Michael Cohen disavows parts of guilty plea in recorded phone call with Tom Arnold: report
Submitted by Amanda Matthews on Wed, 04/24/2019 - 2:55pmHahahaha!i’m laughing my ass off. So Mueller got this clown to plead guilty to crap he didn’t do?? How? Maybe holding a ‘deal’ in front of his crooked nose? Threatening more severe charges if he didn’t? How, exactly, did this work?? And I know Roseanne’s ex is a buddy of Cohen’s, but as far as an ‘advocate’ for his cause goes, Cohen surely could find a better, more believable person who isn’t regarded as a absolute buffoon. But then again, stranger things have happened.

Judge OKs bankrupt PG&E's plan for $235 million in bonuses

Sadly, more questions than answers as regards the probabilities, possibilities, and unknowns are epically confusing to me, as they may be to you. Noting that process stories suck, allow me to proceed. I’d been searching for Julian’s status within Belmarsh UK Gitmo prison (above), checking what seemed to be the relevant Twitter accounts when I’d come up on this Tweet from Ariel: on Julian’s mama’s account:
“Has the UN @UN been discussing his case? After 2 weeks he is still not allowed visitors, including his lawyers!! His doctors said he is in urgent need of medical care… We must protect his human rights. WE MUST ACT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.”, replying to Christine Assange, but the apparent parent Tweet wasn’t on mama’s account, what in the world?

The real question is who the ruling elite want our political figurehead to be.
There are several ways to measure this.

Saint George's Day - April 23
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Tue, 04/23/2019 - 8:00am
Today is Saint George's Day, at least in England. He is probably best known for snuffing a dragon. As a child, I always heard and saw references to "Saint George and THE Dragon", leaving me to wonder if he slaughtered the last dragon, but I suspect that this is just a quirk of the English Language.

Buon Giorno!
Welcome to the Foodie Edition! Today we are going to take a culinary romp through the kitchens of Italy. So get ready to bite into the flavors of Tuscany with a roasted chicken that is so juicy you'll need a bib to eat it! Then, we'll head to the Amalfi coast where the seafood comes from the fishing boat to your plate! Molto buonissimo! Finally, back here in the States, an indulgent trip to my Mother's kitchen for a bowl of chicken soup and the comforts of home.
