Leading Haruspex Certain of Democratic Victory



Britain’s leading haruspex, Mathghamhain son of Arthmael has successfully predicted the date of 29 of the last 30 solstices by inspecting the entrails of animals.

Upon recently vivisecting the liver of a donkey, he observed a thick black bile. “Normally, that would not bode well for them, but with mercury in retrograde, well, you can just see how this portends a Democratic wave election.”

Stark Proof That Trump Has No Real Estate Sense


Think about this.

If we buy Denmark, then we get Greenland for free.

We can buy Denmark, subdivide out Greenland, sell Denmark to the British so they'll have an EU territory, and end up with Greenland AND cash in our pocket!

What a moron that man is.

Attention Undecideds - there are now 4,593 candidates for president


https://www.fec.gov/data/candidates/?office=P

Out of those 4,593, there are 961 who are Democrats (you can pick a filter on the left of the list).

Now, c'mon, out of 961 candidates, there has to be one who is a good fit for you.

Surely, MR. FREDERICK CAMIGLA NETTLETON, SENIOR has to light a fire under someone.

Or how about RAY MADRIGAL DE PANCHO VILLA?

Certainly we have a better field of candidates than, say, the Communist Party, which is fielding Lord Hugh Mungus among others.

Former IRS analyst pleads guilty to leaking Michael Cohen's bank records to Michael Avenatti


https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/15/politics/irs-analyst-pleads-guilty-michael-cohen-bank-records/index.html

Fry faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the Justice Department. US District Judge Edward M. Chen scheduled Fry's sentencing for December 18, 2019.

The former analyst admitted to accessing a private government database from his work computer on May 4, 2018, and downloading five suspicious activity reports, or SARs, related to Michael Cohen and his company Essential Consultants, authorities say. Banks file a SAR when they review transactions that raise red flags.

Fry, who admitted he had no official reason to disclose the records, then called Avenatti twice from his personal cell phone and verbally provided information about the contents of the reports, according to the Justice Department. Fry also sent email screenshots of the reports to Avenatti from a personal email account.

Days later, on May 7, 2018, authorities say Fry conducted additional searches on Cohen and his company on the database and called Avenatti and again verbally provided his findings to him.

Yet another Avenatti roadkill left hanging.

This guy threw his life away, so that Michael Avenatti could strut and preen on TV.

The Pioneering Woman Of Science Whom DUers Are Going To Attack And Smear

The Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York is no small-potatoes job. As one might imagine, it requires a person of the highest qualifications and integrity.

Dr. Barbara Sampson, the woman on the far right of the photograph below, was appointed in 2014 by Mayor Bill de Blasio, and is the first woman to occupy that office.





Dr. Sampson is also a trustee of the American Board of Pathology.

A native of New York City, Dr. Sampson earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, obtained her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at Rockefeller University, and received her degree in medicine at Cornell University Medical College, followed by a residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

She brings years of experience to her role as Chief Medical Examiner, having served as Acting Chief Medical Examiner, First Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, Senior Medical Examiner, and Cardiovascular Pathology Consultant, among other positions at OCME since 1998.

She serves as President of the Society of Cardiovascular Pathology, the Vice-Chairman of the Residency Review Committee for Pathology of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and is a member of the National Association of Medical Examiners, the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.

Dr. Sampson has published widely on forensic pathology and microbiology, including 29 articles and 4 book chapters, and serves as an Associate Editor of the journal Cardiovascular Pathology. She is the recipient of the Young Investigator Award from the Society of Cardiovascular Pathology and the E.R. Squibb and Sons Senior Thesis Prize for Contribution to Scientific Research. Dr. Sampson is board certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology and Forensic Pathology and is participating in Maintenance of Certification.

Go ahead and smear her your best, DU. What sum of money do you suppose she decided to cash in a lifetime of integrity for? Post how much you think it took.

Tell me how much it takes to buy off a leading woman scientist, who was educated and came up through the ranks when science was a much more male-dominated profession, and who no doubt was discouraged by men every step of the way, in order to cover up the crimes of a man who was credibly accused of molesting girls.

I want to know what you have to do to get a woman to trade in her integrity for a job like that, so please let me know how much money you think it takes.

And, shame on you.

On edit: I have been advised to clarify that "DUers" means "persons who post to DU". It does not mean "all DUers", just as references to, for example, "white people" do not always mean "all white people". Given that I am also a DUer, one might think the meaning of the phrase was clear, but apparently not. If the comment does not apply to you, then have a great day!

Michael Avenatti is mulling a run for president again after declaring he would not seek nomination

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/03/michael-avenatti-is-mulling-a-2020-run-for-president-again.html

As he’s watched the almost two dozen candidates square off in the primary debates, Avenatti says he continues to believe Democrats don’t have the fighter that can take on Trump come the general election and suggested he could be the candidate to beat him.

...

“I don’t think I need to make a final decision for a number of months. I have the name ID and everyone knows I’m one of the few effective fighters that the Dems have,” he said.

Now I know what the undecideds are holding out for!

Is there a D candidate roundup on Jeffrey Epstein?


Which candidates are going to fall for the “official story” that Epstein is dead and/or dead as a result of suicide?

Obviously, it will be a powerful campaign position that Trump had Epstein killed in order to cover up child rape, so which D candidates do you think are going to run with that?

Remember when putting Chelsea Manning on suicide watch was "torture"


Anyone else old enough to remember that the worst thing you can do to someone who has shown a tendency or interest in suicide, is to put them on suicide watch?
