I just texted ESF MANAFORT!!! so that hopefully it will be the first thing she sees when she wakes up. Because I’m that kind of friend.
H got up to feed the dogs and I grabbed my phone and saw it. He came back and was like “it’s Manafort.” Dude, I KNOW. Then he asked if I was going back to sleep?!?!? It’s like he doesn’t know me at all.
"You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly," Andrea Manafort allegedly wrote of her father in March 2015 in an angry series of texts to her sister, Jessica, about her father's personal and professional life.
I'm very glad to be amongst people who are as excited as I am while I ignore my children and refresh this thread, twitter, etc. I just saw a tweet that said "I haven't been this excited on a Monday since November 7th, 2016." Truth!
The indictment makes manafort sound sloppy as shit.
I agree with this, except that he almost got away with all of it.
How PISSED must he be at Trump right now, lol.
You know, I think he probably would have gotten away with it if the Trumps were not so fucking stupid and so fucking corrupt. His biggest mistake may have been underestimating just how messy this family is.
1) I cannot WAIT to hear again how Manafort was just peripherally involved for, what, like 12 seconds, in the campaign from SHS. She's going to be all:
2) Manafort et.al will be chatting with Mueller like:

I woke up with the baby at 6:30, saw the news here, and even though she's back asleep and I could get at least another hour in, I know well that I'm up for the day! lol
I love that this was announced a week before election day. I wonder what impact it will have on local elections. And if it helps Dems, it will be fantastic to see the R's comments, especially given how they reacted with Comey and the HRC emails.
Speaking of those emails, I just talked to my mom, who said "I wonder if they'll all just walk away from this with nothing coming of it, just like Hillary did with her emails." First of all, the email thing wasn't illegal. It was dumb, we should have had laws against it/should have definitely made laws against it by now, and I agree it was wrong, but not illegal. Second of all, even if it was illegal it wasn't CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES level of illegal!

This mostly just making me feel extra anxious. It's good that something is happening, but it also feels like this is where we'll really see how far gone our democracy is. What is the administration going to blow up to try to get away from this? What are the Fox (and worse) believing people going to believe about this?
Ugh. I'm open to being told I should just be happy at progress, but I just have trouble seeing a way out of where we are.
This is me right now. Particularly because I'm still in my robe. LOL.
I haven’t gotten out of bed. I really need to pee and brush my teeth so I’m gonna have to separate myself from the internet for a couple mins. NOT FAIR.

Oh we are going to be in the wilderness for a long time. But today, celebrate that we still have rule of law.

Make no mistake, tha cancer runs deep and we are definitely in trouble, but I view this as the first step in doing something about the rot.
