One of the reasons I don't believe in God is that AFAIK no proponents of "prosperity theology" have ever been blasted by a bolt of fire from heaven or afflicted with scorpions.
Given his huge support amongst (EDIT: white) evangelicals, he could always start a new career as a TV preacher if nothing else looked like working.
Exorcising Hilary-spirits; laying on of tiny hands; selling branded holy water; customized anti-shark prayers; joint live appearances with the Russian Orthodox primate; premium Mar-A-Lago indulgence packages. Ivanka & Jared would look cute in matching choir-girl/boy outfits.

The best summary I've seen so far.
He's going to keep pushing to see what he can get away with.
It's a game. God knows where it ends up.
I think Maggie Haberman has it right:
Trump has always seen what he can get away with, and when there are no lasting consequences, he presses on further. Right now, he’s testing what Hill Rs will let him get away with re Mueller. And so far there’s silence from leadership.

All these crappy fringe-dwellers ...

It is disgusting.
You'd hope that this blatant undermining of ... well, everything, will open lots of eyes; but I think there's still an astonishing number of people who will continue to see it as swamp-draining.
Even with Hannity on board as SoS, the Democrats will take the 2020 presidential on a wave if they can recruit this guy to run:

A great story.

Of course you wouldn't believe anything he says without lots of corroboration.
Noticed that the other day. Interesting how many senior military types get caught up in stock scams.
This is the Mafia stock manipulation thing Sater was involved with: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB952028094177164600
A better electoral campaign strategy probably helped as well.
Just catching up with the essential Stormy Daniels story. This interview with her no doubt very well known by Trump scandal followers http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/stormy-daniels-full-interview-151788 but there's one snippet which rings absolutely true:
He kept showing me he was on the cover of a magazine that had just come out and it was some sort of money magazine, I wish I could remember which one it was. But he had it in the room and he kept showing it to me and I was like, “Dude, I know who you are.” He was trying to sell me, I guess. The first time I met him, the first couple of hours, he was very full of himself, like he was trying to impress me or something. But I do remember he just kept talking about this magazine that he was on the cover of, like, “Look at this magazine, don’t I look great on the cover?”
And of course the shark thing:
The strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever. You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history. He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks. He was like, “I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.” He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know.
Is this supposed to be like something out of a '50s movie? "Why don't you little ladies go powder your noses?"
Yes. But you missed: "Here's $20 pin money."
On-Line Plc is the biggest shareholder of ADVFN and is apparently the entity which developed PlusOne & where cunning plans for the future are being hatched. Clem is a major shareholder & director.
Below, what they say about it. Elsewhere (can't find it now) they speak of the glittering "content monitisation [sic]" opportunities ahead; no specifics.
It's good to see that they value IHUB's large, mature subscriber base; all too often old fat people are a neglected demographic.
Whatever's next, it's going to be hard to beat the concept of getting people to pay for upvoting posts, for sheer cunningness.
https://www.onlineblockchain.io/
We are pleased to announce that following successful testing within the ADVFN community we are now able to offer all of ADVFN's customers and members a PlusOneCoin wallet. This is the first part of our crypto currency project with ADVFN PLC.
This new addition to ADVFN will allow its customers to deposit PlusOneCoin at ADVFN from the blockchain. They will then, in due course, be able to purchase social media items and functionality and products on the site using PlusOneCoin. PlusOneCoin can be transferred in and out of ADVFN like any other cryptocurrency.
PlusOneCoin is a social media cryptocurrency which will allow social media users to interact and up vote content of other social media users using the PlusOneCoin cryptocurrency.
The Online supported PlusOneCoin wallet brings PlusOneCoin onto the ADVFN platform, facilitates and introduces its large mature user base to cryptocurrency, blockchain mining and other aspects of this emergent sector. It provides ADVFN users an educational platform to learn about Cryptocurrencies, increased functionality on the ADVFN site as well as the potential of new products.
For ADVFN it creates a larger, broader audience for its cryptocurrency information platform and presents additional potential revenue and business development prospects.
Nice for the owners of/workers at Zizzi and The Mill.

Use of funds: Replace Wall Street; maybe buy some lithium & guns.

"You bored your father"
State Sen. Kelli Stargel (R) argued that banning assault weapons could be a slippery slope. Would fertilizer, used in the 1995 bombing of an Oklahoma City federal building, be banned? Or pressure cookers, used in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings?
Stargel is an idiot. We've been sliding down that slope for years, ever since they said we couldn't own one of these:

Somebody with time to spare might find it interesting to dig into pennyscam stuff related to him & his associates, including Ron Lubash. Eg: https://www.leaprate.com/news/binary-options-broker-eztrader-raises-first-3m-of-11m-yorkville-advisors-commitment/

Disappointing.

at best, it's usually poor taste to laugh at insane people, but he was also a scammer so I think in his case it's OK.
He's on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/worlds-trillionaire-alex-s-gabor/
He anticipated BitCoin by over a dozen years, he's still crazy & he still has good paragraphing skills.
Also, his modelling predicts that the value of BitCoin will double every month forever, so I'd say he's bullish on crypto. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gabors-law-bitcoin-alex-s-gabor/
I would really like to hear Gabor Acs' take on crypto.
I don't get it. Why am I going to spend anything on upvoting somebody's posts?
I just give all mine to Paulie because it will induce him to support me in my dotage. But that's special.
Must have done something to piss Trump off. Demote him from Most Important Pilot in the World to some dead-end government job.
Here you go - 0.02 clemducats I found down the back of the couch.
The "Hapsburg Group" mentioned in the new indictments ... the leader seems to have been former Austrian Chancellor, Alfred Gusenbauer (which I hope means "goose farmer").
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/24/world/europe/manafort-gusenbauer-hapsburg-ukraine-indictment.html
Gusenbauer is buddies with Martin Schlaff, the owner of pennyplayer Alpha Capital, associate of LH Financial, the old BAWAG/Refco stuff, richest guy in Austria, ex-Agent Landgraff for the STASI. heavily implicated in the looting of STASI foreign-ops slush-funds after the fall of the Wall, major politico-business player in eastern Europe/the Balkans/Israel and all sorts of other fascinating stuff.
It would be too good if Schlaff is caught up in the Mueller investigations, but then again he's probably too smart to deal with a flake like Manafort.
In Italy, a tuxedo is for some reason called "smoking".
Lots of European countries, it seems. Somehow seems to have derived from "smoking jacket". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Smoking
Given that they are now luxury items, I'm thinking of getting one to wear while smoking my $2 per piece cigarettes.
tax the snot out of guns
Why not? In practical terms, may or may not be easier than just banning them. But a big tax could help fund a buyback program and other elements of a portfolio of measures.
You have no idea. In Oz, cigs are AUD 30+ per pack now, equiv to USD 20+ ...
I know, right?
For a moment I thought somebody had tagged him with his IQ (ha ha).
I caught the last bit, where she started to get into the status of automatic weapons technology in the late 18th century. Hot!
Then they cut things off and go to the lame poem and song, which would have driven me batshit if I'd been one of the students or parents.
No. That's kind of the reason why numbers were invented.
Eg: I counted and 92.5% of the rest of the world is laughing at US morons proposing that a good solution would be to arm teachers. Rather than banning most gun ownership. And maybe putting in professional security at schools while that gets done, ideally funded by gun manufacturers.
You would have seen it, but this still makes me laugh a lot:
