Roger Stone - developmentally disabled?

Before dawn, heavily-armed FBI agents rushed between Florida palm trees to confront their target.

The spectacle was ordered by Robert Mueller who has turned understatement into an art form.

Roger Stone was indicted on seven counts in Mueller’s probe into Russia interference in the 2016 US election.

The 66-year-old was one of the “ratfuckers” who engaged in dirty tricks on behalf of Richard Nixon when he was still a teenager. From there he mastered the dark art of ruthless campaigning, working for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and Donald Trump.

His attachment to Nixon is literally in the form of the disgraced former president’s grinning face tattooed on his back.

An arch conspiracy theorist, Stone embraced “fake news” before the term existed. His blurring of the lines between real and make-believe goes so far that it is hard to tell where the real Roger Stone ends and the fictitious Roger Stone begins.

In Mueller’s 23-page indictment is a text message sent by Stone to a person alleged to be his go-between with WikiLeaks. In it, Stone tries to persuade the intermediary to keep his mouth shut when facing investigators. “Stonewall it,” the text says. ‘Plead the fifth. Anything to save the plan … Richard Nixon.”

In further attempts allegedly to lean on the individual – dubbed “Person 2” in the indictment but presumed to be the radio host Randy Credico – Stone drew on a character from The Godfather: Part II. Do a “Frank Pentangeli” he exhorted.

The charges concentrate on Stone’s alleged lies about his actions concerning WikiLeaks and thousands of Democratic emails reportedly hacked by Russian agents during the 2016 election.

Collusion on steroids.

Round up the usual suspects.

“NO COLLUSION”

Trump’s reaction to the Roger Stone indictment!

As Robert Mueller moves into Trump’s inner circle, there’s evidence of collusion everywhere, and it has everything to do with the president.

But is Trump's collusion a criminal conspiracy against America?

Stone was charged with obstruction of justice, lying to Congress, and witness tampering.

Stone had sought to downplay his connection to WikiLeaks, but the indictment portrays him as actively involved.

Most significantly, the indictment makes it clear Stone wasn’t just freelancing: He was working on behalf of the Trump campaign.

Furthermore, the indictment alleges “a senior Trump Campaign official was directed to contact” Stone to find out what other damaging information about Clinton might be coming.

But the criminal implications for those in the campaign remain nebulous.

Mueller could uncover evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russians, or the campaign’s numerous documented interactions with Russians were not criminal, but those interactions could be politically devastating for Trump in 2020.

In 2016, the Trump campaign, knowing that emails were stolen from an opponent by a hostile foreign power, did not alert the authorities or disavow that act but secretly accepted the help.

In a text message quoted in the indictment, Stone allegedly told a witness who was being asked to testify before Congress: “Stonewall it. Plead the fifth. Anything to save the plan. . . . Richard Nixon.” The reference to the 37th president, who was Stone’s political idol.

Republicans worship Idols

Worshiping idols
what can you do?
Die on the toilet
at age 42.

From his youth...

to his death, the constipated Elvis was idolized. Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock ’n’ Roll,” died on the morning of 16 August 1977, apparently of a heart attack, at the age of 42. Presley died alone on the toilet in his 23-room mansion, Graceland. The cause of his death is unknown, and remains controversial to this day.

So goes it with Elvis wanna-bes.

If your music sucks, pick up a bible!

and take everyone down in flames.

Truth keeps strange bedfellows.

John Whiteside "Jack" Parsons was an American rocket engineer and Thelemite occultist. Parsons was one of the principal founders of both the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Aerojet Engineering Corporation. Loosely based on Parson's life, Rosemary's Baby revealed the Jack Parsons - L Ron Hubbard satanic workings. Rosemary's Baby comes across as slow to many viewers. 140 minutes is a long time. There also appears to be a lot of unnecessary details to the casual viewer.

The Skipper in Rosemary's Baby, for example, is a tip-of-the-cap to LRH. Actor Paul Denton portrays "the Skipper"

Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, referred to by his initials LRH, was an American author and the founder of the Church of Scientology (Co$). After establishing a minor career as a science fiction/fantasy writer, in 1950 he published Dianetics.

And LRH was idolized!

Best known for extracting Tomato Thetans... and Clams.

L Ron invented Scientology! But he, at least, avoided dying on the toilet. (He was IN the toilet) (pun)

Before the Moonies, there were moonies. All loonie moonies.

Therefore, no surprise here:

Tweets from the toilet
the Trump sends his cult
A nick-name added
(a stupid insult)
when he 'falls from grace,'
do not dispair
three hots and a cot
await Don Jr. there.

2020 already?

America’s 2020 presidential election is starting to warm up.

The hyperpartisanship and polarization affected our political behavior and made election outcomes predictable.

For the 2018 midterms, we watched a large partisan surge for Democrats (the Blue Wave). Democrats picked up 40 seats in the House of Representatives when the counting was over! Conservative misinformation has grown thread bare.

Motivated by Trump’s idiocy , Democratic voters, especially college-educated women, turned out against Trump’s GOP in large numbers.

In 2020, Democrats will win in urban, diverse, better-educated, and liberal-friendly states.

Although Trump may take both Ohio and Florida, he is no longer likely to carry Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania in 2020.

The midterm performance of Democrats in those states was stunning.

Trump’s troubles with swing voters, whom he won in 2016, will put Arizona, North Carolina and even Georgia in play for Democrats and completely remove Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, and New Hampshire from his list of possible swing states.

In short, the 2020 presidential election is a battle of the bases, and the Democratic base is bigger, younger, more motivated, and enthusiastic – and their ground game dwarfs that of the GOP.

And Mueller said: "Get me Roger Stone!"

Legal "Discovery" is a wonderful thing.

That youthful demographic advantage combined with enthusiasm (and party loyalty) gives the Democratic Party a significant structural advantage. Turnout in 2018 was about 12 points higher than the 2016 turnout and higher than any other midterm in decades.
