Helmuth James von Moltke held a very unique position in Berlin during WW II. He was involved in the minutia of war without himself being a Nazi. And he had what might today be called "security clearance." He secretly wrote to his wife Freya in August 1941:
The news from the East is terrible again. Our losses are obviously very, very heavy. But that could be borne were we not burdened with hecatombs of corpses. Again and again one hears reports that in transports of prisoners or Jews only 20% arrive, that there is starvation in the prisoner-of-war camps, that typhoid and all the other deficiency epidemics have broken out, that our own people are breaking down from exhaustion. What will happen when the nation as a whole realizes that the war is lost, and lost differently from the last one? With a blood-guilt that cannot be atoned for in our lifetime and can never be forgotten, with an economy that is completely ruined? Will men arise capable of distilling contrition and penance from this punishment, and so, gradually, a new strength to live? Or will everything go under in chaos?That passage may seem like old news, but, it was prescient: Note the early date: August 1941. Operation Barbarossa was barely a year old. Stalingrad -- the conventional turning point in the war against the Germans -- was 16 months in the future: 1942-43. We Americans were not even in the war yet.
Today we have the Mueller squads going around, not shooting people in the head, but essentially holding guns to the heads of former Trump associates and convicting them of crimes for no other reason than political ones. Their sole intent is to get Trump. And yet they call us Nazis. Their physical henchmen -- antifa -- are more literally shedding blood under the same banner. Both don't seem to realize that they are spreading political blood-guilt that cannot be atoned for in any future election.

Trump paid some whores to be quiet. So fucking what. It's not against the law nor is it unprecedented. Edwards was tried (and not convicted) for having a political supporter (some mad old woman) pay off his whore. Which is different.
Mueller the Rat Fink Deep State Twink is supposed to be on the hunt for collusion but clearly is not. He manages to overlook all the obvious collusion going on on the left while energetically burrowing out the ancient tax evasions of hired guns in order to elicit sad "admissions" of campaign violations that aren't really campaign violations. And the media bubble pulses with erotic excitement while the rest of the country ... abides. Because that's what the Dude does.
The Ofay will rage on but what has their rage accomplished other than put lights around the fact that the left are C R A Z Y. And smelly. And quite stupid.
Just pray that the economy stays strong.
Yes, Haiku it is, my chiruski, pictured without season:
MamaM's free style
swim through a pool of thoughts churned
something in my head.
With the roiled water bringing up something close to poetry in the wake:

If you read the trolls, they're grabbing at straws on all of this, not unlike the Krauts as the Allies were closing in.
They think Cohen's guilty plea means anything but what it is, trying to weasel out of a charge that has nothing to do with the God Emperor (Mule Ears wished it off on the US Attorney in NY about a month ago)
8 convictions out of 32 indictments is a lousy track record, especially when Manafort was exonerated of those charges 8 years ago. Watch for fun in appellate court.
They seem to think approving Kavanaugh's nomination to SCUS will cause the body politic to rise as one to thrust out the Rs. The idea people vote their pocketbooks never seems to enter their heads.
They keep saying it's now how America works. You think '16 was fun?
Let's hope Mueller ends up in the same place as Clarence Beeks.
I thought the statute of limitation was five years for federal felonies, so how did they manage to go after Manafort for these old cases? As for getting eight out of eighteen, that is how the government screws you on cases like this. They only have to get you on one charge (and have unlimited resources to throw at it), you have to win it all to come out bloodied and with hundreds of thousands of dollars of fees. I hope Manafort has some decent appeal arguments (but unfortunately that depends on which appeal judges he draws)--welcome to the Deep State.
The point, exactly.
A lot of this goes bye-bye on appeal.
