Federal Judge has stern words for Michael Flynn

Judge unloads on Michael Flynn in scathing remarks: ‘I can’t hide my disgust’

A federal judge has unloaded on Donald Trump’s ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn during a court hearing on Tuesday over an agreement he and his lawyers made seeking no jail time in exchange for his cooperation.
Judge Emmett Sullivan, who has presided over Flynn’s sentencing for lying to the FBI about his secret work for the Turkish government before joining the Trump administration, slammed the retired three-star general during a final hearing.
The judge said Flynn’s secretive work for a foreign government “arguably” undermined “everything this flag over here stands for” while motioning towards a US flag in the Washington courtroom.
“I am going to be frank with you, this crime is very serious,” Judge Sullivan said to Flynn. “I can’t hide my disgust, my disdain, at this criminal offense.”
Flynn was one of the several dozen Trump associates caught up in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, along with other allies of the president ensnared on tax crimes and other various bank and money laundering scams, from former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen, to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and Rick Gates, the president’s former campaign chairman.
He has since attempted to claim that he was tricked into having a conversation with FBI investigators which he described as a “chat” rather than an interrogation — a point the judge skewered as a falsity while rebuking the former general.
Flynn, who was recently pardoned by the president, has stirred controversy in recent days over his calls for Mr Trump to overturn his electoral defeat with the help of the US military.
“There is no way in the world we are going to be able to move forward as a nation,” Flynn said. “[The president] could immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these machines.”
“Within the swing states,” he added, “if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities, and he could place those in states and basically rerun an election in each of those states.”

I Just Got Myself A Perfect Man and He's All Mine.
He offered himself to me, he's been unowned for 15 months now and yearning to be owned again, by me!. He is submissive , nicely-built and single. I love that he believes in FEMALE SUPREMACY and SERVITUDE. and have respect for a female-led relationship. He is well-trained for domestic duties, cooking, ironing and laundry is his favorite task. He will also take me shopping for high-heels, of my favorite color. He will prepare my bath , wash me, have a warm towel ready and pat me dry. He calls me mistress and will make my life wonderful.

Widowed men..
I can't believe that in the last 24 hours, 8 widowed men, 6 in the half hour, the widowed men with only one child emailed/messaged me. That's about 750 men all together so far, yup am keeping track lol
The crazy part about it all, is that I haven't seen, met or never got o n e s i n g l e email/message from any ' SINGLE MAN or MEN,
Seems like there are NO single men in CS, all of them must be all widowed from what I can see, about 30 were divorced, about 30 never married...
WTH ? Must be all scammers that all have about 10 or more profiles with people waiting to be blocked so they could sign in with another name,
All give the same exact messages, now I can understand why nobody can meet their True Love's or just ' anybody ' in CS, coz it's full of scammers. :
is just wishful thinking....

Quote of the day Ron Reagan
I asked President Reagan’s son, Ron Reagan, if his dad would recognize the Republican Party right now.
His answer:
“He would be horrified by the Republican Party right now, the spinelessness in the face of the pathological entity in the White House right now would shock him.”

John Winston Lennon's Birthday. He would have been 80 today.
In response to:
Famed singer-songwriter John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, during a German air raid in World War II.
When he was four years old, Lennon's parents separated and he ended up living with his Aunt Mimi.
Lennon's father was a merchant seaman.Oct 17, 2019
John's IQ was tested when he was 16 and his IQ was 165
As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his best-selling album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 1982, Lennon was honoured with the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and thirty-eighth greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994)
Yoko Ono had Lennon's body cremated at the Ferncliff Cemetery, and scattered his ashes in Central Park, in sight of their New York apartment. Five years later, the Strawberry Fields Memorial was dedicated on the approximate spot, and more or less serves as Lennon's official gravesite.
Education: Quarry Bank High School, Liverpool .
Birth Date: October 9, 1940
Death Date: December 8, 1980
His murderer was Mark David Chapman, an American Beatles fan who had traveled from Hawaii. Chapman stated that he was angered by Lennon's lifestyle and public statements, especially his much-publicized remark about the Beatles being "more popular than Jesus" and the lyrics of his later songs "God" and "Imagine".

Thus, Chapman was a religious nutcase.
Quote of last night
"In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.
Donald Trump has made my job a hell of a lot harder since he started talking about Portland, but I never thought he'd try to turn my wife against me !"
~ Sheriff Mike Reese (Sheriff of the county Portland is part of)

Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Brock dies at 81. Interesting history courtesy of NY Times

Lou Brock, Baseball Hall of Famer Known for Stealing Bases, Dies at 81
The son of sharecroppers, Brock attended a one-room schoolhouse, but was inspired by possibilities beyond the poverty and segregation of the rural South.
By Richard Goldstein

Lou Brock, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Hall of Fame outfielder who in a career spanning two decades became the greatest base-stealer the major leagues had ever known when he eclipsed the single-season and career records for steals, died on Sunday. He was 81.
d*ck Zitzmann, Brock’s agent, confirmed the death to The Associated Press, but did not provide any details. Brock began receiving treatment for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, in 2017. His left leg was amputated in 2015 as a result of a diabetes-related infection.
On June 15, 1964, a floundering Cardinals team traded one of the National League’s leading pitchers for an outfielder who had failed to live up to his promise. That deal, sending the right-hander Ernie Broglio to the Chicago Cubs for Brock as the centerpiece of a six-player swap, became one of the most one-sided trades in baseball history, but hardly in the way that many envisioned.
Broglio won only seven games for the Cubs over the next two and a half seasons, then retired. Brock, sought by Cardinals Manager Johnny Keane for his largely untapped speed, helped take St. Louis to the 1964 World Series championship and went on to turn around games year after year with his feet and his bat.
Brock’s 118 stolen bases in 1974 eclipsed Maury Wills’s single-season record of 104, set in 1962, and his 938 career steals broke Ty Cobb’s mark of 892.
He led the National League in steals eight times. Although Rickey Henderson would break Brock’s stolen-base records, Brock’s luster remained undimmed. A left-handed batter, he had 3,023 hits and hit .300 eight times. He helped propel the Cardinals to three pennants and two World Series championships. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985.
Louis Clark Brock was born on June 18, 1939, in El Dorado, Ark., and grew up in Collinston, La., in a family of sharecroppers who picked cotton. He attended a one-room schoolhouse, but at the age of 9 he was inspired by possibilities beyond the poverty and segregation of the rural South.
He was listening one night to a feed from the St. Louis radio station KMOX. Harry Caray was broadcasting a game between the Cardinals and Jackie Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodgers, the summer after Robinson broke the major leagues’ color barrier, a time when, as Brock put it, “Jim Crow was king.”
“I was searching the dial of an old Philco radio,” Brock recalled. and when he heard about Robinson, “I felt pride in being alive. The baseball field was my fantasy of what life offered.”
As a boy, Brock never played organized baseball. Instead of a ball and bat, he swatted rocks with tree branches. But he received an academic scholarship to Southern University in Baton Rouge, La., and played baseball there, catching the attention of Buck O’Neil, the longtime Negro leagues player and manager, who was scouting for the Cubs.
The Cubs’ organization signed Brock in August 1960, and he made his major league debut late in the ’61 season. But two summers later, he was batting only .251 and struggling with the Wrigley Field sun as the Cubs’ right fielder. He was considered perhaps the fastest man in the league, but the Cubs were reluctant to turn him loose on the basepaths. ....
