George Papadopoulos Gets 14 days In Prison

14 DAYS? That's it? I thought CNN screamed
for weeks this was a bombshell case. FOX
just played a montage of MS and CNN
screaming BOMBSHELL when the news
of Papadopoulos first broke. They were
excited, spittle was flying everywhere.

He gets 14 days for a process crime, move
on, nothing to see here. LOLOLOLOLOL

Who knows what they said to each other but the police office kills the black man in his own apartment
Dallas cop faces manslaughter charge

She exited elevator on the wrong floor, was unable to open the lock with her key but her attempts to do so attracted the attention of the lawful tenant who opened the door whereupon she promptly entered "her" home and shot him, failing to realize the reason her key was not working in the lock.

Houston police at first proceeded as if it were an officer involved shooting but soon turned the case over to the Texas Rangers. Police union contract does not require officer to give statement at the scene or prior to talking to her union representative and attorney. Blood sample was taken for alcohol and drug testing.

Texas Rangers formally asked Houston police chief that the warrant for manslaughter charges be delayed.

Australian model in Greece who had repeatedly expressed excitement about meeting her family and continuing her travels said to have become despondent for unknown reason and killed herself . . . .
Ships crew and family members each less than fully candid. Crew did not mention a recent five person party at local bar, her crying after returning to the ship, her speaking to a security guard, her tearful calls to her family about 'an incident with a crew member', all of which are suggestive of a possible date rape incident.
"Hanging" was used but a more precise term might be fouled in ropes that appeared to have ensnared her neck with no indications of voluntary action.

Family's use of terms such as "incident" and "fellow crew member" appear to be foolishly vague.

Differing allegations of her intended post-contract behavior that was contemplated for the next few days.

Sure. People want to replace that which they were forced to publicly burn.

Stock prices are the slaves of earning power and are only temporarily affected by other factors.

I waited on posting this Trump quote, all I had to say on it were opinions on why I thought Trump was wrong.

Well, ford has already responded, so without further ado:

Trump: “Ford has abruptly killed a plan to sell a Chinese-made small vehicle in the U.S. because of the prospect of higher U.S. Tariffs.” CNBC. This is just the beginning. This car can now be BUILT IN THE U.S.A. and Ford will pay no tariffs!

Ford: "It would not be profitable to build the Focus Active in the U.S. given an expected annual sales volume of fewer than 50,000 units."

Ford has decided they cannot sell cars so let Honda sell made in USA cars they can somehow sell at a profit.
