Day: April 9, 2018

The FBI on Monday raided the office of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, obtaining a search warrant after referral from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller according to the New York Times. Agents reportedly seized materials related to the $130,000 payment Cohen made to porn actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election to prevent her from speaking out about the alleged affair she had with President Donald Trump. The FBI, the Times reported, seized “records related to several topics.” Trump spoke out about the case for the first time last week, telling reporters on Thursday that he didn’t know about the payment. He referred questions to Cohen.

Misery. That's what's on tap for the stupid lazy 93% of Americans who are so dumb that we are not yet millionaires. How do I know? Imagine a subprime lending industry that charges exorbitant rates loans to people least suited to afford them. Imagine that this industry (deregulated by Tom Carper), has been free to obscure the real risks of sub-prime lending by spinning the shitty debt into high-risk/high-yield bonds. Now imagine that this fraudulent scam is collapsing, and three prominent players are shut down spectacularly and suddenly through bankruptcies and fraud investigations. You don't have to imagine it...because it is already here. Welcome to Carmageddon: The subprime car-lending industry bubble is popped and it is not going to end well.

It is like some kind of harmonic convergence that only happens once every 100,000 years. The Delaware Retrumpicans got a Pastor (from a relatively non-crazy denomination) who is also a General, and (on paper anyway) a nice, decent guy.
