Umm...why don't you wait until Mueller returns his report. If you know anything about prosecutions, prosecutors never reveal everything they know at the time they know it to prevent the rats from covering their tracks....not that Trump has anything to hide. He's a paradigm of virtue.
Unfortunately, some purchases require mandated check of several select sources first, GSA is one of them. Companies supply their wares via GSA. This was supposed to give government cheaper costs. It rarely works out that way because once it was established as being on the first go-to sources, government created an artificial barrier to a market. Hence contractors to GSA quickly figured they could raise their prices so the saving evaporated and probably increased.
I think this is probably the way it will go. Amazon cannot simply add DoD to their current infrastructure. It is too large. And DoD will not be happy with sharing their work commercial infrastructure. They are already pulling out their hair attempting to secure their supply chain. And they are starting to put serious money behind that securing.
Yah, let's get DoD to become their own cloud provide and duplicate Amazon within DoD. There are several reasons why DoD chose not to do that: cost, complexity, staffing, location, bureaucratic inertia, and giving Congress an opening to declare which parts must be built in which congressional districts and states. And that latter is important to DoD, it raises their costs to do just about anything they'd like.
In the past I would have said it ran counter to Republican priorities of siphoning government off to the private sector. Under the current administration, that's not an issue. The agency heads are already feeding their private sector benefactors handsomely.
It wouldn't necessarily be depression. Teenage brains are not fully developed. Take one drowning in testosterone, add too much money, and presto: instant dangerous person.
More accurately, he's changed "conservative values" into the fetid dingos kidneys of his imagination.
He's started a fight with just about every ally except Israel. He's started a fight with just about every trading partner. He's denigrated two entire continents in Africa and S. America. He's collapsing environmental laws. He helped give away a large pot of money to the right and we're now on track to trillion dollar deficits every year. He's dragged the institution of the Presidency down to the World Wrestling Federation level. He's denigrated women, only roughly half of our pop. He's cheated on his wife while she was birthing one of his sprogs. And, just the cherry on the top, (one good thing he's done) has shown how the Evangelicals are really just the KKK without the hats.
I, on the other hand, do hate him for helping turn America to its darkest ideas that should have gone out of style with the KKK. And for what he's doing to environment. There is no forgiving dragging America down that dark hole.
Fox and the rest of the right wingnuts regularly get taken to the cleaners by repeating what some yahoo says because it gins up ratings. Then the truth comes out, they look like idiots...except to their viewers who by that time have moved on to the next faux outrage Fox, et. al. are promoting. And there is a never ending supply of molehills they can masquerade as mountains. It's the closest thing yet to a perpetual motion machine....a perpetual propaganda machine.
China's military has been very effective in steal other countries and people information. Maybe some of their highly trained people decided to go into business for themselves on their own countrymen. I feel so bad for them...sniff...
Well, if Trump is going to hog the news cycle, then it will leak to Slashdot as those announcements and decisions effect the techno world. Maybe you could ask him really nicely to STFU for awhile. We'd be oh so grateful.
Just because it wasn't documented as a campaign contribution does not mean it was not a campaign contribution. It looks like it was paid to effect the campaign, that alone makes it a campaign contribution regardless of anything Trump says about it.
Maybe, not yet though. Mueller was not leading the investigation of Cohen, he turned that over the district office in New York. They investigated and brought the charges. Now Cohen and his lawyer are dangling Trump in front of the DA to see if that will in turn interest Mueller. If it does, then Mueller can ask the DA to ask the court to go easy on Cohen. But that hasn't happened yet, and it isn't clear Cohen has any information on the Russian influence investigation. It doesn't appear Cohen was central to Trump's campaign, he was more or less the guy called in to clean up some dooty droppings. Trump never had a high enough opinion of Cohen to bring him into his inner circle.
Cohen might have info on other Trump dealings, but that won't interest Mueller unless it can be tied to the Russians. The DA on the other hand might be very interested. Personally, I think Trump has been crooked his entire life, but in a penny-ante grifter sort of way, sort of like the people that are attracted to him.
Or Trump told him to pay and then used campaign money to pay off Cohen. Cohen might not have known where the money came from. Even if he did, that doesn't leave Trump off the hook.
Not when Trump directed Cohen to do certain things, which he apparently has, and those things are illegal, which they apparently are. The rest of the shoes haven't yet dropped. The owner of the Enquirer is also implicated and it is just as illegal for him to do what they did.
You cannot if the person in question is an employee of the Federal Government. Those NDAs Trump had his people sign, the White House counsel (who is not Trump's personal lawyer) even told the people signing them they were not enforceable.
that Tibet belongs to the Tibetans and that the Chinese project of replacing the Tibetans with Han Chinese will be reversed. And, Taiwan can now be considered an independent country of 23 million Chinese and can determine their own future with full recognition from Beijing.
Hope springs eternal...and in Xi's China, goes there to die.
Hmm...I fail to see the swelling market in mathematics, physics, etc. among the populace because of their rarity. Maybe I don't have on the right glasses.
The Right doesn't need any "bans" to "prove" there is a conspiracy. Just listen to them, they will generate any sort of "conspiracy" from nothing regardless of what is happening. They exist by mutually recursive backscratching. Some idiot gins up a plot by connecting some random dots, another cites the first as proof and adds a few more dots, a few more cite the first ones as incontrovertible evidence of the plot. Then Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Fox, etc. take over and trumpet the plot citing the first idiots.
The Left could curl up and die and they'd still be ginning up ridiculous "plots", they have no other recourse for existence and a paycheck. Tyrants everywhere use this script.
Yeah, you're right!! Pumping enormous quantities of green house gases into the atmosphere couldn't possible cause any climate changes. I don't know why they call them green house gases in the first place...might have something to with causing extra warming. Please ignore the Arctic melting, the fire in Norway, the heat wave in Europe, the Sahara marching south, etc. Nothing to see here, move along.

Really? And your evidence for this is? WaPo, if anything, has been very critical of the Administration and DoD.
You sound like a conspiracy "theorist"...a plot behind every grain of sand.
It wouldn't necessarily be depression. Teenage brains are not fully developed. Take one drowning in testosterone, add too much money, and presto: instant dangerous person.
Yeah, separating mothers from their kids doesn't effect you, so what the hell. So how are your values sitting these days? Still shining your halo?

Millions? Errmmm...could we see the evidence here or is Trump just frothing at the mouth again because the news cycle has turned against him?
Or worse, he actually believes what he's saying.

I doubt that, Cohen has a really sharp lawyer. They won't be "leaking" anything except for maximum advantage.

President Kelly: Mr. President, we have an Ambient Authority Problem?
el Presidente Tweetie: No shit Sherlock, I need to take it every night just to keep my fingers off my phone.
PK: ??? Errmmmm....not Ambien, Ambient.
ePT: Damn, what did they have to change the name for? I'm confused enough as it is. Why is this a problem?
PK: Some guy on Slashdot has pointed it out as a problem.
ePT: What does it mean, man?
PK: No sure, shall I bring him in for questioning?
ePT: Sure, he'll confirm what I already know. I'm very smart, y'know.
PK: Sure thing, Boss....(goes to Flunkie Central Command)...Order some Big Mac and shakes, he'll need a reward after that decision.
