source). Because this is all I've seen so far.

But if true, lots more heads are swinging besides United's CEO. This will be the Dr's big payday.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe because another country named Russia invaded it, bombed its people, stole a giant chunk of it, manipulated its elections, assasinated its president using polonium and then installed a puppet dictator, and now is trying to help half the country declare independence so it can essentially steal another giant chunk through annexation.

Oh wait, Russia.

Secretary Tillerson, I would like you meet my childhood friend Andre Kiebuzinski. Andre is Ukrainian. He will explain the long and complex relationship between Russia and Ukraine. He will explain in great detail why the Ukrainian people fucking hate Russia. :coughStalinfaminecough:

Did you think I was joking?

I wasn't., Mondo.

I am not a minion.

I am your friend and maybe I didn't make it clear, I was really uncomfortable with what happened here in this blog today.

It's my fault I let you make me feel like shit, I take that responsibility.

It's not my fault that you could have used the internet to see what I was talking about -- it doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to watch Video at work -- you still have google.

Eh, maybe, dunno yet. Love you, mean it. rings hollow.

I have feelings -- just like you.
