Do you know who any of the guys in this Broke Straight Boys ad are? I am particularly interested in the muscular ginger guy (second from the left).

Would it be possible to get a New Year's freeleech of this torrent?

Wonderful news! This shows how both men and women benefit from feminism.  :hug:

The fact that he is still welcome in Republican circles is yet more evidence that  conservatives think political correctness should only be enforced on liberals like Kathy Griffin.

@beast775:

Once signed, the next step in the ratification process is to send the treaty to the US Senate

The Paris Agreement's authority derives from the [desc=United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]UNFCCC[/desc] treaty which the Senate ratified 25 years ago.

@mhorndisk:

Time to celebrate!!!

You're a little early to the party. The withdrawal from the Agreement doesn't take effect until November, 2020.

Just in time for the new administration to stop the withdrawal.

Feminism is merely the belief that women and men are equal. I wouldn't compare it to using public money to religiously indoctrinate children, which is what DeVos supports.

Trump only talks about LGBT people when he needs to exploit our deaths for votes. Remember when he crowed about the Orlando massacre?

The warring factions of Donald Trump’s White House are going all out, The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza reports.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reportedly tried (unsuccessfully) to wield their power and influence over the president by convincing him to stay in the Paris climate agreement. With Trump’s decision on Thursday to withdraw from that agreement, it’s clear chief White House strategist Steve Bannon—who urged the president to break the Obama-era pledge—is back in the president’s good graces.

The shift comes after months of a rumored shakeup” among top Trump staffers (as one Trump adviser said, “It’s easier to understand the papal elections than to understand these f*cking nut cases”). In April, Trump declined to say whether he has “full confidence” in Bannon.

“I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late,” Trump told the New York Post.

“I had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and I didn’t know Steve,” he continued. “I’m my own strategist and it wasn’t like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary [Clinton].”

That public statement was widely viewed as condemnation of Bannon. But as Lizza reports, Trump’s chief adviser—who appeals to the president’s nationalistic, anti-government sensibilities—is back on top.

“Imagine you have a seventy-something-year-old very strong personality in the family,” a Republican source explained to Lizza. “And he’s got his golfing buddy who is his best friend. And they go off golfing and drinking and smoking cigars. What he really wants to do is smoke cigars. But the family is telling him, ‘Smoking cigars is really bad for you and the doctor told you not to do it.’ He’s, like, ‘I know, I know.’ ”

“So when he’s around his family, he’s, like, ‘Look, I’m not smoking cigars!’ And then he goes off with his golf buddy,” the source continued. “And guess what they do? They f*cking light up cigars, because that’s actually who he is and what he thinks. And Bannon is like his golfing buddy that he goes and smokes cigars with. That’s actually who he is.”

Kushner and Ivanka Trump, meanwhile, “are concerned with being accepted in the right places, they care about what the beautiful people think,” one source told Liza.

“They care about being well received in the Upper West Side cocktail parties,” the source continued. “They view Steve as a man with dirty fingernails, with some weird, crazy, extremist philosophy they don’t think is in the best interest of the President. With all respect to them, they don’t understand how Trump got elected. They don’t understand the forces behind it, they don’t understand the dynamics of the situation, and they certainly don’t understand his appeal and the people who voted for him—they can’t understand it.”

Kushner and Ivanka are “more or less Trump’s conscience” and would like to see the president “to be more like George Bush: one-dimensional, predictable, neocon, mainstream.” Bannon, meanwhile, is described as the president’s “id.”

But as tensions climb between the two sides, a Republican close to the White House shot down the idea that Bannon’s job was ever in jeopardy.

“Everyone is saying, ‘Oh, there’s been a shift, Bannon is on his way out,’” a Republican told Lizza. “No, he’s not. Bannon is still there. And he’s still the main adviser to the President of the United States.”

The law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign has identified a current White House official as a significant person of interest, showing that the probe is reaching into the highest levels of government, according to people familiar with the matter.

The senior White House adviser under scrutiny by investigators is someone close to the president, according to these people, who would not further identify the official.

The revelation comes as the investigation also appears to be entering a more overtly active phase, with investigators shifting from work that has remained largely hidden from the public to conducting interviews and using a grand jury to issue subpoenas. The intensity of the probe is expected to accelerate in the coming weeks, the people said.

The sources emphasized that investigators remain keenly interested in people who previously wielded influence in the Trump campaign and administration but are no longer part of it, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Flynn resigned in February after disclosures that he had lied to administration officials about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Current administration officials who have acknowledged contacts with Russian officials include Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, as well as Cabinet members Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Earlier this week, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III to serve as special counsel and lead the investigation into Russian meddling. It is unclear exactly how Mueller’s leadership will affect the direction of the probe, and he is already bringing in new people to work on the team. Those familiar with the case said its significance had increased before Mueller’s appointment.

While the case began quietly last July as an effort to determine whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian operatives to meddle in the presidential election campaign, the investigative work now being done by the FBI also includes determining whether any financial crimes were committed by people close to the president. The people familiar with the matter said the probe has sharpened into something more fraught for the White House, the FBI and the Justice Department — particularly because of the public steps investigators know they now need to take, the people said.

When subpoenas are issued or interviews are requested, it is possible the people being asked to talk or provide documents will reveal publicly what they were asked about.

A small group of lawmakers known as the Gang of Eight were notified of the change in tempo and focus in the investigation at a classified briefing on Wednesday evening, the people familiar with the matter said. FBI Director James Comey had publicly confirmed the existence of the investigation in March.

Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said, “I can’t confirm or deny the existence or non-existence of investigations or targets of investigations.” An FBI spokesman declined to comment.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said, “as the president has stated before, a thorough investigation will confirm that there was no collusion between the campaign and any foreign entity.’’

While there has been a loud public debate in recent days over the question of whether the president might have attempted to obstruct justice in his private dealings with FBI Director James Comey, who Trump fired last week, people familiar with the matter said investigators on the case are more focused on Russian influence operations and possible financial crimes.

The FBI’s investigation seeks to determine whether and to what extent Trump associates were in contact with Kremlin operatives, what business dealings they might have had in Russia, and whether they in any way facilitated the hacking and publishing of Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails during the presidential campaign. Several congressional committees are also investigating, though their probes could not produce criminal charges.

A grand jury in Alexandria, Va. recently issued a subpoena for records related to Flynn’s business, The Flynn Intel Group, which had been paid more than $500,000 by a company owned by a Turkish American businessman close to top Turkish officials, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Flynn Intel Group was paid for research on Fethullah Gulen, a cleric who Turkey’s current president believes was responsible for a coup attempt last summer. Flynn retroactively registered with the Justice Department in March as a paid foreign agent for Turkish interests.

Separately from the probe now run by Mueller, Flynn is being investigated by the Pentagon’s top watchdog for his foreign payments. Flynn also received $45,000 to appear in 2015 with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a dinner for RT, a Kremlin-controlled media organization.
Flynn discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with Russia’s ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, and he withheld that fact from even the Vice President. That prompted then Acting Attorney General Sally Yates to warn the White House’s top lawyer he might be susceptible to blackmail. Flynn stepped down after The Washington Post reported on the contents of the call.
The president has nonetheless seemed to defend his former adviser. A memo by fired FBI Director Comey alleged Trump even asked that the probe into Flynn be shut down.

The White House also has acknowledged that Kushner met with Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the U.S., in late November. Kushner also has acknowledged that he met with the head of a Russian development bank, Vnesheconombank, which has been under U.S. sanctions since July 2014. The president’s son in law initially omitted contacts with foreign leaders from a national security questionnaire, though his lawyer has said publicly he submitted the form prematurely and informed the FBI soon after he would provide an update.

Vnesheconombank handles development for the state, and in early 2015, a man purporting to be one of its New York-based employees was arrested and accused of being an unregistered spy.

That man – Evgeny Buryakov – ultimately pleaded guilty and was eventually deported. He had been in contact with former Trump adviser Carter Page, though Page has said he shared only “basic immaterial information and publicly available research documents” with the Russian. Page was the subject of a secret warrant last year issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, based on suspicions he might have been acting as an agent of the Russian government, according to people familiar with the matter. Page has denied any wrongdoing, and accused the government of violating his civil rights.

I don't even like Clinton or Obama but the Trumpsfans' frequent references to them are tiring. Neither of them are in power anymore. The scandals which are unraveling before our eyes are of Trump's own doing. He will either be removed from office or resign, adding one more failure to a long list.

It's interesting that even after the departure of Flynn, Trump stills seems to be beholden to the Turkish dictator. He still hasn't said a word about Erdogan's thugs beating up Americans in DC.

If he was joking why would he "swear to God" and ask his cronies to keep what he said secret? Evidently Republicans are comfortable with having a treasonous president.

Trump must be removed from office for the sake of our economy, safety, and society.

Maxine Waters is a brilliant and courageous congresswoman.  I'm proud of her.

I am afraid that the Trump administration will the give the names of these gay asylum-seekers to the Russian government.

@Frederick:

I don't suppose that Hillary instructing some private company with no security clearance to access and delete at least 30,000 e-mails, which were property of the U.S. government, AFTER being ordered by Congress to turn them over, is obstruction of justice? nooo….

Happily, Hillary Clinton is not in power and will likely never get close to the presidency again.

Unhappily, we have an incompetent, mentally impaired rapist in the White House who is jeopardizing the safety of the country and our allies.

I don't think he will last the year. Either Trump will resign or the 25th Amendment will be invoked and Trump will be declared incompetent. It's alarming that our own president is putting out national security and the security of our allies at risk but I don't think House Republicans have the courage to stand up to Trump's fanbase.

Erstwhile staunch Donald Trump booster Ann Coulter has called the president “grotesque” and disappointing as she appeared poised to bail on him even before The Washington Post reported Monday that he leaked classified information to the Russians. “Everyone who voted for him knew his personality was grotesque,” but it was the issues, the conservative commentator and author told The Daily Caller in an interview Sunday. Now, as far as the issues go, “boy, things don’t look good,” she said. “I’m not very happy with what has happened so far,” Coulter added. “I guess we have to try to push him to keep his promises. But … if he doesn’t keep his promises I’m out.”

It looks like now even the rats are jumping ship.

Gustavo Carrera, the Argentinian bodybuilder, did a solo video for Powermen about 10 years ago. Does anyone have it?
