Sinking Stone: Roger’s Out Of Cash, Misses Trump And His Wife Broke Her Ankle

Roger Stone may be under a gag order and facing jail time as he undergoes court proceedings for witness tampering, obstruction and false statement charges related to the release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016, but the worst part of the whole ordeal? “Being broke.”

During an interview with Sirius XM’s “Jim Norton & Sam Roberts” on Thursday, Stone lamented his woes: He’s had to move out of his $9,500 a month home in Fort Lauderdale for a crummy one-bedroom apartment, his car got impounded, his wife broke her ankle and President Trump never calls anymore.

“I’ve lost my home, my insurance, what little savings I had, my ability to make a living because people pay me to write and talk, and of course the things they want me to write and talk about are the very things I’m not allowed to talk and write about. In the blink of an eye you can lose everything,” he said.

In the blink of an eye you can lose everything,” he said.

“I have to pay everything I have to lawyers,” Stone continued. “And I could no longer pay the rent in the property that I was in. I moved from a nine-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment. Had to do the move myself with my wife renting a truck. On the last day of the move in kind of a freak accident the truck slips out of gear and rolls over my wife’s ankle, breaking it.”

As far as friends go, Stone “really” misses Trump, who he hasn’t spoken to in nearly two years, and feels abandoned by Alex Jones, who isn’t selling his Stone t-shirts and hasn’t offered a dime to his legal defense fund.

“I am grateful for Alex Jones for giving me a platform. He is a friend of mine. I like the guy, I like hanging out with him. I do not agree with everything he says, I agree with some of the things he says. He probably doesn’t agree with everything I say. But you know, the check would be nice.”

Report: Herman Cain To Withdraw His Name From Federal Reserve Board

Well, that didn’t last long.

Herman Cain will take his name out of the running for the Federal Reserve Board, according to ABC News.

Per ABC, an “administration official” and a “source familiar with the matter” say that the ex-pizza mogul is expected to announce his decision sometime within the next several days.

The news comes after multiple Republican senators, including Sens. Kevin Kramer (R-ND) and Mitt Romney (R-UT), said they’d refuse to confirm Cain if President Donald Trump did tap him for the position.

“If I had to vote today, I couldn’t vote for Herman Cain,” Kramer told the Washington Post and Bloomberg News. “The allegations that drove him from the presidential race are just so obviously serious.”

Trump Refers To Ivanka As ‘Baby’ During Meetings, Thinks She Should Run For President


President Trump doesn’t try to hide that he thinks his daughter Ivanka Trump, whom he refers to as “baby” during official meetings, is his most “unique” child.

During an interview with The Atlantic for a new in-depth piece on Ivanka Trump’s transition from New York high society to “playing government” in the White House — as former Chief of Staff John Kelly referred to her role in the administration — Trump praised Ivanka Trump as his “heir apparent,” in The Atlantic’s words.

Trump told The Atlantic he was proud of all of his children, but heaped praise on the first daughter, who would be “very, very hard to beat” if she ever decided to run for president. He also revisited a notion he’s floated in the past: that she would’ve been “incredible” as the ambassador to the United Nations.

“If I did, they’d say nepotism, when it would’ve had nothing to do with nepotism. But she would’ve been incredible,” he said, adding that he’d considered her for the World Bank, too, because she’s “very good with numbers.”

“She’s got a great calmness … I’ve seen her under tremendous stress and pressure,” he said. “She reacts very well—that’s usually a genetic thing, but it’s one of those things, nevertheless. … She’s got a tremendous presence when she walks into the room.”

It’s not about “liking” or being loyal to anyone.

It’s about evaluating people on the substance of their actions and the nature of their intent.

What he said is flat out absurd. Period.
I don’t care if Obama or Mother Theresa said it.

And he’s looked funny in the light for a while now.

You're proving my point though. When someone says something that favors the Dems, that person's intent is seen as positive. When they don't, their intent is negative. Same with Repubs.

So do they intend to help or hurt one side or another? Or is their intent truly objectivity?

If it's truly objectivity, why not believe them regardless of who the statements favor?

Could he not be telling the truth about Barr? He's been working closer with him than anyone on this. When he appointed Mueller Dems cheered him, repubs hated him. When he gave testimony in Congress Dems went easy and repubs went hard. Now that he backs Barr's handling of the report, the sides switch.

Always be weary of people who only favor one side or another, even those who always favor your side. Not you specifically, generally speaking.
