Manafort and Gates are in deep ****:

Quote:

In the 37-page indictment, prosecutors describe a "scheme" in which the two longtime business partners allegedly laundered $30 million, failed to pay taxes for almost 10 years and used real estate they owned to fraudulently secure more than $20 million in loans.

Manafort is 68, and if convicted, would die in prison.

Trump is sweating bullets........

You know in Raising Arizona how when everyone looks at they baby they say "ah he's gonna be a criminal, just look at the twinkle in his eye." That baby was Paul Manafort. To say nothing of the actual indictment, I seriously cannot think of a more criminal looking/acting/smelling human.

They will be prosecuted leniently for all the good theyve done otherwise.

NRA uses a Parks and Recreations gif of Leslie Knope to thank their spokesperson after the CNN Town Hall.

"Within an hour, Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur responded to the NRA, writing, "Hi, please take this down. I would prefer you not to use a GIF from a show I worked on to promote your pro-slaughter agenda." He also spoke on behalf of Amy Poehler – who portrayed Knope – writing, "Also, Amy isn't on Twitter, but she texted me a message: 'Can you tweet the NRA for me and tell them I said **** off?'"

"Adam Scott, who played Ben Wyatt, tweeted, "Hey nra please stay the **** away from Leslie Knope." And Nick Offerman, who played lovable libertarian Ron Swanson, told the NRA and Loesch, "Our good-hearted show and especially our Leslie Knope represent the opposite of your pro-slaughter agenda – take it down and also please eat ****." Aubrey Plaza then piggy-backed off Offerman's tweet, sharing a GIF of her own character, April Ludgate, quipping, "Burn."
