Sean Hannity used Fixer Michael Cohen

Now we know why Fox "News'" Sean Hannity was so vociferous in defending conservative President Donald Trump over the search of his lawyer Michael Cohen's residences. That's because Sean Hannity was also a client of Michael Cohen aka The Fixer aka Consigliere. Hey conservatives when you were watching Hannity, did you know your guy was not just defending Trump but his own interests? Maybe Hannity can do one of those charts linking all the crooks he sees with Special Counsel Robert Mueller to one of himself. He can link himself to Cohen to Trump. Here's Trevor Noah of The Daily Show having fun with it. And remember my friends, vote liberal Democrat if you want to live.

SNL: De Niro and Stiller as Robert Muller and Michael Cohen

On the cold open of yesterday's Saturday Night Live, Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller lampoon their movie Meet the Parents (2000) but as Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen. Hilarious stuff. Check out the video below.

The Winds of Revolution

Conservative Republican President Trump has signaled to his crooked friends that he's ready to pardon them by pardoning Scooter Libby. He was convicted for perjury and obstruction of justice in 2007 by a special counsel. The message is clear. If you're being prosecuted for any Trump corruption by special prosecutor Robert Mueller or the Justice Department, Trump has got your back. CNN. I predict that Trump will use the pardon to save his son Donald Jr. his son-in-law, Jared Kushner and probably his personal lawyer Michael Cohen. There's also a story that he's going to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who is overseeing Mueller.

The firing of Rosenstein which would clearly indicated that Trump is obstructing the investigation of the multiple scandals would be a triggering event for mass protests. Groups from the American Federation of Teachers to MoveOn.org are gearing up for protests. Huffington Post. My fellow Americans, the time is soon upon us. The revolution is here and I'm talking about peaceful revolution. The goal for this year is to flip not just the House of Representatives but also the Senate. That will put checks on the fascist in the White House. The only game in town is to vote liberal Democrat. Vote liberal Democrat if you want to live.

When Trump either fires Rosenstein, Mueller or pardons any of his cronies, here's what we must do.

1.) Contact your congressman and or Senator. And I mean the Republican one . Why? The Democrat will protect our country. But the conservative Republicans only care about power. However, they will respond to political pressure. if there are pardons, or if Rosenstein is fired, demand they pass laws to protect Mueller. Continue the investigation into Trump corruption. Impeach Trump.
2) Hit the streets, join the fight on the internet. There are groups listed in the Huffington Post article ready to fight.

And learn the song, "Do You Hear the People Sing?" I know the Trump campaign used this song two years ago. It's not their song. Trust me, it's about the Paris Uprising of 1832. It's the song of the people who yearn for justice, and freedom. It's the song of the poor and the working man. My fellow Americans, we will not be slaves to Russia.

Colbert on fire: Trump is unhinged again

Last night, Stephen Colbert on The Late Show delivered a riotous monologue on conservative President Trump's unhinged responses to his attorney's residences being searched and the Syrian gas attack. Enjoy the video below because these are dark days. We need a laugh.

Tomb Raider review

Yeah, you've heard this before, movies based on video games are usually bad. Will the new Tomb Raider loosely based on the 2013 action-adventure game of the same name fare any better? Well, I've played the 2013 game. So, I have a unique view of this movie.

Tomb Raider starts out by showing us that Lara Croft (Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander) is living the life of a pauper and shunning her earlier life of wealth as daughter of Richard Croft. (Dominic West) He's gone missing and the Croft business wants him declared dead so she can inherit the estate. When she eventually decides to agree to declare him dead, she discovers that he went missing searching for the mystery of Himiko, an ancient emperess of Japan. She finds out that he left Hong Kong for the island of Yamatai. Lara goes to Hong Kong and hires Lu Ren (Daniel Wu) to take her to the island which is located in the south pacific in the Devil's Triangle.

This movie has a bunch of problems. The first is the script. There's no need for the story to waste time on the plot thread about Lara's life as a poor person. That takes about ten to fifteen minutes of them movie. It's a drag on the film from the beginning. Add to that the needless theft and chase scene in Hong Kong and the audience is going to struggle to stay with the movie when it gets better. That occurs when Lara finally gets to a tomb. And I don't appreciate the fact that she's uneducated. I would have preferred her as a young archaeologist. It would have made the movie more believable when she solves some of the tomb's puzzles. Then there are way too many dark scenes. Yeah, I get it. We're in a tomb but this is a movie. Light it better so the audience gets a better idea of what is going on.

I've stated above that I've played the 2013 game. The game is better. Why? Because playing Lara on the island of Yamatai allows you to explore. It's big, open and at times beautiful island filled with tombs, jungles, waterfalls, and mountains. I didn't get that from this movie which felt like a cheap action picture.

Tomb Raider follows the consistent trend that movies based on video games usually stink. It's not terrible but not good either. Wait for this movie to hit your cable service. No need to rent it. The grade is C Plus.

Conservative President Trump: I am America

Yesterday, Republican President Donald Trump ranted against the searches by the FBI of Michael Cohen. He's Trump's personal lawyer and aka as Trump's fixer. I would also note that Cohen is also Trump's consigliere or his Mafia adviser. In front of leaders of our military, Trump said such searches were "an attack against our country." New York Magazine. Since Cohen probably has the dirt on Trump, I surmise that Trump's worried. This comment seems that Trump is equating himself to America.

One thing I have to say to Trump. You are not America. This country is a nation of three hundred twenty million souls pursing happiness and living under the Constitution of the United States. Trump, you are the face of conservative Republicans. You are also a greedy, narcissistic, fascist.

Here's Rachel Maddow's piece on yesterday's searches. Note to you right-wing nuts. The searches were done by the New York section of the Justice Department. It was a referral from Special Counsel Mueller's office. He did not conduct it. And quick lesson in law here, my right-wing nut friends. Law enforcement may prosecute for illegal things they discover in the course of a lawful investigation. It's called the "plain view" doctrine. The video below details what the FBI did to get the warrant on a lawyer. It's extensive. And the attorney client privilege is not absolute. There's a crime-fraud exception.

The face of conservative Republican corruption: Scott Pruitt

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has wasted millions of tax dollars from staying at the wife of a lobbyist's condominium to spending for a 24 hour security detail to huge raises for his political staffers to staffer Samantha Dravis who did no work and got paid for three months to a government paid layover in Paris to lobbying Morocco to import liquid natural gas which has nothing to do with the Environmental Protection Agency. There's more but the sentence was getting ridiculously long. And yet, conservative President Trump supports him. ABC News. Yeah, you blond hair, orange skin fascist, that's drain the swamp.

Here's Rachel Maddow's great story detailing Pruitt's corruption. Vote liberal Democrat if you want to live.
