First, the old adages “Too cute by half” and “Be careful what you wish for …” apparently were totally foreign to felon-in-waiting Paul Manafort and his team of “legal beagles”.
For weeks they endlessly whined to U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis that having Manafort jailed (as a VIP) in a facility two hours south of Washington was impeding their ability to defend their client – to the point they wanted his trial delayed.
But the wise Judge solved the problem by moving Manafort from the plush Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw (Virginia – not Poland) …
To the much closer Truesdale Adult Detention Center in Alexandria
OOPS! Manafort’s “legal beagles” realized their bigly error and begged the Judge to stop the move because of concern for Manafort’s safety. But Judge Ellis would have none of it, assuring them that officials at the federal lockup in Alexandria have experience handling inmates such as “foreign and domestic terrorists, spies and traitors.”
But it truly is a step down from his other homes, like his condo that the FBI raided last August, and where he was able to stay under house arrest until he got caught tampering with witnesses.
(Judge Ellis is handling the Virginia case against Manafort, where he faces charges of bank fraud, tax evasions and failure to report foreign bank accounts. But Manafort also faces additional charges in Washington for money laundering, failing to register as a foreign agent and witness tampering.)
Poor, poor Paulie … it’s a shame you are THAT STUPID!
But on an even brighter note is the great success the folks of the UK, and their snarling baby blimp, had in making Twitler feel – in his very own words – “UNWELCOMED”!
After his fiasco performance flop at the NATO conference …
(I will say one thing for Twitler, he does “CLUELESS” even better than Dubya did. And no, that picture is NOT Photoshopped.)
He went to visit Prime Minister May in London. Here he is arriving on Air Force One
The highlight for us – and the lowlight for him – was that snarling, diapered baby blimp in bright orange with his trademark white tanning goggle marks.
So Twitler decided to hightail it out of London to the Prime Minister’s country home, Chequers. But his helicopter was forced to fly directly over a Moat Farm field in Stoke Mandeville with a 650-foot wide … hmmm, errr … greeting … in Russian that’s loosely translates as “FUCK TRUMP”!
(The word in Cyrillic script literally means “whore” – but is commonly used for the “F Word”. A marketing agency, The Tenth Man, came forward on Thursday to take credit for the prank with the help of artists from Circlemakers. They reported the circle took over two weeks to design and over 12 hours for a crew to create.)
So THIS is what being well-respected around the world looks like. Now aren’t you glad Trump was elected to make America so well-respected by our Allies? </snark>

So much good news. Plus twelve more indictments (all Russians, but indictments of Russians are going to be needed to make the whole case.) Thanks, Nameless! Calloo Callay!

(Callooh Callay is also a pub in London – maybe you were referring to it rather than the poem)
Either works nicely. Last month when I was recovering from the laryngitis I had in May, I found that reciting (all of) Jabberwocky out loud was just right to help me cough just productively enough to stabilize the voice. So it was fresh in my mind.
Way cool, Nameless! It could not be happening to viler sphincter!
Excellent coverage of Manafort’s comeuppance and of the extraordinary amount of creative protest against Drumpf, Nameless.
More than a thousand in middle-of-nowhere Blenheim and thousands more in London, making it very clear that they are very aware how Drumpf cronies meddled in their Brexit referendum and that Drumpf is still trying to do so, however clumsy it turns out. No, Mr. Drumpf, the British don’t like you; they hate your guts.
Blenheim? Yeah, I guess it is middle of nowhere, but the power of poetry is such that I choke up at the name.
Aussie news estimated the number of protesters in between 100,000 and 200,000 and from the photo’s that’s easy to believe.
Drumpf believed that the large scale protests in London and other cities on Friday “did not reflect the genuine good manners and hospitality of the British people”.
Ha, believe what you will, Drumpf, we Europeans hate your guts. It’s up to Americans to show how much they hate your guts too in November.
My, my !!! The pictures are great! Manafort should have kept his mouth shut about his shenanigans. Justice served !! I’m sure that the prison guards will take good care of him.
Love how the UK outperformed themselves in greeting the ID. The picture of the moat is fantastic!!
Read this morning, that the dt blimp will be at Turnberry Scotland to greet him as well. Thanks to the UK, and nations beyond, for protesting him. Makes my heart sing!! 😉
Thanks, Nameless, for post, and Joanne for cross-posting.
